After Wen Qiao left with Shen Jichuan, she actually went to the next private room and met with several of Shen Jichuan's leaders.
Apart from Wu Yongliang, Wen Qiao didn't know anyone else.
Wu Yongliang generously introduced Wen Qiao as the daughter of his current wife.
Wen Qiao followed Shen Jichuan like a child, calling all the big leaders in front of her "uncle" and "elder brother".
Wen Qiao is Shen Jichuan's wife and Wu Yongliang's stepdaughter. The high-ranking officials who were having dinner with her were all quite enthusiastic towards her.
Finally, after toasting everyone, it was over.
Wu Yongliang also came out and told Shen Jichuan and Wen Qiao to go back first.
Wen Qiao's palms were sweaty as she followed Shen Jichuan into the car. She only breathed a sigh of relief when they finally got in.
"Why are there so many people eating together today? I don't recognize several of them. They look quite fierce, but surprisingly, they all speak very kindly."
Shen Jichuan smiled but didn't explain further.
They are truly fierce, and their kindness is only shown to Wen Qiao. These high-ranking leaders are not necessarily so kind to their own family members.
Shen Jichuan said, "Uncle Wu invited me here. I didn't know two of them either. We only got to know each other because we had dinner together this time."
Shen Jichuan could actually guess what Wu Yongliang was doing.
He probably used the last days of his official career to cultivate some connections with Shen Jichuan.
Wu Yongliang only had one son, but his son didn't join the army either. Wu Yongliang's connections were of no use to his son.
But now Shen Jichuan is his stepson-in-law.
Wu Yongliang cultivated good relationships with Shen Jichuan. The Wu family also had his grandson, Wu Suowei. In case his grandson went to military school and joined the army in the future, having such an uncle-in-law would be helpful.
Shen Jichuan briefly explained to Wen Qiao the reason for going out to eat today.
He didn't elaborate on the intricacies of the situation.
These connections within the military have nothing to do with Wen Qiao, and there's no need to discuss them.
On the way home, Shen Jichuan asked Wen Qiao with concern if she was doing well at work. He suggested that if she was unhappy, she should change jobs.
Wen Qiao looked at Shen Jichuan's profile and said, "I think it's pretty good. The working atmosphere in our Information Department is great, and our director is good too. It's just that there might be some problems when dealing with other colleagues, but I can overcome them..."
Shen Jichuan chuckled, “Yes, my wife is beautiful and capable at work, so it’s natural that she arouses other people’s envy, jealousy and hatred towards you.”
That Sun Yuanyuan is truly despicable.
He keeps calling him an old man.
Actually, Sun Yuanyuan deliberately said that Wen Qiao married an old man, but after seeing Shen Jichuan, she had to admit that at around forty years old, Shen Jichuan was at the peak of his charm.
But Shen Jichuan just didn't like hearing people say that Wen Qiao's husband was an old man.
He can be mentioned alone.
But if Wen Qiao is included, the nature of the conversation changes.
Shen Jichuan turned to look at Wen Qiao and asked her what she should say if someone said her husband was an old man next time.
Wen Qiao said playfully, "Next time someone says that about me, I'll just say, 'My husband is Shen Jichuan.'"
"Hmph, so what if I'm old? I'm old and I know how to take care of people. I spend money on myself and take care of everything for me. I don't have to worry about anything. They just envy my good fortune..."
Before Wen Qiao could finish speaking, there was a sudden stop.
The car pulled over, and before Wen Qiao could react, Shen Jichuan grabbed the back of her head and kissed her hard.
Wen Qiao immediately slapped his strong wrist, panting as she said, "Shen Jichuan, what you're doing is very dangerous, you know that?"
Shen Jichuan looked at Wen Qiao with serious and affectionate eyes.
He said in a low, hoarse voice, "I know, but I'm moving aside."
"Wen Qiao, do you really think I'm great?"
Wen Qiao immediately replied with certainty, "Of course, in my heart, in my eyes, you are the best man in the world."
"I'm not going home tonight," he said.
