Xie Ming, who had been silent until now, suddenly frowned and asked, "Where's Jiang Che? Where has he been lately?"
Chen Du slowly said, "They're still in Jiashui, keeping an eye on that tourism project in Shangyang."
Xie Ming asked with a puzzled look, "Does he still need to personally oversee that project in Shangyang?"
Chen Du had asked this question as well, and he simply shook his head: "I don't know."
Xie Ming muttered in confusion, "What is he busy with? Is Shangyang really worth him staying for so long?"
Wang Shuo replied lazily, "Probably had some romantic encounter and doesn't want to leave."
He Jie rolled her eyes at him and said, "Do you think everyone is like you, with that kind of thing on their mind all day long?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Shuo looked up at him and asked, "Why are you swearing?"
Fang Yizhou said slowly, "Have you been scolded enough lately?"
The others smiled, but Xie Ming was still puzzled: "What did he do? He was personally overseeing a small project."
Upon hearing this, Wang Shuo glanced at him and said loudly, "If you miss him, give him a call."
After saying that, she added quietly, "Even Shen Jiayi doesn't miss him as much as you do."
Xie Ming picked up a grape and threw it at Wang Shuo, who didn't even bother to dodge.
Shen Du was as quiet as ever, hardly saying a word, but his presence was very strong. He was frowning slightly, seemingly lost in thought.
The group chatted idly, and somehow the topic turned to marriage again.
He Jie remained leaning back on the sofa and asked Xie Ming, "Brother Ming, I heard you went on a blind date recently? How did it go?"
Fang Yizhou quickly looked at Xie Ming and asked with great interest, "I've heard about it too. That girl from the Lin family, she studies medicine. Have you met her? What's she like?"
Speaking of this, Xie Ming's expression was somewhat complicated, as he recalled that hasty encounter some time ago.
Thinking that the two families knew each other, he put a lot of effort into the meeting. However, Lin Yu did come, but after sitting down for less than two minutes, she made an excuse to leave, showing no interest in continuing the conversation.
Is he really that unpopular?
Xie Ming sighed and said, "Sigh, blind dates are just like that."
Fang Yizhou pressed further, "Is there any follow-up?"
He Jie slapped him on the forehead and said, "You little rascal, you have no sense at all. Didn't you see that Brother Ming said it's just like that?"
Fang Yizhou sighed and leaned back on the sofa, saying, "So it's not just me. Why are they so insistent on urging me to get married? I really don't understand."
Upon hearing this, Shen Du recalled the words his grandfather had spoken before going to sleep.
"Life is so long, are you really sure you want to leave alone?"
Perhaps it's time for him to think about this issue.
...
Xie Yao has been a bit more relaxed lately, and she doesn't have to rush to finish her work as much. On this rare day, she took a leisurely stroll to the company and ran into Lin Yi as soon as she got downstairs. The two chatted as they entered the elevator.
Just as the elevator doors were about to close, someone suddenly pressed the button from the outside, and a woman walked in. She was dressed very elegantly and had a polite smile on her face.
"Good morning, Assistant Lin!"
Lin Yi paused for two seconds, then smiled and replied, "Good morning, Ms. Ying."
Xie Yao also called out "President Ying" as he did, but Kong Yingying's gaze fell on her, her eyes filled with undisguised scrutiny: "You are Xie Yao? I've heard so much about you."
Xie Yao's expression stiffened slightly: "Nice to meet you, Ms. Ying. I hope you will give me some guidance."
Kong Yingying smiled and approached her, saying, "What advice do you need? I've heard you're very capable; I should be learning from you."
After saying that, she added in an unyielding tone, "I have work to discuss with Assistant Lin these next two days. If I encounter anything I don't understand, I hope you can help me out."
Xie Yao noticed her approaching and subtly took a step back, saying only, "President Ying, please feel free to ask if you need anything. We won't refuse if there's no work to do."
Seeing this, Lin Yi smiled and said, "That's right, Ms. Ying, you're too kind."
As soon as she finished speaking, the elevator doors opened, and the group exchanged a few polite words before dispersing. Kong Yingying looked at Xie Yao's retreating figure with a thoughtful expression.
Lin Yi vaguely knew what she was thinking, but since she hadn't made it clear, he didn't need to expose her. He just needed to do his job well.
Kong Yingying's project is a small one, not worth getting too distracted by. Lin Yi can handle it completely. But Kong Yingying is a very difficult person to deal with. Whenever she has the opportunity to come to Shen's, she will not miss it.
Lin Yi has been having a lot of headaches lately, but he can't do anything about it.
Shen Du has had a little more free time recently, so he's been holding meetings to discuss the management of Shen's employees. The problem of employees gossiping during work hours has been repeatedly prohibited but not stopped, and he hasn't been able to find the time to deal with it properly. Now he finally has the time.
Gossiping is a natural human instinct. If a person is always working and has no leisure time, their mental health will suffer. However, everything should be done in moderation.
The meeting did not explicitly prohibit such phenomena, but only asked everyone to know when to stop, to gossip in moderation, and to refrain from spreading rumors without any basis.
When I came out of the meeting, I ran into Kong Yingying and Lin Yi after they finished talking.
Kong Yingying looked at Shen Du walking towards her from not far away, and walked over with a very polite smile on her face: "President Shen".
Chen Du paused, looked up at her, and asked, "Miss Kong is still here?"
Kong Yingying smiled and said, "I just finished talking with Assistant Lin, and President Shen just finished a meeting?"
Shen Du nodded slightly and was about to leave when Kong Yingying quickly said, "I wonder if President Shen has time this afternoon? How about we have lunch together?"
Chen Du glanced at her again before saying, "Miss Kong, you're too kind, but it's not necessary."
Kong Yingying watched his receding figure and felt slightly discouraged. He was really hard to approach!
Meanwhile, at Jiashui City Airport, Jiang Ze followed behind Jiang Che, pulling a suitcase and talking incessantly, while Jiang Che showed no impatience whatsoever.
Suddenly, Jiang Ze sighed from behind and said, "Were you even listening to what I was saying? If you don't take action soon, Zhao Zhao will be someone else's sister-in-law in a couple of days. Can't you at least do it to save face for me?"
Seeing that Jiang Che didn't speak, he continued, "You won't have any contact with him after this trip back. Aren't you worried at all?"
Jiang Che stopped and looked around before turning to say, "You should think carefully about how to explain your situation to Mom and Dad. Stop worrying about me."
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Ze's face turned ashen.
After a moment, he added, "Anyway, you should hurry up. I'll keep an eye on things here for you, so nothing will happen for now, but I'll have to go back sooner or later."
After saying that, he dropped his luggage and turned to leave. Mu Xu hurriedly stepped forward to grab the suitcase, but saw Jiang Che staring at Jiang Ze's back, looking thoughtful.
