My wife's happiness makes me happy too (Bonus Chapter)
He was clearly tattling.
However, Lu Zhenyu's relaxed and self-deprecating tone in front of everyone did not make people feel that she was being sarcastic.
Without even asking, just from the way Chairman Shen looked at the person in his arms with such doting eyes that it was almost dripping with affection, everyone already realized the seriousness of the problem.
As Shen Jingsi frowned and glanced towards the private room, Chairman Li, surrounded by beautiful women, quickly came over to greet him.
"I'm so sorry, Chairman Shen, I didn't know you and Representative Lu were acquaintances." He slapped his thigh with a face full of regret. "Isn't this like the flood washing away the Dragon King's temple? Don't we recognize our own people?"
The man smiled ingratiatingly and reached out his hand, but instead of shaking hands with Lu Zhenyu's slender waist, he didn't reach out to grasp hers.
His wife had put it so bluntly; how could he not guess what had happened before he arrived?
Even he couldn't remain unmoved while holding his own celestial beauty, let alone these old fogies.
His aura instantly turned cold. He put one hand in his pocket and hooked the other around his wife's waist. His tall and imposing figure occupied two-thirds of the doorway.
His piercing gaze fell upon Chairman Li, sharper than a knife.
Chairman Li's hand froze in mid-air, unsure whether to retract it or not.
But people are virtual.
Having climbed to this position, I've experienced all sorts of interpersonal relationships and social dynamics.
Without a doubt, these two are definitely having an affair.
That made sense.
Why was the woman so arrogant when we were toasting her?
It's true that there's a powerful backer behind a relationship.
Chairman Li licked his lips, slightly embarrassed. "I'm really sorry, Chairman Shen, I truly didn't know Miss Lu was one of your people."
The word "person" in "your person" is quite sophisticated.
Shen Jingsi's eyes were cold and inscrutable, revealing no emotion whatsoever.
Wang Kai, who was leading bodyguards in the corridor, said leisurely, "Chairman Li, this is Madam Shen, the wife of our Chairman Shen."
"..."
The room fell completely silent.
Lu Zhenyu could already imagine the expressions on everyone's faces before she even turned around.
"Madam Shen?" A man stammered, his eyes wide with disbelief. "Isn't Madam Shen already..."
“Not dead.” Lu Zhenyu slowly turned around and smiled at the other person. “I’m still alive.”
"..."
As the cold light shone from Shen Jingsi, Chairman Li's plump body visibly swayed backward before being supported by someone.
Shen Jingsi asked coldly, "Which hand was it just now?"
"Me." The man's face turned deathly pale, and he couldn't utter a word for a long time.
The atmosphere in the private room became tense and frozen.
No one dared to speak easily.
Lu Zhenyu knew Shen Jingsi's temper best. She stepped out of his arms and said, "I didn't have either hand. I told Chairman Li to do whatever he wanted. Otherwise, he wouldn't have let me out."
Xiao Liu, who was standing next to him, suddenly realized.
This isn't about feigning ignorance; it's about her anticipating this situation and preparing an out for the other person beforehand.
Shen Jingsi lowered his eyes and glanced at him, as if asking, "Really?"
"Really, why would I lie to you?"
Lu Zhenyu took his hand and led him into the private room. "Chairman Li specially invited you to the banquet, and everyone has been waiting for you in the private room for a long time. Let's start, because you still have to go home and help your children with their craft homework after this."
Lu Zhenyu had already given everyone a way out, so naturally everyone took the opportunity to back down.
The couple were ushered to the seats of honor by the crowd.
The big stars who were originally sitting on either side also tactfully retreated to the doorway.
Chairman Li personally went over and pulled out a chair for Shen Jingsi, but he didn't sit on it; instead, he gave it to Lu Zhenyu.
Xiao Liu was observant and immediately brought over another chair.
Everyone took their seats, and the waiters began to serve the dishes.
Although Chairman Li is a womanizer, he is truly shrewd. He was very sincere in admitting his mistakes to Lu Zhenyu and Shen Jingsi, and he openly reflected on his actions.
"Madam Shen, I am so, so sorry, you know, I..." She slapped her left cheek, "I won't say anything more, I will punish myself."
He drank six glasses of baijiu in a row. "Madam Shen, have you calmed down yet?"
Lu Zhenyu smiled politely, "It was just a misunderstanding. It was my fault for not explaining the situation to everyone in time. Chairman Li, you don't need to take it to heart."
“Besides…” she tilted her head to look at Shen Jingsi, “Our Mr. Shen is never an unreasonable person.”
With his head bowed, Shen Jingsi curled his lips into a smile. His long, slender fingers gripped the silver chopsticks, and the wedding ring on his ring finger shimmered silver in the light.
He patiently picked out the fish bones from the plate one by one, placed it in front of Lu Zhenyu who was talking to someone else, and gently patted the back of her head with his large hand, saying, "Eat."
Taking advantage of Mr. Li's guilty conscience, Lu Zhenyu and he just talked about the donation.
Receiving a reproachful look, Shen Jingsi's sharp eyes curved into a tender smile. He placed the chopsticks in Lu Zhenyu's hand while slowly wiping his hands with a towel.
What's Lingying Ecology up to lately?
Chairman Li glanced at it and said, "Oh dear, Chairman Chen must be worried. Recently, the people below have been leading the technical team to develop new energy storage technologies, in response to the national energy and environmental protection policies."
“Good news.” Shen Jingsi looked at his wife who was engrossed in eating. “Lingying is an industry leader. It’s not easy to be the first to try something new. If you have any difficulties, just say so.”
Since the bigwigs had spoken, Li Jie didn't hold back anymore. "To be honest, Chairman Shen, we need a piece of land for subsequent industrial expansion and upgrading, but the higher-ups... have been holding back the approval."
Shen Jingsi put the towel back, nodded to the back, and Wang Kai took his phone and went out.
Who is Shen Jingsi? Nowadays, he's involved in both business and politics, and he's as close as father and son with the person above him.
A phone call was made in his name, and the matter was resolved in less than five minutes.
Li Jie was overjoyed.
He enjoyed interacting with Shen Jingsi.
Regardless of whether he's a capable person or ruthless in his methods, the key point is that he's always straightforward and decisive in his dealings with others, without the roundabout ways of officialdom.
Li Jie immediately stood up and offered three cups of baijiu (Chinese liquor).
Shen Jingsi sat there steadily, a hint of doting smile only appearing on his face when he looked at his wife who was obediently eating with her head down.
He picked up his chopsticks and served his wife a few more dishes. Just then, a plate of boiled shrimp was placed in front of him, and he picked one up.
Chairman Li gestured for a professional waiter to peel the shrimp, but Shen Jingsi refused.
He used his hands to first remove the shrimp heads, then peeled off the shrimp shells piece by piece and put them on his plate.
He didn't eat anything, but picked up a freshly changed hot towel and slowly wiped his hands.
"In recent years, new energy has emerged, and although the results have varied, Chairman Li's courage to be the first to try something new is admirable."
"Not at all, not at all. If it weren't for Chairman Shen's support of these small businesses, we wouldn't be where we are today."
"Help if you can, that's what my wife often tells me."
The shrimp on the plate was taken away by the silver chopsticks that caught his eye out of the corner of his eye. Shen Jingsi looked at Lu Zhenyu, who was about to put the shrimp in her mouth, and leaned in with a smile, "Is it delicious?"
"tasty."
"Want two more?"
Seeing Lu Zhenyu nod, the shrewd Chairman Li quickly got up and turned the boiled shrimp around.
Shen Jingsi picked up a few more and put them on his plate, then slowly began to peel them.
Li Jie, who was standing next to him, said with a smile, "Chairman Shen is young and promising. He has built a great business and dotes on his wife. He is truly admirable."
Shen Jingsi met Lu Zhenyu's furtive glance as she ate her meal, a slight smile playing on his lips, and placed the peeled shrimp meat onto her plate.
"Don't laugh at me, Mr. Li, but I'm afraid of my wife."
cough!
Lu Zhenyu swallowed that thought.
Her husband is fighting a battle for her, so she can't afford to let him down since she can't help him.
Seeing the sudden silence around them, everyone was both surprised and somewhat incredulous, but Shen Jingsi remained quite calm.
"After pursuing her for over thirty years, she finally became my wife. I should pamper and spoil her, shouldn't I?"
Li Jie was the first to react, "Yes, yes, yes, Chairman Shen is absolutely right. Of course, a man should pamper his wife."
"Yes." Shen Jingsi reached out and wiped the water stains from the corner of the girl's mouth. From the moment he entered the private room, everyone's eyes and hearts were only on his wife. "If my wife is happy, then I am naturally happy too."
Li Jie is incredibly astute; how could he not tell?
"I'm not saying anything more, Chairman Shen, Mrs. Shen, I'll drink this one down." He tilted his head back and downed a glass of baijiu, patting his chest. "And Mrs. Shen's foundation, from now on, no matter how much other groups donate, Lingying will definitely be the one to take the lion's share!"
