Shen Jingxiu: "...Uncle, I really didn't mean it."
"You little rascal, you either stay completely silent or bring people to the office. Tsk tsk, that's really exciting. Young people are just different. You have a good back, so your kidneys must be good too."
"It's not my uncle, let me explain..."
"Alright, alright," Uncle quickly waved his hand. "I need to go back and clean the soles of my shoes. You can't blame me for this lipstick; you got it on yourself. You'd better find a way to make amends."
"I…………"
Watching his uncle's departing figure, Shen Jingxiu shook his head helplessly.
Sometimes it can feel quite helpless to work alone in the office.
However, this lipstick... if he remembered correctly, it was something Wen Yan accidentally left in his car when he went shopping at the supermarket yesterday.
After all, apart from Wen Yan, no other woman has ever sat in his passenger seat.
He remembered that Wen Yan took out her phone from her bag and contacted Shen Jinghe to ask him what seafood he wanted to eat.
The lipstick must have accidentally fallen out around that time.
But this is what happened when it got to him...
He closed his eyes, pinched the bridge of his nose, and then got up to pick up the tattered lipstick.
He then dialed the internal line, and Wen Zhiming came in shortly afterward.
"Mr. Shen, you called me here, this..."
As soon as Wen Zhiming entered, he saw the conspicuous red blob on the light gray carpet.
He reacted quickly and immediately picked up the internal phone: "I'll call the cleaning staff up right away."
Shen Jingxiu raised his hand to stop him: "Help me with something else first."
"What's up?"
Shen Jingxiu wiped the lipstick clean, closed it, and handed it to Wen Zhiming.
"Go and buy one exactly the same as this brand."
"good."
"Make sure the colors are exactly the same."
Wen Zhiming nodded: "I understand. But Mr. Shen, since it was damaged by accident, wouldn't buying just one lipstick be a bit too much? I heard that there are many different shades of lipstick."
"Really?" Shen Jingxiu narrowed his eyes. "These kinds of cosmetics should come in gift sets, right? Then let's go buy the set with the most complete colors."
"Okay, I'll get on it now."
Wen Zhiming accepted the mission and went out.
But actually, he's a straight man and doesn't understand these things at all. However, he has several female subordinates, so he doesn't have trouble finding a strategist.
The owner of this lipstick was just too curious to believe it.
Not only him, but also the female secretary he consulted was very curious.
She asked in a very low voice, "Assistant Wen, does our CEO have a girlfriend?"
"Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask, and don't pry into other people's business. Oh, by the way, buy two of the same gift boxes."
"Huh? Buy two of the exact same ones?"
"Yes."
"This... does it mean our CEO either won't talk about it at all, or he's trying to have his cake and eat it too?"
“…If you say one more word, your bonus will be deducted.” Actually, Wen Zhiming didn’t understand either.
Just as he was about to leave, the president suddenly called him back and added that he wanted to buy two sets.
The female secretary was very efficient; she brought two boxes of lipsticks to the company before she left work.
"Assistant Wen, where should we put the things, or do you need us to deliver them?"
Wen Zhiming couldn't make the decision himself.
Therefore, he went to consult Shen Jingxiu.
Shen Jingxiu was still busy and didn't even look up: "Put it in my car."
Wen Zhiming immediately asked him, "There's a last-minute cocktail party today. I mentioned it to you this morning. You said you'd go if you weren't working overtime. What about now?"
"I'll postpone it, it's just a temporary thing anyway. I'll leave work at six o'clock sharp, and if there's anything that needs my personal attention, I'll take care of it before I leave."
"Okay, I understand."
Wen Zhiming remained outwardly calm, but inwardly he became even more curious.
The CEO, this workaholic, isn't even planning to work overtime anymore.
I've followed him for several years, and this is the first time I've seen him leave work on time, except when he has an important dinner party at home.
And it's very likely because of a woman.
This woman is truly remarkable.
-
Wen Yan, who had just brought the cat back to the Shen family villa, sneezed twice.
Seeing this, Aunt Zhang quickly stepped forward and handed Wen Yan a tissue.
"Could it be that it's allergic to cat fur? If you bring this cat home, you're going to suffer."
"No," Wen Yan said confidently. "I played with it for a long time last time and it didn't sneeze. It must be someone talking about me. Aunt Zhang, do you like cats?"
"Yes, I love all kinds of small animals. When I was a child, my family lived in the countryside. We had two big courtyards, one in front and one in back, and we kept both cats and dogs. We were so happy."
As they were chatting, Su Yang returned.
She had more free time and came back earlier. When she heard that Wen Yan had brought the cat back from Shen Jinghe, she immediately became interested.
The mother and daughter played with the cat together, and time passed quickly.
Around seven o'clock, Shen Yuan and his daughter Shen Zhirou returned together, and Su Yang took the initiative to bring the cat to Shen Yuan to see.
Upon hearing that this was Shen Jinghe's cat, and that it had been temporarily entrusted to Wen Yan's care due to a business trip, Shen Zhirou's expression clearly changed.
Wen Yan saw all of this and was just thinking about whether to take the opportunity to provoke her tonight when another car stopped outside.
It turned out that Shen Jingxiu had returned.
Su Yang was very happy.
"Jingxiu, why didn't you call ahead when you came back today? We're about to start dinner."
"Because I could get back before mealtime, I didn't say anything."
"Come in quickly, what are you carrying? Those two boxes look quite heavy."
"For making amends."
"???" Su Yang asked, puzzled.
The others present also didn't understand.
Shen Jingxiu walked straight towards Wen Yan and explained his purpose directly.
"Yesterday when I went to the supermarket, I left one of your lipsticks in my car and accidentally broke it. Here, I'll replace it for you."
Wen Yan's eyes widened in surprise.
"This whole huge box is for me?"
"Hmm, I'm not sure what color your lipstick is, so I'll just buy them all and let you choose."
[Waaaaah, this big brother is amazing! He's incredible! I love him, long live the big brother!]
For two lifetimes, Wen Yan had only ever seen female celebrities posting pictures of their lipstick boxes and lipstick walls online; she never imagined she would receive such a gift herself.
"Thank you, brother. It's just a lipstick, you didn't need to buy me so many, and it's fine if you don't buy it. Can I open it now and take a look?"
"certainly."
This lipstick box has three layers, each filled with more than thirty lipsticks.
Wen Yan felt like she was going to have all the lipsticks in the world taken care of for the rest of her life.
She loves it!
"Thank you, brother. No girl can resist the temptation of lipstick. If she can, it must be because she didn't give her enough lipsticks. Please have a seat, brother. What kind of drink would you like? I'll go and prepare it right now."
Shen Jingxiu remained expressionless, but a smile flickered in his dark and deep eyes.
I didn't realize girls were so easy to please.
