"Zhizhi, I haven't been flirting with anyone."
Nanzhi: "..."
I was quite surprised. Shen Xingmian actually knew what it meant?
The girl looked up at him briefly, a hint of a smile in her bright eyes, and then said with a smile:
“I didn’t say that, you said it yourself.”
Shen Xingmian: "......."
Sigh, she's clearly angry.
"Miss, now is the perfect time. Tell him about your job, and you won't have to worry anymore."
The MeowMeow machine popped up and mentioned something I mind.
Nan Zhi frowned. She really didn't want to talk to Shen Xingmian right now. She hadn't expected that he had been looking for people these past few days. If the receptionist hadn't informed her, she wouldn't have known at all.
"So, girls have been coming to see you every day these past few days?"
Nan Zhi spoke casually, her clear voice making Shen Xingmian feel a little guilty. He hadn't taken such a small matter to heart at all, especially since he had driven those people away in the end.
“They weren’t girls, they were all people who wanted to cooperate. They brought their children to broaden their horizons. I wasn’t interested, so I sent them out. We barely had any contact.”
Shen Xingmian explained that these were indeed the words those people had said to him.
Nan Zhi raised her eyebrows and looked at Shen Xingmian with a smile, "Really? So you're quite innocent."
Shen Xingmian: "..." He finally understood that women don't need a reason to get angry.
Actually, Nan Zhi wasn't angry with Shen Xingmian. It was just that she was furious when she saw the way Lian Chuchu looked at her. She knew she shouldn't mind, but she just didn't want other women to look at her like wolves eyeing meat. It was really disgusting.
“I didn’t originally intend to talk to the head of the Lian family. I’ll go back and have him find Lian Jin later, otherwise there’s no point in discussing this cooperation.”
This was something Shen Xingmian had planned in advance, and it also served to make the Lian family head understand Lian Jin's position.
Upon hearing this, Nan Zhi couldn't help but curl her lips into a smile. That's more like it.
Shen Xingmian, who was keeping a close eye on Nan Zhi's movements, finally breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the smile on the girl's lips. Nan Zhi was really hard to coax when she was angry, whereas if Shen Xingmian was unhappy, Nan Zhi could coax her with just a few words.
The two ate lunch leisurely, and Nanzhi forgot to mention her work to Shen Xingmian, which resulted in it being delayed for a long time.
I didn't get back to the company until two hours later.
Even the head of the family had waited long enough, but he dared not get angry at the Shen family. He thought that since the head of the Shen family and his son were friends, he would definitely be able to secure this cooperation.
So, as soon as she heard that Shen Xingmian had returned, she and Lian Chuchu went to his office.
After knocking and entering, Nan Zhi took off her shoes and was curled up on the sofa reading a book, while Shen Xingmian was sitting at his desk, looking down at the documents.
Lian Chuchu glanced at Nan Zhi, a hint of jealousy flashing in her eyes.
Upon seeing the protagonist's appearance, Nan Zhi closed the book. As soon as she looked up, she met the look in Lian Chuchu's eyes. She curled her lips in a sarcastic smile and gave Lian Chuchu a provocative look.
Lian Chuchu gritted her teeth and clenched her fists, feeling a deep resentment towards Nan Zhi.
However, he remained calm on the surface and even nodded to Nanzhi.
Nan Zhi deeply felt that if Lian Chuchu were to be compared to anything, it would be a cockroach, an unkillable cockroach. After all, she was a heroine with a halo, always showing her kindness and gentleness.
"Mr. Shen, can we discuss the cooperation plan now?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Xingmian raised her head, her sharply defined face and her peach blossom eyes staring at the Lian family head, but there was not a trace of warmth in her eyes.
His voice was deep, yet cold, "Regarding the cooperation, I think Patriarch Lian has misunderstood."
The head of the Lian family was taken aback, then a hint of anger rose in his heart, but he still maintained his smiling face. "I wonder what President Shen's meaning is?"
Shen Xingmian raised her eyes and glanced at him indifferently, "I'm only discussing this project with you, young master. Otherwise, there are quite a few people who want to cooperate with the Shen family."
Patriarch Lian: "..."
Shen Xingmian is right; indeed, many people want to cooperate with the Shen family.
"Mr. Shen, my father is more capable than my elder brother. I don't know why you chose him? Did someone say something to you?"
Lian Chuchu felt that Shen Xingmian hadn't said that at first, but suddenly changed her mind after just one meal. She couldn't help but think of Nan Zhi, and realized that this shameless woman must have been gossiping.
Shen Xingmian must have been deceived by Nan Zhi and doesn't know the woman's true colors. Even if she is being kept, someone like Nan Zhi is not worthy to stand in front of the Lian family head.
Shen Xingmian frowned, his pupils instantly filled with displeasure and indifference.
"Patriarch Lian, are you here to discuss cooperation or to enjoy yourself? Bringing a woman to the Shen family is an attempt to pollute the air of our Shen family."
The Lian family head's brow twitched, and he quickly apologized, "I'm so sorry, Patriarch Shen, this is my daughter, she came here specifically to broaden her horizons."
He then looked at Lian Chuchu with displeasure, "Quickly apologize to Patriarch Shen. Who told you to speak so carelessly?"
Lian Chuchu: "..."
She looked at her father in disbelief; this was the first time since they had recognized each other that the head of the Lian family had given her such a cold shoulder.
Her face was as pale as paper. Then, she turned her gaze to Shen Xingmian. Her bright eyes welled up with tears. She looked at Shen Xingmian pitifully, and her body seemed to be swaying. The emotions in her eyes were obvious at a glance.
That gaze made it seem as if Shen Xingmian was a heartless man who had abandoned her, making Shen Xingmian's face even colder.
"Miss Lian's behavior makes people think we've killed your whole family."
Nan Zhi got down from the ground, put on her shoes, and slowly walked over. Although there was a faint smile on her lips, her eyes were cold and sharp when she looked at Lian Chuchu.
Lian Chuchu sniffed, looking extremely aggrieved. Her watery eyes stared at Nan Zhi. "Junior Sister Nan, I have never offended you. Why do you always bully me? Is it just because I have a good family and Brother Feifan likes me?"
Nanzhi: "..."
What should I do if my hands are a little itchy?
"Miss, hold on, please hold on."
The exit reminder from the meow machine seemed to fear that Nan Zhi might suddenly become upset and beat Lian Chuchu up.
"Miss Lian, you need to provide evidence to support your claims. I have never bullied you."
Nan Zhi never provoked Lian Chuchu; every time, it was Lian Chuchu who jumped right in front of her.
Upon hearing this, Lian Chuchu raised her hand to wipe away her tears and her gaze fell on Shen Xingmian.
"Mr. Shen, I was too talkative just now, I'm sorry."
That choked voice, that aggrieved expression—even Nan Zhi felt that she truly lived up to Lian Chuchu's reputation. Looking at the Lian family head's face, she was already heartbroken.
If Nanzhi hadn't known about Lian Chuchu, she probably would have been moved by her story.
"Ms. Lian, the world owes you an acting award."
He opened his mouth with a smile and said something that made Lian Chuchu's face stiffen slightly.
