Chapter 81: Xian Goose Manor I remember you, you are our young girlfriend...
The next day, when new people reported in, a familiar face showed up, and Luo Shu realized that the person Fei Wei mentioned as a relative was actually Shen Qianshu.
Luo Shu inevitably felt a little awkward when they met for the first time since she confessed her feelings. She was thinking about how to return the product to Fei Wei and get rid of this hot potato. However, Shen Qianshu's subsequent behavior surprised her greatly. He didn't act cynical or take the initiative to talk to her. He seemed like a completely different person.
The brainstorming session lasted the entire day, and he quietly sat in a corner of the meeting room, fulfilling his duties as an assistant and taking notes.
The meeting ended and the group filed out. The conference room, which was packed a moment ago, was now only occupied by the two of them. Shen Qianshu did not say a word, but slid his swivel chair and respectfully presented his notes with both hands, waiting for acceptance.
In line with his lazy study attitude as a student, Luo Shu symbolically flipped through a few pages without much expectation. To his surprise, he found that the seventh anniversary thanksgiving theme and Fei Wei's birthday party were all marked with his own little thoughts and opinions.
"You're quite serious," she commented.
"Am I qualified to be your assistant?" Shen Qianshu said lazily, lying on the table with one arm supporting his head.
Luo Shu glanced over at the sound and saw his true colors, begging for praise. She closed her notebook and said, "You have nothing better to do than to be my assistant."
"It's because..." Shen Qianshu paused, and looked at her with a hint of compromise in his eyes, "Because of my brother."
"Your brother?" Luo Shu was skeptical.
"Yeah." He shifted his sitting position, shifting his weight back and leaning his upper body against the back of the chair, legs crossed. "Because my brother always asks me to come into the company to help him. But, well, I can help with anything except this."
"Why?"
"That's his grandfather's company. I'm not in a legitimate position. Not only can I not help him, but I'll also cause dissatisfaction from the board of directors."
Shen Qianshu stated the facts in the most relaxed and normal tone.
Luo Shu's originally prepared expression of waiting to see how he would argue collapsed little by little after hearing these words. Somehow, Fang Qingzhuo's angry remarks about the illegitimate child suddenly echoed in her ears.
Shen Qianshu didn't notice her change. He sat up straight, clasped his hands in front of him, and acted like he was begging for mercy: "So, just think of it as me begging you, please don't think I'm a burden, and don't go to Sister Fei Wei and ask me to get out."
Facing such a Shen Qianshu, Luo Shu felt indescribably guilty, and her voice became lower and lower: "I, didn't want you."
Hearing this, Shen Qianshu was stunned for half a second before he lowered his head, grinned, and replied happily: "I know."
"Qian Shu..." Luo Shu hesitated for a moment, "How have you been during those years since you left Ningcheng?"
Shen Qianshu raised his head: "Why do you ask that?"
"Otherwise, why didn't you contact everyone after you left?"
"This..." Obviously not expecting her to bring up the past, Shen Qianshu organized his words intermittently, "Of course I'm doing well. I go to the best private school, and my pocket money is several times more than before. As for why I didn't contact everyone, do you think I'm a heartless person who doesn't want to leave."
"You're not that kind of person."
Shen Qianshu felt as if someone had gently pinched his heart. Strictly speaking, his life before he was 14 only had two relatives: his grandparents and his biological father who provided him with financial support every month. He almost forgot that there were also endless schools to transfer to.
"You're so concerned about me?" He put on his most comfortable smile. "I'm fine, really. When I first arrived in Shenzhen, Sister Fei Wei took good care of me. If you don't believe me, go ask her."
At this moment, Luo Shu seemed to see the Shen Qianshu of the past. As soon as he entered their junior high school, the girls on the entire floor came to watch him. In addition, he was a righteous and generous person and once became a celebrity in the grade. However, the turning point was an unconfirmed rumor. The reason behind his constant transfers was the destruction of other people's families. In a moment, the object of admiration in the clouds became a rat in the gutter. It is conceivable that the higher you are praised, the more miserably you will fall. When the rumors were the most sensational, the injuries on his face were more serious, and he was often covered with bruises.
It was during that period that she became the deskmate of Shen Qianshu.
Unfortunately, she didn't understand the twists and turns hidden behind the playful smile at that time. At the age when self-esteem is the strongest, teenagers are accustomed to disguising themselves by being heartless.
At the end of the day, Luo Shu felt like she was dreaming, confused. Shen Qianshu joined their company. He didn't mention the things that troubled her, and she didn't ask him about his situation in those years. As a result, she was not surprised by Tang Tang's appearance when she got off work on time.
But before she could finish the first half of her greeting, Tang Tangguang came over and hurriedly said, "Luo Shu, I'm not here to see you today." Then he walked past her and sweetly put his arm around Fu Ze.
Luo Shu rubbed her eyes deliberately. She was not mistaken. It was Fu Ze's arm.
Zhai Xiaowen even turned back halfway through checking in to eat melons.
"What's going on?"
Tang Tang used her free hand to toss her hair wantonly: "Can't you see? We're together."
In an instant, the colleagues who were still around started to cheer and offer their blessings.
Surrounded by the hustle and bustle, Fu Ze kept scratching his neck in embarrassment. Compared to his restraint, Tang Tang was so enthusiastic, as if possessed by a female celebrity attending a fan meeting, waving her arms and responding one by one: "Thank you everyone, thank you everyone, I'll treat you all to dinner another day."
The dinner was held in the evening two days later. After the persistent interview and tracking of the war correspondent Zhai Xiaowen, the truth of the story was reported on the front page, which was a drama of a girl chasing a boy. Ms. Tang Tang fell in love at first sight and launched a fierce offensive against the taciturn Mr. Fu. It was so fierce that in less than half a month, Mr. Fu successfully fell in love with her.
After getting in the car, Zhai Xiaowen beamed and teased, "I was wondering why Teacher Fu has been playing mobile games so strangely lately and even asked me for advice. Turns out he's in love."
Fu Ze, who was sitting in the passenger seat, pushed his glasses up awkwardly. "The games produced by their company, I was thinking..."
"Ah..." Zhai Xiaowen's screams instantly filled the carriage. "What did you say? Sister Tang Tang works at Zhuyou?"
Luo Shu, who had just climbed into the back seat, was caught off guard and was frightened by her intimidation. She covered her chest to calm down.
Zhai Xiaowen quickly poked her head into the front row and said excitedly, "Teacher Fu, can you and Sister Tang Tang help me get some limited-edition Chi Yuan merchandise? It's so hard to get."
Fu Ze kept a small distance from her without letting anyone know, speaking in a loud voice. "I'm not sure about that, but you can ask her in person later."
Shen Qianshu, who was driving the car, was unhappy and pushed the extra head back to the back seat: "Come on, don't make a fuss, it's just a broken game."
In the past two days, the social expert Shen Qianshu has become close friends with the design department.
Zhai Xiaowen straightened her messed up bangs and said, "What a crappy game! Our Little Chaos is awesome. Anyone who plays it will love it."
"I don't play that stupid game." Shen Qianshu raised his eyes and glanced at Luo Shu in the rearview mirror. Luo Shu lowered her head to play with her phone, not participating in the topic and not reacting much. He breathed a sigh of relief and started the car to head to the dining destination.
It was a half-hour drive, and we talked and laughed all the way, either looking forward to the upcoming annual meeting lottery or wishing for a salary increase and vacation.
They soon arrived at the restaurant. Looking through the car window, Luo Shu was stunned for a moment before she realized that the place they were going to eat was Xian E Zhuang.
Shen Qianshu turned the steering wheel and reversed into the parking space. A Leopard Cullinan stopped in the empty parking space where he was about to park, one step ahead of him.
It's true that enemies meet in a narrow road.
Shen Qianshu suddenly felt unlucky and looked for another empty seat, no matter how far away it was.
It was still some time before it got completely dark. When the four of them got off the car, they saw Fang Qingzhuo standing at the door of the store and talking to someone from a distance. He was tall and had long legs, which was very eye-catching. The person opposite him was wearing a work suit, so it was not difficult to guess that he was a staff member of the store.
Only four steps away, Fang Qingzhuo seemed to sense something. His upturned eyes, which looked at everyone calmly, pointed at Luo Shu accurately like a compass without any warning. The tiredness on his face disappeared in an instant, and his pupils shone brightly in the dim light.
The two eyes met and separated in confusion.
Luo Shu and Fang Qingzhuo's gaze only lasted two seconds before they looked away. Shen Qianshu had a look of disgust with his back teeth clenched, Fu Ze paid special attention to him as if they had only met briefly, and Zhai Xiaowen was simply admiring the handsome guy's gaze.
Following the end of Fang Qingzhuo's line of sight, Manager Sun spotted Luo Shu among the group. With his excellent memory, he immediately recognized the beautiful girl. "I remember you. You're Qingzhuo's girlfriend. You and your friends have plans to have dinner together today, right? I'll go get ready."
Luo Shu instinctively refused and opened her mouth, wanting to say that they had broken up and that she was coming over to have dinner with her colleagues, but no sound came out. All those polite words were stuck in her throat, leaving her feeling uncomfortable.
Still, Shen Qianshu couldn't stand it any longer, so he stood up and politely declined, distancing himself from the matter: "No, thank you! We've already reserved a seat, and we don't know or have anything to do with this passerby."
As the sky grew darker, the "passerby" finally looked away: "Of course, you and I have nothing to do with each other."
The implication is that other people can't say for sure.
The two men's eyes met in the air. One hated the other for being a haunting ghost and interfering everywhere, while the other hated the other for taking away someone else's favor and had no idea how he had gotten close to the man.
No matter how slow they were, Fu Ze and Zhai Xiaowen could hear something unusual between the lines. They looked at each other, wondering what was going on.
Although Manager Sun was confused about the situation, he was very good at reading people's expressions and tried to explain the situation with a smile: "My question is, today everyone's orders at Fresh Goose House are 50% off."
Tang Tang, who had been waiting for no one for a long time, ran out of the private room in a hurry as soon as she received the message from her boyfriend. She saw the unexpected scene, slapped her forehead and kept repeating, "It's over, it's over."
She ran to Luo Shu first, lowering her head in shame: "I'm sorry, Luo Shu, I didn't tell you in advance. Um, I called them over."
them?
Almost at the same time as the question came to her mind, Luo Shu heard someone not far away urgently calling her name.
My heart tightened and I looked up to find the source of the sound. At the end of my sight was Xia Yimo, whom I hadn't seen for a long time, standing in the store lobby, and Zhuang He, whom I hadn't seen for a long time either.
