on Monday.
During the morning meeting, Shen Yinan noticed that several of his subordinates were a little absent-minded during the meeting. Whenever someone passed by, their gaze would follow for a few seconds and then look away in disappointment.
Shen Yinan just thought that everyone didn’t want to go to work on Monday, so he didn’t blame them and ended the meeting early.
At noon, because he was dealing with work late, Shen Yinan did not go to the cafeteria, and Assistant Yu brought him lunch.
When he came in with his lunch box, he shook his head and sighed, "In this society where looks are everything, it would be so great if I were a handsome guy! Eating a meal is such a big deal!"
“Who are you talking about?” Shen Yinan stood up, took the lunch box, and put it on the coffee table.
After opening it and taking a look, most of the dishes were vegetarian, and Shen Yinan was very satisfied.
After spending some time together, Assistant Yu had gotten to know his boss's personality. Sitting on the sofa across from him, he gossiped with him, "It's a long story. I'll tell you slowly."
He organized his words and said, "Didn't our previous chief legal advisor resign? Then we had several replacements, and today a lawyer suddenly arrived. I heard he's a graduate student at the University of Political Science and Law, and he's also an internet celebrity!"
"Internet celebrity?" Upon hearing this, Shen Yinan's brows knitted.
It’s not that he has a problem with internet celebrities, but Hongyu’s chief legal advisor was an internet celebrity before, and one of Shen Zhongcheng’s lovers. His ability was really too poor, and most of the cases he handled were ridiculed by the outside world. Shen Hua forcibly dismissed him a few weeks ago.
At this moment, Shen Zhongcheng has found another internet celebrity?
How many more lovers does he want to have in the company?
Seeing Shen Yinan’s expression, Assistant Yu said, “It’s not a woman this time, it’s a man!”
Shen Yinan: “…”
It’s not like he hasn’t seen male lovers before, but he didn’t expect Shen Zhongcheng to be so blatant.
His brows furrowed even further.
Assistant Yu hurriedly explained, "This time it's not Mr. Shen's... that one. This time it's a pretty big internet celebrity who's been popular for many years. Director, you may have seen him online. His name is Lu Hongting. He's really handsome. I think he's about 1.85 meters tall."
Lu Hongting?
Ana Shen was stunned.
After parting at the airport a few days ago, the two have not been in contact since then. I didn't expect that he would come to Hongyu as a legal consultant.
It seems that the relationship between him and Shen Zhongcheng is definitely not what he had just thought.
Chen Zhongcheng likes the pitiful type, and every lover is like that. His taste has not changed over the years.
Moreover, with the previous experience, the candidate this time should have been reviewed by Shen Hua.
Touching the tip of his nose, Shen Yinan felt a little guilty.
Assistant Yu was watching his expression from the side. Seeing that he didn't seem shocked, he couldn't help but gossip, "Director, have you heard some rumors a long time ago?"
“No.” Shen Yinan shook his head.
The last time Shen Zhongcheng wanted to transfer his illegitimate son to the head office, he directly pressed him into the branch office. Although the father and son did not directly confront each other, the gap between them was already there, and they had not spoken to each other for a long time.
As long as there are no more things that damage the company's image, as long as the chief consultant is capable, it doesn't matter who takes the position, it won't have a big impact on Shen Yinan.
He didn't take it too seriously and continued working after dinner.
At the end of the working day, Shen Yinan delayed a bit, and it was already late when he finished his work.
There were several knocks on the door.
Shen Yinan lowered his head to pack his things and said, “Come in.”
After the door was opened, no one came in and no one made a sound.
Shen Yinan looked up in confusion, only to see Lu Hongting standing at the door, looking at him with a smile.
"Today is my first day at work. I was busy so I didn't come to see you. I just passed by here and wanted to try my luck, but I didn't expect to be so lucky."
Ana Shen was surprised: “Your office should be upstairs, it’s not on the way.”
“…”
Lu Hongting was stunned by his bluntness. He cleared his throat and asked, "Are you going home by car, or are you being picked up by your family driver?"
"My boyfriend picked up."
Lu Hongting looked a little surprised: "Mr. Xue comes to pick you up every day? He seems to be very busy with his latest project."
“Most of the time he picks me up.”
"You two are more loving than I thought." Lu Hongting said with a smile.
Shen Yinan packed up his things and took the elevator downstairs with Lu Hongting.
There were only two of them in the elevator, and the space that usually felt spacious now felt quite cramped.
Shen Yinan tried his best to ignore this feeling and politely eased the awkward atmosphere: "Are you feeling okay today?"
"The company atmosphere is quite good and everyone is very enthusiastic. I'm just not used to the new environment."
“Mr. Lu previously worked at Dongheng Bank and performed very well during his tenure. Why did you think of changing jobs?” Shen Yinan asked.
The conditions of Dongheng Bank are much better than those of Hongyu. After the news of Lu Hongting's employment at Hongyu spread this morning, most netizens who pay attention to this aspect were also curious about this issue.
With a ding, the elevator door opened.
Lu Hongting looked down at him:
"If I said it was to get closer to someone, would you think I was weird?"
…
After leaving the company, Xue Du's car was parked in a conspicuous position at the door.
The car window rolled down, revealing the young man's handsome profile.
His thin eyelids lifted, and his sight swept over the people behind Shen Yinan. He had no emotions, but inexplicably made people feel a strong sense of oppression.
"I heard that Mr. Lu just joined Hongyu, but I haven't had time to congratulate him yet."
Lu Hongting said: “Thanks to Mr. Shen’s appreciation, he gave me this opportunity.”
The two looked at each other through a person. There was no verbal battle, but they could see the coldness in each other's eyes.
Shen Yinan didn’t wait for Xue Du to open the car door for him. He said hello to Lu Hongting and got in the car from the other side.
Seeing the fatigue in the young man's eyes, Xue Du didn't want to chat with Lu Hongting any more. He said a few words casually, rolled up the window, and asked the driver to drive back.
It was a torture to suddenly enter a high-intensity job after a vacation. He closed his eyes as soon as he got in the car.
Therefore, no one saw the figure standing there long after the car had driven away.
Shen Yinan leaned on Xue Du's shoulder in a daze and rested for about ten minutes. Looking at the road in front of him, he asked vaguely, "Where are we going?"
"Let's go to the old house." Xue Du kissed his hair. "There's cake today, made by grandma."
“Is it grandma’s birthday?” Shen Yinan was startled and panicked.
He hasn't prepared a gift yet!
He couldn't help but feel a little annoyed, "Why didn't you tell me?"
Xue Du pinched the tip of his ear and explained gently: "Today is not grandma's birthday, it's my grandpa's lunar birthday."
After thinking for a moment, he added, "It's not really a birthday celebration, it's just a gathering for everyone to have a meal."
Shen Yinan was suddenly speechless.
I heard from Xue Ning before that Xue Du’s grandfather passed away several years ago.
The last time I saw his photo at Xue’s house, I could tell that the family members had a very good relationship.
However, what Shen Yinan didn't expect was that even though his grandfather had passed away for so many years, the Xue family still remembered his birthday and would get together on this day.
It was as if he had never left.
When the car stopped downstairs of the Xue family's old house, Shen Yinan had already hurriedly changed his clothes in the car.
The suit he wore at work was too formal, and he was embarrassed to wear it to the family dinner, especially since Xue Du was only wearing a T-shirt.
Finally, he checked carefully again before entering the old house.
