Chapter 12: Pinching her legs and wrapping her fingers around them
After playing with Duan Shuangyue for a whole day, when the two separated in the evening, Wen Nian got into Shen Wan's car.
There is a party in the company tonight, organized by Shen Wan, saying that it is to celebrate the arrival of several new people.
The venue was chosen to be a high-end Chinese restaurant.
The private room is simple and elegant, with a small stove constantly emitting wisps of mist, filling the room with fragrance.
Except for Xu Zhijian, who joined the department through external forces, everyone else has arrived.
The round table was soon filled with people.
As the leader, Shen Wan naturally had to say a few words: "A fortune teller once told me that I would have great luck in my age group. I didn't believe it at the time, but I didn't expect it to come true today! Not only did our team recruit two generals, Nian Nian and Qing Qing, but other teams have also received a lot of new blood! Amazing, isn't it?"
"I believe that with everyone's help, our Xinyu branch will prosper in the future and sooner or later surpass my father's head office!"
Shen Wan was a man of generous character. At this moment, he held up his wine glass and spoke passionately, and everyone applauded.
"Everyone, enjoy your meal!"
"Don't worry, manager. I guarantee you'll make a killing!"
"Okay, you have ambition, reward!"
As they chatted and laughed, the dishes were gradually served, and all kinds of delicacies from land and sea occupied the entire table.
The fragrance filled the house.
Since he and Duan Shuangyue had eaten a lot outside during the day, Wen Nian had no appetite at the moment. He only picked some vegetables that did not take up too much space in his stomach, and most of the time he used his mouth to talk to people.
Halfway through, Shen Wan went to the bathroom, and just as he left, someone came in. The door was pushed open, and a clear voice penetrated the entire private room.
"I'm sorry, I'm late."
Everyone was stunned when they saw Xu Zhijian suddenly appear behind the door.
Obviously a little unexpected.
He was wearing a pure white coat today and still had those black-framed glasses on. Although he was not wearing any other adornments, he still exuded an innate aura of coolness and nobility.
It was as if every strand of his hair had the word "wealth" written on it, and just standing there, he stood out more than anyone else sitting there.
Suddenly, Wen Nian lost his mind.
Only then did I realize something.
In fact, Xu Zhijian likes to wear dark-colored clothes and is more suitable for dark colors. With his strong and lustful facial features, he can fully display his rebelliousness, just like a willful and passionate red rose.
Why are you suddenly wearing light colors recently?
Of course she knows.
From top to bottom, including the glasses, it was her favorite type.
It's just that he never gave in to her before. Instead, he always went further and forced her to accept and admit that he was the best.
She didn't expect that he would focus on this aspect.
How childish.
Wen Nian couldn't help but sneer.
Jiang Tan came back to his senses and quickly smiled: "Not too late, not too late... You came just in time, the dishes have just been served, Zhijian, come in and sit down."
Xu Zhijian nodded slightly, his eyes swept calmly across Wen Nian who was standing beside him with her head down, and he walked towards her.
Wen Nian appeared calm on the surface, but in his heart he was shouting: Don’t come over, don’t come over!
In the end, the hope was dashed.
Looking at the position he chose, Wang Keling couldn't help laughing out loud.
Jiang Tan pinched her and called out awkwardly, "Hey, Zhijian, come sit over here. That's Manager Shen's seat."
"Chen Wan?" Xu Zhijian pulled out a chair without any burden: "That's fine."
Once he entered the door, he lost all his politeness.
Jiang Tan opened his mouth but didn't say anything for a long time.
Emmm...she should just shut up.
In fact, to be honest, although Xu Zhijian's arrogant personality is a bit unpleasant, given his status, it is almost impossible for people of their level to eat at the same table with him.
In other words, even though you can't stand it, you have to admit that others are better than you, and you do have the capital to be arrogant.
So, from the very beginning, they all felt that Xu Zhijian would not come, and they were not surprised at all to see the predetermined result.
But unexpectedly, he actually parachuted in.
Even though he had taken over the manager's position, no one dared to speak out and express dissatisfaction. Aside from the complicated private relationship between the manager and Xu Zhijian, there were also business reasons:
Xinyu has always had a close cooperative relationship with Shanhai. The two families have always gotten along well, and even the chairman has to give his father some face.
In short, these small employees dare not meddle in the affairs between the big bosses.
Shen Wan's position was originally next to Wen Nian.
A cool lemon scent wafted towards him. Wen Nian tightened his jaw, frowned subconsciously, and pretended to be casual while mashing the potato chips on the plate.
She only had one request, don't do it.
Unfortunately, things did not go as planned. The next second, accompanied by a force that was neither light nor heavy, a warm feeling suddenly attached to the left leg.
Wen Nian's heart was filled with alarm, and he immediately lowered his arm to pry away the evil hand.
She was wearing a pink miniskirt today. Under the table, where no one noticed, the man's large palms held her thighs tightly. The blue veins on the back of his hands were clearly visible, and every inch of the palm lines were tightly attached to her delicate skin.
In order to avoid being discovered, Wen Nian kept his eyes on the dinner plate and pulled his fingers hard with his left hand, but unfortunately, the strength difference was too great. After he finally broke off one finger, the other party immediately dropped another one.
She was so angry that she started to bang his hand randomly, leaving several red marks on the back of his cold white hand with distinct joints, and some places even bled.
Even so, the other party still did not let go and rubbed her legs provocatively twice.
It's not very harmful, but it's extremely insulting!
I can’t stand it anymore!
Wen Niandao gave him a warning look.
The other person didn't even look at her, picking up the food with his left hand with ease, and occasionally responding to what others were saying.
In their opinion, there was nothing unusual except that Wen Nian suddenly became less talkative.
Are you sick?
In just a few seconds, Wen Nian didn't know how many times he had cursed him in his heart.
No response, right?
She was so angry that she didn't care if anyone would see her and started to tickle and pinch him.
Even the strongest willpower couldn't withstand such intense torture. At one point, Xu Zhijian quickly put down his chopsticks and covered his mouth, nearly screaming out in pain.
The action was too abrupt, causing everyone to look at him strangely.
Not noticing their reactions, Wen Nian still didn't loosen the strength in his hands, and his desire to strangle him to death had reached its peak.
You are so cheap, I’ll let you be even more cheap!
Xu Zhijian coughed twice, then immediately adjusted himself. He endured the pain, pretended to be calm, and waved his hand: "It's okay...it's stuck."
After all, they had just decided to pay more attention to him yesterday. As the team leader, Jiang Tan took the lead in greeting him: "Are you okay? Be careful."
Wang Keling agreed: "Yes...be careful, drink some water."
Under Jiang Tan's kind greeting, she didn't dare to laugh at him for the time being.
It's time to take care of this person who seems to want to commit suicide so badly.
"It's okay." These words sounded light and flirty at first, but they actually held some intriguing meaning. After saying this, Xu Zhijian, unwilling to show weakness, also pinched Wen Nian hard.
The counterattack came too suddenly, and Wen Nian couldn't help but scream. Although the volume was not loud, it was loud enough for everyone to hear.
Jiang Tan looked puzzled: "...You got stuck too?"
Qingqing raised her eyes sharply.
Something happened!!!
She knew that if these two sat together, there would be trouble!
Taihao, Mom, I'm saved!
"Ah?" A hint of panic flashed across Wen Nian's face before he reacted and murmured "hmm".
Be honest.
She quickly raised her hands and symbolically took a sip of water.
A low laugh came from the side, and then her thigh was rubbed twice again behind the tablecloth where no one was paying attention. She shrank her eyes and barely suppressed the urge to kick him.
When he came back and saw the extra people in the house, Shen Wan stood at the door, looking confused.
I am speechless.
Didn't she just take one more phone call and when she came back her seat was taken by a dog?
"Xu Zhijian? Aren't you not coming?"
The tone was indeed not polite. Several people in the room immediately fell silent and glanced cautiously at the person involved.
He was still peeling shrimps with his head down, not even looking at her. He said casually, "I didn't say I couldn't come, I just came a little late."
Shen Wan was speechless, wanting to scold but having nothing to say.
It seems that...it is true.
She actually forgot that this was a king of lateness. Since he was a child, no matter what he did, he was always a few minutes later than others. He was a real young master.
She subconsciously thought that if he didn't come on time, it meant he wouldn't come.
Shen Wan glanced at Wen Nian calmly, and breathed a sigh of relief when he found that there was nothing wrong with her.
She walked forward, kicked Xu Zhijian's chair, and ordered, "Get up, this is my place, get out of the way!"
Xu Zhijian said calmly, "Why don't you just go over there?"
"Why all that nonsense? I love sitting here, get up now!"
Compared to her aggressive attitude, the other person was calm and a little indifferent: "That side is facing the air conditioner, it's too cold. I just caught a cold a few days ago, so it's not suitable for me to sit there."
Are you using the incident of jumping into the river to morally blackmail her?
Shen Wan almost couldn't hold back and slapped him.
Why? He didn't pay for insurance, so what does it have to do with her?
Moreover, she had specifically asked Wen Nian two days ago, and it was actually his own fault!
"Are you leaving or not?" She had anger in her eyes.
Xu Zhijian sat as steady as a mountain.
Shen Wan gritted his teeth, pointed at his head, and finally uttered a sentence after a long time: "Okay... okay, another day... another day I will let my dad fire you! Just wait!"
In a rage, I got angry for a while.
These words were her greatest confidence, and she didn't even dare to say them a second time, for fear that someone would point out that her father didn't treat her as well as he treated Xu Zhijian.
There's nothing we can do about it, it's her own miserable life.
Finally, she sighed apologetically towards Wen Nian and walked away angrily.
After all, she is the head of a company. She still needs to be magnanimous and know what kind of occasion it is. She must not let her temper run wild.
Phew, hold it in. That bastard Xu Zhijian, there's time to deal with him.
I rolled my eyes at him countless times along the way.
When she sat down again, her expression had returned to the smile she had at the beginning, and with a few words, she brought the atmosphere back to life. With Shen Wan's presence, the previously quiet private room finally became lively.
When it comes to controlling the situation, she is first-rate.
Everyone started chatting about their own things, completely ignoring the little noises from Xu Zhijian and Wen Nian.
On the other side, Xu Zhijian took off his gloves and pushed the peeled shrimp towards Wen Nian.
This action was so obvious that it almost scared Wen Nian to death, but fortunately no one noticed.
Knowing how stubborn Xu Zhijian was, if she didn't accept he would definitely start a shrimp-pushing battle with her, she didn't refuse and quickly poured all the shrimps into the sesame sauce bowl, stirring it until it covered everything.
Before she finished, Xu Zhijian picked out all the coriander from a dish for her.
Wen Nian really had no appetite, but she had to eat now, otherwise the dishes in front of her would definitely increase until someone noticed.
He secretly cursed Xu Zhijian hundreds of times.
Little did they know that not far away, a pair of eyes were watching them out of the corner of their eyes, and every move they made was captured in their sight.
When the banquet was almost over, Qingqing suddenly suggested, "Since we have wine now, why don't we play pass the flower? The loser gets to choose between drinking or truth or dare. How about that?"
"sure."
Shen Wan spoke, and the game was ready to begin immediately.
In fact, Wen Nian used to hate this kind of game the most. He had played it many times since he was a child. He especially hated the kind where he had to perform a show after losing. He was clearly forced to participate, and in the end he couldn't perform well and was scolded for not being able to accept the loss.
Before she knew it, the rose landed in her hands.
A sly smile appeared on Qingqing's lips: "Hey, Nian Nian, choose one."
...What bad luck.
Wen Nian naturally wouldn't drink alcohol.
Big Adventure isn't very good either.
"I choose truth."
Xu Zhijian propped up his head and looked at her with interest, his eyes seemed to be brewing some big conspiracy.
After seeing the questions filtered out by the mobile phone app, Qingqing shook her head in disappointment: "What a weird question! What's the first thing you do after running 800 meters in college?"
Wen Nian thought for a moment and said, "Go back to the dormitory and have a good sleep."
As soon as he finished speaking, the person next to him suddenly said, "That's not right. It was me who carried you to the massage parlor."
?
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the room, including Wen Nian, fell silent.
Wait, what did he just say? It happened so suddenly that it was hard to accept.
Wang Keling was stunned, her words running faster than her brain could react: "You two... know each other?"
“I don’t know him!”
"certainly."
The two said in unison.
…
Wen Nian made amends in a low voice: "College classmates, not familiar with each other."
At the same time, she quietly pinched his leg with great force, a warning mixed with a hint of resentful compromise.
She originally wanted to try Changjun's suggestion, do some ambiguous actions, make her colleagues misunderstand, and then take the initiative to stir up trouble and push them. Now she is begging him?
Seeing the situation was once in an awkward situation, Shen Wan's brain was working at high speed: "Wow, Xu Zhijian... What a good classmate, ha, thank you on behalf of our Nian Nian, let's continue."
After saying that, he immediately played music and forced the game to start.
There was obviously something fishy going on, but no one was too idle to bother with the manager, and they all unanimously put the incident behind them.
Xu Zhijian lowered the corner of his mouth, wrapped his fingers around hers, and gently placed them on his legs without saying anything else.
