Chapter 56 Wasn’t it that day?
When the door of Room 2202 was knocked, Fan Shengmei was sleeping on the desk.
She rubbed her sore neck and opened the door. Andy was standing outside with a briefcase in his hand.
"I called you but no one answered, so I came straight here."
Andy glanced at the empty living room and asked, "Where are Little Earthworm and Guan Guan?"
"Little Earthworm went to the cafe, and Guan Guan went to the music store to pick out a birthday present for a friend."
Fan Shengmei moved aside to let her in. The documents scattered on the table and the report interface on the computer screen revealed that she had been up all night.
Andy frowned, "Stay up late again?"
"There's no other way. Time is tight and the task is heavy."
Fan Shengmei poured her a glass of water and said, "We must finish the plan this week and start visiting each household next week."
Andy took the water cup and took out some documents from the file bag.
"The companies I've selected are highly compatible with your company's products."
She pointed to the highlighted section and said, "Especially given their recent funding plans and risk aversion needs, they should be interested in your proposal."
Fan Shengmei's eyes lit up. "I made a few alternative plans last night. Do you have time to take a look at them for me?"
"certainly."
Andy flipped through the file and paused, "I came here to tell you something else."
She flipped open a document and said, "Fanggan Group is a subsidiary of Guokun."
Seeing Fan Shengmei's frozen expression, Andy continued,
"In fact, your company has several products that are very suitable for Guokun's current layout."
She looked directly at Fan Shengmei, "Are you sure you don't want to tell Meng Yanchen?"
Fan Shengmei sat back on the sofa in silence, her fingers unconsciously stroking the rim of the cup.
Andy put down the file and said, "I understand your concerns."
"You don't want people to accuse you of relying on connections, and you don't want Meng Yanchen to think you have ulterior motives."
She changed the subject, "But if the person in front of you is not Meng Yanchen, but an ordinary client, would you submit a proposal?"
"Yes."
Fan Shengmei blurted out, "They can make money, and I can get a commission. Why not do something that's a win-win situation?"
Andy spread his hands, "So what's the problem?"
"I......"
Andy looked straight at her and softened his voice.
"The problem is that you feel that you two are not equal. Xiaomei, you are too nervous."
"Meng Yanchen's girlfriend status shouldn't be a shackle for you. You are Fan Shengmei first, and his girlfriend second. Be confident. You deserve to be loved. He likes the real you."
She held Fan Shengmei's hand and said, "You are so cautious now, worrying about gains and losses, it will only make both of us more and more tired."
Fan Shengmei looked down at her plan, her eyelashes trembling slightly.
"Let me think about it..."
At this moment, the cell phone suddenly rang, and the three words "Meng Yanchen" on the screen made both of them look up at the same time.
Andy stood up tactfully and said, "I'm leaving now. I'll leave the plan here with you. I'll take your plan first."
Fan Shengmei smiled and nodded, then answered the phone.
"Hello?"
"I'll pick you up in the evening."
Meng Yanchen's voice came through the microphone with a hint of smile.
"How are your friends getting there? Do you need a car?"
"No need, Little Earthworm will go directly after get off work, Guan Guan and Andy will be together."
"Okay, I'll definitely behave well tonight."
It was originally a very brief call, but no one hung up.
The phone suddenly fell silent.
Meng Yanchen leaned against the bedroom window, listening to the slight breathing sound in the microphone.
Beside him was the lingering scent of sandalwood, which penetrated his heart and lungs, making him feel extremely peaceful at the moment.
"Hello? Meng Yanchen?" Fan Shengmei called him softly.
"Yeah." He responded very lightly, almost without making any sound.
"Meng Yanchen?"
"Um."
"Meng Yanchen?"
"Um."
He really enjoyed listening to her calling his name quietly, each word was extremely clear, with a barely audible ending.
Fan Shengmei looked at the full signal in confusion.
"Meng Yanchen, can you hear me?"
There was a low laugh from the other end of the phone.
"Yeah, I can hear it."
"Then why don't you speak?"
"Thank you."
He said suddenly, his voice gentle.
Fan Shengmei was bewildered. "Thank me for what?"
Meng Yanchen did not answer, but looked at the puppet at the head of the bed and said softly,
"I haven't seen you for three days on a business trip. I missed you."
—
Since the sisters from Ode to Joy had no special requests, Meng Yanchen booked dinner in a Chinese-style private room.
There is a mahogany round table, celadon tableware, and ink landscape paintings on the wall, exuding luxury in a low-key manner.
A bottle of Hermès perfume was placed on each lady's seat as a gift for tonight.
Bao Yifan looked at the empty space in front of him and deliberately said teasingly,
"Lao Meng, where's mine? I'm a guest tonight, a witness to your happiness, and you just..."
He knocked on the table. "Do you think I'm air?"
Meng Yanchen adjusted his glasses, rarely showing a good face to him.
"Okay, next time you play golf, I'll let you have three strokes."
"Hey,"
Bao Yifan was even more unhappy, "Do I need you to give in?"
Everyone laughed.
"Hello everyone, I'm Meng Yanchen, Fan Shengmei's boyfriend. Today is the first time I'm meeting you all officially."
He stood up and spoke in a gentle voice, without any condescending attitude. Instead, he sounded like a college student meeting his parents for the first time, humble and sincere.
"Wow~"
Qu Xiaoxiao spoke first, jokingly saying, "Boss Meng, we don't care if you're a boss or not. We're not just here for dinner. You'd better be mentally prepared. We're here to check on Sister Fan. Whether you can get a permanent position depends on tonight."
Qiu Yingying took out the perfume from the box and sniffed it again and again, then said happily,
"It smells good. I'm a regular employee. I agree."
Qu Xiaoxiao looked at her speechlessly and said, "Can you be more ambitious? You've already betrayed me before I even started."
Meng Yanchen smiled and made a "please" gesture.
"Okay, then everyone can eat and observe first."
Meng Yanchen had just served a bowl of stewed bird's nest with matsutake mushrooms to Fan Shengmei, when he turned around and saw Bao Yifan serving Andy attentively.
"Master, your shrimp has been peeled for you, please try it."
Bao Yifan saw Meng Yanchen's inquiring eyes and said proudly,
"What are you looking at? Learn something, or the wife you have will fly away."
Andy was helpless, "You better restrain yourself."
Bao Yifan raised his eyebrows, "It's only natural for me to serve my wife."
Meng Yanchen laughed and didn't respond. He just reached out and tidied the hair around Fan Shengmei's ears.
“Wow—”
Qu Xiaoxiao immediately started to make noises, "Old Zhao, look at them!"
Zhao Qiping calmly drank a sip of red wine, "You want me to do this?"
Qu Xiaoxiao curled her lips and said, "Forget it, you can even peel all the shrimp meat off."
Zhao Qiping raised his chin while washing the soup.
"Please help me fill the bowl."
"What kind of soup are you drinking?"
Qu Xiaoxiao stood up with a wine glass in hand, "Everyone, tonight is the time for us to test our eldest brother-in-law. This is the only time. Everyone, those who have grievances should seek justice, and those who have vengeance should seek revenge."
She winked at Fan Shengmei and said, "Sister Fan, we're on the 22nd floor, so it's not too much for each of us to ask our brother-in-law a question, right?"
Meng Yanchen put down his napkin, pinched Fan Shengmei's fingertips, and took the initiative to say to Qu Xiaoxiao,
"It should be."
Qiu Yingying immediately raised her hand and said, "Then I'll do it, I'll go first."
She thought for a moment, "By the way, when did you get together?"
Meng Yanchen adjusted his glasses and without hesitation, he was confident.
"You guys go to the concert, and I pick her up that day."
Fan Shengmei suddenly froze, her eyes wide open, and she subconsciously turned her head to stare at him blankly.
“.......”
Meng Yanchen looked at her surprised expression and laughed angrily.
He looked at her lovingly with his chin in his hand.
"Isn't it that day?"
DIDI: My dear children, please remember to come to the dinner tomorrow. Mr. Meng, please don’t love me too much~
