Chapter 37 Hostility
Shen Yi was dressed in a white shirt and black trousers, carrying a cross-body bag. He looked like a college student who had just entered society, with a clean and clear look in his eyes.
Lin You greeted him with a smile, "Are you just getting off work now?"
"Yeah." Shen Yi had a warm smile on his face, "There's a new project at the company these past two days, and I've been busy until this time every day."
Hearing this, Lin You smiled and reassured him, "It's not easy to just enter the workplace. You're still young, and this is the time to strive hard. Keep up the good work."
Hearing her encouragement, a light shone in Shen Yi's eyes.
"Well, I will work hard. I will try to buy a house in Jingang City this year."
Lin You was about to praise him for his ambition, but before he could open his mouth, Shi Jingyuan came back from his meal and took over the conversation.
"Is this your friend?" Shi Jingyuan asked calmly.
As soon as he spoke, Shen Yi also noticed his presence.
The two men looked at each other, both with polite and elegant smiles on their faces, but the scrutiny and observation in their eyes never stopped.
Shen Yi glanced at the watch on Shi Jingyuan's wrist, then quickly looked away.
"Senior, who is this?"
Lin You introduced the two, "This is my college junior, Shen Yi. This is me..."
She hesitated for a moment and said, "This is my leader, Mr. Shi."
lead……
A hint of mockery flashed in Shi Jingyuan's eyes, but he still smiled and shook hands with Shen Yi.
Shi Jingyuan: "Brother Shen, what do you do for a living?"
He followed Lin You in calling Shen Yi "junior brother", strangely creating a gap in closeness.
Shen Yi's mouth twitched, his eyes were calm, "I work in IT, just a programmer, very ordinary, unlike Mr. Shi, who is obviously not from the same class as us."
This seemed to be a polite remark, but when Shi Jingyuan heard it, he felt that there was something else behind his words.
Upon hearing this, Lin You's smile froze and his eyes dimmed.
Shi Jingyuan saw her reaction out of the corner of his eye and frowned unconsciously.
He reminded: "Brother Shen just got off work, so we won't delay him to go back and rest. Let's go back first."
Lin You restrained his expression and replied, "It's quite convenient to take a taxi here. I'll go back by myself. I won't bother Mr. Shi anymore."
Shi Jingyuan's face darkened in annoyance.
Lin You ignored it completely, said goodbye to Shen Yi, and then stood by the roadside to take a taxi.
It was not rush hour and there were many taxis. In less than a minute, a taxi stopped in front of her.
After she got in the car, she waved to the two men who were still standing on the side of the road.
After she left, the gentleness on Shi Jingyuan and Shen Yi's faces disappeared instantly.
Men can always easily sense threats between each other, especially two smart men.
Chen Yi tugged at the strap of his backpack and said nonchalantly, "Everyone's gone, what are you still looking at, Mr. Shi?"
Shi Jingyuan did not answer his question, nor did he give him any response.
An expression that said without Lin You, Shen Yi didn’t even have the qualifications to communicate with him.
Shi Jingyuan lit a cigarette and turned to walk towards the parking lot.
Seeing his arrogant look, Shen Yi sneered and said to him, "Mr. Shi, let's make a bet. You are not the type she would choose."
Shi Jingyuan paused without looking back.
His expression was shrouded in darkness, and he smoked much more frequently.
Shen Yi has an unreasonable confidence in Lin You's choice.
So where does this confidence come from?

The days returned to a brief period of peace.
Apart from receiving anonymous flowers every day, Lin You still lives a life of going to work, going home and back.
Her colleagues in the department knew that she received flowers every day, but since she didn't give any further explanation, they thought they were from her "boyfriend."
As for sending flowers, you’ve seen it so many times that you don’t take it seriously anymore.
Shi Jingyuan found some online jokes and sent them to Lin You every day as usual, but she didn't even reply to his messages and simply ignored him.
Shi Jingyuan has been in an unstable mood these past two days. Whenever his subordinates make a mistake, he will deal with it strictly.
He Xuan saw it all and felt worried, anxious for his boss who had never pursued a woman.
He made a cup of coffee for Shi Jingyuan, but stood in front of the desk and didn't leave.
Shi Jingyuan looked up and saw that he was hesitant to speak, so he said in a deep voice, "Just say whatever you want to say."
He Xuan took two deep breaths and spoke with courage.
"Boss Shi, what I'm trying to say is that no matter who you want to take down, you must know yourself and your enemy, and cater to their needs."
Shi Jingyuan was stunned for a moment, then sneered, "Lin You ignored me, are you laughing at me?"
He Xuan shook his head repeatedly, "No, no! I'm talking about the project that's currently being bid!"
He would be stupid to admit it!
Then, He Xuan said guiltily that he had forgotten to send out a report, and turned around and ran away.
Shi Jingyuan withdrew his gaze and murmured the words "know yourself and know your enemy" in a low voice.
"She looks so indifferent, what does she like?"
Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he actually thought of something.
He picked up his coat and left the office. When he passed by He Xuan's workstation, he told him to cancel his afternoon and evening plans.
He Xuan: "Mr. Shi, where are you going? Do you need a car?"
Shi Jingyuan didn't even turn around. "No need. I'll drive there. By the way, if it's nothing important, don't contact me."
He Xuan could only agree in confusion.

Lin You is considered a top-tier homebody. Since coming to Jinggang City, she has almost lived a life isolated from the world except for working during the day.
In the past two years, she has gone from a novice gamer to an advanced player. If she tells others about it, people who knew her before might not believe it.
After applying the mask, she opened the game and habitually glanced at her friend list.
After logging into this game through WeChat, your WeChat friends who are playing the game will be displayed.
"Huh?"
She saw Shen Yi was also online and patted him to say hello.
Soon, Shen Yi sent an invitation to form a team.
Lin You clicked to join the team.
Shen Yi’s cheerful voice rang out from the team chat: “Senior, I didn’t expect you to play this game too.
Lin You responded, not used to talking too much.
Shen Yi was enthusiastic, “Senior, I just played this game, can you play with me?”
Lin You hesitated for a moment. She was used to being alone and didn't want to socialize in the game.
Shen Yi seemed to sense her silence.
His voice suddenly became lost. "Senior, I just started playing this game. Because I don't know how to play, I get scolded by other players every day. I'm almost becoming autistic..."
Lin You: "Uh... I can play games, but I'm not used to using voice chat..."
“Then just play games and don’t talk,” Shen Yi said considerately.
The two of them started the game together, and Lin You discovered that Shen Yi's gaming skills were indeed not very good, but he got the hang of it very quickly. Boys are very talented in this area.
I had just played two games when a WeChat message came in.
Lin You took a look at the pop-up window and his face immediately lit up with joy.
The message was sent by Shi Jingyuan. It was a photo of a white kitten with the familiar bell on its neck.
