Chapter 349 Talent
Chi Wenyan stared at her, the admiration in his eyes becoming more obvious, "You are making rapid progress, you have talent."
The two swam back to the shore, and Xia Guoguo couldn't wait to run over, "Sister Wan, you're amazing. It's incredible that you can persist for so long on your first day of surfing."
Sheng Yanjing also came over and handed towels to the two of them, "A wonderful game. Miss Ji, your performance is impressive."
Ji Wan wiped his hair and said with a smile: "Thank you, but it's still far from what Master Chi can do."
"Just call me Chi Wenyan." Chi Wenyan said lightly, taking the towel and wiping his wet hair.
The four of them walked towards the parasols on the beach together, and Ji Wan finally had the opportunity to take a closer look at Sheng Yanjing.
He was tall, his skin slightly reddened by the sun, and his eyes were free and unrestrained, in stark contrast to Chi Wenyan's calm and reserved demeanor.
"Why are you here?" Ji Wan asked curiously.
Sheng Yanjing said casually, "We come here to surf every month, and today happens to be our regular date. I didn't expect to run into you guys."
Ji Wan nodded and turned to Chi Wenyan, "Thank you for saving me just now, although I'm actually fine."
Chi Wenyan handed her a bottle of water and said, "It's always better to be careful."
Ji Wan took the water, a strange feeling welling up in her heart. Being with Chi Wenyan, she felt an unprecedented sense of ease and comfort, which was completely different from the tension and vigilance she had felt when she was with Chi Lin.
Under the sunlight, the sea surface sparkled. Ji Wan looked up at the azure sky, and the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously.
This unexpected competition brought her back the long-lost happiness and confidence. Even if she failed, she had no regrets, because she knew she had defeated her biggest enemy.
That is, one's own fears and limitations.
She no longer worries about tomorrow's client event.
The sea breeze blew away Ji Wan's fatigue. She dried her hair and looked at Chi Wenyan who was sorting his equipment beside her.
"Master Chi, I'll treat you to a meal if you lose the competition. I just happened to learn how to surf, so this is a way to thank you for your guidance." Ji Wan invited with a smile, his tone of voice carrying a rare sense of ease.
Chi Wenyan raised his eyes to look at her, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, "Okay, but don't call me Master Chi."
"What's his name? Brother Wen Yan?" Ji Wan teased him deliberately.
Chi Wenyan's eyes moved slightly, "It's up to you."
Sheng Yanjing interrupted with a playful smile, "What about me? I have contributed as well, I'm cheering you on from afar."
"You?" Ji Wan glanced at him, "People who join in the fun can also eat, so Xia Guoguo is one of them."
Xia Guoguo waved her hands quickly, "Sister Wan, I have to go back to the company to prepare the materials for tomorrow, you guys go ahead."
Ji Wan looked at his watch and said, "Then I'll go change my clothes and meet you at the Seaview Restaurant in an hour, okay?"
Chi Wenyan nodded and watched her and Xia Guoguo leave.
Sheng Yanjing came close to him, with a teasing glint in his eyes, "My sister-in-law is quite interesting."
"Shut up." Chi Wenyan said coldly, but his expression was not as serious as usual.
An hour later, in Nanhai Town's most prestigious seaview restaurant, Ji Wan changed into a light blue dress, her hair slightly curled, like a mermaid princess who had just walked out of the waves. Shortly after she sat down, she saw Chi Wenyan and Sheng Yanjing walk in.
To her surprise, there was another person following them.
This person is Fu Qichuan.
"Why is Mr. Fu here too?" Ji Wan asked in surprise.
Fu Qichuan was dressed in a casual suit, looking elegant and casual. "I heard that Manager Ji was going to treat us, and I happened to be nearby, so I shamelessly came."
Ji Wan smiled, "It's my honor that Mr. Fu is here."
The four of them had just sat down and ordered their food when a familiar figure appeared at the restaurant entrance.
It’s He Wanqing, Chi Wenyan’s ex-girlfriend.
She was wearing a white dress, looking pure and lovely. She immediately walked over when she saw Chi Wenyan.
The smile on He Wanqing's face was bright and charming.
"Wen Yan, what a coincidence."
Chi Wenyan frowned slightly, "Why are you here?"
He Wanqing pretended to be surprised and said, "I came here to have dinner with my friends. I didn't expect to meet you. My friend has something urgent to do, how about I join you?" Without waiting for others to answer, she pulled out a chair and sat down.
Ji Wan observed the scene silently. He Wanqing's arrival obviously made Chi Wenyan feel a little uncomfortable.
"Wen Yan, I've been wanting to talk to you since last night," He Wanqing whispered, just loud enough for the others to hear. "My period has been irregular this month, and the doctor said it might be due to my mood swings."
Chi Wenyan paused for a moment, a complex expression flashed across his eyes, but he quickly returned to normal, "Take care of yourself."
Ji Wan raised an eyebrow. That night? What night? What else had happened between these two? She turned to Fu Qichuan as if nothing had happened. "Mr. Fu, how are the preparations for tomorrow's event going?"
Fu Qichuan took a sip of red wine elegantly. "Everything has been arranged. We are just waiting for everyone to arrive. Speaking of which, Manager Ji is learning surfing today. Is it in preparation for tomorrow's event?"
"Yeah, I don't want to make a fool of myself in front of my clients." Ji Wan replied with a smile, and then started talking about the company's business direction and market strategy.
The two talked animatedly, bursting into happy laughter from time to time.
Shengyan Jing also joined the discussion, and the atmosphere was relaxed and lively.
Only Chi Wenyan sat quietly aside, looking at Ji Wan and Fu Qichuan from time to time, his eyes deep and unfathomable.
He Wanqing noticed Chi Wenyan's reaction and gently moved closer to him. "Wenyan, I've always wanted to learn from you and see the world. You know, I've always lived in a small circle and have seen too little."
"What do you want to do?" Chi Wenyan asked with a frown.
He Wanqing's eyes flashed with anticipation. "I won't disturb your work. I just want to observe and learn. Give me a chance, okay?"
Chi Wenyan glanced at her and nodded slightly, "Okay, but don't affect my work."
A joyful smile spread across He Wanqing's face. "Thank you, Wen Yan."
During the meal, Fu Qichuan and Ji Wan's topic gradually shifted from company business to personal experience. When talking about college, Fu Qichuan's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Wait, you're from Yu University? What's your major?"
Ji Wan nodded, "Department of Finance, Class of 2014."
"What a coincidence," Fu Qichuan said pleasantly. "I'm also from Yu University, but I graduated a few years earlier than you. Next month is Yu University's 80th anniversary. I'm a director of the alumni association, so I'd like to invite you to join us."
Ji Wan was obviously a little surprised. "Thank you for the invitation, Mr. Fu. I will consider it."
"You must come," Fu Qichuan said enthusiastically, "There will be many industry leaders at the school anniversary, which will be helpful to your career."
Chi Wenyan put down his wine glass and said in a low voice, "Mr. Fu cares a lot about Ji Wan."
