Chapter 258 Be more generous, don't be so petty...
"I suddenly had a craving for the food here. I didn't expect you two to be here too. Would it be convenient for us to share a table?" Shen Yan walked over, stood by their table, and asked calmly and politely.
"Of course it's convenient, Mr. Shen, please have a seat." How could Xia Shuqing dare to say it wasn't convenient? He raised his hand to indicate the seat next to him.
Shen Yan went and sat down next to the woman. Nan Wei glanced at him, displeased, but couldn't say anything. Why didn't he sit across from her?
Is it appropriate for him to sit so casually next to a female employee?
Besides, he already has a girlfriend...
Xia Shuqing was taken aback when she saw President Shen sitting on the sofa opposite her. Perhaps President Shen preferred to sit with his subordinates, as he would feel more comfortable there.
There's no need for me to overthink it.
He sat down, then beckoned the waiter over and ordered a few more dishes.
Shen Yan turned to look at the woman beside him and deliberately asked, "I heard from the bodyguard that you took the clothes you gave me and gave them to another man?"
"Cough cough..." Nan Weiwei, who had just taken a sip of water, choked in surprise and embarrassment. She pursed her lips. She had originally wanted to give the clothes to Xia Shuqing to gain favor, but now she was worried that she might offend someone.
That bastard—
"Who did you give the clothes to?" Shen Yan asked, enjoying her predicament.
Xia Shuqing, sitting opposite, was also embarrassed. Was that dress bought for President Shen? But why would she give it to herself?
"Ahem... Daisy gave it to me. If Mr. Shen wants it, I can give it to you later. I haven't worn it yet." He said awkwardly.
"So it was given to Director Xia. You can keep it then, no need to give it to me." Shen Yan leaned back in his chair, crossed his long legs, and said in a very generous tone.
Nan Weiwei turned her head and looked at him with a deep gaze, "You were the one who said you didn't want it anymore."
"But you're giving away things I don't want to others. That's incredibly disrespectful. No matter what, Director Xia is a senior leader in Ruifeng's finance department. If you're sincere about making friends with someone, you should at least show sincerity. To treat him like this, without any regard for him, is that a sign of looking down on him?"
Shen Yan looked at her with a gentle smile and asked, his words seemingly helping Xia Shuqing, but actually trying to sabotage the relationship between the two of them.
"..."
Nan Weiwei's face turned pale and then red from his words. She was already quite embarrassed, but now she was even more embarrassed. She glared at the bastard man with hatred, wishing she could pounce on him and bite him a few times!
He's deliberately trying to sabotage himself, isn't he?
"..." Xia Shuqing looked at Nan Xia, feeling a bit uneasy. She had thought Nan Xia had bought it for her on purpose, but it turned out to be something someone else didn't want and had given to her.
I should give it back to her after we finish eating; I'll feel too embarrassed to wear that dress again.
Seeing the resentment in her eyes, Shen Yan asked with a gentle smile, "Daisy, are you unhappy with what I just said? Be more magnanimous, don't be so petty. If you made a mistake, just correct it."
Nan Weiwei withdrew her gaze, ignored him, and looked at the man opposite her apologetically, "Director Xia, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to look down on you, I just thought that it was men's clothing, and I wouldn't have any use for it."
"Didn't you say you were going to take it back and wear it yourself?" Shen Yan suddenly interrupted and asked.
Nan Weiwei was absolutely furious with this man. Gritting her teeth, she couldn't help but kick him hard in the shin! Shen Yan groaned in pain, "Ugh..."
He stared at the woman in astonishment. How dare she kick him?
How dare a subordinate kick his boss?
Forget it, I won't argue with her.
Soon, the waiter brought out the dishes one by one. Every dish here was very spicy. Shen Yan felt a little creeped out looking at all the chilies in each dish.
He couldn't help but look at the woman beside him. How could she like spicy food?
Picking up her chopsticks, she placed a piece of stir-fried beef with chili peppers into her bowl and deliberately asked, "City A seems to be a city that doesn't like spicy food, and mainly eats light dishes. Why would Daisy like spicy food?"
Nan Weiwei frowned as she looked at the food he had put in her bowl. Who asked him to put food in her bowl?
"Mr. Shen, I can get it myself." As she spoke, she put the food back into his bowl, coldly replying to his earlier question: "Not every person in City A has the same taste. What's so strange about that?"
After saying that, she deliberately flattered the man opposite her in front of him, putting a piece of food on his plate and saying in a suddenly gentle tone, "This dish tastes good, Director Xia, please try it."
"Okay." Xia Shuqing nodded; he also liked spicy food.
Seeing her fawning over another man, Shen Yan felt inexplicably uncomfortable.
"Director Xia, are you free tomorrow? How about we take the kids to the amusement park? My son and I haven't been to an amusement park in this city yet." Nan Weiwei was angered by Shen Yan's earlier words, which implied that he had asked another man out in front of him.
"What a coincidence, Youyou told me last night that she wanted to go to the amusement park with Xiaoyan this weekend..." he said, "Tomorrow is Saturday."
"What a coincidence, see you tomorrow morning then," she said with a smile.
Shen Yan felt even more uncomfortable looking at her smiling so charmingly and speaking so gently, unlike how cold she was to him.
Why is she so cold to me?!
After leaving the restaurant, Xia Shuqing went to the car to get the two bags and handed them to her: "Daisy, you should give these clothes to President Chen. I have plenty of clothes, so you don't really need to give me anything."
Nan Weiwei could tell that he cared about this matter, so she took the bag and said, "I was sorry for not thinking it through, but I really didn't mean to look down on you."
He nodded and was about to tell her to get in his car and go back to the company when Shen Yan, who was standing next to him, suddenly spoke up: "Daisy, get in the car, I have something to talk to you about at work."
"Let's talk about it when we get back to the company," Nan Weiwei said, not wanting to ride in his car.
"I have a lot to do when I get back to the company," he said in a deep voice.
She glanced at the man, remained silent for a moment, then got into his car. Shen Yan sat inside, took out a cigarette from his pocket, and just as he put it in his mouth, Nan Weiwei said:
"Excuse me, I don't like the smell of smoke, and the car is too cramped."
Shen Yan turned to look at her, then put the cigarette back, and the bodyguard in front drove away.
"What tasks does President Shen need to assign?" she asked in a cool tone.
"I plan to hold a press conference tomorrow morning to let the domestic and international jewelry industry know that you have joined my company, and it will also help you increase your brand awareness in China," he said.
"Does it really have to be tomorrow morning?" Nan Weiwei asked, having already made an appointment with Xia Shuqing.
"I already notified all the major media outlets this morning. How can the time be changed?" Shen Yan asked coldly, lying. If he was uncomfortable with it, why should he let them go on a date?
Nan Weiwei didn't know what else to say, so she could only go to the amusement park at a different time.
"Also, don't forget to wait for me downstairs after get off work this afternoon and go buy me the clothes," he added.
She turned to look at him, raising an eyebrow slightly: "...I understand."
