Chapter 254 The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. Why should she make him wait?
During the meal, Xia Shuqing took good care of her, serving her food. The two also drank some wine, and they could call a designated driver later.
After dinner, Nan Weiwei went directly to the movie theater with them. When Shen Yan came out of the restaurant's restroom, he saw that they had already left.
Has she already gone to that men's clothing store?
Shen Yan went there, but didn't see her! Did she really go to the movies with that CFO? What employee is as clueless as her?
Not even giving the boss face?
He walked out of the store, took out his phone and called his assistant. After the call connected, he asked in a deep voice, "Is there any work in the finance department that needs to be done now?"
The assistant was completely baffled by the question. "There shouldn't be any more. They usually don't work overtime and can finish their work within the regular working hours."
The finance department is the most relaxed; it's only a bit busy at the beginning and end of the month, otherwise it's very easy.
"Then let's find something for Xia Shuqing to do," Shen Yan said in a deep voice, one hand in his pocket.
"Huh?" Give Director Xia something to do? What did Director Xia do to offend the president? What kind of work could they possibly give him?
"Let me think..."
"Think about it as soon as possible." He hung up the phone, got into the car, and the bodyguard driving in the front asked, "Is Young Master Shen going back to his apartment?"
"I'm not going back." He uttered the two words in a deep voice, took out a cigarette in frustration, put one in his mouth, lit it with a click, took a deep drag, and exhaled a thick cloud of smoke.
He stared intently out the car window, wondering why he was so interested in this woman he barely knew.
Even he himself found it incredible; he felt a sense of familiarity with her, yet he didn't actually know her.
"When will we be able to find out about that woman's background?" he suddenly asked the bodyguard.
"Our people just boarded the plane to Paris today, so it probably won't be that soon..."
Shen Yan frowned slightly. His phone suddenly rang. He picked it up and glanced at it. It was his mother. He answered, "Hello..."
"Ayan, how are things going with Xiaoxiao? I think she's a very innocent girl, obedient and easy to manage. You won't have to worry about her after you get married." Madam Shen just wanted to find an obedient wife for her son.
"What would I need an obedient and easy-to-manage person for? To raise as a pig?" Shen Yan leaned back in his chair with his long legs crossed, asking in a deep voice.
"What are you saying? Do you have to find someone who is disobedient and goes against you? How can such a marriage last?" Madam Shen asked angrily.
"Mom, please stop interfering with me. I don't want to get married right now." He rubbed his temples with the hand holding the cigarette. It wasn't that he necessarily wanted to find someone disobedient; he just wanted to find someone he liked.
"You're thirty-two years old, and you don't even have a girlfriend, let alone a wife! And they don't even care about you! Other people's kids are already several years old! When will I ever get to hold my grandchildren?"
"Do you want the Shen family line to end?" she asked angrily.
"Then why don't you adopt a child and raise him as your grandson?" Shen Yan suggested to her.
Madam Shen was almost furious with him. He wasn't a member of the Shen family by blood, yet he wanted to inherit the Shen family's assets.
Since this kid is disobedient, I'll have to use some tricks on him. My husband's birthday is in a few days, and there will be a party. If I put a little 'ingredient' in his drink, Tang Xiaoxiao will definitely get pregnant if she's willing to try!
He'll have to take responsibility whether he wants to or not.
"How about this, you and Tang Xiaoxiao try dating for three months. If you still don't like her after three months, I won't force you."
She hung up the phone as soon as she finished speaking, not giving her son a chance to argue.
Shen Yan stared at the disconnected phone, feeling irritated, and took another deep drag of his cigarette—
At the movie theater, Xia Shuqing bought two buckets of popcorn. He and Nan Weiwei and their son had just entered the screening room when his phone rang. He answered it and asked quietly:
"Hello, Assistant Zhang, what's up?"
"Um, Chairman Shen wants to check last month's report. Could you go and get it right away?" Assistant Zhang came up with an excuse to call him.
"It's not the end of the month yet, so we can't compile the statistics." Why does Chairman Shen suddenly want to see this month's reports? He always looks at them at the beginning of the month.
It's only the middle of the month.
"Then let's compile the statistics for the first half of the month. Hurry back to the group and work overtime to do it. Call me when you're done, and I'll send it to Chairman Shen." Assistant Zhang hung up the phone after saying that, afraid that the man would ask too many questions and give away the truth.
Xia Shuqing frowned. He had to go back and do the task assigned by Chairman Shen. He said to the woman beside him, feeling embarrassed, "I have to go back to the company to work overtime. Why don't you spend some time with the two kids?"
"Okay, go ahead." Nan Weiwei had overheard his phone call earlier.
Not long after he left, Nan Weiwei's phone rang. She glanced at it and saw it was Shen Yan again. Not only did she not answer, she also turned off her phone!
It's after get off work hours, why are you making calls?
She ate popcorn while watching Nezha 2 with her two children—the popcorn in the movie theater was so delicious, the more you ate, the more addictive it became.
Shen Yan was stunned when the phone suddenly went off after only two rings!
Did that woman deliberately turn off her phone?
Being repeatedly humiliated and ignored by his subordinates is really making him unhappy! Who is the real boss here?
Even if she's famous, shouldn't I still have to pay her a salary? Does she have to be so arrogant?
It seemed they weren't coming to change his clothes today. Somewhat annoyed, he called to the bodyguard, "Back to the apartment!"
"...Yes." The bodyguard glanced at the angry young master in the rearview mirror, didn't dare to breathe, and quickly started the car and drove back to the apartment.
More than half an hour later, the car stopped downstairs at the apartment building, but Shen Yan didn't get out. He didn't believe that woman wouldn't go home.
I waited here for more than two hours. My butt was sore from sitting in the car. So I got out of the car and stood by the door, smoking one cigarette after another.
He was getting very impatient.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she got... Why should she make her wait?
Suddenly, he saw the car he had assigned to her drive up and stop behind him. Nan Weiwei saw him and calmly got out of the car with her son.
Considering he was now her boss, she asked indifferently, "It's past nine o'clock at night, why is Mr. Chen smoking here?"
Hearing her cold and aloof tone, Shen Yan felt inexplicably uncomfortable. She didn't talk to that financial director like that.
“Go and change your clothes with me,” he said in a deep voice.
"You haven't changed it yet? I've already sent you the address, and you have the clothes. Why don't you just go and change it yourself?" she said unhappily.
"Get in the car." He didn't bother with any more words, giving her a cold look that made it clear she wouldn't be able to go home to sleep if she didn't get a new car for him tonight.
Nan Wei was secretly annoyed. Was this man really this pretentious? How come she hadn't noticed before?
After staring at him for several seconds, she gave in, "I'll take my son home first, then I'll come down later."
"Just have my bodyguard take it up. Get in the car." Shen Yan said in a deep voice, not believing her, and opened the passenger door. Xiao Yan looked at her scumbag father and pouted.
Strange, why is he so clingy to Mommy? Could it be that he's sensed something?
