Chapter 35 It seems his obsessive-compulsive disorder is a bit hard to change.
Director Huang glanced at Wen Xi and said, "This young man is not bad, much better than the one from the Lu family."
A hint of embarrassment flashed across Wen Xi's cool eyes. "He is indeed very good."
"As long as the relationship is good, that's all that matters."
Few people know about Wenxi and Lu Jinghuai's 'fake marriage'.
When Director Huang first heard that Wenxi was engaged, he was very happy and gave her a red envelope, and kept asking Wenxi when she would get married.
As it turned out, the man never appeared with Wenxi, so Director Huang had a pretty good idea of what was going on and never asked again.
It was only after listening to his words today that Wenxi realized that Director Huang didn't actually like Lu Jinghuai.
She asked out of curiosity.
Director Huang retorted bluntly, "Nonsense! Bai Wei has been engaged for two years, and the man has never shown up. Do you think he's a good person?"
Wenxi completed her university studies in two years with the help of Director Huang, who also wrote a letter of recommendation and advised her to pursue further studies in Germany.
Wenxi went directly to Zhongda after graduation, where he mentored her personally. Even after Wenxi had been practicing for five years, Director Huang was still sending her cases and helping her to further her studies in the industry.
He was both a teacher and a father to Wenxi, so he naturally cared a lot about Wenxi's important life events.
Wenxi chuckled awkwardly, "It's my fault. I should have arranged a time to formally invite you to dinner."
Director Huang gave a haughty snort.
Wenxi felt ashamed, but didn't know how to explain.
She and Shang Chen hastily registered their marriage back then, as they were completely unfamiliar with each other and each had their own lives.
Wenxi didn't want to drag Shang Chen along to invite Director Huang to dinner.
Even if Shang Chen were willing to go, Director Huang would probably know there was a problem just by looking at how the two of them interacted.
Wenxi: "It's his first time here, so I'll go and greet him."
Director Huang: "Go ahead."
"He came in person and even ordered late-night snacks for the law firm. I can't stop you from leaving."
Director Huang waved his hand: "Go back after you finish eating, anyway, you've almost finished your work for today."
Wen Xi: "Thank you for your kindness, Director."
"You little rascal..."
As soon as Wenxi stepped out of Director Huang's office, she was met with several pairs of curious eyes.
Bai Wei quietly approached, "Wen Lu, do you want me to come and help?"
Wen Xi: "...No need."
Bai Wei felt a little regretful.
She wanted to be the first to see her master's 'stunningly handsome face'.
I hope to surpass Lu Jinghuai!
Wenxi calmly walked towards the elevator.
She had just pressed the button when the elevator doors suddenly opened, revealing Shang Chen's deep and handsome face.
The man's refined and profound aura enveloped her.
Wenxi: "You arrived quite quickly."
Shang Chen carried a packing bag in his hand, his tone calm and familiar, showing no signs of unfamiliarity as a newcomer.
Are you hungry?
Wenxi: "I'm quite hungry. You've come at the perfect time. I was just about to have a midnight snack."
Shang Chen: "Is it convenient for me to come to your office?"
"It's convenient." Wen Xi reached out to take the bag from his hand, but Shang Chen dodged her: "You lead the way."
He wouldn't need his wife to carry something for him.
He added, "Assistant Wu is right behind us; his meal has arrived."
"Okay, I'll have someone pick it up later."
The administrative staff didn't work overtime that night. Wenxi took Shang Chen upstairs and saw Bai Wei passing by carrying documents.
Bai Wei stared blankly at Shang Chen, then instinctively exclaimed, "Wen Lu, this is... this is my master?!"
Master?
Upon hearing this address, Shang Chen raised a brow.
It's very special.
This was the first time he had been addressed like that.
Wenxi: "Okay, the food we ordered has arrived. Go pick them up and distribute it to everyone while you're at it."
"Okay!"
Bai Wei was very excited, but she felt that Shang Chen's aura was too oppressive, so she dared not show it.
Wen Xi also introduced Bai Wei to Shang Chen: "Bai Wei is my intern, and you could say she's my apprentice."
Shang Chen thought of the phrase "master" and reluctantly replied, "Not bad."
Wenxi gave him a curious look.
She rarely saw Shang Chen praise people.
He could tell Bai Wei was good after just one meeting?
Wen Xi first took Shang Chen to see Director Huang.
Director Huang stared at Shang Chen for a long time, then said, "The young man looks familiar."
Wenxi: "My husband, Shang Chen."
He then introduced Shang Chen: "This is my master, Director Huang."
Director Huang was startled and immediately remembered who Shang Chen was.
Heir to a prominent business family in Beijing, and current president of the Shang Group.
Shang Chen appeared humble and polite: "Greetings, Master. I am Shang Chen."
Wenxi glanced at him.
What did he call "Master"?
Director Huang suppressed his shock and said, "President Shang, I've long admired your name."
"Master, just call me Shang Chen. I'll need your help to take care of Xixi."
Director Huang smiled with satisfaction.
Upon entering Wenxi's office, Shang Chen subconsciously frowned.
The desk and floor were piled with documents, messy and disorganized. Some of the documents were stacked so high that they might fall on someone if you accidentally bumped into them.
Even managing such a large group as the Shang Group, Shang Chen had never seen so many documents piled up on his desk.
Are you able to get off work tonight?
Wenxi joked, "If I finish dealing with all this, I won't have to go off work this month; I can just live at the law firm."
"Let's sit on the sofa first. There's too much data in this case; we can't finish reviewing it in a short time."
Outside, Assistant Wu led a group of people upstairs and was distributing late-night snacks to everyone.
Shang Chen sat down on the sofa, opened the packaging box, and slowly placed the lunch boxes one by one on the table.
There are several Cantonese dishes, as well as a bowl of hot pork tripe and chicken soup, served with some chili sauce.
These are all foods that Wenxi loves to eat.
Wenxi smelled the aroma and his mouth watered.
Shang Chen poured her a bowl of soup and handed it to her. Wen Xi took it and looked up to meet Shang Chen's dark eyes: "You're just going to watch me eat, why don't you eat some too?"
Shang Chen: "Did it affect your appetite?"
"No, not at all."
It just feels weird.
The two weren't a couple deeply in love, where one could stare at the other all day.
She was eating a late-night snack, and Shang Chen was watching her intently from the side... Even though Wen Xi was usually calm, she felt a little uncomfortable.
Shang Chen: "Let me help you tidy up the documents, may I touch them?"
Wenxi: "Okay."
After eating about half full, Wen Xi chatted with Shang Chen for a few moments: "I had to stand you up tonight because of an unexpected incident on my end..."
Wenxi was trying to think of a way to make it up to Shang Chen when Shang Chen bluntly said, "I'll make it up to you next time."
Wenxi nodded: "Okay."
At the same time, Shang Chen added, "Two more times."
Wenxi: "..."
As expected of capitalists, they never suffer any loss.
Wenxi noticed that the closer she got to Shang Chen, the less polite he became to her.
Of course, she was equally unceremonious with him.
Wenxi: "Okay, I'll give you an apology gift later."
Although Shang Chen was a bit 'calculating', Wen Xi was somewhat 'indulgent' towards him because he brought her a late-night snack.
Shang Shen was tidying up the documents on Wen Xi's desk with his back to her.
The man is tall with long legs, broad shoulders and a narrow waist. He is meticulous in his work and quite... virtuous.
As Wenxi drank the soup, her stomach gradually warmed up, and she felt increasingly guilty.
In the entire capital, she was probably the only one who could see a sense of virtuousness in the president of the Shang Group.
After a while, Wenxi saw the documents arranged symmetrically and at the same height by Shang Chen and fell silent.
His obsessive-compulsive disorder seems a bit hard to change.
