Chapter 59 The swindler writes his own post-meeting report
Shang Chen relaxed his brow without showing any emotion, and took the paper from Wen Xi's hand. "You want to write too?"
Wenxi mumbled, "...It needs to be written."
Wenxi gave him another pen and moved his stool to the desk. She then sat down at her workstation and picked up a document to read.
The two sat facing each other.
Seeing this, Shang Chen fell into an eerie silence.
He recalled the words of advice that Assistant Wu had given him before he left.
"Mr. Shang has been away on business for a week. Why not take half a day off and spend some time with his wife?"
"The relationship between husband and wife needs time to cultivate and nurture."
"Mr. Shang, go to your wife's law firm to keep her company. First, you can learn about her work; second, as the saying goes, people who work hard are the most charming, and Mr. Shang can also see a different side of his wife."
So... why is it that now he's the one accompanying Wenxi to meetings and writing summaries?
Is this something a normal couple would do?
As soon as Wenxi sat down, she saw a message from Lehui on her computer.
What are you and your husband doing? Is your husband going to entrust you with a case?
[Sounds so serious, is there some big case involved?]
Wenxi subconsciously looked up and saw Lehui delivering documents outside the window, a puzzled expression on her face.
The glass in Wenxi's office is transparent, and from the outside, you can see the two people sitting opposite each other, each doing their own thing, both of them busier than the other.
Wenxi calmly withdrew her gaze and replied.
[Promoting legal knowledge.]
After a long pause, Le Hui replied with only one word.
[Absolutely amazing!]
Fifteen minutes later, Shang Chen finished writing the report, closed the pen cap, and stared at it for a moment with his eyes down.
"It's finished."
Wenxi: "Okay, give it to me."
She messaged Bai Wei before receiving the report from Shang Chen.
Just then, Bai Wei knocked on the door, and Wen Xi said, "Come in."
Bai Wei looked dejected. "Wen Lu, I've come to get the summary report."
"How can you write so fast? I'm almost bald from exhaustion."
"Other law firms don't have this kind of nonsense. It's just that Director Liu is so idle. He should take on more cases instead."
Wen Xi didn't even look up, handing Shang Chen's report to Bai Wei, "Submit it."
Bai Wei accepted it with both hands, "Okay."
Upon seeing the words on the paper, Bai Wei was taken aback. "Wen Lu, this isn't your handwriting, is it?"
Wenxi subconsciously looked up at Shang Chen, only to meet the man's deep, dark eyes.
Shang Chen's expression was composed, and his posture was upright and calm, as if he had seen through everything.
Wenxi felt guilty but remained calm on the surface. "Yes, your master wrote it for me."
"These characters are so beautiful! Your master must have practiced calligraphy!"
Shang Chen responded politely.
Bai Wei was a little excited: "So marriage isn't all bad after all? A husband can be used like this?"
Shang Chen: "..."
Wenxi: "Stop talking nonsense."
Bai Wei: "Ke Wenlu, if the director isn't blind, he'll definitely be able to tell that this wasn't written by you, right?"
"Then can you check if the director is blind?"
Bai Wei: "...Wen Lu, you're getting better and better at joking."
Bai Wei took Wenxi's summary report and left.
With no one else in the office, Wenxi spoke first: "Thank you, President Shang, for writing the report for me. I'll treat you to dinner later."
Even if Wenxi tricked her husband into writing a meeting report for her, her conscience would still hurt for a second.
She had to show some sincerity.
Shang Chen: "Three meals have been eaten."
Wenxi: "..."
Shang Chen no longer wanted to indulge Wen Xi, so he started to settle accounts with her.
He raised an eyebrow and repeated what Wenxi had just said: "The post-meeting summary should be submitted to Director Liu."
Wen Xi calmly replied, "Yes, it must be paid."
She just didn't make it clear that it was her who was going to pay, not Shang Chen.
Shang Chen: "You're going to write one too?"
Wenxi nodded: "I really do intend to write."
Meeting Shang Chen's overly reserved gaze, Wen Xi's voice was a little weak, and she added an explanation: "I saw you were writing, so I just decided to take a break..."
A smile flickered in Shang Chen's eyes. "Do you often fool people like this?"
Wenxi replied truthfully, "No, you are the second one."
Shang Chen stared at her with his dark, inky eyes.
Wenxi: "The first one is my brother."
Shang Chen then withdrew his gaze and imposing manner, his tone softening towards Shen Lian.
"I want to be paid for my trouble."
Wenxi: "Didn't I just owe you a meal?"
"The meal was an apology gift, and this is a reward for writing the report."
Wenxi suddenly understood.
So this is what capitalists are like.
No wonder Shang Chen can make money.
Having lost out to her opponent, she conceded defeat: "What kind of compensation do you want?"
"Wear a shirt at night."
The office fell into a deathly silence, as if everything had been paused.
Wenxi took a while to calm down and barely managed to maintain her composure: "Next time, could you please not say such inappropriate things in such a serious manner?"
After a moment's thought, Shang Chen said, "No."
Wenxi: "?"
This was the first time Shang Chen had rejected her.
Without hesitation.
Shang Chen: "I won't say anything inappropriate."
Wen Xi was speechless: "...That's true."
If Shang Chen really becomes unruly, Wen Xi will have to find someone to exorcise the evil spirit.
Wenxi raised her hand and glanced at her watch: "It's almost five o'clock, let's go."
"So early?"
Wenxi paused for a moment: "How about I leave first, and you stay and work overtime?"
Shang Chen stood up, his expression calm: "Give me the bag."
Wenxi then handed the bag to Shang Chen.
When Wenxi opened the door, she saw Bai Wei lingering at the door, her expression indescribable.
Upon seeing Wen Xi, his eyes lit up, and he leaned closer, saying, "Wen Lu, I was wrong."
Wenxi: "What's wrong?"
Bai Wei lowered her voice: "So Director Liu really is blind!"
Wenxi: "..."
"Director Liu just praised your summary report and said that he would use your report as a model at the next meeting and ask you to talk about your methods."
Wenxi turned her head and glanced at her honest husband.
Their eyes met, and Wenxi quickly looked away.
He's screwed himself over again.
We've lost a fortune.
Once inside the car, Wenxi rolled down the window and rested her arm on it. "Shang Chen, let's make a deal."
Shang Chen fastened the passenger seatbelt. "What's up?"
Assistant Wu drove his car away; he rode in Wenxi's car today.
"Could you not be so honest next time?"
Wenxi's eyes showed a hint of helplessness: "The meeting summary was written too well."
"Deduct one meal!"
Shang Chen frowned.
He wrote well, shouldn't Wenxi reward him?
Before Shang Chen could protest, Wen Xi added, "No dissenting opinions are allowed. This is your wife's order!"
Shang Chen: "...Okay."
He wasn't mistaken; beneath Wen Xi's calm exterior lay a touch of capriciousness.
The restaurant was booked in advance by Shang Chen; it was a Western restaurant.
As soon as he finished ordering, Shang Chen pushed a black velvet box forward with his long, slender fingers.
Wenxi looked at the palm-sized box and casually guessed, "Another bracelet?"
Shang Chen: "No."
Wenxi: "A bracelet? A ring?"
"Open it and take a look."
Wenxi opened it and glanced at it briefly.
It's a bracelet, the same style as the one she's wearing.
"It's just a bracelet?"
"I'll put it on you tonight."
Why at night?
Shang Chen hesitated for a moment: "Is it okay now?"
Wenxi: "Never mind, let's eat first and then wear it when we get back."
Wenxi, unsure of Shang Chen's true intentions, decided to proceed with caution.
What kind of hobby is Shang Chen? Giving her two bracelets of the same style?
