Shen Jiazhou worked and pondered at the same time, but he was still unable to find the answer.
If I can't figure it out, I'll stare blankly at Wen Shuqiao on the monitor, then come back to work, and then stare blankly again.
He had already started his honeymoon, but in the end, he was back to square one.
With children at home, Shen Jiazhou's temper has been worn down time and again, and all his sharp edges have been smoothed out. But now, he really wants to give this speechless system a rather inelegant gesture: Can't you be a little more stable?
The morning passed quickly. Shen Jiazhou stretched his stiff neck, and just then, Assistant Lin knocked on the door.
Shen Jiazhou turned off the mobile phone monitoring without changing his expression.
Assistant Lin asked, "Mr. Shen, would you like your meal delivered to your door as usual today, or would you like to eat in the cafeteria?"
Shen Jiazhou just wanted to be alone for a while, but when he thought of Wen Shuqiao, he changed his mind and said, "Let's go to the cafeteria."
He stood up, slowly rolled up his sleeves, and asked, "How long have these interns been interning?"
Actually, it was all in the documents sent. Assistant Lin didn't know why Shen Jiazhou asked that, but she still dutifully replied, "Some of them joined last month, and some joined at the beginning of this month."
Wen Shuqiao joined the company in the middle of last month. The internship here is one month long, and she will soon be promoted to a full-time employee.
Shen Jiazhou said, "Okay, let's book a restaurant for dinner tonight and notify all departments so we can have dinner together."
Assistant Lin looked at Shen Jiazhou with a puzzled expression: "President Shen, what's going on?"
"Let's have a team building event, and invite the interns too," Shen Jiazhou said. "Just pay for it."
He walked towards the door, thought for a moment, and then said, "Let's book a nice place. We don't need to save money. Colleagues from other departments, except the publicity department, can come if they want, and we won't force them if they don't want to."
Assistant Lin exclaimed "Ah!" and when Shen Jiazhou looked over, he quickly added, "Okay, Mr. Shen, I'll talk to HR and get the attendance tallied. Are you attending tonight?"
"Attend," Shen Jiazhou thought to himself. If he didn't attend, where would he see his wife?
Don't be fooled by his calm demeanor; he's actually been gone for a while now.
Having enjoyed the happiness of a loving family, Shen Jiazhou had no desire to suffer the loneliness of being all alone.
Assistant Lin watched Shen Jiazhou walk out, scratched his hair, and felt that President Shen was acting strangely today, but he couldn't quite put his finger on why.
Shen Jiazhou and his assistant Lin went to the cafeteria together. The cafeteria was free, with a meal allowance of 100 yuan per person per day. Shen Jiazhou glanced at the dishes and thought they were pretty good. At least Wen Shuqiao could eat her fill with balanced nutrition.
At this time, there were only some senior executives in the cafeteria. Everyone was as uncomfortable as mice seeing a cat when they saw Shen Jiazhou, but fortunately, Shen Jiazhou ignored them.
Assistant Lin got him a meal and found a corner near the door to sit down. Shen Jiazhou glanced at the time; it was still a few minutes until midnight.
He ate slowly, and Assistant Lin asked, "Mr. Shen, is it not to your liking? Shall I get you another serving?"
Shen Jiazhou said in a muffled voice, "No need."
He was just wondering why Wen Shuqiao hadn't arrived yet.
He didn't know how long he had waited before he finally saw a familiar figure, Wen Shuqiao, chatting with her colleagues as she walked in.
Shen Jiazhou's eyes lit up for a moment, and he subconsciously wanted to follow, but then he seemed to remember something and used his strong willpower to sit firmly on the stool.
Wen Shuqiao was unaware that anyone was watching her as she got her food with her colleagues.
The company cafeteria serves excellent food, providing breakfast and lunch, but most importantly, it's free, which saves you a lot of money over the course of a month.
Wen Shuqiao especially loves the Sichuan-style chicken served in the cafeteria. Her colleagues told her that the chef is from the Sichuan-Chongqing region and that it tastes amazing.
Shen Jiazhou saw that Wen Shuqiao had picked up two spoonfuls of Sichuan-style chicken and knew that she liked it.
He said, "Go get me a serving of that Sichuan-style chicken."
Assistant Lin gave a bewildered "oh" and reminded him, "President Shen, that's spicy food."
He'd been Shen Jiazhou's assistant for quite a while, and he'd never seen his boss eat spicy food.
Shen Jiazhou hummed in agreement: "I know."
Assistant Lin went over and brought over a small portion. The chicken was coated with a layer of red oil, and sprinkled with sesame seeds and chopped green onions, making it look very appetizing.
Shen Jiazhou kept glancing at Wen Shuqiao, who was standing nearby, right in his line of sight.
At this time, Wen Shuqiao was still somewhat green and naive; she was definitely his wife who had just graduated from university.
Shen Jiazhou couldn't help but smile, which made up for his regret of never having seen Wen Shuqiao's old photos.
After all, all he could see were photos of "Su Shuqiao," except that his wife's head had been replaced with hers.
He looked away, picked up the Sichuan-style chicken with his chopsticks, and put it in his mouth.
Spicy spicy spicy—
What's going on?! His tolerance for spicy food is already incredibly high! How come he can't even handle this little bit of spice?!
Perhaps his expression was too shocked, because Assistant Lin was stunned for a moment before realizing what was happening and quickly poured him a glass of lemon water to relieve the spiciness.
Shen Jiazhou quickly recovered from his shock and slowly drank the lemon water. Although it was spicy, it actually helped him think things through.
He inexplicably ended up in Wen Shuqiao's former world. He will probably travel back to it eventually. When Wen Shuqiao discovers he's missing, she will definitely look for him, and then the system will take him back.
He guessed that, like Can Can that day, he was swept into the torrent of time and accidentally came here.
In this world, Wen Shuqiao is just an ordinary person, probably not even at the point where she transmigrated.
If he acts rashly, what if Wen Shuqiao has to wait a long time to travel through time? If he leaves, and Zhen Shen returns to this world, it will also be troublesome for Wen Shuqiao.
Shen Jiazhou put down his cup, his gaze passing through the crowd and landing on Wen Shuqiao.
She was chatting with her colleague at the moment, and I don't know what she said, but her eyes curved into a shy smile.
Wen Shuqiao once said that her presence is not strong because she knew from a very young age that she had to protect herself. So most of the time she tries to minimize her presence and make sure that bad things don't find her.
Shen Jiazhou glanced at her face and wrists; she was so thin. She seemed even thinner than when they first met.
Although Wen Shuqiao is still slender, she has gained some weight and is soft to hug. He wants to hold her whenever he has nothing to do.
Assistant Lin finally couldn't resist turning his head to look. He was really curious about who President Shen was looking at.
However, Shen Jiazhou didn't give him a chance at all. He said, "Let's go, it's lunch break."
Assistant Lin quickly said "Oh," and Shen Jiazhou had already gotten up to leave.
Although he knew that Wen Shuqiao was not his wife, Shen Jiazhou couldn't help himself. His body's instincts were faster than his brain's, and his eyes quickly looked at where Wen Shuqiao was.
After mentally screaming "Wife!" several times, he finally left with a sullen face and reluctance.
