Shen Jiazhou returned to his office with little interest. He couldn't concentrate on his work at all, so he went into the break room set up in the office, changed his clothes, and lay down. But he couldn't fall asleep no matter how much he tossed and turned. He then checked the surveillance footage and saw that Wen Shuqiao was taking a nap on the table, looking very uncomfortable.
After they got together, Shen Jiazhou dared not say that he was the best partner in the world, but Wen Shuqiao had never suffered such grievances!
He finally couldn't hold back, buried his head in the blanket, and let out a small scream.
When will he finally be able to go back? He misses his wife!
Let him go back! He can't sleep at all without Wen Shuqiao!!!
Shen Jiazhou tossed and turned on the bed in the break room all afternoon like a pancake. Finally, seeing that Wen Shuqiao had woken up, he got up and got back to his drudgery of work.
He never thought he had separation anxiety disorder, but this time he was indeed a little anxious. Whenever he felt anxious, he would check the monitor and then continue working, going back and forth like this until he got off work.
Assistant Lin came over to talk to Shen Jiazhou about the restaurant. The restaurant had been booked and was located right next to the company: "The entire publicity department will be attending. Not many people from other departments will be coming; most of them will have to work overtime."
Shen Jiazhou nodded: "Okay, I understand."
Assistant Lin asked, "Would it be alright if we assigned you to the publicity department?"
Shen Jiazhou raised an eyebrow at him, thinking to himself, "It's all Assistant Lin, so why is Lin Yan sometimes so slow-witted?"
He nodded: "Okay, you can arrange it."
Assistant Lin went to make the arrangements. Shen Jiazhou stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, gazing at the scenery below. He couldn't see anything different no matter how he looked at it.
A moment later, Assistant Lin came in again and said, "President Shen, the colleagues have all gone over, let's go over too."
Shen Jiazhou turned around: "Okay, let's go."
Autumn has arrived in the world, and the temperature is just right, neither too hot nor too cold.
Assistant Lin drove Shen Jiazhou to the store entrance first, and then went to find a parking space. Shen Jiazhou had just raised his eyes to look at the store name, but his peripheral vision caught sight of that familiar figure first.
Wen Shuqiao still stayed with her colleagues who ate lunch together. In their words, they were partners, eating partners and working partners.
Shen Jiazhou's gaze softened a bit. He had initially wanted to find a reason to get to know Wen Shuqiao, but after being overwhelmed by the spiciness at lunch, he realized that his sudden appearance might cause her trouble.
Sigh, she definitely won't like it.
On the surface, they were very respectful, but in their hearts, they wanted to throw him over their shoulders until he was dizzy.
Assistant Lin quickly parked the car and came over. He also saw his colleagues walking over and called out to them.
The others also came over and greeted Shen Jiazhou.
Wen Shuqiao naturally followed suit and greeted President Shen.
So cute (●'?'●), it's such a wonderful experience to see my young wife up close like this.
However, Shen Jiazhou was a master of pretense. He was secretly overjoyed, but his expression remained largely unchanged. He nodded slightly and said, "Go in."
Although it was a last-minute reservation, we still managed to get a large private room. Some of the dishes on the table had already been served, and dinner was scheduled for 6:30 pm sharp.
Shen Jiazhou and his assistant Lin sat at a table with the publicity department. The table was large, and some other junior executives were also seated there.
At the start of the meal, tea was served instead of alcohol, and I was toasted by everyone.
Shen Jiazhou had initially tried to appear less fierce, but in the end he couldn't help but say, "You're here to eat, not to watch me drink tea."
He's so full from drinking water.
After Shen Jiazhou finished speaking, everyone fell silent for a moment. Shen Jiazhou also realized what was happening. He secretly looked at Wen Shuqiao sitting on the opposite side, but she didn't react.
My heart quietly settled down; I guess I didn't scare her.
Assistant Lin also stepped in to smooth things over: "Yes, yes, today President Shen paid for it himself, so it's not considered a business dinner. Everyone can just have a meal."
Only then did the others pick up their chopsticks.
Wen Shuqiao had already eaten at this restaurant with her friends. She probably wouldn't have set foot in such a place if the company hadn't paid for it, mainly because it's expensive.
But there's a reason it's expensive; it really is quite delicious. And most of it is spicy, which suits Wen Shuqiao's taste perfectly. She and her partner are both interns, and they don't get to talk to the boss about "projects" yet, so they ate a lot in silence.
Shen Jiazhou watched Wen Shuqiao eat, and it looked like a cute little hamster.
Assistant Lin finally realized who Shen Jiazhou was looking at. He looked at the intern with a puzzled expression. He recognized the intern; she was a junior from his school, and his name seemed to be Wen Shuqiao.
Why is President Shen interested in her?
Assistant Lin took a sip of water and glanced quickly at Shen Jiazhou, who was already eating without changing his expression, as if nothing had happened.
Hmm? Could it be that he just misread it?
Assistant Lin glanced at Wen Shuqiao again. Wen Shuqiao was contemplating whether or not to eat the sweet pastry in front of her when she met Assistant Lin's gaze.
After thinking for three seconds, he smiled politely, then quickly picked up the sweet pastry and lowered his head to eat his rice.
Shen Jiazhou happened to see this scene. He turned his head slightly to look at Assistant Lin, feeling a little annoyed.
His wife hasn't even smiled at him yet!
Assistant Lin felt a chill run down his spine, but he didn't think much of it and continued eating with his head down. To be honest, the food was really good.
The meal was enjoyed by both hosts and guests, and afterwards, just as Assistant Lin had said, everyone went home.
Wen Shuqiao's rented house was a bit far away. After she finished eating, she said goodbye to her partner and went to the bus stop. She had only been waiting for a short while when a bus stopped in front of her.
