Shen Jiazhou had a subtle feeling in his heart. He lowered his head slightly and looked at the little pudding that just reached his knees, thinking about what to say when the pudding came over.
Say to him, "Hello, I'm your uncle?"
Just as Shen Jiazhou watched with a cold face as Xiao Miao walked over holding Can Can's hand, Xiao Miao glanced at her boss, then looked down at Can Can, and was about to introduce him as her boss.
This was arranged by Shen Jiazhou; don't tell Can Can about his background yet.
When she looked down, she saw that Cancan's eyes were red and swollen, and she was holding onto the seedling tightly.
Xiao Miao exclaimed in alarm, "Oh no, why is the baby crying?"
Shen Jiazhou was also a little surprised. Could it be that she recognized him? Did she feel that he had suffered so much injustice before and wanted to act cute?
Shen Jiazhou's expression softened, and just as he was about to speak, he heard Cancan reach out her hand to Xiao Miao: "Hug, Aunt Miaomiao, hug! Baby!"
Xiao Miao glanced at her boss, then picked him up. As soon as she picked him up, Can Can looked at Shen Jia Zhou and seemed to be secretly gesturing, but only for a second before her eyes filled with even more tears. Her little face was all wrinkled from crying, but she bit her lower lip tightly, not daring to cry out loud.
Shen Jiazhou frowned: "Why are you crying?"
Can Can seemed startled by him, and tried to keep her voice steady: "I miss Auntie..."
I want to find my aunt and beat up the bad guys, waaaaah!
The child's brainwaves don't match. Shen Jiazhou pursed his lips and said, "Take him with you."
Xiao Miao couldn't coax her anymore. She nodded, picked up Can Can, and quickly walked towards the tea room.
Shen Jiazhou watched as Cancan nestled on Xiao Miao's shoulder, her clear black and white eyes glancing at him several times before quickly hiding away whenever he looked over.
He thought his spying was flawless, but in reality, it was full of loopholes.
Shen Jiazhou felt somewhat helpless. He watched as Xiao Miao disappeared with the person in her arms before returning to his office.
As soon as he left, everyone in the president's office breathed a sigh of relief. President Shen was handsome, but he was also too scary. He could frighten a child to tears with just one glance!
Shen Jiazhou closed the office door and, for the first time, did not immediately return to his workstation. Instead, he went to the washroom and stood in front of the mirror looking at his face.
He examined his face carefully, but his doubts only grew stronger.
Is he really that scary?
That can't be right.

As soon as Cancan returned to the tea room, she couldn't wait to get down from Xiao Miao's arms and hide in Wen Shuqiao's embrace.
Wen Shuqiao looked at his tear-streaked face and wiped it with a tissue. Xiao Miao said, "I just saw one of our colleagues and suddenly started crying. I asked him, but he wouldn't say anything."
Wen Shuqiao looked at Cancan in her arms and asked, "What's wrong, baby? Why are you crying?"
Back in Wen Shuqiao's arms, Cancan calmed down considerably and said, "I saw a giant monster! It was so tall! I almost couldn't see Auntie anymore, sob sob sob."
The more Cancan talked, the sadder she became. She immediately buried her face in Wen Shuqiao's arms, looking as if she didn't want to face the world.
Xiao Miao didn't understand anything about giants and monsters, but Wen Shuqiao did.
She met Xiao Miao's questioning gaze and gave an apologetic smile: "He's fine. He probably mistook your tall colleague for a giant monster. I watched an animated film yesterday where there was a very tall monster that could flatten a building with one stomp."
Little Seedling understood.
This reason seems absurd to adults, but to children, it feels like the sky is falling.
Her boss is indeed very tall and works out regularly, making him stand out from the crowd of CEOs.
But what is it like to scare your nephew to tears because it's too tall?
She really wanted to ask the boss what he thought.
Xiao Miao quickly came to her senses: "I see. I'll talk to my colleague about it later, otherwise he probably won't be able to sleep tonight. The child cried just looking at him without even saying a word."
Wen Shuqiao comforted Can Can in her arms and said a few more words, which was rare for her: "Can Can is a little timid and easily frightened. I'm really sorry."
Xiao Miao said, "It's alright, we'll get to know each other better in the future. Mr. Wen, how's your review of the contract? Is there anything else we need to discuss?"
Wen Shuqiao picked up the contract: "I've read it, it's fine, let's sign it."
This contract is entirely in her favor; even Can Can had thought of it.
Wen Shuqiao's refusal to sign was rather ungrateful.
Xiao Miao secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She thought she would have to negotiate for a while longer, but she didn't expect the signing to go so smoothly.
Wen Shuqiao signed and pressed his fingerprint readily. Xiao Miao smiled and said, "I'll add you and the suppliers to a group later. They will give you the prices. You can also tell me what you need in the group. They basically have everything, and the prices are cheaper than outside."
Wen Shuqiao nodded: "Okay, thank you."
"You're welcome. Next time I come to buy, remember to pick out a bigger one for me," Xiao Miao said with a smile.
Wen Shuqiao nodded: "Definitely."
Xiao Miao then said, "It's already noon, why don't we have lunch together before going back?"
Wen Shuqiao refused: "I'm taking Canbao to buy some padded jackets this afternoon. The weather is getting colder and we should get some."
Xiao Miao didn't insist: "Okay, then remember to message me if anything comes up. We're kind of unconventional colleagues, right?"
Wen Shuqiao smiled and nodded, "Okay, definitely."
While they were talking, Can Can nestled in Wen Shu Qiao's arms. Wen Shu Qiao patted his back and said, "Say goodbye to Aunt Miao, we're going home."
