Chapter 96 Chen's boss might be him
In the design department before getting off work, intern Zhou Xiaomeng was like a peacock with its beautiful tail screen punctured. She was holding the latest mobile phone, pouting, and standing at the door of Vice President Zhang's office with an unhappy look on her face. Vice President Zhang's words just now, "You go back first today", were like a fine needle that pierced her sense of superiority that she had felt all day.
It was not until Vice President Zhang patiently added, "I'll take you to buy the jewelry set you liked last week this weekend," that the corners of her tense mouth reluctantly relaxed, but there was still reluctance in her eyes - why could she sit in the passenger seat so proudly yesterday, but have to walk alone in disgrace today?
The difference in treatment is too huge, it's like going directly from VIP to economy class without even a transition!
It's no wonder. Yesterday, she deliberately carried the limited edition bag that Vice President Zhang had just given her, and got into the black BMW under the gaze of all her colleagues. Her high-profile appearance almost engraved the words "relative" on her forehead, for fear that others would not know that she "has connections".
Today, in the company's tea room and corridors, there has been constant discussion about "Vice President Zhang's hidden tail". Even the cleaning lady who passed by would listen carefully.
Vice President Zhang felt very uneasy sitting in the office, feeling that every whisper was like a hidden weapon flying into the ears of his family. He could only temporarily suppress his indulgence of Zhou Xiaomeng and act cautiously.
Downstairs in the company, Si Yan had been leaning against the low-key Tesla and waiting for quite a while.
The golden light of the setting sun fell on the collar of his straight shirt, outlining the sharp lines of his profile, which attracted the female colleagues passing by to secretly look back.
"Tsk tsk, Su Nian, your Si Yan is really the 'ceiling of the husband world'!" Li Yue came close to Su Nian, smiled and pointed outside, "He comes to pick me up on time every day, rain or shine." Her eyes were full of "envy and jealousy without hatred."
Su Nian's cheeks flushed, and she ran outside with a smile. Even though it had been so long since they got the marriage certificate, every time she saw Si Yan, her heart would still beat faster, like a frantic deer.
When Si Yan saw her running towards him, a gentle smile instantly appeared in his eyes. He reached out and tidied up her hair that was messed up by the wind. His movements were natural and intimate.
This scene happened to be seen by Zhou Xiaomeng who walked out from behind. She squinted her eyes and looked at Si Yan. The more she looked, the more familiar he seemed to me - oh, it was the one she had seen when she went to Su Nian's school to move things last time!
She immediately started to think: Su Nian is a good girl. On the surface, she has such a handsome boyfriend who makes people unable to take their eyes off her. On the dark side, the company also has the heavyweight backer of the big boss Chen. Her skills are much better than hers.
But when she looked around again, her colleagues were either looking down at their phones or rushing to catch the subway. No one was talking about the intimacy between Su Nian and that man.
Zhou Xiaomeng curled her lips, feeling even more unbalanced. Why was she criticized for riding in a car, while no one cared when Su Nian was being affectionate with a man? Was it really because she was handsome that she automatically turned on the filter?
The air around seemed to be filled with a voice-over: You really have no self-awareness. You are just a mistress experience card. How can you be compared with the genuine official CP?
On the other side, Chen Ran did not park his car downstairs of Su Hong's house on time today as usual.
He sat in the car, looking at the messages on his phone that he had edited and deleted, and finally turned off the screen.
He understood Su Hong's personality too well. Although seemingly gentle, she was actually quite stubborn. He was afraid that his relentless confession these days had put pressure on her. It would be better to take a step back and give her some time to think things through, rather than letting her resist and push him further away.
When Su Hong returned home from get off work, the house was empty.
She went to the kitchen and cooked a bowl of plain noodles. The aroma of chopped green onions and sesame oil filled the house, but she lost her appetite after just two bites.
Chen Ran always comes these days, either bringing some fresh dishes or rolling up his sleeves to cook. The lively atmosphere of life has long diluted the loneliness of living alone.
Now that she had suddenly turned back into a human being, even the noodles seemed to have lost their taste. She simply pushed the bowl and chopsticks away and leaned back on the sofa in a daze.
The next morning, Su Hong walked into the tailor shop listlessly, and the dark circles at the corners of her eyes could not be hidden.
Ah Fen, who was ironing clothes, looked up and saw this. She paused and asked cautiously, "Sister Hong, what's wrong with you? Did something happen?"
Su Hong sighed. The entanglement that had been pent up in her heart for the past few days was like a tangled mess, and she was worried that she had no place to talk to.
She pulled over a chair next to her and sat down, pouring out everything from Chen Ran's sudden appearance, to his confession of his feelings for her for many years, to her own hesitation.
Especially when she heard that Chen Ran had been single all these years, even Afen was shocked and opened her mouth wide, and Su Hong herself sighed - these days, people's hearts change faster than turning pages of a book, and there are still people who can keep a relationship in their heart for more than 20 years.
"Sister Hong, let me speak from the bottom of my heart," Ah Fen put down the iron and looked at her seriously. "We've all seen how much hardship you've endured raising Nian Nian all these years. If Mr. Chen had known Nian Nian existed, he might not have let you leave at all. Now that he's found you, and he's made it so clear, what else could this be but fate? The three of you have formed a complete family, how wonderful! You're definitely going to get back together!"
Su Hong's fingertips twisted the corner of her clothes unconsciously. The tightly closed door in her heart seemed to be pushed open a crack by Afen's words. She said softly, "I'll think about it carefully..."
"What are you thinking about, sister!" Ah Fen slapped her thigh anxiously. "We've missed each other for over twenty years. The important thing is to reunite as soon as possible! By the way, what exactly does Mr. Chen do at the Chen Group? With her biological father working at the company, wouldn't Nian Nian have someone to look after her?"
As she was speaking, Ah Fen suddenly slapped her forehead, her eyes lighting up as if she had discovered a new world. "Hey, Sister Hong! Do you think the 'Chen' in Mr. Chen and the 'Chen' in the Chen Group are the same person?"
These words were like a thunderclap, exploding in Su Hong's mind with a "boom".
She suddenly remembered Chen Ran's big house, its decoration modest yet exquisite; the day she casually mentioned his mattress was comfortable, and he immediately sent her an extremely expensive mattress...
Putting these fragmented pieces together, an unthinkable thought popped up: So, it seems possible that he is the boss of Chen Group?
I have to ask my daughter tonight what the name of the boss of Chen Group is.
This melon is getting bigger and bigger the more I eat it.
During lunch break, gossip was at its peak in Chen's Design Department.
The people in Zhang Yue's group gathered together in a small circle, their voices were low, but every word was powerful:
"Hey, did you guys hear? Zhou Xiaomeng took the subway yesterday while carrying her new LV bag!"
"Is this true? Did he get dumped?"
"My guess is that Vice President Zhang's wife probably noticed them, and that's why they kept their distance!"
"So when can we see the main wife tearing apart the mistress?"
…
The discussion was like a stone thrown into a lake, spreading out in circles, causing several colleagues around to prick up their ears.
Zhang Yue's group has always been the main force of company gossip. As long as there is any movement, they will be able to dig up a series of exciting things.
