Shen Qiwen fell silent. Upon learning that Song Qingyou would be attending the class reunion that evening, he, who was never late or left early, left work an hour early to make it to the reunion.
He and Song Qingyou were classmates for more than two years. Shen Qiwen was almost smitten with this well-behaved and quiet girl at first sight. As they spent more time together, Shen Qiwen felt that they were a good match.
He and Song Qingyou often shared similar views on many medical issues, and Shen Qiwen once felt that the two had common goals and aspirations.
When Shen Qiwen confessed his feelings, he never expected that Song Qingyou would reject him.
Her initial explanation for rejecting him was: "I'm sorry, someone told me to wait for him to come back, so I think we might not be a good match."
Shen Qiwen was a sensible person. Since the other party had rejected him, he naturally didn't press the matter further and returned to his original position.
Over the years, he couldn't help but inquire about Song Qingyou. He heard that she got married, divorced, and later started dating the high-ranking CEO Fu. Then, he heard that she sent the entire Song family to prison on New Year's Eve.
Two days ago, Shen Qi learned from a friend that the young CEO Fu had successfully proposed to her. Shen Qi had heard of Fu Wenzhou's name before; he was a notorious madman in the capital.
He never expected that Song Qingyou would choose such a person.
After receiving Song Qingyou's affirmative answer, Shen Qiwen's eyes darkened, and after a long while, he whispered, "Could you pull some strings for me?"
"What?" Shen Qiwen changed the subject abruptly, and Song Qingyou was stunned, not understanding.
Shen Qiwen said, "Dingsheng's drug research department is hiring. I plan to resign and go to Dingsheng. I prefer being on the front line of research and development to theory. I know you are a director of Dingsheng, so could you give me a special opportunity?"
Song Qingyou was stunned for several seconds. How could a big shot like Shen Qiwen condescend to come to her pharmaceutical research department?
Even when she was setting up the pharmaceutical research department and poaching people from all over the place with a list of candidates, she never considered hiring Chen Qiwen.
This person actually asked for her peak performance himself.
Song Qingyou pondered for a moment. If Shen Qiwen could come to Dingsheng's pharmaceutical research department, then Dingsheng's current predicament would likely be resolved.
Song Qingyou couldn't hide her surprise, but still asked with some doubt, "If you wanted to work in R&D, many companies would be vying for you. Why did you come to Dingsheng?"
What Song Qingyou actually wanted to say was that if Shen Qiwen came to Dingsheng because of her, then Song Qingyou might not be able to bear that responsibility.
Fortunately, Shen Qiwen didn't say that. Instead, he said in a deep voice, "I have conducted research on four domestic pharmaceutical companies and seven foreign pharmaceutical companies. Dingsheng is currently the most promising company. Moreover, I want to stay in China to work and have no plans to go abroad. In addition, Dingsheng is also the only company in China that is dedicated to research and development. I need a platform like Dingsheng. Of course, I currently earn a million-dollar annual salary, and I hope Dingsheng can offer me the same amount."
Shen Qiwen's words were flawless and directly convinced Song Qingyou.
After a moment's thought, Song Qingyou nodded: "If you can come to Dingsheng, I would naturally welcome you with all my heart, but we still need to go through the proper procedures."
Shen Qiwen knew what she meant and said, "I know. I will resign this weekend and start work around next Tuesday. I will apply for a position at your company then."
Song Qingyou smiled and extended her hand: "Then I'll welcome you to the company in advance?"
Shen Qiwen stared at the beautiful hand in front of him for a moment, then quickly came back to his senses and shook it back: "Then should I start calling you President Song?"
Song Qingyou chuckled: "Don't joke with me."
"What are you two talking about here?" The class monitor, who had come over at some point, was flushed from drinking too much. He put his hand on Shen Qiwen's shoulder and said with a grin, "I felt something was off between you two back in school. Didn't you confess to Song Qingyou back then? So, after all these years, you're not still in love, are you?"
The class monitor, drunk, started talking nonsense. Song Qingyou and Shen Qiwen exchanged a glance. Shen Qiwen took off his glasses, rubbed his temples, and said helplessly, "It's just a small matter, but these people have been holding a grudge for years."
Song Qingyou: "It's been years since we last met, so we have to talk about some embarrassing things from the past, otherwise what's the fun in it?"
Shen Qiwen paused for a moment, then said, "I'm glad you don't mind."
Song Qingyou raised an eyebrow slightly: "There's nothing to mind, it's all in the past."
Shen Qiwen's voice was somewhat bitter: "Yes, it's all in the past."
Song Qingyou glanced at the time and changed the subject: "It's getting late, why don't we tell Yan Miao to call it a night? I think everyone's had a bit too much to drink."
Shen Qiwen nodded: "Okay, let's go in first."
Yan Miao stood on the sofa and sang Phoenix Legend's "All About Love" with the class beauty.
The two sang a duet, taking turns singing lines, and both looked like they had drunk quite a bit.
Seeing this scene, Song Qingyou felt a headache coming on. Everyone at the class reunion had drunk quite a bit, and surprisingly, only she and Shen Qiwen were sober.
Having no other option, she called Fu Bei, who was waiting outside, and asked him to call a few cars to take her away.
Fu Ben was efficient, and in no time, a long queue had formed at the hotel entrance.
Song Qingyou and Shen Qiwen made orderly arrangements, getting each of their former drunken classmates into the car one by one.
Yan Miao hiccuped from behind, then suddenly shouted, "If you don't love me, give me back my heart!"
Song Qingyou: "..."
Helpless, she stepped forward and put Yan Miao into her car. Watching the cars drive away one by one, Song Qingyou's forehead was covered in a thin layer of sweat, and a dark blue handkerchief appeared in front of her.
She paused for a moment, then looked up and said, "No need, thank you."
Shen Qiwen didn't say anything, but withdrew his outstretched hand and watched as Song Qingyou took out a handkerchief from her bag and carefully wiped the fine sweat from her forehead.
"Are you feeling better...?"
Upon hearing this, Song Qingyou chuckled and said, "Much better. My husband found me a very good doctor, and I am currently undergoing treatment. The results are quite good."
Shen Qiwen: "Okay, that's good."
Song Qingyou asked, "Then what about you?"
Shen Qiwen said, "I called a designated driver."
Song Qingyou nodded: "Then I'll take Yan Miao home first. Senior brother, please drive carefully."
"good."
Song Qingyou turned around to get into the car, but there was a step behind her. She missed a step and was about to fall when a tall figure suddenly appeared in front of her.
She was pulled back, her back hitting a hard chest.
"Song Qingyou!"
"Song Qingyou!"
Two voices sounded in my ear at the same time.
