Chapter 36 Just Choose What You Like
Jiang Tingwan looked at him and couldn't help asking.
"If that's the case, why didn't you come and talk to me then?"
Shen Guan chuckled, a hint of helplessness flashing in his eyes.
"At that time, the internal struggle of the Shen family had not yet ended, and Shen Nianzhi was in danger in the country. I couldn't cause trouble."
Speaking of Shen Nianzhi, Jiang Tingwan hesitated for a moment.
"What happened to your brother?"
Shen Guan turned and looked out the window, his expression calm: "He is abroad and is living a very easy life now."
The sunlight outlined the profile of his face.
"Someone set him up for a car accident, broke his leg, and he could never stand up again."
Jiang Tingwan's breathing paused.
"I was originally depressed,"
Chen Guan suddenly laughed, "In the end, he met a girl who insisted that he looked so handsome in a wheelchair, and she pestered him to stay with her."
"ah?"
Jiang Tingwan raised her eyebrows. This ending was completely beyond her expectations.
"So it's because of this that Shen's ended up in your hands?"
She thought that the brothers had turned against each other and were fighting to the death.
Shen Guan looked back at her with a teasing look in his eyes.
"Why, Miss Jiang, do you think I'm the kind of ruthless person who would go to great lengths to seize power from my own brother?"
Jiang Tingwan touched her nose and turned her face away. She really thought so.
"So your brother is very happy with that girl now?"
"Hmm." Shen Guan's voice softened.
Jiang Tingwan suddenly felt that fate was truly wonderful.
Three years ago she met Shen Guan.
Shen Nianzhi met the girl.
-------------------------------------------
Jiang Shixu's office is cold and almost harsh.
In the minimalist tones of black, white and gray, the only bright color is a silver vase, which doesn't even have flowers in it.
Jiang Tingwan and Ruan Yue sat in the dining area. The macarons and black tea bought by the assistant looked particularly bright on the pure black table.
"Which department do you want to go to?" Jiang Tingwan stirred the black tea.
"Can...can you follow your sister?" Ruan Yue looked at her and whispered.
Jiang Tingwan paused slightly.
Ruan Yue must be a little nervous and wants to be with her for support.
However, it was not a good idea to let the newly adopted second young lady of the Jiang family work under him.
Even if this is the case, it would be more appropriate to let Jiang Shixu make the decision.
"Let's wait until my brother comes."
Jiang Tingwan said softly.
The office door was suddenly pushed open, and Jiang Shixu walked in with a cold aura.
The well-tailored suit outlines broad shoulders and a narrow waist, and the tie is tied meticulously.
"Why are you here?" he asked, looking over the desserts on the table.
Jiang Tingwan noticed the fatigue between his brows. This workaholic probably just came out of a long meeting.
"Bring Ruan Yue to have a look."
She mentioned her resignation lightly, "Her internship at Shen's is over."
Jiang Shixu took out a folder labeled "Senbo Hotel" from the filing cabinet and handed it to her. Jiang Tingwan took it and turned to look at Ruan Yue.
Ruan Yue suddenly plucked up the courage and asked, "Can I be in the same department as my sister?"
The air froze for a moment.
Jiang Shixu's eyes moved between the two of them.
He originally wanted to arrange for Ruan Yue to intern in the operations department, after all, she had not graduated yet.
But if he were to work in the same department as Jiang Tingwan, and he were just an intern, if word got out that the Jiang family was coldly treating their newly returned daughter.
"Operations team leader." He thought for a moment and decided.
"It's too high!" Ruan Yue waved his hands in panic.
"I'm still an intern..."
She looked at Jiang Tingwan as if asking for help, her eyes filled with "I just need to follow you."
She just returned to the Jiang family and might not understand this yet.
Jiang Tingwan looked at her and softened her heart.
Well, she has been bound by rules for so many years, so don’t let Ruan Yue be bound by them too.
"It would be good if you could familiarize yourself with the business here first."
Jiang Shixu watched their little movements, sighed imperceptibly, and turned to look at the assistant next to him.
"Go to the Human Resources Department to handle the formalities."
Ruan Yue's eyes lit up when she heard the arrangement, but when she caught a glimpse of Jiang Shixu's stern profile, she immediately restrained her excitement. She only dared to quietly tug at Jiang Tingwan's sleeve, with excitement flashing in her eyes.
Jiang Tingwan smiled and rubbed the top of her head, like comforting a kitten that had received a snack.
"Tell the secretary what you need."
Jiang Shixu closed the file and spoke calmly.
Jiang Tingwan looked around, smiled and said, "I need a flower."
Jiang Shixu raised his eyes, with a rare look of confusion in his eyes.
"My brother's office,"
She tapped the solitary silver vase with her fingertips. "Even the vase is empty."
Ruan Yue nodded like a chick pecking at rice, and even the secretary who was standing with his hands hanging down couldn't help but smile.
Jiang Shixu was silent for a moment, his eyes swept across the three people, and finally stopped on his sister's smiling face.
"boring."
He lowered his head and continued to review the documents.
-------------------------------------------
The sun is setting.
Jiang Tingwan and Ruan Yue lay on the sofa, looking through the hotel information, occasionally explaining in a low voice.
Jiang Shixu's pen made a rustling sound on the paper, and the secretary consciously walked lightly when entering and leaving.
When dusk came in through the floor-to-ceiling windows, Jiang Tingwan realized that they had spent the entire afternoon together in such silence.
Ruan Yue had fallen asleep leaning on her shoulder, with a corner of the document still clutched in his hand.
Jiang Shixu was still looking at the documents, like a tireless robot.
Jiang Tingwan stared at Ruan Yue's sleeping profile, and gently tucked her scattered hair behind her ears with his fingertips.
The girl rubbed her shoulder unconsciously, like a kitten relying on its owner.
"Did it wake you up?"
Ruan Yue shook her head, rubbed her eyes and sat up straight, only to find that it was already dusk outside the window.
"Are you hungry? Do you want to go eat?" Jiang Tingwan asked softly.
Ruan Yue nodded.
Jiang Tingwan looked at Jiang Shixu who was still working, walked over and spoke softly.
"Brother, do you want to have dinner together?"
Jiang Shixu didn't even raise his head: "It's not finished yet."
"Stop looking and eat first, brother."
Jiang Tingwan thought that this person was always like this, he would get mad and forget about everything when he started working...
Ruan Yue muttered quietly to the side.
"Do I really have to be the bossy male protagonist with stomach problems in novels?..."
This is quite consistent, Jiang Tingwan chuckled.
Jiang Shixu frowned, obviously not understanding their teasing.
She simply tugged at the corner of his clothes.
"Let's go, brother. It won't take long anyway."
Jiang Shixu then closed the file, stood up and asked, "What do you want to eat?"
Jiang Tingwan looked at Ruan Yue, and Ruan Yue's eyes sparkled: "I want to eat noodles."
"Then let's go to Sanjiang Banquet House."
-------------------------------------------
The moment you step into the restaurant, it feels like you have traveled back to an ancient aristocratic family mansion.
Ruan Yue opened her eyes wide unconsciously.
Vermilion beams and pillars stand tall, and the carved beams and painted buildings are full of luxury. Each dining table is made of fine mahogany and matched with brocade cushions. Beside each table, there are beautiful waitresses wearing cheongsam.
On the ceiling, hundreds of palace lanterns cast a warm yellow glow.
In the antique atmosphere, top-notch service and ultimate luxury are displayed.
Seeing Jiang Shixu, the general manager hurriedly came forward and respectfully led them into the VIP room.
The private room faces the river, and outside the window is a brilliant night view with thousands of lights reflected on the river.
Three waiters in cheongsams stood quietly by. In the corner, a musician played the pipa, and the melodious tunes added a touch of ancient charm to the dinner.
Ruan Yue ordered a bowl of the signature crab roe noodles, Jiang Tingwan randomly selected a few exquisite side dishes, and Jiang Shixu only ordered a pot of Longjing tea.
The banquet was quiet, with only the sound of the pipa and the occasional clatter of dishes and chopsticks.
After dinner, Ruan Yue got up and went to the bathroom, leaving only the brother and sister in the private room.
Jiang Shixu picked up the teacup and suddenly asked, "What do you think of Shen Guan?"
Jiang Tingwan raised her eyebrows.
What can you think?
She just said calmly: "He is okay."
Jiang Shixu nodded immediately: "Then let's observe for a while."
Jiang Tingwan was stunned and didn't understand what he meant, so she just continued talking.
"It doesn't matter who I marry. Let Ruan Yue get in touch with them first."
Jiang Shixu put down the teacup and frowned slightly, "Just choose what you like, don't think about these."
Jiang Tingwan smiled faintly and did not respond.
Being in this position, does it matter whether you like it or not?
If she remembered correctly, the welcoming banquet a few days ago was supposed to be an occasion for Jiang Shixu to meet with the daughters of various families, but it was disrupted because of her matter.
It is estimated that soon, he will have to deal with those so-called "equally matched" people.
