As night falls, neon lights twinkle, making Beijing look prosperous and splendid.
Outside a luxurious box at the Grand Hyatt Hotel, a young man was pacing back and forth anxiously, looking towards the elevator from time to time, as if he was waiting for someone.
finally.
From the carpeted corridor on the other side came the sound of an elevator arriving.
A tall and languid figure appeared. It was drizzling outside and the air was chilly. The man was wearing a thin dark suit. He had delicate features, cold and fair skin, a pair of cold and beautiful eyes that were slightly drooped, and he looked very distant.
"Brother Yan, you are finally here!"
The young man went forward with great excitement.
The young man's name is Shen Wenyu.
It can be said that Shen Wenyu's life has been smooth sailing since he was born - a typical rich second-generation, smart, and after graduation, he used his family's resources to establish Zhuoyu Technology.
He met Shi Yan in the early days of the company.
To be precise, it was Shen Wenyu who got to know Shi Yan by force. He had a girlfriend whom he had been dating for a long time, who was Fu Jie's cousin. Shi Yan was a cold person and did not like socializing, and Fu Jie was one of the few people who rarely socialized.
Shen Wenyu began to follow Fu Jie shamelessly, and tried hard to make his presence felt in front of Shi Yan.
After getting to know Shi Yan, Shen Wenyu deeply realized the importance of having a big boss as a friend. He used Shi Yan as his trump card more than once, commonly known as "the fox borrowing the tiger's might".
For example, today's dinner party will be attended by many important figures in the business world.
Shen Wenyu has recently become very interested in a new real estate project of Sheng Group and is interested in reaching a cooperation agreement.
"But unfortunately, my mortal enemy, Lu Wei from Future Technology, also got the news from somewhere and started to be interested in Sheng's project." Shen Wenyu said angrily, "I heard that Lu Wei has started to think of ways to get in touch with Sheng Yuan privately."
Shi Yan's eyelashes twitched slightly.
Shen Wenyu didn't notice this detail. He just thought that Shi Yan didn't like to socialize with others, so he explained, "Oh, Sheng Yuan - the one who just returned to China last month, Sheng Yuan, the chairman of Sheng Group, will come to the dinner today."
"Lu Weijun is coming too. This bastard is full of tricks. Brother Yan, I have no choice but to ask you to help me calm down."
Shen Wenyu brought Shi Yan into the box, where there were already quite a few people.
Shi Yan's appearance caused quite a stir, and the people present stood up subconsciously.
Everyone was surprised that this person would show up.
There were many people present who were older and more experienced than Shi Yan, but they still gave up the first seat willingly.
After all, everyone knows that this dark horse in the business world who is good at high-tech projects can make a lot of money from any project he does by simply throwing out a patent. Many people want to curry favor with him, but they can't find the opportunity.
As the saying goes, knowing yourself and your enemy ensures victory in a hundred battles.
After taking your seat.
Before the meal started, Shen Wenyu leaned over to Shi Yan's ear and told him the information he had heard about Sheng Yuan:
"Don't be fooled by her girlish appearance. She is very capable. Take her special assistant, Amy, for example. She is definitely a good candidate to be a CFO."
"At that time, she was discussing business with Sheng Yuan, who had just arrived in France. A bearded client made a dirty comment to Amy. The bearded man was a man of some status, not a small figure. Sheng Yuan was a junior entering the business world. Without saying a word, he lit a cigar, put it in the bearded man's mouth, and left with Amy."
"There is no doubt that the cooperation has failed. The bearded man is still grudge against us and has threatened not to cooperate with Sheng Yuan—"
Shen Wenyu stopped talking here. He glanced at Shi Yan's cold brows and said awkwardly, "Brother, I forgot that you have never been interested in other people's affairs."
Shen Wenyu was about to stop talking and change the subject, but Shi Yan was silent for a moment and asked, "And then?"
"..." Shen Wenyu was slightly surprised. It was rare for Shi Yan to ask about it. He stumbled and hurriedly said the follow-up: "At that time, many people said that Sheng Yuan was impulsive and made mistakes. But half a month later, Sheng Yuan not only found a new party A, but also swallowed up the project of the bearded man."
"The bearded man came to beg for mercy and gave up a big profit, but Sheng Yuan ignored him. Since then, Amy has been following Sheng Yuan wholeheartedly."
"So I said, this girl is amazing. She had just graduated not long ago. When I started my own business, I often had to ask my father to clean up the mess I made when I offended others."
"It is much harder for women to run a business than for men. Although I have not met her in person, I admire her very much."
After Shen Wenyu finished sighing, he suddenly remembered: "By the way, brother, you suddenly disappeared on the day of the signing ceremony between me and Qixiang Airlines last month. What did you do? I wanted to treat you to a meal, but you disappeared."
Before Shen Wenyu could wait for Shi Yan's answer, the door of the box opened.
Except for Shi Yan, everyone present had seen Sheng Yuan's photo. Before meeting her in person, everyone felt a mixture of admiration, fear, and the desire to make friends with her.
However, after seeing him in person, I was deeply amazed.
Everyone knows that the chairman of Sheng Group is young, but no one would have thought that he is so dignified that people can't take their eyes off him.
Sheng Yuan wore a light-colored satin shirt and a high-waisted skirt, with a black coat hanging on her other arm. Her ankles were slender and her skin was as white as snow, as she stepped on black pointed high heels. She exuded a bright and cold feeling.
"Sorry, I'm late." She said in a polite voice.
Naturally, no one would blame her and they hurriedly welcomed her to take a seat.
At that time, Shen Wenyu had a bitter look on his face. When he saw Sheng Yuan and Lu Wei appear together, he cursed inwardly: "I knew that bastard Lu Wei was scheming."
Lu Wei was very attentive to Sheng Yuan and took the initiative to pull out a chair for Sheng Yuan.
"Need not."
Sheng Yuan took action herself and silently rejected Lu Wei.
Lu Wei had an embarrassed look on his face, and was about to sit next to Sheng Yuan when a bony hand was placed on the back of the chair, then pulled away and the owner of the hand sat down.
Lu Wei was about to speak out, but when he turned around and saw someone, he suddenly stopped talking.
Not only Lu Wei, but Shen Wenyu and everyone else present also stared in amazement as Shi Yan, who was originally sitting in the main seat, stood up and walked to the lower seat next to Sheng Yuan and sat down.
"Mr. Sheng, would you mind?"
As if he didn't notice anyone at all, Shi Yan's dark eyes fell on Sheng Yuan's face with clear and cool eyes, and he asked this question.
Sheng Yuan looked at Shi Yan, curled her lips, diluted the cold feeling on her body, and replied: "Of course not, Mr. Shi."
No one knew that these people who were so polite to each other were a newlywed couple who had been married for more than a month.
…
Lu Wei felt very uncomfortable sitting in the main seat - the seats in the box were arranged according to the number of people present, no more and no less.
Shi Yan moved from the main seat to another seat. Lu Wei had no other empty seat, so he could only sit in the main seat. However, with his qualifications, he didn't even have time to compete with Shen Wenyu. The various arrogant looks from the people at the table were enough to make him sweat.
Shen Wenyu didn't have time to appreciate Lu Wei's embarrassment. At this moment, he was busy being moved.
After Shi Yan moved next to Sheng Yuan, he actually took the initiative to pick up food for Sheng Yuan, serve her soup, and peel shrimps, taking care of her in every possible way.
This action not only shocked Shen Wenyu, but also frightened others.
They looked at each other, wondering if Shi Yan had been possessed by another spirit.
The most important thing is that Sheng Yuan accepted it all.
Are these two still the extremely cold and indifferent people in their rumors? Shen Wenyu was only moved - woo, Brother Yan must have heard what he just said and wanted to help him get to know the chairman of Sheng Corporation.
In the past, Shen Wenyu would never have dared to think that Shi Yan would do these things, so he was really moved. Brother Yan's "sacrifice" was too great. Brother Yan was his real brother! Shen Wenyu was still moved until the end of the dinner.
Shi Yan helped Sheng Yuan take her coat and left the box with Sheng Yuan.
Seeing this, Shen Wenyu wanted to chase after her to see her off, and then he saw Shi Yan holding Sheng Yuan's hand with his free hand.
——Huh?!
Shen Wenyu's eyes widened, and he couldn't help but shout, "Brother Yan, this sacrifice is too great. I can't bear it anymore."
Shi Yan turned around and suddenly said, "Let's get married."
Shen Wenyu was stunned and didn't understand: "What?"
"Didn't you ask where I went on the day of the signing ceremony?"
Shi Yan held Sheng Yuan's hand and said, "I'm going to get married."
