Chapter 66 So what?
Only after Zhou Yan took the medicine did Lin Xu feel at ease to go back to work.
After taking the antipyretic, the fever subsided a little, but I felt more drowsy and my eyelids were twitching.
Zhou Yan stayed in the office and rarely went out.
At around three o'clock, the secretary came and knocked on the door, saying that a client wanted to see him.
There was no reason not to see the customer when he came to visit, so Zhou Yan asked his secretary to invite him to the meeting room. He washed his face and went there in high spirits.
When Zhou Yan pushed open the door of the reception room, he was stunned.
This 'client' was the man Lin Xu met at noon.
When the man saw Zhou Yan walk in, he sat on the sofa without getting up and just smiled: "Mr. Zhou?"
Zhou Yan had been in the business world for so many years that he instinctively felt a great deal of hostility and contempt from this person.
Zhou Yan didn't hesitate and nodded: "It's me, who are you?"
The man looked Zhou Yan up and down before introducing himself: "I am Shen Xinji, the general manager of Shenglong Hotel Group. Mr. Shen is my father."
Of course Zhou Yan had heard of Shenglong Hotel and had cooperated with it in the past. However, Zhou Yan only met with the leaders under the headquarters and had no direct contact with the top management.
"I've heard a lot about you." Zhou Yan said politely, but his attitude was not flattering at all. "Mr. Shen, are you here today to discuss business?"
Shen Xinji tapped the armrest of the sofa with his fingers and sneered, “Well, but Mr. Zhou doesn’t seem to be in good shape today.”
"I have a minor cold, it won't affect my work, please tell me about it first."
"Our group is planning an event to thank our VIP customers. It's a priority for everyone in the group, so I'm here to discuss it personally."
"Oh, we've heard about that too. But I've talked to the person you're dealing with before, and he wasn't very willing to cooperate. Is Mr. Shen now fully responsible?"
Zhou Yan had indeed contacted the person in charge of Shenglong before. The two sides had cooperated before and had contact information.
However, this event is aimed at high-end customers, and Shenglong prefers to hire a foreign team.
They think domestic companies are not high-end enough, and this kind of thinking is difficult to change. Zhou Yan does not agree with it, so Zhou Yan did not follow up.
When Shen Xinji came over today, Zhou Yan knew that he was not here for work, but for himself.
I don't have the heart to chat with him too much.
Shen Xinji himself was narrow-minded and came with a provocative mentality, so he felt that Zhou Yan's words were also a subtle criticism of himself as a second-generation rich man with no real power.
He hates it most when people say this to him.
"Of course I can take full responsibility. I'm the only heir of the Shen family. Can't I make the decision on such a small matter?"
Zhou Yan was a little speechless. As soon as he heard this, he realized that this kid had no real ability and was bullying others by relying on his status.
"Then you go ahead." Zhou Yan sat down on another sofa. The secretary brought him some tea, then glanced at Zhou Yan and walked out.
This time it was Shen Xinji's turn to be speechless.
His speechlessness was literal.
Zhou Yan asked him to speak, but he couldn't utter a word.
He had just joined the company and had not had much contact with the actual business. He was just a figurehead.
What was he talking about with Zhou Yan? He didn't even know where to start.
Zhou Yan saw that his face was distorted and laughed at him in his heart.
If it was someone else, Zhou Yan wouldn't mind giving him a way out and asking him to bring a professional person over another day on the pretext of being sick.
But this matter involved Lin Xu, and Zhou Yan didn't want to give Shen Xinji this way out at all.
He leaned back in his chair, sipping tea while waiting for Shen Xinji to speak, neither impatient nor anxious.
Shen Xinji hesitated for a long time and asked Zhou Yan: "You should give me a plan first, right?"
Zhou Yan had a headache. How could he just come up and ask for a plan?
You don't tell me your plan, or discuss style and cost, but just ask someone to come up with a plan for you.
Saying one more word would be like talking to a cow.
Zhou Yan was too lazy to continue talking nonsense with him and asked directly: "Mr. Shen, you didn't come to see me today for work, right? If you have anything to say, just say it."
Since he stopped hiding it, Shen Xinji stopped pretending, mainly because he couldn't pretend anymore.
"Are you Lin Xu's landlord?"
Zhou Yan frowned. Landlord? Lin Xu's introduction to him was so unfamiliar?
Although he didn't know what Shen Xinji's purpose was, Zhou Yan nodded: "Yeah. Any questions?"
"How long has he been living with you?"
"Mr. Shen, I think that whether it's public or private, I think it's better for you to ask him personally about this kind of personal question. However, it seems that he didn't tell you even after you asked him, so I have no comment to make."
Shen Xinji laughed angrily: "You are just a landlord, where does the public and private affairs come from?"
"He's the landlord and also a friend." Zhou Yan looked at Shen Xinji and emphasized.
"Friends? Haha, does Zhou always feel closer to friends or boyfriend?"
After Shen Xinji asked this question, Zhou Yan clenched his fist on the armrest: "What did you say?"
Shen Xinji thought his words had worked, and said proudly: "Mr. Zhou has lived with Lin Xu for so long, he didn't know he was gay, right? Well, how could he dare to tell you? If he told you, I'm afraid you would have disgusted him and kicked him out long ago."
Zhou Yan suddenly stood up, grabbed Shen Xinji by the collar, and lifted him up: "You are talking nonsense!"
"What nonsense can I say? I'm his boyfriend. We had some conflicts, so he found a house to live in out of spite. Now that you know, just let him move out. It will be considered a blessing for us. I can hand this project over to you."
Shen Xinji thought his words were perfect. Since he could make Zhou Yan hate Lin Xu and drive him out, and he could take advantage of the opportunity, Lin Xu had nowhere to go, so he would naturally follow him obediently.
Moreover, he had promised Zhou Yan such a huge achievement, which was equivalent to giving him money for free. There was no reason for him to refuse.
But he didn't expect that Zhou Yan would become furious after hearing what he said.
"You bastard! No matter what your purpose is, you dare to reveal Lin Xu's sexual orientation without knowing who I am. Have you ever thought about the impact it will have on him?!"
Shen Xinji only cared about getting Lin Xu back, and didn't think about these things at all. He said with a guilty conscience: "What does this have to do with you?"
Zhou Yan looked down at Shen Xinji and grabbed his collar, saying viciously, "Lin Xu's matter has something to do with me."
By now, things are very clear.
Lin Xu's so-called "ex-girlfriend" is actually his "ex-boyfriend". No wonder Zhou Yan always felt that Lin Xu's story was not finished, and many things in the middle were confusing.
But if the other party is Shen Xinji, then everything can be explained.
Shen Xinji shamelessly said that he was Lin Xu's boyfriend, but in fact he was just an ex-boyfriend who made Lin Xu disgusted.
He almost ruined Lin Xu's future before, and now he wants to mess up Lin Xu's life again. In order to achieve his own goals, he doesn't care what kind of criticism Lin Xu will face.
It’s so hateful!
"What do you mean? Are you in love with Lin Xu?" Shen Xinji sneered.
Zhou Yan's pupils shrank suddenly, and he gritted his teeth and said word by word: "So what?"
