Chapter 32 With my senior here, I feel at ease! ...
Fang Han looked at Gao Wen's outstretched slender hand, a smile spreading across his lips. "It's a pleasure working with you."
As he spoke, he briefly grasped her hand before quickly separating it.
Her delicate fingertips brushed across Fang Han's palm, stirring ripples in his heart.
He was attracted to her; he had always known that.
When Gao Wen arrived in this unfamiliar environment, even though she knew Yao Zhanming and the others before, they were only casual acquaintances, nothing like the familiarity she had with Fang Han.
She sat down next to his workstation and spoke to him softly.
Fang Han always answered Gao Wen's questions, and the two chatted about project issues for quite a while.
He knew the project well and spoke fluently, which made Gao Wen give him a thumbs up frequently. She even laughed and said, "With my senior here, I feel at ease."
Fang Han is a reliable and reassuring person.
With him around, she felt much more at ease.
Upon hearing this, Fang Han paused slightly as he flipped through the documents, but still maintained a natural expression: "This is our job, I will cooperate with you, don't feel pressured."
"I was under pressure a few days ago, but I'm not now," Gao Wen said truthfully. She glanced at the busy people around her and whispered, "I didn't bother you, did I?"
"It's fine, it's a good opportunity to slack off."
Hearing Fang Han say this made Gao Wen smile again. She reached out and picked up the project documents he had put aside, and smiled, "Okay, I'll just slack off here for you."
As Gao Wen spoke, she solemnly opened the documents, pretending to be discussing project issues.
A moment later, Gu Shujie came out: "Everyone, let's leave work early and go out for a big meal!"
Before he finished speaking, everyone cheered and got up to pack their things.
Fang Han originally wanted to leave with Gao Wen, but Zhang Ni arrived and waved to Gao Wen, "Wenwen, I'm here!"
Gao Wen walked over with a smile, and Zhang Ni affectionately took her hand. The two chatted and laughed as they walked out.
Fang Han followed behind the two.
Upon arriving at the restaurant's private room, Zhang Ni and Gao Wen sat together, while Gu Shujie sat next to Zhang Ni. Seeing Fang Han who had followed them in, he pointed to the seat next to Gao Wen and said, "Engineer Fang, you can sit there. There are quite a few people, so let's all squeeze in."
Fang Han didn't refuse and sat down next to Gao Wen.
If he doesn't sit down, Yao Zhanming and Chen Ming will probably fight over it when they arrive, which is definitely not acceptable.
Zhang Ni and Gao Wen were still discussing the yoga studio. They were planning an event soon, and the plan was ready, but Gao Wen hadn't seen it yet.
As the two were discussing, Gao Wen got up to pour drinks for everyone.
"I'll do it," Fang Han said, standing up first.
His phone, which was on the table, vibrated twice, indicating he had received two messages. He ignored them and continued pouring his drink.
One dish after another was served, all of them signature dishes. Fang Han saw a dish of steamed pork ribs with taro and pointed to the one in front of Gao Wen, saying, "Put it there."
Gao Wen looked at the steamed, soft taro and picked up her chopsticks to take a bite. Fang Han reached out and stopped the rotating table. Just then, his phone rang; it was a video call.
Fang Han switched to voice call moderation, held the phone to his ear, and said, "I understand," after the person on the other end said something.
After hanging up the phone, Fang Han immediately opened the other person's WeChat Moments, liked the latest post, and then put the phone aside.
He had just finished eating when his phone rang again.
Gao Wen looked at Fang Han curiously and asked in a low voice, "Senior, is something urgent?"
"It's nothing urgent, I'm going out to take this call." Fang Han, not wanting to disturb them, took his phone and walked out.
As soon as he answered, the person on the other end said angrily, "Two! Both of them deserve a thumbs up! Why don't you listen to what I'm saying?! You're the only one missing!"
"I'll go right now." Fang Han had a headache.
Hu Hong emphasized: "It's time to close right now!"
Fang Han hung up the phone and then clicked into the other person's WeChat Moments. There was a long list of likes. Before, it was for collecting likes to attend a senior dance class, and later it was for collecting likes to attend a senior painting class.
Recently, the trend has changed again; people are now collecting likes to attend yoga classes.
One is a meticulous yoga studio, and the other is a pure and tranquil yoga studio. Collect 38 likes and you'll receive a 7-day free trial class card.
Because of Gao Wen, Fang Han had a much better impression of this yoga studio.
Taking yoga classes is also a good way to exercise.
Fang Han returned to the private room and hadn't even sat down when Gao Wen stood up. She answered the phone, covered it with her hand, and asked softly, "Can't you come at eight o'clock tomorrow morning? What time would you like to reschedule your class? I'll handle things at the front desk. She just started working here and isn't very clear on many things. I'm really sorry."
"Please wait a moment."
Fang Han stepped aside to make way for Gao Wen.
After Gao Wen left, the atmosphere at the dinner table remained lively. Fang Han kept glancing towards the door, eating absentmindedly.
In the corridor.
Gao Wen was communicating with a member. Because the private room was too noisy, she walked forward while making the call. After finishing her conversation with the member, she went to find the front desk.
By the time she finished dealing with the matter, she had already gone quite a distance, so she quickly turned back.
Gao Wen forgot where the private room was and took out her phone to check. As she walked back, she passed a private room. A gust of wind blew, and the door slowly opened. She glanced inside unintentionally and stopped in her tracks.
In the empty private room, only one person was sitting motionless in a chair with their eyes closed.
Lin Heng?
Gao Wen looked around, but it seemed like no one was there anymore.
She initially didn't want to pay attention to him and even quickened her pace, as she really didn't want to have too much interaction with Lin Heng.
Halfway there, Gao Wen turned back and slowly walked into the private room. Seeing Lin Heng, who reeked of alcohol, she approached and called out, "Director Lin?"
Lin Heng's eyelids twitched, and he struggled to open his eyes.
Seeing that it was Gao Wen, he rubbed his temples and shook his head vigorously: "Gao Wen? What brings you here?"
“I was having dinner with my friends. When I saw you alone, I wondered what had happened,” Gao Wen said when she saw that he was awake. “If you’re alright, I’ll be going now.”
"Hiss—" Lin Heng frowned, then leaned back heavily, causing the chair to wobble twice.
Gao Wen stopped walking and looked at Lin Heng: "Isn't anyone going to pick you up? Do you want to call your family?"
"Okay." Lin Heng took out his phone and made a call.
The person on the other end must have been asking where it was. Lin Heng looked up and glanced behind him.
Gao Wen pointed to the name on the private room.
Lin Heng: "Huaixiang Pavilion".
After he finished the call and hung up, he turned around to talk to Gao Wen.
There was no one behind me.
Lin Heng sobered up halfway through his drinking session. He thought it was a hallucination, so he stood up and staggered out, only to see a familiar figure at the end of the corridor.
He looked again, but the figure had vanished.
Lin Heng's expression was complicated. He sat in his chair and pondered for a moment, then took his suit jacket and went out. When he got back to his car, he called Lin Siyue: "You don't need to come. I've arranged a driver."
After saying that, he leaned back in the car and closed his eyes to rest.
The image of Gao Wen kept appearing before his eyes, disturbing his mind.
On the other end.
Jiang Shuyan looked at the empty private room and quickly went to the restroom to check.
Still no one.
A waiter pushed a cart in to tidy up, and she hurriedly asked, "Where are the people here?"
"You're leaving after you've finished eating?" the waiter said.
"He's gone? Wasn't he drunk? How did he leave?" Jiang Shuyan asked.
Her best friend called her, saying that Lin Heng was drunk and asking her to come and pick him up.
In the storyline, Lin Heng got drunk this time. After she came to find him, she helped him back home. In the car, he kissed her, and their relationship underwent a qualitative change.
This can be considered as breaking through the barrier, and things are starting to heat up.
Before arriving, Jiang Shuyan touched up her makeup and sprayed on some light perfume, already prepared to be kissed by Lin Heng.
So much has happened lately, she feels very insecure and desperately wants to be with Lin Heng, marry him, and have children.
Waiter: "A woman came in; they should have left together by now."
"A woman?" Jiang Shuyan's expression changed drastically, becoming extremely ugly, and even her voice became shrill.
Upon hearing this, the waiter quickly changed his story: "I don't know, I didn't see it."
"Didn't you say you saw a woman? What did she look like? How did they leave?" Jiang Shuyan pressed.
"I must have mistaken you, I didn't see it," the waiter waved his hand, denying it repeatedly.
When Jiang Shuyan came out, she took out her phone and called Lin Heng.
No one answered.
She called several times, but no one answered.
Jiang Shuyan was so angry that her chest heaved violently, and her face turned pale.
A woman?!

Gao Wen's dinner party has ended.
Upon reaching the door, everyone went in different directions.
Zhang Ni originally wanted to take Gao Wen back, but she declined, saying, "No need. I'm going the same way as my seniors, we'll go back together. Isn't your baby awake? Hurry up and go home."
"Okay, see you tomorrow," Zhang Ni said with a smile.
"See you tomorrow."
Gao Wen was indeed going the same way as several senior students. Yao Zhanming and the others wanted to take a taxi to send her back first, but Gao Wen shook her head: "I want to walk back slowly. I ate too much and need to digest."
"Walking? Well—"
“I live close to her, we’ll go together, you guys go back first,” Fang Han said.
"Okay, I need to go back and work a bit more, I really can't walk." Yao Zhanming said with a smile, "Bye-bye, junior, see you next time."
"Bye-Bye."
"goodbye."
Yao Zhanming and Chen Ming shared an apartment nearby. After they left by car, only Fang Han and Gao Wen remained.
The two looked at each other and smiled.
Facing the cool evening breeze of early autumn, Gao Wen walked briskly ahead, turned back to look at Fang Han, and said in a soft tone, "I'll be relying on you for guidance during this time, senior."
"You're too kind, it's my pleasure."
