Before she could get close, Shen Yanqing had already taken a step back to avoid her.
Shen Yao lost her balance and fell to the ground, looking up at Shen Yanqing with teary eyes.
He pretended not to see it, took a long stride back to his boss's chair, picked up the landline and made a call.
Soon, the office door opened, and Da Tou walked in expressionlessly, grinning at Chen Yao with a formulaic smile: "Miss Chen, please."
"Brother Yan Qing".
She looked at the person sitting behind the desk with a wronged expression, only to find that the other person didn't even spare her a glance, as cold and ruthless as ever. The little bit of romance that had just risen in her heart vanished instantly.
He angrily got up from the ground and followed Da Tou out the door.
As she opened the door to go out, she bumped into Gu Baiwei who was returning. She glared at her fiercely and swayed away with her slender waist.
Gu Baiwei was baffled by her glare.
Thinking that he still needed to talk to Shen Yanqing, he walked to the office door and knocked.
"Come in."
A deep, magnetic voice came from the office, and she went in as instructed.
Then I saw Shen Yanqing sitting with his legs crossed on a large executive chair, holding a document in his hand, looking serious.
If the document hadn't been upside down, she would have thought he was really busy.
She coughed lightly twice and walked to sit down on the sofa opposite his desk.
For a moment, neither of them spoke.
Shen Yanqing flipped through the documents in her hands, looking very busy, but in reality, she didn't read a single word.
Gu Baiwei stared blankly at the tips of her shoes, pondering how to start the conversation.
Ye Yunting called her early this morning, saying that a piece of land he was bidding on had been snatched away by the Shen Group at a high price, and he hoped she could help him find out what price the Shen Group would be willing to give up.
According to him, that piece of land had no development value whatsoever for the Shen family.
Gu Baiwei understood perfectly well that Shen Yanqing was deliberately picking a fight because he was unhappy about their relationship.
Spending tens of millions to buy a piece of land that is completely useless, just out of spite. This person usually seems quite shrewd, how can he be so childish?
As she was pondering how to begin, she noticed a depression in the space beside her.
The person who was just sitting behind the desk looking very busy is now leaning back next to her, rubbing his temples, and closing his eyes slightly, looking like he's taking a break.
"What brings you here?"
As if he had only just noticed her presence, he didn't even open his eyes, and spoke in a detached tone.
He appeared calm and collected, but subtly moved closer to her.
He thought to himself that if she apologized for what happened yesterday, he would hold back for a moment, then agree to go out on a date with her.
After hesitating for a long time, Gu Baiwei finally spoke up: "Yan Qing, I heard you just won a bid for a piece of land..."
Before he could finish speaking, Shen Yanqing suddenly opened his eyes: "You came to me to act as a go-between for that guy surnamed Ye?"
His tone was filled with barely suppressed anger.
"No, I just think it's not worth spending so much money just to compete."
Shen Yanqing sneered: "Whether it's worth it or not is up to me to decide."
After saying that, he gritted his teeth inwardly: "You came all this way just to tell me this?"
Gu Baiwei nodded subconsciously, but then realized something was off and quickly added, "Not entirely, there's also what happened yesterday."
Hearing her say that, Shen Yanqing's expression softened a bit. He thought to himself, since she had taken the initiative to back down, he should also act more generous.
Just as she was thinking this, she heard Gu Baiwei speak softly: "I'm afraid I can't completely avoid seeing Ye Yunting, but I guarantee that we are just ordinary friends."
Shen Yanqing's expression, which had just softened a little, instantly turned cold again. She really couldn't let go of that man.
He felt a mix of frustration, anger, and inexplicable irritability.
He jumped up from the sofa and said curtly, "Gu Baiwei, don't think I can't live without you. If you continue to have an ambiguous relationship with that guy surnamed Ye, we're breaking up."
He practically squeezed the last two words out through gritted teeth.
He's never lacked women; he can have any kind of woman he wants. This is the first time he's ever made such a concession for a woman, yet she's still so ungrateful.
"Yan Qing."
Gu Baiwei reached out to grab him, but her hand grasped nothing.
With a cold expression, Shen Yan slammed the door shut with a loud bang.
The young women in the secretarial department looked over curiously, only to be met with their president's face, which was as black as ink. They immediately looked away, pretending to be busy, not daring to breathe loudly.
With a cold expression, Shen Yan casually tapped on one of the secretaries' desks: "Notify all department heads to come to a meeting."
Didn't she say he bought that land out of spite? He'll have someone come up with a plan to utilize that land immediately.
Gu Baiwei was unaware that her trip had backfired. Seeing that Shen Yanqing had left, she also got up and left.
As she left, the young women in the secretariat stared at her and huddled together, whispering amongst themselves, seemingly discussing something.
She didn't care about other people's affairs and went straight to the underground parking garage to drive her car.
As I sat in the driver's seat, my eyes caught sight of a business card casually tucked into the window. I reached out and picked it up, glancing at the contents. After a moment's hesitation, I took out my phone and dialed a number.
The phone rang only once before it was quickly answered.
Before she could speak, Shen Xuan's voice, clear as jade and filled with laughter, came from the other end: "Sister."
He sounded like he was in a very good mood.
Noticing the loud background noise on his end, Gu Baiwei hesitated for a moment: "Are you busy?"
“When my sister calls me, I’m never busy.”
His voice, tinged with amusement, made Gu Baiwei feel a little awkward. Why did this person always sound so glib?
"Have you thought about what we discussed yesterday, sister?"
She nodded subconsciously, then, remembering that the other person couldn't see, immediately replied, "Yes, I'd like to try."
"That's great! I'm already looking forward to filming with my sister."
Shen Xuan's voice became even more cheerful: "Then, sister, shouldn't you thank me?"
"Okay, I'll treat you to dinner when I have time."
"That's great! I'm free now. Can you come pick me up, sister?"
Before she could reply, Shen Xuan had already happily hung up the phone: "See you later, sister."
In the conference room of Shen's Group.
Shen Yanqing sat in the main seat, his face cold and stern.
The senior executives looked at each other, their backs sweating with tension. They had been sitting there for more than ten minutes, but President Shen hadn't said a word. What kind of meeting was it?
Are they planning to lay off employees? Or have they done something wrong recently?
Just as the senior executives were racking their brains to reflect on where they had gone wrong recently, Shen Yanqing threw the documents in his hand on the table and strode out of the conference room.
The senior executives were speechless. What was going on? Wasn't this supposed to be a meeting? Why had President Shen left?
