Chapter 5 Chapter 5 "Have you been eyeing that girl for a long time...
"Mimi."
After watching Uncle Chen's car turn around and drive away, Guan Mi heard a gentle voice behind him. He subconsciously turned his head and saw Wen Li wearing a white T-shirt and black pants.
He was tall and thin, carrying a backpack on one shoulder, with handsome features and a bright smile in his eyes. For a moment, she thought she was back in college, and he often appeared like this downstairs of the girls' dormitory.
She immediately started laughing and would have rushed over if she hadn't been wearing high heels.
The moment she was held in his arms, she smelled that familiar scent, and her whole body and mind suddenly became light.
"I thought you weren't coming until tomorrow."
"I wanted to see you sooner," Wen Li said softly. When Zhuang Shuimo came out of her room, she saw the door to the living room open. She tilted her head and peeked outside, only to see Guan Mi's handsome boyfriend.
"Hi." She greeted first.
Wen Li smiled and nodded.
Just then, Guan Mi came out of the room carrying something. Zhuang Shuimo walked to the refrigerator and said, "Your boyfriend has been here at least thirty times, why don't you let him in?"
Guan Mi smiled, lowered his head and locked the door, "He was worried that it would be inconvenient for everyone."
"You haven't been back for the past two days?"
"Yeah." She turned around, "Let's go back the day after tomorrow night."
Zhuang Shuimo shrugged. "I see your refrigerator compartment is empty, and I wanted you to accompany me to the supermarket to buy some."
She usually goes with Yu Tongtong. She has been staying at home for too long and is not used to going out alone.
Guan Mi said, "What do you want to buy? If it's not a lot, I can help you carry it."
Zhuang Shuimo shook her head and smiled, "No need, go on your date quickly, don't make your boyfriend wait anxiously."
Wen Li booked a room at a nearby hotel. It was too hot outside, so they decided not to go out for dinner and instead ordered takeout to eat at the hotel.
The room is airy and cool, on a high floor, and you can see the night view of the city from the balcony.
Wen Li put down his backpack, opened Guan Mi's bag, took out a clothes hanger from the closet, and hung up both of their clothes.
"What do you want to eat?" he asked.
Guan Mi picked up the computer, thought for a moment, and said, "Chicken feet stew."
"Then the shrimp, crab and chicken feet stew?"
"Can."
After hanging up the clothes, Wen Li opened his phone and searched, "There's one five kilometers away. It might take more than an hour to deliver it."
Guan Mi turned on the computer and prepared to sort out the information he would need for his trip to Hong Kong City on Monday. "Then wait, I'm not hungry yet. Are you hungry?"
"Not hungry."
After ordering, Wen Li walked behind Guan Mi, leaned over and hugged her waist, his breath whispering in her ear, "It's been over an hour, shall we go take a shower first?"
Guan Miwei tilted her head back, her body unconsciously leaning towards him, "Okay."
…
Lu Kai didn't call anyone else tonight, just him and Shen Yanfeng.
There is a private racing track here that is run by an acquaintance, and Shen Yanfeng parked a Koenigsegg CCXR in it.
He hadn't touched this car for a long time. He sat in it and stepped on the accelerator. The engine roared and then drove onto the mountain road.
Lu Kai followed closely behind.
In the darkness of the night, two cars sped past one another.
There are no spectators, no rules, just pure pleasure brought by speed.
After turning the highest bend, the car stopped. They got out and stood on the high ground, overlooking the night scene of the city.
Lu Kai took out his phone and talked about the other buddies who were going to participate in the competition. "Lao Liao and the others will be back at the end of next month. I think they can win this time."
Shen Yanfeng found a flat stone to sit on, the mountain breeze brushing across his eyebrows, "I'll go and see it when the time comes."
Lu Kai took a few photos and posted them on his Moments. After doing so, he scrolled down and saw a post Guan Mi had made two minutes ago. He read out the text, "Start a wonderful weekend... It turns out Secretary Guan went out to eat something delicious."
Shen Yanfeng glanced at him, "When did you get her WeChat?"
"I added her at your annual meeting at the beginning of the year," Lu Kai casually liked Guan Mi's circle of friends. "I was in her hometown at the time doing some work, and asked about the good food there."
"By the way, are you really going to marry Gao Qi?" Lu Kai asked after putting away his phone.
Shen Yanfeng looked into the distance and said nothing.
Lu Kai said, "I heard that Gao Qi had two serious boyfriends when she was abroad. If I were you, I would find someone I like and have a good chat with her before the marriage and experience the sweetness of love."
Shen Yanfeng laughed: "Isn't this harming the girl?"
Lu Kai kicked the stone at his feet and said, "After all these years, there are many people who like you. Don't you like any of them?"
He patted Shen Yanfeng's shoulder and said, "Tell me, brother, what kind do you like?"
Chen Yanfeng took out his cigarette case and lighter, but then, remembering that they were in the mountains, he put it back in.
He raised his eyes lazily, smiled, and said, "You have to please me."
"Who do you like?" Lu Kai racked his brains and thought, "Dai Rou?"
As soon as he said the name, a sharp glare shot towards him. He sneered, "Alright, we've all been together, raising her. If any of us have any feelings for her, we'll be struck by lightning."
"But you already have Dai Rou by your side, who else do you like?"
"There's no such person. Don't make blind guesses..."
"Guan Mi!" Lu Kai slapped his thigh excitedly. "How could I have forgotten about this girl? If you didn't like her, why would you have kept her around for three years? You've been together day and night, so you must have been interested in her for a long time, right?"
"...You must be joking." Chen Yanfeng stood up and turned to walk towards the car. "Go home and sleep."
However, Lu Kai was already excited. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that he was right.
"Then tell me, why did you choose a recent college graduate instead of a secretary with rich work experience when your company was going public?"
Shen Yanfeng paused slightly.
To be honest, even he himself doesn't know the answer to this question.
Lu Kai smiled mischievously, "You were superficial at the time, you just looked at the girl because she was pretty."
"Guan Mi's appearance is indeed in line with my aesthetic taste." Shen Yanfeng said calmly, "But if I really wanted to, I wouldn't have waited until now."
Lu Kai pressed on: "You don't like her, but you keep giving her raises? You don't take her to social events? You bring her little gifts every time you come back from abroad?"
"The entire president's office gets a share of the gift."
"Come on," Lu Kai looked at him meaningfully. "At the end of the year before last, they said they were going to renovate that building in Qiaoxi to use as staff dormitories. Didn't they come up with this idea the day after they sent her home?"
"The building in Qiaoxi was empty at the time, so what's wrong with wanting to make reasonable use of it?" Shen Yanfeng felt that he shouldn't have stayed with Lu Kai tonight. It would have been better to go home early to accompany Becky. "Stop talking nonsense and go down the mountain."
Lu Kai snorted and laughed. This guy was still a blockhead. "I guess you just haven't seen your own heart clearly yet. I need to stimulate you."
As for how to stimulate it, he needs to think about it carefully.
As soon as I opened the door, the crystal chandelier in the entrance hall lit up, and Becky, who was curled up on the cashmere blanket, immediately ran over with her tail raised.
"Meow~ Meow~"
Shen Yanfeng bent down and picked up Becky. After playing with it for a while, he went upstairs to the terrace, took off his shirt, and jumped directly into the swimming pool.
After swimming a few laps, the old man called. He swam ashore, took a bath towel, and sat on the small stairs next to him to answer the phone.
After just a few words, she asked him about the marriage. He was annoyed and changed the subject by talking about racing in the mountains tonight.
Mr. Shen also had a flammable and explosive personality. When he heard that he was playing with cars again, his voice immediately rose: "Back then, you refused to join the army, and now you're risking your life? Wasn't the incident with the Cheng family kid enough to teach you a lesson?"
Shen Yanfeng's face tensed instantly. The old man was still talking, but he couldn't hear anything anymore. He didn't even know when the call was hung up.
It wasn't until a "ding" sound pulled him out of his past thoughts.
Guan Mi: [Mr. Shen, your flight is at 10:12 am on Monday. Do you need me to pick you up?]
He replied briefly and casually scrolled through his Moments. Since he didn't have many contacts, he quickly scrolled to the content he had read.
He always felt that something was strange. After this strange feeling emerged, he understood what was strange.
Didn’t you say you would post it on your Moments?
Never mind, he wasn't very interested in watching it.
He threw his phone aside and jumped into the water again. This time the splash was obviously much bigger than before.
Sunday noon.
Guan Mi ate too much at lunch and felt a little dizzy. He felt sleepy when he returned to the hotel.
Wen Li took the high-speed train at around four in the afternoon. After sleeping with Guan Mi for a while, he went out alone.
When he arrived at the supermarket, he pushed a shopping cart.
An hour later, the car was full of stuff.
Guan Mi woke up and saw that it was already three o'clock, so he jumped up from the bed.
Wen Li, who was sitting nearby, smiled and said, "No rush, I'll take a taxi."
She slowed down and grabbed a handful of hair, "You didn't sleep?"
"I slept for a while." Wen Li unscrewed the bottle of mineral water on the table and gave it to her. "Is there anyone else going on this business trip to Hong Kong City with you?"
She drank the water and shook her head. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw her phone next to Wen Li's hand. "It's just me and the boss."
The passwords of the two people's mobile phones are each other's birthdays, and their phones can be viewed at will.
Wen Li said nothing more.
Guan Mi picked up the beige hollow blouse beside the bed and put it on. "I'll go back on the second weekend of next month. Are uncle and aunt free?"
Wen Li nodded and said, "I'll pick you up when the time comes."
"Just pick me up at Jiangcheng Railway Station." She smiled and got out of bed. "Don't bother going back and forth. It's not only tiring, but it also costs money."
Wen Li reached for his phone, opened the ticket purchase website, and after a few operations, entered Guan Mi's ID number in the passenger's field. "Then take the high-speed rail back? It's too hot. Although the train has air conditioning, it's stuffy and crowded. There's also a lot of cigarette smoke, which you hate the most."
Guan Mi thought about it and felt that it was okay to be a little extravagant occasionally.
"Okay, I'll buy it in a few days." After saying that, she suddenly noticed two bulging supermarket shopping bags piled next to the TV cabinet.
"You went to the supermarket?" she asked in surprise.
Wen Li stood up and hugged her from behind. "I bought some noodles and vegetables. You can cook for yourself when you have enough time. The food outside is a bit dirty."
"Then there's no need to buy so much." Guan Mi smiled helplessly, "Did you hear what Zhuang Shuimo said that day?"
"Well." Wen Li said, "You are too busy, so I will buy more at one time."
She turned and leaned against his shoulder, suddenly wishing this weekend could be longer.
After the two of them carried their things back to the rental house together, Guan Mi sent Wen Li to take the high-speed rail, and then took the subway back alone.
Every time they met, there was a period of aftereffects. On the subway, she would look through the photos they had taken together over the past two days; when she lay in bed at night, she would miss his embrace.
When it's weekdays, she devotes herself to work and has no time to think about these things.
On Monday morning, Guan Mi went back to the company to get some information.
Sister Song walked into the CEO's office from the tea room with a cup of coffee. She turned around and saw Guan Mi coming out of Chen Yanfeng's office with a briefcase. "How long will this business trip take?"
Guan Mi closed the door and said, "Come back the day after tomorrow."
"I heard there's a cocktail party tonight?"
"right."
Sister Song smiled and said, “There are usually female companions for this kind of occasion. Does Mr. Shen want you to go with him?”
"He didn't mention it."
With Chen Yanfeng's status, he naturally would not lack female companions. He rarely attended such social occasions, but he could not refuse tonight.
At this moment, Shanshan, the legal secretary, was typing away at her keyboard without even looking up. "Secretary Guan, if it's convenient, could you bring me some coffee flower cookies and cocoa chips from Jenny Bear's?"
Last year, the staff of the President's Office went to Hong Kong for team building. The company bought them souvenirs from this store. They tasted very good and Shanshan has been thinking about them all the time.
Guan Mi nodded in response: "Okay."
After more than three hours of flying, it was already past two in the afternoon when they arrived at Shen Yanfeng's house in Gangcheng.
He owns two properties here, one on the Peak and the other a large flat next to Victoria Harbour.
The butler put the luggage away and left. Guan Mi stood in front of the bar, concentrating on brewing tea.
When I got off the plane just now, the person who came to pick me up gave me a box of exquisite West Lake Longjing tea, which was brewed in a very particular way.
Shen Yanfeng was standing in front of the French window, talking on the phone. When he smelled the fragrance of tea, he glanced sideways.
Guan Mi tied her hair into a high ponytail today, revealing her clean forehead and clear features, and her skin was clear and fair.
In the vase beside her, the newly inserted pink roses were quietly blooming, making her look even more beautiful.
"Mr. Shen, what do you think of my proposal just now?" A voice came from the receiver.
"Boss Shen?"
Shen Yanfeng retracted his gaze and continued talking on the phone.
