Chapter 10

Chen Shu showed a look of surprise and said, "Should we play together?"

Three people went upstairs together

Chen Shu coughed and said, "I am a bit thirsty, but never mind, I will talk about it after going up"

What about Gao Leng and Lin Qingqing? They have a group together

Daughter-in-law! You are back!

At this point, Xu Yanshi glanced at her and suddenly asked with great concern: "Are you thirsty?"

Chen Shu suddenly realized with a strange sense of fate that Xu Yan seemed to be warning her not to say too much in front of Yuan, after all, he was also a newcomer who had just joined the company, full of ambition and earnest in his work

The social insurance and five guarantees are self-evident; the position is Technical Director, with an annual base salary of 600,000, plus project commissions, in addition to a house in the fourth ring of Beijing.

Otherwise, how could tonight's gathering be complete without him? When we said the boss would personally cook, he firmly declared that he would not come

Yuan responded with a sound, "I haven't played for a long time"

The aloof one was as excited as a large golden retriever, clinging to Chen Shu and refusing to let go no matter what. Chen Shu was almost out of breath from being choked, and he slapped the top of his head hard, saying, "You want to strangle me to get a new one, right? I knew you had feelings for Yin Yin all along."

Chen Shu nodded and followed along, "What are you thinking? Are you still hoping to return to Beijing? However, I have inquired on your behalf. Chen Shan's side has indicated that you will definitely be brought back by next year at the latest. Moreover, I have heard from the headquarters that this branch will not last until the end of next year. Once the branch is closed, Chen Shan will certainly have a reason to bring you back. However, I personally believe that even if you go to the headquarters, it won't be much better than your current situation. I have caught wind of some news..."

High and aloof: "Who has nothing to do but look at the group? You haven't mentioned me in the group either."

Xiang Yuan cast a doubtful glance at Xu Yan, feeling a mix of sympathy and an indescribable discomfort. How could such a wonderful person simply get divorced?

You Zhi said: "Let me provide some information. Generally, it is not advisable for the average person to purchase off-season food, as it is typically grown in greenhouses and can be considered pseudo-natural growth. It is better to consume seasonal vegetables, which are beneficial for health. Off-season food is often treated with numerous pesticides to enhance its appearance, and you have no idea how many harmful chemicals unscrupulous merchants have used. Of course, the main reason the boss does not buy it is that it is expensive."

After speaking, he placed the items in his hand in front of her

Xiang Yuan replied in a rather indifferent manner, "What does it have to do with me?"

Shi Tianyou also picked up his bowl, placed a slice of beef into the hot pot to cook, and said: "I said, you two don't look like you just met; it turns out you are high school classmates. No wonder the boss helps you confront Yingying in the group chat."

He has already taken off the down jacket outside, and the zipper of his sportswear is unzipped, revealing a simple white T-shirt underneath, giving off a very homey vibe. As he passed by Shi Tianyou, he ran his hand over the back of his head and casually said, "It's okay, you've already done half of it."

When Xu Yanshi came out of the kitchen again, holding his own bowl and chopsticks, the table was crowded with people. You Zhi was just about to make room for him when he directly straddled the back of a chair and sat down with one leg. He then leaned sideways to scoop the chili sauce in front of Gao Leng.

Xiang Yuan had never seen her before and thought she was a resident here. However, the woman walked up to the two of them in high heels, casting a malicious glance at Xiang Yuan, and with a flirtatious tone, "Little sister, let me tell you, this man is divorced. He has a child who is about seven or eight years old, and he is almost thirty, still living in this run-down building. Honestly, he has no money. If you have your eyes on him, you might as well go find the doorman, Uncle Li, who has two apartments in the city."

Ashers is a dog

You Zhi turned around calmly and said, "Alright, showing off your long legs again."

Gao Leng is aware of the situation, but he does not dare to speak up. Moreover, he is the only one among everyone here who knows that the boss and Xiang Yuan were classmates. He fears that the boss might beat him up, so he quietly sits down and takes a few bites of rice to fill his mouth

Chen Shu took a puff of his cigarette, tilted his head back, and slowly exhaled: "I have a company that wants to recruit you. Although it is not as passionate as Wade's enterprise, it is a startup. The owner appreciates you and has mentioned it to me several times. When I went to Beijing this time, he talked to me for an entire evening, and the conditions offered are quite favorable. I think you might want to consider it."

Yuan suddenly realized that he actually understood everything, yet for a moment he did not know how to cover up this lie

After finishing the meal, You Zhi recounted the entire sequence of events to Xiang Yuan. Upon hearing this, Xiang Yuan finally understood the ins and outs of the matter and also saw the relevant chat records on You Zhi's phone. She was just a bit puzzled, "What was retracted in this message?"

Chen Shulian nodded slightly. In fact, You Zhi and the others had already extended an invitation once, but Xiang Yuan had declined. This was because her main and secondary accounts were known to others, and if she were to enter with the Ashers account, it would likely frighten this group of people.

Xiang Yuanzheng was racking his brains, and the heavy black iron door behind him creaked shut with a thud. Immediately, the sensor light behind him also went out. The surroundings plunged into darkness, with only a dim, yellowed street lamp at the entrance casting a faint glow on the tall man in front of him. His outline became indistinct, yet his eyes remained clear, like the crescent moon behind him.

Xiang Yuan was taken aback as Xu Yan walked past her leisurely, carrying something and changing into slippers, as if suddenly remembering: "Oh, I forgot to mention, Chen Shu is my aloof girlfriend"

Ah?

It seems I have missed a lot of good shows. As Chen Shugang finished speaking, he saw You Zhi returning from the balcony with several colleagues after smoking. Upon seeing her return, the trio's excitement was palpable, as they lined up neatly on the sofa with their phones, their eyes gleaming with desire as they all looked at Chen Shu, saying, "Come on, Sister Shu, let's play a game of Honor of Kings."

Xu Yanshi is unaware of it, as he does not play at all

Result, Xu Yan cast her a cold glance and said, "Are you an idiot?"

You do not know

Chen Shu ignored him and squinted his eyes to ask: "Did Li Chi really go to a hotel with Ying Yinyin?"

No, you all go ahead and play. I uninstalled it a long time ago

She did not know what had happened to him over the years. She originally thought that he simply did not keep in touch with the people from Class 9, but unexpectedly, he had also cut off contact with Feng Jun.

You Zhi helplessly shook his head, sighing, he is also a poor wretch, the boss is so poor, and now adding another poor wretch, how will these two get by in the future

Xiang Yuan has recently been short on funds and is unwilling to part with even a dime, saying, "Then I won't watch it," before turning to leave.

"Not bad," Xiang Yuan said modestly as she extended her hand. The two were nearly the same height, but because Chen Shu was wearing high heels, she appeared slightly taller. However, Xiang Yuan's presence was equally impressive, and with a slight smile, she added, "Sister, you are also very beautiful"

With a cold and aggrieved expression, he pouted at her and said: "What the hell, are you a devil? I like Ying Yinyin, is that so wrong? Besides, Ying Yinyin went to a hotel with Li Chi tonight... Am I supposed to pick up what Li Chi has already had?"

The aloof ones thought that Xiang Yuan's skills must be quite poor; otherwise, she wouldn't dare to play with them. The aloof one stared at the phone screen, feeling quite satisfied as he watched Chen Shu's movements, while empathetically comforting Xiang Yuan with a few words: "Actually, Sister Yuan, it doesn't matter if you don't play well; everyone plays games for fun, right?"

Both of them were taken aback. Xu Yan turned her head back, and Yang Yuan also leaned out to look. They saw a woman with an 'S' shape standing at the bottom of the building's steps. Her hair was simply tied at the nape of her neck, and she wore a light low-neck fitted sweater and tight pants. A light camel-colored cashmere coat was tucked under her arm, as if she had just gotten out of a car, looking travel-worn yet possessing a refined demeanor

Everyone exclaimed: "Who ordered the crayfish?"

Alright, I will just pretend that I am unaware of your flirtation

"Moreover," Xu Yan said, walking upward with one hand in his pocket

Shi Tianyou sighed and picked the cilantro out of the bowl: "In fact, every type of food, whether in season or out of season, deserves our respect. However, cilantro is a food that will probably never earn my respect in this lifetime."

... ...

She was about to argue, isn't that his younger brother? A bold thought suddenly flashed through her mind, after all, there are people who disguise their biological sons as younger brothers, perhaps to make it easier to find the next partner

Dinner will be served in half an hour

The aloof one is a king among players, initially becoming friendly with Chen Shure because of her impressive skills in the game. After being defeated five hundred times, he finally submitted.

Xu Yanshi introduced it very simply, and with a nod of her chin pointed towards Xiangyuan, saying to Chen Shudao: "Xiangyuan"

You Zhi immediately picked up the bowl of rice and buried his head in it as a whirlwind swept through: "Alright. Forget I said anything."

What conditions? Xu Yan lowered her head, staring at her toes, her voice sounding particularly cold in the night.

So he just bought this at the supermarket

He stared blankly at the garden chopsticks and asked, "Is it supposed to be Du Yingyin?"

Upon focusing on the garden, I could clearly see that it was an already opened seafood sauce, specifically the brand she most frequently consumes

"You haven't exactly refrained from picking up what others have eaten either," Chen Shu rolled his eyes dramatically, "What about your goddess Ashers?"

Youzhi's unprecedented seriousness: "It is understandable. Although the boss never buys out-of-season food"

Xiang Yuan followed behind, silently grumbling, why don't you ask me if I'm thirsty

... ... ''

As we spoke, the hot pot was already boiling, bubbling vigorously and emitting wisps of steam.

On the balcony, Chen Shu, dressed in a sweater, leaned against the railing, exhaling smoke, while Xu Yan lowered her head, crossing her arms and leaning against the frame of the sliding door

Xiang Yuan remembered that many years ago, she had a similar relationship with Xu Yanshi. Among Feng Jun's group of brothers, he was the most difficult to talk to, always appearing cold and indifferent to everyone. However, sometimes when Xiang Yuan asked him for help, he would still agree, even though it seemed quite reluctant. At that time, Xu Yanshi's relationship with Feng Jun was truly very good, and probably everyone in the school knew about it

I do not know, I have not joined the group

Xiang Yuan: Men are indeed big pigs' hooves

Everyone displayed an expression that was not surprising yet felt quite novel

Xiang Yuan was confused, what on earth? Did Xu Yan get divorced? A child of seven or eight years old? It can't be referring to Xu Chengli, can it?

Youzhi: "WeChat transfer of two hundred, screenshot, guaranteed to be high definition without any code"

Lin Qingqing for the same reason

It is the same kind of connections, yet dealing with her feels like stepping on a landmine. Xu Yan, are you a dog?

He couldn't even be bothered to introduce the department. But evidently, Chen Shu knew her, extending his hand to her with a slight smile: "So it's you. I was on a business trip in Beijing for a while and just returned today. I've heard about you; you're quite impressive, managing to get these men to comply so readily right from the start."

Just at that moment, a clear female voice suddenly sounded from behind: "Xu Yanshi?"

Xiang Yuan weakly raised her hand, "I... I ordered it."

When Yang extended her chopsticks towards the crayfish, You Zhi suddenly said to her: "Regardless of anything, we warmly welcome you to join us. Even though it seems that the boss has gone a bit crazy since you arrived, we don't mind if you make him a little crazier. " At this point, You Zhi glanced around at the other brothers and added, "Speaking of which, it seems we have never seen him in a romantic relationship, so we are quite looking forward to how he will deal with his girlfriend."

Xiang Yuan: "You Zhi, you have misunderstood... I have a connection with your boss..."

Chen Shu's high heels clicked crisply in the hallway, echoing with the trivialities of life that she had never heard before: "The Ring City Apartments will be unveiled at the end of the year, with elevators. I have acquaintances there. Would you like me to help you find a connection to get an internal price?"

Why

In the smoke-filled room, Xu Yan emerged from the kitchen holding a small bottle.

Everyone was shocked and simultaneously put down their chopsticks with a loud "clap".

Youzhi and the others turned off their phones and, still feeling unsatisfied, walked towards the dining table, calling out to Chen Shu to continue gaming after dinner. Chen Shu responded with a cheerful "okay," just as he pulled out a chair and sat down.

You Zhi put down his chopsticks and said, "Crawfish, seafood sauce... that's acceptable."

Everyone: "Get lost!"

As soon as he entered, he was taken aback by the imposing coldness that greeted him, followed by a thunderous roar that echoed like a mighty force

Chen Shu's rank in King of Glory is very high, with eighty stars in the King tier. Among the technical department, apart from You Zhi, only Li Chi can barely compare with her; her gameplay completely overwhelms these technical men.

Xiang Yuan suddenly recalled the expression on that day in the conference room when he said that he had not been in touch with Feng Jun for a long time

Chen Shu, Deputy Manager of the Front-end Business Division

Chen Shu recalled and added, "Oh, if you are willing, the boss's daughter also said she could marry you to spare you twenty years of hard work"

Chen Shu, having nothing to do, agreed and casually asked Xiang Yuan beside him, "Are you going to play?"

Faint voices can be heard coming from the balcony

Xu Yanshi had just taken two bites of rice, slightly raised her head, with her chopsticks still resting in the bowl, and coldly said: "I am high school classmates with Xiang Yuan, not the kind of messy relationship you might think, so just shut up and eat."

Chen Shu and Xu Yanshi walked in front, while Xiang Yuan followed behind, listening to their casual conversation. Xu Yanshi's attitude towards Chen Shu seemed to lack that aloofness of superiority. The two appeared to be quite familiar with each other
