Chapter Six

Su Tang couldn't think of what to say next, so she weakly turned on the faucet and silently chuckled amidst the gushing sound of flowing water.

Looking at Shen Yi's wording, it is unrealistic to stop the delivery at this moment. Su Tang has always had an S-sized figure and an XXXL-sized heart. She really doesn't like this kind of baseless publicity, but she doesn't mind being watched and gossiped about. It's just that when she thinks about the increasingly outrageous prices in the country, she feels a little sorry for Shen Yi.

Su Tang was a little confused, but not to the extent of replying to the email asking why. She called her grandmother and followed Chen Guohui's car after work in the afternoon. It wasn't until they arrived at the hotel that she realized the protagonist of this gathering, which had mobilized many heavyweight executives of the Hua Zheng Group, was actually the person who had sent her a pot of begonias on her first day of work.

Shen Yi replied very quickly. Su Tang could almost imagine him using his good-looking fingers to tap the phone screen lightly and smoothly in a spacious and bright place in the city.

Shen Yi has the ability to silently create a scene where everyone is amazed and astonished.

Su Tang took the opportunity while no one was paying attention and silently said to Shen Yi, "You look handsome today."

Shen Yi replied with just two words.

It's been over a week since I last saw Shen Yi. His complexion has improved a lot compared to when he was hospitalized. He was wearing a coffee-colored long-sleeved shirt with the sleeves rolled up to the middle of his forearm, revealing a well-proportioned muscular arm. He stood out among a group of middle-aged men dressed in short-sleeved shirts with a strong sense of leadership.

Shen Yi simply replied with one word.

Su Tang put away his phone, with a stern face, and corrected, "It's 'nan de', not 'nande'."

Su Tang carefully placed the flowers on her own desk, leaned her face towards the flowerpot and silly smiled, took a photo and sent it to Shen Yi.

"Mr. Chen?" Su Tang was momentarily stunned, and her intuition told her that her miraculous admission was directly related to this Mr. Chen. Unable to resist her curiosity, she asked, "Which Mr. Chen?"

Previously, I hurriedly came in without paying attention. In fact, there are one or two plants on the desks of everyone in the office, except for hers, which is bare and lifeless in comparison.

Su Tang thought the next time she would see Shen Yi was when she invited him to dinner, but she didn't expect to see him on Friday night. Although she wasn't the one treating him, it was still because of a meal.

I don't know if it's because the matter of "Dongpo Pork" has already spread throughout the company, or if Lu Xiaoman's words have had a certain psychological effect on her, Su Tang always feels that the eyes of everyone in the office are filled with a strange smile. Fortunately, the office on this floor is divided into large compartments. Su Tang greeted everyone and sat in her own compartment, feeling like she had found a crack to hide in, and instantly felt relieved.

How did he even think of this...

Yes. Lù Xiǎomǎn responded briskly, put away the blush, took out another lipstick, frowned and complained, "My husband looks like a five or six out of ten, but he's actually just good at talking. We were in the same class in college. He relied on luck for exams. He had to review theoretical mechanics three times before passing. He's totally unsuitable for a high-tech position like this, and he doesn't want to come either. It's just my mother-in-law being stubborn..."

Are you busy?

Su Tang gave a harsh gulp and stared blankly at the person who was calmly applying makeup, "So... I took away your husband's admission quota?"

Suddenly, Su Tang saw a scene in front of her that resembled the female protagonist in a idol drama being overwhelmed by a large number of roses, which left her dumbfounded. She panicked and almost dropped her phone.

Su Tang replied with a smile.

In Baidu Baike.

This girl has big eyes and a doll-like face. She is about the same age as her. Her watermelon-red dress stands out in the cold-toned restroom. Su Tang remembered that she was sitting behind a desk near the window in the HR office just now, laughing so hard that she almost couldn't stop.

The smile in Shen Yi's eyes suddenly deepened, and he nodded with satisfaction.

There are still some procedures that need to be handled at the finance department. The office of the finance department is at the other end of the corridor. On the way, passing by the restroom, Su Tang turned in to calm down for a moment. When she came out after washing her hands, a girl next to her who was touching up her makeup suddenly turned her head and smiled at her.

华正's CFO, Chen Guohui... Lu Xiaoman said, looking around the empty restroom mysteriously. She held her eyeshadow palette and winked at Su Tang, lowering her voice but couldn't contain her excitement, "I heard from inside sources that you were personally selected by President Chen and managed to beat the son of another vice president of Huazheng Group at the last minute. It's like a scene from a business war movie, amazing!"

Su Tang lowered his head to look at the flowers in his hand, and smiled with genuine approval.

Ahem, my mother-in-law is the biological mother of the vice president's son.

Su Tang spent almost the entire morning running around between departments to handle paperwork. It wasn't until around noon that she finally settled down in the office on the seventh floor.

Landlord, this is too extravagant!

Su Tang was stunned, Shen Yi sent her a package?

Early that day, she received an internal email in the office automation system. It was signed by Chen Guohui, the CFO of Hua Zheng. Su Tang thought that Mr. Chen couldn't hold back his anger and was going to ask her not to come to work starting next Monday. However, after opening the email, she found out that it was a work notice, inviting her to attend a dinner party with him that evening.

The butt hasn't even warmed up, and the phone vibrated, it was a message from Shen Yi.

Su Tang just feels that Shen Yili is very far away from all the messy things in today's society, so far that she even suspects he may not know about those dirty existences.

Chen Guohui didn't say why he brought her along. Su Tang guessed that it was probably because Shen Yi brought a female assistant. It would be appropriate for Hua Zheng to have a female companion as well.

Are you called Su Tang?

When Su Tang went to the Personnel Department to report on Monday, the people in that office had not forgotten about the incident with Dongpo Pork. When they heard her say her name was Su Tang, they burst into laughter again, until Su Tang finished all the procedures in the Personnel Department and walked out the door, her face still blushing.

What did you send?

Facing such a straightforward and carefree person, Su Tang also felt embarrassed to beat around the bush. She shook her head, turned off the faucet, took out a tissue to wipe her hands, and spoke frankly, "I have only seen him once."

No problem !

Hello, my name is Lu Xiaoman. "Lu" as in Lu Xiaofeng, "Man" as in Huamanlou. I am responsible for doing odd jobs in the HR department.

Could it be that something was dropped at his house that night?

Keep it for now, let's talk when I can eat less restricted, I want to eat something delicious.

When Lu Xiaoman came to call her for lunch, Su Tang just received a reply from Shen Yi.

ーーI sent you a package this morning. It should arrive around lunchtime. The delivery to Huazheng is handled by the reception room. Remember to pick it up.

Su Tang completely overturned the previous judgment. Shen Yi must not be a member of Hua Zheng Group.

However, it was clear to everyone in the room what Shen Yi's identity was. No one mentioned his position and they all referred to him as "Mr. Shen". Qin Jingyao only said she was his assistant. If it weren't for Su Tang seeing Chen Guohui's worried expression in the car, one would have thought it was just a simple gathering of friends.

Su Tang captured some extra information in this highly sincere praise, and couldn't help but ask, "Your mother-in-law is..."

Received, I really like it! Thank you, please have dinner with me tonight.

Since the congratulatory text message last week, Shen Yi has not contacted her again. She has been busy preparing for work and occasionally thinks of this person, but only smiles in her heart and never thought of disturbing him. Suddenly receiving such a text message, Su Tang was somewhat surprised and paused for a moment before replying with a message.

Luxiaoman was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter with a "pu" sound, laughing so hard that he almost rolled on the ground.

"Yes... " Lu Xiaoman put down her eyeshadow palette and took out a box of blush from her makeup bag. While brushing her cheeks in front of the mirror, she said, "I heard it from my mother-in-law. She was still talking about it last night, wondering what got into Mr. Chen... But I actually think Mr. Chen is reliable for once. I've seen your personnel file, and it's clear that you're a technical genius, much better than the vice president's son."

Qin Jingyao spoke with a smile that was neither too deep nor too shallow, skillfully delivering various appropriate pleasantries. Shen Yi simply smiled humbly, shaking hands with everyone in turn. When he reached Su Tang, the corners of his mouth deepened slightly, as if saying, "Long time no see."

Shen Yi's presence should not lead to any mishaps.

She probably never wants to see Dongpo pork again in her life.

Just settled down and was about to tidy up the table. Is there anything you need?

You are really funny! Let's have lunch together at noon. I will come find you at the appointed time. Forget about that Dongpo pork in our cafeteria, but sweet and sour pork is available every day.

A glass begonia full of buds, sold by an elderly flower farmer riding a tricycle on the street for ten yuan per pot.

Su Tang became even more stunned.

Luxiaoman's curiosity was clearly not satisfied, and he continued to ask, "Hey, is Mr. Chen your relative?"

I replaced the son of the deputy general manager of Huazheng.

Okay, I'll wait for you.

It seems that a mistake has really occurred at some point this time. Mr. Chen may be feeling disheveled in the wind on the rooftop at the moment...

Su Tang laughed bitterly at her overly active imagination, and returned to the office holding the flowerpot, feeling both amused and sad. As soon as she entered the room, she was startled.

It's really boring...'' Lu Xiaoman muttered with a pout, "If he's not my boyfriend, it's not worth wasting mealtime on him. Let's go, hurry up, or all that will be left is plain rice. Those geeky guys have no manners when it comes to grabbing food!"

Where are you?

Flower.

ーーNot expensive.

Luxiaoman curiously pulled her arm and said, "You're so happy just by sending a text message. Is he your boyfriend?"

Until Su Tang received the call from the delivery room to sign for it, she finally understood the meaning of Shen Yi's phrase "not expensive". He did send flowers, but not a carload or a bouquet, but a potted plant.

These days, no one's money comes from the wind. If it were easy for him to make money, he wouldn't be thinking about work while being hospitalized due to illness.

Su Tang was amused by her brief self-introduction and felt completely at ease. She decided to let loose and replied with a smile, "My name is Su Tang, the crispy in the crispy pork ribs, the sugar in the sweet and sour pork, and I don't know yet if there's any soy sauce for me to add."

Luxiaoman burst into laughter again, and her big eyes, with warm-colored eyeshadow, curved into two arcs. "You're really funny! Hua hasn't met someone so interesting in a long time. No wonder Mr. Chen insists on having you around!"

Perhaps for the sake of convenience in conversation, Shen Yi's assistant was also present. Chen Guohui seemed to have a good relationship with her, calling her "Xiao Qin" when they met. It was not until Su Tang heard her introduce herself to the others that she caught her full name: Qin Jingyao.
