Chapter 24
Rooting For Them
“…”
As soon as Shen Yanqing finished speaking, the people around him could only be described as dumbfounded.
During this period of time, Nan Ge had become friends with everyone because she often came to deliver food to the president of Huasheng Group.
It was a good place to discuss gossip in the office.
Everyone was paying attention to President Shen and Nan Ge.
There were even people betting on when the two of them would be together.
When did Nan Ge have a boyfriend? Could someone tell them?
Assistant Yuan, who had always been a professional at managing his expressions, was dumbfounded when he heard this heavy news.
“How… how could that be?” He stammered. “M-Miss Nan Ge… she only stopped delivering food to us for a few days. How could she start dating someone so quickly? That’s impossible, right?”
Before anything had happened between them, it was inexplicably over. He was really rooting for them.
Shen Yanqing did not see the expressions on the faces of the people behind him.
He moved his index finger on the back of the phone and pushed it hard where no one could see.
Two seconds later, he did not answer the question. Instead, he returned the phone to Assistant Yuan and said in a normal tone, “It’s getting late. Let’s go.”
Assistant Yuan quickly took the phone and looked up to see that Shen Yanqing had already walked out.
Although the man was sick, his posture was still upright. His long legs strode forward steadily.
Miaomiao took the opportunity to lean forward and ask softly, “What exactly is going on? Is that person really Nan Ge’s boyfriend?”
Assistant Yuan clicked his tongue and suddenly had mixed feelings. “Looking at President Shen’s reaction, I guess so.”
They had worked for Shen Yanqing for a long time, but they had never seen him so evasive.
He had always been a patient person. No matter what others asked, he would answer them one by one. His voice was neither fast nor slow.
This time, he did not say anything in the end…
“It’s only been a few days since I last saw Nan Ge. How can that be?” Miaomiao felt that something was wrong. “Besides, that man was so fierce to Nan Ge just now. It doesn’t look like they are dating.”
Logically speaking, if Nan Ge had just gotten together with this man, they would definitely be at the clingy stage.
Who would talk to their girlfriend so aggressively when they just got together? It was as if they had eaten gunpowder.
He looked impatient when he made the call.
How could they be dating? He was more like a debtor.
Then again…
“There’s another possibility…”
“What?” Assistant Yuan looked over.
He felt that a woman’s sixth sense tended to be accurate. Perhaps she could give him a different perspective.
Miaomiao rubbed her chin and voiced out her thoughts. “That man looks like a man from a rich family and looks undisciplined. His outfit is also expensive from head to toe. Even his collar clip costs this much.”
She quietly stretched out five fingers.
“Doesn’t Nan Ge need money? Is it possible that he is her sugar daddy?”
In Huai City, it was common for rich young men to play sugar daddies with female university students.
“Shut up!” Assistant Yuan’s expression changed. He picked up the document in his hand and knocked it on her head.
Miaomiao was in pain and retorted softly, “I’m just guessing!”
“If President Shen hears this, you’re dead meat!”
“I don’t think Nan Ge is that kind of girl either, but how else can you explain the scene earlier? Don’t you think that would make the most sense?”
Every time Nan Ge went to deliver food, Miaomiao would bring Nan Ge snacks and drinks immediately.
There was no doubt that she liked Nan Ge very much, and she did not want to think that way.
“Or was Nan Ge deceived?” Thinking of Nan Ge’s silly face, Miaomiao was a little worried.
“Forget it.” Special Assistant Yuan could not figure it out either. “Let’s not make wild guesses.”
“Judging from the look on President Shen’s face, just pretend that you don’t know Nan Ge from now on. Don’t mention the name, especially in front of him.”
Miaomiao held the tablet and could not help but sigh. “What a pity. It was rare for him to like someone, but it was over before they could even start. What a huge misfortune for him.”
Assistant Yuan, “…”
On the other side, Nan Ge followed her brother’s instructions and quickly bought a new phone. At the same time, she bought a new SIM card.
During dinner, Nan Ge logged into WeChat and sighed. “The previous chat records are all gone.”
She found Shen Yanqing’s WeChat and opened it. Sure enough, it was blank.
Sigh.
“Don’t worry about it, okay?” Su Hui picked up two pieces of fatty beef for her. “Look on the bright side. You have a new phone now. Out with the old and in with the new, right?”
Hearing this, Nan Ge nodded. “That’s true. Also, for the first time, my brother sent me more money.”
She carefully calculated the money in her little stash and noted she was another big step closer to the new car.
After lunch, they did not wander around and returned to school as soon as possible.
——
Nan Zhe had just arrived at the hotel. After changing his clothes and chatting with others, a notion emerged in his mind.
...
The man who had been watching him at the airport.
“Shen… Yanqing?”
When the friend behind him heard this name, he could not help but look up. “How did you know that Shen Yanqing was also attending the banquet?”
Nan Zhe turned around. “He’s really here?”
“I don’t know if he’s here yet, but I got word in advance that he’ll definitely be there tomorrow night.”
Now, Nan Zhe was even more certain.
“Then the man I saw at the airport was probably him.”
“You came together? Were you on the same
Nan Zhe did not notice this. “I only saw him when I got off the plane. I was wondering why he looked so familiar.”
“Hey, didn’t you guys meet before? Didn’t he recognize you?”
“I don’t know.” Nan Zhe shrugged. “We’ve only met once and never spoke.”
...
“Then why do you keep thinking about him?”
“It’s not that I always remember him. It’s my unlucky sister.”
At the mention of Nan Ge, Nan Zhe was speechless.
“Youyou?”
“Yes, it was quite the coincidence. The girl has been working part-time at the restaurant recently. She even delivered food to Shen Yanqing. I asked the restaurant yesterday and they confirmed Huasheng Group has been ordering food from them recently. He even asked Nan Ge to deliver it.”
“…”
“Hehe. When I first found out, my expression was the same as yours.”
They were equally surprised.
“And?”
“Then?” He snorted coldly. “That silly girl keeps saying Shen Yanqing is a good man. I think she’s most likely charmed by him.”
His friend recalled carefully. “Well, Shen Yanqing’s reputation in the circle is indeed very good. At least for so many years, I haven’t heard any rumors or gossip about him. No one seems to have said anything bad about him.”
“Bullshit. He managed to climb to his current position at such a young age. Do you really think he’s an innocent little white flower?” Nan Zhe did not listen to this. “He’s eight years older than Nan Ge. If Nan Ge meets him, she’ll only end up played.”
“With that pig brain of hers, even if she was sold, she would still foolishly count the money for others. She might even have to pay $200 in the end.”
