With My Profound Love, I Offer to the Years

Chapter 103

"Sister Shen, this is the data you asked me to organize. Please take a look and see if it's okay."

Shen Nian received the folder handed over by the employee and reviewed it carefully.

"It's fine." After going through it, Shen Nian instructed the employee, "Make thirty copies of this file. We'll need them this afternoon."

As she was about to return the folder, she thought of something and said, "Never mind, I'll do it myself."

"Yes, Sister Shen." The employee nodded.

Shen Nian took the file to the copy room, placed it on the photocopier, pressed a few buttons, and the printer started working, gradually spitting out papers below.

An employee came out of the pantry, holding a tray with more than a dozen cups of tea, water, and beverages.

She placed the tray on the table, "Take your drinks, everyone. Lulu, here's your black tea. Xiao Ya, your fruit juice."

About a dozen people got up to take their drinks.

Shen Nian leaned against the printer, watching them gather around, her lips curving slightly.

There were less than five minutes left before the break, so she allowed them to relax a little occasionally.

After watching for a moment, Shen Nian turned her gaze back to the printer, monitoring the papers coming out.

"Sister Shen." Someone called out to Shen Nian. She looked up to see an employee walking over and saying, "Your coffee."

After a pause, she added, "No sugar."

Shen Nian smiled, "Thank you."

She took the coffee handed over by the employee and took a sip.

Not a single grain of sugar, and the bitterness of the coffee spread in her mouth.

Shen Nian used to like adding a little sugar to her coffee, but now she increasingly preferred this natural bitterness.

Bitterness in her mouth helped her temporarily forget the bitterness in her heart.

There was a sound from the elevator entrance as Liang Jinghe emerged from the elevator.

She was wearing a white dress today, which made her look exceptionally gentle.

Carrying her bag, she walked over and greeted everyone enthusiastically, "Long time no see, everyone."

Previously, Liang Jinghe had treated everyone to drinks, and she had a friendly demeanor, so the employees at Lingrui Group had a particularly good impression of her.

It was almost lunchtime, plus the "future lady boss" was inspecting, so everyone was a bit more relaxed.

"Hello, Ms. Liang."

"Ms. Liang, your dress looks beautiful today."

"Thank you." Liang Jinghe smiled modestly.

"..." Upon hearing Liang Jinghe's voice, Shen Nian paused in the middle of drinking her coffee.

She initially wanted to pretend she didn't hear it, but Liang Jinghe noticed her standing by the printer.

"Shen Assistant."

"..." Shen Nian froze for a second, but when she raised her head, her expression had returned to normal.

She always maintained a serious and proper attitude in front of Liang Jinghe, so there was no need to force a smile. Her expression was cold as she held the coffee cup, giving Liang Jinghe a slight nod as a greeting.

After Liang Jinghe returned a smile, she shifted her gaze and continued speaking to everyone, "I've booked the French restaurant downstairs. Would you all like to join me for lunch?"

These words immediately elicited cheers from everyone, perfectly timed as it was lunchtime.

"Thank you, Ms. Liang!"

Everyone exclaimed in unison.

The joy evident on their faces showed that they were truly delighted.

They all knew the French restaurant downstairs, which had rather high prices. Usually, a meal would only cost a few dozen yuan for a simple dish, or they could eat for free at the company cafeteria. For a more lavish meal, a few people might pool together for a hotpot and spend two or three hundred yuan. But at the French restaurant downstairs, even just to fill their stomachs, the cost would be at least 500 yuan per person.

Liang Jinghe had booked the entire French restaurant to treat them to lunch, demonstrating her generosity and magnanimity.

Seeing how happy everyone was, Liang Jinghe turned to Shen Nian, "Shen Assistant, is the French restaurant okay? If you don't like it, we can change to somewhere else."

"Don't worry about me." Shen Nian's tone remained unenthusiastic, "There's a meeting this afternoon, and I need to personally oversee the content, so I was planning on skipping lunch to work. You all enjoy your meal."

"Work is important, but eating is also crucial." Liang Jinghe showed disapproval, then added, "Besides, today's lunch is mainly an invitation for you."

"For me?" Shen Nian frowned.

If she wasn't mistaken, she and Liang Jinghe hadn't interacted much, and their relationship hadn't reached the point where Liang Jinghe would invite her to lunch.

"Yes." Recalling something, Liang Jinghe showed a sweet smile, "There's something I need Shen Assistant and everyone's help with, especially from you, Shen Assistant. If you're unwilling to help me, I'll be quite troubled."

"I don't think I have such capabilities." Her voice remained indifferent, "If there's anything you need me to do, Ms. Liang, please let me know. I'll certainly help if I can."

After saying that, she lowered her gaze and took another sip of coffee.

Liang Jinghe smiled brilliantly, "It's actually not a big deal. I just need you all to help set the scene."

It was already past working hours, and no one had left. Everyone was listening to what Liang Jinghe had to say.

Liang Jinghe looked at everyone and spoke with a smile, "Mr. Lu will be back this Friday, and I want... to confess my feelings to him that day. I hope you all can be there to support me. What do you say?"

"Wow!" Everyone was excited, as if they had just stumbled upon a juicy piece of gossip.

Shen Nian's hand trembled violently, spilling much of the coffee and burning her fingers.

Her eyelashes fluttered intensely as she struggled to control her abnormal breathing.

"Ms. Liang, you're so beautiful and polite. It should be our Mr. Lu confessing to you instead."

Perhaps because the future lady boss was so friendly, and it was already after working hours, the employees were becoming bolder.

Upon hearing this, Liang Jinghe shook her head in disagreement, "Who says surprises can only come from men? As long as you like someone, you can give them a little surprise."

Liang Jinghe's eyes curved into a smile, "Everyone has worked hard this morning. Let's go eat first?"

"Yes!"

Everyone responded in unison. Some had already tidied up and taken the elevator downstairs to wait.

Jiang Lingling closed her computer, picked up her phone, and walked over to Shen Nian, inviting her, "Sister Shen, let's go together."

Shen Nian stared at the printer that hadn't finished spitting out papers and declined, "No need, you all go ahead."

Li Nan happened to come over. She didn't know the relationship between Shen Nian, Lu Lingchuan, and Liang Jinghe, and only assumed that Shen Nian was too dedicated to her work. She casually advised, "Come on, Shen. No matter how important the work is, you still need to eat. You said yourself that you'll be busy this afternoon. If you don't even eat lunch, how will you have the energy to work properly in the afternoon?"

"No need..."

"You really are in a hurry. Let's hurry up and eat. After we're done eating, we can come back, right? Since someone else is paying, we might as well eat. Don't you think so?" Before Shen Nian could finish speaking, Li Nan continued.

Jiang Lingling, who was equally clueless about what was going on, nodded in agreement, "Yeah, yeah, that's right."

The two of them grabbed Shen Nian, one on each side, and started walking.

"Come on, let's go. It won't take too much time just to have a meal."

Without giving Shen Nian a chance to speak, the two of them dragged her away.
