Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Shen Yanqing had originally planned to leave for Country M before his birthday. He celebrated his birthday on time every year, but it was not ostentatious. The most lively time was when he had a meal with a few friends.
However, now that he had Nan Ge, he decided to postpone it for a day. He planned to leave after his birthday.
The day before his birthday, the president’s office of Huasheng Group found out that Shen Yanqing was celebrating his birthday. Everyone got excited and wanted to treat him to a meal.
It was rare for an employee to treat their boss to a meal.
If it were any other boss, no one would have dared to do this. After Shen Yanqing found out, he understood everyone’s intentions, but he still rejected them immediately.
“I’m good, but thank you. It will rain tonight. Get off work and go back early.”
Even when he rejected someone, he was still so gentle and kind. This was also the biggest reason why everyone liked Shen Yanqing so much.
There were not many newcomers in the president’s office. They were basically old employees who had worked for Shen Yanqing for years. At first, everyone was worried that this up-and-coming entrepreneur would make things difficult for them.
However, reality proved that as long as people did their jobs well, this boss would never find fault with them.
Because everyone was in the president’s office, they were considered the group of people who had the most contact with Shen Yanqing in Huasheng Group. They could see what Shen Yanjing was like most directly.
Over time, everyone understood that dignified businessmen like Shen Yanqing were often very approachable.
After working in Huasheng Group for so long, they had never seen Shen Yanqing fly into a rage. It was a miracle that he rarely got angry. Occasionally, he would get angry only if major mistakes happened at work.
Even so, he was never like other leaders and bosses who would point at their noses and scold them. He would not smash things and embarrass his employees in public either.
Even when Shen Yanqing was angry, he was very gentle. He would take off his glasses, rub his sore brows, and sigh helplessly. He would be silent for a while and correct the problem without smiling. However, he would not say anything harsh from the beginning to the end.
It was also because of this that they dared to offer to buy their boss dinner. After knowing him for so long, Shen Yanqing had never mentioned his birthday. Assistant Yuan knew about it, but because it involved privacy, he did not dare to reveal it casually.
They found out today because Shen Yanqing had mentioned it when he booked the restaurant.
Seeing that he refused, everyone shot Assistant Yuan a look.
Everyone was eyeing Assistant Yuan to say something, so he had no choice. He walked to Shen Yanqing with a smile. “President Shen, everyone wants to express their gratitude to you. Why don’t you give us the chance?
Miaomiao stepped up to help. “That’s right, President Shen. It’s your birthday tomorrow and you’re going on a date with Miss Nan tomorrow. We know this very well and wouldn’t dare to disturb you then, so we arranged to meet tonight!”
Two people in Huasheng Group’s presidential office were very good at talking. One was Assistant Yuan, and the other was the secretary, Miaomiao.
How good were they at talking? During the company’s annual party, there was a standing program and it was their crosstalk.
They performed every year and it was always a huge success.
The moment they started talking and echoing each other, Shen Yanqing could not bear to say no. He smiled helplessly and agreed.
“Don’t bother giving me gifts. Let’s just eat together. If anyone tries to give me anything, I won’t eat with you guys in the future.”
His relaxed tone made everyone laugh.
When they discovered it was Shen Yanqing’s birthday, a few department managers also clamored to join. How could they miss the perfect opportunity to suck up to their boss? In the end, many higher-ups went.
The two big tables in the private room were full.
With other leaders around, this meal was destined to be unusual.
As expected, after the dishes were served, the leaders stood up.
Shen Yanqing did not drink and there were female employees present, coupled with the fact that it was raining very late, no one ordered alcohol tonight. It was indeed just dinner.
However, this did not stop those older people at all. They wanted to toast Shen Yanqing with tea instead of wine before settling down to eat. They congratulated him fluidly one after another. Shen Yanjing did not stop them. He knew that these seniors liked doing this the most, so he did not dampen their “interest.”
Perhaps the tea was filled with alcohol. At first, the congratulatory words were quite serious. Eventually, someone said, “I wish you a blissful marriage. May you have lovely kids…” His voice stopped abruptly, probably because he realized that he had memorized the lyrics.
As soon as the words came out, someone burst out laughing. The person saying congratulatory words stood awkwardly on the spot, holding a cup of tea and blushing.
Shen Yanqing was not angry. He smiled and gave the other party a way out. “I like this toast very much, but I can only accept half of it now. I’ll have to trouble you to send the other half to my wedding with Miss Nan.”
The other party heaved a sigh of relief and agreed repeatedly.
His words made everyone go into a commotion. Everyone in the president’s office knew Nan Ge. Although the other senior leaders had never seen Nan Ge in person and did not know her background, they had heard of her.
In short, their boss was indeed in a relationship with Miss Nan and this was all they knew. They did not dare to ask further. No matter how curious they were, they could only ask the others in the president’s office in private.
Ignoring the commotion, Shen Yanqing took a sip of tea and moistened his throat. He said calmly, “Thank you for your kind words. Let’s eat. The dishes will turn cold soon.”
As he spoke, he did not notice that the phone screen on the table had lit up.
Because it was on silent mode, Shen Yanqing did not notice it immediately. The manager closest to him looked at the caller ID and was stunned.
[Baby Penguin]
“President Shen, you have a call. It’s… from Baby Penguin…” His voice became softer while he spoke as if he was shocked by the caller ID.
The others were the same.
Such an intimate and cute name. Erm…
President Shen wrote such an adorable caller ID in his phone book.
Well…
While they reeled in shock, Shen Yanqing gestured for them to be quiet with a normal expression. His other hand had already picked up the phone. Soon, they heard their boss’s voice turn even gentler than usual. Even his voice was slightly raised at the end of each word.
“Yes, it’s still raining. It’s a little heavier than before. Did you see the photo I took for you? I took it on the way here. I happened to pass by Huai South
Middle Road.”
Everyone fell silent and stared at the man in the main seat in a daze.
Shen Yanqing had always had a gentle image and treated everyone the same. But now, they realized that there were exceptions.
The man lowered his eyes. This could not hide his current mood.
It was an indescribable state that they had never seen before.
He enjoyed her presence, doted on her, and also relied on her.
They did not know what the person on the phone said, but they saw Shen
Yanqing raise his eyebrows slightly and chuckle. “I didn’t drink. Really. I didn’t order any, and they didn’t drink either.. Shall I give you a video call?”
