After President Li received the internal call, he came downstairs immediately.
“Oh my, President Shen. What’s gotten into you recently? Every now and then, you go missing. Have you become so rich that you stopped working during the
President Li was from the capital. He had just pushed open the door but before he could be seen, his kind greeting with the capital’s accent could already be heard.
There was no anger on Shen Yanqing’s face. He stood up and gestured for him to sit on the sofa with a smile.
The two of them were old friends. They had known each other since Shen Yanqing first returned to the country. President Li usually stayed at the capital branch office and rarely came to the group headquarters.
However. he had a collaboration with Feivun Technologv in the caDital recently. It was quite important. President Li had been flying between the capital and Huai City for this matter recently.
“My girlfriend came over today.” Shen Yanqing’s expression did not change at his friend’s teasing.
Upon hearing this, President Li was amused. “No wonder. The moment she came, you were all focused on her. Why don’t we have dinner tonight? I’ve never seen her before.”
At the engagement party, President Li happened to be on a business trip overseas. Although he had seen Nan Ge’s photos and legends, he had never had the chance to see her in person.
“I’ll ask her later.” Shen Yanqing did not agree immediately.
After the two of them finished talking about work, Shen Yanqing called Nan Ge.
On the other end of the phone, Nan Ge was still asleep.
When she heard that she was going to eat with his friend, she woke up from her sleep. “Sure. What time is it?”
“Seven o’clock. Don’t drive anymore. I’ll get Gao to pick you up.”
At night, Nan Ge saw Assistant Yuan waiting at the door as soon as she got out of the car.
President Li was not the only one at the dinner today. There were two other higher-ups, so Assistant Yuan had to be there too.
“They’ve been waiting a long time, haven’t they?”
The two of them went in together. Assistant Yuan led the way and shook his head. “No, they just arrived. Recently, we are working on a project with someone located in the capital. It’s a little tricky. They even had an emergency meeting around six o’clock.”
“The capital?” Nan Ge quickly caught on. “Could it be…”
She frowned, worried that it had something to do with Shen Yanqings mother.
Assistant Yuan reacted quickly. “No, this collaboration is with Feiyun Technology in the capital. However, you probably haven’t heard of it. This company has just been established.”
“I see.”
In the private room on the top floor, Nan Ge followed Assistant Yuan. Before she walked past the screen, she heard the people inside discussing Feiyun Technology.
“President Li, you made the professor of Feiyun Technology sound so brilliant. I think we can try to poach him, right? Whatever Feiyun offers him, Huasheng can also give it to him.”
The person called President Li quickly waved his hand. “I’ve already talked to
President Shen about this early in the morning. We can’t provoke Feiyun.” “What do you mean?”
“I don’t know the truth either.” President Li lowered his voice and reminded the other person mysteriously. “However, Feiyun Technology appeared so suddenly. In just half a year, a small company could quickly establish itself in the capital. You don’t have to think to know that it’s not simple.”
“It’s tough to survive in the capital, but the company managed to gain a foothold there. How do you think they managed to pull this off huh?”
“I’ve asked someone in private. We definitely can’t poach them. We can only try to talk about cooperation. Their chip is really something. You have to believe me. Now is definitely the best time to cooperate.”
“But we’ve already agreed to work with them, right?”
“If you approved the project earlier, would I have to fly back and forth so many times? President Shen, you’re the same. This is such an important matter. Instead of working on it, you even had the time to fly to Shen City for a trip when you had a fever.”
“Shen City?”
A female voice suddenly sounded. The people present were so startled that they quickly fell silent and looked in the direction of the voice.
“Oh my. This, this must be Sister-in-Law, right?”
It was not the first time she had been called that. Although she was still a little shy, Nan Ge still replied graciously, “Hello, my name is Nan Ge. I’m Shen Yanqing’s girlfriend.”
Shen Yanqing brought her over and corrected her. “She’s my fiancée.”
“Ah.” Nan Ge blinked and smiled in embarrassment. “Yes, I’m his fiancée.” President Li was very good at lauding praise.
Nan Ge could not stop smiling. Seeing that they were chatting happily, Shen Yanqing heaved a sigh of relief.
After a while, someone suddenly tugged at Shen Yanqing’s sleeve.
He looked down at the hand under the table.
Nan Ge was still looking straight ahead with a proper smile on her face. A faint breath escaped her lips. “When did you go to Shen City? And when did you have a fever? Why didn’t I know?”
The two of them had only been separated for a few days since they returned from the northeast.
They contacted each other every day. Why didn’t she know that Shen Yanqing had a fever and had gone out of the city?
“When you and your friends went on a trip.” Shen Yanqing knew that he could not hide it and said truthfully, “When I sent you back that day, I had a fever, but it was not that serious. It was just a minor cold.”
“What about Shen City? Which young lady did you go to see?”
If he had gone on a business trip, President Li would not have mentioned it.
Therefore, Shen Yanqing was definitely not there to do anything work-related.
Shen Yanqing was speechless for a moment. After a while, he said, “Auntie Wang told me that you’ve been feeling unwell since you came back from the temple on the mountain. She suggested that I go to the temple to burn incense and pay my respects again. She was afraid that you might have encountered something unclean when you went down the mountain.”
‘ Nan Ge was not superstitious and did not understand metaphysics, so she was a little surprised to hear this. “I didn’t know.”
“So you went?”
“Yes, I did.”
“Then what does this have to do with Shen City?”
“I heard that there’s a master there who’s very powerful.”
“But your cold hasn’t recovered yet, right?” Nan Ge glared at him. Her lips parted and closed again, feeling angry and worried.
Speaking of this, there was a hint of smugness in the man’s eyes. “Thinking about it, it’s still useful. The night you had a high fever, it subsided the next morning. ”
Of course, this was just a joke. Nan Ge’s recovery was still thanks to the doctor.
“That’s why you went so far with a fever.”
“There are other reasons for the trip.” Shen Yanqing grabbed her hand and gently rubbed his thumb against the back of her hand.
“What is it?” Nan Ge leaned over curiously.
The man turned his head to avoid her gaze. “I’m not telling you now.”
Nan Ge,
On the way back, Assistant Yuan sat in the front passenger seat. When he saw new messages from the president’s office, he turned around and wanted to discuss them with Shen Yanqing. Before he could say anything, he was attracted by the object in the man’s hand.
In the backseat, Nan Ge was sleeping soundly with her penguin doll in her arms. Beside her, with the help of the weak light, Shen Yanqing lowered his head and wrapped a few red ropes around his fingertips with a serious expression.
He had sneciallv gotten his hands on this red rnne from Shen C.itv After a week of study, the bracelet had already taken shape..
