Secretary Lin: "Do you know what qualities an excellent secretary needs to possess?"
The man paused for a moment, then shook his head.
Secretary Lin looked at Yan Shenyu's retreating figure and said with a profound expression, "Do what you are supposed to do quickly, and don't even glance at what is not your business."
In the office, Xie Siyan was stunned for a long time after seeing the message Yan Shenyu sent.
So I decided to come and talk to you in person.
Yan Shenyu is coming to find him? But he probably doesn't even know who he is.
Just as he was thinking this, the office door was pushed open from the outside. Xie Siyan looked up and immediately shoved his phone onto the table in a panic, like a student caught using their phone in class.
"You," Xie Siyan cleared his throat and said calmly, "what brings you here?"
"Weren't you just chatting happily with me? How come you've forgotten so quickly?" Yan Shenyu walked straight to his desk, a half-smile on his face. "Of course I'm here to buy a house from you, Mr. S."
"Uh..." Xie Siyan looked up somewhat guiltily: "You knew everything?"
Yan Shenyu crossed her arms and looked down at him: "Is lying to me fun?"
Xie Siyan immediately shook his head.
Yan Shenyu, however, did not believe it, her beautiful eyes fixed on him.
Xie Siyan has experienced many important moments in his life: being sent to his grandmother's house by his busy parents when he was a child, his first interview when he applied to university as a young man, and his first roadshow after founding Wildfire Technology.
He also experienced the departure of company veterans, betrayal by partners, and even the precarious crisis of chip restrictions...
But never before had he felt so helpless.
He had a clear plan for dealing with all the difficulties ahead. He knew the reasons, the weaknesses of each party, and how to respond.
He could not see through Yan Shenyu.
The moment he saw him, his mind became lightheaded, and he no longer wanted to think according to his usual principles. His heart raced uncontrollably, forcibly squeezing into the other's hand, willingly surrendering to his control.
After meeting Yan Shenyu, all my previous work experience became useless.
When Xie Siyan, experiencing his first crush, stood before his beloved and was being gazed upon, he felt like a naked infant.
He opened his mouth, trying to explain: "I didn't lie to you, I just..."
Yan Shenyu: "Just what?"
Xie Siyan wanted to say, I just want to live with you, I want to hold you when I sleep at night, I want to see you when I wake up every morning, I want to kiss your body in every corner of the room...
But no, it can't be that fast.
Xie Siyan clenched his fists, his jaw tightened, and he desperately restrained his impulse.
That day in the hotel, he almost kissed him in the dark.
He clearly remembered Yan Shenyu's surprise and panic.
Not now, he'll scare him.
Xie Siyan had many sweet words to say.
But in the end, he simply lowered his head and said, "I have nothing to say."
Yan Shenyu stared at him silently for a long time, then quietly left without saying a word.
After sitting in the office for a full ten minutes, Xie Siyan finally dialed the internal line and instructed, "Secretary Lin, go and complete the formalities to transfer my house to Yan Shenyu."
"Huh?" Secretary Lin was clearly taken aback. "You're just going to give it to him like this? Isn't that a bit inappropriate?"
Xie Siyan insisted: "Do as I say."
Secretary Lin said no more and turned to leave.
Half an hour later, Yan Shenyu called.
"Xie Siyan, are you out of your mind?" Yan Shenyu's incredulous voice rang out, "You gave me such an expensive house for no reason, and this is how you see me?!"
This time, Yan Shenyu hung up the phone abruptly before he could explain.
In that instant, Xie Siyan suddenly understood why Hei Yun was so excited when he saw Xiao Bai, and he gradually understood Hei Yun's feelings of wanting but not being able to have her.
A sense of camaraderie arose between the man and his horse across the distance. Xie Siyan asked someone from the equestrian club to take a picture of Black Cloud's miserable state, but the other party sent a picture of Black Cloud and Little White running side by side on the grass, looking quite happy.
Xie Siyan: "..."
But in the small group chat, Xiang Yu was still wailing: "I'm finally back in China, everyone come and run a marathon!"
Fu Jingran: "No, I'm in a relationship, I don't have time."
Xiang Yu tagged Xie Siyan in the group chat again: "Old Xie, come here. Didn't you ask me to go horse racing before? Now that I'm back, don't be rude."
Xie Siyan: "No, I'm heartbroken and don't have time."
Xiang Yu: "??"
Fu Jingran: "??"
"What happened to you?" Fu Jingran messaged Xie Siyan privately. "You two were doing fine before, how come you suddenly broke up? Did Yan Shenyu reject you?"
"They haven't rejected me yet."
After thinking for a moment, he added, "But I made him angry."
Fu Jingran: "..."
"Apologize if you upset someone, and try to win them back first. Even a stray dog on the street knows that!"
Xie Siyan: "I tried to coax him, but he got even angrier."
Fu Jingran: "How did you coax him?"
Xie Siyan said in a serious tone, "I wanted to transfer my large apartment in the city center to him, but not only did he refuse, he also called and scolded me."
Fu Jingran: "..."
"I'm speechless. What's your relationship? You're not related at all, so why would he accept such a huge gift from you?"
Xie Siyan: "That's what he said too."
“Simply giving gifts is a form of keeping someone as a sugar daddy,” Fu Jingran said earnestly. “To truly like someone, you have to spend time and put your heart into it. Do you understand?”
Xie Siyan: "My heart has long since gone to him."
"Well……"
"That's so tacky," Fu Jingran said with a look of disgust. "Don't tell him that, or he'll never want to be with you again in his next life."
Xie Siyan: "..."
...
Over the next few days, Yan Shenyu did not contact Xie Siyan again, burying herself in jewelry design in her studio.
During this time, he saw two news items that caught his attention. One was that the city had recently arrested a drug trafficking gang, which was suspected of using a large number of new variant date rape drugs, including the same drug that Xie Xiaoling had given him.
Another piece of news is fashion. At the Sotheby's auction a couple of days ago, an anonymous buyer from China bought the world's largest pink diamond for a record-breaking 300 million RMB.
As a jewelry designer, Yan Shenyu naturally couldn't resist such a rare pink diamond, but unfortunately, the estimated price was far beyond his budget, so he didn't even go to the auction.
This weekend, the lucky netizen who had participated in the live stream lottery came to Beijing.
Yan Shenyu personally drove to the airport to pick him up. Only when he saw him did he realize that this lucky audience member had pink hair and was actually Wang Zichen, whom he had met in Haishi.
"It's you?" Yan Shenyu smiled. "I didn't expect you to be so lucky."
"Hehe, this is fate! When my colleagues heard I was coming, they were all envious of me." Wang Zichen scratched the back of his head and pulled out a bouquet of flowers from behind him. "Xiao Yan, these are for you!"
Yan Shenyu was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and accepted the flowers: "Thank you, this should have been given to you by me."
The boy didn't stand on ceremony and said with a smile, "It's a deal then, you'll give me a bouquet later!"
"Okay, I'll buy you some after we eat," Yan Shenyu said, placing the flowers on the back seat and helping the child into the car. "What would you like to eat? Crayfish? Or something else?"
Wang Zichen sat excitedly in the passenger seat and nodded obediently: "Crayfish is fine."
It was lunchtime, and a long line had already formed outside the restaurant. After giving the waiter the last few digits of her phone number, Yan Shenyu led Wang Zichen to their reserved table.
He initially thought it was just a regular dinner with friends, until he saw the young man sitting next to him...
Why did Xie Siyan follow me here?
Unfortunately, their two-person table was a small table, very close to the table next to it, so at first glance, it seemed like they were basically eating together.
Yan Shenyu's forehead twitched, and he turned his head to say, "Waiter, I'm sorry, I'd like to change seats."
"I'm sorry," the waiter apologized with a smile, "there are still many people waiting outside, and we don't have any seats available inside."
"What's wrong?" Wang Zichen asked, puzzled.
"It's nothing." Yan Shenyu forced a smile and nodded to Wang Zichen. "Let's sit here."
Originally, he was supposed to sit with Xie Siyan in his current position. But Yan Shenyu said to Wang Zichen, "Shall we switch seats?"
Wang Zichen had no objections. He was so excited about having dinner with Yan Shenyu that he was dizzy with excitement.
Yan Shenyu and Wang Zichen switched seats, but unexpectedly, as soon as he sat down, Xie Siyan next to him also moved to the same side.
Yan Shenyu: "..."
Wang Zichen was taken aback, then noticed their interaction and asked hesitantly, "And who is this?"
"A stranger."
"I am his assistant."
Two voices spoke at the same time.
Wang Zichen: ?
They exchanged a glance, and Yan Shenyu said helplessly, "My assistant was fired because she was too stupid."
How could Xiao Yan fire such a handsome assistant? Honestly, this assistant is way too tall and handsome, isn't he? And he has such a strong presence. Wang Zichen, naturally gentle, became very cautious even when speaking to this assistant.
The crayfish were served quickly, and Wang Zichen took a flurry of photos of the dishes. He also "inadvertently" and "accidentally" snapped a picture of Yan Shenyu across from him, noting her long, slender, and fair hands, her slim and upright figure, and her smiling eyes...
Was the surreptitious filming discovered?
Wang Zichen felt inexplicably guilty and quickly put his phone away in fright.
"Don't be afraid," Yan Shenyu said with a smile, "You can take as many pictures as you want. Want to take a group photo?"
