Zuo Baixuan, who was being held by Jiang Lingdan, did not respond.
Lately, Jiang Lingdan has been constantly talking about Luan Yenan, and she's gotten tired of responding to her.
Chen Huanyu, who was standing to the side, offered an objective analysis: "This kind of investment is positive and profitable in order to make employees more motivated."
Jiang Lingdan knew that Chen Huanyu was answering seriously and not just arguing, so she used her other hand to hold Chen Huanyu's arm as well: "I see. Then I'll use another word: Luan Yenan is a clever capitalist."
Chen Huanyu's reaction was also quite interesting.
It's like another switching mode.
Her ears turned red first, and then she started walking with her hands and feet moving in unison.
The senior student is really fun.
No matter how many times I try to hold her arm, she always does the same thing, but she never refuses.
Zuo Baixuan noticed that Jiang Lingdan, who had been rambling on, hadn't continued, so she glanced at her and saw that she was staring at Chen Huanyu with a smile, so she breathed a sigh of relief.
It's good that Jiang Lingdan has someone else to follow.
The three of them arrived at the cafeteria.
The meals that each person selected the day before in the company's cloud backend have already been placed at their assigned seats.
"Why is there an extra serving? Senior, you're eating so much?" Jiang Lingdan pulled Zuo Baixuan to sit down, and they saw two set meals on the opposite side of the table.
Chen Huanyu took her share and pushed the other one aside.
It's obviously not hers.
But Jiang Lingdan felt something was wrong; Chen Huanyu's behavior was too strange.
Chen Huanyu's dislike of interacting with people was fully displayed during this period.
Even though she was the group leader, she rarely communicated with others. Most of the time, she would ask Jiang Lingdan and Zuo Baixuan to relay messages, or convey them online with the fewest words possible.
That style is exactly the same as the sugar daddy's.
It's true that great people often have similarities.
So, the fact that Chen Huanyu didn't take the extra lunchbox away or push it away, but instead placed it next to her, opposite Zuo Baixuan, suggests there's only one truth!
“The rainbow was beautiful yesterday,” Luan Yenan’s voice rang out.
For Zuo Baixuan, it is the left channel.
The sound also carried a cool, faint fragrance.
It was the perfume scent that Zuo Baixuan often smelled on Luan Yenan after her pheromones were completely shut down.
Zuo Baixuan's pores opened immediately, and heat surged out from her body.
Then everything went blurry.
Sure enough, it was Luan Yenan.
She wore her favorite black outfit, accented with purple, and her makeup, somewhere between formal and casual, exuded a dangerous allure.
His face looked a little travel-worn, but that added a touch of messy beauty.
Zuo Baixuan's gaze carefully lingered on Luan Yenan's brows.
Luan Yenan caught the flash of surprise in Zuo Baixuan's eyes, which she then gradually suppressed. She was very satisfied with this effect.
Don't push too hard; giving the newbie some time to process things is a good choice.
Luan Yenan took out a bouquet of flowers from behind her.
A bunch of flowers consisting of no more than seven small clusters.
It wasn't as grand as when I picked up Zuo Baixuan from school before, but I managed to gather all seven colors, corresponding to the rainbow.
"A gift of thanks."
Surrounded by onlookers, Zuo Baixuan didn't hesitate for long and accepted it.
"You brought me a thank-you gift for taking pictures of rainbows, but you've taken so many beautiful pictures," Zuo Baixuan didn't fall for the trap and changed the subject, "I don't have any gifts to thank you for!"
Luan Yenan raised the corners of his mouth slightly. This little white flower has really learned to be clever.
She sat down in the seat opposite her, her gaze unwavering, and replied, "No need."
Jiang Lingdan clicked her tongue in amazement. How did Luan Yenan convey the message "you are the gift" with just one look?
Zuo Baixuan still couldn't withstand the intense gaze and lowered her head to eat.
Luan Yenan didn't press further, but instead chatted with Chen Huanyu about the project's progress while they ate. It was as if his rush back was solely to discuss serious business with his partner.
...
After a simple lunch, Luan Yenan noticed a problem.
Zuo Baixuan's surprise at seeing him was genuine, but her subconscious avoidance was also real.
When he returned to his office alone, he found that the person hadn't followed him out for a long time.
I went outside and took a look. Neither of the two groups were there. The flowers I had given to Zuo Baixuan were placed next to Jiang Lingdan's workstation.
The HR person was good at reading people's expressions. Seeing Luan Yenan's gaze darting back and forth, she took the initiative to explain the situation: "Boss, today several new employees recruited by the boss's wife reported for duty. The boss's wife said that you were working too hard since you just came back, so she and Team Leader Chen took a group of people upstairs for a meeting."
Luan Yenan frowned and nodded, then went upstairs.
The new meeting room was renovated to be very spacious, easily accommodating two groups of people.
But for Chen Huanyu, it was a disaster.
As soon as Luan Yenan arrived on the second floor, he saw the group leader standing at the entrance of the conference hall.
Luan Yenan had just walked up to Chen Huanyu when Zuo Baixuan, who was speaking on stage, saw him and paused in her speech.
Jiang Lingdan immediately noticed the back door of the conference hall.
The others also turned around.
Chen Huanyu quickly put on her hood.
Luan Yenan raised his hand: "Everyone, you don't need to look at me. I'll leave the main stage to my wife."
Zuo Baixuan cleared her throat at the same time, drawing attention away again.
After everyone turned back.
Chen Huanyu spoke up from under the hood: "Aren't you worried?"
It wasn't that she had any social ideas; it was just that she was trying to run a new set of code.
"Why would I worry about my wife's opinions?"
Chen Huanyu didn't intend to receive any more information but was eager to verify: "I meant Kan Yanghui."
Luan Yenan glanced at Chen Huanyu, then at Jiang Lingdan who had been helping out, and simply replied with one word: "Yes."
“But Lingdan said that Zuo Baixuan and Kan Yanghui basically only cooperate online. The two times they met were at large group events, which Zuo Baixuan herself might not even remember,” Chen Huanyu relayed.
But at that moment, Kan Yanghui, as the representative of the new employees, stepped forward and explained in accordance with Zuo Baixuan's previous line of thought, showing great tacit understanding.
Before Luan Yenan could speak, Chen Huanyu automatically imagined all of this to be Jiang Lingdan, and immediately clenched her fists.
"Doesn't it make you feel uncomfortable?"
Luan Yenan ignored Chen Huanyu's strange behavior and simply stated his own feelings: "I feel uncomfortable."
No one could be more upset than her.
To others, it seemed like they had simply delivered a well-coordinated collaborative speech.
But in Luan Yenan's view, it was an invasion of her "reality" by the "outline".
"If it's painful, won't you stop it?" Chen Huanyu asked again, as if searching for an answer for herself.
“I promised her I would let her bring people into the group.” Luan Yennan’s gaze did not leave Zuo Baixuan.
"That's truly mature love, so restrained. I definitely couldn't handle it." Chen Huanyu never expected that she would experience such human emotions while putting herself in someone else's shoes.
"It's not because of maturity that I'm restrained."
Chen Huanyu didn't understand: "Why is that?"
"It's because she doesn't like me. It would be impolite if she didn't restrain herself." Luan Yenan said in a flat tone, giving an answer that was completely different from what she had given at the banquet that night.
Luan Yenan was certain that Zuo Baixuan was also moved, but her feelings were not enough to shake her rationality.
Chen Huanyu couldn't understand these words. She could only keep asking in a single thread, thinking that maybe one day she would need them: "So what do you want to do now?"
"Tie Zuo Baixuan up, whether with real ropes or ropes of the mind, so that she can't leave me." Luan Yenan didn't mince words with Chen Huanyu, since she wouldn't understand anyway.
"?" But this kind of straightforward and illusory language is also incomprehensible.
Luan Yenan then changed his approach: "Or get rid of Kan Yanghui and eliminate the distractors."
Chen Huanyu searched her mind for a while, trying to match the true meaning of Luan Yenan's words, and finally gave a comment: "You're a lunatic."
"I only regret that I wasn't crazy enough. If I had just gone even crazier..." Luan Yenan stopped talking.
A bloody scene, unseen for a long time, flashed by.
If she were to go completely mad, what difference would there be between her and that disgusting man?
She remained silent for a moment, rejecting the cruelty ingrained in her genes, and chose to use her own methods.
Luan Yenan glanced at Chen Huanyu, his narrow eyes slightly raised, as if he understood her better than she understood herself, and gave her his assessment: "You're such a closet pervert."
As the meeting ended, Luan Yenan left Chen Huanyu, who looked surprised, and walked towards Zuo Baixuan.
Kan Yanghui was about to look for Zuo Baixuan when he was interrupted.
Still caught up in the excitement of her speech, Zuo Baixuan showed no qualms when she saw Luan Yenan: "Mr. Luan, is there anything you'd like to add?"
"No, Boss Luan just wanted to take his wife away." Luan Yenan held her hand.
“But we are also planning to hold group meetings,” Zuo Baixuan reminded her.
“It won’t take too long. I have to go to the ‘Frontend’ meeting later,” Luan Yennan said, glancing at Kan Yanghui at the same time.
Kan Yanghui felt a chill run down his spine and stepped down from the stage.
Why do I feel like I'm being resented by this Boss Luan after only meeting her for the first time? I haven't offended her, have I?
