Chapter 20: The men of the Xie family are not good enough
Nine in the morning.
As soon as Shen Nanxi entered the office, Shen Yu came in with coffee.
The aroma of freshly ground coffee is complex and strong, and it becomes more fragrant the more you taste it.
Shen Nanxi took a sip and asked, "Did you change the coffee beans?"
Shen Yu smiled: "NinetyPlus is out of stock, so I switched to Juan Valdez, which is richer in fat and has a mellower taste."
Shen Nanxi: "Yes, it's good. I'll drink this from now on."
Shen Yu agreed, but he didn't leave.
Shen Nanxi understood that he had something to say.
Putting down the documents in my hand, I looked up at him and said, "Go ahead."
Shen Yu met her gaze, and his eyelashes trembled slightly under his glasses: "Today's headlines are about Xie Jingwei and Kang Ruimin."
It turns out to be this.
Shen Nanxi shrugged indifferently: "And then?"
Shen Yu knew that Shen Nanxi didn't care, so he didn't say anything, but just asked, "Do you want PR?"
Shen Nanxi: "No need, Kang Ruimin's popularity has been low recently, so this is a good opportunity to boost her popularity."
After that, he took out a piece of A4 paper with a folded footer from among the many documents and handed it to Shen Yu: "Well done, keep up the good work."
Shen Yu glanced at the words on the paper and said, "Okay."
He took the paper, turned around and put it into the shredder.
Looking at the intact paper shattered like floating cotton wool in the shredder box, Shen Yu lowered his eyes with a dazed look in his eyes.
"Miss."
After shredding the information, Shen Yu looked at Shen Nanxi.
Shen Nanxi had already buried her head in the documents again. When she heard his name, her hand holding the pen paused for a moment and she looked up at him again.
Shen Yu said: "Your skirt was delivered to my office."
Shen Nanxi was just about to ask "What skirt?" when she suddenly remembered the one Ge Weiwei bought for her when they were shopping that day. She didn't take it away because she needed to modify it.
She filled in the company's address and listed herself as the recipient. Logically, it would not be delivered to Shen Yu.
She thought for a few seconds, understood Ge Weiwei's intention, and smiled: "Maybe I was in a hurry and didn't write it clearly."
Shen Yu: "I'll get it for you."
Shen Nanxi: "Okay."
The skirt was packed in a box with a bow tied on it, and the logo was big and eye-catching.
Shen Nanxi took the time to call Ge Weiwei and tell her that the skirt had arrived.
The latter arrived in less than half an hour, walked into the office with a sly look, and asked, "Didn't you find it?"
Shen Nanxi crossed her fingers and held her chin up: "All the female colleagues in the company know that Shen Yu bought an Agnona skirt for his girlfriend."
Ge Weiwei: “…”
Shen Nanxi: "Has the goal been achieved?"
Ge Weiwei: “…”
That's the annoying thing about being friends with smart people; there's no way to hide anything.
Ge Weiwei ran to Shen Nanxi, pulled her arm and acted coquettishly: "Nanxi..."
Shen Nanxi didn't want to hear those cheesy words, so she handed the skirt to Ge Weiwei: "I still have work to do."
Thoughtfully changed the packaging.
Ge Weiwei understood immediately and left the office with a smile.
After finishing her work, Shen Nanxi began to deal with the matters that Wen Ping asked her to help with.
The Mandarin Club has recently had several new ladies from the mainland join, most of them from Suzhou. Mrs. Yao wants to invite Chef Ming to serve as the head chef for the club's induction dinner.
The time is this Sunday, which is a bit tight.
Shen Nanxi called Master Ming, but the call didn't go through.
Master Ming rarely touches his cell phone, so communication over the phone all depends on fate.
I can only pack up and go back.
When she passed by Shen Yu's office, she opened the door and went in. Seeing Shen Yu busy, she didn't bother him too much and just said, "Shen Yu, I won't be coming to the company tomorrow."
Jiang Wanrou asked her to go to Lantau Island to worship Buddha tomorrow and ask for a peace talisman for Shen Mushan who was going to have surgery the day after tomorrow.
Shen Yu raised his head, his eyes warm: "Okay."
Shen Nanxi glanced at her watch and reminded: "It's already five o'clock, you can get off work."
Shen Yu flipped through the documents in his hand: "I'll be off work after I finish these."
Shen Nanxi joked: "There is no overtime pay for working overtime on your own."
Shen Yu smiled: "Okay."
Shen Yu is like this, he speaks very little, has a very gentle personality, and will agree to whatever you say.
Shen Nanxi didn't persuade him anymore, said "goodbye" and left the office.
The closed door blocked Shen Yu's view.
He reluctantly took it back, put down the pen in his hand, opened the drawer, and took out a pink and blue card.
The card was delivered to his office early this morning along with the skirt.
It says: See you at Victoria Harbour at 8 o'clock on Friday. See you there.
Yes, the eldest lady is asking him out?
Master Ming didn't call back until nine o'clock in the evening.
At that time, Shen Nanxi was already taking a shower in the bathroom.
Xie Jingwei was sitting on the sofa and yawning. When he heard the "buzzing" sound, he blinked lazily twice before coming back to his senses.
He walked to the bedside table and looked at Shen Nanxi's cell phone.
The three words "Master Ming" flashed across his eyes, bringing a hint of excitement.
Press your finger on the screen and slide it gently...
When Shen Nanxi came out of the bathroom, Xie Jingwei was already asleep.
His arms were hanging over the edge of the sofa, looking like they were about to fall off at any moment.
There were a few more cigarette butts in the ashtray, the cigarette box on the coffee table was half empty, and there was a deflated cigarette box in the trash can.
How long have you been back and you've smoked so many cigarettes?
Shen Nanxi frowned and thought.
Fortunately, the air purification system in the room is good and I rarely smell smoke.
While drying her hair, Shen Nanxi was looking at her phone. When she saw the missed call from Master Ming, she immediately dialed the number.
When Master Ming heard that he had to come to Hong Kong City again, he laughed and scolded, "You little girl, you really don't take my old bones seriously. Time and time again, you have to torture me to death before you are happy."
Shen Nanxi acted coquettishly into the phone: "Uncle Ming, you may live a long life. It's too early for you to die."
Master Ming adopted Shen Nanxi as his goddaughter, but the age difference between them was too big, so it was inappropriate to call her "godfather", so he compromised by calling her uncle.
Master Ming: "With you around, I won't live long."
Shen Nanxi: "Then ninety-nine, forever and ever."
Master Ming: "Slippery tongue."
Shen Nanxi: "I am telling the truth."
Master Ming couldn't resist Shen Nanxi's "telling the truth" and agreed to come to Hongcheng again on Sunday.
Shen Nanxi told Wen Ping the news.
It wasn't long before I received a reply.
"Estelle, I will think carefully about our cooperation."
Quite high and mighty.
Shen Nanxi smiled imperceptibly and went to bed contentedly.
The next day, get up at five o'clock.
When worshiping Buddha, you must be sincere, and it is best to light the first stick of incense.
Shen Nanxi didn't believe this, but she respected Jiang Wanrou's opinion.
To get from Repulse Bay to Lantau Island, one needs to take a boat. Shen Nanxi is afraid of water, so Jiang Wanrou called a private plane to cross the sea.
After breakfast on the plane, we arrived at Lantau Island.
In the early morning, the Temple of Heaven Buddha is surrounded by clouds and mist, and it looks like a fairy.
Standing at the foot of the mountain looking at the top of the mountain.
The lotus seat floats with the mist, and the Buddha's body appears and disappears, overlooking all living beings in the clouds, with kind eyes and a solemn appearance.
The two men took the trouble to hike up the mountain.
After praying for the amulet, Jiang Wanrou took Shen Nanxi to worship the Goddess of Childbirth.
Kneeling on the cushion, with hands clasped together, he looked extremely pious.
Shen Nanxi looked at the fertility charm embroidered with a golden boy and a jade girl in her hand, and finally couldn't help asking: "Mom, Victor and I are still young, why are you so persistent in wanting us to have children?"
Xie Jingwei is three months younger than Shen Nanxi. They are both twenty-five years old, so there is no need to rush in this regard.
Jiang Wanrou glanced at the Bodhisattva with drooping eyebrows, and pulled Shen Nanxi out of the Guanyin Temple.
I found a secluded place and said in a low voice, "Nannan, I'm doing this for your own good."
Shen Nanxi frowned: "For my own good?"
Jiang Wanrou said "hmm", her expression more serious than ever: "The men in the Xie family are not good enough."
Shen Nanxi: “???”
Jiang Wanrou: "No one lives to be thirty."
Shen Nanxi: “???”
Jiang Wanrou: "If you don't have a child soon, it will be difficult for your property to be inherited in the future."
Shen Nanxi: "..."
