Knowing to knock, definitely not someone from the Network Maintenance Department, Shen Siyuan didn’t make a sound but looked at Wei Suhua instead.
Wei Suhua got up and went to open the door, not calling out loudly for the person to come in, probably because she didn’t want to disturb Zhang Hicheng’s sleep.
Working in the same office, people generally don’t make their relationships too stiff.
On one hand, many tasks require mutual cooperation, and on the other hand, seeing each other all the time, a tense relationship would make work feel very oppressive. To work in such an environment and still be in a good mood would be surprising.
So even if it’s insincere, maintaining a facade is necessary.
Wei Suhua opened the door but didn’t invite the person in. After a few words of conversation, she turned back and looked at Shen Siyuan.
Shen Siyuan closed his eyes again, naturally not noticing this scene.
In this company, if you were to say who Wei Suhua was most familiar with, it’s not actually the few colleagues in her own department but Han Yanxia.
According to her, this brother is really quite a character; he could truly make a scene.
Han Yanxia was the main subject from whom she got her materials, so their relationship was naturally close.
"Is the person resting?"
"Are you sure you want to come in? Are you going to duel him? Can I record it?"
Wei Suhua fired off several questions, puzzling Han Yanxia a bit.
"He’s really dating President Ruan?" Han Yanxia craned his neck to peek inside.
"I knew those guys were talking nonsense. How could President Ruan fancy a nobody like him?" Han Yanxia exclaimed with joy upon hearing her answer.
"What I mean is, they’re not just dating; President Ruan is his lover."
Han Yanxia stared at her, his face pale and his expression incredibly complex.
But Wei Suhua didn’t care at all; she was even a bit excited.
She quickly nodded and said, "I’m sure. At lunchtime, President Ruan was hooking her arm in his, they were extremely cozy."
"Damn it, move, I want to see for myself what he looks like, what his background is, and why he could catch Ruan Hongzhuang’s eye."
Saying that, he pushed Wei Suhua aside and walked into the Network Maintenance Department.
Wei Suhua excitedly raised her phone.
"Twist your mouth, mock, fight... fight..."
But the situation was not as she expected.
Han Yanxia entered the office and went straight to Shen Siyuan.
Even though in the Network Maintenance Department he wasn’t familiar with anyone other than Wei Suhua, they were still all acquaintances.
Moreover, he had just seen a photo. Although the photo was somewhat blurred, he recognized Shen Siyuan at first glance.
Shen Siyuan was sitting with his eyes closed, spine straight, broad shoulders, and smoothly defined arms, emanating a very strong presence.
Seated by the window, with the sunlight shining on him, his whole body seemed to glow with a faint golden sheen, especially his hair, which almost turned golden, causing him a momentary daze.
Probably due to the shadow, his facial features looked even more sculpted.
"He really is quite handsome," Han Yanxia unconsciously thought.
But immediately after, he added in his mind, "But he’s still not quite as good as me."
And at that moment, Shen Siyuan sensed someone approaching him, so he opened his eyes.
He saw a tall, handsome young man with sharp eyebrows, but with a notch in the brow over his right eye and his bangs dyed a fiery red, giving him a somewhat reckless look.
"What’s the matter?" Shen Siyuan raised an eyebrow and asked.
"You... you and President Ruan are together?"
Originally full of vigor, the moment Han Yanxia met Shen Siyuan’s gaze, he felt an immense pressure bearing down on him. He trembled, his throat went dry, and his speech became incoherent.
Yet his mind was still clear, inwardly scolding himself for being so spineless, afraid of a loser, but it was as if his brain and body had separated at that moment, possessed by a ghost, completely out of his control.
"Yes, so what?" Shen Siyuan asked, somewhat puzzled.
"I... I’ve been pursuing Ruan Hongzhuang."
Once he said it, Han Yanxia was a bit dazed himself, thinking, why did I say that? Am I freaking braindead?
"Then you have no chance," Shen Siyuan stood up and said.
Because of the backlight, as Shen Siyuan stood up, Han Yanxia felt himself enveloped by a giant shadow.
He swallowed dryly and then left the network maintenance department without looking back.
Watching his awkward departure, Shen Siyuan felt somewhat baffled.
So he asked Wei Suhua, who was holding her phone, "What’s wrong with him?"
"The wailing of a loser in love."
"Speak human language."
"A heartbroken person."
Guan Yanping and Zhao Guangcai, who were enjoying the spectacle, couldn’t help but laugh gleefully.
Watching someone else’s romantic rejection was even more delightful than not having a girlfriend themselves.
Shen Siyuan turned his head only to see Zhang Hicheng hurriedly close his eyes and turn his head away.
"Really..." Shen Siyuan didn’t even know what to say.
Perhaps because they knew about Shen Siyuan’s relationship with the boss, others seemed to be working particularly hard in the afternoon.
Long Shihai and Guan Yanping couldn’t take it any longer and made an excuse to check the network before disappearing without a trace.
Then Wei Suhua said she had to go get some materials, took her phone, and left for parts unknown.
Even Zhang Hicheng, the team leader, left the office without giving any reason, hands behind his back, nonchalantly strolling away.
In the end, only Zhao Guangcai and Ge Changsheng were left in the office, responsible for tracking ships and cargo, and had to keep an eye on the navigation charts on their computers, with no excuse to leave.
Shen Siyuan himself also felt uncomfortable; he should not have listened to Ruan Hongzhuang and taken this job.
However, he couldn’t just keep wandering around outside, and around four o’clock, people started coming back one after another.
The last to return was Wei Suhua, with Jiang Taoshi following behind.
"I brought you some food, the cake is from me, and the coffee is from Ruan Ruan," Jiang Taoshi explained, placing the items on the desk.
Shen Siyuan glanced at the cake in the box, which was only half there.
"Why is there only half?"
"Because I ate the other half," Jiang Taoshi said with righteous indignation.
Then, after looking around his desk for a bit, she asked, "Is there anything else you need?"
"I need a cup," Shen Siyuan said casually.
"I have one; I’ll get it for you in a bit. Also, we’re going to have hotpot tonight, do you want to join?" Jiang Taoshi asked.
But Shen Siyuan did not answer this question; instead, he suddenly turned his head to look outside the window.
A gust of wind blew in from outside, messing up Jiang Taoshi’s fringe and sideburns, scattering some documents all around...
"Where did this wind come from?"
Jiang Taoshi held her fringe in place, puzzled.
There was no wind outside, so this gust seemed particularly out of place.
Shen Siyuan, however, stretched out his hand, and the wind brushed past his fingertips.
Seeming to perceive something, he chuckled and said, "Okay then, but after work, let’s pick up Tang Tang." Follow current novels on 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡•𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚•𝙣𝙚𝙩
Jiang Taoshi suddenly leaned in closer, whispering, "Tell me honestly, what exactly is your relationship with Tang Tang?"
Shen Siyuan pondered and replied, "Disciple?"
Hearing this, Jiang Taoshi’s face lit up with surprise and she eagerly followed up, "How about me... do I qualify?"
Shen Siyuan rejected without a second thought.
Jiang Taoshi, irritated, raised her sculpted eyebrows and snatched the cake back from the desk.
"You’re not getting any," she said before turning and storming off.
Seeing this, Shen Siyuan couldn’t help but shake his head with a smile, finding it amusing that such a grown person could still be so childish.
