Ye Wanwan glared at Song Ziyi, "What are you joking about? I’m not a three-year-old kid!"
"Then it seems our Wanwan’s feelings for President Shen aren’t deep enough. I remember when we graduated, you were all teary-eyed," Song Ziyi said with a laugh.
Speaking of past embarrassments, Ye Wanwan pushed Song Ziyi away, not wanting to deal with her.
Afterward, the three of them continued to eat and chat amidst laughter and teasing.
Everyone had to work the next day, so after finishing the hotpot, they didn’t go anywhere else and took home the local specialties Lu Ning had brought.
When she got home, Ye Wanwan, after taking a shower and lying on her bed, messaged Shen Yi.
But Shen Yi didn’t reply. Ye Wanwan figured he probably hadn’t arrived yet, so she didn’t continue to message him.
By the time Shen Yi replied to her, Ye Wanwan had already fallen asleep.
Shen Yi landed in D Country at eight in the evening. When he saw the message from Ye Wanwan, he replied to her.
But there was a time difference, and she was surely asleep by now. Shen Yi didn’t expect her to reply. And if it was this late and she still hadn’t slept, he would really worry.
While walking out, Shen Yi saw her new post on Moments, taken in the hotpot restaurant.
He had just left, and Ye Wanwan was already eating and drinking with her friends, showing no sign of missing him. Shen Yi smiled helplessly at the thought, really, what an ungrateful person.
"Manager Shen, they’re here," Assistant Chen reminded him softly.
Shen Yi looked up and immediately spotted about a dozen people standing at the reception area, men and women, all looking like business professionals.
Scanning the crowd, Shen Yi saw only one familiar face, the assistant Zhang Yang from the previous visit. Although Mr. Li had returned, his assistant Zhang Yang was still there watching over things.
Shen Yi frowned slightly, "Didn’t I say there was no need to pick me up?"
"Yes, we had informed them beforehand, but..." Assistant Chen naturally knew why they came.
Although everyone was calling him "Manager Shen," who didn’t know Shen Yi’s status as the future person in charge of Jinghong? Nobody dared to slight him.
Shen Yi said no more and continued to make his way to the exit. As he approached, Zhang Yang hurriedly came forward, "Manager Shen, you must be exhausted."
Shen Yi just nodded slightly, shook hands with Zhang Yang, who quickly said, "We’ve already booked a hotel to give you a reception to refresh yourself!"
"Thanks for the trouble," Shen Yi said, glancing at his watch. It wasn’t very late, and although he didn’t really feel like going, he couldn’t deny them this bit of face.
Zhang Yang smiled apologetically, "No trouble at all!"
Coming out of the airport, the group was ready to head straight to the hotel Zhang Yang had booked.
While waiting for the cars at the airport entrance, an employee from the branch office took a phone call and stepped aside to talk.
While the person on the other end wasn’t speaking loudly, Shen Yi could still vaguely hear the clear and methodical sales pitch and subtly glanced over.
He only caught a glimpse of a woman’s back, but Shen Yi didn’t think much of it and soon looked away. When Zhang Yang’s arranged car arrived, everyone got in.
With the branch office staff and the people Shen Yi brought along, there were almost twenty people in total, filling two tables in the private room.
Then, as the representative of the branch office, Zhang Yang took the lead in toasting Shen Yi as a welcome, and Shen Yi returned the courtesy.
