Because Ye Wanwan understood that Shen Yi’s personality did not allow him to lie; if he said it, then it was true.
However, in her past life, she simply refused to believe that what Shen Yi said was true.
"It’s already the wee hours over there for you too, you should rest early as well," Ye Wanwan quickly said.
"Okay," Shen Yi agreed.
Shen Yi shut down his computer, gathered the documents from his desk, and got up to return to the bedroom.
But once back in the bedroom and looking at the unfamiliar surroundings devoid of anything related to Ye Wanwan, Shen Yi couldn’t help but feel uncomfortable.
After the video call ended, Ye Wanwan curled up under her blanket, her mind a whirl of scattered thoughts, and soon fell asleep again.
During work, Ye Wanwan still looked listless due to requesting leave the day before, so several people in the office knew Shen Yi had gone abroad.
Yu Qiqi, who loved to follow the excitement, immediately joined in, "Wow, did someone have a sleepless night yesterday?"
Ye Wanwan rolled her eyes at Yu Qiqi, leaving her to imagine it.
And true to form, Yu Qiqi enjoyed stirring things up, laughing so hard she was almost doubled over.
Two days later, Ye Wanwan and Shen Yi each were looking for a suitable time, sharing trivial matters within that limited time they found.
Even though they were just trivial matters, they still chatted happily without a hint of impatience.
Meanwhile, Shen Yi had nearly adjusted to the time change and was ready to start work officially.
On his first official day, Shen Yi held a large meeting, gathering all the leadership to comprehensively understand the current progress of the subsidiary.
The meeting went on for a long time, and Shen Yi sat erect throughout, listening attentively to each leader’s report.
When the meeting ended, everyone in the conference room breathed a sigh of relief.
Shen Yi tidied up the documents on the meeting table, stood up, and walked toward the exit, with Assistant Chen quickly following.
"Fang Xian, summarize the minutes of the meeting and email them to me," Zhang Yang suddenly said.
"Okay," a female voice responded.
But Shen Yi, just a few steps away, suddenly stopped moving. Assistant Chen, following close behind, almost ran into him by accident.
Assistant Chen quickly steadied himself and then whispered beside Shen Yi, "President Shen, is there anything else?"
Now that Shen Yi was fully in charge of the subsidiary, it was no longer appropriate for Assistant Chen to address him as Manager Shen, so everyone had already started calling him President Shen.
At this moment, Shen Yi was slightly frowning, unable to help muttering to himself in a low voice, "Fang Xian?"
"What?" Assistant Chen was puzzled, not knowing who Shen Yi was talking about, having no recollection of this person, and thinking he might have misheard.
But Shen Yi ignored Assistant Chen, his heart inexplicably skipping a beat upon hearing the name "Fang Xian."
Then, an unexplainable feeling of aversion sprouted from the depths of his heart.
This left Shen Yi baffled. Did he know someone named Fang Xian? Had that person offended him?
Why did just hearing this name engender such an aversion towards this person?
Shen Yi couldn’t stop repeating the name under his breath. Assistant Chen at first didn’t catch it clearly, but after confirming he hadn’t misheard, he too repeated perplexedly, "Fang Xian?"
