Song Qinian still shamefully got into the car.
Fortunately, Shen Chi Yan did not look at her or trouble her during the entire journey to the company.
Before reaching the company, Song Qinian asked Gao Kun Lun to stop the car.
As soon as she got out of the car and saw it driving towards the Ding Sheng Group, Song Qinian breathed a sigh of relief.
Heavens, sharing a car with Shen Chi Yan was more nerve-wracking than taking an exam.
Shen Chi Yan was in a bad mood today. Song Qinian saw that several project managers came out of the CEO's office looking dejected.
Even Li Nan Xun avoided Shen Chi Yan's office to avoid being scolded.
As lunch break approached, Li Nan Xun couldn't help but run to find Song Qinian.
"Secretary Song, what's wrong with Mr. Shen today?"
Song Qinian quickly shook her head. She thought that Shen Chi Yan was unhappy because he had run off without her last night and naturally didn't dare to let anyone know about it, fearing that Shen Chi Yan would silence her.
At noon, when Song Qinian and Miao Zi Ai went to eat, they saw Shen Qi Wen.
Song Qinian didn't expect Shen Qi Wen to come to the cafeteria.
As soon as Miao Zi Ai saw Shen Qi Wen, she became infatuated. "Nian Nian, why are all the Shen family so handsome? Mr. Shen's looks and physique are already heaven-defying, and then there's Manager Shen. Oh... it's simply good fortune for us women."
Song Qinian glanced at Miao Zi Ai, whose eyes were almost glued to Shen Qi Wen. She ate with one hand and typed with the other, showing Miao Zi Ai.
"Isn't your idol Mr. Shen?"
"Yes, but that doesn't stop me from liking Manager Shen!"
Song Qinian: "..."
She didn't expect Xiao Ai to be such a fickle woman.
Seeing Song Qinian's somewhat contemptuous gaze, Miao Zi Ai coughed lightly and immediately gestured. "Nian Nian, I'm not fickle. Mr. Shen and Manager Shen are completely different types."
She paused, then continued, "Our Mr. Shen is an unattainable aloof beauty, only to be admired from afar, not to be touched. As for this Manager Shen, he's roguish and handsome, always with a mischievous smile on his face. Who wouldn't be smitten!"
Song Qinian didn't think so.
As soon as she saw Shen Qi Wen, she thought of a phrase: a wolf in sheep's clothing.
In her eyes, Shen Qi Wen wasn't even as good as a strand of Shen Chi Yan's hair, let alone comparable to Shen Chi Yan.
Speak of the devil, Shen Qi Wen came to them with a meal tray.
He flashed a mischievous smile but asked gentlemanly, "Two beauties, may I sit here?"
Song Qinian frowned slightly, while Miao Zi Ai excitedly grabbed Song Qinian's leg. Song Qinian gritted her teeth in pain.
"Hmm?"
Shen Qi Wen tilted his head and smiled, asking again.
His smile directly stole Miao Zi Ai's soul. Miao Zi Ai nodded her head like a pecking chick.
Song Qinian couldn't speak, and she didn't want others to know that she knew Shen Qi Wen. So she buried her head in her meal and ignored him.
Shen Qi Wen didn't directly chat with Song Qinian but kept talking to Miao Zi Ai.
Miao Zi Ai was a simple and unguarded person. Shen Qi Wen managed to extract almost all the information about her family.
"Little Ai, you're so beautiful, do you have a boyfriend?"
Miao Zi Ai shyly and coyly shook her head. "Not yet."
"Really? Then..."
Song Qinian couldn't stand it any longer and stood up abruptly. Miao Zi Ai was startled and looked at Song Qinian in surprise. "Nian Nian..."
Shen Qi Wen raised his eyebrows, looking at Song Qinian, his smile deepening.
Shen Qi Wen was definitely doing this on purpose. He was Lin Qiu Tong's sycophant, and he liked Lin Qiu Tong. He would never like Miao Zi Ai.
She didn't believe that Shen Qi Wen talked to Miao Zi Ai for so long just to be friends with her.
Miao Zi Ai was her best friend at Ding Sheng Group, and she absolutely wouldn't let Shen Qi Wen harm Miao Zi Ai.
"Xiao Ai, have you eaten? We should go!"
"Ah..."
Miao Zi Ai was having a pleasant conversation with Shen Qi Wen and was somewhat reluctant to leave.
But before she could speak, Shen Qi Wen stood up. "Little Ai, it was a pleasure chatting with you today. Let's have dinner together another day."
"Ah... Okay, okay..."
As Shen Qi Wen left, he gave Song Qinian a meaningful glance.
Song Qinian frowned and gave him a warning look, telling him not to set his sights on Miao Zi Ai.
"Ah... he's so handsome and charming, and he knows so much..."
Miao Zi Ai was still lost in a pink fantasy. Song Qinian directly slapped her, scattering those pink bubbles.
"Stop daydreaming. The person he likes is Lin Qiu Tong!"
If Shen Qi Wen were a good man, Song Qinian would naturally not stop Miao Zi Ai from interacting with him.
But Shen Qi Wen was cunning and possibly an accomplice in her father's imprisonment. She didn't want to harm Miao Zi Ai.
"Really? How do you know?"
Song Qinian was momentarily speechless. After thinking for a moment, she quickly gestured. "I saw Lin Qiu Tong's picture on his phone screen."
"Oh..."
Miao Zi Ai was also somewhat disappointed, but soon she smiled again. "It's normal. I heard that the Shen family and the Lin family are old friends. They must have known each other since childhood. Besides, Lin Qiu Tong is so beautiful. It's not just Manager Shen who likes her; I like her too."
As if she had thought of something, Miao Zi Ai added, "No, aren't Mr. Shen and Lin Qiu Tong childhood sweethearts? Then if Manager Shen likes Lin Qiu Tong, won't he be competing with Mr. Shen? The odds don't seem good, so doesn't that mean I still have a chance?"
Song Qinian: "..."
Song Qinian took a deep breath. She really wanted to pry open Miao Zi Ai's head and see what was inside.
"In short, stay away from Shen Qi Wen. He's not a good person."
Miao Zi Ai pouted. Song Qinian didn't know what she was really thinking.
The two parted ways after leaving the restaurant. Miao Zi Ai said she was going to get a package downstairs. Song Qinian went to the restroom. As soon as she came out of the restroom, Shen Qi Wen blocked her way.
Song Qinian felt uncomfortable the moment she saw Shen Qi Wen. She hadn't even investigated her father's affairs yet, and Shen Qi Wen had already played a trick on her. With new and old grievances combined, her eyes almost spewed fire when she saw Shen Qi Wen.
But this was the company, and she didn't know what Shen Qi Wen was up to. She didn't dare to act rashly.
Seeing Song Qinian's hostile gaze, Shen Qi Wen smiled and said, "Fifth sister-in-law, I helped you get rid of Ju Hong Lan and made you the sole vice-chairman of the Hong Ou Foundation. Why is your hostility towards me so great?"
Song Qinian didn't want to waste her energy communicating through sign language and wanted to leave. Shen Qi Wen grabbed her and pushed her against the wall.
Song Qinian's face changed, and she frowned as she tried to push Shen Qi Wen away.
Shen Qi Wen leaned in and whispered in her ear, "My sister-in-law, you wound me so deeply. I thought Miao Zi Ai was quite cute and wanted to get to know her, but you reacted so strongly. You must have said a lot of bad things about me to her, right?"
Song Qinian couldn't push Shen Qi Wen away, so she raised her foot and stomped hard on his instep. Shen Qi Wen recoiled in pain.
Song Qinian coldly gestured, "You'd better not have any ideas about Xiao Ai, or I won't let you off!"
