Chapter 13

"Why did you guys go back so late that day"“Because my wife had a fall and went into premature labor, I was so scared my legs turned to jelly. So Ms. Shen sent me to the hospital. She even gave my wif...Just like that, Shen Yian smiled and skillfully dodged Li Manager's touch.

Fortunately, after the dishes were served, they were separated by them.

Shen Yian tried to find a breakthrough: "Manager Li, I..."

Manager Li took a bite of the dish and interrupted, "This dish is really good, Miss Shen, you should try it."

"Alright, thank you." Shen Yian helplessly took a bite of the dish and continued, "Manager Li, actually..."

"That's not bad either." Manager Li continued eating, completely ignoring Shen Yian.

When Shen understood Li's manager's meaning, he realized that he didn't want to talk about work at all. Having dinner was just a way to make things difficult for her.

Her face stiffened slightly, but she quickly regained her composure.

She took a sip of juice: "Manager Li, if you like it, I'll ask the waiter to bring you some more."

It is rumored that when Manager Li saw Shen Yian, he hesitated for a moment.

Shen Yian didn't say much anymore. Instead, she smiled and served dishes for Li Manager, even talking about the process of each dish as if her purpose was simply to accompany Li Manager for a meal.

Her smiling face, as if meticulously sketched by an artist, landed in the corner of Song Lin's gaze.

When Song Lin received the text message from Shen Yi'an, he ignored it.

But as he was going downstairs to leave, he was a little curious about how Shen Yian planned to deal with Manager Li, after all, Manager Li's methods were notoriously strange.

So he came.

I didn't expect that as soon as I entered, I saw Shen Yian giving Li Manager vegetables with a face full of coquettish smiles. This is very much in line with her image of being materialistic and flattering.

But his heart was inexplicably stirring. Had she forgotten that she was already married

To get in through the back door, he was shamelessly flattering that other man.

The means are truly vulgar.

Song Lin watched the two of them, his fingers unconsciously clenching the white porcelain cup, letting out a giggle.

Xu Da, beside him, followed his gaze and whispered, "This woman is really bold. She's so enthusiastic towards a stranger. It seems like Mr. Li is in for a treat today."

With a thud, Song Lin's teacup fell silently, making Xu Da's heart skip a beat.

"Boss, is there something wrong with the tea"

"It's undrinkable. Let's go."

Song Lin got up and left, his long eyelashes concealing unknown emotions as he lowered his gaze.

Xu Da felt baffled. Did he say something wrong

Manager Li, someone brought dishes to your bowl, how could you not enjoy yourself

At another table, Shen Yian and Manager Li had also finished their dinner. She thought that now Manager Li wouldn't be able to find any other excuse to interrupt her.

She smiled and said, "Manager Li, can we now discuss the terms of our cooperation"

Manager Li stared at Shen Yian's pale face. Although she lacked elaborate makeup, her complexion was exceptionally white and rosy, giving off an almost imperceptible air of fragility. Yet, her tone was anything but fragile.

Be resolute.

She is completely different from Wang Ruqi. She's surprisingly calm.

He narrowed his eyes and chuckled softly, "No rush. I'll have a pot of tea to settle my stomach first, then we can slowly drink and chat."

Shen Yi'an kept smiling, nodding calmly and helplessly.

After the tea arrived, Shen Yinan politely got up to pour the tea. Unexpectedly, Manager Li also reached out and grasped her hand on the teapot handle.

Shen Yian wanted to withdraw her hand, but Li Manager held on tighter and even smiled at her.

"Miss Shen, your hands are so cold. Is the air conditioning here too cold Then let's sit closer, that way we can hear each other clearly when discussing work, right"

After he finished speaking, Manager Li leaned his entire body against Shen Yian.

Even Shen Yian, despite being naive, understood Li's manager's meaning. He was hinting at her that if she wanted to talk about work, she needed to be willing to give something in return.

"Mr. Li, you've misunderstood. Please let go." Shen Yian gritted his teeth, barely restraining the urge to strike back.

Manager Li is a key figure in this cooperation. She can't be offended, but she also can't sacrifice herself for work.

Unexpectedly, Manager Li not only didn't let go, but even rubbed Shen Yian's hand back with his hand.

"Don't try to fool me, you came to find me alone for this reason, didn't you You and Wang Ruqi are the same kind of person, but I prefer your style now."

"Let go!" Shen Yian warned angrily.

"Well, you have quite a temper. I like it." Manager Li leaned closer to Shen Yian.

Shen Yi'an choked, the other hand quickly taking over the scalding teapot and burning Li Jing's back of the hand.

"Ah!"

Manager Li let out a low cry of pain, shaking his hand as if it was rubbed with salt, causing the surrounding people to look sideways. He didn't dare make a fuss, so he could only grit his teeth and stare at Shen Yian.

Shen Yian tightened his grip on the teapot and said, “Manager Li, please be respectful. I do hope to cooperate with your company, but that doesn't mean I'm willing to sell myself out. If you continue behaving inappropriately, I will report this to the police. Even the biggest companies cannot tolerate workplace sexual harassment.”

Manager Li was taken aback for a moment, the next second his eyes widened in fury: "You dare threaten me Just you"

"I wouldn't. But when people are desperate, they can do anything." Shen Yian met his gaze unflinchingly.

Manager Li's eyes widened, then he chuckled softly: "I understand. You're afraid your husband will find out, right Only I know about this. Your husband won't know, so your cooperation... will be easier. Otherwise, I'll just have to take my leave. Don't come crying to me later saying I'm bullying you, a woman."

Shen Yian clenched his fists and immediately stood up.

"Manager Li, I apologize, but I cannot betray my husband. It seems this tea will have to be enjoyed by you alone."

Saying that, she deliberately pressed the teapot in her hand hard onto his back, then walked away without looking back.

Behind me, Manager Li let out a wail, still cursing under his breath.

Shen Yian ignored him and quickly walked out of the restaurant.

She hated this kind of dirty tricks the most. She didn't believe she wouldn't be able to beat Wang Ruoqi!

Shen Yian gritted his teeth and walked towards the subway station. Who knew that as soon as he took a step, he was pushed hard from behind by someone.

She stumbled and luckily managed to steady herself by holding onto a pillar. She turned around, just about to scold the person, but discovered that it was Manager Li who had bumped into her.

At this moment, Manager Li was a completely different person from the sleazy demeanor he had just displayed. He was sweating profusely and his face was wrinkled with anxiety.

"What Wasn't the due date next month How come she's having the baby suddenly"

"Fell Major bleeding!"

"Doctor, save my wife! You have to save my wife first! Please, don't let the child get hurt!"

“I’m coming right away! I’m coming right...”

Manager Li's body shook more and more as he spoke, his phone also slipped from his trembling hand and landed on the ground.

Hearing this, Shen Yian immediately stepped forward and helped up Manager Li.

"Manager Li, are you alright"

"I, I... take me to the Women's and Children's Hospital, I, I can't drive, my legs are weak." Manager Li said feebly.

Shen Yian was stunned for a moment. If she hadn't recognized Manager Li's face, she would have suspected that she had just walked around in circles.

Mr. Li in front of me was so scared that he was paralyzed because his wife had a premature birth. It shows how much he loves his wife.

Why were you like that to her just now

Shen Yian also didn't have time to think about it. She had just heard Manager Li say that the woman was having a massive postpartum hemorrhage, which must be very serious.

She supported Mr. Li and said, "Where are the car keys"

Mr. Li, leaning against Shen Yian, trembled with his hand and pointed at his pocket.

Shen Yian reached out and touched it, pressing around it. He saw the car's lights flicker and quickly helped Li Manager over.

At that moment, a Maybach drove past them.

"In the car, Xu Da exclaimed, “Manager Li! This woman is too amazing She's already hugged Manager Li and gotten into the same car with him so quickly! Isn't Manager Li a stickler for his wife What kind of magic did this woman use"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Da felt a chill run down his spine. Through the rearview mirror, he saw Song Lin's eyes staring coldly at the two people outside the car window.

"Boss, should I remind Manager Li"d man to marry in such a short time.Thinking about it, she felt relieved. She grabbed her designer handbag and walked out, just bumping into staff from other floors."Ruoqi, why are people from your co...
