Chapter 11: Forget Him _1

The three-day business trip was abruptly ended by Wen Sheng in less than two days.

After finalizing Qingzhou Restaurant's pre-cooked food research material with Song Yu'en in the afternoon, Wen Sheng immediately booked a ticket back to Jiangzhou.

When she left the Jiangzhou station, Wen Sheng noticed a vaguely familiar figure slipping into a black Aston Martin.

He resembled the man in Qingzhou.

Once Wen Sheng was able to take a better look, the car had already sped away, disappearing into the traffic.

Wen Sheng quickly thought about it, and wondered how could that man be in Jiangzhou. She assumed her eyes were playing tricks on her and she must've misseen.

What happened in Qingzhou was just an accident, and now that she was back, she should forget everything completely.

She would continue to follow up with the Qingzhou Restaurant project though. After the research, Wen Sheng realized that their pre-cooked food is very competitive in the current market and worth investing in. However, to kickstart the project, she would have to visit Qingzhou again for business trips, where she might bump into that man.

Nevertheless, under no circumstances, would she give up her work for a man. She was fully conscious of that.

That man seemed to be a playboy, experienced, and he surely knew the game. He should be clear-headed more than she was.

Zhu Qingjia came to pick her up in her red Ferrari.

As soon as Wen Sheng got in the car, Zhu Qingjia excitedly scanned her from top to bottom, curiosity written all over her face, "Sis Sheng, did things go wild?"

Wen Sheng rolled her eyes in annoyance. "Stop talking nonsense, Jiajia."

"Judging by how you walk, I can tell what happened!" Zhu Qingjia was outspoken, especially when talking about personal matters, which often caught Wen Sheng off-guard.

"Well, that night—" Wen Sheng hesitated to talk about what happened, but when she thought of Jian Yukuo, she said, "Jiajia, there's something I need to tell you."

"What's up, just tell me."

Wen Sheng was feeling quite upset, and decided to tell Zhu Qingjia everything about Jian Yukuo that happened the night before.

She initially wanted some comfort from Zhu Qingjia, but rather than focusing on her story, Zhu Qingjia asked, "So, Sheng, isn't it more thrilling when it's intense? That man seems quite good at seducing!"

Wen Sheng rolled her eyes again, "Jiajia, could you be a bit less frivolous? That's not the point of my story."

But she couldn't deny it, her reaction in that situation was indeed noticeable. The moisture stains on her clothes didn't lie. She felt embarrassed just thinking about it.

"What's there to be embarrassed about? Let me tell you, we are naturally inclined towards those thrilling scenarios, but we dare not admit because of morality and dignity."

Zhu Qingjia continued her explanation, trying to console Wen Sheng, "Otherwise, what do you think all those crazy scenes in Japanese romance movies are for? They are capturing the weaknesses and desires of human nature! Those suppressed desires have to find a way out!"

Resting back in the chair, Wen Sheng murmured in a low spirit, "I'm just worried that Jian Yukuo won't let the matter rest."

Recalling those insulting messages from Jian Yukuo, Wen Sheng suddenly realized she didn't really understand him.

The Jian Yukuo she thought she knew previously always exuded cheerfulness like a poplar tree, dashing and spontaneous, with a bit of temper, but was always gentle to her. She couldn't believe those foul words in the WeChat conversation were from him. It felt like she had never really known him. Ironically, when they broke up, it wasn't this messy. It only became this awkward after breaking up.

Zhu Qingjia gripping the steering wheel with her attractive eyes scanning the road ahead said fiercely, "If that bastard dares to keep messing with you, I'll slap him and send him to fish in the Pacific! The asshole, who cheated on you and teased you for half a year, now treats you as an idiot. What's wrong with you dating another man after you became single? If he can't satisfy you, you can't be with other men? Does that mean, without Jian Yukuo, you have to live alone for the rest of your life? Who the hell does he think he is! Doesn't he know what a break up means? This prick needs a good beating!"

"I suspect now that he is incompetent and couldn't ignite your interest!"

"Damn, you saw a psychologist for over a year because of him. If this bastard keeps bothering you, I'll unscrew his head and let the national football team use it as a football! He dare insult you? He has no guts!" Miss Zhu is incredibly eloquent when swearing, an ordinary person couldn't keep up with her.

Wen Sheng tilted her head and looked at Zhu Qingjia, sighing, "Jiajia, I am most afraid of such nagging, I can't cope with it."

Zhu Qingjia glanced at Wen Sheng with clear understanding, and somewhat reproached, "It's because you're afraid of this nag that you have to accept Alisa's nonsense and work on secondary projects in Qingzhou. You're on the verge of a promotion, and what kind of job are you accepting? Shen Guannan hasn't even got married to her yet, who is she trying to impress?"

Wen Sheng sighed, "I'm just a hard-working employee. Alisa is the future boss's wife, it is natural for her to order me."

"May I remind you that while Shen Guannan hasn't return from his trip to Hong Kong, just appease Alisa a little bit. Don't let her think you're easy to bully, otherwise even the most trivial tasks like buying coffee and photocopying documents will fall on your head! If you're still hoping for a promotion, she might end up assigning you to the back office to manage logistics, that would surely infuriate you!"

"People have to bow their heads under the roof." Wen Sheng shrugged.

"A gentleman can be killed but not humiliated!"

"I'm like the fish on the chopping board."

"Better to be a shattered jade than an intact tile!" Zhu Qingjia glared at Wen Sheng, and scolded, "Pull yourself together, don't let that girl look down on you! She is trying to impress Shen Guannan with her 36D bust, right? I bet Shen Guannan can't even breathe when he's with her!"

Closing her eyes for a while, Wen Sheng responded, "Actually, I wouldn't mind debating her, but I worry about making it difficult for Shen Guannan."

Three years ago, Wen Sheng got into some trouble and urgently needed a large sum of money. In her helpless situation, it was Shen Guannan who lent her 300,000 and helped her cross the hurdle. He also provided her with the opportunity to join Changjing Capital with a high salary. Although Wen Sheng paid back the money less than a year later, she still deeply values the favor she owes Shen Guannan.

Alisa's troubles were merely because she felt Shen Guannan treated her Especially well. Jealousy brewed, Alisa constantly tried to find fault, aiming to drive Wen Sheng out of Changjing Capital.

Yet, she completely underestimated Wen Sheng. Wen Sheng was a strong and resilient person who couldn't be easily affected by trivial matters. Moreover, she had no feelings for Shen Guannan beyond those of ordinary friends. Her smart responses and professional handling often left Alisa at a loss. It was no different when Shen Guannan left for the Hong Kong headquarters to report the annual investment plan, Alisa immediately sent Wen Sheng to Qingzhou for a second-hand project left from a resigned colleague.

Alisa thought it was a punishment, but she didn't know Wen Sheng very well. Wen Sheng is a very resilient person who isn't afraid of hardships.

Seeing Wen Sheng's weary face, Zhu Qingjia didn't disturb her anymore and put on some soft music, as she drove her home.

As soon as they entered Wen Sheng's house, Zhu Qingjia was stunned.
