There are only three people in this area of the corridor, two tall men and a thin girl. No matter how you look at it, the girl is at the disadvantage.
But Shen Jianian is no longer the little bird that was protected under the wings of her parents. She has long since grown her own wings, which may not be that strong, but are enough to protect herself.
Shen Jia Nian's face turned cold, with a hint of sarcasm in his voice: "I'm sorry, I have no ambition to be a heroine, so I won't waste Mr. Dong's time. Please get out of my way."
Boss Dong has seen all kinds of women, but none of them are as stubborn as Shen Jianian. In the end, she was still in the palm of his hand and obeyed his words obediently.
The process of taming them is also a pleasure.
"I like Miss Shen's temperament very much. It doesn't matter if you are not interested in the heroine. There are always other things that interest you. How can you not have pursuits and dreams in life, don't you think? I promise, after talking to me, Shen The lady will not regret it.”
Boss Dong always had a smile on his face, but the movements of his hands revealed his true thoughts. He reached out to grab Shen Jianian's wrist, but she cleverly avoided it.
Shen Jia Nian tightened her grip on the bag strap. The elevator was out of service and the sixth floor was not high. She turned around and planned to take the stairs to the emergency passage.
Boss Dong gave his assistant a look. Letting the person run away now would be like releasing the fish back into the sea. Where would he find it later?
The assistant understood and quickly walked around to the front of Shen Jianian.
There were people in front and behind. Shen Jianian paused on the spot and turned around, with a face as cold as frost.
Boss Dong had persistence in his eyes: "Ms. Shen, would you like to talk to me now?"
Just at this moment, the elevator door opened, and someone walked out. It was a hotel waiter, wearing a white shirt and a black suit vest, with a bow tie at the collar. He was holding a metal tray with sobered red wine in his hand.
Shen Jia Nian was so anxious that he grabbed the glass decanter and without thinking about the consequences, he poured a whole bottle of wine into Boss Dong's face.
Red wine poured all over his head and face, as well as his body, and his khaki suit was dyed another color.
The waiter carrying the tray was stunned.
Shen Jia Nian put the decanter without a drop of wine back on the tray, stepped in while the elevator door was still open, and pressed the door close button before anyone could react.
Boss Dong had never been treated like this before. His face covered with wine stains was livid with anger. After a long while, he yelled at his assistant: "Why are you just standing there stupidly? Bring me back!"
The assistant pressed the elevator button frantically, but unfortunately the elevator had already gone down and the other elevator was still on the second underground floor.

Shen Jia Nian left the hotel, immediately got out of a taxi and got into it, feeling a surge of emotions.
When she poured red wine on Boss Dong, she did not hesitate because at that moment a strange and familiar voice suddenly appeared in her mind. The voice told her: Remember, if you encounter this kind of thing in the future, just pour it.
She seemed to have been in a similar situation where someone held her hand and taught her to do this.
Who is it? Shen Jia Nian couldn't remember.
The phone rang. Shen Jia Nian closed his eyes and slowly exhaled. He reached into his bag and took out his phone. The caller ID on the screen was Pei Che.
Shen Jia Nian put a hand on his chest to calm his violent heartbeat and answered the phone.
"Is the banquet over?" Pei Che's gentle voice reached his ears through the receiver, like a clear spring, cleaning up the turbidity in his heart, "I'm done with my work, so I happened to stop by to pick you up."
Shen Jianian suddenly felt aggrieved and pursed his lips without speaking for a long time.
Everyone is like this. When you are alone, you can pretend to be strong. Once someone cares about you, the strong outer shell will instantly fall apart, revealing the fragile inside.
"What happened?" Even if Shen Jia Nian didn't say anything, Pei Che could feel that something was wrong with her mood. This was a tacit understanding accumulated over many years.
He couldn't help but become nervous.
Shen Jianian did not hide his grievance: "I seem to have gotten into trouble."
"Where are you? I'll go look for you now." Pei Che was anxious, but his tone was very calm, soothing her, "Don't be afraid, no matter what trouble you get into, as long as I'm here, no one will hurt you."
Shen Jianian looked at the night view of the city receding outside the car window, chose a compromise place to get off the car, and waited for him there.
Pei Che drove the car near a shopping mall, got out of the car and started running.
Shen Jianian was sitting on a public bench in the hall, with bright lights above her head. She was wearing a beautiful skirt and exquisite makeup, but her head was hung low, her hands were placed on the edge of the chair, and her legs were stretched out together, revealing The feeling of being alone and helpless.
There was a sound of hurried footsteps in his ears, which seemed familiar. Shen Jianian raised his head, and it was indeed Pei Che.
He came from the dinner party. He took off his suit and folded it in his hand. His hair was messed up because of running, his tie was tilted to one side, and his white forehead was covered with a layer of sweat.
Stopping in front of Shen Jia Nian, Pei Che panted, squatted down and looked into her eyes, with concern on his face: "Tell me, what's wrong with you?"
Shen Jianian moved to the side and motioned for him to sit down.
Pei Che sat down next to her, still breathing heavily, and listened to her talk about what happened to her at the closing banquet. Finally, she emphasized: "I didn't suffer any loss. I was just worried that Boss Dong would be angry and affect the crew."
I didn't think much about it when I poured wine on him. I left the hotel and got into the car, but then I started to worry.
"The movie has been filmed, so it shouldn't have much impact." Pei Che put the suit beside his legs, put his left arm around her shoulder, and rubbed it gently, "You did a good job. It's not like you caused trouble. If you encounter something like this again in the future, If you have to resist, just resist, don't worry about anything else."
Shen Jia Nian was startled.
Pei Che added: "But you have to be able to judge the situation. If resistance will threaten your life, it is best to find an opportunity to ask others for help. You were in the hotel at the time. Someone should come out if you shouted for help. You can also choose to call the police. As long as If you can protect yourself, it doesn’t matter if you really get into trouble.”
Shen Jianian looked at him, and when he finished speaking, she asked something she had not thought of: "Have you said similar things to me before?"
Pei Che was silent for a moment: "What?"
"What I mean is, have I encountered something like this before? Please teach me, just throw the wine on that person." Shen Jianian said, "I have a vague impression, and I don't remember it very clearly."
Pei Che's heart beat rapidly and he was speechless.
Before this, he had never said such words to Xiao Nian. If she had the impression that someone else had told her, it seemed that it was not difficult to guess who that person was.

The first day of August happens to be Monday.
After Pei Che left for the company, Shen Jianian went to Jiangcheng No. 1 Hospital alone and checked into the neurology specialist clinic. It was Dr. Zhang whom she was familiar with.
Hearing the call, Shen Jianian raised his head to confirm, then opened the door and entered the consulting room.
Doctor Zhang was no stranger to her. After she sat down, he asked, "What's wrong with her?"
"I've been having some flashbacks in my mind lately, and I'm not sure if it's part of my memory or something else."
"Do you feel any discomfort in your brain?" She had undergone surgery for intracranial hemorrhage, and Dr. Zhang was first worried about the sequelae.
Shen Jianian said no.
Whenever that happens, she will feel irritated at most, because the feeling of desperately trying to grab something but not being able to grab it is very powerless and irritating.
After chatting with the doctor for a while, the doctor was more inclined to think that those fragments were part of her lost memory, not a brain problem.
"Is it possible for me to recover my memory?" Shen Jianian was very concerned about this question.
"I can't guarantee you. You may remember some, maybe all of them, or you may not remember them for the rest of your life. As long as there are no other symptoms of discomfort in your body, my advice is to let nature take its course and don't If you get too entangled in this, you will get yourself into trouble and affect your normal life."
Shen Jia Nian understands this truth, but it is not that easy to do it.
She stood up and said, "Thank you doctor."
"You're welcome." The doctor raised his hand and circled in the air a few times. "Calm down. Think about it. Compared with other patients with physical illnesses, losing memory is already a very lucky result."
Shen Jianian nodded, left the consulting room, and took the elevator to the first floor.
The elevator door opened and she stepped out. At the same time, the metal door of the elevator next to her slowly closed.
In the car, Fu Jichen lowered his head to look at his mobile phone. He didn't notice a figure passing in front of the three-finger-wide gap. When he raised his eyes, the blurry profile of his face flashed away.
The elevator door is completely closed, and you go up to the floor where the orthopedics department is located.
Song Fang called the director of the department, who came over quickly. After a brief greeting, he expressed his apology: "Assistant Song should have made this call earlier. Dr. Xing, the most powerful doctor in our department, has been sent out."
