Shi Yuan walked over and asked, "You didn't go to work today?"
Fang Yuechuan pointed to the computer in front of him and said, "Isn't this busy?"
Shi Yuan nodded and said, "Then you get busy, I'll leave first."
Fang Yuechuan: "Wait."
Shi Yuan: "What are you doing?"
Fang Yuechuan looked at her and asked, "Aren't you going to eat?"
Shi Yuan: "I'll go find Shi Xiyue and the others to eat."
Fang Yuechuan: "..."
Shi Yuan saw him staring at her with complicated eyes, as if he had something to say, and asked, "What?"
Fang Yuechuan chuckled and said, "I've seen people who are ungrateful, but I've never seen people forget so quickly."
Shi Yuan heard what he meant and frowned: "I asked you to make a request yesterday, but you didn't mention it and now you're regretting it?"
Fang Yuechuan crossed his arms and looked at Shi Yuan and asked, "I haven't even eaten lunch because I was waiting for you. Are you going to treat me like this?"
Shi Yuan was startled: "What are you waiting for me for?"
Fang Yuechuan: "Do you mean to let me eat it by myself?"
Shi Yuan asked, "Otherwise, why don't you wait for me to feed you?"
"..." Fang Yuechuan was speechless for a few seconds and then said, "It was just announced last night that you will let me go to dinner alone today. If I help you, you won't get any favors at all?"
Shi Yuan reacted and said, "What do you want to eat?"
Fang Yuechuan: "I can do it, it's up to you."
Shi Yuan thought for a while and said, "Then let's go to Zuixian Tower. I'll invite you this time."
Fang Yuechuan: "Okay."
Before going out to eat, Shi Yuan first sent a message to Shi Xiyue, saying that he would come to find her later, and then the two of them took the elevator downstairs.
Along the way, Shi Yuan always felt like someone was watching them, and she didn't feel comfortable until they got in the car.
Zhang Jian was still driving the car, and no one spoke. The car was extremely quiet. Shi Yuan was idle before he began to reply to other people's messages one by one.
Zhu Heng was afraid that he was going to die of anxiety. As soon as Shi Yuan sent him the message, he made a phone call.
Shi Yuan didn't want to answer the call, but he had been replying to messages just now. It would be too deliberate not to answer the call now, so he simply answered the call: "Mr. Zhu."
Zhu Heng said in a strange tone: "Shi Yuan, what's going on with the hot search? Why are you and Fang Yuechuan together?"
Shi Yuan didn't turn on the speakerphone, but Zhu Heng's voice was not too quiet, and the car was quiet. Shi Yuan didn't know if Fang Yuechuan could hear him, so he said quietly: "No, I just asked him to do a favor."
Zhu Heng asked with some inquiry: "Do you have a friendship?"
Shi Yuan didn't know what Lao Deng was thinking, so he simply concealed it: "It's not really a friendship, but he was also involved in this incident, so we had some contact."
Zhu Heng was silent for a few seconds before saying, "Oh, that's it."
Shi Yuan: "Well, don't worry, I will handle Xiyue's matter and it will definitely not have any impact on the company."
Zhu Heng was probably waiting for Shi Yuan's words. After hearing this, his attitude immediately changed and he said with a smile: "I definitely believe in your ability."
Shi Yuan didn't want to waste more time with him and said directly: "Mr. Zhu, I have something to do now, so I won't talk anymore."
Zhu Heng: "Okay."
After hanging up the phone, Shi Yuan pinched his eyebrows.
Fang Yuechuan looked at Shi Yuan and asked, knowingly: "Who do you have no friendship with?"
Shi Yuan: "..."
Fang Yuechuan snorted lightly and said angrily: "You are quite duplicitous. Who am I to you?"
Shi Yuan: "That's not what I meant."
"Then what do you mean?" Fang Yuechuan seemed not to be fooled and wanted to get to the bottom of it.
Shi Yuan explained: "Zhu Heng is my boss, a very unreliable old man. Letting him know that I have a relationship with you will not be a good thing for you or me."
Fang Yuechuan: "If you dislike him so much, why are you still working under him?"
Shi Yuan lowered his eyes and said, "Whether I like him or not has nothing to do with whether I work in his company or not. Many decisions are beyond my control."
Fang Yuechuan asked silently: "If you were given a choice, would you just choose the one you like?"
"Not necessarily," Shi Yuan said, "I will consider it based on many aspects."
Fang Yuechuan said nothing this time, and the car fell into silence again.

Although the price of Zuixianlou is not affordable, the taste is indeed not bad. At least Shi Yuan thinks it is okay to eat it once in a while.
This time, in addition to a few dishes that they thought were delicious last time, the two of them ordered a few more dishes that they had never tasted before.
While waiting for the food, Shi Yuan kept reading various comments on the Internet. Some people's mouths really smelled like shit, which fully demonstrated the diversity of species.
Fang Yuechuan saw this and said, "Don't look at what they said, it's dirty eyes."
Shi Yuan: "Anyway, if you are idle, you will be idle."
Fang Yuechuan: "I'll ask Zhang Jian to remove the negative ones later."
Shi Yuan: "It's not necessary. I posted it just for them to discuss. I have so many words to talk about. Should I stop them all?"
Fang Yuechuan stared at Shi Yuan for a few seconds before saying, "Your heart is as big as before."
Shi Yuan: "Otherwise, I can't care what others say."
Looking at Shi Yuan's calm look, Fang Yuechuan recalled that Zeng Hao spread the news about her family in No. 6 Middle School when he was in middle school.
Facing the curiosity of his classmates, Shi Yuan also had the same attitude, as if he didn't care about anything and was too calm.
Shi Yuan never talked about her family affairs, and Fang Yuechuan never asked about it, even though he was very curious about it.
In Fang Yuechuan's eyes, Shi Yuan was undoubtedly powerful, and he also knew that there must be an unusual past behind it.
So Fang Yuechuan kept waiting until one day Shi Yuan took the initiative to tell him.

The dishes were all served quickly. The two people who had stayed up late and missed the meal were indeed hungry, so they ate quietly.
Just halfway through eating, Shi Yuan suddenly received a call on her phone. She glanced at the caller ID and saw that it was Shi Xiyue.
Shi Xiyue knew that she was eating out, so calling now might not be a good thing.
Shi Yuan put down his chopsticks and asked after getting through: "What's wrong?"
Shi Xiyue said in a panic: "Cousin, Zhou Shun just sent me a message saying that if I don't answer his call, he will expose me and him. What should I do?"
When Shi Yuan heard this, he frowned and thought for two seconds before saying, "Don't worry, I'll call him now to check on the situation."
Shi Xiyue: "Okay."
As soon as the call was hung up, Shi Yuan directly clicked on WeChat to find Zhou Shun.
Fang Yuechuan saw this and asked, "What's wrong?"
Shi Yuan dialed the voice call, and then said to the other party Yuechuan: "The man who fell in love with Shi Xiyue is called Zhou Shun. Yesterday I asked Shi Xiyue to break up with him. Now this man is making trouble and wants to marry him. Expose Shi Xiyue's matter."
Fang Yuechuan: "What is the origin of this person? You look down upon him so much that you don't even give him a chance and just beat him up?"
Shi Yuan glanced at him and then said: "What could be the reason? He told me at the time that he was just the driver. He probably also knew that I would not agree to tell the truth."
Fang Yuechuan lightly clicked his tongue and said, "Your cousin has quite a clear vision. Not to mention the many good conditions in the entertainment industry, she has just hired a driver."
Shi Yuan: "Who knows, I don't look very good, I don't have a sense of proportion."
As soon as she finished speaking, Zhou Shun answered the phone. Fang Yuechuan didn't say anything at all, but just moved closer to Shi Yuan's phone, intending to listen to the excitement.
"Sister Shi Yuan?" Zhou Shun's somewhat tentative voice came from the phone.
