After the banquet left in anger, the cell phone in his pocket suddenly rang. He was slightly startled, and an indescribable emotion flashed across his usually stern brows.
Was it... Shen Nian called?
She finally realized what she was doing was wrong and changed her mind?
The hand holding the mobile phone in the banquet ceremony inadvertently trembled.
However, soon, the facts gave Ji Yanli a loud slap in the face.
Someone here is an assistant.
Ji Yanli answered the phone angrily, with undisguised impatience in his tone.
"What's up?"
"Mr. Ji, there are still some things in the company... I need to trouble you to come back."
The quarterly banquet was silent for a moment.
"knew......"
He originally wanted to say that when he first came to H City, he would put the company's affairs aside for a while, but recalling Shen Nian's attitude just now, he felt that it would be better for him to go back and deal with the company's affairs now.
I came here because I was worried about Shen Nian's safety. Now that Shen Nian is by Qi Shengwen's side, I can temporarily relax about the safety issue.
Although Ji Yanli was not very willing to admit it, he still had to admit that the power of the Qi family was no less than that of the Ji family, and Qi Shengwen would also protect Shen Nian's safety here.
Then it seems that there is really no need for him to stay here.
The banquet ceremony put down the phone and prepared to get up and return to the capital.
Shen Nian and Qi Shengwen returned to the Qijia's residence on the outskirts of City H, and they were speechless all the way.
Qi Shengwen always wanted to say something on the way to keep the atmosphere in the car from getting cold, but since Ji Banli turned around and left, Shen Nian's interest has been low.
Qi Shengwen saw that Shen Nian didn't want to speak, so he had to shut up for the time being.
A few days later, Shen Nian's matters in H City were finally settled.
The day before the matter ended, Shen Nian told Qi Shengwen in advance that he was leaving.
"Xiao Qi, I have disturbed your visit to H City these days."
Qi Shengwen was stunned. He looked at Shen Nian with a hint of hidden admiration in his eyes.
This subtle emotion was well hidden by Qi Shengwen. If he didn't pay special attention, others wouldn't be able to detect it.
But no matter how subtle it is, this emotion does exist in Qi Shengwen's heart after all.
Qi Shengwen didn't want his feelings to bother Shen Nian.
He wanted to give Shen Nian some time to get over his last unhappy marriage before embarking on his own pursuit.
"To me, being able to be with Miss Shen is a hundred times more enjoyable than traveling."
Shen Nian smiled slightly. She felt that the other party's words were a bit ambiguous, but in the end she didn't take it to heart.
After all, that kind of behavior that doesn't care about Shen Nian's feelings at all is something that a jerk like Ji Yanli would do.
He, Qi Shengwen, would not do it.
She only thought that Qi Shengwen was being polite to her.
Although Qi Shengwen was so humble to him, Shen Nian would not forget because of these words that he owed Qi Shengwen a favor for this business trip.
She will remember.
To be fair, Qi Shengwen is a very good friend. He has helped her save her life, and he also knows how to respect others, making it very easy to get along with her.
In Shen Nian's heart, he had already recognized this friend.
The next few days flew by like water.
Shen Nian basically settled the business trip matters in H City and was ready to return.
She told Qi Shengwen the night before departure, and Qi Shengwen didn't seem surprised.
Facing Shen Nian's departure, he did not hold back or express regret, but just smiled lightly.
"Okay, I'll come back to the capital to find you in a few days."
His speech and attitude seemed as if he and the other party were already familiar with each other.
Three days later, Shen Nian set off back to the capital.
On the way back, unlike the wind and rain when we came, it was a cloudless and beautiful weather.
Shen Nian looked at the scenery outside the window, lost in thought, and returned to the capital before he knew it.
The next day.
Heshan Office.
There weren't many things going on today. It happened to be evening when Shen Nian finished handling the things at hand.
She hurriedly got off work after having nothing to do. However, on her way to get off work, she saw a familiar slender figure from a distance.
The evening sun slanted down, making Ji Yanli's already slender figure even longer.
I don't know if it was Shen Nian's misunderstanding, but she always felt that her dress at the Ji Banquet had changed a bit today.
However, she clearly remembered that although the Qi Banyan ceremony was cold and noble by nature, she did not pay much attention to food, clothing and dress. It was always arranged by the people around her, and she did not dress specially.
Shen Nian frowned slightly.
She felt that there seemed to be some changes in today's quarterly banquet.
Sure enough, after being separated from him, people are different.
In the past, it was because I was dragged down by my marriage, but now I finally got rid of myself, and of course my whole person became radiant.
Shen Nian felt a slight soreness in his heart.
At that time, several colleagues from Heshan Office were also waiting for the bus in front of the company. Those colleagues seemed to have discovered the Ji Banquet standing nearby earlier than Shen Nian.
Shen Nian didn't react at all when he saw Ji Yanli, but these colleagues were different. After seeing Ji Yanli standing there, they all started whispering and unconsciously turned to look at Shen Nian.
In the eyes of this group of people, the Quarterly Banquet was calm and able to sit still, but Shen Nian was different. Amidst the discussion among the people, Shen Nian felt that he could not hold his head up.
"Isn't this the boss who came last time? Why is he here again?"
"I'm here to pick up Shen Nian."
"So affectionate, I'm so envious..."
"Shen Nian is so lucky. She has such a rich, handsome husband who still loves her. What kind of bicycle does a person need when she has lived like this?"
"Yes, yes, if I could marry the affectionate boss, why would I have to work? I could just go home and lie down."
Of course, some people are envious, others are jealous and hateful, and there are many sour voices in the crowd.
Some people couldn't help but mock Shen Nian.
"I think everyone should not be superstitious. It is not certain whether Lawyer Shen's husband is fighting for hegemony. Besides, who said this man is her husband? What if that man is just playing for fun?"
That person just saw that everyone was envious of Shen Nian, so he made a sour comment, but he didn't expect that the last sentence directly hit Ji Yanli.
The banquet cast a cold glance at that person, with no emotion or warmth in his tone.
"May I have your name?"
The person who caught the eye of Ji Yanli was a female lawyer who had worked at Heshan Firm for many years. When she heard this, she was stunned for a moment, and then the ecstasy surged in her heart.
In an instant, many thoughts flashed through her mind.
Could it be that... after working as a small lawyer for so many years, I finally had to endure all the hardships and was favored by a domineering CEO?
