Chapter 25: Will You Marry Me?
Two days later, the development rights of the Southwest Project were unsurprisingly obtained by Duan Ruihua and Shen Jiawen, whether it was the company's qualifications, project funds, or development plans, they were the best, and such success was also expected by everyone, that night, Duan and Du Shi held a small celebration reception.
This project is a joint project between Duan's and Du's, and Duan's is naturally in charge of Duan Ruihua, but although Du's president is Du Kang, everyone knows that Du Kang has delegated a lot of power to Shen Jiawen during this time, and Du Kang rarely goes to the company, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the current person in charge of the company is Shen Jiawen. In addition, Shen Jiawen is in charge of this project, so only Duan Ruihua and Shen Jiawen were seen at this celebration reception, but Du Kang was not seen.
"Congratulations, congratulations." Everyone made peace to Duan Ruihua and Shen Jiawen one after another, they were all people who bowed their heads in the mall and didn't look up, and some polite words were inevitable.
Shen Jiawen stood beside Duan Ruihua in a black suit in a bright red evening dress, a talented man and a woman, very compatible, if it weren't for the people who came here to know that tonight was a cocktail party to celebrate the Southwest Project, otherwise they really would have to misunderstand that they were here to congratulate Duan Ruihua and Shen Jiawen on their 100-year reunion.
Although it was a small celebration reception, the people who came in were all invited to enter the venue, and Ou Dezhong, who had a good relationship with Duan's family, naturally came, but this time only Ou Dezhong and his family attended, and Ou Mufei did not come.
Shen Jiawen came out of the bathroom and returned to the venue to see Ou Dezhong talking to a bank president, and Ou Dezhong was standing next to a woman, just looking at the back to determine that it was not Ou Mufei.
Shen Jiawen didn't want to say hello to Ou Dezhong, looked around, and saw Duan Ruihua talking to others on the other side of the venue, she hesitated and walked in the opposite direction. But as soon as he took two steps, he saw the woman next to Ou Dezhong turn his face, and when he saw the woman's appearance clearly, Shen Jiawen paused.
Jiang Lian! It's really as good as its name, I feel sorry for it! Shen Jiawen looked at the woman, with a sneer on his face, the so-called gentle and virtuous lady, I see that the pity is all pretended, but in her bones she is scheming and femme fatale.
"Acquaintance?" I don't know when Duan Ruihua walked over and followed Shen Jiawen's gaze towards Jiang Lian.
"I don't know." Shen Jiawen retracted his sharp gaze, denied it in a cold voice, and then walked towards the balcony where there were few people.
Don't recognize? Duan Ruihua raised his eyebrows, he was a little suspicious! Although he was talking to others just now, his eyes kept paying attention to Shen Jiawen, and he saw that Shen Jiawen had been looking at Jiang Lian, his eyes were cold, and there was a trace of hatred. He didn't know why Shen Jiawen's eyes showed hatred, so he came over to investigate.
"Since you don't know each other, let's get acquainted." Shen Jiawen didn't take two steps before he was pulled by Duan Ruihua and walked in the direction of Ou Dezhong and Jiang Lian, "Uncle Ou, Aunt Jiang, you are here." ”
"Ruihua, ...... you" Jiang Lian just wanted to greet Duan Ruihua warmly, but when she saw Duan Ruihua holding a woman's hand, she was slightly stunned, a trace of ruthlessness flashed in her eyes, and then asked with a gentle smile: "Who is this young lady?" ”
"Shen Jiawen, the president of Dushi Group who cooperates with us, Manager Shen." Duan Ruihua let go of Shen Jiawen and introduced Jiang Lian, "Jiawen, this is President Ou's wife." ”
"Oh!" Shen Jiawen's voice was very cold, and he didn't even care about Duan Ruihua's change of address to her.
Jiang Lian just wanted to open her mouth to greet Shen Jiawen, but seeing Shen Jiawen's cold attitude made her very embarrassed and made the atmosphere very embarrassing. But she looked at Shen Jiawen seriously.
She traveled abroad with a few sisters before, and as soon as she came back, she heard Ou Mufei's complaints, and later learned from Ou Dezhong that Duan Ruihua was very interested in a woman recently, so she and Ou Dezhong participated in this tonight
Cocktail party.
"Miss Shen is very young." After all, Jiang Lian is a person who has seen the world, and the embarrassment is only fleeting, and he quickly said with a smile, "So young and so capable." ”
"That's not as good as Mrs. Ou's ability." Shen Jiawen didn't want to talk to Jiang Lian, but since Jiang Lian was hypocritically complimenting, she pulled the corners of her mouth and looked at Jiang Lian with a smile.
"Oh?" Jiang Lian looked at Shen Jiawen in slight surprise. She didn't think that Shen Jiawen was being modest, but felt that she was mocking her, and just when she wanted to ask clearly, Shen Jiawen spoke again.
"Please, take your leave." Shen Jiawen saw that Jiang Lian had something to say, but she didn't let Jiang Lian speak, today she was on business, she didn't plan to stimulate Jiang Lian, so as not to embarrass the scene when she got it.
Shen Jiawen turned around and left, and Duan Ruihua, who had been watching the play, politely said a few words to Ou Dezhong and Jiang Lian and left to find Shen Jiawen.
"There is a grudge!" Seeing Shen Jiawen standing on the balcony with champagne blowing the wind, in summer, even with the heat of the day in the air, Duan Ruihua felt very stuffy as soon as he walked out.
"You're thinking too much." Shen Jiawen responded lightly, took a sip of the wine glass, and then turned to look at Duan Ruihua, "Duan Ruihua, if I promise to associate with you, will you marry me?" ”
"Married?" Duan Ruihua's expression was slightly stunned, he admitted that Shen Jiawen was a little different from other women, which made her very interested, but this interest was not big enough to get married.
Seeing the expression on Duan Ruihua's face, Shen Jiawen smiled. The smile was tinged with sarcasm, which made Duan Ruihua look a little dazzling.
Shen Jiawen seemed to not see Duan Ruihua's gloomy expression, put the wine glass on the balcony, and then took two steps closer to Duan Ruihua, the two were very close, Shen Jiawen reached out and grabbed Duan Ruihua's tie, and with a slight pull, he pulled Duan Ruihua in front of her.
The two of them were face to face, and they could feel each other's breathing when they were close, Shen Jiawen suddenly put his face to Duan Ruihua's ear, and said lightly: "It's not that I can't afford to play, but I don't want to waste time playing with you people, if you can't marry me, don't come and harass me." ”
There was still a hint of charm in the previous words, but in the last sentence, Duan Ruihua heard the warning in Shen Jiawen's tone, he had not yet recovered from Shen Jiawen's actions, Shen Jiawen suddenly kissed him on the cheek, and left with a smile, and that smile was ill-intentioned.
Watching Shen Jiawen leave, Duan Ruihua's face became serious and solemn, there are some things that everyone can turn a blind eye to, but once some things are clarified, they cannot be ignored. Just like what Shen Jiawen said just now, either get married, or get away.
After pondering, a smile slowly appeared on Duan Ruihua's face, interesting, really interesting, if he really agreed to get married, would Shen Jiawen really marry him?
"Is that the woman the one who makes our daughter unhappy?" Jiang Lian asked Ou Mufei beside her, she always felt that Shen Jiawen was a little familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen it, "It's just a little girl, about the same age as our Fei'er, is it that powerful?" ”
"It's not great to be able to fascinate Ruihua." Ou Dezhong raised his chin, and his eyes and tone were full of disdain for Shen Jiawen.
Jiang Lian looked at the balcony, the distance was a little far, and because of the lighting, he couldn't hear what Shen Jiawen and Duan Ruihua said, but Shen Jiawen's behavior of pulling Duan Ruihua's tie, and taking the initiative to kiss in front of Duan Ruihua all fell into her and Ou Dezhong's eyes.
Jiang Lian's eyes flashed with a cruel gaze, and he sneered in his heart, he was really a fox spirit.
After that night, the Southwest Project began to be officially put into operation, and Shen Jiawen had already dealt with all the problems with the people on Duan's side in the early stage, so Shen Jiawen didn't need to go to Duan's meeting after that, and Du's side also arranged for people to contact Duan's side.
And Duan Ruihua never appeared in front of Shen Jiawen again after the cocktail party, as if the world had evaporated, Shen Jiawen only occasionally thought of Duan Ruihua's words about pursuing her when he was free, but she just smiled, and spent more time working.
She took off her glasses and pinched her eyebrows, with half-eaten sandwiches in her hand, as well as coffee that had already cooled, she threw the sandwich into the garbage basket on the side without hesitation, and then walked to the bar, poured the cold coffee into the sink, washed the cup, and when everything was packed up and ready immediately, she inadvertently saw a circle drawn on the desk calendar on the table, and she remembered that Du Kang's plane would fly to Canada tomorrow in the afternoon.
Shen Jiawen patted his head, she was too busy these days, she was going to buy a gift for Du Kang to take to her mother, it would be her mother's birthday in a few days, but she couldn't fly over to celebrate her mother's birthday, so she planned a birthday gift.
Shen Jiawen looked at her itinerary for tomorrow, there is no other arrangement except for a regular meeting tomorrow morning, this meeting can be attended by the secretary for her, she can take advantage of the morning time to go to the mall to buy gifts, and then go back to the villa at noon to accompany Du Kang for lunch, and drive Du Kang to the airport in the afternoon.
Shen Jiawen sent a text message to her secretary and informed her of tomorrow's work before she left the company with her bag.
The next morning, Shen Jiawen had a rare sleep, opened the refrigerator after getting up, and saw that it was empty, so she decisively closed the refrigerator and went out to eat.
Casual long skirt, a pair of white canvas shoes, soft long hair was tied up in a ponytail, the whole person was full of youthful atmosphere, she ate a bowl of noodles at a restaurant next to her mall, and then watched people enter the mall one after another, she walked into the mall.
Shen Jiawen had already thought about giving Shen Huibin a gift last night, so today he went straight to the counter, calling Du Sihan in the United States as he walked.
"Sister, you didn't go to work?" Du Sihan asked, yawning. "I'm busy with my dissertation, and I haven't slept for more than twenty-four hours."
"Uncle Kang went to Canada today to accompany my mother, and it will be my mother's birthday in a few days, don't forget the gifts." Shen Jiawen explained to Du Sihan.
"Sister, what are you sending?" Du Sihan cheered up and asked, every year on Shen Huibin's birthday, the sister and brother would discuss the gifts they gave each other.
"Pearls." Shen Jiawen didn't hide it, "Mom likes pearls, so I plan to buy a set of pearl jewelry for Uncle Kang to bring over and give it to her." ”
"Mommy shouldn't be short of jewelry, Dad gave her enough." Du Sihan muttered a few words, and thought seriously for a while before saying, "Sister, then I'll send the clothes." Last week, I went to Milan with my classmates to watch a fashion show, and one of the clothes was very Chinese-style, with the pearl jewelry you gave me, I felt quite OK. ”
"Okay." Shen Jiawen readily agreed, and then said: "Since you have time to go to Milan to watch the fashion show, I don't think you should mind flying to Canada to celebrate your mother's birthday, and Uncle Kang hasn't seen you either." ”
"Sister!" Du Sihan wailed on the phone, knowing that since Shen Jiawen spoke, he would not let him refuse, so he had to agree pitifully, "It's okay for me to accompany Mommy to celebrate their birthdays, but you promise me one thing." ”
"It's up to you to behave." After speaking, Shen Jiawen hung up the phone, and the person had already walked into the jewelry store.
