The table was about two meters in diameter, and every single person had their own pot in front of them. The ingredients placed on the plate were all very convenient, but in front of Jian Wei, the variety of dishes kept on increasing.
It was a combination of meat and vegetables, and was not oily at all. It looked exceptionally healthy, but Jian Wei's expression was very bad, and she didn't know how to eat it at all before placing all the dishes on the table, "If you guys want to eat it, eat it as much as you want. With so much food, I won't be able to finish it all."
"How can that be? The Radix Sorbiae prepared this specially for you." The group of people all lowered their heads. They didn't dare to disobey Xiao Yihan's orders.
After cooking, Xiao Wang poured wine for himself, and followed everyone to toast Jian Wei. He said sincerely, "Deputy Director Jane, since you have just joined the company, we have a lot of things that we have done wrongly, I hope that you can forgive us. This is how it is when you have worked for a long time, we will make amends in the future."
"There's no need to be so polite, why would I care? Besides, the plan this time, wasn't it all done with your help? If we work in the same department, we'll still need a lot of help in the future." Jian Wei said humbly.
"Alright, cheers for the beautiful tomorrow of our design department!"
Jian Wei also poured some red wine for herself as an expression of her sincerity, but she could only drink water for free.
Thinking of this, she turned her attention to the dishes in front of her, feeling especially worried.
After the meal, everyone chatted with Jian Wei about various topics, which could be considered as increasing their understanding of each other.
"Um, Deputy Director, I have a question. What kind of scene is it like for Radix Sorbiae to propose to you? Are you crying? Is it romantic?" A young female employee asked.
Jian Wei stared blankly at her, she had just eaten something and forgot to swallow.
Little Wang patted the female staff member's shoulder. "For such a private matter, what do you think the Director would say?"
"I'm sorry, I didn't do it on purpose. It's just that I feel like my boyfriend is proposing to me. I don't know if I should agree when the time comes."
"What do you have to know? If you want to live together, just say yes. If you don't believe me, then forget it. Our situation is also different from Deputy Director's." Little Wang's words were particularly true.
"True." The female staff's tone revealed a hint of worry.
"Actually, he didn't propose marriage with me," Jian Wei took a deep breath, and then said slowly. "It's probably because there were a lot of people who were pursuing me back then, and he was afraid that I would fall in love with someone else, so he directly pulled me along to get the certificate."
"Wow," the girls present all revealed looks of surprise, "Isn't this way too overbearing, that's why I said, instead of saying that I love you, I'll marry you. I said that if I marry you, it's better than taking you to get my proof, seems like not only does Radix Sorbiae have high intelligence, it also has very high EQ."
Jian Wei shook her head, "No way, I'm just a complete scoundrel."
When she said these words, Jian Wei's heart was in a mess. She and Xiao Yihan's relationship was that of a child, and her mother was on good terms with Xiao Yihan's mother, so they were already betrothed when they were young. Their marriage did not have many romantic steps, and they did not even have any normal interactions before they directly entered into marriage.
However, when she said the words "loathsome bastard" to the ears of others, it was just flirting.
Amidst the envious voices, Jian Wei felt that she seemed to be lost.
Suddenly raising his head, he met Lai Nuo's gaze, afraid that he would discover that something was amiss, causing Jian Wei to immediately change into a happy expression.
About halfway through, Lai Nuo stood up, "Sorry, I suddenly have something urgent to eat, you guys take your time, goodbye."
As he spoke, he finished the wine in his cup and walked out.
The moment the door closed, Little Wang made a clicking sound.
Jian Wei thought that he definitely knew something about Lai Nuo.
Actually, the matter regarding Lai Nuo was not considered to be a secret, at least more than half of the people present knew about it. Because Jian Wei had just arrived at the company, the others did not pay attention to her.
Taking advantage of the moment, Xiao Wang started to share the gossip, "Deputy Director Jane, do you think that our Director Lai Nuo is acting weirdly? Let me tell you, he doesn't really contact us in private, and this might even be his first time attending a gathering."
This was Jian Wei's first time participating and she was surprised, "Looks like I still have quite a bit of face to invite such a difficult person."
"Yeah, you are probably too charming," Xiao Wang joked. "But then again, Director Lai Nuo is the weirdest employee in our company, do you know where he graduated from?"
"I know. Didn't the information say that it was a pretty good media school in the country, majoring in advertising design?"
Little Wang mysteriously shook her head, "No, our Director Lai Nuo came back from a famous university abroad. It is said that a lot of foreign companies want to poach him, and his salary is ten times that of our company. But he doesn't want to leave."
"Why?" Jian Wei felt that it was very possible that this was what she was thinking. For someone, choosing to stay here was not the best choice, but to give up such a good treatment, this person should be very important to him.
"It's simple. He likes our Polygonum multiflorum Thunb."
"Pu," Jian Wei almost spat out the white water she drank, "Polygonum multiflorum Thunb? Yu Ting's CEO? " This was too unbelievable. If she remembered correctly, although Lai Nuo was 33 years old this year, he should be close to 50. This kind of social interaction was not something that could be justified.
"Yeah, I knew you wouldn't be able to guess it. Actually, we don't know why, but we heard some rumors that Director Lai Nuo's family was very poor, and the previous fees for going to school and studying abroad were all paid by the Polygonum multiflorum Thunb. It was probably because of this that he had feelings for the Polygonum multiflorum Thunb."
Director Lai Nuo was an interesting person, "after Jian Wei's initial surprise, he calmed down and changed the topic," Little Wang, you can talk about this with us tonight, you better not mention it after you go to the company. "
"That's for sure. Although I like gossiping, I still have a sense of propriety." Little Wang had a confident look on his face. In his heart, his image was very deep and had its connotations.
The person sitting next to him curled his lips in disdain, "You still have a sense of propriety. I'm telling you, if you get kicked out of the company one day, it's definitely because you can't control your own gossip mouth and head."
"Hey, how can you say that? You even dragged my head onto it. Does it have anything to do with you?"
"Of course it's related. If I work for someone like you, it will be easy to lower my level."
"I …"
"Alright, the two of you stop messing around. Deputy Director is still here, stop spouting nonsense."
The two looked at Jian Wei embarrassedly before they stopped their bickering.
Jian Wei laughed, thinking that the two of them were compatible, just that, she was not the type of person who was qualified to be a Hong Niang, so she decided to wait and see how their own development played out.
After everyone was done eating, they prepared to leave.
They discussed who would get closer to whom, and brought them back along the way.
Just as Jian Wei was about to call a taxi, she saw Xiao Yihan peeking his head out.
She only had one thought in her heart, and now that she was here to pick her up, was today's performance not enough to convince the crowd?
After bidding everyone farewell, Jian Wei slowly walked over and said, "Actually, you don't need to come and pick me up. We're getting a divorce soon. You don't have to do this to me. "
"Get in the carriage," Xiao Yihan said in a cold tone. "We're not divorced yet."
Hehe. Jian Wei felt that at this moment, she was only ridiculing her in her heart.
This person truly acted as if everything he did was a matter of course. As for the feelings of others, he had never cared about them.
He sat in the back seat and didn't say a word. The air was so quiet that it was scary.
Xia Anqi was unable to contact Xiao Yihan again, and had no choice but to return to summer father.
"What, you know you're back now? I even said that you were brainwashed by that villa. " The summer father's tone was bad. He had investigated the villa that Xiao Yihan gave to Xia Anqi and found out that it was a remote area.
"Dad, what is the meaning of this? Yi Han gave it to me, how can I refuse?" Besides, it was more comfortable than living at home.
summer father rolled his eyes, "Since everything is good there, and why did you come back? You should know that right now, the most important thing for you is not the house and your bank card, but Xiao Yihan."
"I've been in contact with Yi Han for the past few days. He said that he would definitely marry me, but he needs some time, I can't force him."
"What about the specific time? Every time, you refuse to listen to me. You promised me that you wouldn't know anything once you arrived in front of him, right?"
He truly felt that his daughter had been captivated by Xiao Yihan. If she became like this before even getting married, there was no telling how he would be tricked in the future.
Xia Anqi lowered her head, as if she had made a grave mistake, "Father, this cannot be blamed on me. I have no choice but to come back and find you.
"Hmph, I already sent people to do it." This was all within summer father's expectations, it was his habit to make preparations.
"What did you get someone to do?"
"Find someone to tell Old Man Xiao that Xiao Yihan and Jian Wei's marriage is about to break down. I believe that Old Master Xiao will definitely not be able to take it."
summer father's eyes were filled with cunning, but Xia Anqi did not understand, "Why didn't you tell Old Man Xiao? The Xiao family's old patriarch doesn't like me, and even more so, wouldn't agree to let me be with Yi Han. What if Yi Han changes his mind after what you have done? "
I just want Old Man Xiao to know why you changed your mind. When that time comes, Xiao Yihan will listen to Old Man Xiao's dislike for you, and will feel even more heartache for you.
"However, our goal is for Yi Han and I to get married. Back then, the person who sent me abroad was the Xiao family's old patriarch. What if this time …"
"What's there to be afraid of? Right now, Xiao Yihan wants to make it up to you, so he'll definitely protect you when the time comes. Also, Old Man Xiao doesn't know about the matter of you giving birth to him, maybe this matter can change his attitude towards you."
Xia Anqi nodded. Speaking of which, if she wanted to marry Xiao Yihan, then Old Man Xiao must pass that trial.
It was just that she really did not understand why Old Man Xiao had always disliked her. She would only be better than Jian Wei, not worse.
