The baby penguin’s eyes were sparkling as she raised her head slightly to look at him.
One hand grabbed his sleeve and gently picked at the cufflinks. The other hand held his hand and grabbed his palm from time to time.
Shen Yanqing lowered his head and looked into her eyes, listening to her voice seriously.
“You want to go to Sijiu City?” He quickly received her message.
“Yes.” Nan Ge nodded heavily. “I went once before, but I went in the summer.” She had never seen Sijiu City in the snow.
There were still two days before school started, so she could play for another two days.
Actually, she also felt that it was not appropriate to bother Shen Yanqing with this matter. She did not want to cause trouble. After all, he was going to work. However, she had just casually checked the tickets and there were no flights today.
A flight was available tomorrow morning, but she was afraid that the snow would stop when she went.
Therefore, she could only ask Shen Yanqing. Shen Yanqing replied quickly, “Wait a moment.”
“Uh huh.”
In the end, this matter was handed over to Assistant Yuan. He went out for a while and returned quickly.
“President Shen, a ticket is available.”
After confirming that there was still a seat, Shen Yanqing turned to look at Nan Ge and asked, “Did you bring your ID?”
“I did, I did!” Nan Ge patted her small bag. “Does this mean I can go now?” “Yes.” Shen Yanqing’s gaze was gentle. “But there’s another condition.”
“Go on.”
“When I’m working, you’re not allowed to run around. Wait for me at home. When I come back, I’ll take you out to look around. Is that okay?”
He did not want to restrict Nan Ge.
Although Nan Ge was also an adult, she was going out with him this time, so he naturally had to take responsibility.
Moreover, she was his girlfriend.
Of course, he could not let her go out alone.
“Actually, just do what you need to do. I’ll be fine on my own.” Nan Ge was afraid of holding up his business.
Besides, she was not a child.
Shen Yanqing shook his head.
“We naturally have to stay together.”
‘Even if you don’t need me to accompany you, I still need your company.”
Nan Ge was stunned. “Huh?”
“Speaking of which, I’ve always gone to Sijiu City for work. I’ve never been anywhere. It just so happens that I’m with you this time.”
“Actually, I don’t know much about Sijiu City. You can show me around.” Since he put it this way, Nan Ge could naturally accept it.
She even felt a sense of responsibility and dependence. This made her even more excited and she looked forward to this trip to Sijiu City.
Of course, Shen Yanqing could not just abduct Nan Ge like this. Before boarding
the plane, he asked Nan Ge to call home and make things clear.
Nan Ge did as she was told and called her mother.
Her mother had no objections and only reminded her daughter to take care of herself.
As for Nan Zhe, her mother said that she would help her keep it a secret.
In addition, Nan Zhe had been busy wooing Miss Qi Yan for the past two days and did not have the time to care about her. Nan Ge was happy and at ease.
It took two and a half hours to fly from Huai City to Sijiu City.
In the afternoon, before sunset, the group arrived at Sijiu City.
Shen Yanqing first sent Nan Ge to his residence before leaving to talk about work.
Apart from Nan Ge, there were only two maids in the four-story villa. It was very quiet here, but one could tell at a glance that there was not much life out there.
It was said that Shen Yanqing would only stay here two or three times a year. Each time, it would not exceed a week.
The two maids were very nice. They introduced her to this place and brought her fruits and various snacks.
Afraid that she would be bored, he specially bought some board games and poker cards to play with her.
It was just that the maids were a little old and could not understand it at all.
The three of them were in a mess playing Fight the Landlord.
In the end, Nan Ge gave up and went to the bedroom balcony to sit and enjoy the breeze.
From this angle, she could see the setting sun on the horizon. However, not long after she stayed, the maid called her in.
The weather in Sijiu City was not as mild as in Huai City. The cold wind was biting. It was probably a precursor to the snowy night in a few hours.
Nan Ge had nothing to do, so she sat on the sofa and checked out the tourist locations in Sijiu City.
Previously, she had come with her brother. She did not need to prepare anything. She was only responsible for eating.
But this time was different.
Nan Ge was afraid that there was something wrong with her strategy, so she asked the maids.
Nan Zhe rubbed the back of his neck tiredly and stretched lazily. He got up and walked down with his jacket, getting off work early.
He was lazy to begin with. It was normal for him to be late and leave early. It was a stark contrast to Shen Yanqing, who was a workaholic.
They were on two extremes.
“President Nan!” As soon as he entered the elevator, his secretary chased after him.
Nan Zhe raised his hand and pressed the elevator button, waiting for him.
Looking at the elevator door slowly opening, the secretary-general heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he made it in time.
Everyone knew that as long as President Nan left the company, he would disappear. He could not be reached on the phone and did not reply on WeChat.
Even if the company went bankrupt, as long as it was not working hours, President Nan would not care.
It was their luck to have such a zen boss.
He had seen employees slacking off, but he had never seen a boss slacking off.
The boss was even more enthusiastic than them about leaving work.
It was ridiculous.
“What’s the matter?” Nan Zhe glanced at his watch. He had asked Qi Yan out for dinner. If he left for Huai City now, it would be just in time.
If it was any later, it would be the evening rush hour.
The secretary said, “The chairman of Cheng An International in Sijiu City is having a birthday banquet tomorrow night. I sent you the invitation letter via email, but you didn’t seem to notice it. They’re rushing you again and asking if you want to go.”
“Cheng An International?” Nan Zhe frowned.
“That troublesome old man?”
“Uh…” The secretary did not know whether to agree or not.
“No, no.” Nan Zhe waved his hand. He was not interested in such a banquet.
“Reject it. Just get someone to prepare a gift and send it over.”
“Alright then.” The secretary sighed silently. Everyone could not wait to go.
After all, those who could attend the birthday banquet of the chairman of Cheng An International were all big shots in the country. Any one of them could shake the business world.
The birthday party was secondary. The main purpose was to socialize.
Sigh, it was a pity that his boss was not thinking of business.
However, on second thought, President Nan did not seem to need to socialize anymore…
It was always others trying to curry favor with him. There was no need for him to lower himself and agree with others.
“Then take care.” The secretary bowed slightly. As he helped him close the elevator, he took out his phone and prepared to confirm that Nan Zhe was not going to the banquet.
However, in the next second, President Nan spoke again. “Is there a list?”
“List?” The secretary was stunned for a moment before he reacted and quickly said, “Not yet. If you need it, I’ll help you ask.”
“Okay.” Nan Zhe nodded and pressed the button again. “As soon as possible.” It was true that Nan Zhe’s company did not support idlers.
Even though it was almost time to get off work, the secretary was still very efficient.
The car had only driven a few hundred meters when Nan Zhe received the guest list for the banquet.
Nan Zhe did not need to turn it over at all because, on the first page, he saw the name he was looking for: Huasheng Group, Shen Yanqing..
