Rose Manor

Chapter 35 Wishful thinking

After a day of repairs at home, Fu Jichen arrived at the company half an hour early the next day.

Shen Jianian lived with him under the same roof and was forced to walk with him.

After sitting down at the workstation, Shen Jianian yawned and lay down on the table to catch up on sleep.She stayed up until two o'clock in the morning watching the meeting materials last night, and she was really sleepy.

There is no way, she doesn't know anything at the moment, she can only work hard and spend more time than others.

The sound of a string of high-heeled shoes disturbed Qing Meng, Shen Jianian sat up in a daze, and found that the person who came in was Zhu Yilan, she quickly stood up and said hello: "Good morning, secretary."

"morning."

Zhu Yilan nodded lightly, her eyes flickered past her face, and she walked towards her independent office.

To be honest, aside from her jealousy that Shen Jianian could become Fu Jichen's woman, Shen Jianian has nothing to criticize, at most, she is not proficient in business and cannot keep up with the overall office efficiency of the secretary's office.

Since she came here, she has not relied on her status to ask for help, nor has she been arrogant to anyone, nor has she cheated or cheated. Instead, she has worked harder than others.That alone is something to appreciate.

Zhu Yilan put her bag on the desk and took out her mobile phone. It was 08:30, one hour before the meeting started.

She glanced out through the glass door. Shen Jianian was here, which meant that the man was also here and should be in the office at the moment.

Zhu Yilan thought for a while, left the secretary's office, went straight to the president's office a few meters away, raised his hand and knocked on the door.

During the second or two of waiting, sweat broke out on her palms, her throat seemed to be blocked by something, and she couldn't breathe.Back then, she had never been so nervous on the first day she joined Junshan Group.

That night was too hasty and flustered, and I didn't have time to say a lot of things.

Hearing a low "come in" from inside, Zhu Yilan took a deep breath and pushed the door open.Even though she had been mentally prepared before, the moment she saw him, her heart still trembled.

"Mr. Chen." Zhu Yilan stopped at the desk.

Fu Jichen put one hand on the open folder on the table, raised his eyelids and looked at her indifferently, his tone was as cold as before: "You have something to say."

Zhu Yilan blushed uncontrollably, out of shame and embarrassment, mixed with a hint of uneasiness. She didn't know if she could continue to stay with him.

"What happened that night was because I was confused for a while and couldn't recognize myself. I hope you can forget it." Zhu Yilan lowered his voice, "I will definitely focus on my work in the future and won't think about other things. Please , give me another chance, and I will prove it to you."

Fu Jichen looked away, looked at the document in front of him without saying a word.

Zhu Yilan swallowed, feeling a sword hanging above her head, which would fall down at any moment and sentence her to life or death.

After a long time, Fu Jichen responded with one word without emotion: "Yes."

For a moment, Zhu Yilan felt that the sword above her head had moved away, and she was rescued. A smile appeared on her tense face: "Thank you, Mr. Chen. I won't disturb you anymore."

She turned around to go out, and just as she held the doorknob with one hand, she heard the person behind her suddenly stop her: "Wait a minute."

Zhu Yilan stopped and looked back, waiting for his instructions.

Fu Jichen looked relaxed and said, "Take Shen Jia Nian to the store to pick out some dresses after get off work in the evening."

Compared with daily clothes, dresses have higher requirements on the body shape, so it is best to try them on in person.

Zhu Yilan looked unharmed and asked with a slight smile: "What occasion is it used for?"

"Banquet or something."

"Okay, I know."

Zhu Yilan packed up his mood and went out, adding a new itinerary to his memo.Staring at the line of words above, she still couldn't help but feel sad.

Feelings can't be taken back just by taking them back. It will be difficult for her to truly feel calm in a short period of time.

However, since she decided to control her heart, there will be many such things in the future, and she has to learn to pretend not to care.

After work, Zhu Yilan went to find Shen Jianian with her bag.

"Choose a dress?" Shen Jianian looked at her in surprise.

Zhu Yilan nodded: "Mr. Chen arranged it."

Shen Jianian was a little confused, she had never heard Fu Jichen mention it.

After thinking about it for a while, she thought of the invitation the night before yesterday. Qin Fan and Yin Shuyao's wedding banquet will be held at the Yinhai Hotel under the Qin family. Fu Jichen wants to attend?
But she didn't say she was going.

"It's getting late, hurry up, take my car there." Zhu Yilan raised his wrist and glanced at his watch, without asking her wishes. For her, the boss's words are orders and must be fulfilled.

Shen Jianian reluctantly followed Zhu Yilan and got into her car.

In the car, she called Fu Jichen, but she didn't answer the first call. She called the second call, and when she answered, she said directly: "I don't want to go to the wedding, can I not go?" Yin Shuyao's wedding, she Her uncle and aunt must be there. She doesn't want to see that family again, let alone let them see her and Fu Jichen together.

Zhu Yilan, who was driving, glanced at her distractedly. She heard it right. Shen Jianian actually rejected the boss.

On the phone, Fu Jichen's tone was lazy, but what he said was unquestionable: "No."

That's why he likes to make things difficult for others?Shen Jianian was so angry that she hung up the phone, her chest heaved violently a few times, and cursed in a low voice: "Crazy."

Zhu Yilan looked surprised and looked at her again.

Shen Jia Nian was confused, she met her eyes for a moment, and asked, "Does he treat you like this?"

"What?" Zhu Yilan didn't understand.

"I said Fu Jichen, he often asks you to do things you don't want to do in private?"

Zhu Yilan was stunned. Her words sounded strange. Did she misunderstand something?

"At Rose Manor that night, I found the boss because of work, not what you think." Zhu Yilan explained in a flat tone.

Shen Jia Nian looked at her in astonishment. She ran out of Fu Jichen's bedroom that night, her clothes were messy, her eyes were red, her hair and makeup had lost their previous exquisiteness, and she looked obviously bullied. Anyone who saw her would misunderstand her and her relationship. What did Fu Jichen do inside?

Zhu Yilan looked forward and tapped the steering wheel with his fingers, thinking about how to save his dignity. After thinking about it, he couldn't find a good way to say it, so he said dryly: "I always have wishful thinking about Chen. Other than that, there is no other way." of."

Shen Jianian was silent all the way.

The destination is a high-end luxury brand store in a shopping mall.After parking the car in the underground parking lot, Zhu Yilan got out, locked the car and walked to the elevator.

Zhu Yilan felt wind under her feet as she walked, and Shen Jia Nian barely kept up with her pace. He entered the elevator and turned around to stand, watching her press the fifth floor button.

"What about you?" Zhu Yilan suddenly asked, "Are you dating Chen?"

Zhu Yilan didn't look at her as he spoke, staring at the numbers that kept jumping above the elevator.

Shen Jianian couldn't answer, she and Fu Jichen... just had a deal, they didn't even have any relationship, so there was no point in dating.Of course she couldn't tell an outsider about this.

Her friendship with Zhu Yilan was not that deep, so she could only remain silent.

Zhu Yilan didn't insist on an answer. Shen Jia Nian refused to say it, so she pretended that she hadn't mentioned it.

The elevator stopped on the fifth floor and the two of them walked out.

"This way." Zhu Yilan has been here many times and is very familiar with the surrounding directions. He pointed to the right and said to Shen Jianian, "This brand is more suitable for you."

Shen Jianian followed her into the store, and a shopping guide wearing a dark blue skirt came over and greeted her cordially: "Miss Zhu, are you here with your friends? Do you want to choose a dress?"

"Help me pick out some dresses for the banquet." Zhu Yilan pushed Shen Jianian forward.

The shopping guide's eyes shifted to Shen Jianian's face, and his eyes suddenly brightened.I receive all kinds of female customers every day. There are many who are beautiful and have excellent temperament, but I have never seen such an outstanding one like this one.

"This lady has fair skin, outstanding appearance, and a slender and well-proportioned figure. I feel that many styles are suitable for her." In the past, the shopping guide praised the customers more or less with the intention of inducing consumption, but this time it was sincere.

Zhu Yilan browsed around the store and asked Shen Jianian, "Is there anything you like?"

Before Shen Jianian could open his mouth, the shopping guide began to sell enthusiastically: "You can try our store's treasure. The goods just shipped from Europe last week, catwalk models, limited worldwide. Last night, a female star My stylist came to borrow it, but our store manager didn’t give it to me.”

As the shopping guide spoke, he led them to a slightly open area. In the glass display window, a smoke blue gauze skirt hung on a mannequin.The gauze is very thin, like clouds and mist, and the color of the skin seems to show through when worn on the body.The upper body and skirt are staggeredly decorated with three-dimensional pale pink and mint green silk flowers, and the branches and leaves are embroidered with lustrous silk threads.

The whole dress is fairy-like, elegant and gorgeous, and the shopping guide can imagine how amazing it would be on Shen Jianian.

"Do you want this one?" Zhu Yilan turned to ask Shen Jianian for advice, "Pick another two and save them for important occasions in the future."

When the shopping guide waiting at the side heard this, his eyes lit up.

Shen Jianian used to fly abroad with her best friends to watch high-end luxury brand shows, and she had a certain understanding of the dresses in the shows. The one in front of her was not cheap just based on the material and design.If it is a work by a well-known designer, the brand effect and personal fame will be even more expensive, and seven figures should not be exceeded.

Female stars in the entertainment industry usually borrow them to wear on the red carpet, and then return them when they are finished. It would be too extravagant to buy them directly.

"Or else..."

Just as Shen Jia read the words, a familiar and arrogant female voice suddenly came from behind her: "I want this dress, please wrap it up for me."

Shen Jia Nian froze.

There was no need to look back to verify anything, she knew that the person speaking was Yin Shuyao.
