Chapter 25 Hongmen Banquet

Enter password, unlock, close the door.

The moment you step into the house.

The nerve in Shen Huai's brain, which had been tense all day, finally relaxed completely.

Totally exhausted.

Shen Huai fell directly onto the sofa.

"This is only my first day at work. How am I going to get through the day if I see myself everywhere?" Shen Huai muttered to himself while lying on the sofa.

Su Meng, Lu Sheng, Lin Yeman, Tong Yue, Liu Shishi, Luo Xiaoya.

Oh, by the way, I almost forgot about Li Xinran.

First day on the job.

Met seven ex-girlfriends in a row.

Even a TV drama wouldn't dare to write such a ridiculous and bloody plot, right?
However, they were all encountered by Shen Huai alone.

Moreover, the seven of them work in the same company, so they see each other every day.

Especially Tong Yue, who suddenly became his direct supervisor.

Small-minded, logical and straightforward.

Now that he is in her hands, Shen Huai pessimistically predicts that his future career is doomed to be miserable and lonely.

If it weren't for the fact that Xingyao Company has a good future, first-class benefits, many beautiful women, and an attractive basic salary.

Shen Huai really wanted to resign every minute.

If you can't afford to offend these ladies, can't you just avoid them?
"Buzz-buzz-buzz-"

Suddenly.

The phone in my pocket suddenly started vibrating.

Shen Huai picked it up and saw that it was his mother Yang Shuqin.

"Hello?" Shen Huai cleared his throat, trying his best to sound less tired.

"Are you off work now? How do you feel about your first day at work today?"

Yang Shuqin's brisk voice floated out from the microphone.

Also reaching Shen Huai's ears was the rustling sound of mahjong tiles colliding.

"pretty good."

Shen Huai responded concisely.

What happened at work today was too outrageous, and he didn't want Yang Shuqin to know too much, otherwise it would only cause more trouble.

"Just three words?"

Yang Shuqin raised her voice a few degrees with some dissatisfaction: "Little bastard, don't you have anything more to say to me?"

"Mom, aren't you playing cards? You're talking on the phone while playing cards. Aren't you afraid of losing money?" Shen Huai quietly changed the subject.

"Tsk, bah, bah, bah, your mom is really lucky today! Wait a minute, hit!"

As Yang Shuqin was speaking, there was another sound of counting cards.

"Mom, just play cards by yourself. I'm very tired after a day's work. I won't talk anymore." Seeing this, Shen Huai pretended to hang up the phone.

"Wait a minute, don't hang up, don't hang up!"

Yang Shuqin quickly picked up her phone and said, "Little bastard, your mother hasn't even finished her words yet!"

"Then tell me quickly if it's okay, I'm really tired."

"Okay, okay," Yang Shuqin said in a deep voice, and then got to the point, "You have to come back this week no matter what."

"Where to go back to?" Shen Huai frowned.

"Where else could it be? Of course it's on the coast."

Yang Shuqin's tone was unusually serious: "Remember what I told you a few days ago? Your father's partner brought his daughter this time. I heard she's about your age."

"Originally, I planned to let you meet her on Monday, but you, the stubborn one, found me a class to attend. I don't know you? I had to persuade your dad to postpone your meeting to this weekend."

"mom!"

When Shen Huai heard this, he became anxious on the spot.

What era is this? Why are people still interested in business marriages?

Isn’t this a blatant blind date banquet?
Besides, he just graduated from college and is in the prime of his life. What's the point of kissing him?

"Mom, can I not go?" Shen Huai was very resistant.

"Of course not."

Yang Shuqin refused outright, "Although your mother is not in Jianghai City, don't think I don't know about your troubles. I must find someone to take care of you, so that I can feel at ease."

"Besides, I've also looked at her daughter's profile. She's got good looks and a good career. More importantly, -"

"Stop talking, I don't want to hear it."

Before Yang Shuqin could finish, Shen Huai interrupted her casting and said, "I said I won't see you, so it's useless no matter what you say."

"What? Are you really addicted to being a social animal?"

Seeing Shen Huai repeatedly refusing, Yang Shuqin was really a little unhappy, "You and your father have different values, and you quarrel as soon as you open your mouth. Haven't I been giving in to you for so many years? This time I just asked you to come back for a meal and meet someone. Is it possible that someone will die?"

Yang Shuqin's words rarely made Shen Huai silent.

Rough words are not rough.

Because he and his father Shen Zhiyuan have been separated for so many years, the affection between them has become very weak.

In Shen Huai's childhood memories, his father was rarely involved. Especially after he was able to earn his own living expenses, his contact with Shen Zhiyuan became even more distant.

no doubt.

Shen Zhiyuan has an outstanding business sense and acumen.

But as a father, Shen Huai felt that he was a failure.

If it weren't for his mother Yang Shuqin, Shen Huai would have broken off completely with Shen Zhiyuan long ago.

In silence, Yang Shuqin's words still lingered in his ears: "Just meet once, okay? Mom won't force you. If you don't like it, we won't talk. Meeting won't lose any meat, right?"

Hearing this, Shen Huai sighed deeply.

"Okay, but remember, Mom, I agreed to this just for your sake. I didn't want to do this at first."

Hearing Shen Huai's words, Yang Shuqin's originally low tone suddenly brightened up again: "Okay, okay, okay, got it, then I'll have someone buy you a ticket right now, first class for Saturday morning! That's it!"

"No, I myself——"

"toot toot"

Before Shen Huai could finish his words, a busy tone came from the other end of the phone.

"…This old mother, why is she always so anxious?"

Shen Huai shook his head helplessly, hung up the phone with a sigh, and sank back into the sofa.

Empty living room, quiet atmosphere.

Looking at the sky gradually darkening outside the window.

Shen Huai sank deeply into the sofa, always feeling that something was missing.

He took out his cell phone, turned on Bluetooth, and connected it to the surround sound system in the living room.

Followed by.

Shen Huai opened the music app, randomly clicked on "Guess You Like", and then pressed the play button——

"Who still remembers who said first, love me forever"

"A word from the past will be our wound in the future"

"It's been too long, no one remembers the tenderness back then"

"You and I hold hands and say we will be together until the end"

A song called "Remember" came out from the speakers in a slow and melodious voice.

Shen Huai was stunned for a moment.

If he remembered correctly, it seemed to be Lu Sheng's favorite song.

This set of audio equipment is fully imported, extremely expensive, and the sound quality is extremely penetrating.

Plus, Shen Huai’s voice was not small.

If nothing unexpected happens.

I'm afraid Lu Sheng, who was sitting on the other side of the wall, also heard him playing this song.

Shen Huai pounded his forehead in pain.

What’s going on with this big data? Even you want to make trouble for it?
Shen Huai quickly picked up his phone and prepared to change a song.

As soon as I got up, someone suddenly rang the doorbell.

Lu Sheng?

Shen Huai subconsciously thought of Lu Sheng.

But on second thought, that’s not right.

Ringing the doorbell in such a polite and shy way doesn't seem like something Lu Sheng would do.

If it were her, she would definitely slam the door.

But if it wasn’t Lu Sheng, then who could it be?
Shen Huai put on his slippers and walked to the door.

Through the peephole, Shen Huai discovered a fully armed woman standing at the door.

Sunglasses, masks and hats are all available, and he is wrapped tightly from head to toe.

Shen Huai frowned slightly, then took hold of the door handle and gently turned it——

The moment I saw Shen Huai.

The woman's action of ringing the doorbell stopped in mid-air.

Then, the woman took off her sunglasses at lightning speed, revealing an incredible expression:
"I didn't expect that, Shen Huai, you actually live here."

Shen Huai looked at the familiar pair of deer eyes in front of him and froze in place.

"Li... Li Xinran?"

The corner of Shen Huai's mouth twitched.

How did she know my address?
"Who still remembers when love began to change?"

Behind me, the melodious and sad lyrics slowly came out.

Looking at Li Xinran's eyes that were gradually becoming delighted.

Shen Huai finally realized it belatedly -

Skillful.

Li Xinran’s favorite song is also "Remember".
