"Is it?"

Meng Yan felt that this was not Shen Tulong's usual way of doing things.

"This guy has never liked outsiders interfering in his private affairs! We friends would occasionally ask him a question, but he always kept his distance from his subordinates and kept his work and life very separate! This time he actually took you on a business trip back to his hometown. He's really changed his ways."

Wenwen was nervous and began to stutter slightly:

"Um, I think...maybe...maybe it's because I'm meticulous, he thinks I'm reliable...so he asked me to be his assistant, to go back to my hometown and help with some chores..."

Meng Yan: "...I see."

Hearing Wenwen say this, Ganqi, who was standing to the side, suddenly felt a sense of relief and couldn't help but sigh:

"Wenwen, this means your hard work has paid off! Your boss values ​​you and wants to mentor you!"

Little did she know that her honest and naive cousin had already had an affair with the boss, and the two had crossed the final line.

Not only could she not see it, but no one else thought there was any possibility between Wenwen and Shen Tulong.

Wenwen laughed awkwardly, trying her best not to let them notice anything amiss.

Gan Qi continued, "You must have met a lot of his relatives when you went to his hometown on this business trip, right? I heard that he is a well-known cold-faced CEO who likes to work alone. After he became successful, he built bridges and paved roads to give back to his hometown. His hometown is now a well-known wealthy village. These have been reported in magazines."

Gan Qi doesn't usually pay much attention to magazine gossip; most of it comes from her best friend Tao Xixi's reposts.

Although Shen Tulong did not have the same power as the Meng family, he was still a well-known successful person.

Wenwen: "Hmm... I met him. He has many relatives in his hometown. They are all very nice people. Some of them have old-fashioned ideas, but they are all of good character."

Gan Qi smiled and said, "Look how lucky you are! You're going back to your boss's hometown with him, and you even get a bonus. He's giving you local specialties too. If there were more good bosses like this in the world, why would I need to start my own business? I'd go to work too."

When Meng Yan heard his wife say this, he couldn't bear to tell her: Shen Tulong is not an easy person to get along with.

Those who are close friends know that Shen Tulong can be quite gloomy when he's serious.

Wenwen regretted bringing up the topic herself; her smile looked more like a grimace.

"Um……"

What happened during those two days of business trip is known only to heaven and earth! Only she and Shen Tulong, the two parties involved, know, and this will remain a secret forever!

Meng Yan noticed the unnatural expression on Wenwen's face, especially the panic in her eyes, which he keenly observed.

"Wenwen, why do you look so tense? You don't want us to ask too many questions. Did you have some bad memories from this business trip? Did your boss bully you?"

"Huh??? No, no, no, absolutely not!"

Wenwen waved her hands frantically, trying her best to deny it.

"I'm just... flattered."

Gan Qi: "It's Wenwen's first business trip, so she must be nervous. I understand."

Meng Yan still felt something was off:

"What kind of work could Shen Tulong possibly have back home that he needs to bring along an inexperienced assistant... He usually solves most things by simply paying money, could it be that there's some troublesome matter back home?"

Wenwen became even more nervous.

Her brother-in-law, being such a powerful figure, could easily see through people's hearts, and she didn't want her secret to be discovered so easily!

How can I face people after that?

"No...nothing at all..."

Meng Yan frowned and said:

“Wenwen, although you’re not exactly a career woman, you’re hardworking and dedicated, and we’ve all seen that. Shen Tulong is used to being a boss who’s high and mighty. If he takes advantage of your good temper to bully and exploit you, tell me! I’ll help you get justice.”

Wenwen: "My boss really didn't mistreat me, he's very good to me, really!"

Gan Qi: "I met Mr. Shen Tulong before. He seems like a gentleman."

Meng Yan: "You don't understand him. To get to where he is today from scratch, he must be a ruthless and heartless person who can put emotions aside."

He wasn't trying to smear his friends, but rather to let them know: don't treat Shen Tulong like an innocent little rabbit.

Meng Yan said in a deep voice, "With my connection, Shen Tulong won't bully Wenwen. I just find it strange—it doesn't make sense to let a naive girl like Wenwen go back to his hometown with him."

Wenwen wanted to explain, but she felt very guilty, and her voice grew softer and softer, like a mosquito's buzz.

"...I was really just an assistant."

Meng Yan's words made Gan Qi more skeptical.

"Oh right, since we asked you to go back to his hometown to help, what did you actually do there?"
