Wenwen's hands trembled slightly as she awkwardly opened the door to the tea room.

Their eyes met, and both sides felt awkward.

Both assistants were close to Shen Tulong and naturally recognized Wenwen. Their expressions were inexplicably tense.

They were usually serious and rarely smiled, but they never expected that their gossipy remarks would be overheard by this female employee.

Moreover, they knew that the CEO usually took good care of this woman. Therefore, they couldn't show Wenwen an unpleasant expression.

Wenwen explained, "I stayed to work overtime and came to the break room to make myself a cup of coffee."

The two assistants coughed awkwardly twice: "Yes, we're here to get the documents for Mr. Shen."

One of them asked, "When did you enter the break room? How much of the conversation did you hear?"

"Dialogue? What dialogue?"

Wenwen tried to imitate what she saw on TV, but could only pretend that she knew nothing.

"I was making coffee inside, and the coffee machine was very loud, so I didn't hear anything outside."

Her words relieved the two assistants.

Even if they could guess that it was an excuse, at least they maintained a semblance of dignity for both sides.

"Ah."

At this moment, Wenwen cared more about Shen Tulong, and she mustered up her courage:

"Is President Shen downstairs? Why hasn't he come to the company these past few days?"

Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask.

Wenwen hesitated for a moment, then said, "Okay, sure."

She returned to her workstation with the coffee in her arms, looking like she was about to continue working overtime.

The two assistants exchanged a glance, then turned and left together with the documents.

Wenwen secretly watched the two leave out of the corner of her eye, her heart pounding.

She couldn't concentrate on her work at all. Shen Tulong was downstairs, and she really wanted to know what he had been busy with these past two days... even though she knew very well that it was none of her business to worry about her boss.

But... she really wanted to know.

Wenwen thought of the little gold lock that Shen Tulong had given Lele. It was such a precious gift, and she had to thank him in person.

Thinking of this, Wenwen slowly stood up.

She hesitated in her mind, but her body seemed to obey her will, and she quietly went downstairs.

A limited-edition, all-black Bentley was parked downstairs at the company.

It is spacious and imposing.

Shen Tu Longtou leaned back in his seat, closing his eyes to rest, looking very tired.

Two assistants handed him documents to review, and Wenwen, who was far behind in the car, couldn't hear what they were exchanging inside and outside the car.

Shen Tulong slowly rolled down the car window, took the documents, and quickly flipped through them.

The two assistants were very nervous, keeping their heads down and not daring to look directly at their boss.

Fortunately, one of the documents was correct. After Shen Tulong signed it briefly, he handed it back to them and asked them to keep it safe.

At that moment, he glanced around the car and realized that someone was following them and secretly watching them.

The small figure not far away was Wenwen; she was huddled behind a pillar, thinking no one would notice her.

In an instant, several bodyguards in black suits appeared out of nowhere and quickly subdued her.

"ah!"

Wenwen was startled and instinctively trembled.

The bodyguards in black escorted her directly to Shen Tulong's car.

Shen Tulong was somewhat surprised when he saw that it was Wenwen.

"It's you?"

He waved his hand, signaling the bodyguards to release her.

"Why are you here?"

Wenwen blushed and said, "I... I'm working overtime."

She lowered her head, not daring to meet his gaze. In this awkward moment, her legs felt like they were filled with lead.

Shen Tulong smelled slightly of alcohol, which Wenwen could clearly smell while standing next to the car.

He rubbed his temples with his fingers, probably trying to clear his head; he had clearly drunk quite a bit today.

Wenwen mustered her courage and asked with concern, "Did you drink a lot?"

"Ah."

"...Drinking is bad for your health, you need to take care of yourself."

Wenwen blurted it out, but quickly realized she had been meddling too much.

Shen Tulong glanced at her, his expression slightly languid, but his eyes remained as sharp as ever.

What were you doing hiding there just now?

Wenwen: "I... I remembered the gold lock you gave Lele a couple of days ago, and I wanted to thank you in person."

Shen Tulong: "Didn't I tell you on the phone that it wasn't me who gave it to you, but my third uncle? Just accept his kindness."

As he spoke, he glanced down at his watch to check the time.

"It's so late, who made you stay and work overtime?"

He thought Wenwen was being targeted by her colleagues at the company.

Wenwen quickly replied, "No one asked me to; I volunteered to work overtime."

"Working overtime again? Didn't I tell you before that since you have children at home, you have to balance work and family? Our company isn't the kind of inhumane company that lets you leave unfinished work for tomorrow. It's not like the sky is falling."

Wenwen felt ashamed: "This is what I should have done. I wasn't in a good state during the day, which is why I couldn't finish the work. Working overtime is only right."

Before she could say anything more, Shen Tulong said, "I'll have the driver take you home."

"No need, Mr. Shen, I'll just take the bus home after I finish working overtime."

"By the time you finish working overtime, the last bus will be gone."

"I can also ride a shared bike."

"Why is a girl riding a bicycle so late at night? Get on my bike now and I'll take you home."

"This... isn't a good idea. I haven't finished my work yet, what if my boss asks me for it tomorrow?"

Shen Tulong: "You can come a little earlier tomorrow. There's no need to stay up all night. You live so far away. It's not safe for you to go home alone in the middle of the night."

"Uh……"

Wenwen glanced at him furtively with her doe-like eyes. Shen Tulong, as always, had sharp features and an aura that brooked no refusal.

Everything remained the same as before, as if the two were still an unfamiliar president and subordinate.

That's it.
