Chapter 862 -312: This Guy Is a Scumbag—Don’t Fall for His Tricks Again!

The next morning.

Dingsheng Mansion, New Era headquarters.

Yan Qiuwen didn’t take a leave today and came to work as usual.

After getting a drip yesterday, she woke up feeling that her body was no longer in serious trouble.

She saw Song Yuwei with a face full of smiles, in a good mood in the company.

“Assistant Song, it looks like you slept well last night.”

Yan Qiuwen said meaningfully.

“Indeed, I did.”

Song MM’s smile was bright.

Although she was woken up in the middle of the night, the surprise was too sweet not to be happy about.

At the same time, she was a bit puzzled as to why Yan Qiuwen would ask about this; the company’s advisor is never one to dwell on trivial matters.

As expected, I knew it.

Yan Qiuwen instantly confirmed her suspicion.

Turns out, not everyone is afraid of injections; many even find joy in them…

Seeing Song Yuwei’s rosy complexion, Yan Qiuwen thought to herself that the human body is truly mysterious. Logically, Song Yuwei should be sleep-deprived and tired, yet her mental state was surprisingly good.

Traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes the balance of yin and yang, which might hold some truth.

As soon as she reached the office, before she had a chance to warm her seat, Su Zelin walked in.

This morning, since he hadn’t received a call from Yan Qiuwen, he knew she had come to work.

“Qiuwen, are you feeling better?”

The slacker asked with concern.

“Thanks, I’m much better. President Su, if we’re talking about health maintenance, you should be the one to take care of your health more carefully.”

Yan Qiuwen’s tone was nonchalant.

Su Zelin felt there was a hidden meaning in her words.

When Yan Qiuwen calls him “President Su,” it’s either in formal occasions out of necessity or to express dissatisfaction.

This time, it seemed to be more of the latter because she even added “you.”

It sounded particularly polite.

But Yan Qiuwen clearly wasn’t someone who would be polite to him.

She was likely implying that he had gone to Song Yuwei’s place last night.

At the time, the slacker did send a text to Yan Qiuwen from Song MM’s house, realizing it was inappropriate only after sending it.

If it were someone else, sending a text to check-in in the middle of the night wouldn’t be a big deal.

However, the recipient was Yan Qiuwen, who could deduce a lot from the smallest clues.

Therefore, that text should have been sent about ten minutes later.

But since it was already sent and couldn’t be taken back, he chose to let it go, knowing Yan Qiuwen understands his nature, sometimes even acting as his accomplice.

The slacker could only chuckle awkwardly: “No worries, I work out regularly, I’m fit.”

“Indeed, President Su enjoys climbing, even going out to climb in the middle of the night.”

Perhaps influenced by the slacker, Yan Qiuwen also started to speak mockingly.

“The weather today is really nice!”

Su Zelin looked at the gloomy sky outside and laughed, trying to change the subject.

“Qiuwen, since you’re feeling better now, I can be at ease, but still, don’t overexert yourself today. Don’t work overtime, go home early.”

With these words, the slacker was about to leave.

Thinking about the coat draped over her when she woke up in the hospital last night, the softest part of Yan Qiuwen’s heart seemed to be touched, and she blurted out: “Why don’t we have dinner together after work?”

“Dinner?”

Su Zelin was slightly surprised.

He had asked Yan Qiuwen out to dinner several times before, but it was always with Qin Shiqing or other colleagues.

Yan Qiuwen had never invited him to dinner before, except for the last time at her home, but that was mainly because her parents wanted to meet him.

Moreover, now she seemed to have some complaints about him running off to “climb mountains” in the middle of the night, yet she was planning to invite him for dinner, which was puzzling.

“Consider it a thank you for your company last night. If you’re busy, forget it!”

The girl replied with a hint of arrogance.

“I’m free, how could I decline the invitation from my female strategist!”

Su Zelin promptly agreed.

If there’s anyone he needs to curry favor with,

it’s definitely Yan Qiuwen.

She’s extremely important to him.

Not only for the value she brings to the company but also for helping him win Qin Shiqing over.

“I’ll wait for you after work.”

“OK, see you after work!”

During the day, he was still busy handling the mountain of files, along with countless emails on his computer. Every few days, the provincial leaders must report to him. For the next few months, there’s no chance he’ll have leisure time with this workload.

Beyond the high-load work, he could still manage to climb mountains almost every night. With such hard work, aside from maintaining fitness, it’s true he has exceptional talent.

For an ordinary person, even if they’re young, they would collapse quickly if they tried to keep up with this lifestyle. Yet, the slacker was used to it. In his previous life, he had been accustomed to it and remained fit in his thirties. Having endless nightly companions, like a perpetual motion machine, made even the Hed tycoons envious, regretting that they didn’t possess the superhero-like iron physique of their idols.

He was busy this way until 5 PM, the company’s designated quitting time.

Su Zelin sighed with relief.

Because of his agreement with Yan Qiuwen, today he needed to leave early.

Well, consider it a break from busyness.

He packed his things, left the office, found Yan Qiuwen, and then they both left the company together. Other employees didn’t find it strange.

Despite the advisor position not being the top-tier in the company and lacking managerial authority,

Yan Qiuwen was especially valued by Su Zelin, involved in almost all important affairs and plans, a definite leader of the think tank.

Therefore, her standing in New Era was particularly high, and her close relationship with Su Zelin wasn’t unexpected.
