Zhang Xuan saw Manager Li also switched sides, quickly glanced at the office door nearby, and deliberately raised her voice, "Assistant Jin, I used to be deskmates with your General Shi. I thought it would be so lucky to work with an old classmate this ti."
Soon, a shallow regret appeared on her face, "I didn’t expect on the first day after the training period ended, your company was already full, and we have no chance to work together. So, I wanted to take the chance to see him and say hello before leaving."
Assistant Jin didn’t expect General Shi to have a bad day and fire several gossiping female subordinates, coincidentally including the forr classmate.
What could he say?!
This classmate’s luck was really not that great.
However, with this relationship in mind, Assistant Jin couldn’t keep a cold face, "I’ll report to General Shi again, please wait a mont."
...
"General Shi."
When Assistant Jin entered Shi Wangyue’s office again, his attention was no longer on work; he was calmly staring out the window, lost in thought.
"What’s up?"
"Do you rember a forr deskmate nad Zhang Xuan?" Assistant Jin asked cautiously.
As Shi Wangyue’s senior assistant, he was quite familiar with his boss’s private life and work.
He knew his boss’s daily life was extrely simple, revolving around work and Teacher Ning.
He had never seen him attending any ineffective social events or discussing the past, let alone past classmates.
His boss, before returning to China, was mostly silent and unapproachable.
To many, he seed lonely and distant, and often invited him to join various activities and introduced all kinds of friends.
But Assistant Jin understood clearly that those people should save their pity.
Soone like his boss, with such depth in his heart, has his own world within, a pure land others cannot touch, magnificent and stunning...
Where cattle and sheep gather, lions and tigers only roam alone.
"Don’t rember." Shi Wangyue’s exceptionally handso face was indifferent.
"Alright, I see."
Assistant Jin quietly closed the door and reappeared before the human resources manager and Zhang Xuan.
"Sorry, our General Shi doesn’t rember a deskmate like you."
He wouldn’t express the information gently just because the other party is a woman.
He didn’t want to create unnecessary misunderstandings.
"General Shi sure has a selective mory," Zhang Xuan’s face stiffened, and after a long pause, she forced a smile, "Then I won’t bother you anymore, goodbye."
Zhang Xuan left, and the human resources manager quickly followed her.
Manager Li politely escorted Zhang Xuan out of the company, "Did you really used to be deskmates with our General Shi?"
"Could I have made that up?" Zhang Xuan held back her displeasure, responding jokingly, "Your General Shi was outstanding from a young age; he entered our school as the top scorer in the Jin City high school entrance exam at that ti."
"Jin City high school entrance exam top scorer?" Manager Li exclaid, "General Shi doesn’t usually talk much at the company, we had no idea he had such a past."
Zhang Xuan smiled, "The genius has always been aloof, and it’s hard for ordinary people to get close to him."
"Genius?" Manager Li’s face was full of admiration, "Our General Shi is indeed impressive."
He gave Zhang Xuan a thumbs up, "I’ve heard people say our General Shi has been a math prodigy since childhood, always winning gold dals in math competitions."
Zhang Xuan knew Manager Li wanted more details to verify if she was lying; fortunately, having just had a social death mont with Assistant Jin, talking more with Manager Li could help regain so face.
"He’s good at everything; math is just his favorite subject." Zhang Xuan said in a reminiscent tone, "He won first place in the 27th National High School Mathematics League and was selected for the 2016 International Mathematical Olympiad national team training."
Manager Li nodded repeatedly, finally convinced that Zhang Xuan was Shi Wangyue’s deskmate.
"I imagine you must have been very good too, to be deskmates with our General Shi." He probed, "I suppose you had a good relationship? Are you both graduates of Jin City No.1 High School?"
"Pretty good." Zhang Xuan said vaguely, "We went to De Yin Public School."
"So both you and our General Shi studied at De Yin Public School? No wonder you’re graduates from prestigious overseas universities!" Manager Li marveled.
The two of them had arrived at the elevator.
Zhang Xuan politely smiled, "Manager Li, please stop here. Thank you for today, bye-bye."
...
On Saturday, Ning Youguang and Shi Wangyue both slept until naturally waking.
After waking up, Ning Youguang got up slowly to shower and blow-dry her hair.
Shi Wangyue, after brushing his teeth, put scone burgers in the air fryer to heat them, and ground two cups of coffee while also making an arugula cucumber salad.
Ning Youguang ca out after showering, and they leisurely had a brunch.
Both of them were used to focusing, so when eating, they just ate.
Eating earnestly, and quickly.
Even so, after finishing breakfast, it was already past ten-thirty.
While Shi Wangyue was cleaning up the plates, Ning Youguang received a voice call from Ming Jinxin —
"What are you doing? Not replying to WeChat."
"Having brunch." Ning Youguang said leisurely.
"It’s almost ti to move in tomorrow. Aren’t you preparing today?" Ming Jinxin was highly surprised.
"What to prepare for?" Ning Youguang lounged on the sofa in a creamy beige fluffy robe, her voice also soft, "There’s nothing much to prepare."
"How can there be no preparation?" Ming Jinxin’s voice was full of helplessness, "Fireworks, flowers, ingredients, rice, oil, sauces, etc. Have you bought them? Tomorrow you’re supposed to cook at ho."
"Ah?" Ning Youguang was stunned, "Isn’t just cooking so dumplings enough? Does it have to be so complicated?"
"Tomorrow is a big day for Shi; do you plan to just serve us a few frozen dumplings?"
Ming Jinxin was extrely speechless, "Alright, you don’t know how to cook, but Shi is a great cook. Shouldn’t you invite guests for a lively housewarming al tomorrow?"
"No one is coming." Ning Youguang signaled to Shi Wangyue, who entered from the small kitchen, "Let’s not make it complicated, cooking a pot of dumplings is good enough so that everyone isn’t too tired tomorrow."
"Not inviting his business partners, good subordinates from the company, or close friends? Ming Jinxin was quite surprised, "It’s better to call more people over for a lively housewarming."
She said, "Such a big house, just the two of you, wouldn’t it be too quiet."
Shi Wangyue stood looking down, his deep eyes glanced at Ning Youguang.
