Chapter 216 As She Said
Bian Yue picked up the documents on the ground. Her movements were slow. After a long while, she said softly, "Jiao Jiao, I'm fine. I just want to be alone and quiet for a while."

At the same time, in the back row of the business class, Lu Zhinian had a calm expression as he looked at the scenery outside the window.

Paying attention to Lu Zhinian's expression in the rearview mirror, he asked curiously, "Boss Lu, what did you show Miss Bian?"

"Nothing, I just worried that she couldn't read people's minds, so I gave her some hints." Lu Zhinian's expression was cold and his voice was indifferent, "Bian Yue is very smart and ambitious, but she still has a fatal flaw."

The assistant hesitated, "What's wrong?"

"She is too soft-hearted, but she doesn't know that countless smart people eventually died because of their own soft-heartedness." Lu Zhinian's eyes were cold. He closed his eyes and ordered, "I'm a little tired. This afternoon's meeting will be postponed for half an hour. I need to rest."

"Yes." The assistant said, and raised the rear baffle calmly.
Bian Yue went out early and came back late for several days in a row. The outstanding performance of "The Beauty of the Golden Age" topped the TV drama hot list every day and never fell down, forming a trend of being the first with a gap.

This undoubtedly gave her a perfect reason to be busy.

Shen Jinci didn't say anything, but every day when she went out, he would not forget to prepare food for her on the road.

His cooking skills were better than before. Every day, the food that Bian Yue ate a few more bites of would appear in her lunch box the next day.

His focus was entirely on himself, as if the entire Li Xing was just an insignificant foil.

Bian Yue felt that she couldn't quite see through Shen Jinci.

It was still a sunny day. After finishing the work at hand, Bian Yue finally felt relieved and contacted Shen Zhaoli.

Shen Zhaoli came quickly, holding a bag of food in his hand.

He sat down casually on the sofa, raised his eyebrows and looked at Bian Yue, smiling and said, "Oh, you, a busy man, finally thought of looking for me?"

"This is the ratings data of "The Beauty of the Golden Age", as well as a list of all the companies that are currently interested in establishing cooperation with Mitang." Bian Yue placed a thick document on the table.

The smile on Shen Zhaoli's face faded a little. He looked at Bian Yue leisurely, with a hint of helplessness that could not be guessed: "Bian Yue, is it necessary for us to discuss business to this extent? What does your cooperation with Li Xing have to do with this?"

"Because I can't give the conditions that Li Xing wants." Bian Yue looked at Shen Zhaoli calmly, her eyes were calm, "Zhaoli, I know you are sitting here talking to me on behalf of Li Xing, so the only possibility between us is business."

Bian Yue's attitude suddenly became much tougher than the last time they met.

Although Shen Zhaoli didn't know the reason, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "You've just started out, and you've already learned all the tricks in the business world? Bian Yue, I don't like the way you are now. You make me feel strange."

"Before, I was sitting in front of you as Shen Jinci's wife. To that extent, you are my family. But now, I am sitting in front of you as the person in charge of Honey. Now that I have come this far, I cannot make even the slightest mistake."

Shen Zhaoli pinched his eyebrows, and hesitation appeared on his beautiful and delicate face.

He didn't know how to continue chatting with Bian Yue. So far, he still didn't want to ruin their relationship.

But there was no room for maneuver in Bian Yue's words. Shen Zhaoli was just wondering how to stop the topic when Wen Jiao pushed the door open from outside.

Miss Wen has been busy with her wedding preparations recently, and every time she comes to see Bian Yue, she is in a hurry.

At this moment, she saw Shen Zhaoli sitting inside, and was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but laugh, "Brother, why are you here again? Bian Yue and I are really busy recently and don't have time to take care of you, kid, go home first!"

Shen Zhaoli looked at Wen Jiao leisurely, pretending not to hear her order to leave. He lowered his eyes and his gaze fell on the red invitation in Wen Jiao's hand. He raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Is this your invitation? Are you getting married soon?"

Wen Jiao was also generous. She placed the invitation in front of Shen Zhaoli and said with a bit of pride, "You haven't seen it before? Don't worry, when I get married, I will definitely invite you."

There was an inexplicable feeling of congestion in Shen Zhaoli's heart.

He pursed his lips, his smile not reaching his eyes, with a hint of indifference, but his voice was teasing, "You're not going to stand me up again, are you?"

Wen Jiao said, "How could that be? Last time it was an accident. I usually don't stand people up."

Although it was still a harmless quarrel, it at least broke the suffocating atmosphere between him and Bian Yue.

When Wen Jiao was criticized for having poor taste, he left angrily holding the invitation.

Shen Zhaoli smiled and said slowly: "These are the food I brought for you. You can eat something after you are done with your work. Take care of yourself. Bian Yue, I don't know why you are suddenly so tough, but I still hope you can consider the cooperation with Lixing. I am waiting for your reply."

Bian Yue just said calmly: "There is nothing to consider. I asked you to come here today because I already have an idea. I will go to the Lixing Group board meeting tomorrow."

Shen Zhaoli thought he had misheard. He was stunned and said, "Tomorrow."

"Yes, please help me inform the top management of Lixing. As for the rest, I can handle it myself and will not make things difficult for you and Jin Ci." After saying this, Bian Yue even smiled at Shen Zhaoli.

However, Shen Zhaoli read alienation in Bian Yue's smile.

Shen Zhaoli was certain that she was hiding something from him and Shen Jinci.

On the same day, Shen Zhaoli told Shen Jinci about this matter.

Shen Jinci actually had a premonition that Bian Yue had been leaving home early and coming back late these past two days. It could be because she was busy, but on the other hand, she was also avoiding him.

In the office, Shen Zhaoli was smoking a cigarette with a complicated expression, full of confusion, "Tell me, what happened to Bian Yue? Why did she suddenly become so serious?"

Shen Jinci didn't say anything. He lowered his eyebrows, looking as cold and dignified as always, with an elegant temperament. He just watched the fire from the other side of the river, without showing any anxiety. He said, "Just do what she says."

"Shen Jinci, listen! What are you talking about! This is your own wife." Shen Zhaoli stared in shock, and kindly reminded: "If you really force her into a desperate situation, what good will it do you? People on the board of directors, don't you understand? They are all cannibals! What do you want Bian Yue to talk to them about!"

Shen Jinci did not answer immediately. He calmly read the document in front of him, then signed his name and looked at Shen Zhaoli, "Do as Bian Yue said."
