Bullied Too Much

Su Yuan greeted him with a bright smile, as if she had just seen an old friend. “President Chen, thank you for today.” As she spoke, she looked into the car. Other than Chen Yi, there was only one person in the driver’s seat. That person seemed to be his assistant. This person was very unfamiliar. She had never seen him before.

Chen Yi said, “If I didn’t come over today, your interview spot would probably have been snatched away by someone else.”

Su Yuan actually heard a hint of blame in his words. “President Chen…”

“Su Yuan, the proposal was originally caused by the staff at Chufang Entertainment. You can come to me directly, you don’t have to…” He didn’t finish the second half of the sentence. He wanted to say that there was no need to do such a crazy thing downstairs.

Su Yuan looked at his helpless expression and her heart skipped a beat. Why was this man’s tone so strange? It made her feel like she had been bullied too badly and was forced to beg for mercy.

“President Chen, I think I can handle this on my own. If I’m really brushed off today, I’ll come to you when I have no other choice.”

Upon hearing this, Chen Yi seemed to have thought of something. His eyes darkened and he did not continue the topic. “Where are you guys going? I’ll send you guys.” After he finished speaking, the assistant in the driver’s seat quickly walked over and helped Su Yuan open the back door. “Miss Su, please.”

Su Yuan didn’t stand on ceremony and directly sat on it, then beckoned to Qu Lin.

Unexpectedly, for some reason, the assistant slammed the car door shut and opened the door to the passenger seat. “Miss Qu, please sit in front. It’s more spacious.”

How could Qu Lin not understand what was going on? she blinked at Su Yuan and sat in the front passenger seat.

Su Yuan was confused.

“Where are you going, ladies?” The assistant asked as he looked into the rearview mirror.

“Wait a minute, I’ll look for a navigation system,” Qu Lin immediately took out her phone and tapped on it. “Here. Brother driver, do you know about Sichuan-Chongqing Hotpot in West City? It’s especially famous!”

“You guys want to eat hotpot?” Chen Yi raised his eyebrows.

Su Yuan said, “That’s right. Qu Lin said that we won brilliantly, so she wants to throw a celebration party.”

“A celebration party?” Chen Yi frowned. “How about I book a five-star hotel for you guys to eat seafood?”

“No!” Su Yuan shouted.

“No!” Qu Lin said.

The two of them objected in unison.

“We just want to eat hotpot, not seafood,” Su Yuan replied.

Qu Lin was not familiar with Chen Yi and was a little afraid of this dark-faced man. She did not dare to say much and could only nod in agreement.

Su Yuan saw Chen Yi’s helpless expression and politely said, “Are you free tonight, President Chen? Do you want to go together? Just take it as my thanks for coming to save the day.”

She had thought that a man like Chen Yi would not like to eat this kind of hot pot. Who knew that Chen Yi would reply without hesitation, “Alright,” he said.

Su Yuan was speechless.

Qu Lin had made a reservation online in advance. When they arrived, the hot pot restaurant was full of people waiting outside. They were directly led into the restaurant by the waiter. The feeling of not waiting was so good!

Su Yuan placed her bag on the chair and started to order.

It was obviously Chen Yi’s first time eating in a hot pot restaurant. He looked left and right with a slightly cold gaze. It seemed like he was not used to it.

While Su Yuan was ordering, she observed him from the corner of her eye. For some reason, whenever she saw him, she would think of Mo Ting. If Mo Ting had come to eat hotpot with her today, she might not be able to get used to it even more than Chen Yi. Or maybe he wouldn’t even eat and just leave.

“You order.” Su Yuan passed the menu to Qu Lin, then took out her phone from her bag and opened WeChat. In the morning, Mo Ting had sent her a message asking if she was at an interview, but she had not replied. Now that she thought about it, the two of them had been in a cold war for so long. He had finally taken the initiative to take a step forward, so it wasn’t good to keep attacking him. After all, the two of them would be husband and wife for another two years.

Su Yuan opened the chat box, typed [You passed the interview!], and sent it.

At the same time, the phone in Chen Yi’s pocket rang.

Su Yuan looked up at Chen Yi.

Chen Yi was looking at her. She frowned and asked, “Is there something on my face?”

Chen Yi shook his head. “No. You’re very beautiful today.”

Su Yuan smiled sweetly, lowered her head, and stopped talking.

Only then did Chen Yi take out his phone. After he lit up the screen and took a look, he raised his eyebrows. “I have something to do at the company. I’ll make a call.”

“Alright, President Chen. What do you like to eat?” Su Yuan asked.

“Anything is fine. I’ll eat whatever you order.” Chen Yi said.

Su Yuan was speechless.

She suddenly recalled the time when she had hotpot with Gu Qin in high school. Gu Qin had also answered the same question, [I’ll eat whatever you order.]

Su Yuan retorted instinctively, [You eat sh*t too?]
