Chapter 142: The Most Stable Triangle Relationship

Looking at Shen Huai's blank expression, Lin Yeman knew this guy had completely forgotten about the celebration banquet!

She couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle, her tone carrying a hint of teasing: "Oh, men, there really aren't many good ones."

"They say with their mouths that work is more important than anything, but in the end, they cast serious matters to the back of their minds in the blink of an eye."

As soon as she said this, everyone was stunned for a moment.

Before Shen Huai could defend himself, Luo Xiaoya was actually the first to react, opening her mouth to chime in: "Well said! Men are all big pig trotters, fickle and unfaithful, chasing the new and loathing the old!"

???

Hearing the four words "chasing the new and loathing the old," Lin Yeman's expression changed slightly.

But the change in her expression was fleeting, so fast that before anyone could notice, she had already composed herself and put on her usual smile.

"It seems Team Leader Luo has deep insights into this."

"It's not about being deep or not, I just simply feel that way." Luo Xiaoya's expression was indifferent, her gaze pointedly directed toward Shen Huai.

Watching one after another of these masters of sarcasm performing, Shen Huai felt a massive headache.

Where did all this even come from?

He hadn't even opened his mouth to say a word, so how did he become the target of everyone's criticism?

Seeing Shen Huai deflated, Luo Xiaoya stuck out her tongue in satisfaction and blinked playfully.

That quirky and eccentric look of hers had no trace of the seriousness and meticulousness she had shown earlier while nitpicking the documents.

Shen Huai took a deep breath, racking his brains to explain, but Lin Yeman took the lead again, raising an eyebrow at Shen Huai: "It seems General Manager Shen's department is full of hidden talents."

"Since General Manager Shen's new department is officially established today, why not take the new colleagues to see the world at Ryan's celebration banquet tonight?"

"Consider it... the first full-team building for your Creative Development Department."

Team building?! With a group of ancestors? This was a rhythm meant to play him to death!

Shen Huai's expression changed abruptly, knowing Lin Yeman was digging a hole for him again.

This person was clearly just looking to watch a good show!

His eyes darted, and he said somewhat awkwardly: "Cough... Team Leader Lin, I'm afraid that's not very appropriate, right?"

"After all, Ryan only invited the Xingyao Public Relations Department and your Artist Management Department; they didn't invite them. Showing up uninvited also seems disrespectful."

Unexpectedly, it was as if Lin Yeman had long anticipated he would say this.

The corners of her mouth curled into a cunning smile: "What of it? Ryan will definitely give face to you, the Second Young Master Shen."

"Besides, taking this opportunity, you can let them get to know that brother of yours who looks exactly like you, so they don't mistake one for the other in the future, right?"

Lin Yeman deliberately emphasized the two words "brother."

After finishing, she used her eyes to signal Su Meng and Liu Shishi standing to the side.

The two had already been rendered speechless by Lin Yeman's powerful pressure.

Swept by her gaze, they didn't care about their own stance and hurriedly nodded like chickens pecking at rice: "Yes, yes, General Manager Shen, we have never attended such a corporate celebration banquet before."

"We are the same... can you take us with you?" the two newly hired colleagues also immediately chimed in.

Watching the unanimous reaction within the department, Lin Yeman withdrew her gaze with great satisfaction: "You see, how enthusiastic the public's voice is; you wouldn't refuse, would you?"

Shen Huai scanned the room briefly and could only bite the bullet and agree: "Fine, we'll go, but once we're there, stay put and don't wander around. If you get kicked out by someone else's bodyguards, I won't have the time to fish you out."

"Understood!" Everyone's eyes lit up, and they cheered with joy, speaking in unison.

Lin Yeman smiled and looked at everyone: "If you don't have much work on hand today, you can go early to prepare a formal outfit for yourselves, then meet at the Wes Hotel."

After speaking, Lin Yeman checked the time, then raised her beautiful eyes, her expression somewhat playful:

"I think... you all probably have 2 hours of preparation time left now."

Su Meng, Liu Shishi, Luo Xiaoya, and the others were stunned for a moment, then reacted.

With a "slap," several contracts were thrown onto the desktop in a mess—

The next second, the office was instantly empty.

This series of flashy operations left Shen Huai dumbfounded.

Sure enough, a woman's potential is all forced out.

At this speed, they could probably break a Guinness World Record, right?

In an instant, only Lin Yeman and Shen Huai were left in the office.

Lin Yeman raised her eyebrows triumphantly, took Shen Huai's arm without any hesitation, and said in an ambiguous tone: "Remember, today you can only be my dance partner."

Dance partner?

Shen Huai felt something was amiss: "This celebration banquet today... involves dancing?"

Before Shen Huai could ask the next sentence, he was pulled away by Lin Yeman.

He looked down hastily at his cheap attire, then at Lin Yeman's dazzling evening gown, feeling it was incredibly incongruous.

"Why did you insist on having them come along? Aren't you afraid they'll find out?"

Walking into the elevator, Shen Huai finally couldn't help but ask.

"I believe in your acting skills." Lin Yeman curved her lips.

Shen Huai rolled his eyes internally.

He couldn't tell for a moment if this was a compliment or an insult.

"Actually, there is naturally another reason why I let them go." Lin Yeman retracted her smile and said seriously, "The play we performed last time, while enough to make Tong Yue believe it, she is not someone who likes to gossip, so the spread is limited."

"I see that this Su Meng in your department is someone who can spread news quickly."

"When the time comes, let her secretly take a few photos at the celebration banquet, with you and your 'brother' in the same frame, and then pretend to let them leak out unintentionally; only then can we truly solidify this twin persona of yours."

After a pause, Lin Yeman's fingers slowly stroked Shen Huai's chest, and she said coquettishly: "How about that? I thought so thoroughly for you, yet you turn around and blame me."

"..."

Shen Huai's eyes darkened further, "Could it be that you have a way to help me conjure up another me?"

Hearing this, Lin Yeman gave a sly smile and pressed her fingers lightly against Shen Huai's chest: "Agree to be my dance partner, and I'll tell you."

"... Do I have any room for choice?" Shen Huai spread his hands.

Seeing this, Lin Yeman finally linked her arm with Shen Huai's, leaning against his shoulder in satisfaction.

They arrived at the garage.

The two were just about to climb into Lin Yeman's car.

Suddenly, a familiar voice rang out from behind: "Shen Huai?"

Shen Huai turned his head to look.

He saw Lu Sheng in a black evening gown, standing not far away with a trace of surprise on her face.

Hearing Lu Sheng's voice, Lin Yeman frowned slightly, decisively pulling her upper body out from inside the car to block Lu Sheng's line of sight.

"Director Lu, shouldn't you be with your colleagues from the Public Relations Department?"

Lin Yeman smiled, but her gaze did not give way in the slightest.

Seeing this, Lu Sheng was not to be outdone: "I'm not their nanny; do you really think I need to prepare for something like attending a celebration banquet for them?"

After speaking, Lu Sheng stepped forward, linked her arm with Shen Huai's other arm, and said with a smile: "Team Leader Lin, doesn't this scene look very familiar?"

"Director Lu, General Manager Shen is my dance partner today." Lin Yeman's superficial calm was about to fall apart.

"Oh, is that so?"

Lu Sheng shrugged indifferently: "They say a triangular relationship is the most stable."

"Since Team Leader Lin was able to squeeze in so proactively yesterday, you shouldn't mind if there's one more person for the dance partner today, right?"
