Chapter 94: The Man Whose Ring Finger Is Longer Than His Index Finger

~10 min read 1,804 words

Seeing the faint smile that appeared on Shen Huai's face.

Tong Yue could not help but become even more irritated: "What are you smiling at? What's so funny?"

"Nothing in particular."

Shen Huai said indifferently: "I just think that compared to before, you really haven't changed at all."

"... Are you insulting me?" Tong Yue's willow-leaf eyebrows stood on end, and her fists clenched abruptly.

"Not at all, I wouldn't dare."

"After all, you're the one holding my approval for permanent employment."

Shen Huai teased, turning around to return to his seat and sit down.

Tong Yue felt like she had punched a cotton ball; her entire rage was simply ignored by Shen Huai.

The nameless fire in her heart flared up instantly.

What kind of soul-stealing soup did that Lin Yeman feed Shen Huai, anyway?

He had only been on the job for a few days, yet he was already so openly favoring her.

Even the Chairman was the same.

Lin Yeman was so high-profile in the company that she didn't even hold Director Lu Sheng of the Public Relations Department in her eyes.

She had crossed her time and again, yet the Chairman always turned a blind eye.

Why? What exactly made her inferior to her?!

She was nothing but a vase who flaunted her figure in front of various directors to provide blood transfusions for her own artists.

Those big directors and big producers only gave her artists collaborations out of respect for the Star Shine Company.

Did she really think it was due to her own hard work? If flaunting her figure by relying on the two ounces of meat on her chest counted as hard work.

Then what did it count as when she stayed up all night writing proposals and dealt with various clients until she vomited blood? Was she a clown?

Tong Yue's eyes turned fierce for a moment.

She hated people like that the most—those who benefited and then claimed to be high and mighty.

"... Team Leader... Tong?"

Jiang Xinxin timidly poked her head out from behind her computer screen: "The... the new official announcement materials have been sent over. Should we still proceed according to the original plan?"

Tong Yue gritted her teeth, her heart sinking.

"Of course. Since Team Leader Lin has worked so hard, we certainly can't fall behind."

"Replace the press release title with the latest one immediately and send it out to all media."

"Qi Mingfei, you go work on the keywords. Throw out the gimmick of Ryan's first global full-line spokesperson."

"Wan Dequan, create a topic about opposing workplace bullying and advocating absolute freedom, and link it to the Ryan Group. Make the traffic from Li Xinran convert into the number of pre-orders for Ryan's new products for as long as possible."

"Fu Hai, monitor the traffic well. Watch out for smear pieces from competitors and don't let any mishaps occur."

"Xinxin, output the latest version of the press release schedule and send it to the Ryan side so they can prepare."

"Yes!"

The four-person team replied in unison, and then the sound of clattering keyboards erupted in the office.

An internet battle was about to begin.

Tong Yue rubbed her hands together, a sharp, piercing light flickering in her eyes.

"I want to let everyone see clearly who the truly capable person is."

Even though she looked down on Lin Yeman.

But one thing was one thing; she was someone who absolutely separated public and private matters.

Although Lin Yeman openly used her own resources to heavily gild the artists under her wing.

The traffic was also unprecedentedly high.

She had to capture all of this wave of traffic; only then would it not be a loss.

After all, the Ryan Press Conference was related to her promotion in the second half of the year.

She would absolutely not let her temper jeopardize her future.

Glancing out of the corner of her eye, Tong Yue noticed Shen Huai sitting in the corner, watching her silently.

"What are you looking at me for?" Tong Yue frowned slightly.

"Nothing, I'm just waiting for Team Leader Tong to give me an assignment."

"Assignment?" Tong Yue looked at this person who turned his back on his own team, her mouth curling downward.

Her eyes darted, and a wicked plan suddenly sprang to mind.

She glanced at the time on her phone nonchalantly and said: "Then go to the Canteen and pack some food for each of us."

?

Shen Huai's expression changed slightly: "You want me to go get food?"

"Yeah, that's right. Is there a problem?" Tong Yue looked coldly at Shen Huai.

Ever since she heard Shen Huai pleading for Lin Yeman, the anger in Tong Yue's heart had not been able to subside.

At this moment.

She just wanted to properly mess with Shen Huai to vent this pent-up anger.

Shen Huai pondered for a moment.

He suddenly chuckled and stood up calmly: "It's just getting food, that's simple."

"Everyone send me what you want to eat, and I'll go to the Canteen and pack it up for you."

Seeing this, the four-person team hurriedly cast grateful looks.

"Brother Huai, I want an order of stir-fried beef," Jiang Xinxin said timidly.

"I've sent it to your phone, the usual three items." Wan Dequan raised his phone.

"I've sent it to your phone, too." Qi Mingfei and Fu Hai responded in succession. Shen Huai looked at the messages on his phone, nodded indifferently, turned, and looked at Tong Yue: "Team Leader Tong, what would you like to eat?"

Shen Huai spoke with a beaming smile, showing no sign of the frustration of being mistreated.

Seeing that Shen Huai's mood was unexpectedly so stable, Tong Yue was instantly a bit disappointed.

Teasing him like this, yet she didn't get to see the look of angry embarrassment she had hoped for.

Boring.

Tong Yue pursed her lips, her eyes dimmed, and she responded with little interest: "Anything is fine, you decide."

"Oh? Anything is acceptable?"

Shen Huai curved his brows and eyes playfully: "Then I understand."

Amidst the various expressions of the crowd, Shen Huai strode away.

"..."

Tong Yue watched Shen Huai's straight back, her heart muttering incessantly.

"I always feel like he's been all wrong since he came back from his leave."

"Last time he said he was taking leave for a blind date... could it be that the blind date was a success?"

The moment this speculation surfaced in her mind.

A flash of panic suddenly appeared on Tong Yue's face.

For no reason, she suddenly rushed to the office door subconsciously.

Amidst the surging crowd, she looked around in all directions.

Only to find that Shen Huai had long since disappeared.

The Xingyao Canteen was not outsourced but managed directly by the company.

Xingyao had many employees, and the staff came from all over the country.

The entire 9th floor was nothing but the canteen.

The meals were free, and they were complete in color, aroma, and taste.

The dazzling array of food gathered the specialties of almost every city in China, and the flavors were super authentic.

They hired head chefs from five-star hotels, and the ingredients were strictly controlled; vegetables, fruits, meat, and poultry were all delivered fresh to the company that same day.

Although Shen Huai had already eaten there several times.

He was still shocked by the exquisite cooking methods inside every time.

It was completely unimaginable.

Standard Michelin-level plating techniques could actually be seen in an employee canteen.

No wonder when Fu Hai teased him, he said he had gained 20 jin since joining the company a year ago.

With a canteen like this, even someone with anorexia would have to eat two bowls of rice! Shen Huai picked up a takeout box in one hand and his phone in the other, comparing it against the menu sent by the members of Group 2, and walked toward the corresponding window.

Just as he was walking.

Shen Huai suddenly saw a group of girls not far away, sitting around a dining table, discussing something with great spirit.

He had never been interested in gossip among girls.

Just as he was about to lift his leg to leave, Shen Huai's brows suddenly knit, and the leg he had just raised was instantly pulled back.

Because he seemed to have heard his own name.

"You guys say, that new employee in the Public Relations Department, what was his name again, oh right, Shen Huai, he's straight, right?"

"Totally straight! And I asked around, it seems he had a girlfriend before, they just broke up."

"What? Still a single straight man? A rare species!"

Several girls whispered, their faces filled with undisguised joy.

"A bunch of fan-girls, you don't still think you have a chance, do you?"

Another girl "tsk-ed," shoveled a bite of salad from her bowl, and said as if it were a serious matter, "You all saw Team Leader Lin's expression today, right? She was practically declaring ownership."

"Pfft, doesn't Team Leader Lin always react like that whenever she sees a handsome guy?"

"Someone like Team Leader Lin can only date; if she were to get married, he definitely wouldn't choose her," one girl said, refusing to concede.

"You've already thought as far as marriage? You haven't even thought of what to name the kids, have you?"

One of the girls teased, and the others followed with laughter.

The girl blushed and said: "I'm just telling the truth, Team Leader Lin's aura is too strong, guys won't like that type."

As she spoke, the girl propped up her cheeks, her eyes faintly glowing with anticipation: "My god, Shen Huai is exactly my type, looking at him makes me so excited."

"Just for this face of his, even if I were pinned by him, I'd still be making a huge profit."

"I can't even imagine, if he suddenly appeared in front of me, would I be so excited I'd faint?"

"I don't know if he likes them big or small, but I think I'm not bad, right? What do you guys think?"

As the girl spoke, she confidently puffed out her chest to show the girls around her.

"Stop puffing, as if anyone else doesn't have them."

Another girl turned her head in disdain, leaned in mysteriously, and said: "Let me tell you, I observed carefully while he was getting coffee."

"Shen Huai's right ring finger is much longer than his index finger!"

"Much longer? So what?" One girl blinked, revealing a puzzled look.

That girl raised an eyebrow, the corners of her mouth hooking into a wicked smile: "You don't even know this common knowledge?"

"A man whose right ring finger is longer than his index finger is well-endowed and good in bed!"
