Chapter 1206: Not Every

A matter occurred in Jiangzhou, neither big nor small; it had no impact on others, but it had quite a significant impact on the Sheng Family.

President Qi Heng of the L Country government-in-exile fled to Jiangzhou to seek political asylum!

This kind of thing had happened before, and Jiangzhou accepted it; later, it also played a very good and stable role in the diplomatic relations between the two countries.

This time, Jiangzhou accepted it as well, which was not surprising at all.

But this time, the commotion was much smaller than the last.

The main reason was that almost no big shots in the Jiangzhou business world participated!

The Sheng Family made no move, and the Yun Family and Jian Family naturally followed the Sheng Family, also making no move.

These families were the weather vanes of the Jiangzhou business world; since the big shots of these families expressed nothing, the remaining people kept their eyes on them and were all waiting and watching.

Some people could not sit still, and the person in charge of the relevant department personally sought out Sheng Hanyu for a talk, telling him to have a broader perspective, to be the bigger person, to cast aside past grievances, and to cooperate with the Qi Family again.

Sheng Hanyu refused, without the slightest hesitation!

The leader said with a very good temper: "You don't have to be in a rush to answer me; go back and think about it. You can also discuss it with your friends, it won't be too late to answer me then."

Sheng Hanyu: "No need to discuss; not cooperating means not cooperating; there is no need for discussion."

The leader:...

The leader was displeased but could do nothing; Sheng Hanyu was just that kind of person.

As long as he made up his mind, he would absolutely not change it, and he would not give anyone face.

Without the participation of the major groups, Qi Heng still managed to gain a firm foothold in Jiangzhou.

"Knock, knock, knock."

The Secretary knocked on the door and came in to report: "President, a Mr. Chen says he is your classmate and is passing by, so he came to see you. Will you see him?"

Shi Ran's Class Monitor in university was surnamed Chen; a couple of days ago, he said he was coming here for an internship and would drop by to see her.

So, Shi Ran said to the Secretary: "That's right, he is my classmate. Please invite him in."

Just as the Secretary turned to go out, Shi Ran instructed: "Brew a cup of cappuccino and bring it in, with extra sugar."

"Very well, President." The Secretary agreed and went out.

Shi Ran stood up from her seat, preparing to go to the door to welcome the Class Monitor personally.

The Class Monitor had a cheerful and enthusiastic personality, and he took great care of every classmate in the class.

When the Sheng Family had their incident, all the school matters were handled by him for Shi Ran.

The door opened, and the Class Monitor walked in: "Yo, old classmate, you are not who you used to be. It's only been a few days, and you look completely like a career woman."

"Class Monitor, please sit. You are just teasing me. What career woman? I'm just a wage earner."

The two sat down in the guest area as host and guest; the Secretary brought the coffee, placed it in front of the Class Monitor, and then smiled and exited.

The Class Monitor picked up the coffee and took a sip, exclaiming: "Hmm! Not bad. As expected of a big company, it's quite grand; the coffee is brewed better than what's in a coffee shop."

Shi Ran: "If you like it, I'll have someone pack up the coffee machine and send it to you later."

The Class Monitor hurriedly waved his hands in opposition: "Forget it, spare me. As a poor intern student, I can't afford such high-end things. The place I rent is simple; if you really give me the coffee machine, I'll always be worrying about it being stolen while I'm out at work during the day, and I definitely won't do my job well."

"If I don't do my job well, I'll be fired, and if I'm fired, there will be a stain on my file."

"If there's a stain on my file, it will be hard to find a job in the future, and if I can't find a good job, it will affect me finding a girlfriend, settling down..."

Shi Ran laughed: "I was wrong, is it not enough for me to admit I was wrong? Goodness, I was just going to give you something, are you planning to extort me for a lifetime?"

The Class Monitor nodded seriously: "Hmm, I do have that intention."

Shi Ran took the opportunity to say: "That would be great. Come work at our group; I'll save a spot for you in the Sales Department. The more you work, the more you earn; you know the benefits of our group. If you aren't satisfied, you can tell me."

She was inviting him sincerely.

The Class Monitor was a talent; if he joined Dingsheng, it would be like adding wings to a tiger.

The Class Monitor smiled: "Don't trouble yourself with work matters; I've already found a place to work, but I still want to thank you for thinking of me."

He glanced at the watch on his wrist, then picked up the cup and finished the coffee in one gulp, stood up to take his leave: "I have to go. I'll treat you to dinner at 7:00 PM at the Shangri-La Hometown Restaurant. Old classmate, I know you're busy, but you wouldn't deny me this face, would you?"

Shi Ran's heart skipped a beat.

Why couldn't they go to another restaurant?

Why did he have to choose the Shangri-La Hometown Restaurant?

She and Qi Heng used to go to that restaurant often, but after the two of them broke off their engagement, Shi Ran never went there again.

Not only did she never go to that restaurant again, she didn't even go to that street anymore.

If it were anyone else wanting to go there, she would definitely object.

But since it was the Class Monitor in front of her, she agreed: "Alright, see you tonight."

"See you tonight. You get back to work, no need to see me out; I can find my way out, hahahaha."

The Class Monitor left, and just as Shi Ran returned to her office, Yun Qitian followed in from behind: "Hi, President! That handsome guy just now looked familiar; he's from our school too, right?"

Shi Ran glared at him: "My Class Monitor."

Yun Qitian: "He's treating you to dinner tonight? Do you mind if you bring me along? I haven't had the wild chicken and mushroom hotpot there in a long time; I've been craving it."

Shi Ran:...

"I mind. I'm going on a date with a handsome guy, and you following along is an eyesore. If you want to eat hotpot, I'll give you time off; go now, and come back after you've finished eating early."

"Stingy."

He turned and went back.

He wouldn't go now; as for when he would go... anyway, the restaurant wasn't owned by Shi Ran's family, anyone could go!

Afternoon.

Six-thirty.

Shi Ran closed her computer on time, spent five minutes touching up her makeup, and then walked out of the office door.

"Ah! What is wrong with you? Why are you standing here acting all sneaky?" Shi Ran said with dissatisfaction.

Yun Qitian was standing straight as a rod at the entrance of her office, looking just like a door god.

He struck a pose, used his hand to brush back the hair on his forehead, and said coolly, "Waiting for you!"

"You're waiting for me? I'm not taking you; it's an old classmate reunion, and you aren't even from our class, so don't follow me."

She finished speaking and walked out, moving very quickly.

Yun Qitian followed closely behind: "I didn't say I was going to follow you to mooch off your food and drinks, don't be so nervous; I'm here to be your driver, Lao Huang had something come up at home and took the afternoon off."

Shi Ran:...

The excuse he found was too lame.

Dingsheng didn't just have one driver; if Lao Huang took leave, they could find another driver, so why would it require him, a dignified Vice President, to personally act as a driver?

"Secretary, Secretary!"

Shi Ran called out: "Call the driver team and have them send another driver to drive for me; if everyone happens to be busy, I'll drive myself, I wouldn't dare trouble the Vice President!"

This Vice President Yun Qitian was truly full of himself.

He didn't have to do any work; the only thing he did every day was hover in front of Shi Ran!

He was constantly trying to make his presence felt.

It didn't matter that Shi Ran didn't give him a pleasant look; he just acted like he didn't notice and carried on as usual.
