Su Qing's age was obviously not very old, looking to be in his early twenties. To someone who didn't know better, they might think he was a college student. Since he was a video blogger and hadn't gone through professional training, coupled with the fact that he had just graduated, his face still bore a youthful innocence.
Deng Jie had been by Shen Yi's side for years and naturally understood her relationship status. Women like her at this age typically have husbands and children; Deng Jie herself was married. However, her boss seemed to never get involved in such matters and was completely focused on her career.
When faced with suitors from the business world, she always kept them at a respectful distance. Deng Jie never thought that one day President Shen would bring a man home for the night, especially someone so young.
Thus, she couldn't help but worry whether President Shen might get deceived. Although Shen Yi was formidable in business, who knew if she had any talent in matters of the heart?
As a fellow woman, Deng Jie was all too aware of how much intelligence could plummet once love was involved. She feared Shen Yi would end up at a disadvantage.
While there was nothing inherently wrong with an older woman-younger man romance, the age gap was quite large, and the other party clearly didn't seem financially capable. It just seemed unreliable no matter how you looked at it.
Shen Yi, however, didn't seem to mind. She knew Deng Jie probably misunderstood and thought they had already been intimate the night before, which was why Deng Jie offered this advice. Yet, she didn't bother to explain.
In truth, it was the combination of being a voice enthusiast and having a 'life-saving' favor that made her curious about Su Qing.
After all, regardless of sentiment or rationale, she should express gratitude to him. Especially since when they met earlier, she realized he'd nearly forgotten the whole incident if she hadn't reminded him. Clearly, he hadn't really put saving her to heart and had no ulterior motives. This was what pleased her the most.
As for love at first sight, if she were the type to blindly follow love, she would have found someone to marry long ago. Why wait until now?
The main reason was that during the car accident last time, Su Qing's voice happened to be ringing in her ears, making this voice fanatic unable to resist a bit. If she had to say what she liked, it would be Su Qing's voice.
"President Shen, you're confused. Anyway, I'm just an assistant..."
"Don't worry about the money; I'm not lacking in that. If he truly wants something, it's just a chance for me to return the favor. As for seduction... haha~ I won't be at a loss!" Shen Yi paused, remembered something, and then laughed.
Watching her boss sit across from her, Deng Jie frowned. Since she arrived this morning, she noticed Shen Yi hadn't stopped smiling. Indeed, love makes one lose their wits, even a strong woman is not an exception.
In her view, Shen Yi was already hooked. She never expected her boss to like this type. No wonder she wasn't interested in those successful types before; different strokes for different folks.
Just then, the bedroom door opened, and Su Qing walked out wearing a simple white T-shirt, looking confused.
The first thing he noticed was an extremely spacious living room with excellent lighting, decorated in a minimalist yet grand style, clearly indicating wealth.
Seeing him come out, Shen Yi immediately raised her hand, "Here, come and have breakfast!"
Hearing this, Su Qing snapped back to reality and went to the dining area, spotting the two, one of whom was Shen Yi from earlier.
"Take a seat!"
Following Shen Yi's words, Su Qing naturally took a seat, as if something about her aura made him sit down instinctively.
Just as he sat down, Deng Jie handed him milk, bread, and other breakfast items, leaving him momentarily stunned.
"She's my assistant, and she bought your clothes!" Seeing his discomfort, Shen Yi explained.
Hearing this, he looked at the T-shirt he wore and quickly thanked Deng Jie, who only smiled and nodded without replying. After all, as an assistant, she could be more informal in private, but with an outsider present, she had to maintain her place.
"By the way, I still don't know your name..." Su Qing started, although he had learned her name from the background introductions, he still had to formally ask.
"Just call me Shen Yi." As he spoke, the strong woman felt a tingling sensation throughout her body, induced by his voice. Yes, this was the voice, the vibe~~
"Shen... Auntie, you don't look like it?" Based on her tone, Su Qing thought she was from the aunt generation.
Upon hearing this, Shen Yi paused and jokingly rolled her eyes at him, "It's Yi of 'heart's delight.' What, do I look that old?"
Hearing this, Su Qing was embarrassed and quickly expressed that he didn't mean it that way.
"By the way, my phone..." Su Qing asked. He had been looking for it since he woke up but couldn't find it.
"Your phone is on the living room table. Last night, after picking you up, since I couldn't find your home and you were asleep, I let you stay here for the night. Your friend was calling like crazy, so I explained to him and turned it off," explained Shen Yi.
Hearing this, Su Qing nodded and then said, "I see. Thank you, and sorry for the trouble."
In fact, after Shen Yi left, he had figured out the situation in general. After all, before getting into the car last night, he was still sober, just that he fell asleep due to the smooth ride.
"If anyone should be thanking, it's me thanking you. I watched the surveillance; I almost hit you, really sorry," Shen Yi stared at him gently, not moving.
Being watched by such a beauty made him feel uncomfortable, prompting him to say, "It's nothing, just a reflex. By the way, about your injuries..."
Upon hearing this, Shen Yi brushed back her hair, revealing a still visible unhealed wound on the top right of her forehead, "Thanks to you, it's mostly healed. So tell me... how should I thank you?"
"As long as you're okay, it's fine, no need!" Under her intense gaze, Su Qing could only lower his head and eat.
Seeing this, Shen Yi supported her chin with her fair hand, gazing at him intently as she continued:
"That's not acceptable. I've been thinking for days about how I should thank you if I met you again. I considered putting together a six-figure red envelope, but that seemed too conventional. How about this? Leave me your WeChat, and let's be friends?"
Upon hearing this, Su Qing internally shouted: 'No, I'm just an ordinary guy, I like that conventional approach, why talk about friendship!' Yet, he still said aloud: "No bother, Miss Shen, you really don't have to worry about it."
[A blessing in disguise, you lost a hundred thousand, but gained a shortcut to success, Shen Yi is very satisfied with your response]
Hearing the words in his head, Su Qing almost cursed. A shortcut? What the heck, I'm still all about straightforward and practical things, and why are you always suggesting I cling to a rich woman, do I look like a sycophant?
"I'm heading to the company shortly, so I won't be seeing you off. By the way, you can drive, right? Take this and drive," she said, signaling to Deng Jie, who placed a set of car keys beside him with a smile, "The car is outside; you'll see it once you head out."
