I thought Old Wang next door was already fast enough, but I didn't expect someone even faster. Whose subordinate is this?

Xu Feng naturally didn't understand Su Qing's words, but he didn't think along those lines.

And Su Qing couldn't just come out and ask, hey, I heard your intimate timing is nine point five eight seconds, is that true?

That would really make him seem insane.

"This guy... is quite interesting!"

Looking at the departing Xu Feng, Su Qing chuckled softly.

Although he knew this person had no good intentions towards Shen Yi, some things couldn't be said outright. The lessons from previous incidents were still vivid in his mind; he couldn't casually reveal unnecessary information.

As for Xu Feng, he originally had no place here, and coupled with Shen Yi's attitude, there was naturally no need for him to stay. After exchanging a few polite words, he left.

Though Su Qing's appearance caught him off guard, Xu Feng was still confident in his success. Aside from being young and slightly better looking, he saw no other qualities in Su Qing that could compare to his. This point was very clear to him.

A man's looks aren't that important; career is the core. Besides, he himself didn't look bad, and he was a wealthy entrepreneur. With such conditions, he naturally wouldn't take Su Qing seriously.

"How is he interesting? Do you know him?" Shen Yi asked curiously from the side.

Su Qing shook his head, "I just think anyone who wears a suit in the middle of summer must have something wrong with their head."

Hearing this, Shen Yi couldn't help but laugh, while Deng Jie, in her business attire nearby, had a somewhat awkward smile and even felt like cursing.

"Alright, let them serve the dishes," Shen Yi said with a smile.

"Okay, President Shen."

With that, Deng Jie left without looking back.

Seeing this, Su Qing felt helpless, not expecting to inadvertently offend someone, and got up intending to sit on the other side.

But as soon as he stood up, Shen Yi pulled him back: "What are you doing?"

"I'm going over there to sit."

"What, does sitting next to me prick you, or do I have thorns?"

"Not really, just a bit cramped."

"No way, you chose to sit here yourself."

Su Qing: ...

In the end, he still sat on the other side, Shen Yi was just teasing.

By now the dishes were served, the table was full, but the portions were indeed small. Fortunately, they ordered plenty, or it might not have been enough to eat. As for the taste, it was just so-so, thankfully not bad.

Seeing him eat with his head down, without mentioning what happened earlier, Shen Yi couldn't help but laugh, "Aren't you curious about who that guy was?"

"Could he be your ex-boyfriend coming back to reconcile?" Su Qing asked, munching on a piece of marinated meat.

Hearing this, Shen Yi didn't explain but instead teased, "What, are you jealous?"

"Pfft... cough cough," He almost choked on his food. Recalling last night, he feared his mother Zhou Hui would ask him for a girlfriend, so he quickly said, "What does it have to do with me? Don't drag me into some soap opera about a wealthy family feuding over a wife."

He'd seen plenty of these dramas before; after all, being a video blogger, his film-viewing experience wasn't trivial.

Nosy mothers-in-law, vicious daughters-in-law, snobby mothers-in-law, tea-sipping best friends, domineering yet narrow-minded male bosses.

He was almost sick of these plotlines, and according to the narrator, that guy definitely had those thoughts. Though Auntie Shen was a bit older, she was undeniably a rare older beauty.

"Rich imagination, but it's not as dramatic as you think. His name is Xu Feng, and he has some business dealings with my company, wants to collaborate more deeply, offering significant benefits, even intending to invest in my company to become a shareholder. But I didn't agree, it was just an accidental encounter," Shen Yi explained, not even sure why she shared all this.

"Isn't that a good thing? Why refuse?" Su Qing asked, knowing Xu Feng had issues but unable to put it bluntly.

"You're still young. Remember, there's no free lunch. If he's offering benefits, he must be aiming for something bigger. In business, no one will give up their cake for nothing," Shen Yi snickered, smiling at Su Qing's innocent face, unmarred by the corporate grind.

After so many battles, chatting with simple people was a delight. At least she hadn't noticed any scheming from Su Qing, just occasionally sensing a heated gaze.

But this felt normal to her, considering her looks and figure. If Su Qing didn't react, she'd be worried. Either way, whether his gaze was pure or not didn't really matter.

Simple admiration or inappropriate thoughts, none of it mattered to her.

"That may be so. Maybe he's after your identity as a little rich lady, trying to latch on?"

With that, Shen Yi raised her hand as if to smack him, "You're the auntie!"

"Hmph, I didn't know before, you actually have a younger sister. You must think I'm too old, no wonder you don't want to be friends."

Su Qing had no choice but to concede, as reasoning with her was impossible. After a while, he turned serious:

"But I advise you to be cautious of Xu Feng. This guy doesn't seem trustworthy, he might bring trouble to you someday."

Considering the narrator's note about the other company's financial issues, he warned Shen Yi. Whether she'd listen was up to fate, as they'd only known each other for a short time. Some things could only be hinted at, not said outright.

"Are you worried about me?" Shen Yi's eyes sparkled with amusement, leaning forward slightly, staring at him like an older woman teasing a younger man.

"Cough... just reminding, reminding."

"Haha, not bad, knowing how to care for me. Eat up, I'll show you some of sister's delights later!"

Su Qing: ...

In another company on the other side of the commercial building:

"In this job, you need to work for three years. It's specified in the contract. If you don't complete three years, you owe the company 100,000," said a man in his thirties, dressed in a suit, casually holding a resume.

Hearing this, Wang Xing, sitting opposite, frowned slightly and then said, "I still want to know about the salary, benefits, working hours, social security, and how long until I become permanent."

"Given your situation, I can only offer 4k salary, social security starts after becoming permanent, which takes three months, working hours are nine to five with weekends off, and occasional overtime."

Wang Xing: "In that case, write down what you just said in the contract, particularly about the occasional overtime, which should include overtime pay. If not, the company owes me 100,000!"

Hearing this, the man sneered, "Do you have a character problem? With your attitude, why are you even looking for a job?"

At this, Wang Xing took a deep breath and laughed coldly, "I thought as much, didn't realize we were in the same industry!"

The man paused and asked, "Were you an HR before?"

To this, Wang Xing grabbed his resume, slammed the table, and shouted:

"I was a damn bandit!"

The man: ...
