Chapter 180 Old acquaintance
"By the way, you should stay in Huashi for a while longer this time. I have a vacant house nearby with a great river view. You and Youen can stay as long as you want."
Shen Feiwan declined Shu Yao's offer, "Thank you, senior. But we still think staying in a hotel is more convenient, for example, someone cleans the house every day."
Respecting Shen Feiwan's wishes, Shu Yao didn't say anything more and changed the subject to business. "You're familiar with robotics automation, right? I have a project on hand recently that involves intelligent warehousing and logistics automation, and the prospects are very promising. I think you might be interested, what do you think?"
“Of course,” Shen Feiwan’s eyes lit up, “I’m definitely interested in the project that my senior has taken a liking to.”
Shu Yao then took a document out of her bag and handed it to Shen Feiwan. "This is the preliminary plan for the project. Take a look. If you're interested, we can discuss it in more detail."
Shen Feiwan took the document and began to look through it.
Just as I was concentrating, I suddenly heard the crisp sound of high heels behind me, the rhythm was fast, and it was getting closer and closer.
Immediately afterwards, a slightly languid female voice rang out: "President Shu, what a coincidence to meet you here."
Hearing footsteps approaching, Shen Feiwan closed the file and looked up at the person.
The other person reacted faster than she did, calling out her name first, "Shen Feiwan?"
Shu Yao was somewhat surprised, her gaze shifting between the two of them. "So you two know each other?"
The newcomer was a sexy and mature woman, wearing a burgundy dress, with exquisite makeup and a powerful aura.
She smiled slightly, reached out and pulled the chair next to Shu Yao, her tone casual, "You don't mind if I sit down and we talk, do you?"
When she asked this question, her gaze was fixed on Shen Feiwan.
Shen Feiwan smiled and said, "I don't mind."
The woman turned to look at Shu Yao, a slight smile playing on her lips. "If the guests have no objections, what about the host?"
Shu Yao smiled as well, "Of course I have no objection, I just didn't expect that you two knew each other."
The woman chuckled softly, her gaze shifting back to Shen Feiwan, a hint of amusement in her eyes. "You don't remember me, do you? Hua Ling. We first met at a bar; we became friends after a fight."
After saying that, she extended her hand to Shen Feiwan.
Shen Feiwan shook hands with her politely, "Of course I remember, Sister Hua. Have you been in Hua City lately?"
Hua Ling nodded, her tone languid, "I got tired of staying in Nancheng, so I came to Huashi for some fun."
She paused, a hint of inquiry in her eyes, "I heard you got divorced, is that true?"
To someone you don't know well, this might sound a bit presumptuous.
However, Hua Ling remained calm and showed no sign of gossip, so Shen Feiwan also remained composed and said, "It's true."
Hua Ling nodded, a smile playing on her lips. "Then congratulations on becoming single again."
After saying that, she stood up and said, "Then I won't bother you any longer. I have friends here."
Shen Feiwan nodded, "Okay, see you again sometime."
After Hua Ling walked away, Shu Yao asked Shen Feiwan curiously, "What's the story behind 'becoming friends after a fight'?"
Shen Feiwan said, "Back in Nancheng, her boyfriend got drunk and mistook her for someone else, causing a small misunderstanding. But we resolved it that same night. She's your client?"
Shu Yao nodded, "She's very generous and we've been working together for a long time."
She paused, her words carrying a hint of caution, "It's good that there's no misunderstanding between you. Aside from her private life being difficult to judge, she's a person worth getting to know well. Of course, that doesn't mean you have to get to know her well, but it's definitely not advisable to make enemies with her. She's the kind of person who will definitely seek revenge."
As they were talking, the waiter started serving the dishes.
Shu Yao smiled and said to Shen Feiwan and Chen Youen, "Let's eat first. You can take the plan back and read it slowly. Let me know when you have any ideas."
"Okay, then we're welcome."
The meal was very pleasant; the three of them ate and chatted, creating a cheerful atmosphere.
When it was time to part, Shu Yao planned to take Shen Feiwan and Chen Youen back to their hotel.
Shen Feiwan refused, "You should go home quickly, the child is waiting for you. You'en and I plan to stroll along the river for a while longer."
-
As a southern city, Huashi enjoys a spring-like climate year-round, with pleasant nighttime temperatures.
A gentle breeze blows across the river, carrying a faint fragrance of flowers, and people stroll along the riverbank in an endless stream.
Chen Youen saw a beer stall by the roadside and bought a cup with great interest. She also bought a glass of juice for Shen Feiwan from the stall next door.
Just as Shen Feiwan was about to reach out and take it, a figure suddenly rushed over from the side. The person was extremely fast and crashed directly into her.
Shen Feiwan stumbled, spilling half of the juice in her hand onto her clothes.
Realizing he had bumped into someone, the other person hurriedly turned around and said in a rushed tone, "Sorry! I was catching a thief. I'll buy you juice later!"
Before he could finish speaking, he had already vanished without a trace.
Chen Youen stared in disbelief. "What's going on?"
Shen Feiwan looked down at her bag and said, "Never mind, let's see if you lost anything. It doesn't matter what else."
Chen Youen checked her bag and shook her head, saying, "Nothing."
She looked at Shen Feiwan's clothes, which were stained with juice, and said, "Go sit over there and wipe them off. There's a bench over there."
The two walked a few steps along the riverbank and found an empty bench to sit down.
Shen Feiwan took out tissues from her bag and bent down to wipe the juice stains on her clothes. "I'd better go find a restroom to deal with this. Wait here for me."
Chen Youen nodded, "Okay, there was a restroom on the way here, do you remember?"
"I remember." Shen Feiwan stood up and walked back the way she came.
As luck would have it, she suddenly saw a familiar figure on the way.
It is a peacock feather.
This is the second time I've run into her today.
Hua Ling leaned against the railing by the river, her snow-white arms wrapped around a man much taller than her, and the two were kissing as if no one else was around.
Shen Feiwan had no intention of prying into Hua Ling's privacy. She only glanced at her before looking away and continuing to walk towards the bathroom.
The public restrooms by the river are very nice, clean and tidy, and filled with a light fragrance. Many girls come here to touch up their makeup.
Seeing Shen Feiwan's disheveled appearance, someone voluntarily gave up their spot in front of the mirror.
Shen Feiwan thanked him and then lowered her head to wipe the juice stains off her shirt with a wet tissue.
Just as she was concentrating, Hua Ling's face suddenly appeared in the mirror.
She was holding a lipstick in her hand, touching up her makeup in front of the mirror. "What a coincidence, I didn't expect to see you again."
She glanced at Shen Feiwan's clothes. "What happened to you?"
Shen Feiwan smiled and said, "I accidentally got splashed with juice, so I came over to clean it up. It's quite a coincidence that we've met for the second time today."
Hua Ling put away her lipstick and looked Shen Feiwan up and down. "Your clothes are too wet. It's windy by the river. Be careful not to catch a cold."
After thinking for a moment, she suggested, "If you don't mind, I have spare clothes in my car. Although you are thinner than me, my clothes don't discriminate based on the style."
Shen Feiwan looked down at her clothes. The wet fabric clung to her body, even revealing the outline of her underwear, which was indeed very uncomfortable.
She hesitated for a moment, then looked up at Hua Ling, "Won't this be too much trouble?"
