The man had already reached the stairs on their floor. Sheng Yan took a step back, slightly lowering his head, and obediently called out, "Dad."
Feng Qing was stunned. She never expected to meet Sheng Yan's father here. But since he was an elder, Feng Qing quickly smiled at Mr. Sheng.
"Uncle."
Sheng Qingran looked at her with a smile and then beckoned to Sheng Yan. "Aren't you going to introduce us?"
Just as Sheng Yan was about to introduce them, Feng Qing took the initiative and reached out her hand to Sheng Qingran. "Hello, Uncle. My name is Feng Qing. I'm currently the general manager of Fengxing Tianxia."
Sheng Qingran glanced down at her outstretched hand. After a brief pause, he shook it. "My name is Sheng Qingran."
His eyes were not as clear as those of a young person, and it was hard to read his expression. Feng Qing felt that there was something strange about him, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.
Sheng Yan had originally wanted to ask Feng Qing something, but Sheng Qingran's sudden appearance interrupted him. Since the topic couldn't continue, they simply returned to the banquet hall.
Sheng Yan followed Sheng Qingran away. Feng Qing returned to Jian Jiaojiao. She had a cold look on her face, showing no expression. She seemed to be lost in thought, staring at one spot without moving for a long time.
"What are you doing? What did Sheng Yan pull you out to say?"
Feng Qing came back to her senses and shook her head. "He didn't say much. But I just met his father."
It was Feng Qing's first time meeting Sheng Qingran. She didn't know why Sheng Qingran gave her such a strange feeling. She always felt a sense of unease in her heart, but she just couldn't figure it out.
"Your expression looks so grim. Did Sheng Qingran say something to you?" Jian Jiaojiao didn't hesitate to call Sheng Qingran by his full name, completely disregarding the etiquette a junior should have. Feng Qing didn't pay much attention and absent - mindedly answered her question.
"No. I don't know. I always feel that there's something strange about him. It seems that... he doesn't like me very much." Feng Qing managed to describe the feeling Sheng Qingran gave her. All the messages conveyed by Sheng Qingran's eyes seemed to express one thing.
He had a sense of disgust towards her.
She knew that it was impossible for everyone to like her, but clearly an elder like Sheng Qingran had never interacted with her before. She really couldn't figure out why he would show such an attitude on their first meeting.
Jian Jiaojiao wasn't surprised at all. "His personality has always been quite odd. Maybe it's just the way old people are. But why is he here? Do they even invite the school's board of directors to the alumni reunion?"
Feng Qing was already confused, and Jian Jiaojiao's question made it even more puzzling. She couldn't say a word for a long time.
The alumni reunion, which was no different from a business应酬, finally ended. Feng Qing felt extremely tired. She didn't know if Sheng Qingran had left. Sheng Yan came to find her again before the end of the event.
Considering that her stomach wasn't in good condition, Feng Qing didn't drink much, but she was still a bit dizzy. Jian Jiaojiao said she had something to do and left first. Just as Feng Qing was about to ask Sheng Yan, he happened to appear in front of her.
"I'll take you home." He casually took the bag from her hand and supported her arm, ready to leave. Feng Qing staggered and leaned against him, looking at him with hazy eyes. "Did you drink?"
"I called a designated driver."
Feng Qing nodded. "Take me back to the company."
Sheng Yan knew that she usually lived in the company, so he didn't try to persuade her. He took her back to the company. After making sure she was okay, he asked the designated driver to take him home.
Today he had acted on impulse and just wanted to get things clear. Now that he thought about it, he realized he had been too hasty. It had taken him so long to stay by Feng Qing's side. If she thought he had ulterior motives and fired him for that reason, it would be a huge loss for him.
The designated driver was silently driving the car. Sheng Yan looked at the lights flashing by outside the window. The light in his eyes flickered on and off.
After lying on the bed in the lounge for a while, Feng Qing's drunkenness gradually wore off. She got up, frowned, blinked her eyes, and stared blankly for a while before getting out of bed and going to the bathroom to take a shower.
Her father's condition was improving, but he still couldn't leave the hospital. Maybe from now on, the company would really depend on her. She had to do her best and not let her father worry about her.
Feng Qing was looking at documents at her desk. She was yawning but still persevering. Maybe it was because of the alcohol, but she actually fell asleep.
When she opened her eyes again, it was already bright daylight. There was a men's coat draped over her body.
There was a sound outside the door. She instinctively looked towards the door. Sheng Yan, wearing only a shirt, came in from outside, carrying breakfast in his hand.
"You're awake." He ignored Feng Qing's puzzled look and walked straight to the coffee table on one side and started eating. Feng Qing took off the coat, casually placed it on the desk, and went back into the lounge. After washing up and changing her clothes, she came out again. Sheng Yan had already finished his breakfast and was looking at a document. There was still a lot of breakfast on the coffee table.
Just enough for one person.
Feng Qing just glanced at the breakfast and quickly looked at Sheng Yan. Sheng Yan seemed to have just noticed her gaze and casually looked back at Feng Qing.
"I accidentally bought too much just now. I'm still a bit full." He casually rubbed his stomach and pretended to be generous. "Since you haven't eaten yet, how about it?"
Feng Qing ignored his awkward attitude. Since she was hungry, she walked over and picked up the breakfast and started eating.
"I'm going to check the situation at the store today. You go to the factory for me. Find out why the supply this quarter is less than before. Figure out if it's due to a shortage of manpower or..."
Or if they had secretly partnered with another company...
Feng Qing didn't want to suspect her long - time partners, so she didn't say the second half of the sentence. She wasn't too worried about leaving this matter to Sheng Yan.
"Okay." Sheng Yan immediately got up from the sofa, walked to the desk, picked up his coat and put it on. As he was putting it on, he asked Feng Qing, "Then I'll pick you up at the store at noon. Let's have lunch together?"
"No need. I'll drive there myself. Assistant Qi will go with me." At this stage, she still needed Assistant Qi to assist her. So for now, she might need Assistant Qi by her side more than Sheng Yan.
Sheng Yan raised his eyebrows and nodded, seemingly reluctantly accepting it. He took the document he hadn't finished reading, greeted Feng Qing, and walked out.
Just as Feng Qing was about to pick up the water cup on the coffee table to drink water, the office door was pushed open again. Sheng Yan had returned.
"I still want to say that next time, don't forget to lock the door. It's really not appropriate to sleep in your pajamas in the office. Don't you think so?"
Feng Qing had come out to work in her pajamas after taking a shower last night, so she was still wearing them when she fell asleep. She didn't expect to fall asleep, so she didn't lock the office door.
But it wasn't her intention. Besides, apart from Sheng Yan, who would just barge in and not leave when seeing her sleeping?
If anything, it was Sheng Yan who was being abrupt.
"Are you going to leave or not?"
