"That makes sense."
"Is that Miss Shi?"
Suddenly, a man walked out from inside. After looking around, he came to Shi Wan and asked respectfully.
"I am."
"Please come with me. Please forgive us for our poor hospitality."
The man looked at her nervously, worried that she would leave because of this.
"Thank you."
"Wait a minute. Why can she go in?" The woman who had just said she couldn't enter was furious when she saw this. "Doesn't she also not have an invitation?"
"Miss Shi is our specially invited guest. She just forgot to bring her invitation."
Even without an invitation, it's okay. It's just that those people didn't recognize her and stopped her outside.
It's different from these people.
The woman snorted. "We also forgot to bring our invitations. Why don't you let us in?"
"It's different." The man had a proper smile on his face. "Ordinary invitations are different from special invitations. If you really forgot your invitation, you can go back and get it and then come back."
The woman's face turned ugly. If she had an invitation, she wouldn't have been stuck outside.
She watched Shi Wan being invited in and stamped her feet angrily on the spot.
"Wanwan, I'm really sorry. I just saw your message. I was about to go out to look for you, but I didn't expect you to come in by yourself."
As soon as Shi Wan entered, she saw Dean Jin rushing over.
She was confused. "Wasn't the person just now sent by you?"
"Huh? I wasn't. I've been discussing with them all this time. I just saw your message now." He didn't think much about it. "Since you're in, enjoy yourself. Come on, many people are eager to meet you."
Dean Jin dragged her along without giving her a chance to refuse and brought her to a group of people, some old and some young.
Although there was a big age gap, they were all elites in the industry. When they stood together talking, they not only didn't feel out of place but were actually engrossed.
When they saw Shi Wan coming, everyone's eyes fell on her, full of curiosity, contempt, admiration...
"This is the person I've been talking about, Shi Wan."
"Hello everyone. I'm Shi Wan."
Shi Wan's attitude was neither over - humble nor over - arrogant. Without any self - abasement or arrogance in the face of them, her calm demeanor made everyone present look at her with new respect.
This young girl wasn't nervous at all in front of them.
Someone who has seen the world is really different.
Dean Jin introduced everyone to each other.
"Is Miss Shi still in college?"
"Yes. I'll be a sophomore when school starts."
The man smiled. "Miss Shi is really young and promising."
Dean Jin had already told them about Shi Wan. They were extremely curious about her. Now that they had met her and talked for a while, they felt that Dean Jin's evaluation of her was still too low.
"Thank you for the compliment."
"Wanwan, do you have anything to do later?"
"Why?"
"Let's have a meal together after this is over. It's not easy to meet. If we miss this opportunity, we don't know when we'll see each other again."
She thought for a while. "Okay."
She would send a message to Shen Siyan later.
"Why does Miss Shi still stay in school with such achievements?" One of the women smiled. "If it were me, I would have gone abroad for further study. The salary abroad is also higher than here."
"No matter how good it is outside, it's not as good as home. It's where I was born and raised. I can achieve what I have now thanks to the cultivation of my hometown." She said, "Maybe I'm just nostalgic and don't like to travel around."
The smile on the woman's face faded a bit. "That's true."
"Miss Wu, if I remember correctly, didn't you go abroad as soon as you graduated?"
"Yes. I just came back." She glanced at Shi Wan. "Miss Shi is right. I'm planning to come back and develop."
She doesn't have a high reputation in the country. The reason she was able to attend this event was not only because of her reputation abroad but also because a familiar person brought her here.
Shi Wan smiled but didn't say a word.
After it was over, she sent a message to Shen Siyan and rushed outside.
The man's car was parked by the roadside. When he saw her coming, he got out of the car.
"Baby, it's over?"
She nodded. "Have you been waiting for a long time?"
"No. I just arrived."
A group of people were curious about why Shi Wan left in such a hurry and followed her. When they saw the man in front of her, they were momentarily stunned.
They thought someone like Shi Wan would be so busy that she didn't even have time to rest, but who would have thought she had a boyfriend?
Wu Qian clenched her fists and stared fixedly at the man in front of her.
Why is he here?
And why is he with Shi Wan?
"Sorry everyone. I'll leave first."
Seeing them come out, Shi Wan felt it was inappropriate to leave without saying hello.
"Okay..."
"Miss Shi." Wu Qian stepped forward. "I still have a few questions I'd like to discuss with you. How about we go together?"
"I think we're going in different directions?"
This was clearly a rejection, but Wu Qian seemed not to understand.
"It doesn't matter. I'll leave as soon as we're done discussing. I'm a very curious person. If I don't get my questions answered, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep all night." She glanced at the cold - faced man. "I have some important things to attend to tomorrow. Miss Shi won't refuse me this request, will you?"
Shi Wan knew exactly what she was up to and said directly, "Sorry. If you can't sleep, you can put some cinnabar or take some sleeping pills. It's very late. We won't see you off to avoid any trouble."
"Let's go."
Shen Siyan put his arm around her and got into the car. Wu Qian unwillingly stepped forward. "Sir..."
"I listen to my little wife."
Seeing the strange look in his eyes, Wu Qian's face turned pale and she bit her lip tightly.
Sure enough, he didn't remember her.
If she hadn't been lucky enough to meet him a few times, his attitude would have made her think he was a stranger or that she had mistaken him for someone else.
He's so heartless.
The people behind had already left, so Wu Qian had to take a taxi back by herself.
She came back here just for him. As long as she knew where he was, things would be easier in the future.
In the car.
Shi Wan asked, "Do you know her?"
"No."
"She doesn't seem to be someone you don't know."
"I really don't know her." He stopped the car, afraid that she would misunderstand. "Really. I didn't even get a clear look at her face."
"Maybe you hooked her up outside and then forgot about her."
"One you is enough for me to handle. Why would I need anyone else?" He seemed very happy. "Are you jealous?"
Shi Wan bit her lip. "..."
Come to think of it, she really was.
"It's good to get jealous."
She glared at him. "What's so good about it?"
"It means you care about me more and more."
He pressed his forehead against hers and laughed heartily. Shi Wan could feel his body trembling even when she was lying in his arms.
"I've never seen you get jealous."
Shen Siyan was silent for a moment. Never seen him get jealous?
He had basically been either jealous or on the verge of getting jealous all this time. How could he not be jealous?
First there was the unknown Li Si, then Nian Lin, Gong Qi, and some other unknown people who were coveting her.
He lowered his head and bit her lip gently, his voice hoarse. "I'm almost drowning in the vinegar jar."
This heartless little thing. The more he thought about it, the angrier he got.
