"I received it," Liu Ying nodded.
"Then, President Liu, if it's convenient for you, could you come to my house after work and take me along?" Shen Li smiled sweetly. Her meaning was quite clear.
Under Shen Li's intense gaze, Liu Ying's heart began to race.
"But I still have to accompany Jiang Chen tonight," Liu Ying said. After all, it was not easy to meet Jiang Chen, and he wanted to treat him well. However, before he could finish his sentence, Jiang Chen interrupted him with a wave of his hand.
"I have something else to do tonight, Liu Ying. You go ahead and do your thing; don't worry about me," Jiang Chen said with a smile.
"Are you really busy?" Liu Ying asked, somewhat skeptical.
"Do you think I would lie to you?" Jiang Chen shot Liu Ying a look.
"Oh, well then, Manager Shen, let's go together tonight," Liu Ying said with a smile, her tone awkward and embarrassed. Usually, Liu Ying had a strong presence, like a boss, but today he felt shy in front of Jiang Chen.
"President Liu, just call me by my name. In front of such a big boss like you, my position is insignificant; please don't make me feel awkward," Shen Li laughed. After years of experience in the workplace, she was skilled at reading people and understanding their feelings.
Liu Ying smiled awkwardly in response, tacitly agreeing.
The meal lasted for half an hour, during which Shen Li's gaze was mostly on Liu Ying. After all, the aura of a boss was quite attractive. As an accomplished woman in many aspects, Shen Li had discerning tastes; however, Liu Ying met her criteria well enough that she was willing to be a bit more proactive.
As for Jiang Chen, both Shen Li and Shang Yan paid little attention to him. Out of respect for President Liu, they behaved politely towards him. In their eyes, Jiang Chen's presence only served to highlight how remarkable President Liu was.
The disparity between these two friends was quite evident! One was a CEO while the other had no job at all; it was truly disheartening. Deep down, both women felt some sympathy for Jiang Chen.
Seeing his friend become a CEO while he remained unaccomplished must not feel good at all.
After lunch, Shen Li and Shang Yan returned to the company while Jiang Chen and Liu Ying lingered in the restaurant for a bit longer.
"President Liu, you should seize the opportunity," Jiang Chen said with a smile.
"Jiang Chen, please stop joking. There’s nothing between Shen Li and me; we’ve only met a few times," Liu Ying replied, his face turning red.
"Haha, I'm not joking! You should really consider dating. It would be embarrassing for someone like President Liu to reach twenty-seven without having been in a relationship," Jiang Chen laughed.
"To be honest, I do have feelings for Shen Li. She's excellent, but I'm afraid I'm not good enough for her. Her university is better than mine and her abilities surpass mine as well. If it weren't for your help, I would probably just be an ordinary office worker now; a woman of Shen Li's caliber wouldn't even glance at me," Liu Ying said sincerely after taking a deep breath. There was no need to hide anything in front of Jiang Chen.
"It's just dating! Remember that you're President Liu now; show some confidence! I can see that Shen Li is interested in you too. If she weren't exceptional herself, she wouldn't be worthy of you—after all, you're my friend!" Jiang Chen said with a grin. Deep down, Liu Ying still felt insecure; he could put on an act in front of others but felt no need to pretend in front of Jiang Chen. Without Jiang Chen's support, Liu Ying was indeed just an ordinary young man who might have to rely on blind dates to end his single status—how could any woman take the initiative towards him? Especially not someone as accomplished as a workplace goddess!
