Therefore, Lin Chu didn't say anymore. He was afraid that if he said too much, the person who originally had a little bit of a good impression would be alienated because of the awkwardness.
The right amount of teasing could also catalyze the development of the two of them. If he said too much, it would have the opposite effect.
The two of them walked slowly. Shen Zongyi wanted to listen to what the two of them were talking about, but he didn't want to make it too obvious. He could only walk out of the office building with his ears red.
Zheng Yuntong was waiting at the door for her colleagues to eat together. Lin Chu left first, so he didn't see Shen Zongyi pretend as if nothing had happened and slowly turned back.
Just then, a few female employees from the accounting department and customer service department came out. They had all made an appointment with Zheng Yuntong to eat.
"I just found out that there's a grilled fish shop two streets behind the company. The reviews are very good. Let's go and try it today," Xiao Zhao from the accounting department said.
Zhou Xinman from the human resources department also walked over. She was stunned for a moment and shouted in shock, "Assistant Shen?"
Was she seeing things just now? She clearly saw Assistant Shen just go out.
Shen Zongyi calmly nodded and greeted, "I left something behind, so I came back to get it."
"Oh, oh." Zhou Xinman didn't doubt him.
Zheng Yuntong thought about Lin Chu's words just now and didn't dare to look at Shen Zongyi awkwardly.
In the past, she didn't have much interaction with Shen Zongyi. Just looking at his cold face, she didn't have the courage to chat with him. Shen Zongyi followed Wei Zilin. Usually, if there was anything, he would directly convey it to the department head and wouldn't easily come to the department. And Zheng Yuntong wasn't an assistant. Usually, it wasn't her turn to deliver documents. At most, she would just nod and greet Shen Zongyi when they met.
But she didn't know if it was because she had been in contact with him recently or because of Lin Chu's teasing just now, it cast a circle of ripples in her heart. Originally, she didn't think much about it, but recently, she couldn't help but think about him. When she couldn't see, his serious face always appeared in her mind. When she saw him, her eyes couldn't help but wander to his face.
Gradually, the image of him in her heart became clearer and heavier. Sometimes, thinking about it made her heart beat faster.
Zheng Yuntong didn't understand. She had been in the company for a long time. Although she was young, she was an old employee. Why didn't she have this feeling before? Why did it suddenly appear now?
This was also what Zheng Yuntong couldn't understand, so she really couldn't figure out what exactly she was feeling in her heart.
Did she really have a good impression of Shen Zongyi, or was it just a temporary emotion?
Anyway, at this moment, facing Shen Zongyi, it was as if she could smell the faint masculine fragrance coming from his body. Originally, it was a rather normal fragrance. She had smelled it before when she went shopping at the mall and passed by the counter. But now, she was blushing.
Shen Zongyi glanced at her without anyone noticing. Zheng Yuntong lowered her head and didn't see him. She only vaguely felt his gaze and didn't see the fleeting smile on his face.
He nodded at them and walked back.
Everyone thought it was strange, but they didn't think too much about it. They went to the grilled fish restaurant behind the office building.
Lin Chu came out of the company and turned a corner to Yanhui. She didn't notice that in an Audi on the side of the road, a pair of eyes were looking at her through the window without blinking.
Dai Huimin put her hands on the window and suddenly felt timid.
Looking at Lin Chu's outstanding temperament now, she felt that he was much better than Lu Weining.
Lu Weining had a kind of dignified temperament, but Lin Chu didn't pretend. It was natural, especially natural, gentle and comfortable.
Looking at such a gentle person, she wondered if he would hate her.
"Aren't you going to go down and stop her?" Lu Weining urged. "If this keeps dragging, I don't think you need to let her know that she has a mother who has always cared about her."
"I …" Dai Huimin hesitated. She clearly wanted to see him and talk to him, but at this time, she really didn't dare to. "In a while … what's the first thing I say to her?"
Lu Weining resisted the urge to roll her eyes. She directly opened the door for her and pushed Dai Huimin out. "You have to summon the courage to go there first. When you see her, you will naturally say it."
Dai Huimin was pushed out of the car by Lu Weining, and the door behind her was closed.
Lu Weining was afraid of being seen by Lin Chu, so she quickly drove the car further away. She found a position where she could see them and stopped by the side of the road.
Dai Huimin gritted her teeth and timidly jumped in front of Lin Chu, blocking her way.
Lin Chu was shocked. When he saw the appearance of the person clearly, he remembered that she was the one who sneaked in front of the orphanage twice.
Thinking of the old director's words, he knew that this person was his so-called mother.
Seeing her, Lin Chu frowned and no other emotions appeared.
There was no resentment or excitement. His heart was like an ancient well, without any ripples.
Lin Chu raised his eyes and didn't play dumb with her. He just said coldly, "Ms. Dai."
"You …" Dai Huimin looked at him in surprise. She didn't know what to say at first, but now she didn't have to worry about it. She just subconsciously blurted out, "You know me?"
Lin Chu nodded. "The old director told me."
"Then … Then … That's you?" Dai Huimin's eyes suddenly turned red, and tears welled up in her eyes. "I took my birthday to the orphanage, but the old director said she didn't remember. I know she remembered, but she just didn't want to tell me. I — "
Lin Chu frowned. Dai Huimin's words sounded like she was talking about the old director.
He didn't have a good impression of Dai Huimin to begin with, and now he didn't like her even more.
She looked left and right. At this time, Lu Weining had already left. She didn't see Lu Weining's car. But because of Yan Beicheng's reminder yesterday, she didn't believe that Dai Huimin came alone.
Retracting his gaze, Lin Chu said, "There are people coming and going here. Let's talk somewhere else."
Dai Huimin was extremely surprised. She didn't expect Lin Chu to be willing to talk to her. She thought that Lin Chu wouldn't care about her at all.
Lin Chu didn't take her to a restaurant or a coffee shop. He just passed through the tall buildings on the side of the road and stood in an inconspicuous corner.
"Ms. Dai, why did you come to find me?" Lin Chu asked indifferently. He didn't show any hatred, but he didn't have any smile either.
Dai Huimin's heart ached. Lin Chu's lack of any special reaction was more uncomfortable than yelling at her.
"I didn't … I didn't mean anything else. I just wanted to see you," Dai Huimin said.
"And then?" Lin Chu asked calmly. He looked into the distance and seemed to see a familiar Audi. His eyes flashed with mockery before he retracted his gaze and said, "You see me now. And then?"
"No … I … I just want to see if you're doing well," Dai Huimin said softly.
Lin Chu didn't say anything, but she cried again.
Lin Chu said calmly, "You see, I'm doing well. If you pay attention to the news, you should know who I'm with. When I was young, I met the old dean who took care of me. When I grew up, I met Beicheng. It's the greatest luck in my life. I'm doing very well now. The Yan family treats me as a family member and doesn't despise my background. I treat the old dean as my own grandmother, and Beicheng is also filial to her. I have nothing to be dissatisfied with with my current life. "
Dai Huimin's lips moved as if she wanted to say something. Seeing that she didn't speak, Lin Chu continued, "So, you wanted to see me, and you've seen me now. Is there anything else?"
"You … Do you hate me?" Dai Huimin looked at Lin Chu eagerly. She raised her hands as if she wanted to hold Lin Chu's hands but didn't dare to.
Lin Chu saw it all. His hands hung by the side of his legs and didn't move. He just moved back without a trace.
He looked at Dai Huimin in surprise and blinked as if it was unbelievable. "Why would you think that? I don't hate you."
Just as Dai Huimin's face revealed a surprised look, Lin Chu slowly said, "The old dean told me that I've been in the orphanage since I was a baby. From the time I can remember, I only remember life in the orphanage. So, to me, you're just a stranger. There's no resentment toward strangers. "
Dai Huimin suddenly stepped forward excitedly and grabbed Lin Chu's wrist. She didn't even have time to dodge.
Her expression changed and she wanted to shake off Dai Huimin's hand, but Dai Huimin was so excited that her grip was surprisingly strong.
At this time, a person suddenly rushed out and grabbed Dai Huimin's wrist. She cried out in pain and let go of Lin Chu's wrist.
