Psst! We're moving!
The car slowly drove away, and the slender figure at the entrance of the parking lot gradually disappeared from the rear-view mirror.
Shen Shuyi let out a soft sigh of relief, and only then turned to look at the man sitting beside him.
The car window was closed, with only the interior light from the ceiling remaining. The man was looking down, flipping through the documents in his hand. Half of his handsome profile was in the shadows, and his expression was unclear.
Shen Shuyi felt a little uneasy. The car had obviously been parked there for a while, so... he wondered how much of the conversation between him and Sheng Wenyan had been heard.
“Uncle...”
“Are you going to intern at your dad’s place in a while?” the man asked in a flat tone.
Seeing that he didn’t mention the previous matter, Shen Shuyi thought he might not have heard it and felt a little relieved. “Yeah, my dad wants me to go, but I’d rather go to IZ.”
“Your dad probably hopes you’ll stay by his side.”
“That’s true... but I feel like I’d be tied down there. I still want to go to your place.”
“Get your dad to agree first.”
The man didn’t even look up when he spoke, which made him seem a little cold. But Shen Shuyi knew this was his usual demeanor and wasn’t directed at him.
Still, hearing that he didn’t directly say he would let him work at his company, Shen Shuyi felt a little disappointed.
Ever since he was a child, the person he admired most was his uncle.
The Shen family was wealthy and powerful, but the company Shen Zai now had was one he started from scratch, without relying on the family for a single cent. Others said that of the five Shen children, the youngest son, Shen Zai, had the most business acumen and ability.
Shen Shuyi also believed this, which was why he had always wanted to work with Shen Zai.
“Uncle, how about you help me talk to my dad?”
“Handle it yourself. I’m too lazy to fight with him over you.” Shen Zai put down the documents and looked up slightly from the shadows. His expression was half-languid, half-authoritative, with a sudden flash of brilliance. “Besides, the people on his team have more experience and can really teach you better.”
Shen Shuyi hurriedly said, “You’re also very experienced! It’s the same!”
But in the end, he was fond of his nephew.
The corners of Shen Zai’s mouth curved into a faint smile. “Don’t flatter me just to get away from your dad.”
“I’m not...”
Soon after, the car arrived at their home. Shen Shuyi prepared to get out. “Uncle, do you want to come in for a bit? My dad should be home.”
Shen Zai: “Maybe next time, I have other things to do.”
“Okay, I’ll be going then.”
“Mm.”
Shen Shuyi turned to open the car door, but just as his hand touched it, he heard the person behind him ask, “Was the person talking to you in the parking lot just now from the Sheng family?”
Shen Shuyi froze for a moment, suddenly feeling a little embarrassed. It seemed he had heard their conversation after all.
He rubbed his nose, feeling awkward. “She’s from the Sheng family.”
Shen Zai hummed in response and said, “Be careful.”
Shen Shuyi was even more embarrassed. “I know, there’s nothing between her and me.”
Shen Zai didn’t seem to care about his last sentence, only saying, “Please give my regards to your father. You can get out now.”
“Oh...”

On the other side, after the engagement banquet ended, Sheng Wenyan changed her clothes and got into Yang Sheng’s car, heading to their usual club.
Almost all of the young masters and ladies from the engagement banquet were there. Sheng Wenyan felt a little down and didn’t feel like having fun with anyone once she arrived. She found a small corner, drinking and questioning her life.
“Hey, what are you doing? Aren’t you going to play?” Yang Sheng and Lou Ning finally found her after searching around.
Sheng Wenyan’s eyes were blurry from drinking. She lifted her eyelids and glanced at them. “I’m annoyed. Don’t mind me, you guys go have fun on your own.”
Yang Sheng: “What’s wrong? Who dared to make our Princess Sheng angry? Are they tired of living?”
“Who else could it be? I bet it’s that Shen Shuyi,” Lou Ning sat down next to her. “Did you get rejected after confessing today?”
Yang Sheng: “She confessed? And got rejected again? What the hell! What’s wrong with that guy’s eyes... You wait, I’m going to call and scold him right now.”
“Are you crazy?” Sheng Wenyan did a swift sit-up and snatched Yang Sheng’s phone. “Scold him for what? He just rejected me, what’s wrong with that?”
“And you’re still defending him? You’re too far gone... He just has a good face, is that all?”
“You don’t know anything.” Sheng Wenyan was a bit tipsy and didn’t want to deal with Yang Sheng. She just said to Lou Ning, “I think he has a big misunderstanding about me. You tell me, am I really that untrustworthy? I told him I liked him and wanted to be in a relationship with him, so why does he think I’m just playing around?”
Lou Ning shrugged her shoulders. “Well, you can’t blame him. You have a bad reputation and a dishonest-looking face.”
“...”
Damn.
Lou Ning: “Shen Shuyi is a serious, good student. And you’re a hedonistic, a playboy. Someone like that definitely isn’t his type.”
Sheng Wenyan was speechless for a moment. “So, what kind of person do you think is his type?”
“Definitely a good girl who’s respectful to elders, always striving for success, and good in the kitchen and out.”
Sheng Wenyan wanted to roll her eyes.
Lou Ning: “Forget it, Wenyan. So many people are chasing you, why are you so hung up on him? You’ll never be able to win him over. Let’s move on to someone else.”
“Who said that!” The alcohol went to her head, and Sheng Wenyan was instantly provoked. She stood up straight. “Why can’t I win over Shen Shuyi? I’m telling you, he will be mine sooner or later!”
With that loud shout, the people laughing and fooling around nearby all looked over.
They had all heard rumors about Sheng Wenyan liking Shen Shuyi, but they also knew that the two of them were completely different in personality and lifestyle, and the chances of them getting together were almost zero.
Seeing Sheng Wenyan’s resolute expression, everyone started to stir.
“Oh, Princess Sheng, there are plenty of other fish in the sea. What’s so great about him? Look at me, I’m not bad either.”
“Shen Shuyi likes the pure and innocent type.”
“Hahaha, Wenyan, what’s up? Are you going to officially start chasing him? Can you even do it?”
“She can’t. It’s been over two years, hasn’t it? If she was going to get him, she would have by now.”
“Are you all trying to piss me off?” Sheng Wenyan was furious. “Are you all so sure I can’t do it?”
“He’s a rigid little fossil, you really can’t.”
“You—Alright, I’m making a promise right now! I will definitely get Shen Shuyi!” Sheng Wenyan wobbled and stretched out her hand. “Half a year... No, three months! I’ll definitely get him in three months.”
“Hahaha, so bold? What happens if you don’t?”
“What if I don’t? If I don’t, I’ll pay for all of your drinks for an entire year!”
“Damn! Playing so big? I’ll be drinking the best wine all year then.”
Sheng Wenyan gave the person a sinister look. “Don’t worry, you won’t get to drink it.”
________________________________________
People who are drunk often like to make big declarations, and Sheng Wenyan was no exception.
The next day, when she woke up with messy hair and sat on her bed, she felt a little bit of regret. After all, she would lose a lot of face if she failed in front of so many people.
But it was only a little bit of regret. She felt there was still a lot of hope.
Because the first time she confessed, Shen Shuyi said he would be very busy during college and didn’t plan on being in a relationship.
She wouldn’t believe anyone else who said that, but she believed Shen Shuyi. So after that confession, she really didn’t bother him anymore and didn’t seriously try to pursue him. Most of the time, she just greeted him and joked around to maintain a presence.
Now that college was about to end, it wasn’t wrong for her to seriously pursue her crush, right?!
What’s so difficult about a pure, well-behaved image of someone who is always striving to be better? She, Sheng Wenyan, can be a chameleon.
After figuring this out, she leisurely climbed out of bed and wandered downstairs in her pajamas.
“Wenyan, you’re up.” A well-dressed woman was standing in the living room. She was very beautiful and, although she was thirty-four, she was so well-maintained that she looked no different from a girl in her twenties.
“Where’s my dad?”
“In the reception room. We have guests today.”
“Oh.”
“You should go change. In your pajamas... the guests might come out later.”
Sheng Wenyan sat on the sofa without a care. “Aunt Chen.”
“Yes, Miss.” The housekeeper brought a cup of hot milk and handed it to her.
Sheng Wenyan took a sip and said to the well-dressed woman next to her, “Stepmom, I’m going back to bed later. Don’t worry, I won’t bother the guests.”
Tian Jiao, who was called stepmom, didn’t say much more. Her relationship with Sheng Wenyan had always been friendly and non-confrontational. “Oh, right. I just heard your dad talking about your internship inside.”
Sheng Wenyan frowned. “Why is he talking about my internship with his friends?”
Tian Jiao: “Hmm... It seems he wants to arrange for you to intern at someone else’s company.”
“What?” Sheng Wenyan immediately put down her milk. “Why is he sending me to someone else’s company when we have our own?”
“Why do you think? Who would dare to manage you at your own company?” Just then, a man’s voice came from inside.
Then, Sheng Wenyan saw her father, Sheng Tianhe, walk out. She stood up and said irritably, “Am I still your daughter? You’re always trying to push me away. Can’t you manage me if I’m at our own company?”
Sheng Tianhe: “I’m not often at home or at the company, how can I manage you?”
“So you know you’re not around often...” Sheng Wenyan glared at him. “Anyway, I’m not going to some crappy company. Let whoever wants to go, go. Why would I go to someone else’s place to suffer?”
Sheng Tianhe: “Sheng Wenyan, you speak to me properly! I’m arranging for you to go to IZ Capital. Mr. Shen is even here at our house today. I’m telling you, for a finance student like you, how many people want to...”
“Your daughter is unmotivated, has no ambition, is a lost cause, and is even disliked by her own father. There’s no hope for her in this life.” Sheng Wenyan stood up and walked upstairs.
“Sheng Wenyan, you get back down here!”
“No!”
Bang! The door slammed shut louder than anything.
“Alright, alright. You know Wenyan has a stubborn temper. You arranged it for her without discussing it first, so of course she’s angry,” Tian Jiao took Sheng Tianhe’s arm and comforted him.
“I can’t deal with her anymore,” Sheng Tianhe turned around and saw that his friends from the reception room had all come out. He smiled at the young man in front. “I’ve made you a laughingstock. My daughter has been spoiled by me. She talks nonsense, please don’t mind her.”
Shen Zai withdrew his gaze from the top of the stairs and smiled faintly. “It’s nothing.”

Sheng Wenyan, after throwing herself onto her bed, angrily called Lou Ning.
“I’m so mad, I’m so mad! My dad actually wants me to go to some other company to intern and suffer. Is our own company just for show? Is he that eager to exile me?!”
Lou Ning: “Huh? Did you agree?”
Sheng Wenyan: “Of course not! What’s this IZ Capital? Can I slack off and take naps there like I can at our own company? This is a crucial three-month period for me. I still need to go after my Shen Shuyi!”
Lou Ning: “Wait... IZ Capital? Are you sure it’s IZ Capital?!”
Sheng Wenyan: “Yeah, why?”
Lou Ning: “Damn, Princess! It’s IZ, IZ! Shen Zai’s IZ! Shen Zai! Get it?”
“?”
“Shen Shuyi’s uncle!”
Sheng Wenyan’s eyebrows twitched slightly. “So?”
Lou Ning was exasperated. “The rumor is that Shen Shuyi has a great relationship with his uncle. And IZ Capital is perfect for our major. Shen Shuyi is 99% likely to intern at his uncle’s company.”
“...”
Lou Ning said, “Look, isn’t this perfect? You go too, and you’ll be in the same intern group. You’ll be together all day, every day.”
Together all day, every day.
Interning together.
Sheng Wenyan suddenly remembered the blurred figure in the car window at the parking lot that day... and she also remembered Sheng Tianhe saying just now that “Mr. Shen is even here at our house.”
She stiffly put down her phone and took a long breath while staring at the ceiling.
Oh.
Was it too late to get down on her knees and beg her dad to pull some strings for her?
