Chapter 1049: Chapter 1049: Has Your Heart Already Turned Away?
The next day, Chen Zhinan started handling the matters of the Shi Family Bank.
He was incredibly busy.
Shi Qingqing stayed with him the whole time, and she had learned a lot about the bank recently.
They even personally went to a construction site out of town.
It was Shi Qingqing’s first time in such a place, interacting with the workers.
Watching Chen Zhinan speak eloquently with everyone, no matter what the topic,
without the slightest air of superiority.
In fact, they even stayed in the employee dormitory that night.
Single beds, bunk beds.
Chen Zhinan slept on the bottom, and she slept on the top.
"I’ve never slept in a place like this before; it’s such a novel experience."
"We’ll manage for one night. It shows our sincerity. We’ll settle their wages tomorrow. With the New Year approaching, if wages aren’t paid, and someone stirs things up, it could lead to unrest."
"Alright! Thanks..."
"No worries, it’s my duty. Go to sleep. If you really can’t sleep, I don’t mind if you come down and sleep with me."
Shi Qingqing wrapped herself in the blanket, "I can sleep on my own."
But by midnight, Shi Qingqing had snuggled down.
It felt most comfortable sleeping with him.
In his half-asleep state, Chen Zhinan felt a small body burrow into his arms.
This feeling was actually quite comforting.
He pulled her closer with his large hand, bringing them snugly together.
"I’m sorry for waking you."
"It’s okay, I was waiting for you."
How did he know she would come over at night!
So embarrassing!
Shi Qingqing finally felt warm and fell asleep peacefully.
The next day, they had breakfast in the employee canteen, together with the workers.
Listening to them chat and laugh.
In the morning, they distributed wages according to the roster.
Ensuring everyone could go home for the New Year with peace of mind and even gave out bonuses so they could continue working here next year.
The way they won the workers’ hearts was impressive.
Shi Qingqing looked at him, stars in her eyes.
Who knew that Chen Zhinan, who used to teach computer science, could be so capable?
"I studied finance in graduate school," Chen Zhinan explained to her on the return flight.
"I see, that’s impressive!"
She had no interest in studying after finishing college.
Yet he went to graduate school!
She felt so unmotivated!
"What are you thinking?" Chen Zhinan noticed her daydreaming, "If you want to study, I’ll support you."
"I’ll think about it!"
——
Today was particularly lively.
A blazing bonfire was set up on the field, with roast lamb and roast pig nearby.
Some people were singing and dancing at the moment.
After training for so long, it was rare to have such a relaxing time.
Today was January 13th.
Ye Gushen’s birthday.
Tang Suiyu was still making a cake in the canteen.
He Yuning followed beside her curiously.
"Unfair! Unfair!"
"Sui Sui, you’re so unfair, your heart is so biased!"
"The cake you made for me was only six inches, just enough for me to eat. Why is this one so big and five-tiered?"
"Has your heart already shifted?"
"Sui Sui, our years of friendship, and you hurt my heart like this!"
"Could it be that you’re a woman who values romance over friendship? You’ve disappointed me so much!"
Tang Suiyu couldn’t take it anymore, "Sorry to disappoint you, but Ye Gushen is my husband. Besides, that night, you were the only one eating your cake. Tonight, with so many people, it’s still not enough!"
"Then I demand. I’ll just take the top layer!" He Yuning blinked her eyes.
