Chapter 196: Chapter 196: Personal Feelings
Shen Jiangli sat in the chief seat, heard these words, and glanced sidelong at Shen Heyu.
Although he had a good relationship with her and was also willing to help her in life, he was ultimately a businessman who always liked to prioritize all interests.
If that was really the case, he certainly couldn’t tolerate it, but Shen Jiangli wasn’t blind, and he understood Shen Heyu, so he took the initiative to ask, “Is that so?”
Shen Heyu knew he still believed in her.
She didn’t know how to talk about Pei Yansi’s matter, which sounded more like she was making a weak defense to cover up her mistakes, but that was just how it was, and if she had made a mistake, she had made a mistake—defending herself was utterly useless.
She didn’t like doing things that were futile.
With that thought, she nodded silently, essentially admitting it, and then added, “I’m sorry, President Shen, I will find a way to contact Mr. Shao personally to apologize and try to get the business back.”
Shen Jiangli frowned.
In his memory, Shen Heyu wasn’t the kind of person who would let her personal life disrupt her work; there must be something going on behind the scenes that he didn’t know about.
But looking around at so many people in the meeting room, it wasn’t a good time to ask questions, so he said nothing.
However, just as other employees were demanding punishment for Shen Heyu, stating that as a department director she needed to set an example, everyone’s phones suddenly rang.
It was the unmistakable sound of a text message notification.
Others didn’t dare to check their phones in front of Shen Jiangli, so everyone looked at him, watching him open his phone.
Seeing the content there, Shen Jiangli’s thin lips curved into a smile and said, “Everyone, check your phones.”
Although the employees didn’t understand, they obediently took out their phones to look.
The content was about Mr. Shao’s resort making the headlines.
Many comments under the post were criticizing the resort, even mentioning that it was facing an investigation and the resort could soon be subjected to mandatory closure for rectification.
Upon seeing this post, everyone thought that if Shen Group had succeeded in their collaboration with him at this time, they would undoubtedly have been implicated, especially since the triggering incident involved a food poisoning issue, and being in the service industry, Shen Group would certainly get the blame.
Someone was the first to echo, “It seems Director Shen accidentally helped the company avoid a major risk.”
The rest of the people also joined in the echoing.
What was originally a fault inadvertently became a merit, and Shen Heyu was still a bit dazed and couldn’t react.
But it felt too coincidental to be normal. Thinking about what Pei Yansi had done in the private room, she couldn’t help but be suspicious in her heart.
No matter her suspicions, there was no way for her to know the truth in advance.
Shen Jiangli dismissed the meeting, and when everyone had left, Shen Heyu didn’t leave, and being friends for many years, she could tell that Shen Jiangli had something to say to her.
When only the two of them were left in the meeting room, he finally asked, “Did something happen in your personal life again, is it Pei Yansi?”
Shen Heyu knew he must have figured it out, so she didn’t lie and nodded.
Shen Jiangli said, “Just endure for now, I and Doctor Lu are already trying to help you.”
“Thank you, but I think I still need to consider more,” Shen Heyu said, not wanting to let the people around her fall into Pei Yansi’s hands and become tools he could use to threaten her.
Shen Jiangli wanted to say more, but Shen Heyu’s phone rang.
She took it out and saw that it was Pei Yansi calling.
She pressed the answer button; the meeting room was very quiet, and Shen Jiangli could hear the voice from the other end as Pei Yansi casually said, “Have you got off work? I’ll come to pick you up.”
Shen Heyu glanced at the time; it was indeed past work hours, but she didn’t want to go with him. Before she could refuse, Pei Yansi said, “I’m coming over now.”
He didn’t give her any chance to refuse and hung up the phone. Perhaps because he understood her too well, he knew her every silence was her hesitating, trying to find excuses to reject him.
Shen Heyu looked at the hung-up phone, unable to help frowning.
She was silent for a few seconds before hearing Shen Jiangli above saying, “You go off work.”
“Okay, see you tomorrow.”
Shen Heyu stood up, took her things, and left.
Shen Jiangli watched her retreating figure, feeling an indescribable sensation in his heart. Her silhouette was very fragile, yet her steps were very firm.
Very much like a flower that sways in the wind but refuses to bend.
Shen Jiangli frowned, for a moment unable to clearly define his feelings for her. After so many years, they had always remained just friends, but he had to admit that knowing about her and Pei Yansi’s concerns, he felt very uncomfortable inside.
But his heart had been involved with too many people in the material world, and it was hard to distinguish what was truly sincere.

Shen Jiangli sat there lost in thought when he heard a knock at the meeting room door. He looked over and saw Han Manyin.
She cautiously said, “President Shen.”
Shen Jiangli was already irritated, he grunted and gestured, “Come here.”
Han Manyin had argued with him last time, and this was the best opportunity to make amends. She quickly closed the meeting room door and hurried over to his side.
“President Shen~” she intentionally used a voice that was hard for any man to resist.
Shen Jiangli grunted and reached out to pull her into his arms, staring deeply into her eyes and said, “What, you’re quite bold today?”
She had actually dared to provoke Shen Heyu in front of him; did she think he couldn’t see it?
Han Manyin dared not play dumb, since he had brought it up, he must already have understood fully. Being a lover, the most important thing was to be sensible, and when it was time to be honest, she had to be honest.
She deliberately said, “I was just telling the truth today, I indeed suspected that the end of Mr. Shao’s business deal was because of Director Shen’s relationship, but now everything turned out well, right? She accidentally did a good deed for the company.”
While speaking, her hand deliberately stroked over Shen Jiangli’s sensitive spot.
Shen Jiangli’s expression remained cold as he held down her hand, quietly scrutinizing her, his eyes full of indifference.
“Better be so. If I get to know one more time, you can leave, understand?”
His airy words, however, made Han Manyin hate him even more. She couldn’t understand why just speaking some ill of Shen Heyu warranted him blaming her, even wanting her to disappear from his side.
The more she thought about it, the more resentful she felt.
“I understand…” Yet she had to pretend to be sensible and submissive, deliberately pleasing him.
Shen Jiangli seemed satisfied, rewarding her with a kiss on the corner of her mouth, “I like obedient women.”
