Chapter 187: Chapter 187 Apology

“Of course, I’m not willing.”

Shen Heyu stood without moving, pondering in her mind how to refuse, when Han Manyin, who was behind her, stepped forward, fanning the flames and said, “Director Shen, as a boss who has arrived late, it’s naturally your responsibility to apologize.”

“You should know that President Shen places great importance on this business deal, it’s best if you don’t cause any trouble.”

Shen Heyu turned to glance at her.

She boldly met Shen Heyu’s gaze, utterly unconcerned about the others present, the challenge in her eyes was blatantly obvious.

Shao You sat on the side, watching the scene unfold with interest, the corners of his lips curving up. He loved watching dramas, especially when it was clear that there were hidden confrontations between the two women.

Shen Heyu had recently been in the news as Pei Yansi’s girlfriend, whom he had taken on a trip abroad. Pei Yansi hadn’t had any women by his side for many years, and then she suddenly appeared and even accompanied him on a business trip. How much that had escaped his knowledge was worth further investigation.

Most importantly, the person he was looking for had lost contact after getting involved with Pei Yansi.

He wanted to find her, and Shen Heyu was the best breakthrough.

Han Manyin took the initiative to pick up the wine bottle from the table and filled Shen Heyu’s glass, then personally brought it to her with a smile, “Director Shen, have a drink, shall you?”

If it wasn’t for the sake of making things difficult for Shen Heyu, she would never be so cordial, both serving the wine and offering it personally.

Shen Heyu frowned tightly, having already thought of a way to refuse, but before she could speak, she heard Shao You laugh and say, “Director Shen is still so unwilling to give me face, the sincerity of Shen Group is also just so-so.”

His gaze was full of interest as he sized up Shen Heyu. He had to admit, she was beautiful, and it was no wonder she could stay by Pei Yansi’s side, even openly accompanying him without care for media attention.

“If that’s the case, let’s call it a day.”

Shao You was about to stand and leave.

Shen Heyu thought of how Shen Jiangli had treated her over the years, allowing her to handle this business because he didn’t trust anyone else. If she were to mess it up, she didn’t know how she could face him.

Especially since her being late was her own fault for not controlling her temper and arguing with Han Manyin in the parking lot.

This fault, it was indeed hers to bear.

“Mr. Shao, wait,” Shen Heyu called out.

Shao You looked surprised, glanced down at her, then sat back down, signaling with his eyes for Shen Heyu to drink.

Shen Heyu looked at the wine glass in Han Manyin’s hand, took it over, and tilted her head back to down it in one gulp.

Han Manyin had intentionally filled the glass to the brim. Having drunk it, Shen Heyu already felt a discomfort in her head, especially the burning sensation as the strong alcohol passed down her throat, which was very unpleasant. After emptying the glass, she couldn’t help but cough repeatedly.

“Director Shen, such a good capacity for alcohol! Since you are so brave, why did you refuse for so long? Continue, there are still nine glasses left.”

No sooner had Shao You’s voice fallen than Han Manyin again eagerly started pouring the wine.

She filled the glasses to the brim and watched as Shen Heyu gulped them down.

By the fifth glass, Shen Heyu was already feeling quite ill, her stomach nauseated. Unable to bear it any longer, she said, “Mr. Shao, I really can’t drink…”

Shao You could see that her face had begun to turn red from the alcohol, knowing that she really couldn’t drink. Thinking that she was, after all, Pei Yansi’s woman, he couldn’t take it too far right away, as it would throw off his plans.

With this in mind, Shao You laughed and said, “Look at you, I was just joking. How could I really make you drink ten glasses? If I did, wouldn’t President Shen have to take me to task? Let’s just leave it at that for the delay.”

Shen Heyu nodded and finally took a seat.

Shao You observed her for quite a while, and Han Manyin also sat beside her, pulling out the business negotiation documents from her bag and handing them over to him.

Shen Heyu said, “Mr. Shao, please look over the documents, and if there’s no issue, you can sign.”

“With Director Shen being so beautiful and capable, of course there won’t be any problems,” said Shao You. In the end, he didn’t continue to give her a hard time and picked up the pen to sign his name.

After the signatures, the server brought the dishes.

It was lunchtime, and the dishes ordered by Shao You were rich in variety. Shen Heyu, having just had some alcohol and feeling uncomfortable in her stomach, wanted to eat something to settle it and started to eat seriously.

Although the business deal had been difficult from the start, the signing was the quickest ever, so Shen Heyu relaxed and focused on her meal.

The sight of this was somewhat charming.

Suddenly, Shao You added food to her plate.

Noticing an unexpected piece of fish in her dish, Shen Heyu looked up at Shao You, puzzled, as he chuckled and said, “Director Shen, eat.”

“Sorry, I don’t eat fish.” Shen Heyu used another pair of chopsticks to flick the piece of fish away.

“…” It was clear to any observer that she was rejecting him.

Shao You wasn’t annoyed and continued to ask, “Does Director Shen have a boyfriend?”

Shen Heyu frowned. “That’s my private matter.”

She had no interest in someone who inquired about personal affairs upon first meeting and just wanted to finish eating and leave quickly.

However, Han Manyin was sitting nearby and, laughing, said, “Of course she doesn’t have a boyfriend, but there are quite a few men around her. It’s not good; Mr. Shao should have no illusions about her.”

Shen Heyu’s furrowed brows relaxed. It was hard not to read into Shao You’s questioning, but most importantly, once Han Manyin said this, it would create a bad impression of her for him. Thus, any improper thoughts he had would be quashed along with her words.

This, in turn, was an inadvertent help to her.

Just as this thought crossed her mind, she heard Shao You smiling and saying, “Really? What a coincidence, I like that — no fixed boyfriend, yet surrounded by numerous men. Doesn’t this indirectly prove that Director Shen is truly charming?”

Shen Heyu nearly gagged at his words.

What did he mean by he liked this kind of thing?

She didn’t want to endure it any longer, grabbed the documents, tossed aside her bowl and chopsticks, stood up, and said, “Mr. Shao, the cooperation documents have been signed. Shall we call it a day?”

Without waiting for Shao You to respond, she turned around and left.

Shao You didn’t call for her to stay but just quietly watched her leave, his eyes filled with dark amusement and malice.

Han Manyin, misreading Shao You’s interest in Shen Heyu, took the initiative to ask for a WeChat contact and even gave her contact information to him.

Meanwhile, the already departed Shen Heyu knew nothing of this.

She sat in the back seat of the car, covering her stomach uncomfortably, and not long after, Han Manyin got in the car to drive, looking at her through the rearview mirror with smug satisfaction.

“Who would have thought Director Shen would have such a day,” she thought.
