Mr. Liang, you mustn't covet other people's fiancées!

At the end of the second day's meeting, Jiang You gave a brief announcement.

"Next week, I will lead Team Leader Wen and Team Leader Gong on a business trip to Hangzhou."

Wen Li looked up at Gong Shangshang sitting opposite her, silently plotting her plan in her mind.

"Vice President Jiang, isn't Director Lu coming with us this time?" Gong Shangshang asked, fiddling with the pen between her fingers.

Jiang You didn't even lift his eyelids: "He violated company rules and will be suspended for two months starting next week."

"Clatter"

Gong Shangshang dropped the pen in her hand onto the table, clearly stunned.

Jiang You looked up, his voice cold: "What's wrong with Team Leader Gong?"

"N-nothing." Gong Shangshang quickly picked up the pen, lowered her head to hide the fleeting panic in her eyes, and tightened her grip on the pen slightly.

There's not a single word about it!

She subconsciously looked up at Wen Li across from her. Wen Li was looking down at the documents in front of her, her expression indifferent, as if she hadn't heard anything.

Gong Shangshang frowned, feeling somewhat flustered.

Gyeongju International Airport on Monday morning

As Wen Li and Jiang Yougang entered the terminal, they spotted Liang Chaoxu on the phone in the distance.

A sub-project of the cross-border logistics park, a collaboration between Shengjiang and Jingyue, is set to launch soon. Prior to this, the heads of both companies need to oversee the relevant processes throughout.

When Liang Chaoxu turned around, he saw the two of them and raised his hand to greet them.

Didn't we agree that each person in charge would go? Why are you, the group president, meddling in this?

After silently cursing in his heart, Jiang You turned to Wen Li and said with a smile, "It's still early, let's go get some breakfast first."

Before Wen Li could speak, Gong Shangshang chimed in, "Great! I'm a little hungry."

Wen Li nodded: "Then let's go."

The three of them randomly chose a noodle shop and had just sat down when Liang Chaoxu and Meng Shu, the investment director of their company, also came in and sat down next to them.

Jiang You picked up the menu and asked Wen Li and Gong Shangshang what they wanted to eat.

Wen Li: "A bowl of pickled mustard greens and shredded pork noodles."

Gong Shangshang hesitated for a moment before saying, "Then I'll have braised beef noodles, and an egg."

Jiang You looked at Wen Li: "Team Leader Wen, don't you need to add eggs?"

"No need," Wen Li shook her head.

Hearing this, Liang Chaoxu, who was also looking at the menu, glanced at Jiang You with a hint of disdain. You don't seem to care about Wen Li at all.

"Mr. Liang, you'll need to take cold medicine later, so please eat something light," Meng Shu, sitting opposite Liang Chaoxu, said with concern as she looked through the menu.

Such intimate reminders that go beyond a working relationship inevitably make people wonder.

Jiang You immediately turned to look at Meng Shu and said meaningfully, "Director Meng, I didn't expect that you would take care of President Liang's personal matters in addition to your work."

Meng Shu smiled gently: "These are all habits I developed when we were together in college, and I can't change them overnight."

"That's good." Jiang You raised an eyebrow and turned to look at Wen Li without making a sound. The latter only looked down at her phone, her face revealing no emotion.

Liang Chaoxu also subconsciously looked at Wen Li, and seeing that she didn't care at all, he felt a mixture of sadness and joy.

I'm afraid she cares, yet I'm also afraid she doesn't.

Wen Li stared at the project data on her phone screen, somewhat lost in thought.

She had seen Meng Shu five years ago in front of a wonton shop.

At that time, Liang Chaoxu and Meng Shu were arguing. She was squatting under a sycamore tree not far away eating an ice pop and vaguely heard snippets of their conversation.

They were saying things like, "Liang Chaoxu, do you even have a heart...?" and "Meng Shu, my patience is limited..."

Adhering to the principle of not eavesdropping, she got up and walked further away, no longer listening.

All she remembered was that Meng Shu left the wonton shop in a huff, while Liang Chaoxu sat motionless at that small table for a long time before casually getting up to ask her for an ice pop.

She secretly marveled at how strong this person's emotional control was.

"Wen Li?" Gong Shangshang patted Wen Li on the shoulder: "Can I borrow your tablet?"

Wen Li snapped out of her daze, took the tablet out of her bag, and handed it over.

Gong Shangshang took it: "Password?"

Wen Li, wary, snatched the tablet back from her hand: "I'll do it."

Gong Shangshang pouted and quickly rolled her eyes at her.

Liang Chaoxu withdrew his gaze: "Then I'll have a bowl of pickled mustard greens and shredded pork noodles."

"Me too!" Jiang You followed closely behind.

Liang Chaoxu turned his head, frowned at him, and said, "You're such a tagalong!"

Jiang Youchong raised an eyebrow and said, "I want to eat the same thing as Wen Li!"

After a breakfast fraught with tension, the group boarded the plane together.

Noon, at a high-end hotel in Hangzhou.

Liang Chaoxu handed the card to the front desk: "We'll each have a room."

"No need, Mr. Liang," Gong Shangshang said, taking Wen Li's arm. "Wen Li and I can share a room."

Liang Chaoxu turned to look at Wen Li, and the two exchanged glances quickly.

Wen Li subtly curved the corners of her lips and nodded with a smile: "Yes, I'm with Team Leader Gong."

Jiang You asked with suspicion, "Our company's travel expense standards are quite high. Aren't you afraid to stay alone?"

Wen Li feigned, "A little."

Liang Chaoxu's lips twitched, and he turned to the receptionist, saying, "Then give them both a room."

Jiang You belatedly realized the danger of the exchange between the two men and immediately thought to himself, "Mr. Liang, why don't we share a room too?"

Liang Chaoxu looked over speechlessly, his face full of disgust: "No need. I'm not afraid, and I don't have a penchant for living with people of the same sex."

"Then let's live across from each other." Jiang You was unwilling to give up and was determined to nip any possibility in the bud.

Liang Chaoxu ignored him and spoke seriously with the front desk: "Please separate my room from his room as much as possible. Preferably not on the same floor."

Wen Li and her two companions, along with the other staff members at the front desk: ...

The group each took their room keys and entered the elevator.

Before Jiang You and Meng Shu got off the elevator, Meng Shu took out a box of cold medicine from her bag and handed it to Liang Chaoxu: "Mr. Liang, remember to take your medicine on time."

"Thank you." Liang Chaoxu took it, clenched his fist, pressed it to his lips, and coughed lightly twice.

Wen Li stood to the side, her expression indifferent, showing no reaction.

On the contrary, Gong Shangshang, standing to the side, was suppressing a laugh with a crooked mouth, looking like she had bumped into something.

Jiang You turned to look at Wen Li: "You two, finish cleaning up and rest for a while before coming down to the restaurant for dinner."

"Okay, Vice President Jiang," Gong Shangshang replied with a smile.

Wen Li was secretly pondering how to guard against Gong Shangshang and collect evidence over the next two weeks, and didn't hear Jiang You's words at all.

"Wen Li?" Jiang You asked again.

Liang Chaoxu also turned to look at Wen Li, his expression unreadable.

Upon seeing this, Gong Shangshang, who was standing next to Wen Li, quickly nudged her with her elbow.

Wen Li snapped out of her daze, looked at the others, and nodded blankly, "Okay."

After Wen Li and Gong Shangshang arrived at their room and tidied up, they went to bed for a nap.

Wen Li's phone vibrated under her pillow. She took it out and saw that it was a message from Liang Chaoxu.

What's wrong? You seem distracted.

Wen Li glanced at Gong Shangshang next door and tapped her finger on the screen.

Just now in the lobby, I accidentally saw Gong Shangshang's phone. It seems Han Mingzhu has also come to Hangzhou.

Liang Chaoxu replied a few seconds later.

Don't worry, get some rest. Message me immediately if anything happens.

Wen Li stared at the line of text on the screen, her lips unconsciously pursing into a straight line.

After a while, she replied: 【Okay.】

After ending the chat, Liang Chaoxu stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, fiddling with his phone, gazing thoughtfully at the towering buildings in the distance.
