Chapter 338 Is it inappropriate for husband and wife to be together?
Lu Xue and the senior executives of Yunshan walked towards Sheng Tingchen's direction.
"President Sheng."
Sheng Tingchen looked at them and nodded slightly.
Lu Xue will compile a detailed report on today's activities and give it to him.
The two senior executives chatted with Sheng Tingchen.
One of them casually remarked, "President Su and President Jiang seemed to have a remarkably good understanding when discussing their views today."
After today's discussion, Su Qingzhi is completely on Jiang Huaixu's side regarding his professional explanation, expressing her full agreement.
Those who don't know the situation might think the two have some kind of close collaboration.
From Yunshan's perspective, Su Qingzhi's behavior was somewhat disregarding Yunshan's and their CEO Sheng's reputation.
Upon hearing the executive's words, Sheng Tingchen's calm and handsome face remained expressionless. He looked up at the three people and strode straight forward.
The man's outstanding charisma drew attention.
Rong Shu spotted that handsome and tall figure in the crowd at a glance.
Su Qingzhi turned to look at Sheng Tingchen as he approached and said calmly, "You're back."
Sheng Tingchen gave a soft hum, but his gaze fell directly on Rong Shu, slowly moving down until it settled on her feet.
The next moment, he stepped forward and, without warning, knelt down on one knee and firmly grasped her ankle.
This sudden action left Rong Shu frozen in place.
Her pupils contracted slightly, and she gasped in surprise, "What are you doing?"
Rong Shu instinctively tried to pull her foot back, but the man's wrist was extremely strong, and she couldn't break free at all.
Her foot was lifted up like that, her slender, jade-like ankle easily held in the man's palm. Her neatly trimmed toenails were painted with nude nail polish, and the man openly held the woman's foot and placed it on his knee.
She had a band-aid on her heel, but the redness and swelling from chafing were clearly visible along the edges, and a band-aid on her thumb.
Those who witnessed this scene were stunned into silence.
Sheng Tingchen actually squatted down in front of a woman in public, lowering himself to her level.
She's no ordinary person; she's a high-ranking member of Rong En.
It's unbelievable what I'm seeing.
Of course, some people accepted it very quickly.
After all, Evelynn is exceptionally capable, and her looks and temperament are stunning; any normal man would be tempted by her.
However, she was able to have three outstanding men at the top of the pyramid—Su Qingzhi, Jiang Huaixu, and Sheng Tingchen—surrounding her, not to mention that Jiang Huaixu and Sheng Tingchen were rivals.
That means the method is exceptionally clever and skillful.
Su Qingzhi stared intently at the man in front of her. When her gaze swept over Jiang Huaixu, he lowered his eyes and remained silent.
However, Sheng Tingchen seemed completely at ease, without noticing anything amiss.
"Sheng Tingchen!"
Rong Shu lowered her voice, her tone carrying a warning, her expression extremely unpleasant.
Sheng Tingchen released the woman's ankle, looked up at her, and said, "Don't wear such high heels in the future. You should have finished your work for today. I'll have the driver take you home to rest."
Rong Shu kept a sullen face, turned her head away, and did not speak.
Sheng Tingchen stood up. "Then let's go back together after this is over."
At this time.
The staff member brought over the purchased flat shoes, and upon approaching them, it was immediately clear that something was amiss. Facing three men with increasingly strong auras, the staff member felt an inexplicable pressure.
She walked to Jiang Huaixu's side, respectfully handed him the bag, and said, "Mr. Jiang, the shoes have been bought."
Jiang Huaixu reached out and took it, then thanked him.
"You're welcome."
Jiang Huaixu took the shoebox out of the bag, opened it, and took out the flat shoes inside, which were a pair of extremely soft lambskin shoes.
"Try it on."
Rong Shu had already composed herself and took the shoes with both hands.
Jiang Huaixu placed her high heels, which she had taken off, into a shoebox, then put them in a bag. Seeing that she had put the shoes back on, he asked, "Do they fit?"
Rong Shu smiled and nodded, saying, "That's suitable."
Sheng Tingchen watched the two of them in silence.
Su Qingzhi turned to Sheng Tingchen and said, "Tingchen, come here for a moment."
Sheng Tingchen withdrew his gaze and looked at Su Qingzhi.
Then the two turned and left.
"Did you come from the airport?" Su Qingzhi asked.
Sheng Tingchen hummed in agreement.
After dropping Meimei off at home, he came straight here.
Su Qingzhi stopped and glanced at the man, saying, "Your behavior is only suitable for two loving couples; otherwise, it will only make the other person feel uncomfortable."
Sheng Tingchen's thin lips curved slightly. He reached for the wine glass beside him, tilted his head back, took a sip, and said, "Isn't it appropriate for a husband and wife to be together?"
Su Qingzhi withdrew his gaze and looked elsewhere, and he did not respond again.
The air fell silent for two seconds.
Sheng Tingchen's fingers traced the surface of his wine glass, gently swirling them as his deep gaze fell upon the swirling liquid. He asked, "Planning to collaborate with Jiang Huaixu?"
Su Qingzhi said calmly, "If a suitable opportunity arises, cooperation is not out of the question."
Sheng Tingchen took another sip of wine, looked up into the distance, and said in an emotionless tone, "Cooperation isn't out of the question."
The words fell.
The two fell silent again, so silent that even the aura around them became exceptionally low.
Jiang Huaixu was chatting with someone.
Lu Xue found Rong Shu and said, "Today I witnessed your abilities firsthand, senior. Your insights were refreshing, and you were able to handle so many important figures with ease. This is something that not everyone can do. I really admire you. I should learn more from you in the future."
Rong Shu looked at her, smiled calmly, and said, "I am somewhat surprised that you would utter the word 'admiration'."
Lu Xue does possess a level of forbearance and composure that other rich second-generation individuals lack, but this only amplifies her inherent arrogance and self-importance.
Previously in the United States.
While Lu Xue was still in school, she debated and judged the journals she had published, which garnered considerable support.
Of course, she had already graduated by then, so it didn't have a big impact on her and she didn't care at all.
Even after that, we only met occasionally.
They don't talk much either.
How could Rong Shu not hear the hidden meaning in what she was saying?
Lu Xue smiled faintly, "I hope that one day I can be as excellent as you, senior."
Rong Shu smiled, but her eyes didn't reach her eyes. She said, "Then I wish you all the best in your promotion."
"..."
The dinner lasted until 9 p.m.
The guests gradually left their seats.
Sheng Tingchen found Rong Shu and said, "Let's go back, Meimei is still waiting for us."
Rong Shu looked at him, paused for a moment, and said calmly, "I'll go tell President Hu."
Sheng Tingchen hummed in agreement.
Rong Shu went to say goodbye to President Hu.
Today, President Hu realized that Sheng Tingchen definitely had special feelings for Rong Shu. He had certainly seen how outstanding women in this circle could cause men to fight over them.
Only when she can make the top figures in this circle lower themselves for her can she truly demonstrate her skill.
You really can't tell on a normal day.
She was one of the most talked-about figures at the entire event today.
