Chapter 16

h word carefully chosen, both affectionate and cautious."What's the problem" Song Lin seemed to be taking a matter-of-fact approach."It's fine, I've already solved it.""Hmm."Song Lin put down his phon...Shen Yian's face reddened even more. He stepped forward and covered the robot's mouth with his hand, but it was useless. It had already started reading about what posture to use for going to the toilet.

That's so embarrassing.

Song Lin looked at Shen Yi'an's flustered appearance and felt an inexplicable urge to laugh.

Its player is in the back of its head, you're covering the wrong spot.

"..."

Please note that I have removed the > tags as requested. Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Shen Yian wanted to cry but had no tears, wanting to cover himself. With so many people watching, he felt like he was going to be humiliated to death.

Who knew, the next second Song Lin pulled her behind him.

Song Lin tapped a few times on its screen, and in an instant, the screen transformed into a myriad of characters. His slender fingers danced across the surface, and the robot blinked its eyes.

Hello, is there anything I can help you with

"No."

Shen Yian shook her head resolutely. She dared not offer help again.

Song Lin waved his hand, and the robot turned and walked away.

He said calmly, "The program malfunctioned, which is why it led you astray. It's not your fault."

Shen Yian was startled and lowered his head slightly: "Thank you."

Immediately, she obediently shut her mouth because all the awkward moments of her life had been encountered by Song Lin.

But to her surprise, Song Lin didn't have a gloating expression on his face.

This made her think of Gu Cheng. They had been together for three years, and sometimes she would make mistakes, but Gu Cheng always laughed at her misfortune every time.

"Hahaha, look at you, that's so embarrassing! Besides me, who else could stand you"

In my memory, Gu Cheng had never helped her solve any awkward situations like Song Lin did. Instead, it was the after-the-fact advice that made her cautious.

Her eyes used to be really bad.

Shen Yanan was inwardly indignant, but she was soon drawn by the lively booths ahead.

She walked quickly over and stood shoulder to shoulder with Song Lin under the stage, listening to the host's definition and musings on technology.

At this moment, Shen Yian's heart began to surge with excitement.

She eagerly opened her notebook and was surprised to find that the mistakes on it had been corrected, and some of the places she was puzzled about also had complete answers written.

She only ever gave her notebook to... Song Lin.

She turned her head to look at Song Lin beside her: "Mr. Song, thank you."

Because there were too many people around, Song Lin didn't hear clearly and leaned down slightly.

What

"I said... uh..."

Shen Yian raised his notebook, just about to say thank you, but was pushed by the crowd, his lips pressed against Song Lin's face... through the notebook.

Song Lin's eyebrows twitched, seemingly not expecting this to happen either.

Shen Yian blinked, his nose filled with the scent of ink and paint along with Song Lin's cold, sharp tobacco aroma. His heart pounded in his chest involuntarily.

Only when applause reached her ears did she return to her senses, quickly turning around.

"Thank you, no, sorry."

"Hmm." Song Lin clenched his fists, suppressing a few odd feelings.

Shen Yi'an tightly gripped his notepad and stole a glance at Song Lin. He looked as aloof and indifferent as ever, seeming not to mind it at all.

Just as she secretly let out a sigh of relief, Song Lin's cold voice sounded beside her.

"Your notebook has a lot of errors, it's obvious this is too foreign for you here. Why are you still coming You don't have to do this at all."

After all, she has already fawned over Mr. Li.

Hearing this, Shen Yian couldn't help but raise his head and look at him.

Mr. Song, did you understand so much from the beginning

"About that." Song Lin said lightly.

“As I expected, intelligent people like him aren’t from the same world as me. She pursed her lips and continued, “Mr. Song, there aren’t that many smart people in the world. Ordinary people like us can only make progress through hard work and effort. Do you think, on such a hot day, so many people would willingly run around outside It’s not because they want to, it’s because they have to. So no matter what difficulties I encounter at work, I don’t have a way out. I can only grit my teeth and figure it out because I don’t want to give up.”

After finishing, Shen Yian smiled at Song Lin.

A smile crept into Song Lin's shallow gaze, but he said nothing.

Shen Yi'an didn't want to make a fool of himself either. He lowered his head and continued taking notes, looking for so-called professional breakthroughs.

"You made a mistake." Song Lin reminded in a deep voice.

"Oh." Shen Yian lowered his head to correct it, suddenly inexplicably feeling that getting along with Song Lin this way was quite pleasant.

Afterward, the two of them visited several more exhibition halls. When Shen Yi'an only half understood, Song Lin would casually say a few words, not many but very helpful.

According to the professional knowledge he had heard, Shen Yian sketched in his notebook and even came up with a rough outline for an opening ceremony.

It has to be said, this trip wasn't in vain. At least it gave her a clear direction.

At this time, Song Lin received a phone call.

"Okay, I'm coming."

Given his serious expression, it must be about work.

Shen Yian politely said, "Mr. Song, if you have something to do, please go ahead. I should return to the company."

Song Lin nodded and turned to leave.

Shen Yian had already grown accustomed to his cold personality, and he walked towards the door nonchalantly.

As soon as I stepped out, I was bumped by two men in suits. My notebook fell to the ground.

She quickly picked up her notebook, and the two of them actually didn't apologize as they walked in on their own.

"Is Ian here"

"Yes, I heard they have already made a sweep of the area."

"Quick, quick, I have to meet this big shot today."

Ian!

The boss of Weiyitech!

Shen Yian also didn't have time to apologize, turned around and followed the two.

Ahead, a group of people were chasing someone toward the side door.

She quickened her pace, and while running, she saw a face that seemed somewhat familiar. Could it be Song Lin

Shen Yian quickened her pace. Just as she was about to make out the face in the crowd, a pair of pointed high heels blocked her path.

"Yi An, what a coincidence!"

It's actually Wang Ruqi, how is she here

Wang Ruqi shook her hair and said proudly, "I'm here to see Wei Yi, the boss."

Shen Yian was stunned. "Have you seen it"

Wang Ruoqi smiled and shook her phone: "I not only met him, but also exchanged phone numbers. He was very satisfied with me and said he wanted to treat me to a meal next time. How about you Did you come to meet him too"

"...."

Shen Yian furrowed his brows and pursed his lips.

Wang Ruqi raised her hand and patted her shoulder, no longer pretending.

"Yi An, I told you a long time ago not to waste your effort. This collaboration and the deputy director position are mine for the taking."

"Oh, by the way, Wei Yi, the boss, has already gotten in the car to catch his flight. You probably won't be able to catch up."

After finishing her words, Wang Ruqi left in high heels.

Shen Yian followed the direction of the side door, and sure enough, those who had chased after him just now all returned empty-handed.

She clenched her phone tightly, unwilling to let go. Just then, she saw Wang Ruqi had posted a new update on her Moments.

"It's a shame we didn't meet sooner. Thank you for the appreciation."

The picture is of a man's back.

It seems Wang Ruqi really met Ian, who is said to be hard to see.

Shen Yian returned to the company dejectedly. As soon as he entered the office, he saw Zhou Zong walk excitedly to Wang Ruoqi's face.

"Ruqi, well done! You actually finished with Weiyi Boss so quickly."

Colleagues clapped enthusiastically, their eyes filled with envy as they looked at Wang Ruoqi.

"Thank you everyone, please rest assured, I will work harder for the company in the future." Wang Ruoqi slightly raised her head, proud and smug.

This scene feels very much like her job fair.

Shen Yian didn't want to pay attention, wanting to go back to his own workstation from the side, but Wang Ruqi still saw him.

Wang Ruqi shouted, "Yi'an, did you catch up to Wei Yi's car"

Once these words were spoken, everyone's gaze towards Shen Yian transformed into one of disdain and mockery.ces.But she was afraid of encountering the same hot situation as last night, so she quickly lowered her head and handed a bowl of millet porridge to Song Lin."Have breakfast. The pan-fried wontons are...
