She felt that if Zhuang Yan hadn't snatched her position, she would still be the secretary of Tao Yuan, who was inferior to only one person in the company but surpassed ten thousand people.

Therefore, she hates Zhuang Yan more and more day by day, wishing that he would be hit by a car when he went out, choked when drinking water, and choked when eating.

Unfortunately, none of her wishes came true. Instead, she choked while drinking water.

Zhuang Yan didn't care what Lin Qian thought, he and Tao Yuan had already discussed how to send Lin Qian away.

At present, the affair between Lin Qian and Tao Zhiyi has been exposed, and Lin Qian regards herself as Tao Zhiyi's girlfriend in the company.

Everyone hated her but didn't dare to offend her. Except when there was work to do, everyone ignored her, which made Lin Qian feel very uncomfortable.

I have been working at Dow for so long, and there has never been a time like now when going to work feels like a torture.

No matter what Lin Qian thought, the days passed day by day.

At the end of December, Tao Yuan went on a business trip, and Fan Jia went with him.

Unless something unexpected happens, this will be Fan Jia's last business trip with Tao Yuan.

Because Zhuang Yan went to get his driver's license, which conflicted with his business trip, he couldn't go with him this time. After getting his driver's license, Tao Yuan planned to take Zhuang Yan with him on future business trips.

On the second day of Tao Yuan's business trip, Zhuang Yan successfully obtained his driver's license.

Taking advantage of his free time, he planned to pick Zhuang Ke home for a meal after get off work. Tomorrow he would pick up Tao Yuan, and it would be New Year's Day in two days.

Of course, he deliberately chose today to pick up Zhuang Ke.

Because Zhuang Ke and Shen Ce had made an appointment to have dinner together tonight, he planned to block people.

When Zhuang Yan drove to the entrance of the university, he happened to see Zhuang Ke standing next to a car.

It’s the same silver-gray car as last time.

Zhuang Ke hesitated for a while and got into the car. The car drove away, and Zhuang Yan followed him in the car.

Zhuang Yan followed the car to the entrance of a restaurant. The car stopped, and so did Zhuang Yan.

Since Zhuang Ke didn't know yet that Zhuang Yan had a driver's license, he naturally didn't know that Zhuang Yan was following them.

Shen Ce didn't notice either. Zhuang Yan was not close or far behind. Who would have thought that he was following him.

After seeing Shen Ce and Zhuang Ke entering the restaurant, Zhuang Yan waited outside for a while before getting out of the car and entering the restaurant at the right time.

Zhuang Ke didn't know that his brother had also come in after they entered the restaurant. He only had eyes for the man in front of him.

He and Shen Ce have known each other for half a year. Shen Ce is mature and personable. Zhuang Ke is not sure what Shen Ce thinks of him. He only knows that Shen Ce is very good to him, and he does have thoughts about Shen Ce.

But he is not worthy of Shen Ce.

If his family conditions were a little better, he could be more confident in front of Shen Ce, and he could be bolder in pursuing Shen Ce.

It wouldn't be like now, where he could only hide his love for Shen Ce every time he saw Shen Ce.

He was afraid that if he couldn't hide it well, Shen Ce would see his true thoughts.

Shen Ce could see that Zhuang Ke was not in a high mood, and he was obviously fine when he got in the car.

"Xiao Ke, does the food not taste good?"

Zhuang Ke took a look at the dishes in front of him and saw that they were all ordered according to his preferences. How could they not be to his liking? It's just that he has no appetite.

Zhuang Ke forced a smile: "It's delicious, but I don't have much appetite."

He really wanted to tell Shen Ce not to have any contact with him in the future, but he couldn't bear to do so.

Shen Ce was really nice to him.

Shen Ce frowned, his face full of concern: "Are you sick?"

Zhuang Ke didn't know how to answer. Yes, he was sick or mentally ill.

"Keep eating, maybe I'll have an appetite after eating for a while."

As he said that, Zhuang Ke picked up a piece of chicken and ate it slowly.

Shen Ce couldn't see Zhuang Ke's reluctance, but Zhuang Ke's character was that he kept everything in his heart. Even if Zhuang Ke didn't tell him, he wouldn't be able to guess it in many cases.

"Xiao Ke, you..."

Shen Ce suddenly fell silent because he saw Zhuang Yan walking in.

Zhuang Ke was also surprised why Shen Ce didn't say anything. He followed Shen Ce's gaze and looked up. He immediately put down his chopsticks and stood up, unconsciously grabbing his clothes with both hands, like a child who had done something wrong.

"Brother, you, why are you here?"

Zhuang Yan said quietly: "Because I wanted to pick up my brother and go home for dinner, but I saw him getting into another man's car."

Zhuang Ke's cheeks were red, as if he was struck by Zhuang Yan, and he hurriedly explained: "I don't know, you didn't call me."

"I sent you a message," solemnly said.

Zhuang Ke quickly took out his cell phone to look at it. Sure enough, Zhuang Yan sent him a message before he got in Shen Ce's car, but he never read it.

At that time, he had been debating whether or not to go to dinner with Shen Ce, and he didn't pay that much attention at all.

"Brother, I'm sorry."

Shen Ce felt sorry for Zhuang Ke's cautious behavior in front of Zhuang Yan. He stood up and explained, "I invited Xiao Ke to go out to dinner together. Don't blame him."

Zhuang Yan: "How could I blame him? It's normal to go out to eat with friends. I just don't know when Xiao Ke made a friend like Mr. Shen, so I came to see him."

Shen Ce asked back: "Do you know me?"

Zhuang Yan pushed Zhuang Ke to sit down, and then motioned for Zhuang Ke to sit a little further inside. He sat next to Zhuang Ke.

Upon seeing this, Shen Ce wanted to ask the waiter to bring more bowls and chopsticks, but Zhuang Yan stopped him.

"No, I just came to take a look."

He did it on purpose, otherwise when would he "know" that Shen Ce and Zhuang Ke knew each other?

Zhuang Yan took the initiative to reach out to Shen Ce: "Hello, Mr. Shen, I am Mr. Tao's secretary. Zhuang Yan, I have seen your company's information in the company, and I am also Xiao Ke's brother."

Zhuang Yan explained clearly in a few words why he knew about Shen Ce.

Zhuang Ke was surprised. He didn't expect that his brother would become Tao Yuan's secretary. He was obviously a clerk in the finance office.

Seeing that Zhuang Yan was Tao Yuan's secretary and Zhuang Ke's brother, Shen Ce gave Zhuang Yan face and stretched out his hand to shake Zhuang Yan's hand.

"Hello, I brought Xiao Ke out for no other reason than to have a meal."

Zhuang Yan stared at Shen Ce, his calm eyes seeming to see through Shen Ce's thoughts.

"I hope."

Zhuang Ke looked at Zhuang Yan in surprise, what did he mean? Could it be that Zhuang Yan saw something?

After Zhuang Yan finished speaking, he stood up and said, "I just came over to take a look. I won't delay your meal. I'm going home for dinner. Goodbye."

After Shen Ce nodded, Zhuang Yan left. He didn't look at Zhuang Ke, which meant that he had no intention of taking Zhuang Ke away at all. This also made both Shen Ce and Zhuang Ke breathe a sigh of relief.

Shen Ce saw Zhuang Ke staring at Zhuang Yan's leaving figure in a daze: "I'm young, do you want to go home?"

Zhuang Ke shook his head and replied in a low voice: "It's not good for me to eat here and leave you halfway."

Shen Ce smiled tenderly and picked up the chopsticks again to pick up Zhuang Ke's food.

Zhuang Yan came out of the restaurant and drove directly home.

When he got home, the food was ready and Zhuang Chengwen and Zheng Xin were waiting for him.

The couple told him that Zhuang Ke couldn't come back for dinner because of something. Zhuang Yan only said "I know" and didn't say that he had already gone to see Zhuang Ke.
