Say it's only once

For some reason today, Chi Jin left early, but was still stuck on the road.

When I hurried to the hotel, I was ten minutes later than the estimated time.

"this way please."

The waiter showed her the way.

The hotel is in a new Chinese style, with a quiet environment. After bypassing the rockery and corridors, the waiter opened the door to a wooden door of a box.

Chi Jin nodded slightly, and only saw Mr. Shen and another young man when he went in.

"Sorry for being late, there is a traffic jam on the road." She explained.

From the moment she entered the door, a trace of surprise flashed across Shen Cheng's eyes.

Chi Jin has had a lot of social engagements in recent years, and he is used to it, so he stretched out his hand before sitting down: "Hello, I am Chi Jin, who is in charge of the housing department of Landi."

Shen Cheng stood up and shook hands with her: "Hello, I'm Shen Cheng."

"Don't be cautious, today is just a casual meal and a chat." Shen Ruijun smiled and raised his hand to signal the two to sit down.

Generally speaking, entertainment is sometimes for talking about things, and sometimes it is just to get together to chat casually to enhance feelings, and it is also for the convenience of talking about things in the future.

Chi Jin didn't think much and sat down.

The box is not big, the design is very Zen, and there is a sandalwood hollow screen in the corner of the room.

There was a square wooden dining table in the middle, and Shen Ruijun and Shen Cheng were sitting opposite each other, so she chose a seat at random, and it was right next to Shen Ruijun and Shen Cheng.

Shen Ruijun pressed the bell to call the waiter: "I can order food, please come in."

The waiter came in holding the tablet, and Shen Ruijun motioned to hand it to Chi Jin.

Chi Jin was a little surprised. Here today, she thought that the guest was Shen Cheng. Logically speaking, she should hand it over to Shen Cheng to let him choose first.

Shen Ruijun saw her surprise, and said warmly, "Ah Cheng is not picky, just watch."

Cheng.

Chi Jin was even more surprised by this title, feeling weird in his heart.

Without saying anything, he ordered a few dishes according to Mr. Shen's taste, and added some special recommendations marked on the tablet.

After the waiter went out holding the tablet, the box returned to silence.

The mobile phone at hand turned on and dinged several times. Chi Jin turned on the silent mode, raised his head and said with a smile, "I didn't ask just now, what did Mr. Shen do?"

"I work in a law firm." Shen Cheng passed a business card from Shanruliu.

Chi Jin took the business card and glanced at it. It was the red circle firm, one of the big firms of the law firm, engaged in non-litigation business.

Similarly, she also handed a

business card.

Although Landi has its own legal team, sometimes it consults outside law firms when encountering difficult matters.

It was normal for Shen Ruijun to introduce her to a partner of the Red Circle firm.

This year, Shen Cheng's Red Circle firm just took over a well-known business dispute case in the country, so Chi Jin chatted with him on this topic.

"By the way, Xiaochi, you don't know that Ah Cheng also studied in California as an undergraduate, just like you." In the middle, Shen Ruijun suddenly interjected.

Why do you say this suddenly?

After Chi Jin was slightly startled, he smiled: "It's a coincidence, I'm in Berkeley."

Shen Cheng said: "I was at Stanford. I didn't participate in many international student activities back then, maybe I would have met Ms. Chi earlier."

Chi Jin took a sip of tea: "I rarely participate."

Seeing that their topic changed from business to life, Shen Ruijun took a sip of tea with satisfaction.

Shen Cheng is an outstanding member of the younger generation of the Shen family, if not, she would not have introduced it to Chi Jin.Shen Ruijun has selfish intentions and regrets. If she has a son who takes over the company and marries Chi Jin, that would be the best.

She naturally joined the conversation between the two, and then, Shen Cheng called her "auntie".

Chi Jin: "?"

Shen Cheng's attitude was natural, and Shen Ruijun smiled lightly at Chi Jin, without saying anything.

"..."

Chi Jin finally understood the weirdness of today's social gatherings. In the past, even if it was a relationship-related social gathering, everyone was talking about enhancing their relationship, and the actual topic would always shift from life to work.

Tonight, Mr. Shen was uncharacteristically taking the lead in shifting the topic from business to life, as if...deliberately letting the two of them know each other better.

Think about it again not long ago, Mr. Shen mentioned in the office whether working overtime for too long would affect her finding a partner.

Chi Jin was a little helpless, he didn't expect that Mr. Shen was thinking about this at the time.

Shen Cheng is not stupid, he has already seen from Chi Jin's astonishment and Shen Ruijun's expression - probably, Miss Chi didn't know about this blind date.

It was a bit embarrassing for a moment, he thought that they knew each other well, and it turned out that they were just hosting a social dinner.

During the silence of the three of them, the door of the box opened suddenly, and two waiters came in and began to serve the food.

Chi Jin picked up the tea, blowing the hot air with downcast eyes.

"Wow, Mr. Shen, I finally found you!"

A beautiful face with a bright smile poked in from the door, and people walked in naturally.

"……cough."

池

Today, he was almost choked by the tea in his mouth, but because Mr. Shen was there, he tried his best to suppress it, coughed a little, and his face turned slightly red.

"Be careful." A napkin was handed over to the side.

Chi Jin took it, wiped the tea on his lips, his eyes met Ji Ran inadvertently, his heartbeat suddenly accelerated with his lowered eyes——

She is panicking.

What are you panicking about?

Shen Ruijun and Shen Cheng were also not much better.

Although it was Shen Cheng who called him, the phrase "Boss Shen" stunned him as soon as he opened his mouth, and he passively swallowed the words he wanted to say hello to.

Several years ago, Ji Ran and Shen Ruijun had an ugly quarrel, and everyone in the family knew about it.Last year, somehow Ji Ran returned to work in the blue land, saying that Ji Ran started from the grassroots level, and did not disclose the relationship between the two.

Miss Chi was here, out of caution, he didn't speak rashly.

There was only a seat opposite to Chi Jin left at the square table, Ji Ran naturally pulled out the chair, but didn't sit down.

"Assistant Jiang asked me to deliver a document to Mr. Shen." She took out a stack from her bag and placed it in front of Shen Ruijun, smiling brightly and obediently: "I left in a hurry and didn't eat, so I'll leave here for a bite to eat." , Is it all right, Mr. Shen?"

Nonsense!

Shen Ruijun didn't even look at the documents, how could Jiang Zhongwei send someone to deliver the documents without saying hello to her, and still looking for Ji Ran?

She just thought that some nerve in her was wrong and she was going crazy again.

But right now, Shen Cheng is here, Chi Jin is here, Shen Ruijun absolutely can't quarrel with her on the spot, and his anger is replaced by a smile: "Sit down."

"Thank you Mr. Shen." Ji Ran sat down.

Chi Jin was on the opposite side, and was distracted by the scene in front of him.

In the past, I only thought that Ji Ran's character was reckless and impulsive, but now I deeply realize that she is really bold.

At this moment, Zhang Fang's words automatically floated in his mind: "Is this the courage of post-00s? I am really convinced now."

Chi Jin: "..."

She took it too.

In just a few minutes, half of the dishes were served, and no one moved their chopsticks.

Ji Ran picked up the chopsticks and washed it with tea, Chi Jin's mind was buzzing, staring at her slightly but firmly shook his head.

Ji Ran pouted his lower lips slightly, and held the chopsticks and pestered them in the blank porcelain bowl.

Shen Cheng originally thought that since Ji Ran could go to Landi, the relationship between mother and daughter had improved.

I just realized today that this is not the case at all.

Shen Ruijun picked up the chopsticks: "After talking for a long time, I'm already hungry, let's eat first."

Before Ji Ran came, the atmosphere was not so natural, but this

After a while, the stiffness and embarrassment could be felt in the air.

Chi Jin didn't have much appetite. When he lowered his head to eat and raised his head to pick up vegetables, he glanced at the opposite side from the corner of his eye. Every time he could meet Ji Ran's gaze, he lowered his gaze and stopped looking up.

Shen Ruijun was also silent.

After being quiet for a while, Ji Ran looked at Shen Cheng next to him: "May I ask who you are? You're not from our company, I don't think I've seen you before."

Shen Cheng was drinking soup, but choked unexpectedly, his good upbringing controlled his image, so he didn't choke on the spot.

Press the corners of your lips with a tissue.

He raised his eyes and glanced at Ji Ran who was smiling at him. He didn't understand his cousin's brain circuit at all, but seeing that Shen Ruijun didn't make a sound the whole time, and didn't reveal the relationship between the two, he could only bite the bullet and cooperate with the performance of the two mothers and daughters.

"...I'm a lawyer, Shen Cheng."

Ji Ran said, "Oh, I thought you were Mr. Chi's boyfriend."

One sentence made Chi Jin and Shen Cheng raise their heads at the same time, Shen Cheng was a little embarrassed, Chi Jin's face turned red and then pale, he hesitated to speak.

Shen Ruijun couldn't stand it anymore. She wanted to act, so she accompanied the act, showing the coercion of Mr. Shen and said: "What should be said and what should not be said when socializing, hasn't the team leader who led you taught me?"

"Mr. Shen, it's my problem." Chi Jin suddenly said, "The work of the newcomers for the past six months has been concentrated on the project, and they haven't taken them to a social meeting yet."

"It's not your problem, isn't this basic?" Shen Ruijun said aggressively: "If the employees of Landi have to be taught everything, the company is probably like this, so why talk about development?"

Ji Ran suddenly raised his eyes and met her gaze.

There is really no upper limit to the courage of post-00s.

Chi Jin bit his lip, quick witted, and lightly touched Ji Ran with his foot under the table.

It's a very simple and effortless movement, but the back is sweating thinly. In the elevator in the community on the first day of the Lunar New Year, she taught Ji Ran to be so bold and unrestrained, and in a blink of an eye, she did the same.

But right now, there was nothing she could do, so she touched her feet jerky and carefully.

Ji Ran and Shen Ruijun were still looking at each other, and Chi Jin went to touch each other again.

"...I'll go back and do a good job of self-criticism, Mr. Shen taught me the right thing." Ji Ran replied stiffly, with a look of reluctance.

Shen Ruijun smiled: "Let's eat, the food is cold."

Chi Jin breathed a sigh of relief, and looked up at Ji Ran, who pouted at her.

It's all like this, it's not right

thing.

Chi Jin was very angry, but also relieved, at least he listened to persuasion, and did not directly confront Boss Shen.

Then the phone rang, and Chi Jin picked it up and heard that the other end was a more important report from Linshi, so he whispered "Pick up a call" and left the box.

The person went out with the front foot, and when the door closed with the back foot, Shen Ruijun put down the chopsticks: "What kind of crazy are you going today?"

"Leave me alone?"

Ji Ran also put down his chopsticks, and leaned back in his chair: "Why don't you continue playing the role of president?"

"Chi Jin is here!" Shen Ruijun is usually calm when things happen, but when he meets his daughter, his mood is unstable: "I haven't said you yet, you called me Mr. Shen first! I introduced someone to your brother, and you came here to do it." What sabotage?"

"Oh, I finally admitted that this is not entertainment, and taught me the truth."

Ji Ran smiled casually, crossed his arms and said, "Don't think that I don't know what you're planning, why didn't you think of introducing it to me, wouldn't it suit the little one in your heart?"

Shen Cheng was in a fog at this moment, as if he was listening to them playing riddles.

Shen Ruijun was even more stunned, and his voice was a little unsteady: "...are you sick? Chi Jin doesn't like women like you, how could I introduce someone to you and push him into the fire pit?!"

Shen Cheng was shocked——

what? !

Cousin actually likes women!
