Free Web NovelChapter 1345: Chapter 1221: Second Uncle, Did You Do That on Purpose?
When Song Yansheng took Gu Zheng to the door, he didn’t see Shi Nuan and Ye Mingmei. Aunt Hui said the two were upstairs.
She had already asked someone to send up tea and snacks.
Song Yansheng acknowledged and went upstairs. He initially thought they were in the bedroom, but when he checked there, he didn’t find them.
After thinking for a moment, he went to the study, not expecting that as soon as he reached the study door, he heard laughter.
The laughter came from Shi Nuan.
Song Yansheng’s lips curved into a faint smile involuntarily.
Indeed, Ye Mingmei’s arrival could improve the little girl’s mood.
In that case, he didn’t want to disturb them. However, it was a bit troublesome that the two girls had taken over his study.
Thinking for a moment, he walked back while picking up his phone to call Chi Rui.
Poor Chi Rui, who should have had a relaxing weekend, was suddenly summoned by the big boss to deliver documents.
It’s really quite tough.
Afterward, Song Yansheng waited downstairs for Chi Rui to arrive. Chi Rui was quick, and in about an hour, he had arrived at the Song Mansion.
Seeing his panting appearance, it was clear he hadn’t wasted a single quarter-hour.
Chi Rui’s current residence was not far from the TK Group, about a ten-minute drive away.
It was a sixty to seventy square meter single apartment, procured by Song Yansheng when Chi Rui first came to T City with him.
At that time, when TK Group was just established, Song Yansheng couldn’t offer much to Chi Rui. Later on, as the company developed, Song Yansheng provided Chi Rui with a small villa in the suburbs.
But Chi Rui never moved there, saying he was used to his life in the small apartment. Moving to the villa, not only was it ten minutes further, but living in such a big house alone was also uncomfortable.
Song Yansheng didn’t force the issue, thinking the villa would be suitable for when Chi Rui got married in the future.
Song Yansheng took the documents Chi Rui handed over, instructed Aunt Hui to pour a glass of water for Chi Rui, and gestured to the sofa, suggesting Chi Rui sit down.
Chi Rui expressed his thanks and sat nearby.
As Song Yansheng started flipping through one of the documents, he casually commented, "Chi Rui, I remember your birthday is in August, which means you’ve turned twenty-eight already!"
Chi Rui nodded, "Yes... twenty-eight!"
Song Yansheng looked up and said, "There have been too many things to deal with lately, and I happened to forget your birthday. That’s my fault..."
Chi Rui quickly shook his head, saying, "No, Mr. Song, please don’t say that... Besides, Secretary Yao already prepared a birthday gift on your behalf. I know you’re very busy, and now that you mention it, I’m actually feeling a bit embarrassed!"
Song Yansheng chuckled, "Secretary Yao is indeed thoughtful. Actually, Secretary Yao is quite a nice person. If she wasn’t taken, you two would actually be a good match!"
These words made Chi Rui feel even sweatier.
"Mr... Mr. Song, that’s not a joke to make. Secretary Yao and I... we’re just friends, colleagues, nothing more!"
"I know!" Song Yansheng glanced at him, continuing to look at the documents while seemingly casually saying, "But even if it’s not Secretary Yao, at your age, you ought to have someone you like. I’ve heard you’re quite popular among the women in the company. So, is there anyone among them you fancy? You can tell me..."
Chi Rui shook his head again, his forehead beading with more sweat.
He originally thought delivering documents on a weekend was already tough, but he didn’t expect to be interrogated by his boss once he arrived.
Would Song Yansheng be introducing him to someone for a forced blind date and marriage next?
Thinking of this, Chi Rui hurriedly said, "Mr. Song, I haven’t met a girl I like yet, even though I’m not young anymore. But fate is hard to explain, just like how Mr. Song is harmoniously with Lady now, I hope to meet a girl who fits my heart, and then live a sweet and simple life..."
Song Yansheng nodded, "That’s true. Emotions are a lifetime matter, indeed, can’t be taken lightly!"
When Song Yansheng said this, it indicated he wouldn’t be matchmaking for him anymore.
Chi Rui breathed a sigh of relief.
Aunt Hui brought over the tea, handed it to Chi Rui, who accepted it, gulping down half a cup.
Aunt Hui quickly refilled his cup, indicating Chi Rui was really thirsty.
Song Yansheng said, "But the fact that you haven’t met a girl you like yet is partly due to fate not arriving yet, and partly related to your personality. I know you’re not a very outgoing person and quite taciturn when alone. This isn’t a good thing. Fate is something you wait for, but more importantly, it’s something you seek out!"
