He picked up his phone and dialed Li Xiao Yue's number.
Li Xiao Yue's voice came from the other end of the phone, with a hint of fatigue and helplessness: "Hey, Shen Lei, what's up?"
Shen Lei asked softly, "You forgot, we agreed to eat together, where are you now?"
Li Xiao Yue chuckled bitterly on the other end of the phone: "I was so tired, I forgot about it.
We're still at one of the branches, and we haven't finished moving everything yet. It'll probably be a while before we can go eat."
Shen Lei frowned and said, "Why are you still moving things?
Wasn't it supposed to be over by now?"
"Ugh, don't even get me started."
Li Xiao Yue sighed, "I thought we'd be done today, but something unexpected happened, and now there's a whole bunch of boxes left to move."
"I'll come pick you up now."
Shen Lei said, "Let's eat together later, I'll help you move."
"Okay, thank you, Lei Ge, you're so good to me."
Li Xiao Yue said sweetly.
Shen Lei hung up the phone, started his Mercedes-Benz SUV, and headed towards the branch where Li Xiao Yue was.
Along the way, he thought about Li Xiao Yue's tired figure and couldn't help but feel a little heartache.
Soon, Shen Lei arrived at the branch's entrance.
He saw Li Xiao Yue and Na Wei working hard with the workers to move boxes.
Li Xiao Yue was sweating profusely.
Shen Lei quickly grabbed some tissues and wiped her sweat.
Li Xiao Yue was delighted to be wiped down by Shen Lei.
She could clearly feel his pampering towards her.
Na Wei was drenched in sweat, his clothes were already soaked, obviously exhausted.
Shen Lei walked over, patted Na Wei on the shoulder and said, "Brother-in-law, you've been working hard."
Na Wei was a little ashamed to see Shen Lei coming over.
"Shen Lei, I'm so sorry.
I shouldn't have listened to your advice. Qin Feng, that bastard, really got me good."
Shen Lei looked at Na Wei's sweaty face and sighed, "Brother-in-law, Qin Feng and his sister will continue to make things difficult for you, and continue to give you the cold shoulder.
Your good days are still ahead.
I advise you to be prepared, plan ahead and figure out what you want to do in the future."
Na Wei was still clinging to the hope that Qin Feng and his sister wouldn't do anything: "Impossible, right?
I'm a veteran of the company, I've been here since the beginning.
All these years, I may not have had any merit, but I've put in the work. They won't kick me out, will they?"
Shen Lei chuckled coldly: "Brother-in-law, their Series A financing failed, the company is increasingly struggling.
Even if they don't kick you out, do you think you'll have any prospects at this company?"
Na Wei sighed: "But I don't know what else to do."
Shen Lei was about to say that he was planning to start an investment company, and have Na Wei run it, his sister Shen Lin head the human resources department, and Li Xiao Yue take charge of marketing.
But this idea was not yet fully mature, so Shen Lei didn't say anything more.
Na Wei saw Li Xiao Yue constantly flirting with Shen Lei, and sighed, "Xiao Yue, you and Shen Lei go first, I'll be done soon."
Li Xiao Yue didn't stand on ceremony with Na Wei, and followed Shen Lei, getting into his Mercedes-Benz SUV and speeding away.
As soon as she got in the car, Li Xiao Yue looked at Shen Lei excitedly: "Shen Lei Ge, on the way back, can you drive fast again?
I want to experience that adrenaline rush again."
Shen Lei gave Li Xiao Yue a doting smile, "I'll satisfy you right now, fasten your seatbelt first."
Li Xiao Yue smiled sweetly, "Lei Ge, will you fasten it for me?"
Shen Lei turned around and fastened Li Xiao Yue's seatbelt.
Shen Lei was about to sit back down, but he suddenly felt his cheek become cold and wet.
It turned out that Li Xiao Yue, while Shen Lei was fastening her seatbelt, had kissed him on the cheek.
Shen Lei pretended to be disgusted and wiped the lipstick off his face, "You're so insincere, why did you kiss my cheek?"
Li Xiao Yue giggled, laughing brightly, her beauty captivating.
Shen Lei's heart stirred. The reason Li Xiao Yue hadn't kissed his lips was likely because she hadn't completely forgotten her ex-boyfriend Na Jun.
He figured he'd need to find out where Na Jun's blind date was, bring Li Xiao Yue to see it, and make her completely disappointed in Na Jun.
On the way to the restaurant, Shen Lei stomped on the gas pedal, the Mercedes-Benz SUV speeding down the road.
Li Xiao Yue sat in the passenger seat, feeling the speed and excitement rushing towards her, as if she were going to be swept away by the force.
Her heart raced as the speed increased, her adrenaline surged, and she couldn't help but scream.
"Wow! This is so exciting!" Li Xiao Yue shouted excitedly, her eyes shining with excitement.
Shen Lei turned his head and looked at her, a smile curling on his lips.
He loved seeing Li Xiao Yue so excited.
He continued to accelerate, letting the car race down the road.
At the peak of her excitement, Li Xiao Yue couldn't help but want to hug Shen Lei's neck and kiss him.
She looked at Shen Lei's profile, his deep eyes and prominent nose made her heart race, as if it were about to jump out of her chest.
She swallowed, gathering her courage, slowly approaching Shen Lei.
However, at this moment, Shen Lei had already stopped the car steadily in front of the restaurant.
Li Xiao Yue was startled, caught off guard.
She had originally wanted to take this opportunity to go further with Shen Lei, but he had stopped the car before she could.
Shen Lei unbuckled his seatbelt and got out of the car.
Li Xiao Yue sat in the car, looking at his back, a sense of inexplicable loss surged through her heart.
The neck she had wanted to hug was now empty.
Li Xiao Yue felt a little disappointed, but her urge to kiss Shen Lei became even stronger…
