Chapter 31
When Yu Wan returned home, she called Zhou Xiaoning again. This time, she confirmed several times that it is actually Zhou Xiaoning before she made the call.
The phone rang twice before it was picked up. Yu Wan happily exclaimed, “Ningning, I got promoted!”
Zhou Xiaoning was caught off guard by her outburst. It took her a while to react, “Wow, that’s great! Congratulations!”
“Thank you! I will treat you to a meal sometime!”
“I definitely don’t have time on May Day but I’ll be free after May!”
“Okay!” Yu Wan changed shoes and walked into her bedroom, “President Wei gave me three days off, so if you have time, contact me.”
“No problem. I want to think about what to eat first!” Zhou Xiaoning lowered her voice and mysteriously asked, “What is your commission for Hu Jiao’s wedding? I heard they spent some ten million dollars on the wedding. Even if you only take 1% of it, it is still around hundred thousand!”
“Haha.” Yu Wan laughed in embarrassment, feeling a little giddy, “I have made a little profit this time. But it cost me a lot of stress and work this past half-year. My hair even started falling off!”
“Haha, it’s fine. You can buy the most expensive hair with the money you earned.”
“…..” Yu Wan pouted, “Miss Hu also gifted me a designer bag.”
“Damn.” Zhou Xiaoning couldn’t help but curse, “Why don’t my clients ever give me gifts! It doesn’t even have to be name brand!”
“Miss Hu is very spunky.”
“I have decided. I don’t care what I want to eat, as long as it is the most expensive in A City!”
“Okay. It’s up to you.”
Zhou Xiaoning told her she would look up the most expensive restaurant in A City first and send it to her later. Yu Wan boldly accepted her proposition and then began her three-day vacation at home.
Yu Wan’s break was particularly environmentally friendly, consisting of only sleeping and eating for the first two days. The carbon dioxide emission was even less than before. On the third day, she finally broke out of the routine and started to go online. Weibo has been quite calm for the past two days. There were no fights between fandoms nor was there any gossip. After looking for a while, she reposted a giveaway post.
She followed Li Shen on Weibo but what she doesn’t know is that he is also following her. Li Shen found her account through Shaohua Wedding’s official profile. After he found it, he chose to follow her secretly. It is not because he was afraid that she would know, but that his fans would find out and attack her.
The giveaway Yu Wan posted is from a marketing account for lipsticks. The lucky winner will get all the lipsticks she listed.
There are a hundred in total. Most of them are popular colors from various brands.
Li Shen thought for a while. He saved the picture in the post and sent it to Xiao Dong, “Can you help me buy all these lipsticks."
Xiao Dong: Σ(⊙▽⊙"a
Xiao Dong: Shen ge, what are you doing with so many lipsticks?
Shen ge: It’s for a friend.
Xiao Dong was suddenly alert. As an assistant, she couldn’t interfere with Li Shen’s personal life. She can only bring up Chi Lu, “Does Lulu jie know?”
Shen ge: Do I need to report to Lulu jie when I am giving a little something to a friend?
Xiao Dong: …..
First of all, don’t say that this is “a little” something. The lipstick itself, isn’t it for a woman?
She doesn’t believe Li Shen has a friend who has this kind of hobby.
Shen ge: A friend of mine’s birthday is coming up and I want to gift it to her. If you’re not going to help me, I’ll ask Xiao Su.
Hearing that Li Shen will go to Xiao Su instead, Xiao Dong felt a sense of crisis that she will fall out of favor. She quickly sent a message over, “I didn’t say I’m not going to help you! But there are so many lipsticks, it’s going to take a while.”
Shen ge: Do it as soon as possible.
Xiao Dong: No problem.
She even added a smiling emoji at the end. But after thinking about it, she deleted it.
May Day is around the peak period of various weddings and celebrations. Zhou Xiaoning has been receiving customers almost every day so Yu Wan was lucky enough to escape this time.
On the 4th, she returned back to work. Wei Shao’s notice had already come down. Once she arrived at the company, everyone clamored around Director Yu asking her to treat them to a meal.
Yu Wan naturally couldn’t refuse, so she arranged an evening meal with everyone. She moved her all belongings from her original desk area to the new office. After setting it up, she sat in the office chair and admired her new office area.
Having your own office…..feels so cool!
While she is admiring her new area, Wei Shao knocked on her door. He didn’t come in and just stood by the door, “How do you feel about your new office?”
Yu Wan stood up when she saw him and sincerely and energetically replied, “Reporting to boss, it feels good!”
Wei Shao smiled, “Go downstairs and look at your car.”
Surprise flashed in her eyes, “The car is ready already?”
“En, you can drive it back after work today. You don’t have to take the subway anymore.”
Yu Wan felt from the bottom of her heart that it’s great to work hard!
The car that the company provided is not a luxury car but the model is practical and beautiful. The key point is that it was given to her for free and every month, she will be reimbursed for the gas. Yu Wan is very happy with this.
She had gotten her driver’s license back at C City but hadn’t driven much. When Wei Shao gave her the car key, he especially told her to drive safely.
“Don’t worry, President Wei. I will drive carefully, I won’t speed.” Yu Wan took the keys and smiled, “Can I drive it around the company to get a feel of it first?”
“En, drive safely.” Wei Shao, still feeling a little uneasy, opened the car door and sat in the passenger seat, “I’ll accompany you to drive around.”
Yu Wan, “….”
No, wouldn’t it be more embarrassing to have the boss sitting to the side?
In the end, Yu Wan, accompanied by Wei Shao, drove a lap around the company. Wei Shao, after seeing that she was driving steadily down the road, didn’t cut anyone off, didn’t run through any red lights, and yielded to pedestrians, didn’t say anything else.
After Yu Wan treated everyone to dinner, she drove herself home. When she safely arrived back, she sent a message to Zhou Xiaoning, “I got the company car. I’ll pick you up when we go out to eat. [Cool]”
Ningning: [smile]
Ningning: Will I soon be undeserving of a rich friend like you? [smile]
Yu Wan: Don’t talk nonsense. You know I’m not someone who favors the rich and disdain the poor
Ningning: [Bye][Bye]
Ningning: I don’t have to work overtime tomorrow. Let’s go out to eat. I want to waste all your money so that you will go back to the same social class as me.
Yu Wam: Hahaha
The next day, Yu Wan got off work and drove her new car to pick up Zhou Xiaoning at Grand Europe Hotel. The two went to Tian Xia Restaurant and ordered the most expensive dishes. Then, they went shopping at Starlight Department Store. Zhou Xiaoning walked out of the fitting room wearing a dress that is of the latest style. She asked Yu Wan, who is sitting on the sofa, “How about this one? I think it makes me look fairer than the other one.”
“Yes, I think it is okay.” Yu Wan nodded. She heard her phone ringing and took it out of her bag, “Hold up, I’m gonna answer the call.”
The call is from Li Shen. Yu Wan stared at the name for a second and answered, “Li Shen?”
She lowered her voice but even then, Zhou Xiaoning was able to vaguely hear the word “Li Shen.” She pricked out her ear even more.
“Oh, I’m out shopping with Ningning. I’ll probably be back around ten. En, okay.”
When she saw Yu Wan hang up, Zhou Xiaoning went to her with an eager look on her face, “Was it Li Shen?”
“En.” Yu Wan put her phone back in her bag and curtly answered Zhou Xiaoning’s question. However, Zhou Xiaoning wasn’t someone who can easily be thrown off. She smiled at her and asked, “You two often call each other?”
“…..Not often.”
“Oh, then why is he looking for you?”
Yu Wan pursed her lips. She knows that if she doesn’t tell Zhou Xiaoning today, this matter would not be over, “It’s nothing. He said he had something to give me and asked me when I’ll be back.”
Zhou Xiaoning felt it was a bit dubious, “What is it?”
“I don’t know, he didn’t say anything.”
Zhou Xiaoning stared at her for a while, “Is he trying to court you again?”
Yu Wan froze. She quickly rejected Zhou XIaoning’s thought, “No, don’t randomly guess!”
“Oh, then what are you nervous about?”
“I’m not. He has a special status right now. I’m afraid it might negatively impact him.”
“Okay, okay, I believe you. Don’t be so agitated.”

Yu Wan glared at her and didn’t continue.
After shopping, she originally wanted to send Zhou Xiaoning home. She didn’t expect Zhou Xiaoning to ambiguously say, “I can go back myself. Don’t let Li Shen wait too long.”
Yu Wan, “…..”
She really wanted her to spit out everything she ate at night.
Since Zhou Xiaoning didn’t want her to send her back, she didn’t bother insisting. The apartment she lives in and Li Shen’s villa are not the same. She doesn’t have her own garage so she can only park in the underground parking lot. After that, she came up to the first floor and walked to Li Shen’s villa.
When the villa was sold, the garden was just a vacant plot of land. Whether the owner wants to grow vegetables or plant flowers, it is all up to them. Li Shen didn't use it to grow vegetables. Instead, he built a small pavilion and even built a water system. He also planted a variety of flowers and trees. Usually a dedicated gardener maintains the care of it. In the evening, the lights in the garden were lit up. Yu Wan watched the lights change from red to purple and then from purple to red. She secretly thought the money Li Shen spent on the garden is way more expensive than the decoration in her whole house.
Li Shen opened the door for her when she rang the doorbell. Yu Wan felt a bit uncomfortable seeing him in his lounge wear. She stood by the door and didn’t go inside, “Do you have anything for me?”
“It’s in the house. Come in and get it.”
“Oh….” Since he said this, Yu Wan followed him inside. Lili is currently lying in her doghouse. When she saw Yu Wan come in, she didn’t run up to her with her tail wagging as usual. Yu Wan found it strange and asked, “What’s wrong with Lili?”
Li Shen took out the thing Xiao Dong prepared and glanced at Lili’s direction, “She ate too much in the past two days so she doesn't feel well. She would be very distant when she is uncomfortable.”
Yu Wan looked at Lili simply lying there and felt that she does look distant, “Have you had someone look at her?”
“En, she already took the medicine. She should be better tomorrow.”
“That’s good.” Yu Wan moved her eyes away and looked at what Li Shen brought out, “What is this?”
The big box on the coffee table looks like…..a weapons case in the movies.
Li Shen let out an uncomfortable cough, “It’s for you.”
“Me?” Yu Wan was a little surprised and remembered that Zhou Xiaoning said Li Shen is trying to court her.
“Haha, it seems like a lot of people are giving me things.” Yu Wan calmed herself down and opened the box.
It is filled with lipsticks.
“…..” She stared at the box for a while and seemed to remember something, “Are these from the giveaway I forwarded before? Did I win?”
When the words came out, she realized she said something stupid. Even if she won, Li Shen shouldn’t be the one giving it to her.
And she remembered that the giveaway is open until the end of the month.
Li Shen looked a bit embarrassed. If Lili wasn’t sick, she wouldn’t come out and try to mend the situation, “Isn’t your birthday coming up soon? I saw you forward this so I bought it for you.”
Since she forward it, she must have wanted it.
Li Shen revealed too much information from this one sentence. Yu Wan was silent for a moment before she said, “You follow my Weibo?”
“I can’t? Didn’t you follow me too?”
“….”
This is not the same.
Wait, if she and Li Shen are following each other, how come she doesn’t know. “Are you secretly following me?”
“En, I didn’t want my fans to find you from my following list.”
“….” It feels more and more like a secret relationship, “But doesn’t your team use your Weibo? Wouldn’t they look at your watchlist?”
Li Shen froze. He simply forgot about this. “They haven’t noticed it yet. But remind me to use my side account to follow you.”
“…..”
No, she didn’t bring it up to get Li Shen’s side account! Really!
Li Shen went on Weibo and followed Yu Wan on his side account. “Do you want to follow my side account?”
“…..Okay.”
The two stood in the living room and completed following each other. After Li Shen unfollowed her on his official account, he returned back to the original topic, “Can you carry all these lipsticks? It’s a little heavy.”
Yu Wan looked at the lipsticks and thought, is Li Shen really trying to pursue her? Yes or no?
Li Shen thought her silence meant that she was thinking of how to bring it back, “I ‘ll help you carry it back.”
“No, I can carry it. It’s only a short distance.” Yu Wan smiled, “I often help around wedding venues. I have some strength.”
“Okay, be careful.”
“Okay, thanks for the birthday gift.”
“You’re welcome.” Li Shen also had a selfish reason for gifting these lipsticks. Everyday when Yu Wan walks out of the house, she will be wearing the lipsticks that he gave her.
Yu Wan came home with the large box of lipsticks and couldn’t wait to look for the color that she always wanted to try but never bought. She looked in the mirror and carefully applied it on. The color looks really nice.
She took a selfie in front of the mirror. She originally wanted to send it to Zhou Xiaoning but thought better of it. She instead opened Li Shen’s chat box and sent him a message.
Yu Wan: I tested out one of the lipsticks, it looks pretty [cute]
Li Shen: Shouldn’t you take a selfie
Yu Wan: Hahaha
Yu Wan: I’m bad at taking pictures so I won’t send them to you. But after this situation, I don't dare to forward any more giveaway posts.
Li Shen: It’s useless to forward these posts. In the future, just directly send it to me. I will be your lucky koi.
