Chapter 1145: Chapter 496: Li Shiqi and Shen Yu_3

Zhou Yuwen spoke very directly, and the students of Jinling University showed disappointed expressions.

There was also a hint of disappointment on Shen Yu’s face.

This meant that Zhou Yuwen didn’t give her any face at all.

Zheng Yanyan had been watching the whole time, and when the moment was right, she proactively smiled and said, “Hey, Zhou Yuwen, it’s fine if others can’t join your company, but surely you wouldn’t refuse your own girlfriend, right?”

When Zheng Yanyan said this, Lu Lin and Li Shiqi were really startled, thinking she was talking nonsense.

Even Zhou Yuwen felt that Zheng Yanyan was about to say something ridiculous, not knowing who the ‘girlfriend’ she mentioned actually was.

Faced with everyone’s gaze.

Zheng Yanyan simply smiled and raised her chin, saying, “Why are you looking at me like that? Your girlfriend is a student from Jinling University. Such talent shouldn’t go to waste!”

Only then did everyone breathe a sigh of relief.

They were a bit surprised though.

Was Zheng Yanyan actually speaking up for Li Shiqi?

But looking at Zheng Yanyan being all nonchalant, she said, the reason Zhou Yuwen didn’t hire part-time workers from the school was because he was afraid the talent he painstakingly cultivated would be snatched away by others.

But that wouldn’t apply to Li Shiqi; isn’t Li Shiqi your girlfriend?

Wouldn’t it be natural for her to join your company after graduation?

“In that case, why don’t you just hire her in advance?”

Zheng Yanyan was right, and it even moved Li Shiqi a little, sitting next to Zhou Yuwen. She didn’t know why Zheng Yanyan was speaking up for her, but she could tell that Zheng Yanyan genuinely wanted to help her.

Did she perhaps overhear what had been said earlier?

Zhou Yuwen was eating hot pot and said, that’s not necessary.

“Shiqi’s main task right now is studying, and I don’t want anything to distract her. Moreover, she herself doesn’t seem to want to join my company.”

As he said this, Zhou Yuwen smiled and glanced at Li Shiqi.

Thinking that she’s a woman who wants to pursue an official career path, it’s unlikely she’d be interested in his small company.

But when he made eye contact with Li Shiqi at that moment, Zhou Yuwen suddenly realized something seemed off.

He saw that Li Shiqi was looking at him rather seriously, and she said, “If I could, I’d like to give it a try…”

“?”

Zheng Yanyan laughed and said, “Ha~ see, your girlfriend actually wants to help you, Yuwen…”

Zheng Yanyan hadn’t finished her sentence when Zhou Yuwen shot her a glare.

This look immediately reminded Zheng Yanyan of her place, and she sheepishly smiled at Zhou Yuwen.

Zhou Yuwen looked at Li Shiqi and asked, “Do you really want to give it a try?”

In her heart, Li Shiqi did want to join Zhou Yuwen’s company, partly to gain work experience and partly to be closer to Zhou Yuwen. However, she also knew it was quite presumptuous of her to make this request.

So when Zhou Yuwen genuinely asked her, Li Shiqi began to hesitate, “If it would trouble you, then forget it…”

“It’s no trouble, having you help would actually be the best.”

Zhou Yuwen spoke sincerely, as the company was currently short-staffed. Since the beginning, Li Shiqi had been seen as a talent in Zhou Yuwen’s eyes, and if he could groom her as a backup manager or future secretary, that would be ideal.

The issue was, Zhou Yuwen wanted to know if Li Shiqi really wanted to enter his company or if she was just influenced by what Zheng Yanyan said and felt obliged.

Seeing that Li Shiqi was serious, Zhou Yuwen naturally welcomed her.

So Zhou Yuwen directly instructed Li Shiqi to come to the company to find him the next day.

Hearing this, everyone laughed, and Wang Meng even egged them on, expressing envy that Li Shiqi had such a boyfriend.

“Isn’t this the so-called domineering CEO!” Wang Meng laughed.

“No, that title is too embarrassing,” Zhou Yuwen replied.

Everyone couldn’t help but laugh even more.

Of course, not everyone at the table was happy.

At the very least, Shen Yu was disappointed.

Actually, when Su Qing left, Shen Yu had the chance to take over Su Qing’s planning company and learn planning from Chen Wan.

But back then, she only wanted to keep her distance from Zhou Yuwen, so she declined.

Looking back now…

She seemed to have missed a golden opportunity…

Now, in Zhou Yuwen’s eyes, there was only Li Shiqi…

Even Zheng Yanyan seemed less enthusiastic about her than before.
