Chapter 466: Chapter 466 Close Friends and Relatives

In the following days, Shen Siyuan started to get to know other people in the company as he clocked in and out on time every day.

He could also now repair computers for employees on his own without Dragon Shihai hovering around, marking his official initiation, considering the task doesn’t require much technical expertise and Shen Siyuan already had a good foundation, allowing him to get the hang of it quickly.

During this time, Luo Gaoyuan arrived at Red Hearts International again and signed the next year’s transportation contract with Ruan Hongzhuang.

Before he left, he specially had a chat with Shen Siyuan. It was along the lines that he won’t easily give up, and he’s not optimistic about their relationship, thinking they will break up sooner or later and, by then, he will definitely pursue Ruan Hongzhuang again.

Shen Siyuan didn’t pay much attention to it, just listened to it as the wails of defeat, although he indeed started to see his character in a new light.

"Brother Shen," Wei Suhua approached with a smiling face.

"What is it now?" Shen Siyuan was rather helpless whenever he saw her.

Wei Suhua had previously wanted to invite him to appear in a video, which he had declined outright, thinking that was the end of it.

Yet, unexpectedly her script included quite a few scenes between Ruan Hongzhuang and a boyfriend.

She didn’t directly say she wanted Shen Siyuan to act, but instead suggested to Ruan Hongzhuang that they find a male employee from the company to play her boyfriend.

Upon hearing this, Ruan Hongzhuang instantly decided there was no better choice than her real boyfriend, instead of looking for a fake one, and therefore directly named Shen Siyuan.

Shen Siyuan: ...

No wonder he felt she laughed so evilly that day; she had been waiting for him.

"Shoot one more clip with me," Wei Suhua requested.

"Shoot again? If this keeps up, my girlfriend might just break up with me." Shen Siyuan had already cooperated in two videos: One was Truth or Dare, and the other was Not Getting Angry with Three Questions.

Both were currently popular models on the internet, and even though they’re old, lots of people still love watching them.

After the videos went online, likes, shares, and comments hit a historical high, with the number of fans increasing by several thousand in a single day, making Wei Suhua absolutely thrilled.

Of course, the main draw was that Shen Siyuan and Ruan Hongzhuang were both extremely good-looking, with vastly different social positions, creating a huge sense of gap that piqued a lot of interest.

After all, a poor boy winning over a rich girl is timeless and always has enough to talk about.

Even when Shen Siyuan rejected, Wei Suhua wasn’t upset, merely sighed, "Alright then, guess I’ll go have a word with President Ruan."

Saying this she turned to leave.

"Come back." Shen Siyuan quickly called her back.

Seeing her smug smile, Shen Siyuan helplessly asked, "What do you want to shoot this time?"

"Something cheeky," she replied.

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"It’s about expressing interest in your girlfriend’s best friend in front of her. I’ve already thought about it, it’ll be Assistant Jiang playing the role..." Wei Suhua excitedly explained her envisioned filming process.

"Are you trying to get me killed faster?" Shen Siyuan retorted.

"Haha... just say if you’ll do it or not? If you don’t agree, I’ll go ask President Ruan." Wei Suhua laughed out loud.

"I’ll do it."

What choice did Shen Siyuan have? If he asked Ruan Hongzhuang, she would definitely agree, letting alone fake, even if it was real...

-----------------

"Next time, don’t let Wei Suhua come asking me to shoot videos again; she treats a chicken feather as authority, and she’s driving me crazy," Shen Siyuan couldn’t help but complain to Ruan Hongzhuang after work.

Hearing that, Ruan Hongzhuang laughed heartily before continuing, "But the videos she released in the past few episodes have had good effects, with tens of thousands of new fans in just a few days."

"And I see someone seems pretty happy about it," Ruan Hongzhuang said, glancing sideways at Taozi, who was sitting in the passenger seat.

Taozi looked out the window, completely ignoring her words. These days, whenever the opportunity arose, Ruan Hongzhuang would tease her a bit, which would get her all worked up before leaving her alone, which was quite a nasty attitude.

But soon, Taozi came up with a counter-talk method—ignoring her banter, letting all her attempts fall on deaf ears, naturally avoiding any irritation. The method was simple, but it worked well, as was evident now.

As expected, with Taozi ignoring her, Ruan Hongzhuang lost interest, pursed her lips, then, feeling she might have gone a little overboard, tried to make amends, "Alright, I’m just joking with you; don’t be mad. I’ll treat you to a good meal tonight. What do you want to eat?"

"I’m not interested," Taozi replied immediately upon hearing her.

Ruan Hongzhuang laughed upon hearing it, knowing that even though Taozi spoke angrily, as long as she was talking to her, it meant she wasn’t actually mad anymore.

After all, talking about food always works.

"Would you like some smoked duck, lamb steak, or Yu’s lamb chops..." Ruan Hongzhuang listed dishes that were specialties at some famous restaurants in Bin Hai.

"If I want to eat, I can go by myself; why would I need you to treat me?"

"The portions are large; it’s not convenient for you to go alone. You don’t have many friends, so besides me, who else would be willing to accompany you for these meals?" Ruan Hongzhuang argued.

"I can have Si Yuan accompany me," Taozi said unapologetically.

Hearing this, Ruan Hongzhuang was slightly stumped. Could she say no? If she did, it would nullify everything she had said earlier.

But since she herself brought up this matter, naturally, it was well-considered. How could she just backtrack halfway through? If she did, their relationship might suffer great damage.

After all, Taozi had set aside her dignity and pride to agree, and if she repented now, what would that make of things?

Ruan Hongzhuang didn’t expect herself to be outmaneuvered, casting a sidelong glance at Taozi, who had a smug face watching her, unable to muster her anger because she knew Taozi, and Taozi knew her as well.

"Consider it your win, okay?" Ruan said affectionately.

"Humph." Taozi let out a soft snort.

Yet her gaze did not shift away. At that moment, the traffic light turned red, and Ruan Hongzhuang turned to meet her gaze.

Sitting in the backseat, Shen Siyuan witnessed the scene, suddenly feeling like the third wheel.

And about sitting in the back... shouldn’t the passenger seat be his?

But now the front seat had almost become Taozi’s exclusive seat, except for the few times when she was driving, and Ruan Hongzhuang sat there.

"Sigh..."

Hearing the sigh from behind, the two women burst out laughing happily.

Of course, they didn’t actually go out to eat at any of the places Ruan mentioned. Instead, they opted to have dinner at home. However, Ruan Hongzhuang specially instructed Mao Sanmei to cook two of Taozi’s favorite dishes.

One was Coke Chicken Wings, and the other was Mao’s Braised Pork.

Of course, although it was specially made for Taozi, it wasn’t something only she can enjoy; others were there to enjoy the feast as well.

"Are they delicious?" Shen Siyuan asked Tang Tang, who was sitting next to him, as the little one was fervently gnawing on a chicken wing, her face and bib covered with sauce.

Upon "hearing" Shen Siyuan’s inquiry, she lifted her head and gave him a silly smile.

"Yummy, han~"

"Then eat a bit more."

Shen Siyuan added another piece to her little bowl, as kids loved this kind of sweet and greasy food.
