Gee, there's a situation.

Since the last banquet, the interaction between Lin Jian and Shen Ke has suddenly increased, especially some of the things that were originally accomplished by Assistant Xu have been inexplicably transferred to Lin Jian, therefore, in addition to his monthly salary and performance increased by nearly 20%, the time spent with Shen Ke either on official business or in daily life has increased. As a result, in addition to his monthly salary increase of nearly 20%, the time he spends with Shen Ke either on official business or in his daily life has increased.

After all, a big company like Wanqian emphasizes on "getting feedback on everything", and as Lin Jian's scope of work has expanded, the things he needs to report to Shen Ke in person have naturally increased.

And by chance, Lin Jian finally realizes from Assistant Xu's chitchat why Shen Ke stopped letting him hold the drinks that night - it wasn't that he had done anything wrong, it was that Chairman Shen had his own code of conduct.

What he didn't tell Xu Lang was that Shen Ke didn't let him drink that night, but that he didn't "finish the whole thing in three glasses", but that Shen Ke drank all of it.

It's turning into the height of summer.

"The Manchurian has two reunions a year, and one tailgate party. The year-end event is usually held at the end of the year, and the two reunions are scheduled once in the summer and once in the winter.

But given the size of the company is too large, the number of employees in various departments have more, so the company is very humane to respect the wishes of the staff, willing to participate in the construction of the group can be enrolled, do not want to join in the fun is to receive a bonus vacation, but even so, we are every year in the summer of this "collective revelry" or tend to be rushed, and no other - -The "thousands" of group building programs are always 10,000 times more comfortable and cozy than imagined.

Reunion time is scheduled for this Saturday and Sunday two days, Friday after work from the company parking lot directly from the chartered car, the location is in the city, "Wanqian" large sums of money chartered a seaside resort manor.

Friday after work, all departments have been ready to go staff with their respective suitcases straight to the parking lot, the director of the Office of the staff to wait for everyone to get on the car, with the management of a few vice presidents to get on the car last.

The large force has already taken the lead, and the management of "Wanqian" mainly plays a "pro-people style", a few executives did not ride in their own special car, but followed Shen Ke on a Coaster.

Only after the executives had gotten on the bus did the staff from the board of directors' office head toward the other Coaster. Lin Jian walked at the end of the crowd, waiting for everyone to get on the bus, he stood at the door before realizing something rather embarrassing -

Well, coincidentally, there's no room.

In fact, the number of people and things set a long time ago, according to reason there will not be this kind of oolong, but due to the choice of destination and the early arrangements for the reunion project is really attractive, coupled with the summer vacation, many employees' children are on vacation at home, so the director of the Office of a few sisters in advance to apply for a trip with the children to play together, and for this kind of request, do not need to report to the Shen Ke, the deputy general manager of logistics directly agreed. The vice president in charge of logistics directly agreed.

The number of trips had already been increased, but I didn't realize that it was still a hundred times worse.

Lin Jian stood on the steps of the car door, and the sisters with the children in the car understood at once and apologized to him with great embarrassment. Sister Fang's youngest daughter was so young that she was directly carried on her mother's lap, and Sister Fang waved at Lin Jian, apologizing and warmly greeting him as he went over to sit: "Assistant Lin, come on, I'll just hold the baby, you sit next to me!"

"No need." Lin Jian thought it was nothing, and nodded lightly at Sister Fang, "It's more than two hours, so don't make it hard for the child to sit there."

With that said, he got out of the car, ready to go to the parking lot and follow in his own car.

Just two steps away, a window in the last row of the Coaster carrying the executives was suddenly pulled open and Lin Jian heard his name being called.

Lin Jian turned around and saw Shen Ke slightly tilting his head outward and asked him, "Why don't you get in the car?"

"I ......" Lin Jian didn't say anything about the seat, just said, "I'm a little car sick, so I'd better drive myself."

Shen Ke looks at him for a few seconds, doesn't say anything, and pulls the window up.

Lin Jian slowly breathed a sigh of relief and turned to walk towards the parking lot, but just two steps away, he heard footsteps coming from behind, he turned around and immediately froze in place in shock.

Shen Ke surprised him by getting out of the Coaster, pulling a very small black suitcase in his hand, and walking in his direction.

Lin Jian was still frozen when the man came to the front.

Shen Ke looks at him for a few seconds, lifts his chin in the direction of the parking lot, and says, "Go ahead, take my car."

"Chairman Shen, you ......" Lin Jian is completely out of condition, standing without moving.

"What's wrong, is it hard to believe that those who are the bosses really don't have any privileged benefits at all?" Shen Ke turned back, probably amused by his dull look that was not common in ordinary days, a very faint layer of smiles floated up under his eyes, "Go."

Lin Jian : "...... Oh."

When we arrived at the parking lot, Shen Ke put his suitcase into the trunk and put Lin Jian's on top of it, so that Assistant Lin Li had to look at the 18 million dollar Barbos for a long time.

By the time he reacted, Shen Ke had already gotten into the driver's seat with ease.

Lin Jian stood beside the half fallen car window and said apprehensively, "Chairman Shen ...... let me drive it."

"No need." Shen Ke buckled his seatbelt and mouthed, "Come on up."

Assistant Lin Li was still confused until she sat in the passenger seat.

But it must be said that there is still a fundamental difference between an eight million dollar Barbos and an eight hundred thousand dollar Koster. Although the departure time was a little slower, Lin Jian and his team still arrived at their destination ahead of schedule.

The sky would be dark when they arrived, and the entire vacation estate was less than a five hundred meter walk from the beach, and in the evening, an orange sunset roamed up from the depths of the sea level, reddening the entire beach.

Not long afterward, the large troops also arrived one after another. There were many white seaside villas densely scattered in the manor, and the employees received their room cards on a departmental basis, and went back to their rooms to pack up their belongings first.

The staff of the board office was concentrated in the pure white spire villa on the left side of the estate, very close to the gothic villa where the executives lived.

"Wanqian" hired a professional team of reunion planners, all the programs and entertainment activities for these two days are arranged in advance, without the need for their own employees to bother.

On the first night of our arrival, several long glazed tables were set up on the beach, with local seafood and specialty ingredients, and a roaring bonfire burning red hot under the starry sky and ocean waves, tinting half of the distant sky with warm colors.

The group of people went crazy until midnight and finally went back to rest, Lin Jian wanted to stay and clean up the beach with the staff of the construction contractor, but was refused by the other party.

Eat the king's salary, be loyal to the king's work - no way, "thousands" is really too much to give.

Not being of much help, Lin Jian had to call it quits and head down the endless coastline towards the estate.

The end of the night is like water, the sea breeze is gentle, and the waves are singing softly at your feet.

After a short walk, a figure gradually appeared in the direction of the manor across the street.

Lin Jian raised his eyes and then paused.

When Shen Ke walked in front of Lin Jian realized that he should have already taken a shower in his room, changed out of his usual pants and shirt, and was only wearing a pair of linen black pants and a pure white T-shirt, his figure in the moonlight and starlight was tall and straight, but inexplicably brought a few points of elegance and seclusion of the elegance of the fluttering charm.

Lin Jian stood still and watched the long figure slowly approaching in the sound of the waves, the originally soft beach seemed to have a magnetic attraction like magic, so that his feet could not move half a point.

Shen Ke seemed surprised by this chance encounter, standing in front of Lin Jian for two seconds before asking with a smile, "Walking?"

It was actually to go back to the room, but Lin Jian nodded without hesitation.

"Just right." The smirk under Shen Ke's eyes seemed a little more pronounced as he moved a little closer to him again and said, "Let's take a walk together."

So the two walked a long way down the long coastline.

The night breeze was gentle. They occasionally whispered, basically Shen Ke would say something and Lin Jian would simply respond, but more often than not, the two of them were speechless, just walking along, quietly listening to the sea breeze and the waves whispering.

Time is long, and the stretches of coast grow as if there were no end.

By the time they turned back the way they came, the sea breeze was noticeably a bit stronger.

Lin Jian sneezes unexpectedly as the cool, steamy night air hits his face.

"Mistake, should have brought a jacket out." Shen Ke subconsciously glanced at him before saying, "You go outside."

When he finished, he went around to the waterfront side.

Somehow, Lin Jian's memory was suddenly taken back to the rainy night when he first attended a banquet with Shen Ke.

The cool sea breeze is just like the fine rain that night, was Shen Ke immovable blocked most of it, Lin Jian after the light swept over the side of the man's face, opened his mouth, but finally did not say anything, and turned his eyes back again.

The night breeze suddenly took on a subtle yet sheepish quality.

The two of them walked into the manor until they were almost in front of the villa where Lin Jian lived, and he suddenly thought of something, paused on his feet, and said to Shen Ke, "...... Chairman Shen, let me send you back."

Shen Ke glanced at the white spired villa close at hand, then dropped his eyes to the youth in front of him, smiled very lightly, and said, "Assistant Lin, the reflex arc is too long, isn't it?"

It was all the way to the door before I realized it.

"I ......" Lin Jian opened his mouth, but was inadvertently doused with a cool breeze.

"Go on in." Shen Ke lifted his chin toward the villa's front door, "I'll stay out of the way and watch you enter from here."

Shen Ke himself is fine with it, but if the other employees see the big boss personally sending Lin Jian back late at night, I am afraid it will bring him some unnecessary troubles.

"You ......" Lin Jian felt his brain vaguely trending toward downtime again, and he could neither understand why Shen Ke drove him here himself in the afternoon, nor could he figure out why he had to walk himself to the door again in the evening.

It seemed that whenever it was something to do with this man, his keen mind would habitually tie itself in knots when he tried to think.

"What are you staring at?" Shen Ke's warm and deep voice scattered in the night breeze, low and slow with a kind of fuzzy and hazy good, "Quickly go inside, take a hot bath, beware of catching a cold."

"...... Oh." Lin Jian is still a little dumbfounded, but obediently turns around, takes a step, and heads for the door, and by the time he's up the last step, the person behind him calls out to him again.

"Lin Jian."

Lin Jian turned at the sound of his voice with one hand still dangling from the brass handle of the gate, "Huh?"

Shen Ke stood under the starry sky, the shallow smile marks under her eyes seemed to contain light, and she said to him very softly, "Good night."

"...... Good night."

*

The second day was packed with reunion programs and entertainment.

Beach relay races, beach volleyball, yacht trips, snorkeling and much more, and a stretch of sea not far from the estate has been developed as a sunbathing area, where you can also go into the water freely.

The reunion planners divided everyone into groups according to the personal interests of the employees, with professional staff leading the activities.

Lin Jian is actually not used to participating in these group activities, but his colleagues in the Board of Directors' Office were so excited to have a beach volleyball match that he couldn't refuse as he was enthusiastically dragged along by some of his colleagues due to his outstanding height advantage.

Lin Jian went back to his room and changed into shorts and a big T-shirt, pocketed his money clip and cell phone in passing, and when he returned to the beach, he realized that the nets had all been pulled up, and that the people who were ready to play against the staff of the director's office were actually the vice presidential squad ...... of management, including Shen Ke.

Who would have thought that this game was just a "workplace game" and would certainly be concerned about the so-called "leadership", but as soon as the ball was served, Lin Jian realized that something was wrong.

Not to say that the senior management are all on guard and put their best foot forward, the boys of the Board of Directors Office is even more regardless of what they are doing, the attack is only increasing, pads and dunking the ball trick kills, not the slightest intention of letting the points release water.

If that were the case - it would be much more interesting.

A game in which the senior group lost badly.

At the end of the day, except for Shen Ke, almost all of the remaining vice presidents lay down on the beach, collapsing with difficulty.

Yes, this group of vice presidents either all day business, or is a drinking game to socialize, do not think so much time to use fitness or sports, there are two vice presidents is even young on the "three high" burst table, this time to the group building even seafood do not dare to eat, for fear of a sudden gout.

So it's very reasonable to think that you can't beat these energetic lads in the board office at normal strength.

But--

Lin Jian couldn't help but turn his attention to Shen Ke who was talking to a vice president lying on the beach. According to reason, this person should be the busiest in the whole company and the one with the least amount of personal time, so why did he have such a tough body, not seeing any fatigue throughout the whole game, and only slightly panting after the high-intensity exercise?

It's so unscientific.

A staff member came to collect the net, colleagues rested for a while, also ready to go back to the room to shower and change clothes, Lin Jian glanced at Shen Ke not far away, found that he had already sat down on the beach, seems to continue to chat for a while, so bashfully retracted his gaze, and everyone back to the villa area together.

A volleyball match brought together a few top executives, so they unknowingly chatted a bit more. By the time Shen Ke and his team finished talking, it was almost lunch time.

Shen Ke got up from the beach and walked with the two vice presidents in the direction of the manor, and within two steps, the light of his drooping eyes focused on the black money clip at his feet, which was half buried by the fine soft sand.

The odds are that anyone who could have accidentally left their money clip here would be one of the boys from the director's office who had just played the game.

Shen Ke bends down and picks up the money clip, a very simple black basic folio model with no pattern or logo on the leather, just a very unassuming silver corner label.

Shen Ke opened the money clip, wanting to see if there was any ID information or other items, and the next second, the eyes abruptly paused for a moment.

The card position are stuffed with several bank cards, plastic layer placed in the matter of "Wan Qian" staff card, the front of the card stated the "director of the Office Lin Jian" a few words.

But that's not the reason for Shen Ke's accident.

He furrowed his brow a bit and flipped open the center compartment, and then he saw an old item that was sitting in the deepest compartment of his money clip.

To be more precise, it was an old thing he used to--

A five-colored horse peace blessing that has some fading and wear.

The memory abruptly traveled back, and all of a sudden it was pulled back to the summer when I was sixteen years old.

Shen Ke kept his head slightly bowed, not moving for a long time, until Assistant Xu, who was walking from a short distance away, came to his side and softly called out "Chairman Shen", then he came back to his senses.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, and without moving, he took that Peaceful Blessing out of his money clip and put it into his own pocket, while waiting for Assistant Xu to finish his report, before handing the money clip over again as if it was in passing, and said in a faint voice, "I found it just now, let's see which staff member left it behind, and send it back to him."

Assistant Xu, not doubting, opened his money clip and looked at it, smiling, "Oh, it's Assistant Lin's, it's just as well I'm going back to my room, I'll take it to him."

Shen Ke "hmmm", superfluous words, not a word, straight stride away.

Xu Lang and Lin Jian live in the same villa, when he walked to the front door of the villa, he saw Lin Jian come out from the door, always calm and steady youth face with a rare anxious look.

"Assistant Lin." Xu Lang called out to him, "What's up?"

Lin Jian gave a slight nod and left a hasty "looking for something" before passing him by.

"Hey!" Xu Lang smiles and pulls back, handing the money clip in his hand to him, "Looking for this, right?"

Xu Lang was keenly aware that when Lin Jian saw the money clip, his whole body was like a leather band stretched to its limit, suddenly loosening up.

"Thank you." Lin Jian breathed a long sigh of relief, repeated it inexplicably every other second, finished his two thank you's, and couldn't wait to open his money clip before the next moment the leather straps were abruptly pulled tight again.

"Where did you pick it up?" Lin Jian asked, looking up at Xu Lang with a torch-like gaze.

"...... Just the beach." Xu Lang is startled by that burning glare and can't help but ask, "What's wrong?"

"...... It's fine." Lin Jian pursed his lips, nodded at him, and ran around the man directly toward the beach.

Once at the beach, Lin Jian, unable to stop his heart from beating so fast that it was about to burst, bent down and searched every inch of the area where he had just played the game, but after more than half an hour, he found nothing.

After a long time, Lin Jian straightened up and looked at the endless golden beach, a bit of confusion in his eyes.

Reunion planning team is too dutiful, looking around, the whole beach has been cleaned up, not to mention a small peace blessing, even an empty water bottle, a small piece of waste paper towels are not.

The midday sun is very hot, Lin Jian feels that his whole body is nourishing out of the heat, the body's moisture is asleep in the sun and lost, but only he himself understands that, at this moment, he lost, and not only water.

It was like the thread that had been in the deepest part of his heart for years had suddenly, completely, snapped.

Lin Jian stood on the beach for a long time until a colleague called out his name in the distance, and only then did he turn around and leave as if he had just woken up from a dream.

Two days of reunion is not yet finished, Sunday afternoon, "thousands" of employees returned to the original way, half a day's rest at home, Monday ushered in a new sunshine. The staff of "Ten Thousand" returned to their home on Sunday afternoon,

Lin Jian was really depressed for two days when he lost his five-color horse Ping An Fu, but after returning to work, he cleaned up these personal emotions, as if he was still the cool and meticulous Assistant Lin in the eyes of his colleagues.

On Monday afternoon, Lin Jian brought several documents sent over by Tina to Shen Ke for signature. During this period of time, Lin Jian's work content has been gradually expanded, and things that should be done by secretaries will be transferred to him when Tina is too busy with her work.

Standing behind the already familiar frosted glass door, Lin Jian raised his hand and knocked.

"Come in."

Lin Jian pushed the door and entered, "Chairman Shen, there are a few copies of ......"

The latter words were automatically silenced, Lin Jian stood not far from his desk with a folder in his hand, abruptly shutting down his voice, and when he saw the girl in front of him, who was pulling one of Shen Ke's arms and pampering her, he suddenly forgot what he was here for.

For a moment, he seemed to lose all sensory perception, but soon, reacting as quickly as a corpse warms up, he said, "Excuse me, I'll be back in a moment," a little too quickly, and was about to turn around and exit the office.

"Lin Jian."

A warm and deep voice came from behind him, Lin Jian was like a puppet on strings that had been pressed the pause button, he stopped in place again, and after two seconds, he turned around and tried to show a professional and decent smile, "Chairman Shen, is there anything else I can do for you?"

In fact, from the moment Lin Jian pushed the door in, Shen Ke saw who was coming and tried to take his arm back, but the little girl was spoiled by him and failed to get away.

"What's in your hand?" Shen Ke stood in front of his desk, his posture Zhou Zheng said in a natural tone, "Give it to me."

"Oh ......" Lin Jian did not understand why this person is still concerned about this kind of small matter at this kind of time, the word isn't it possible to sign at any time, and it's not an urgent matter, but he still made an order to move, took a step to the front of Shen Ke, and placed the folder on the office desk at a distance, "It's a few documents that need your review and approval. a distance, placed the folder on the desk, "It's a few documents that need your review and signature." After a pause, he added, "But it's not very urgent."

Shen Ke's hand with the folder stalled for a moment, and he lifted his eyes to look at him.

And Lin Jian's gaze dropped to the carpet at his feet in due course.

Shen Ke picked up a fountain pen from his desk and flipped through a few pages of papers before signing them one by one, but quite suddenly, while signing, he said in a faint voice, "Ai Jia, my sister-in-law's cousin."

After saying this, he added, "This is Lin Jian."

It wasn't explicitly stated who the words were addressed to, but the introduction was so obvious that Lin Jian couldn't help but freeze before he shifted his eyes from the carpet and landed on the girl beside Shen Ke, nodding his head in a bit of a daze and saying, "Hello."

"Hello!"

Ai Jia first responded with a smile, and then shot Shen Ke a very strange look.

My big cousin, I've been to your company so many times, why haven't you introduced me to anyone before?

It says it is an introduction, but how does your tone ...... sound so much like skimming?

Don't you want to be a relative?

And when you introduced me to the staff, it was always "Assistant Seo," "Secretary Chen," "Vice President Lee," and so on. -How come this one here is just a name without a title?

Gee, there's something going on.
