“I had a lot to say to you that day, but Assistant Qi stormed into the office expressionlessly, putting on more airs than me and saying, ‘President Shen,everyone has arrived. Please convene a meeting immediately. There’s also a dinner party with local financial tycoons in the evening. The meeting is expected to last only an hour and a half. We have a total of five issues to discuss and come to a conclusion.'”

“I think he cares more about the work in South Africa than I do…”

The man said half-truthfully, “Why don’t I transfer him to work in South Africa after this business trip is over? There just happen to be a lot of high-level vacancies here.”

Xia Shu’an: “…”

He said without any emotion, “Assistant Qi just got married.”

Shen Boyan couldn’t care less: “I know; that’s why I think so.”

Xia Shu’an: “…”

Why can’t you act a little humane?

“Ahem.” Probably feeling that he had exposed too much of his inner demon, the man tried to save his image, and his voice returned to a gentle tone.

“Have you eaten? Have you eaten well recently?”

“Yes, yes.”

Xia Shu’an answered casually. Shen Boyan would ask about this almost every day on the phone, which reminded Xia Shu’an of his high school days. Every time he called his mom, she would ask him what he had eaten and whether he was wearing warm clothes.

Is this a common problem among all “parents”?

He thought absentmindedly, but Shen Boyan, on the other end, changed his subject: “I will be back in three days. Xia Shu’an, do you miss me? I miss you very much.”

The warm topic made Xia Shu’an a little uncomfortable. He lowered his head and then hummed after a while.

There seemed to be a chuckle coming from the other end, but the next second: “But I heard from Auntie that you come home late at night half of the week. Are you going out with friends?”

He said quietly, “You are having so much fun with your friends, so it’s hard to think of me, right?”

Xia Shu’an: “…”

Are you getting upset? !

Xia Shu’an felt that he should distance himself from Shen Boyan to create some peace. After all, one or two phone calls a day consumed too much enthusiasm. He wanted to hang up now! ! !

Sensing his dissatisfaction, the other end laughed again.

“….”

“Well, I’m being called outside again, so I’ll hang up now.”
