A whirlwind marriage leads to doting affection; the husband pampers her every night.

Chapter 174 There is a chance

When Shen Nian saw that Lu Yan was about to call Mo Ze, she hurriedly stepped forward to stop him.

"Wait a minute, Xiao Wu, it's not what you think!"

In her haste, she tried to snatch Lu Yan's phone, but of course, she failed, because she looked short in front of Lu Yan.

Lu Yan, holding his phone but not yet dialing, raised an eyebrow at Shen Nian and said, "So what's with this outfit of yours? Tell me first!"

She was just avoiding him, pretending not to know him, there's definitely something wrong with her!

Lu Yan began to use his imagination and conjured up a whole drama in his mind.

"Second sister-in-law, you wouldn't have...done something while my second brother was away on his business trip, would you?"

Shen Nian, “…”

Heh, is it that obvious?!

Knowing she couldn't hide it from Lu Yan any longer, she had no choice but to tell him the whole story.

"Just because of this?" Lu Yan asked, arms crossed, after hearing Shen Nian's explanation.

Shen Nian nodded.

"Why don't you just talk to your second brother and ask him for help!" Lu Yan didn't understand why someone with resources and connections wouldn't use them instead of suffering like this.

She even came here part-time as a waitress, just for a chance to get in.

"At the very least, you could ask me to bring you in, you idiot!"

Shen Nian explained softly, "I just didn't want to trouble you... and I didn't want people to say I got things done because of connections..."

"Having connections is a skill in itself, but what can you do when others don't have them?" Lu Yan said frankly.

Shen Nian suddenly laughed, and had to admit that the uncle and the people around him were people with strong inner strength who never suffered internally.

Spending time with them will make you more confident.

“Let’s go. It’s just a project. We don’t need it. Your manager is an idiot. Everyone else has already signed contracts, and you, an intern, went and tried to poach them. I don’t know what you were thinking. You have to tell your second brother about this and have him stand up for you. If you’re too embarrassed to say it, I’ll do it for you.” Lu Yan gave the project manager a good scolding.

"No, I'll talk to him myself. Maybe... the project manager is just trying to train us. Wouldn't it be more rewarding to complete a challenging task?" Shen Nian hurriedly interrupted Lu Yan.

Lu Xiaowu couldn't help but roll her eyes. "So, did you finish it? Did you feel a sense of accomplishment?"

Shen Nian gave an awkward smile and shook her head, "No..."

Indeed, she was thinking too simply. Even if she had the chance to meet them in person, no one would pay any attention to someone as insignificant as her.

"So you've seen through this society yet? Next time you really want to steal someone else's partner, let my second brother do it." Lu Yan pulled Shen Nian away, "Have you not had dinner yet? Let me take you to eat. My second brother will be heartbroken if he finds out."

The two had only taken a few steps when they were suddenly stopped by someone behind them.

"Excuse me, please wait a moment."

It was Chairman Ren of Shengshi Group who stopped them.

Shen Nian and Lu Yan turned around together, her face full of confusion.

Ren Dongchao walked over to them; he naturally recognized Lu Yan.

"So he really is from JK Group. Does President Lu know this intern?" Chairman Ren asked, looking at Lu Yan.

Lu Yan nodded, "This is my second... oh dear~"

Before he could finish speaking, Shen Nian secretly pinched him, stopping him from answering.

Lu Yan glanced at Shen Nian and changed his words, "Yes, she is an intern at our company. She is currently interning in the project department and is very outstanding."

Shen Nian blushed deeply. "Excellent" goes without saying!

Chairman Ren looked at Shen Nian with a kind smile and returned the design plan and drawings that she had just left behind to her.

"this is for you."

Shen Nian took it, feeling even more hopeless.

Just as she was about to leave, the other person called her back and said, "I've seen your design proposal and drawings."

Hearing that the other party had already reviewed the plan, Shen Nian's heart jumped again.

The next second, I heard the other person continue, "The plan is well done. We can go to the company next Monday to discuss it in detail."

Shen Nian's eyes lit up. "Really? Thank you, Chairman Ren."

"Your proposal is indeed excellent, and you earned this opportunity yourself." After saying this, Chairman Ren smiled, nodded, and left the rest area.

Shen Nian hugged the design plan she had worked on for several sleepless nights, and the design drafts she had drawn were so exciting that she felt like crying.

It turns out that hard work really does pay off.

"Xiao Wu, pinch me." Shen Nian's eyes were still fixed on Chairman Ren, who had already entered the banquet hall, as if she was wondering if she had just imagined it.

Lu Yan gently patted her shoulder, "It's true, not a hallucination. He wants you to bring the proposal to his company on Monday."

"That's fantastic!" Shen Nian jumped up on the spot, overjoyed.

"I never thought I'd actually have the chance to meet with them in person. I wonder what I need to prepare for going to Shengshi Group on Monday. I need to go back and check if the plan can be optimized, and the drawings might also need some revisions..."

Even after her initial excitement subsided, Shen Nian remained animated, chattering away. It was clear that this was her first time independently negotiating a collaboration, and she was both thrilled and a little nervous.

Lu Yan smiled as he looked at her happy expression, and seemed to understand why his second brother had failed. His second sister-in-law was really like a little sun, perfect for illuminating someone like his second brother who had lacked love since childhood.

The reason he was pressured by his family to get married but hadn't settled down was actually because of his older brothers.

They can all find good partners, be together for life, and love each other dearly, so why can't he?

Lu Xiaowu's views on love have been ingrained in his bones; he absolutely refuses to accept anyone he doesn't like, and would rather stay single than compromise.

Grandpa Lu simply couldn't do anything about him!

"Second sister-in-law, you should go change your clothes. You've already achieved your goal, so you can't possibly want to stay and work as a waitress any longer," Lu Yan reminded Shen Nian.

Shen Nian then remembered that she was still a part-time employee at the hotel.

She planned to talk to her supervisor and explain that there was an urgent matter at home and she couldn't do the part-time job anymore. Anyway, the banquet was almost over and they weren't busy at the moment, so it wouldn't interfere with their normal work.

Shen Nian handed the documents in her hand to Lu Yan, "Xiao Wu, can you hold this for me? I'll go tell the supervisor and I'll be right back."

Lu Yan took the thick stack of documents from Shen Nian's hand. As soon as he looked up, he saw someone appear in the lounge and walk towards them.

"I'm telling you, you absolutely mustn't tell your second brother that I'm working part-time as a waiter. If I don't tell him, he'll definitely be angry," Shen Nian reminded Lu Yan.

Lu Yan, holding the documents, looked into the distance and cleared his throat. "Ahem~ Second Sister-in-law, why don't you turn around and take a look first..."

"What's wrong?" Shen Nian asked curiously, raising her eyebrows.

Then he turned his head to look over there.

When I saw the person standing not far away, I was dumbfounded!
