The meeting that followed went on without Shen Yi being distracted again, but it was clear to anyone with eyes that Manager Shen was out of sorts today.
And this was something that had never happened before.
After the meeting had ended and he returned to his office, Shen Yi checked the time; it was half past four. He took out his phone, intending to call Ye Wanwan.
But when he was about to make the call, he hesitated and eventually sent a WeChat message to Ye Wanwan, saying he would pick her up after work.
Whatever Ye Wanwan was doing on her end, Shen Yi waited for a while but didn't get a reply from her, and his expression grew increasingly grim.
Assistant Chen knocked and then came in from outside, "Manager Shen, tonight..."
"I have something else to attend to and need to leave first," Shen Yi interrupted Assistant Chen before he could finish, rising from his seat and striding out.
