Chapter 157: Chapter 157 Emotional Value

"I’ll be a bit late, wait for me a few minutes."

"No problem, take your time."

Shen Siyuan intended to leave on time, but he couldn’t manage to escape.

Because Zhou Chuan asked him to hand over some work to Chen Hao, Shen Siyuan had to make sure everything was clear to him, which caused a bit of a delay.

When he left the office, the corridor was already full of colleagues leaving work, all queuing to clock out.

Ding Youguang was also there, though Zhou Zhengdao was nowhere to be seen, which made sense since he was staying late to work overtime as a programmer, which is the norm for him.

"Are you going back tonight, or tomorrow morning?" Ding Youguang asked.

"Tomorrow morning."

"Then how about going out for barbecue tonight? My treat," offered Ding Youguang.

"I’ve got some things to handle tonight, but remember, you owe me a meal."

"F*ck, we’re keeping tabs now? Wait, you’re not going on a date tonight, are you?" Ding Youguang suddenly realized.

"Hehe~" Shen Siyuan chuckled, indirectly confirming it.

"Li Qunfang said your girlfriend is gorgeous, how gorgeous? Show me," he leaned in with a cheeky look.

"There will be a chance, you better go home and spend time with your wife, don’t always think about hanging out."

Ding Youguang has a wife; they were college classmates. He is from Weihai, but his wife is a local from Bin Hai, coming from a well-to-do family that was initially somewhat disdainful of Ding Youguang.

However, Ding Youguang is capable and ambitious. Not long after graduating, he started an advertising company using some college connections, and he did quite well, making a good sum of money.

Thus, his father-in-law finally agreed to their marriage. But after marrying, his business declined and his company closed, which is why he then joined Guanghui Animation.

Guanghui Animation was also one of his previous business partners, and he knew the boss, so even after joining, his salary was not low. Nonetheless, he was still not satisfied with his current situation and was always looking for new opportunities to make money.

But his career wasn’t looking up, and his wife was recently pregnant, so he was still quite stressed.

As they talked, it finally became their turn to clock out.

But when they reached the elevator, they found a large crowd waiting there.

Shen Siyuan decided not to wait and took the stairs instead.

Seeing this, Ding Youguang followed.

Many people would rather wait for tens of minutes for the elevator than take the stairs because those working office jobs are generally not very physically fit.

But clearly, Ding Youguang, being a northerner, was an exception, his physical condition was truly commendable.

"Si Yuan."

As Shen Siyuan reached the lobby, Ruan Hongzhuang waved and approached him.

Ding Youguang looked at Ruan Hongzhuang, then turned back to Shen Siyuan, his face full of astonishment.

"You guessed it right, my girlfriend," Shen Siyuan said.

Ruan Hongzhuang looked quite impressive, with elegant and dignified features, a charming figure, and she seemed to have made up specially today, her hair pinned at the back of her head, revealing her slender neck.

Dressed in a ladies’ casual suit, she looked very mature and competent.

She approached and directly linked her arm with Shen Siyuan’s, greeting Ding Youguang.

"Hello."

"Hello, I’m Ding Youguang, a friend of Shen Siyuan."

"Ruan Hongzhuang, Si Yuan’s girlfriend," Ruan Hongzhuang leaned her head against Shen Siyuan’s shoulder.

At this time, many colleagues leaving work glanced over in their direction.

A beauty like Ruan Hongzhuang naturally drew attention, and although Shen Siyuan and the others were not close colleagues, they were familiar enough to be surprised by their intimate appearance.

Of course, the most surprised were a few colleagues from the operations department; they had run faster and just in time saw the scene of Ruan Hongzhuang linking arms with Shen Siyuan.

"Shen Siyuan, your girlfriend?" Li Kang was the first to ask.

Zhou Chuan and Tian Yunrui, along with a few others, looked at him as if he were an idiot.

Are you an idiot? And why are you even coming forward at this time?

But since Li Kang spoke to him, Shen Siyuan couldn’t just ignore it.

So he had no choice but to introduce Ruan Hongzhuang to everyone, including Lin Manzhi and Li Wenjuan.

"Truly beautiful."

Lin Manzhi couldn’t help but sigh internally, Jiang Tingyu lost without injustice, she would choose the one in front of her too.

Shen Siyuan suspected this was Ruan Hongzhuang’s intent, though she had agreed to wait in the car, she ended up coming to the company lobby.

"Let’s go." After the introductions, Shen Siyuan was ready to leave with Ruan Hongzhuang.

Just then, Li Kang chimed in, "Where are you guys going? Do you want me to drive you?"

Zhou Chuan and the others looked at him again as if he were an idiot. Do you think someone with her looks and poise can’t afford a car?

Tian Yunrui quickly tried to ease the awkwardness: "It should be me giving a ride, Shen Siyuan and I are heading in the same direction."

He was right, Shen Siyuan and Tian Yunrui lived in the same direction.

"No need, thank you both, I drove here." said Ruan Hongzhuang.

Then they saw Ruan Hongzhuang’s red Ferrari.

"Damn it..." everyone cursed under their breath.

It’s hard to see a friend struggle, but it’s harder to see them driving a luxury car.

Shen Siyuan’s elitist behavior annoyed them.

Seeing Shen Siyuan leaving, Tian Yunrui immediately seized the opportunity to mock Li Kang.

"You still want to give a ride? She drives a Ferrari, and you drive a Mazda. Can you even compare? Oh, but I guess it’s not impossible, you both have cars."

"Not true, they’re both red too." Wang Chao added from the side.

"Ha ha..." everyone laughed.

"That’s a Langyi, not a Mazda."

"Does it matter?"

"Aren’t you also offering a ride?" Li Kang snapped.

"Idiot, I was trying to help you out. Didn’t you see her watch and the bag she was carrying? Do you think she can’t afford her own car?" Tian Yunrui retorted.

The others didn’t intervene, just giggled watching the two bicker and occasionally adding fuel to the fire.

Because this was one of the few comedic moments in their work.

But somehow, as they argued, it ended up with Zhou Chuan having to treat everyone to a barbecue that night.

Zhou Chuan was also baffled as he was just watching from the side. How did this involve him?

But as soon as they heard "barbecue", everyone perked up and crowded around Zhou Chuan.

After all, he was the boss. If he didn’t treat, who would?

The sturdy Tian Yunrui and the tall Lu Ran directly sandwiched him in the middle, not letting him escape, almost like a kidnapping.

The crowd was uproarious, and the atmosphere was filled with joy.

"Don’t worry about the money, keep the receipts, we’ll reimburse them next time." Lin Manzhi comforted.

During company holidays, they would distribute a certain amount of money for departmental meals as a holiday benefit and to facilitate bonding.

Everyone laughed and joked again.

This is also why, despite the low salary at Guanghui Animation, many people hadn’t left the job.

You have to aim for either work value or emotional value.

If you aim for neither, that’s slavery.
