Chapter 172: Chapter 172: Why Does President Shen Dislike Me?

"President Shen." Assistant Chen handed over the clothes.

As Shen Yi put on his coat, he said, "I remember there is another one, you should change quickly as well."

"Okay." Assistant Chen didn’t refuse; having followed Shen Yi for many years, he knew that his boss never hesitated to do whatever he could for the people around him.

Since there was work to follow, they went straight back to the office.

Soon, a knocking sound was heard in the office, and Shen Yi didn’t even look up as he said, "Come in."

Next, Shen Yi heard the "clack clack" of high heels on the floor—it was clear that the person who came in wasn’t Assistant Chen. Shen Yi paused in his task and looked up.

When he saw who entered, Shen Yi’s frown was barely perceptible.

Fang Xian came over with a cup of ginger tea and placed it on Shen Yi’s desk before politely retreating two steps.

She looked at the man sitting in front of the desk, her tone neither humble nor arrogant, "Director Zhang said you got caught in the rain. He asked me to bring you a cup of ginger tea to ward off the chill so you don’t catch a cold."

"No need," Shen Yi refused without a second thought and then lowered his head to continue working on the documents.

However, Fang Xian showed no signs of leaving. After a few seconds of silence, she asked, "Does President Shen dislike ginger tea?"

Still looking down, Shen Yi’s frown deepened as he answered with barely suppressed irritation, "No."

He did not indeed dislike ginger tea; he just disliked Fang Xian—even without any reason, he just couldn’t stand her.

So, by association, he didn’t want anything to do with the ginger tea she brought either.

Fang Xian also frowned and asked bluntly, "Then does President Shen have any objections to me?"

Shen Yi stopped flipping through the documents once again, raising his eyes to look at the woman standing before him. Unlike before, his impatience was now completely unmasked.

"Hasn’t anyone ever taught you to read the room in the workplace?" asked Shen Yi with a stern voice.

From the moment he heard the name Fang Xian, he had felt a baseless distaste for her.

Since his dislike was without reason, and considering that Fang Xian wasn’t directly under him, even their work interactions were sparse.

Even though he disliked her, he hadn’t done anything to her.

But his inaction did not mean he couldn’t act; if he wanted, just one word from him would suffice for Fang Xian to disappear completely from the company.

But why couldn’t she read his expression? He was already showing impatience, and yet she didn’t know to back off a bit?

Fang Xian turned pale, evidently not expecting Shen Yi to be so blunt.

After a few seconds of silence, Fang Xian still couldn’t help herself and pushed the issue, "I haven’t made any mistakes in my work and haven’t offended President Shen in private. Why do you dislike me?"

Shen Yi’s lips curled up into a smirk, a hint of mockery in his smile, "I suppose I don’t need to justify to anyone why I dislike someone, do I?"

"But..." Fang Xian’s rebuttal emerged but then abruptly stopped, as she didn’t know what to say next.

"Take your ginger tea and leave, I don’t need it. If you still want to keep your job in this company, stay away from me," Shen Yi said unceremoniously, his expression icy.

Gathering her courage, Fang Xian made eye contact with Shen Yi for two seconds before finally picking up the cup of ginger tea and quickly walking out of the office.

Her retreating figure seemed almost like a hasty escape.
