The CEO's Paranoid and Spoiled Wife
Chapter 623 - 620: Is it to coax the child or to coax the wife?

Chapter 623: Chapter 620: Is it to coax the child or to coax the wife?

But Shen Yi didn’t care about these, he continued to handle work and later there was a dinner engagement he had to attend.

The dinner tonight was attended with Assistant Chen by his side, just as they entered the private room, Shen Yi immediately became the protagonist of the dinner.

Fang Xian was also among them, which Shen Yi had known before arriving.

Logically speaking, Fang Xian shouldn’t have appeared in such a setting, she was only qualified to be at that dining table by basking in the light of Jiyang Industries.

Shen Yi took the seat of honor and looked very relaxed, unlike the seriousness when he was working, yet even sitting there at ease, that was a composure only a superior possessed.

"Thought Boss Shen was so smitten with the tender passion that he had lost interest in work," said the one beside Shen Yi, raising his glass in a jest.

Shen Yi also smiled lightly and clinked his glass gently, "That won’t do, I’ve still got to make money to provide for the family."

"Mrs. Shen probably doesn’t lack the bit Boss Shen earns."

"Earning a bit more is always right," Shen Yi said with a laugh, and drank the wine in his glass.

There were other women at the table, but they could chat easily with the people next to them, only Fang Xian never managed to join their conversations.

Apart from Zhou Yuntao, the future heir of Jiyang Industries beside her, nobody paid any attention to Fang Xian.

Frankly speaking, all the people at the table were so-called high society, either already heirs to family businesses or ready to inherit, like Fang Xian, with no status or background, shouldn’t have been sitting there at all.

Of course, the main reason was that all these people were the shrewdest of the shrewd, the way Shen Yi had acted when Zhou Yuntao brought Fang Xian to toast him just now was thought-provoking, so they naturally wouldn’t give Fang Xian face anymore.

Throughout the meal, Fang Xian felt like she was on pins and needles, always believing that based on her own abilities, she had attained a certain level of face.

But today’s dinner sharply slapped Fang Xian’s face, bringing her back to reality, the smile on her face was almost unbearable to keep up.

She couldn’t just leave her seat right now, with all the CEOs and general managers still at the table, leaving early, as a department manager at the company, would have been out of the question.

However, the more she remained seated, the more uncontrollable the indignation in Fang Xian’s heart became, envy kept surging from the depths of her heart.

No matter how hard she, someone like her, worked, she would never reach the level of those high society young masters and mistresses.

Even though those people didn’t achieve their success through their own abilities, they still looked down upon someone like her.

Why?

What right did these people have?

The dinner went on until after nine and there was no sign of it ending, Shen Yi had picked up his phone several times already.

The last time, Shen Yi didn’t put the phone back on the table, but whispered something to Assistant Chen beside him, and then Assistant Chen stood up and left.

Everyone watched as Assistant Chen got up, shifting their attention to him until he had left, then Shen Yi picked up the last bit of wine left in his glass, "It’s getting late, and I still have to go home and get the kid to sleep, let’s call it a night."

Some with a closer relationship to Shen Yi couldn’t help joking, "Boss Shen is in such a hurry to get back, is it to coax the kid or the wife?"

Shen Yi responded with a smile, "Got to coax both; any later and it might not go well, I hope you all understand."

Shen Yi lifted his head slightly and downed the remaining wine, then set the glass down, "We’ll make another plan another time."
