"As long as you figure it out." Gu Chengyan patted Lin Man's hair, his smile widened, he glanced at her frustrated expression, and couldn't help but add, "Actually, you have always been special to me."

Lin Man raised his eyes and saw Gu Chengyan's crooked eyes.

The weather turned cold, so he added a blue turtleneck sweater under his lab coat, with the collar just reaching his chin, and a pair of thin metal-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, making him gentle and quiet.

She nodded and said with a smile, "Brother Chengyan is still as good at coaxing people as ever."

Disappointment flashed across Gu Chengyan's eyes, but it disappeared immediately, and he still had a smile on his face: "Okay, just be sweet, are you in a better mood?"

Lin Man nodded. She always kept her personal affairs and work very separate.

She knows very well that if she brings her emotions to work, it will easily lead to various mistakes.

"Then you have to attend the party happily tonight and don't look like such a sad face again, otherwise you won't be able to have a good time."

Lin Man paused and didn't respond, "What kind of party?"

"The orientation party in the laboratory, you are really confused by the excitement. You don't know what day it is." Gu Chengyan wanted to pat Lin Man on the back, but suddenly thought of her back being injured, so he tugged on her ponytail.

.

Lin Man covered his hair with both hands and glared at Gu Chengyan with an unhappy pout.

Gu Chengyan laughed.

Two seconds later, he suddenly became serious, half-bent, and stretched out his hand towards Lin Man: "So, Ms. Lin Man, are you willing to be my female companion tonight?"

Lin Man deliberately pretended to tilt his head to think, and replied vaguely, "It depends on my mood!"

"Then I'll wait for your news. By the way, do you want your dress to be size S or size XS?"

Lin Man didn't have the habit of letting others prepare the dress for her. She always felt uncomfortable, so she said, "I'll prepare it myself."

"Okay, let's go there together tonight."

Gu Chengyan had just taken two steps when two little girls from the laboratory came over. They were too shy to look up at him, but after pushing each other for a while, one of them plucked up the courage and turned red in the face.

"Dr. Gu, can I be your female companion tonight?"

Gu Chengyan smiled and politely refused, "Sorry, I already have a female companion."

"Ah? Sorry to bother you." The two of them didn't dare to look up and ran away in disappointment.

Gu Chengyan turned around and gave Lin Man a look, "Look, I'm very popular. If you don't decide early, I might run away with someone else."

Lin Man smiled and waved her hand, "Isn't that good? Aunt Liang has hope for her grandson."

Gu Chengyan's face darkened instantly, his gaze fell on Lin Man, and he looked at it for two seconds before turning around and leaving.

Lin Man always felt that when Gu Chengyan left, his eyes looked strange and resentful.

This year's orientation party is a little different. Not only people within the laboratory gather to have fun, but also many figures from the business community are invited. It is not so much an orientation party as it is the first step in connecting the laboratory with the business community.

Lin Man didn't want to reveal that she was a member of the laboratory too early. Fortunately, she rarely showed up in the laboratory. During this period of time, not many people in the laboratory knew about her.

It was easy to gag. As for Su Mingxuan, she didn't want him to go at all.

Going there will also ruin the image of the laboratory.

Lin Man mentioned his concerns to the person in charge, who expressed confusion, "Do you really want to hide your identity? As the second-in-command of Snapdragon Labs, once this identity is released, I don't know how many people will fawn over it."

Object."

Lin Man shook his head, "No, now is not the time."

After reporting to the person in charge, Lin Man went to the mall to prepare his evening dress.

She went straight to the big-name store, and by chance, she met Shen Xiayun and Su Qianxin who were also choosing dresses.

When the two parties met, the atmosphere was not right.

Lin Man took a fancy to a red waist skirt. Just as he was about to reach out, the dress was taken away by Shen Xiayun first. Seeing Lin Man looking over, Shen Xiayun slightly raised the corner of his mouth.

Then he turned the tag over casually and said, "Sixty-eight thousand."

"You have pretty good taste." She said and looked at Lin Man, "It's really not your own money. You just don't feel bad about spending it."

Shen Xiayun looked Lin Man up and down again, not hiding his disdain, "I think your leather jacket, tight pants, and Martin boots are quite good. What kind of dress do you want to buy? You can travel all over the world with just this outfit." .”

Lin Man narrowed her eyes slightly and translated Shen Xiayun's words. Doesn't it mean that she is not worthy?

Su Qian was happy to watch the excitement from the sidelines. With Shen Xiayun there, she didn't need to take action.

The two people made it clear that they were looking for trouble. Lin Man was in a bad mood and didn't want to cause trouble with them, so he turned around and walked out.

Who knew that Shen Xiayun would not let him go and insisted on holding Lin Man back.

"Want to leave? That's not possible. If you meet me today, I have to teach you what it means not to be greedy for what is not yours." She said with a look of arrogance.

Lin Man's face also darkened, and he was very impatient, "What on earth do you want to do?"

"You are just an ordinary college student. Logically speaking, you don't have the money to buy such an expensive dress. But since you have stepped into this store, it means you have money in your pocket, so take out the card Shen Lian gave you."

Shen Xiayun had no other intention, he just wanted to embarrass Lin Man.

Lin Manli didn't want to pay attention to her. He stepped out and wanted to walk from the side, but Shen Xiayun noticed her intention and stumbled to the side to stop her.

Lin Man paused, then raised his eyes to look at Shen Xiayun, the corners of his mouth tightened.

"With so many people, it's ugly to make a fuss." Shen Xiayun slowly stretched out his hand towards Lin Man, "Bring it here."

Don't say that what she spent wasn't Shen Lian's money. Even if it was, given Shen Xiayun's attitude of catching a thief, she wouldn't give it to him.

Why should it be Shen Xiayun's turn to ask for something given by Shen Lian?

She directly raised her hand and pushed Shen Xiayun aside, without intending to explain more: "You asked me for something from Shen Lian, did you tell Shen Lian?"

Shen Xiayun was suffocated and subconsciously glanced to the left, but then returned to his strong look, "I'm here to ask for something from our Shen family. What's wrong with that?"

Lin Man raised the corner of his mouth slightly, glanced at Shen Xiayun's face, and said mockingly: "What if I don't give it to you?"

She didn't believe that Shen Xiayun could come and snatch it in full view of everyone.

Shen Xiayun didn't expect Lin Man to be such a rogue. In desperation, he called the clerk to stop her: "If I don't give it, then you won't even think about stepping out of this store today."

This shopping mall has investment from the Shen family, and Shen Xiayun is here to make all the changes.

Lin Man didn't want to go to Shen Lian, and glanced at Shen Xiayun and Su Qianxin, ready to pick up a soft persimmon. It happened that at this time, a blue figure walked into the store.

"I just walked away for a while and you disappeared. I told you that I would prepare a dress for you, but you have to choose it yourself. Which one do you like? I'll go check out." Gu Chengyan walked over, as if he didn't notice anything was wrong. He just smiled and patted Lin Man's shoulder, pushing her away from Shen Xiayun's oppressive range.

Shen Xiayun looked at Gu Chengyan several times, assessing the relationship between the two and despising Lin Man even more.

"Another one, Lin Man, you are really capable." She didn't know Gu Chengyan, she just thought he was the rich second generation of some family, so she spoke without any scruples.

Anyway, no matter how big it is, it cannot be bigger than the Shen family.
