Five years after my wife's death, she came back!

Shang's Group, conference room.

The person on stage was giving a long and detailed presentation on the latest quarterly proposal for communication product planning, while the management and employees below listened attentively.

However, curious glances kept falling on the man sitting in the main seat.

Mr. Shang seems a little distracted today?

Shang Chenyan held a fountain pen in his hand, tapping lightly on the documents on the table.

He and Shi Ying haven't spoken a single word since he left on Saturday.

Shi Ying applied to Cheng Ting to continue following up on the Lushan Golf Course project. Jiang Wenlai had asked him about it, and Shang Chenyan agreed.

He knew she was trying to avoid him by going on fieldwork.

He didn't know how to face her yet.

She will leave Jiangcheng in a year, or rather, she will leave her own world in a year.

But why exactly?

Shang Chenyan was completely baffled.

Shi Ying is an orphan. Whether five years ago or now, her background is very simple and plain. No relatives or friends can be found. If you check the schools listed on her resume, you can indeed find her records in elementary, middle and high school. However, when you ask her teachers, they have no impression of her at all.

It was as if she had suddenly appeared out of thin air in this world.

Shang Chenyan's hand holding the pen paused, then suddenly, out of thin air...

Could it be that she isn't even from this world?

That's why she suddenly disappeared and then suddenly reappeared, leaving no trace whatsoever.

With technology so advanced these days, Shang Chenyan had no doubt that a more advanced spacetime existed beyond this world. Therefore, could Shi Ying have come here from a more advanced civilization...?

Shang Chenyan pressed his temples; this guess was somewhat beyond his comprehension.

But he still wanted to figure it all out; he wanted to keep her.

"President Shang?" After Director Li finished his report, he saw Shang Chenyan staring blankly at the big screen without any reaction. His heart jumped into his throat.

Shang Chenyan snapped out of his reverie and glanced at the screen: "Is that all you wanted to say?"

"Yes...yes...In the new quarter, we plan to build an integrated intelligent platform for communication users, mainly focusing on functions such as user behavior prediction and GIS tracking, focusing on efficiency, deepening cost reduction and efficiency improvement, and promoting digital empowerment..."

Shang Chenyan interrupted him: "Don't I have eyes? I can't read what you wrote in the PRD? Do you really need to spend half an hour reading it aloud in the meeting?"

"Focus on efficiency, cost reduction and efficiency improvement. The purpose of this meeting is to discuss whether your proposed plan is reasonable, how you plan to reduce costs, and how you plan to improve efficiency. I only look at actual data, not to listen to your empty talk."

Director Li quickly clicked on another section of the PPT: "No, Mr. Shang, we have a detailed plan for its implementation."

Shang Chenyan frowned as he looked at the densely packed text on the document: "Are you planning to show your proposal to the client like this? Do you need a magnifying glass?"

Director Li's face flushed with anxiety: "It was my oversight, I will plan the PPT slides more properly..."

"What you need to plan isn't the visuals." Shang Chenyan threw down his pen with a soft thud that sent chills down the spines of everyone in the conference room.

"What you should be planning is your mind."

Shang Chenyan stood up: "Using such shoddy work is a waste of time. I think cutting you out would be a better way to reduce costs and increase efficiency."

Everyone was stunned.

"Submit the new plan tomorrow."

After uttering his last words, Shang Chenyan left.

The people in the conference room looked at each other in bewilderment.

Director Li was almost in tears: So fierce! QAQ

In the afternoon, Shang Chenyan sat in his office, looking at the lightning and thunder outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, feeling extremely bad.

Jiang Wen knocked and came in: "President Shang, the weather forecast just said there might be a severe rainstorm tonight. Would you like to go home early?"

Shang Chenyan glanced at his watch; it was three in the afternoon.

He had been sitting in his office for three hours straight.

It was gloomy outside, and the rain was getting heavier.

"Tell them they can leave work now, and we'll let them know tomorrow, depending on the weather, whether they need to come to the company or not."

Typhoon weather is not uncommon in coastal Jiangcheng, and this was not the first time Jiang Wen had encountered such a situation. He quickly figured out what to do.

"Okay, then you should go back early too."

Jiang Wen had just walked out of the office when he suddenly turned back, stood by the door, and said, "By the way, Miss Shi went to Lushan Stadium today. I wonder if she's come back yet."

Shang Chenyan immediately shot her gaze to him: "She hasn't come back yet?"

Jiang Wen smiled and said, "No, do you think we should send someone to pick her up? After all, Lushan is too remote, and it's not easy to get a taxi there."

Before he could finish speaking, Shang Chenyan had already strode out.

Jiang Wen stood still and shrugged.

Lushan Golf Course.

When it started raining around noon, people began to leave the stadium one after another.

However, Shi Ying stayed in the office organizing documents. Cheng Ting had given her a lot of things, and she was so focused on them that she didn't notice the rain getting heavier and heavier.

Seeing that there were hardly any people left in the stadium, Shi Ying anxiously stood at the gate trying to hail a taxi, but no driver accepted her request after waiting for more than ten minutes on her phone.

The wind was strong, making her shiver, but she was afraid that if she went into the lobby she would miss the passing taxis, so Shi Ying could only hide behind a pillar, stamping her feet and craning her neck to see if any cars would pass by.

The weather in Jiangcheng is so unpredictable. Yesterday it was sunny, and today it's pouring rain.

It's not as good as Yuncheng at all.

Shi Ying silently complained.

Rainwater drifted in, soaking her clothes. The downpour was so heavy that she couldn't even see the road ahead.

Shi Ying was looking at her phone when she unconsciously clicked on someone's contact information.

But after hesitating for a long time, she was too embarrassed to press the button.

"well..."

With a sigh, Shi Ying seemed to hear the sound of a horn. She quickly looked up and saw the glaring lights standing out clearly in the rain.

Shang Chenyan parked the car outside the gate. It was too dark to hold an umbrella in this weather. He quickly got out of the car and walked towards her.

It wasn't until he got close that Shi Ying could see his face clearly.

"Shang Chenyan..."

She thought she was dreaming.

Shang Chenyan walked up to her, pulled her into his arms, and wrapped his coat around her cold body.

"Are you stupid? You've been waiting here without calling me!"

"I..." Shi Ying felt embarrassed. She had already refused him, and it would be too awkward to bother him again.

I'll educate you when we get home.

Shang Chenyan forcefully hugged her and led her towards the car.

A cold wind howled and a torrential rain poured down. Shi Ying seemed to see that day at the concert again, when he always appeared just in time when she was helpless.

In her twenty years of life, no one had ever been like him.

Shi Ying couldn't tell if the water on her face was rain or tears, and she couldn't help but feel sad.

Just as she reached the car and was about to open the door, she suddenly heard a crackling sound. Before she could react, Shang Chenyan pulled her into his arms, bracing his hands on the car and trapping her between his embrace and the car door.

With a loud bang, Shi Ying closed her eyes in fright.

Shang Chenyan couldn't help but let out a muffled groan from the pain.

The large "GG" sign standing next to the gate was blown over by the wind and fell straight down, hitting him.

Shi Ying stared in shock at the blood seeping from his shoulder.

"you..."

Shang Chenyan removed the "GG" sign, opened the car door for her, pushed her inside, and then went around to the other side to get in the car himself.

Before he could even sit down properly, Shi Ying rushed over to check his injuries: "Are you bleeding? Did you hit your head?"

Shang Chenyan's vision went black for a moment; he had indeed been hit on the back of the head. It took him a while to regain his senses.

"It's alright," he reassured her.

"How come you're alright? We need to get to the hospital right away!"

"Okay, let's go to the hospital." Shang Chenyan held her hand. His hand was warm, which eased Shi Ying's pale face slightly.

When they returned to the villa, the doctor was already waiting inside.

After an examination, it was found that his shoulder bone was slightly injured, but fortunately his brain was not damaged.

After the doctor left, Shang Chenyan looked at Shi Ying, who had remained silent.

Before he could speak, he heard Shi Ying's soft voice:

"Shang Chenyan, are you worth a million?"
