The Sighing Rose (26)

Chapter Twenty-Six: Birthday Party

After work, Yi Han hitched a ride home with Kevin. In the car, she couldn't help but complain to him, "You
bastard just to please Sucy? How am I supposed to tell Old Chen when I get back? He doesn't really like going to parties and such anymore."

"You think I'm doing this to curry favor with her? I'm just getting angrier and angrier with Sucy's arrogant attitude. Asking Brother Chen tonight was the wisest choice to curb her ever-growing sense of superiority. I'll make her swallow the bitter fruit of her own actions, hehe."

Yi Han glanced at him. "Why are you suddenly so confident in him? Didn't you see how capable Sucy's boyfriend is? He's also incredibly shrewd." "

I've always admired Brother Chen's intelligence and talent. Those two pretentious people can't compare. They just like to put on an act in front of everyone, pretending to be all lovey-dovey. It's so fake," Kevin said dismissively. Kevin had had tea with Mr. Chen and his team a couple of times
before and had a pretty good impression of him.

"He's really enjoying family life now, finally able to do things he likes, unlike before when he was always buried in work. We two like to hang out at home in the evenings when we have nothing to do. How am I going to convince him to attend this kind of gathering?" Yi Han said, troubled.

"Hmph, you're not worried that Mr. Chen will be captivated by Sucy the moment he sees her, are you? She really is a stunning beauty, her figure is more than enough to be a model! Apart from her terrible personality, I really can't find any other flaws." Kevin used reverse psychology.

"Pshaw, I'm not afraid of that. You have no idea how much Mr. Chen is infatuated with me! I admit I'm not as good as Sucy in every way. She's a recognized goddess, and I'm just a maid at best, hehe. But... I have my own trump card. Mr. Chen is so good to me now, he treats me like a princess. I'm worried he'll spoil me, haha." Yi Han's face was filled with a happy smile.

"Your secret weapon is these two lumps on your chest, isn't it? Brother Chen must need to suck on them every night to fall asleep, hehe." Kevin chuckled lewdly, even poking at them with his finger. The two of them were
usually very close, always joking and teasing each other.

"You're going to die! How dare you touch me like that? If it weren't for the fact that you're my best friend, I would definitely slap you across the face! I'd turn your pretty face into a pig's head in an instant! Let's see if any handsome guys will still like you! Humph, I have many secret tricks up my sleeve, how would you know them?" Yi Han pinched Kevin's thigh hard, a
confident smile on her face.

Kevin groaned, "You little brat, you really went all out! Brother Chen must have suffered a lot at home!
Okay, back to the point, with your charm, persuading him is a piece of cake, right? Use your beauty to your advantage, cling to him, first rub your breasts against him a few times, then say a few sweet words in a coquettish voice, while stroking his body. I believe he'll submit in no time! Haha!" Kevin had an
expression that said he knew men all too well.

"Ugh, you never say anything serious! Just so you know, if I can't handle it tonight, you have to help us out!"

"Don't worry, with Sucy's IQ, I don't believe she can pull any tricks! I'm currently in Cao Ying's camp but my heart is with Han, I'll definitely help you secretly." Kevin excitedly rubbed his hands together, looking eager to
see the show.

At 9:00 AM sharp, Mr. Chen and Yi Han arrived at Room 308 of the Bailu Hotel. Pushing open the door, their eyes lit up; this was probably the largest room they had ever seen, easily over 200 square meters. The room was long and narrow, luxuriously decorated with a birthday atmosphere and a strong Korean style.

The central section was for karaoke, consisting of ten tables laden with various drinks, snacks, and fruits. Each table was surrounded by people; some were playing dice, some were playing games like 15 or 20, some were playing simple rock-paper-scissors, and of course, some were singing. A 100-inch high-definition projection screen hung on the opposite wall, providing a truly stunning visual experience!

On one side was an activity area with a 50-inch LCD TV and a Microsoft Xone motion-sensing game console. Several young people were enthusiastically playing a sports game, looking quite excited and engaged! On the other side was a small bar with individual lighting effects that created a warm and romantic atmosphere, perfect for customers to relax after karaoke. A few men were playing darts there. There were also restrooms at both ends of the room – truly comprehensive and well-equipped.

As soon as Kevin saw them enter, he warmly greeted them with "Brother Chen," led them to their
reserved seats, and introduced them. Yihan was undoubtedly the second leading lady of the evening, so she sat at the head table with Mr. Chen. Their arrival immediately became the focus of the party, with everyone's attention on them.

Yihan was the only beauty in the company who could rival Sucy, and a goddess in the eyes of many male colleagues.
Her boyfriend, however, had long been a figure of interest, only known through Kevin's words
. Everyone was eager to see him in person! To see what made Yihan's boyfriend so special that he had won the goddess's favor!

To prepare for tonight's birthday party, Sucy got a perm with a reddish-brown color after work. It has to be admitted that the hairstyle suits her perfectly, showcasing her fashionable and radiant charm. The beautiful reddish-brown color further accentuates Sucy's snow-white skin, and her thick, side-swept bangs make her look even cuter and more playful. Coupled with a pink dress, a Tiffany necklace given to her by Ze Shao, and exquisite makeup, Sucy looks like a beautiful and noble princess, instantly becoming the undisputed star of the party! Sitting next to her, Ze Shao is as handsome and dashing as ever, exuding an extraordinary aura—truly a perfect couple!

Across from them sits Yi Han, whose attire is more casual. Yi Han is practically makeup-free, only wearing a touch of lipstick, her hair simply tied back in a ponytail, her expression serene and composed, like a lotus emerging from clear water. If Sucy was like a vibrant peony tonight, then Yihan was like a fresh lily.

Both beauties had their own strengths, and as the saying goes, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. The many men in the room automatically split into two camps, each supporting their own goddess. Clearly, in terms of popularity alone, the stunning Sucy was significantly more popular tonight.

While Sucy and Yihan could be considered to have their own merits in appearance, then President Chen was completely overshadowed by Young Master Ze. Firstly, in terms of age, President Chen's average looks and darker complexion clearly made him appear to be in his thirties, while Young Master Ze looked to be only in his early twenties—a true young talent!
In terms of height and appearance, President Chen had no advantage whatsoever. And in terms of family background and career, President Chen seemed even less significant. Young Master Ze is a second-generation rich kid, born with a silver spoon in his mouth. He took on the role of general manager of the family business at a young age. While other men at this age are still working hard to start their careers, Young Master Ze has already become a winner in life!

And what about General Manager Chen? He seemed to be unemployed... However, the confident composure and profound wisdom in his eyes made a few discerning individuals in the room sense that he must have something special about him, and perhaps one couldn't judge him simply by his appearance. General Manager Chen was now cultivating his character, concealing his brilliance, appearing like an ordinary person; most people couldn't see anything particularly remarkable about him.

After careful observation, others felt somewhat disappointed in General Manager Chen, wondering how someone with such qualities could have won Yi Han's favor. Many male colleagues even rekindled their desire to pursue Yi Han again!

Seeing the whispers and murmurs around him, General Manager Chen understood that they were unconsciously comparing him to Sucy's boyfriend, although this comparison was completely meaningless and illogical.

General Manager Chen smiled slightly, recalling the few days after leaving the company, when he had indeed felt a little lost. Having held a high-ranking position for many years, wielding immense power, practically second only to the emperor (an exaggeration), the sense of satisfaction and pride he felt was beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.

Approaching forty, a man at the peak of his maturity and ideal for further career advancement, retiring at this point inevitably brought a sense of loss and grievance. However, with Yi Han's careful guidance and a few days of quiet reflection, Mr. Chen began to enjoy this rare vacation, learning the true meaning of a simple life.

His past career, pursuits, and past pleasures were all fleeting. Some things are best experienced and forgotten; there's no need to cling to them as lifelong principles. Mr. Chen's current life goal is simple and clear: to be with Yi Han forever is enough. Once his family is settled, he'll seriously consider his future career, consolidating his position before making money; there will be plenty of opportunities later.

Watching the reactions of everyone present, Sucy felt an unprecedented sense of exhilaration, her eyes filled with pride and superiority—exactly the effect she wanted. Unexpectedly, the first round had barely begun when Yihan and her boyfriend were completely outmatched, seemingly with no chance of recovery. How were they supposed to continue this game? I'd been preparing meticulously for so long, you two better hold out a little longer, it wouldn't be fun if it ended too early.

"Brother Chen, I heard you're currently unemployed? Young Master Ze has a wide network of connections, why don't you ask him to keep an eye out for you?" Linda knew Sucy's intentions tonight, wanting to embarrass Yihan and President Chen to curry favor.

President Chen smiled sheepishly, "I've gotten used to being lazy, I'm afraid I wouldn't be up to the task of going back to work, so I won't trouble Young Master Ze!"

"How can that be? We can't keep letting Yihan... hehe, it's not good for Yihan to bear all the household expenses, is it? Wouldn't that make you a freeloader?" Linda used her sharp tongue to
launch a fierce attack on President Chen.

Many onlookers couldn't help but laugh out loud. "Brother Chen, you're getting on in years, not good enough for high-paying jobs but not good enough for low-paying ones. Staying cooped up at home like a shut-in isn't good enough. It's too unfair to Yihan. Let Ze Shao help you out!" Zixuan teased him from the side.

Sucy smiled without saying a word; this was exactly the effect she wanted. She nudged her boyfriend lightly with her elbow. Ze Shao understood immediately. "Brother Chen, what kind of work are you better at? What are your salary expectations? I can keep an eye out for you. Judging from your handsome appearance, you should be able to find an ideal job easily."

President Chen exchanged a wry smile with Yihan. "Tonight, those two are the main characters. Just go along with them for now. It's really unfair to you," Yihan whispered in his ear.

Mr. Chen gently squeezed Yi Han's small hand to indicate that it was alright. He smiled and looked directly into Ze Shao's eyes, "I've always been quite interested in the real estate industry."

The whole room erupted in an uproar. "Brother Chen, you really have lofty ambitions. Given time, your future will be limitless! I support you!" Linda was being sarcastic again, and she didn't forget to wink at Sucy. Sucy
smiled and nodded in approval. "That's no problem at all. I have many friends in the Shanghai real estate industry. As long as I say the word, they will definitely help out because of my connections. Brother Chen, what position do you want to pursue? Do you want to start as a copywriter or go into sales?" Ze Shao asked, looking at him with some hesitation.
"Looking at Brother Chen's refined appearance and quiet demeanor, he might not be suitable for sales. That requires a good capacity for alcohol and eloquence!" Zi Xuan said with a smile.

Kevin, who had been holding back for a long time, couldn't stand it any longer. "I think
the position of general manager would be more suitable for Brother Chen! You can consider it, Young Master Ze."

A sudden silence fell over the room. Everyone stared at Kevin in disbelief. After a while, they
burst into laughter, as if they all understood Kevin's lame joke. Sucy even
rolled her eyes at Kevin, thinking, "You're the best at putting people down.

You can insult without even using a swear word." Young Master Ze smiled and shook his head. "Kevin, stop messing around. I'm talking to Brother Chen about serious business! Alright,
Brother Chen, I know what you're thinking. I'll give you an answer in the next few days. However, the initial salary might not be very high. Just think of it as getting familiar with the industry and be patient for a while. The future trend of the real estate industry is indeed very good." Kevin could only shake his head and smile wryly.

President Chen secretly chuckled, but he couldn't be too explicit in front of everyone, lest it seem like he was showing off, and he would also go against his host's good intentions. He proactively shook hands with Ze Shao, a carefree smile on his face. "Then I'll trouble you. I'm really not in a hurry."

"Brother Chen, no need to be so polite. I felt an instant connection with you the moment we met. Your name also sounds very familiar. You could say we hit it off immediately. So I'm definitely going to help you out. Don't forget to treat us to coffee when you and Yi Han succeed!" Ze Shao said with a smile.

Everyone applauded, praising Ze Shao as a truly kind and generous person. Seeing her boyfriend receiving everyone's praise, Sucy beamed with joy and glanced smugly at Yi Han, thinking that even at this point, she could still maintain such composure; that was quite an achievement.

Seeing that Yi Han and President Chen were completely outmatched, Sucy gradually lost interest in them, singing and playing dice with her friends, leaving them out in the cold.

President Chen took Yi Han's hand and they sat down on a sofa in the nearby bar area to chat, completely unconcerned about the treatment they had just received. "Darling, I'm so sorry you had to go through all this. It's all my fault for insisting on bringing you here..." Yi Han linked her arm with his and rested her head on his shoulder.

"What nonsense are you talking about? If I couldn't even handle something like this, what would have happened if I hadn't been a leader before? I have that much magnanimity. Fame and fortune are just fleeting things to me now. As long as you're by my side, that's enough!" He said, kissing Yi Han's lips.

Yi Han kissed him tenderly for a while, then suddenly blushed and pulled Mr. Chen's mischievous hand out of her skirt, scolding softly, "Ugh, there are so many people around, don't you know how to be discreet? We'll talk about it when we get home tonight..."

Mr. Chen pulled Yi Han's hand and stood up. "It's too noisy in here. Let's go outside for some fresh air!" Yi Han wasn't used to this kind of setting, so she was more than happy to hear this. The two of them walked out of the private room hand in hand.

The two strolled down the corridor, admiring the surrounding decorations. Suddenly, Mr. Chen noticed an open door to a private room nearby. It was dark inside. Mr. Chen knew that at this hour, no one would be coming into the room. He glanced around, pulled Yi Han inside, and closed the door behind him.

"What do you want? Why did you bring me here? It's so dark, it's a little scary," Yi Han asked, puzzled.
