Chapter 1
Xiangjiang City.
Located in the south, the scorching sun in summer seems to scorch people.
Si Nian took half a day off from his boss, picked up his bag with his household registration book and walked out of the company, took a taxi and went straight to the Hualong District Marriage Registration Office.
Si Nian knew that grandma had always been brooding about what happened three years ago, and felt that she had not protected her well, which had led to her ruined reputation and her family being unable to return.
Grandma was also worried that she was getting too old and could no longer take care of her, so she asked Grandma Xiao from Xiangjiang to introduce her to a partner, and Grandma Xiao happened to have an older, unmarried grandson.
The older generation believes that the best destination for a girl is to get married, no matter who she is marrying to, as long as she can get married.
Having experienced something like that three years ago, and with too many marriages and divorces around him, Si Nian had no expectations for marriage.
She feels that if she meets the right person, she can get married, and there is nothing wrong with being single for the rest of her life if she doesn't meet the right person.
But in order to reassure her grandma, she agreed to marry Grandma Xiao's grandson.
Not long after, Si Nian arrived at his destination. As soon as he got off the car, he looked up and saw a tall man standing at the door of the certification hall.
He was wearing an ordinary white shirt and black trousers, but his image was so dazzling that the women passing by secretly glanced at him.
He was talking on the phone, looking intently.
Si Nian took out her cell phone and flipped through the photo her grandma sent her. This man should be the man in the photo, but he looked better in person than in the photo.
Si Nian walked towards him. As he approached, the man put away his phone and looked at her, "Si Nian?"
Not only does he look good, he also has a nice voice.
Si Nian nodded, "Are you Xiao Hang?"
Xiao Hang nodded, turned around and walked to the certificate processing hall.
He had long legs and walked fast. Si Nian could only keep up with him by jogging. "Well, do you want to think about it again?"
Xiao Hang stopped, raised his hand and looked at his watch, "Do you have any concerns?"
Si Nian wanted to ask him if he knew her?
Does he know her past?
If you think about it more carefully, he should be like her. He had no choice but to marry her due to the pressure of his elders. It was not because of love, so there is no need to understand.
Just like her, she only knew that he was the grandson of her grandmother's friend, Grandma Xiao, and she didn't even know what kind of job he did.
Si Nian shook his head, "Then let's go."
There were few people getting the certificates today and they got it done quickly.
Looking at the newly released marriage certificate, Si Nian was still a little dazed, so Xiao Hang handed her a bank card.
"I've been very busy with work recently, and I don't have time to accompany you for the time being. Take this card, the password is six six, and you can spend the money in the card as you wish."
Si Nian was stunned for a moment, but when he realized what was happening, Xiao Hang had already gotten into a commercial car on the roadside and left.
She looked at the bank card in her hand again and suddenly felt a little hot.
She worked at a branch of Shi's Group and opened a comic studio with Fa Xiao. She earned a lot of income every month and was able to live a good life by herself without thinking about spending money from men.
Her ideal loveless marriage is to get a certificate and deal with the elders in the family. After marriage, they will not interfere with each other and live their lives as usual.
But if Xiao Hang is willing to live a good life with her, she will also work hard to manage this marriage.
After thinking about it, Si Nian took a photo of the marriage certificate and sent it to grandma, "Grandma, we have received the certificate."
Grandma quickly replied to the voice message, "Okay, okay, live a good life with him from now on and have a baby as soon as possible."
Si Nian replied with the word "OK" and felt depressed after putting away his phone.
This society is like this. Singles are pushed to get married, and marriage is pushed to have children. Girls seem to be unable to have their own lives.
...
The marriage is concluded, but it seems that it is not.
After receiving the certificate, the man never contacted Sinian again. Sinian's life did not change at all and he was still busy working day and night.
A year has passed in the blink of an eye, and the hottest season of the year has arrived again.
This year, Si Nian has been transferred to the Secretariat Office of Shi's headquarters due to his outstanding work performance.
Shi Yezhou, the president of Shi Group, returned today from a year abroad. Everyone in the company is very nervous, especially those like Si Nian who may be transferred to work beside the president.
Just when everyone in the CEO's office was looking forward to it, the elevator door for the president opened and two men and one woman walked out of the elevator.
The leading man wears a pair of silver-rimmed glasses, is at least 1.8 meters tall, has a good figure and a good-looking face.
Si Nian felt a little familiar and couldn't help but take a second look...
"Si Nian, that's our CEO Shi." Colleague Song Yueqing whispered in Si Nian's ear, "There was a girl in our secretary office who always had inappropriate thoughts about Shi and was fired."
Si Nian had been at the headquarters for less than a year and had never met the president. He knew that he was less than twenty-eight years old, but he did not expect that his figure and appearance were one of the best in a million.
She was a little embarrassed and was about to explain when a sneer came from behind her, "The toad wants to eat swan meat."
The person who spoke was Lin Dawei. After his previous pursuit of Si Nian was rejected, he often made things difficult for Si Nian at work.
Si Nian has never had unrealistic fantasies, and she doesn't bother to pay attention to such a villain who makes trouble out of nothing.
However, Lin Dawei thought he had guessed what Si Nian was thinking, and continued to be arrogant, "Women these days are all over the top, and if they have a little bit of beauty, they will dream of marrying into a wealthy family."
"Why marry into a wealthy family?" Shen Wanqing, the president's special assistant, came over and glanced at the three of them coldly, "Si Nian, Song Yueqing, and Lin Dawei, come to the president's office with me."
Shen Wanqing is a veteran of the company. She used to work next to the former president, and then stayed with Shi Yezhou for many years. Now that she is being transferred to the west, someone has to take her place.
Si Nian and the other three were selected from the twenty-some people in the CEO's office in rounds. Whoever succeeds Shen Wanqing in the end depends on who the president chooses.
They came to the president's office, which was simply and elegantly decorated. The 180-degree floor-to-ceiling windows overlooked half of Xiangjiang City.
The man known as Mr. Shi was wearing a white shirt and black trousers, standing in front of the large floor-to-ceiling windows, standing upright, elegant and dignified.
Shen Wanqing said respectfully, "Mr. Shi, everyone is here."
The man turned back to look at them. Although he had done nothing, his aura was so strong that no one dared to show off.
Lin Dawei took a bold step forward, "President Shi, my name is Lin Dawei, and I have been working in the President's Office for five years. My uncle Lin Jiang also asked me to say hello to you on his behalf..."
The man glanced at Lin Dawei, his eyes unchanged, but those who knew him knew that he had always looked down on this kind of relationship.
He looked at Song Yueqing, who immediately held her head high and said, "President Shi, my name is Song Yueqing. I have been working in the President's Office for three years."
She tried to sound generous and confident, but her trembling voice revealed her nervousness.
The man finally looked at Si Nian, who was also looking at him...
This time the distance was closer, and Si Nian could see the man's perfect face more clearly, as if it was carefully carved by a craftsman.
I still feel like I’ve seen it somewhere before...
How did Si Nian know that Shi Yezhou was Xiao Hang, her cheap husband whom she only met once on the day of receiving the certificate.
When Xiao Hang was born, the Shi family was in turmoil. For the safety of his sole heir, the Shi family gave him two identities.
The name announced to the public is Shi Yezhou, and the name he uses to live his life is Xiao Hang, which is the same name as his grandmother's surname. Only Shi's family knows this.
