Chapter 47 Approaching

[No such person? ]

Shen Boyan suddenly felt an incredible feeling in his heart.

Shen Boxuan said: [Yes. ]

[The big brother in the next door department is convinced that this person exists in the company, but people in our company don't remember his existence at all. ]

[Moreover, when asked about any friends or people he knew, the elder brother couldn't tell clearly. ]

[ Something's wrong with him. 】Shen Boyan said.

[Of course that's wrong. ] Shen Boxuan expressed his agreement without hesitation.

[I originally planned to ask a few more people before telling you. 】

Shen Boyan thanked Shen Bo.

"Xiaoyan, Xiaoyan?"

Cheng Wenjun seemed to have just been talking to him. When he didn't respond, his voice became heavier: "What's wrong?"

"Nothing." Shen Boyan put away his phone.

He did not tell Cheng Wenjun that he seemed to have seen Meng Xinqiao just now.

"Do you have any other plans for the evening?" Cheng Wenjun asked without doubting his presence.

"No." Shen Boyan shook his head.

As soon as he said no, Cheng Wenjun invited him to take a walk together.

Cheng Wenjun walked side by side with him by the lake where the coolness had not yet disappeared. The neon lights of the city reflected on the lake, blurring his face.

Cheng Wenjun tried to chat with him, and his words conveyed a sense of understanding of life. Shen Boyan felt that he was really not suitable for this kind of heart-to-heart talk. The words he spoke were empty and illogical, as if he had taken sentences from some websites and put them together in a mess.

There is no point in listening to it. At most, it can only be used to increase your favorability.

Shen Boyan kept his ears in and out while trying to pay attention to the pedestrians passing by.

The neon lights are dazzling, distorting the reflections of pedestrians into pieces. He quietly looked around, at the billboards, at the lake, and even looked directly at some people of similar height walking towards him - but he never caught Meng Xinqiao again.

The shadow on the restaurant glass is like Shen Boyan's illusion.

This long and boring date ended after more than an hour, and Shen Boyan and Cheng Wenjun returned home together. It was getting late, so they said good night to each other and went to their respective rooms.

Of course, none of them slept.

Shen Boyan leaned against the corner and heard the sound exactly at three-thirty.

"Host." The voice was as weird as ever. Shen Boyan listened to its deep sound, as if coming from all directions and ringing directly in his ears.

"Your strategy progress has reached 56%. Please continue working hard to reach 75%."

"Why is it only this little?" Cheng Wenjun's voice was surprised, "What is the criterion for judging this strategy value? We have obviously done a lot with him today. It’s over!”

“Sorry, the evaluation criteria will not be disclosed.” The system replied in a formal manner.

"Host, you need to do some breakthrough behavior."

Its voice was weird and low, and Shen Boyan felt an inexplicable chill.

What does it mean?

It was the first time he'd heard it utter the word.

Breakthrough behavior... Could it be that their current method of repeatedly and mechanically increasing favorability is no longer effective?

"If you fail to reach it, punishment mode will be activated." The system is cold and tough.

Shen Boyan couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

Punishment mode...Punishment mode...

and this strategy progress, why did it suddenly increase so slowly?

He bit his nails.

I always feel that this matter is not as simple as imagined.

Cheng Wenjun seemed to take a deep breath.

"You have never explained the rules for increasing the capture value in detail." He said, "If you want me to capture him, then why don't you tell me?"

"Sorry." The system still didn't want to say anything. , "The rules are set by the system. The host is asked to judge the rules for increasing the strategy value by himself."

"Obviously I held his hand today." Cheng Wenjun questioned again, "Isn't this a breakthrough behavior?"

"Sorry." The system repeated, " This is the result of a system assessment.” System assessment?

Shen Boyan bit his nails anxiously.

He seemed to have caught something suddenly, but also seemed to have caught nothing.

Cheng Wenjun clicked his tongue in displeasure.

The system said no more and quietly fell into silence. Cheng Wenjun, on the other hand, was pacing in circles, and then climbed into bed after a while.

The voice on the other side completely disappeared. Shen Boyan couldn't remember the flash of inspiration he had just had. After staying there for a while, he had no choice but to go back to bed. A dreamless night.

When he opened his eyes in the morning, Shen Boyan still didn't understand what his epiphany was yesterday. He squinted and pushed open the door, but he didn't expect to see Cheng Wenjun talking on the phone.

Cheng Wenjun seemed to be talking to the person opposite. When he turned around and saw Shen Boyan, he froze for a moment awkwardly, and then waved to Shen Boyan.

Shen Boyan went to the table to get breakfast. As soon as he poured a glass of water, he heard Cheng Wenjun hang up the phone: "Xiaoyan, are you awake?"

"Yes." Shen Boyan responded perfunctorily, pulled out his chair and sat down.

"Are you free the day after tomorrow?" Cheng Wenjun also sat down and looked at Shen Boyan with a smile. "How about attending a dinner party with me?"

Shen Boyan suddenly thought of the word "breakthrough progress" last night for some reason. .

He remembered that Cheng Wenjun had tried to get him drunk on the cruise ship. Although he was not successful in the end, and instead was tricked out of a shocking secret, his motives were obviously abnormal.

This guy probably didn't hold anything back. Shen Boyan thought.

So he agreed: "Okay."

For the sake of progress.

You have to at least see what Cheng Wenjun wants to do. ...

Therefore, Shen Boyan got off work early the night after tomorrow and went to Cheng Wenjun's appointment.

They were riding in the same car. After getting out of the car, Cheng Wenjun stretched his elbow towards Shen Boyan intentionally or unintentionally. Shen Boyan endured it for a while, but finally hugged him.

Their figures were dimly reflected in the glass door. Cheng Wenjun is indeed tall. Even if he hasn't exercised recently, this posture still makes Shen Boyan feel like a little bird.

Shen Boyan hated this feeling and felt disgusted looking at it.

They walked into the banquet hall like a close couple. Cheng Wenjun was as popular as ever, and many people came to greet him. Shen Boyan hid beside him silently. Occasionally, a few people would talk to Shen Boyan casually, and Shen Boyan responded as gracefully as possible.

As soon as more people came, Shen Boyan started to get distracted.

He thought of Meng Xinqiao. Will Meng Xinqiao come to this banquet with the same haunting spirit as before?

Oh, lingering might not be the right word.

Shen Boyan's random thoughts continued until someone walked directly towards him and raised his glass: "Mr. Shen."

Shen Boyan looked up and saw Anne. Cheng Wenjun turned around when he heard the voice and immediately frowned: "Miss Zhang, what can I do for you?"

Anne glanced at Cheng Wenjun and lightly raised her eyelids: "I have nothing to do with you. I just want to say hello to Mr. Shen."

Cheng Wenjun was indeed a little unhappy when he heard this. But it’s hard to show it, so I can only keep my mouth shut. Anne turned to look at Shen Boyan again, raised her glass and said, "Let's talk later."

Shen Boyan had a good impression of her, so he raised his glass and clinked it with her in a dignified manner.

The two cups collided and made a crisp sound. Anne smiled and left gracefully.

"Do you know each other?"

Shen Boyan looked at Anne's leaving figure, and Cheng Wenjun's voice came from behind.

"What's wrong?" Shen Boyan turned around and asked.

"Okay." Shen Boyan's attitude was impeccable. Cheng Wenjun said nothing more, but his eyes flashed slightly.

After Anne left, Shen Boyan suddenly remembered that he didn't know her name yet.

I always feel that she has a similar temper to Shen Poxuan. he thinks.

After she left, no one came to greet Shen Boyan at all. Cheng Wenjun was surrounded by a few more guests who looked similar in age to them. Shen Boyan looked familiar, but he couldn't match the names one by one.

"You're still asking." One of them joked with Cheng Wenjun, "The project Xu Cheng invested in recently made a lot of money. We are all waiting to learn from it."

"Zhang Hua invested in another one and lost so much that he lost his pants. There's nothing left." Another added, "It's hard to stay in the house these days. I'm laughing so hard."

Cheng Wenjun squeezed his wine glass and just laughed without saying anything. However, those few people seemed to be chatting enthusiastically and did not mention what he meant, so he could not speak.

"Hey, Xu Cheng, say something!" The person who spoke first touched the silent person in the corner with his elbow.

The man named Xu Cheng raised his head and glanced at these people.

"Tell me about it." Someone laughed.

"The reason is very simple." Xu Cheng said slowly.

"Some things seem too clear and too clear, but there are actually problems."

"Things that are too clear can easily make people confused and not think about the loopholes in them. If you think about it carefully, the problem is actually very big."

"What? "You're telling riddles, right?" The first person touched Xu Cheng again.

"The one invested by Zhang Hua seems to have great momentum." Xu Cheng said, "But in fact, their advantages are all false, and many of them are blown out."

"But they are so true that they can't be found at first glance. ."

"Interesting," someone boasted.

"It's quite interesting." Cheng Wenjun also acted unpredictable and clinked glasses with a few people.

Shen Boyan was listening on the side, and suddenly his heart skipped a beat.

Will something that is too simple and easy actually cause problems?

He thought about the poor acting "Cheng Wenjun" and the system that appeared on time every day and disappeared most of the time. There is weirdness.

The lights in the banquet hall were a bit dazzling, and Shen Boyan couldn't figure out the conspiracy behind it.

While he was thinking wildly, Cheng Wenjun suddenly approached and touched his wine glass.

The sound of clinking glasses was a little loud, and the wine in the glass sloshed.

"Xiaoyan, are you sleepy?" Cheng Wenjun's voice was very low and soft.

"No." Shen Boyan shook his head.
