Before Gu Wei had a chance to refuse, Shen Jiayi was about to take his cup, but Gu Wei was quick to act and stopped her with an outstretched hand.
"No need, I don't drink coffee."
"Then what would Brother Wei like to drink? Tea? We have tea leaves at home as well."
"No thanks, I prefer water."
Gu Wei then continued his work.
Shen Jiajia came out of Gu Wei's office feeling dejected and returned to her own finance office.
As a director in the finance department, she sat down and then sent a message: "Attack failed."
...
In the evening, Shen Jiayi got into a car and headed to a villa in the suburbs.
After getting out, she went to the living room, made a cup of coffee for herself, and sat down to drink it.
Soon after, a man in his fifties, pot-bellied, also came in. Seeing Shen Jiajia drinking coffee, he couldn't help asking, "Drinking coffee this late, aren't you worried about not being able to sleep?"
