The temperature in the study room was not high, but Shen Zhen still felt like he was being roasted on the fire. Every minute was torture. His cheeks were getting redder, and the tip of his nose was full of Qin Xing’s scent, Qin Xing’s breathing filled his ears, and he could even feel his heart beating faster and faster.

This was not a good sign.

Qin Xing’s voice was low and ambiguous, and the hot air he exhaled was like scalding flames when he spoke. His chin rested on the top of Shen Zhen’s head, and with one arm around Shen Zhen’s shoulder, he whispered: “Uncle will always pay attention to those who make Xiao Zhen sad.”

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

Shen Zhen felt like he was drunk at this time, and he even felt a little dizzy.

“Xiao Zhen wronged Uncle.” Qin Xing suddenly grabbed Shen Zhen’s hand. Qin Xing’s palm was dry and warm, but Shen Zhen’s hand was pale and cold. When Qin Xing held his hand, Shen Zhen couldn’t help but to take a deep breath.

Everyone yearned for warmth, but warmth was never within reach.

Qin Xing smiled lowly: “How will you compensate?”

Shen Zhen raised his head and looked at Qin Xing’s eyes in a daze. There were deeper things in them that Shen Zhen couldn’t understand. His ability to reason was like a broken clock, which finally stopped at this moment.

Unknowingly, Qin Xing came closer and closer, but Shen Zhen didn’t move at all. It was as if someone had cast a fixing spell on him, and even his fingers wouldn’t listen to his commands.

Until a warm feeling landed on Shen Zhen’s cheek, and intantly Shen Zhen burned into a ball of fire.

He could feel the temperature of Qin Xing’s lips, which were different from his palms. Qin Xing’s lips were slightly cool. The kiss was understated like a gust of wind blowing gently, but at the same time it was so obvious that Shen Zhen could even outline the shape of Qin Xing’s lips.

Qin Xing’s lips were thin, but well-shaped. Shen Zhen froze in Qin Xing’s arms, motionless, like a puppet.

“I, I, I’ll go back to rest first.” Suddenly Shen Zhen broke free from Qin Xing’s embrace, he stood up, stared at the floor at a loss and then quickly left the study after leaving these words behind.

The moment he closed the study door, Shen Zhen felt his heart was about to jump out of his chest.

It shouldn’t, it shouldn’t be like this, and it shouldn’t have happened.

If…..If Qin Xing was interested in him, then what about in his previous life?

Even if he made different choices in his previous life than in this life, his soul was the same, so what was the difference?

Or was it a moment of impulse from Qin Xing?

Shen Zhen felt that his brain was in a state of confusion, and he urgently needed to be alone to think quietly.

When he got on the motorcycle, the temperature on Shen Zhen’s face had dropped, and he looked paler than before.

He felt fear, hesitation and confusion, each emotion unsettling him.

Qin Xing was still sitting on the sofa. He didn’t make any move, and he didn’t chase after Shen Zhen. He still had a smile on his face, licking his lips lightly with the tip of his tongue. He seemed to be at ease and not worried at all.

Looking at the direction where Shen Zhen left, Qin Xing smiled lightly and said, “I’ve been waiting for so many years, so how could I not even have this patience?”

All the memories of the past were slowly recovering.

After returning home, Shen Zhen soaked himself in the tub, his cold skin warmed up, and his stiff limbs gradually stretched out.

Mama Zhang was not at home, probably having gone to pick up her son. Shen Zhen submerged the lower half of his face underwater, thinking calmly.

Perhaps it was a kiss from an elder to a younger generation. After all, the kiss was on the cheek, not the lips, so it shouldn’t have too much meaning.

But Shen Zhen knew that he was decieving himself.

He looked at his hand, which seemed to still have Qin Xing’s body temperature.

Shen Zhen raised his head and looked at the chandelier above his head. Qin Xing was gentle and considerate, powerful and aggressive. Anyone with a sexual orientation towards males would be attracted to him, but this should not include himself.

Shen Zhen had suffered enough emotional losses.

In his previous life, he couldn’t even handle Qin Yue, let alone Qin Xing.

Shen Zhen stepped out of the bathtub and took the towel beside him to wipe off the water drops on his body. Feelings were unreliable, only power was reliable. If he was always weak, then it would be no different from his previous life. Qin Yue could betray him, and so could Qin Xing, but he could do nothing but resent.

Only when you become stronger could you control your own life, and when the other party wanted to leave, you could use reality to let them understand the price of leaving you.

If one day, he would really be with Qin Xing.

That must also be when he had the ability to control his own future.

Not now.

After putting on the bathrobe, Shen Zhen stepped out of the bathroom, but the front door opened just at this moment, and Mama Zhang led a young man inside.

Shen Zhen’s hair was still wet, and it was combed by Shen Zhen to the back of his head, revealing his facial features and forehead. The bathrobe was gaping slightly open, and Shen Zhen’s chest was in contact with the air. He was 1.8 meters tall, thin and long-legged. At this moment, he was looking at Mama Zhang and her son.

Mama Zhang said somewhat restrainedly: “Young Master Shen, this is my son, Han Lang.”

She tugged on her son’s clothes: “Xiao Lang, say hello.”

Han Lang, who had just entered college, was wearing a baseball uniform. He was about 1.88 meters tall, with a strong figure, thick eyebrows and big eyes. He was a handsome young man, like a young oxen, sunny and outgoing.

Han Lang greeted somewhat reluctantly: “Young Master Shen.”

Then he muttered in a low voice: “What era is it now, this appellant is still the same as in the old society.”

Mama Zhang smiled awkwardly at Shen Zhen.

Shen Zhen didn’t care too much: “Just call me Brother Shen.”

This time Han Lang was very decisive: “Brother Shen.”

“I’m going back to my room to rest first.” Shen Zhen said to Mama Zhang, “I’ll get up at six tomorrow morning.”

Mama Zhang quickly responded.

After Shen Zhen returned to his room, Mama Zhang said to Han Lang: “Sit down for a while, Mama will make you a snack.”

Han Lang sat on the sofa and felt a little uncomfortable. Unlike Mama Zhang who had been staying in the Qin family, Han Lang lived in other people’s homes since he was a child. Other than reaching out to his wife for money, his dad did not know anything else, nor did he care about his son.

Both his grandpa and grandma lived in the countryside. When he was a child, he lived with his grandparents. When he grew up, he went to the city and lived in other people’s homes.

Living with a host family meant living under someone else’s roof. He only dared to look at the toys that other people’s children have, but dare not say that he wanted it as well.

Other people’s children have pocket money, but he never got any from his uncles and aunts——they all said his family only gave them living expenses.

This situation lasted until the end of the college entrance examination, and he got into the best university in the province, and only then did he leave his host family.

Then his mom appeared.

Although Han Lang didn’t hate his own mother, if one wanted to talk about being close, he couldn’t really say so without lying to himself.

But he knew that his mother was more reliable than his father.

“Let’s eat wonton.” Mama Zhang said, “There are some in the refrigerator. I’ll make you twenty?”

Han Lang swallowed, “Okay.”

He looked at this apartment. This apartment was like one that only rich people live in in TV dramas. With huge floor-to-ceiling windows, one could see the night view of the entire city. The interior decoration was full of a modern air, simple and elegant, and so clean as if no one lived here. Even the sofa under his buttocks was incredibly soft.

While eating wonton, Han Lang asked Mama Zhang: “Mom, me living here, Brother Shen really has no objection?”

Mama Zhang said while washing the pot, “Young Master Shen is a very good person, he was the one to ask me to bring you over.”

Mama Zhang had a smile on her face.

Although she called him Young Master Shen, in her heart, she regarded Shen Zhen as her own child.

“Why?” Han Lang asked strangely.

 Mama Zhang smiled and didn’t speak.

Because in Young Master Shen’s heart, she, a servant, actually occupied a place.

Many relationships depend on the accumulation of time, and people’s feelings are always mutual.

Mama Zhang said: “That’s your room, I’ve made up the bed for you, and I’ll accompany you to school tomorrow to arrange your commuter student status.”

Han Lang nodded: “Okay.”

He also wanted to live with his own mother. He had never lived with his mother before, so he didn’t know what it was like to be with one’s mother.

At six o’clock the next morning, Shen Zhen was woken up by the alarm clock. He didn’t sleep well all night. He tossed and turned on the bed, thinking about Qin Xing. When he closed his eyes, he could only see Qin Xing’s face. He didn’t fall asleep until three or four in the morning. But now being woken up by the alarm clock, Shen Zhen couldn’t fall asleep again.

“Young Master Shen, it’s time to eat.” Mama Zhang’s voice came from outside the door.

Shen Zhen: “Coming.”

He put on his pajamas, went to the bathroom to wash up, and then walked to the living room. Han Lang was already sitting at the dining table, and Mama Zhang was carrying over dishes from the kitchen.

The breakfast was peanut porridge with deep-fried dough sticks and steamed buns, all made by Mama Zhang herself, clean and hygienic, and delicious.

Shen Zhen didn’t have the energy to talk to Han Lang yesterday, and now that his mood had stabilized, he asked, “When did Xiao Lang come to the city?”

Han Lang quickly replied, “In August, I came early before school starts.”

Shen Zhen: “What is your major?”

Han Lang said with some embarrassment: “Software engineering, I want to make games in the future.”

The game industry was a rising industry. It had risen rapidly in recent years, but there were actually not many games released in China. The largest number of registrations and popularity belonged to a few leading foreign companies, which almost monopolize half of the global market.

Most of the domestic game companies were small businesses, and very few could make it to the top.

Those who could develop their market abroad were even pitifully less.

Shen Zhen said to Han Lang, “Not bad, it has a bright future.”

Han Lang grinned.

When he applied for this major, the relatives around him persuaded him to go to a teaching school, and then be a teacher in the future, as this job would be relatively stable, or he could take the civil service exam after graduation and get a guaranteed government job. Many people had prejudice against the game industry.

When Han Lang told Mama Zhang, he thought that Mama Zhang would also scold him, but Mama Zhang said, “Ah…..I don’t understand this, I’ll ask Young Master Shen.”

She didn’t understand, so she asked, but for many people even if they didn’t understand, they could say straightforwardly: “This kind of industry is not anything proper, and playing games is to negatively influence other people’s children, and you will meet with bad luck in the future.”

“Brother Shen.” Han Lang asked cautiously, “What do you think of the game industry? That is…..will it have a bad influence on children?”

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

Shen Zhen looked at Han Lang strangely: “Anything can be bad, if you don’t know restraint and control. For example, you will get obese if you eat too much meat.”

Han Lang slapped his thigh with his hand and exclaimed: “Brother Shen is right.”

Shen Zhen: “…..” Why so excited? Wasn’t this the truth that everyone knew?

Qin Yue was sitting in the office when he received the notice to return to China. His whole person was in a daze. When the assistant came to pick him up, he didn’t even know how he got up from the chair.

When he first came, he was full of ambitions, thinking that even if he didn’t have decision-making power, he could still make achievements and make his uncle look at him in a new light.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

But when did things go astray?

Sitting on the plane, Qin Yue recalled everything after he went abroad.

It started when he first came, and now when he looked back at his previous proposal he felt like his head was full of sh*t.

This kind of situation maintained until a month ago, when he dug out his previous proposal documents in the middle of the night. He was so angry with his previous self and he didn’t know how he would make such proposals in the first place.

Back at the Qin family manor, Qin Yue stood at the gate. This was his home, where he grew up and was educated.

He used to be half of the family’s decision-maker.

But now he was like a dog with its tail between its legs, being summoned back pathetically.

“Eldest Young Master Qin, Sir is waiting for you.” The butler came out from the door, and still invited Qin Yue in as respectfully as before.

Qin Yue walked in expressionlessly, but his fingers were trembling slightly.

The butler said, “Sir is waiting for you.”

Qin Yue: “…..Is there anyone else?”

The butler lowered his head, making it difficult for people to see his expression: “Young Master Shen is also there.”

Qin Yue asked the butler: “Xiao Zhen has returned to the Qin family now?”

He remembered that Shen Zhen left the Qin family before he went abroad, and he thought that Shen Zhen would never come back.

Butler: “Young Master Shen is a guest.”

Qin Yue understood. Shen Zhen only came to stay in the Qin family manor occasionally, and would not stay for a long time.

After being led to the study room, Qin Yue stood at the door and took a deep breath. On the way, he had finished drafting how he should report to his uncle.

“Sir, the eldest young master is here.” The butler said at the door.

Qin Xing’s deep voice came from inside: “Let him in.”

The butler opened the door of the study.

Qin Yue took a step and walked around the bookshelf, only then did he see Qin Xing sitting on the sofa, and Shen Zhen sitting next to Qin Xing pouring tea.

Everyone had their own personal space, and once others encroached on this personal space, they would feel uncomfortable.

Qin Yue didn’t know how wide Qin Xing’s personal space was, but Qin Yue knew that Qin Xing didn’t like to be close to people.

Even Qin Yue never stood a close distance to Qin Xing.

But Shen Zhen was sitting next to Qin Xing at this time, and their knees were almost touching, but Qin Xing didn’t even raise his eyebrows.

“You’re here.” Qin Xing seemed to have just discovered Qin Yue’s presence, the smile on his mouth disappearing, “Sit.”

Qin Yue: “Uncle…..”

Qin Xing: “Sit down and talk.”

Qin Yue could only go over and sit down, sitting opposite Qin Xing. His eyes swept over Qin Xing, and soon moved to Shen Zhen. He hadn’t looked at Shen Zhen for a long time. When he was abroad, he couldn’t even remember what Shen Zhen looked like.

But at this moment, Shen Zhen’s figure appeared in Qin Yue’s mind very clearly.

He suddenly recalled when Shen Zhen was younger, when they were still in school.

At that time, they were the closest friends. From the beginning of their acquaintance, they had never been estranged. At that time, Qin Yue thought that he and Shen Zhen would stay together forever. Even if they did not end up with each other and married others, they would still be good brothers.

“How was it abroad?” Qin Xing noticed Qin Yue looking at Shen Zhen, and he looked over with sharp eyes.

Qin Yue quickly lowered his head: “It’s fine.”

Qin Xing smiled and said, “What have you learned?”

Qin Yue: “I was too arrogant in the early stage, and the proposals I made were too radical. At this stage, I need to stabilize the foreign market first, increase my reputation, and then gradually proceed with my plans.”

Qin Xing patted Shen Zhen’s hand: “Xiao Zhen, go to the kitchen to see if there is any dessert.”

Shen Zhen said obediently: “Okay.”

Shen Zhen knew that Qin Xing wanted him to not be present for the following conversation, otherwise he could just ask the butler to bring the desserts.

After Shen Zhen left, Qin Xing looked at Qin Yue again. At this time, Qin Xing was very different from before. His face was expressionless and his eyes were deep. He was sitting on the sofa with feet planted apart, and his gentle temperament disappeared without a trace. His whole person was full of an oppressive aura, like a huge and dangerous predator.

Qin Yue sat with his back straight. He could only feel like something was squeezing his heart, which made him almost unable to breathe. He clenched both hands into fists, but he couldn’t exert any strength.

For the first time, Qin Yue felt that he was so weak.

He was so weak that when Qin Xing looked at him, he could only shrink back.

“Ah Yue.” Qin Xing began, “Uncle had trained you for so many years, only to cultivate a waste. How do you think Uncle is feeling now?”

Qin Yue: “Uncle, I already know where my problem is. Uncle, please give me another chance! Uncle!”

Qin Xing was clearly looking directly at Qin Yue, but Qin Yue felt that Qin Xing was looking down on him.

“I gave you a chance.” Qin Xing’s tone was calm, “More than once.”

Qin Yue had already broken out in a cold sweat, the sweat on his back soaking through his clothes.

Qin Xing said: “I also told you that you are not my only nephew. Is it because I gave you too much preferential treatment that made you feel that you are different?”

Qin Xing raised his head and said with a pale face, “Uncle…..”

Qin Xing: “The Qin family can feed Ah Meng, and it can also feed you.”

Qin Yue’s eyes were filled with pleading: “Uncle, I know that my ability is in doubt now, and I don’t ask you to treat me like before. I want to not rely on the family and start my own business.”

Qin Xing fell silent, and he looked at Qin Yue carefully.

“Okay.” Qin Xing said, “I won’t provide you with any help, and you can’t tell anyone that you are a child of the Qin family. Before you succeed, you can’t appear in front of me.”

Qin Yue breathed a sigh of relief: “Thank you, Uncle.”

“You don’t need to thank me.” Qin Xing said, “If you want to thank me, go thank Xiao Zhen.”

Qin Yue looked at Qin Xing strangely.

Qin Xing: “You’re dismissed.”

When Qin Yue came out of the study, he happened to meet Shen Zhen. Qin Yue greeted Shen Zhen unnaturally: “Xiao Zhen.”

Shen Zhen had no expression: “What?”

Qin Yue: “In the past, I did a lot of wrong, I was not level-headed enough, and I didn’t consider your point of view.”

“No need to apologize, you did nothing  wrong.” Shen Zhen held the dessert, “I’m going in first.”

Qin Yue made way for Shen Zhen.

Before Shen Zhen opened the door, he grabbed Shen Zhen’s arm and whispered, “Can we talk in private?”

Shen Zhen looked at Qin Yue strangely: “Why? Is it necessary?”

“I want to apologize to you for what happened before.” Qin Yue said, “I shouldn’t have been so rude, and I shouldn’t have said that about you.”

Shen Zhen felt that Qin Yue might be out of his mind, he didn’t believe that Qin Yue had suddenly discovered his conscience. After all, Qin Yue in his previous life was practically crazy about Su Shiqing. Once someone made Su Shiqing unhappy, Qin Yue could drive the other to bankruptcy and destruction without a blink of an eye. As the rich and powerful, Qin Yue didn’t even need to dirty hus hands himself if he wanted to deal with anyone.

Qin Yue, who fell in love with Su Shiqing, had long since lost his sense of right and wrong. It would be really strange if he could know what was right and what was wrong.

“Oh, really?” Shen Zhen said lightly, “But, that’s not important.”

Compared with what Qin Yue did in his previous life, what he did in this life was just superficial, without any pain or itch.

“Xiao Zhen.” Qin Yue said, “I thought we were still good friends.”

Shen Zhen turned his head to look at him, his expression full of sarcasm: “You think?”

Qin Yue looked at him.

Shen Zhen smiled and said, “Is what you think right?”

With that said, Shen Zhen opened the door of the study room, no longer sparing Qin Yue a look, walking straight in and to Qin Xing’s side.

After putting the plate of dessert on the table, Shen Zhen sat beside Qin Xing again.

“What did Ah Yue say to you?” Qin Xing asked.

Shen Zhen: “He apologized to me.”

Qin Xing’s eyes flickered slightly: “Oh? Did Xiao Zhen forgive him?”

Shen Zhen looked up, with a puzzled expression: “I was never angry at all, so I can’t talk about forgiveness.”

Qin Xing took a sip of tea, his knuckles whitening slightly while holding the teacup.

Shen Zhen: “I don’t have any feelings for him now. It’s like looking at a stone. When it’s in the way and blocking the road, I would give a second look and become more irritable, but when it’s not in the way, I don’t notice it at all.”

Qin Xing’s finger joints relaxed, and he reached out and touched Shen Zhen’s head, with a gentle and loving tone: “Ah Yue is going to start his own business.”

Shen Zhen said without exception: “Really?”

If Qin Yue set up his own business, he should take Su Shiqing away from the Chu family, right?

Qin Xing said again: “Su Shiqing is working as a custodian in the Qin Group.”

“Custodian?” Shen Zhen was really surprised now, would a person like Su Shiqing, who needed to be taken care of and served by others, be willing to lower his profile and become a custodian? Did the Chu family drive him out? No, if the Chu family kicked him out, he would just go to Chu Haoyi or Qin Yue.

He could even go to his parents, so why would he work as a custodian in the Qin Group?

For the first time, Shen Zhen couldn’t guess what Su Shiqing was thinking.

Su Shiqing’s brain circuit was sometimes really unpredictable.

Shen Zhen said: “Why doesn’t he become an office worker? But a custodian instead?”

Qin Group’s custodians were more relaxed than those of other companies. Qin Group’s management was strict, there would be no garbage except dust, and the treatment was not bad. So the custodians also cherished their jobs.

But no matter how good it was, it didn’t seem like a job that Su Shiqing would like. A person like Su Shiqing didn’t like work at all. He preferred the feeling of living off others, being a kept canary, not worrying about food and drink, and just relying on his master’s affections to live.

And why did Qin Xing pay attention to Su Shiqing?

Shen Zhen looked at Qin Xing.

Qin Xing chuckled lowly. He seemed to guess what Shen Zhen was thinking. He sat up and said in Shen Zhen’s ear, “What? Are you jealous?”

Shen Zhen silently reached out to touch his ear, and tilted his head: “I’m not jealous, it’s Su Shiqing’s blessing that you even care about him.”

Qin Xing was amused, he suddenly wrapped his arms around Shen Zhen’s shoulders, and Shen Zhen was pulled into Qin Xing’s embrace before he could react.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

Qin Xing: “Xiao Zhen wronged Uncle, so Uncle has to make a defense, right?”

Shen Zhen tried hard to breathe steadily, but still couldn’t stop the blood from rushing up. He wanted to break away from Qin Xing’s embrace, but Qin Xing’s arms were like cast steel, motionless.

Qin Xing’s chin rested on the top of Shen Zhen’s head, and Shen Zhen was suddenly feeling a little dazed.

Before the opening, almost all the corporate executives with big names and reputations were sitting in the lounge. Without exception, these people had dealt with Qin Xing. The respectful attitude they had towards Qin Xing was quite an eye-opener for Shen Zhen, but it was probably because they were older that they liked to talk about the past.

“I still remember the first time I met CEO Qin.” Someone said with a smile, “At that time, I felt that CEO Qin was young and promising.”

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

“Who said it isn’t so? Mr. Qin’s demeanor back then, tut-tut…..”

“Hey, to tell you the truth, I underestimated Mr. Qin back then.”

…..

Shen Zhen listened with gusto. It was a Qin Xing he didn’t know. He had just returned from abroad at the age of fifteen and carried the entire Qin family on his immature shoulders, opening a road that belonged to him in the thorny commercial field. Shen Zhen felt that he might not be able to do it at the age of thirty-five, let alone at the age of fifteen.

At that time, Qin Xing was the youngest son with several older brothers above him, and it was not his responsibility to inherit the family business. What was more, the Qin family was already going downhill back then. When Qin Xing returned to China, it could be said that he came back in the face of danger. His older brothers were helpless to solve the problems, and could only bet all their hopes on Qin Xing, who was only fifteen years old back then.

Sixteen years old was the age when Qin Xing appeared in everyone’s sight.

He kept all the properties that would have been sold, vigorously purged the top management, and he personally re-selected all the management.

Every decision, every business deal, he had to fight personally.

At the age of fifteen to sixteen, one could just imagine how many people would not accept his leadership.

There was no need to think about it to know what kind of scene Qin Xing faced back then. A chaotic Qin family, brothers who wanted him to solve their problems and then snatch the fruits of victory afterwards, and hostile opponent companies that were eyeing him. At that time, Qin Xing faced enemies on all sides, yet he managed to hold up under the pressure. And it was precisely because he did so that there was the current Qin family and the current Qin Group.

Perhaps in the next few decades, it would be difficult to produce another Qin Xing.

Qin Xing was probably not interested in hearing flattering, so he smiled and said, “It’s the same words every year, let’s change the topic of conversation this year.”

Everyone responded: “It’s true, we are getting older, and we only think about the past.”

“It’s the same with older people.”

Qin Xing just smiled, and he said to everyone: “This is Shen Zhen.”

Shen Zhen, who was sitting on Qin Xing’s left after coming in, smiled politely in response, which gave people the illusion that he was not deeply experienced in society.

Since he came in, everyone had been paying attention to him, but Qin Xing didn’t mention it, so they didn’t ask.

In the past, Qin Xing just introduced Shen Zhen to the bosses of local companies, but this time it was the bosses of all the leading companies in the country.

“This is the child I admire the most, you can call him Xiao Zhen.” Qin Xing said.

He didn’t use the word dote, he used the word admire.

“Another young and promising talent.” Someone quickly answered, “He has the demeanor of CEO Qin back then.”

“What is Xiao Zhen doing now?”

…..

Shen Zhen put on a restrained and mature look: “I just got involved in real estate and network information this year.”

“One is a pillar industry, and the other is an emerging industry.” Someone praised, “Start doing practical things at such a young age, no wonder it is the child Mr. Qin admires, if it was me, I would admire too.”

“Those of us back then cannot be compared to the young ones of today.”

“We’ve become old, the waves behind the Yangtze River push forward the waves ahead.”

Qin Xing listened, with a smile on his face. Shen Zhen didn’t feel much from being praised. He knew that these people weren’t sincerely praising him, but just praised him for Qin Xing’s sake, so there was no need to take it seriously.

After the business lecture started, Shen Zhen and Qin Xing walked to the center of the hall. Qin Xing sat in the center seat in the audience, and Shen Zhen sat next to Qin Xing, surrounded by people who had just been in the lounge.

In addition to well-known entrepreneurs, there were also several rookies who gave speeches on the stage.

——Including Zhao Xuan who was beaten up by Shen Zhen before.

He looked much better than before, probably because he had rearranged his appearance, but his eyes were flickering, as if he was afraid of being retaliated.

It wasn’t until his speech was over that Zhao Xuan breathed a sigh of relief.

This meeting would also be broadcast live on TV and online.

“Camera! Damn! The camera just passed a super handsome little brother!”

“There are handsome guys in this kind of meeting? I’m so touched, I thought it was all a group of middle aged balding men.”

“When the camera just moved over, it was really a lot of balding heads hahahaha.”

“Poverty makes me have lush and fine hair, wealth make them bald.”

“…..Why am I so poor yet still bald?”

“I have captured the screenshot of the little brother, godzamn, he is exactly the iceberg male protagonist in a novel, he had no expression during the whole process, but he is so handsome!”

“The one sitting next to him is also very handsome, but not necessarily the same handsome, he looks mature and steady at first glance.”

“Sure enough, good-looking people become friends with good-looking people.”

“Maybe they are related?”

“The facial features don’t look alike at all.”

“It was really hard for me to find a handsome guy among a group of middle-aged and elderly people with beer bellies and bald heads.”

“I won’t watch until the camera scans the little brother.”

“By the way, didn’t you guys notice? This conference only invites entrepreneurs, that is to say, this handsome guy is also a CEO.”

“…..Watson, you have discovered a blind spot.”

“I suddenly want to write a novel called “Little Heart Stealer Demoness: The Icy CEO Fell In Love With Me”.”

“Write quickly! I’ll read it!”

Shen Zhen suddenly became popular on the Internet without any knowledge of it.

Young, not bald, good-looking, and a CEO, he perfectly fit the main character set in Mary Sue novels. Shen Zhen’s screenshots were also made into headshots and appeared on various forums and chat tools.

When it was time for dinner at night, Shen Zhen checked WeChat, only to find that he had been picked up by the marketing account.

[Little Pioneer in Entertainment]: I suddenly found that many lovelies have replaced their profile picture with my husband’s picture. Now let’s talk about my husband. My husband’s name is Shen Zhen, and his nickname is Baby Zhen. He is the CEO of Huitong Real Estate, the CEO of Huitong Network Information Company, simply a life winner in capital letters, with Gary Stu stamped on his forehead, a walking male protagonist of romance novels, and can be cold and cute. I must blow a wave of rainbow fart, the photos are as follows, all kinds of Shen Zhen’s Wives, go an save them to your content, you are welcome, please just call me Shen Zhen’s Official Wife.

The photos below were all photos of Shen Zhen attending various open occasions. There were those in which he looked indifferent, those in which he had his head bowed in thought, and those in which he was smiling slightly. They were almost all of him dressed in suits. Shen Zhen had a good figure, and wearing a suit highlighted his body’s advantage.

“Damn damn damn, I never thought that I would have escaped the clutches of idols but not the CEO.”

“My family was already planning to buy a house, but now I have to inquire about Huitong, to support my husband.”

“Are the CEOs so handsome now, I feel despairing inside.”

“Although I’m a man, I don’t mind being my husband’s wife.”

…..

Shen Zhen didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, he didn’t have such experience in his previous life, it seemed that even the world had changed after a different lifetime.

Surrounding him was no longer scheming and intrigue.

“What?” Qin Xing put down the knife and fork, looking over at Shen Zhen who was looking at the phone and smiling foolishly.

Shen Zhen pursed his lips and said with a smile: “It’s nothing, people on the Internet praised me for being handsome.”

Qin Xing said gently: “Xiao Zhen is very good-looking.”

Apart from Shen Zhen, of course other people could also check the news. Su Shiqing, who currently lived in the Chu family, bit his lip as he checked WeChat. Before he knew it, Shen Zhen had already reached this level, but what about him? He lived in the Chu family, but he was not part of the Chu family. The Chu family elders ignored him, so what was the use if the servants liked him?

And he didn’t know what happened with Chu Haoyi recently, he could only see the other once a day.

Su Shiqing squeezed the phone, if not for his lack of strength, he might have crushed the phone.

Don’t know why, but he had a feeling, that everything that Shen Zhen had now should belong to him. He felt that he was no worse than Shen Zhen, but he just lacked opportunities, it was just that no one could back him like Qin Xing backed Shen Zhen.

Su Shiqing suddenly stood up.

That’s right, Qin Xing.

Qin Xing was the key. Qin Xing backed Qin Yue before, and Qin Yue practically controlled half of the Qin family’s voice.

When Qin Xing became displeased with Qin Yue, Qin Yue became worthless and was even sent abroad.

Su Shiqing picked up his phone and called someone he had never contacted before.

“Is it Mr. Zheng?” Su Shiqing’s voice trembled a little, “I’m Su Shiqing.”

The person on the other line asked, “Shi Qing? Why did you contact me suddenly? What’s the matter?”

Su Shiqing quickly said, “It’s like this. I’m in the Chu family now, but I don’t want to trouble the Chu family all the time. I…..I want to work in the Qin Group.”

He was going to get close to Qin Xing. He believed that Qin Xing just didn’t see his advantages. As long as Qin Xing saw him and discovered his good side, he would no longer regard Shen Zhen as a treasure.

Just like Qin Yue.

Qin Yue grew up with Shen Zhen, but didn’t he choose him in the end?

Mr. Zheng said, “It’s not a problem for you to go inside, but I don’t have any power. I can only let you go to the grassroots level.”

Su Shiqing: “Fine, as long as I can get in.”

Mr. Zheng: “By the way, what is your college degree?”

Su Shiqing was stunned, he…..he didn’t go to college. He was brought to the Qin family by Shen Zhen in high school, and he never went to school again.

“Didn’t graduate from high school…..” Mr. Zheng also had a headache, “Qin Group is very strict, and it’s impossible to fake your credentials, but if you want, I can arrange for you to work as a custodian.”

Su Shiqing’s voice was hoarse: “A custodian?”

Mr. Zheng: “It’s indeed an aggrievance to ask you to become a custodian, how about forgetting about it.”

Su Shiqing said tremblingly, “Go, I can do it.”

Mr. Zheng: “Then wait for my news.”

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

After hanging up the phone, Su Shiqing sat on the bed in a daze. He never thought he would go work as a custodian. He couldn’t accept this in his heart. It took half an hour before he persuaded himself that if he stayed at the Chu family’s house all the time, then he would really be ruined, he must get close to Qin Xing.

Su Shiqing said to himself: “Xiao Zhen, I don’t intend to replace you on purpose. I just admire Uncle Qin just like you. You will understand me, right? Xiao Zhen?”

At this time, Su Shiqing didn’t know that Qin Yue was going back to China soon. He had already completely forgotten about Qin Yue.

“Sir, I can make money by myself.” The security guard was a young man, and his temper was also quite big. Right now he was still suppressing his anger as he did not want to lose his job.

Zhao Xuan frowned, and he looked at the security guard: “You don’t think it’s enough? How much is your monthly salary now? Aren’t these enough to match your annual salary?”

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

The security guard clenched his fists: “Sir, no matter how low my salary is, I still didn’t eat a single rice of yours.”

Zhao Xuan smiled: “Oh, you feel like your self-esteem is hurt, don’t you?”

The security guard didn’t speak.

But Zhao Xuan’s expression suddenly changed, and he said mockingly: “Can self-esteem feed you? You have worked as a security guard all your life, yet you can’t even afford a flat.”

The security guard was about to raise his fist, but was stopped by the security captain who rushed over upon hearing the news.

Of those who took up security guard jobs, most of them were retired from the army. They served as volunteer soldiers for three years. Many of them went to the army before even graduating from high school. But without a diploma, it was not easy to find a job after returning. They either work in a gym as a coach, start their own businesses, or as security.

“Captain…..I…..” The security guard was about to explain, but the captain glared at him and said in a stern tone, “Apologize to Mr. Zhao.”

The captain pressed the security guard’s shoulders and they bowed to Zhao Xuan together.

Their current salaries as security guards were not low, in fact even considered high among their peers, and they have to support their families. If they suddenly lose their jobs, they would face the danger of unemployment.

The security guard bit his lip and lowered his head in humiliation: “Mr. Zhao, I’m sorry.”

Zhao Xuan: “Be careful in the future, I won’t quibble with you this time.”

The captain pulled the security guard away.

Shen Zhen: “Where are you going?”

“Come here.” Shen Zhen said to the security guard.

The security guard and the captain stopped in place.

When Shen Zhen saw the security guard, it was as if he saw himself on the construction site.

“Come here.” Shen Zhen said again.

The security guard finally came over.

Shen Zhen asked him, “What’s your name?”

Security guard: “My name is Qian Zijiang.”

Shen Zhen unlocked his mobile phone and handed it to the security guard: “Save your phone number inside.”

The security guard entered his number in a daze.

After all, this security guard also suffered from an indiscriminate disaster for his sake. Shen Zhen thought expressionlessly, just like him, he was also caught up in an indiscriminate disaster for no reason, they were too unlucky.

Shen Zhen glanced at Zhao Xuan next to him again, and felt that it was a waste of time to even bother with this kind of person.

The security guard handed back the phone, and Shen Zhen said, “I’ll call you when I’m free.”

The security guard didn’t know what was going on, and was dragged away by the captain in a daze.

The captain’s expression was also very anxious, mere security guards like them couldn’t afford to offend these people, what didn’t rich people dare to do?

Shen Zhen, who didn’t want to waste time with someone like Zhao Xuan, planned to move forward again. He wanted to go around the human-shaped pillar in front of him, but after a few steps, Zhao Xuan raised his hand and grabbed his shoulder, saying in a bad tone: “Hey, did I tell you to go?”

Shen Zhen turned his head and punched Zhao Xuan’s left eye.

Zhao Xuan took a step back in pain, covered his eye and stared at Shen Zhen viciously. The eyes were one of the most vulnerable parts of the human body, Zhao Xuan was in so much pain that tears couldn’t stop streaming down: “Do you f**king know what you’re doing?! Let me tell you, offending me will not end well!”

Shen Zhen raised his leg and kicked Zhao Xuan in the stomach this time.

The middle-aged men seemed to have woke up from a dream when they heard Zhao Xuan’s screams. They all rolled up their sleeves and prepared to come over to pull them apart. But before they even got close, they were startled by the scene in front of them——

Expressionlessly, Shen Zhen walked in front of Zhao Xuan who was lying on the ground, and stepped on Zhao Xuan’s lower abdomen with a foot. He didn’t have any emotional fluctuations, and looked at Zhao Xuan as if he were looking at a nasty bug.

Zhao Xuan: “You f**king…. get the hell off me!”

Shen Zhen kicked him again.

Zhao Xuan: “Ahhh! Do you know who I am!”

Another kick.

Zhao Xuan: “It hurts! It hurts!”

“You, get off me right now!” Zhao Xuan had already been trampled into a fetal position, and he said with difficulty, “I, I won’t quibble with you, you get off me now, and I will let you go.”

Shen Zhen suddenly bent down, grabbed Zhao Xuan’s collar, and pulled his upper body up. Shen Zhen asked, “Does it hurt?”

Zhao Xuan’s eyes widened in horror. He didn’t expect this young man who didn’t look that strong at all to have such great strength. He felt that his internal organs were all misplaced.

Shen Zhen asked again: “Does it hurt?”

Zhao Xuan nodded his head rapidly: “It hurts, hurts!”

Shen Zhen reached out and patted his face: “Will you still have a bad mouth next time?”

Zhao Xuan gave Shen Zhen a dark look.

Shen Zhen stood up and kicked again.

Zhao Xuan shouted: “Everyone! Where is everyone!”

The middle-aged men came back to their senses, hurried forward, and were just about to hold Shen Zhen down, but unexpectedly Shen Zhen turned to look at them: “What? Want to come and get beaten too?”

Seeing Shen Zhen’s viciousness, the middle-aged men didn’t dare to go forward, they could only shout: “Security guards! Where are the security guards! Do your job!”

The security guards didn’t know whether to step forward or not.

It was the security captain who came over.

Seeing that Zhao Xuan was about to get up, Shen Zhen stepped down on Zhao Xuan’s face.

Captain: “This gentleman…..”

Shen Zhen ignored him, and said to Zhao Xuan who was on the ground, “Stand up.”

Zhao Xuan: “…..” You not only hit me, you even want me to take your beating while standing up?

Shen Zhen raised his leg.

Zhao Xuan endured the pain and hurriedly stood up.

Grimacing in pain the whole time.

“Apologize.” Shen Zhen said.

Zhao Xuan looked at Shen Zhen’s legs, clutched his stomach, and said with difficulty: “I’m, I’m…..I’m sorry.”

Shen Zhen: “Remember to bow and speak louder.”

Zhao Xuan: “Don’t you go too far…..”

He fell down again.

Everyone turned their heads, the scene in front of them was too bloody and violent.

Zhao Xuan was ordered by Shen Zhen to stand up again.

Shen Zhen: “Apologize.”

Zhao Xuan lowered his head in humiliation, and bowed ninety degrees to Shen Zhen.

Shen Zhen: “Again.”

Zhao Xuan stared at Shen Zhen with wide eyes.

But this time Zhao Xuan didn’t dare to resist, so he bowed again.

Shen Zhen: “Again.”

…..

“Again.”

…..

“Again.”

Zhao Xuan: “Go ahead and beat me to death! I won’t bow anymore!”

Shen Zhen sneered: “You bowed wrongly for so long, yet I didn’t beat you up, I just asked you to do it all over again, I’m already very gentle with you.”

Zhao Xuan: “…..”

Zhao Xuan turned his head and asked his companions: “Did I bow wrong?”

The several people also looked confused.

There was one who understood a bit more: “Mr. Zhao, your hands should be laid flat against the seam of your trousers.”

Zhao Xuan: “…..”

Why so particular about bowing?

Zhao Xuan bowed again, and then said: “I’m sorry.”

This time he didn’t mumble, he really didn’t want to keep bowing.

Shen Zhen: “I accept your apology.”

Zhao Xuan heaved a sigh of relief.

Shen Zhen: “You forgot to apologize to the other person.”

Zhao Xuan: “Who?”

Shen Zhen looked at him coldly.

Zhao Xuan could only reluctantly walk up to the security guard, and say lowly, “I’m sorry.”

Shen Zhen was not far away: “Bow.”

Zhao Xuan painfully bowed over again.

Once he found out who this kid who beat him was, he would definitely teach him a lesson. It was never too late for a gentleman to take revenge, and if Han Xin could bear the humiliation, how could Zhao Xuan not bear the same? (TN: Han Xin, famous general of first Han emperor Liu Bang, who was forced to crawl through between someone’s legs. It is now used as an idiom to describe a humiliating incident and originated from the incident when Han Xin was bullied by a hooligan)

Compared with Han Xin’s humiliation…..Zhao Xuan felt that he was not particularly miserable.

The security guard looked at Zhao Xuan who was bowing and apologizing to him with a complicated expression. For some reason, the corners of his eyes were a little wet. He joined the army after graduating from high school and served as a volunteer soldier for three years. When he retired, he received several ten thousand yuan which he then handed over to his parents back in his hometown, and then came to the big city to make a living.

The salary of a security guard depended on the venue where the security guard was employed.

His mother had diabetes and needed injections every day.

His dad had lung cancer at an early stage, and he could still be cured, but the treatment required money. The old couple hadn’t bought insurance yet, so he could only find a way to find a job to earn money.

Working as a security guard in this kind of place, the salary was 4,000 yuan a day, but in other places, the salary was only 4,000 yuan a month.

But in such venues, it was common to be verbally abused by others. This was the first time for him to work as a security guard at such a venue, and the captain gave him this opportunity because he knew about his family’s situation.

The security guard felt regret when he was pulled away by the captain.

He didn’t have any capital, and he couldn’t even maintain his dignity.

After Zhao Xuan apologized, the security guard suddenly felt that the air he breathed became fresh, and he said, “It’s okay.”

Zhao Xuan hurriedly walked towards his companions, his lower abdomen hurt badly and he clutched his stomach, walking over with a stooped figure.

He must find out who this kid was!

Zhao Xuan clenched his teeth, he wanted this kid to pay the price!

“Young Master Shen!” A figure familiar to Zhao Xuan trotted over. Zhao Xuan knew this person. When he came to this city he specially paid the other a visit. He was the young master of the Chen Group, a leader in the food industry. When talking to him, the other barely even spared him a look. But Zhao Xuan was not angry either, after all there was almost a trench in difference between them.

Yet now…..

“Young Master Shen.” Chen Ye walked over with a smile, “Mr. Qin asked me to come out and take a look, you were late.”

Shen Zhen walked over: “Something happened.”

Chen Ye looked around, noticed Zhao Xuan who was clutching his stomach, and said to Shen Zhen, “Young Master Shen, why don’t you leave it to me?”

Shen Zhen: “No need to bother you, he should realize his mistake, let’s go.”

Chen Ye glanced at Zhao Xuan, smiled and replied, “Okay.”

Anyway, he had already memorized this face, so if Shen Zhen regretted it later, he could still show Shen Zhen goodwill.

After Shen Zhen and Chen Ye left, Zhao Xuan’s whole body began shaking like a leaf. Who…..Who did he just offend?

“Young Master Shen…..” The person next to him said, “There is only one person who can be called Young Master Shen, and that is the current boss of Huitong Real Estate.”

“Then isn’t he supposed to be called CEO Shen?”

“You don’t understand, everyone in their circle calls him that, and I don’t understand either.”

Thump.

“Mr. Zhao, do you need to go to the hospital? Look at you, you are even kneeling over.”

“Do you need to see a doctor?”

Zhao Xuan: “I’m fine, I…..I want some quiet.”

How could he be so unlucky! Pretending to be a bigshot only to put himself in a pit.

When he arrived at the lounge, Shen Zhen saw Qin Xing sitting in the front seat at a glance. Qin Xing smiled at him: “Xiao Zhen, come to me.”

Shen Zhen walked over and bent down. Qin Xing naturally reached out and rubbed Shen Zhen’s earlobe, with a smile in his tone: “What’s wrong? Were you bullied? That your expression is so dark?”

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

Shen Zhen shook his head: “No.”

Qin Xing smiled and said, “If you are bullied, tell me, and I will vent your anger for you.”

Shen Zhen felt that the feeling of being spoiled was really a sweet torment. If he became a hedonistic rich boy, it must not be his fault.

It was rare for Shen Zhen to have a rest day. He had been working without a break for almost two months. He worked more than twelve hours a day and suffered from severe lack of sleep. But the strange thing was that his skin condition seemed to still be fine, and there were no dark circles or bags under the eyes, he just seemed a bit listless. So he could only temporarily put down what he was doing and take a good rest for two days.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

He himself knew that there was no way around it. It seemed important to understand theory and do practical things, but if theory was not practiced, it would always be just talk on paper.

Likewise, when he recruited employees, he also liked to recruit ones with experience and achievements.

Seeing that the boss was working so hard, the employees below also followed suit. After all, the bonuses and commissions were real.

Several older employees also persuaded Shen Zhen not to work too hard, at least not to work like his life was on the line. He would even be on the computer while eating, and just stuff a few mouthfuls.

Shen Zhen said to them wearily: “I work harder now, so I can relax in the future.”

The older staff did not persuade him then.

On the rest day, Shen Zhen went to bed at 8 o’clock the night before, and slept until 2 o’clock in the afternoon the next day. He only got out of bed because he was too hungry. Mama Zhang had already prepared meals, which could be eaten after heated a little. Even if at home there were only two people she still made a big meal, three dishes, one soup, and small desserts after dinner.

“Xiao Zhen…..” Mama Zhang hesitated to speak.

Shen Zhen raised his eyebrows: “Mama Zhang, what’s wrong?”

Mama Zhang hesitated for a while, then said in a low voice, “You said last time, to let my son move here, is it still okay?”

A mother always misses her own child. She felt guilty and dared not face her own child, and only finally spoke up after considering until now.

“Sure.” Shen Zhen smiled at Mama Zhang, “Anyway, I’m not often at home, so even if you feel guilty, don’t spoil him too much.”

The mother was working hard outside to earn money to support a blood-sucking family. If Mama Zhang’s son put all his hatred on Mama Zhang, then Shen Zhen could let him come in standing up and go out crawling on his knees.

Mama Zhang finally had a smile on her face: “Ai.”

At six o’clock in the afternoon, Shen Zhen was about to go out. He had made an appointment with Qin Xing in advance to attend a business party. This kind of party had no special significance, just listening to the people making speeches on the stage. But it was a large-scale business event, where almost all the CEOs of large and medium-sized enterprises would come.

They came to share their successful experiences——most of them just said what everyone could say. As for the real successful experiences, no one with a normal mind would share their cards.

Qin Xing was of course invited.

Shen Zhen went to listen to the experience of the older generation. Although there might not be any gains, it was always good to listen.

Qin Xing’s driver was waiting for Shen Zhen outside the building. The driver looked happy. Every time he came to pick up Young Master Shen, his monthly bonus would be much higher. Although his overall salary was quite high, who didn’t like more money?

“Young Master Shen, Mr. Qin went over first.” The driver smiled at Shen Zhen.

Shen Zhen nodded: “Don’t drive too fast on the road, pay attention to safety.”

Then he fastened his seat belt.

The driver also said: “There are very few people like Young Master Shen who pay attention to traffic laws.”

Before he came to the Qin family, he was also a driver. Most people didn’t wear seat belts in the back seat of the car, usually only when sitting in the front passenger’s seat.

Shen Zhen: “Safety first.”

The driver was a chatterbox. Usually when Qin Xing was in the car, he pretended to be mute. Now that Qin Xing was not in the car, the driver started to be eager for a chat. He said, “Ai, it’s getting darker and earlier recently.”

It was six o’clock now, but it was almost dark.

Shen Zhen: “En.”

The driver added: “Mr. Qin has not had a good appetite recently.”

Shen Zhen: “…..”

The driver pretended to be worried: “Ai, I found that Mr. Qin’s appetite is better when he is with Young Master Shen.”

Shen Zhen looked up at the driver’s face in the rearview mirror, what exactly was he trying to say?

Driver: “Eldest Young Master Qin seems to be coming back. He did not have a good time abroad.”

The driver had an expression that spoke “I’m just talking casually” and said: “I heard that he messed up on a project, so Mr. Qin told him to come back and sent Young Lady Shan to go over.”

Let Qin Shan go abroad to take over Qin Yue’s seat?

Indeed, only Qin Shan could go abroad now.

Don’t even think about Qin Meng, he was just like Shen Li, and relied on others to support him all his life.

Shen Zhen: “Driver Zhao, it’s not good for you to tell me about the Qin family, right?”

The driver was taken aback, it was Mr. Qin who told him to reveal all this, so should he say that it was on Mr. Qin’s orders? The driver was caught in a dilemma, and finally had a flash of inspiration: “Mr. Qin said that Young Master Shen is much more important than Eldest Young Master Qin.”

Shen Zhen was taken aback.

The driver found that Shen Zhen didn’t ask any more questions, and he was relieved, feeling that he had escaped unscathed.

Shen Zhen looked out the window with no expression on his face. He still didn’t understand why Qin Xing suddenly treated him so well, so good that he even unconsciously put down his guard when facing Qin Xing. What was the difference between this life and the previous life?

In his previous life, he loved the wrong person and took the wrong path, but he was still him, his personality had not changed, and his height and weight had not changed.

Qin Xing’s heart, it was as deep as the sea.

When we arrived at the clubhouse, the parking lot outside the clubhouse was already full. Shen Zhen didn’t wear a suit today. This kind of business party was actually not so formal. Most people came here just to go through the motions. Only those who gave speeches would wear it.

Shen Zhen, who was dressed in casual clothes, didn’t look so serious either.

When entering the door, Shen Zhen was stopped by the doorman.

“Sir, this meeting is not open to the public, please show the invitation card.”

Shen Zhen took out his mobile phone and showed the electronic invitation to the doorman. After the doorman confirmed it, he still had to go through a security check.

Now it was normal for this kind of meeting to go through security checks. Ten years ago, a depressed criminal broke into a meeting. Not only did he suffer from mental illness, but he also hated the rich. Although the range of his soil gun was not far, it was very lethal at close range, and three people died on the spot. (TN: a soil gun refers to a gun made by indigenous methods)

Since then, security measures have been taken very carefully for such meetings.

The meeting had yet to start, and Qin Xing was supposed to be in the lounge. Shen Zhen was about to go find Qin Xing when he heard someone talking about him.

“Mr. Zhao, look at that young man, he is also young, and he can come to such a meeting. Sure enough, the current world is the world of you young people.”

“Yeah, Mr. Zhao is only twenty-five this year, right? You started from scratch, and now your company is so big. That kid looks like a second-generation rich kid, living off his ancestral wealth. How can he compare with Mr. Zhao?”

“That’s right, how talented is Mr. Zhao? Comparing him with the rich second generation? That’s too insulting to Mr. Zhao.”

The first person who spoke was so embarrassed that he could only smile awkwardly.

Just what kind of bad luck did he stumble on, that a small business owner like him could attend the meeting was completely out of luck, and it was really amazing to be able to even come to this kind of meeting led by industry giants once.

They were all from the same province, and big companies that were more powerful than them would not socialize with them, so they could only ingratiate themselves to Zhao Xuan, who owned the largest company in their group.

After all, after coming out here once, they had to make some connections.

Shen Zhen stopped, and turned his head impatiently to the people sitting on the sofa and said, “When you speak ill of someone, remember to keep your voice down.”

Maybe they thought that they were whispering?

Shen Zhen was about to leave, but a middle-aged man stiffened his neck after embarrassment and said, “We didn’t say anything wrong.”

The people behind pulled him, but the middle-aged man felt like he had lost face, so he didn’t let go: “Otherwise, how could you come to such a meeting at such a young age? The rich second generation is just the rich second generation. So what if you admit it?”

“Brother Li.” The young man opened his mouth and interrupted the middle-aged man. He was very young, with his hair combed back, wearing a black suit, full of the aura of a successful person. He stood up, walked towards Shen Zhen and stretched out his hand , “My surname is Zhao, Zhao Xuan.”

Shen Zhen was insulted inexplicably, was stopped inexplicably, and finally was asked to shake hands by a person who had just gathered with others to slander him behind his back inexplicably.

Shen Zhen felt that these people probably had brain problems, right?

If you don’t step on others to praise another, then wouldn’t there be no issue?

“What?” Shen Zhen asked indifferently.

Zhao Xuan frowned, and withdrew his empty hand: “The business world is unpredictable, and it’s better to be friends than to become enemies.”

Shen Zhen: “This is something you have to worry about.”

Zhao Xuan: “…..”

Why was this person so disrespectful to him?

“Hey, do you know who Mr. Zhao is?” The several middle-aged men with big bellies were filled with righteous indignation, “You don’t even shake hands, you don’t even know to be polite, how will you make it in the business world?”

They were not afraid of this kind of rich second generation. At most, they would just have a small company under their name. If they were really the heirs of a big company, they would already be in the lounge by now. How could they be in the lobby with people like them?

Among the people in the hall, the most successful one was Zhao Xuan.

This gave Zhao Xuan pride.

“Get out of the way.” Shen Zhen said expressionlessly.

Zhao Xuan didn’t move.

Shen Zhen: “Good dogs don’t get in the way.”

Zhao Xuan inhaled: “Who are you calling a dog?”

Shen Zhen sneered: “You.”

“Don’t know how tall the sky is!” Zhao Xuan was furious. He had never been angry like this before. In their locality, he was a new entrepreneur yet those who were stronger than him were willing to make friends with him, and those who were weaker than him were even more fawning on him. He had never been slapped in the face like this before, and it was even in front of so many people.

Zhao Xuan took a deep breath: “You don’t know who I am, I won’t quibble with you.”

Shen Zhen didn’t care what he was saying: “Why are you still in the way?”

Zhao Xuan stared at him closely.

“Security!” Shen Zhen shouted, “There are dogs blocking the way.”

Security guard: “…..”

Ai, he was just a little security guard who did a lot of work for a small salary.

He didn’t dare to offend anyone, how about letting go of this hard-working little security guard?

The security guard came over with a look of despair.

However, Zhao Xuan took out his wallet from his pocket, threw a stack of hundred-yuan bills on the ground, and said to the security guard, “Get out of the way, and these are all yours.”

The security guard froze in place.

How insulting was it to throw money on the ground at others?

Being a security guard was a menial job, but people who do menial jobs also have dignity.

“This gentleman.” The security guard who didn’t dare to get involved had a dark face, “Please follow me over there.”

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

Zhao Xuan said impatiently: “I told you to get lost, don’t you understand? Is this money not enough? I’ll give you double!”

After speaking, he threw another wad of cash on the ground.

Shen Zhen was speechless, even the nouveau riche had more class than this person, right?

“CEO Shen, please take a look at this project.” The assistant placed the document on Shen Zhen’s desk. Shen Zhen was now running back and forth between both companies such that he had a big headache. He knew that this was because his ability was not strong enough. Qin Xing had so many businesses under him, but he was not as busy as he was. He only understood the tip of the iceberg on a lot of things. If he wanted to understand in depth, it was not enough to just watch and listen. He had to participate in these projects himself.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

Shen Zhen took the project list, read it carefully twice, and then asked, “When will the bid be made?”

The assistant quickly said, “March next year.”

That piece of land was originally a wasteland, there were no residents around, there was no bus line, the subway was still under construction, and the highway was not close by either. Shen Zhen didn’t have much of an impression of this piece of land. Relying on the memory of his previous life would not work. Shen Zhen said: “Call for a meeting before getting off work.”

Assistant: “Yes, CEO Shen.”

The book did not record everything in detail, sometimes the next chapter took place a few years later, but these years still have to be lived a day at a time, and the people in the story were still moving.

After the meeting, Shen Zhen left the company after the bottom line of the bidding price was determined.

Shen Li was being led by his senior to look at the data. The senior had a bad temper, but he had a lot of skills. At the beginning, Shen Li retorted back at him, but after being yelled at countless times, he behaved——because this senior was too big and strong-looking. He could tell at a glance that he wouldn’t beat the other in a fight, in fact he would definitely be hammered.

Seeing Shen Zhen getting out of the elevator, Shen Li wanted to file a complaint. It was best to fire this senior who was so fierce to him and let him know he had backing. However, when Shen Zhen stepped out, he didn’t even spare him a look and the senior was still glaring stared at him on the side. Shen Li could only continue to listen to the senior’s ramblings with a despairing face.

He swore that when he got into the management level, he would definitely drive out this ignorant senior!

The road ahead was long and lengthy.

Shen Zhen was going to see the Su siblings tonight. He brought them both to meet a lot of people a while ago, but Shen Zhen didn’t know if they had benefited or not. It just so happened that the Su siblings wanted to invite him to dinner, so Shen Zhen agreed.

The cooperation project was given to them, and the contacts were also given to them. If the Su family still couldn’t get themselves together, even the gods wouldn’t be able to save them.

Su Yutong was wearing casual clothes, and when he saw Shen Zhen from a distance, he waved hello. He had a smile on his face, and his whole person looked completely new compared to before, the gloom between his brows completely disappearing.

“Brother Shen.” Su Yutong smiled and walked over, Su Jinghan also smiled at Shen Zhen, “Brother Shen.”

Shen Zhen was also hungry, and the three of them went to their reserved private room in the hotel restaurant and waited for the food to be served.

As soon as Su Yutong sat in his seat, he started talking nonstop. He never knew the world could be like this. Now when he went out to socialize, no longer did people point at him behind his back. Everyone had proper and polite smiles on their faces. Although they knew that these smiles were not sincere from the heart, but how many people in this world were sincere to others? It was already good to just look sincere on the surface.

The companies that had previously rejected the Su family have now offered olive branches one after another.

Su Yutong knew that for these companies, it didn’t make much difference who they cooperate with, but cooperating with their Su family was to show goodwill without harming their own interests.

The young masters who used to be sneering and sarcastic as soon as they saw him now had to smile in front of him.

The atmosphere at home was also unprecedentedly good.

There was no youngest uncle making trouble at home, and no Su Shiqing making trouble outside. Such a life was really comfortable indeed. Their company’s turnover and stock were also rising steadily. Sometimes Su Yutong woke up and worried that everything now was just a dream.

After waking up from the dream, he still had to continue to worry over trivial things, getting a headache every day over Su Shiqing, and helping his father reason with his youngest uncle.

“My youngest uncle came back again.” Su Yutong was gossiping about his own family, “Su Shiqing left him and my youngest aunt in Qin Yue’s house. They ran out of money and went to find Su Shiqing, but the Chu family refused to let them in. Now they can only be shameless and go back to the Su family.”

Su Jinghan was peeling shrimp beside him, and said with a smile, “Dad didn’t let them in.”

After finally getting rid of the family’s troublemaker, they would be brainless to let them come back again.

Although Father Su still had feelings for his little brother, as the head of the family, if his words have no weight and change from day to day, then how could he convince the public? Not to mention Su Yuan, even his other younger brothers probably wouldn’t take him seriously.

After all, the price to pay for offending him was really too little.

Shen Zhen didn’t have much thought about the Su family’s affairs, so he just hummed.

Su Yutong said quickly: “Brother Shen, I will treat you as my own brother from now on. If you want me to do anything, just ask me.”

He almost didn’t pat his chest to guarantee the ticket.

Shen Zhen wiped his mouth with a napkin, without much expression: “En.”

After parting ways, Su Yutong whispered to Su Jinghan, “Sister, I don’t think Brother Shen has any hostility towards our Su family, he just simply hates Su Shiqing.”

Su Jinghan breathed out through her nostrils: “Who doesn’t hate Su Shiqing?”

Su Yutong: “…..It seems that everyone likes him except us.”

Su Jinghan: “That’s because they have blind eyes, and their eyes are covered with feces!”

Su Yutong didn’t expect that his elder sister, who was always praised by the elders as a lady, could say such a thing. Su Yutong stammered and said: “Sister…..that…..don’t talk about uh, feces. “

Su Jinghan smiled slightly, and turned into a gentle and polite rich lady again. She took her brother’s arm and whispered, “I only talk like this in front of you.”

Su Yutong had no choice, after all they were twins, he could only be the trash can for his older sister. However, Su Yutong said: “I think Brother Shen was is good, and our ages are not so apart, and Brother Shen doesn’t have a girlfriend…..Sister…..”

Su Jinghan was taken aback, she shook her head and said, “Don’t be so daring with your words, I have no other feelings for Shen Zhen.”

“I think Brother Shen is pretty good. Although he looks cold, you don’t need to worry that he will be unfaithful and he also has his own company. He is rich and has status. The most important thing is that he is young, and there is the Qin family behind him.” Su Yutong didn’t understand, “What are you dissatisfied with?”

Su Jinghan took a deep breath: “The situation at home is so much better now, yet you don’t want to take this opportunity to completely lift up the family, but you want to sell your sister for glory?”

Su Yutong: “Sister, your words are very strange. I just listed Brother Shen’s conditions.”

Su Jinghan: “Then go yourself, I trust you.”

Su Yutong mumbled: “Forget it if you don’t like him, it’s not like I said anything.”

At this time, Su Shiqing also learned about the current situation of the Su family from Chu Haoyi’s mouth. He sat by the bed and didn’t know what to feel. He thought that without him, the Su family would go downhill. After all, if he was there, Ah Yue would take care of the Su family, but now that he was not part of the Su family, the Su family was instead getting better and better. This gap in reality made him unable to breathe.

What scared him the most was that there had been no news from Qin Yue this whole time. He knew that Qin Yue loved him deeply, but he also needed to live his life. Now Chu Haoyi was his only life-saving rope. He couldn’t lose Chu Haoyi, at least before Qin Yue returned, the Chu family was his only refuge.

But he was not doing well in the Chu family. Mrs. Chu didn’t like Chu Haoyi, the illegitimate son, and she hadn’t said a word to her husband for nearly two years because of this. Although Mr. Chu treated this only son who was also not raised by his side very well, but not well enough to treat Su Shiqing well for his son’s sake.

What’s more, being born in such a family, marriage was also a bargaining chip. If Chu Haoyi got married obediently, Mr. Chu wouldn’t care if he played around with men, but the fact that playing around actually turned into love, to extent he wasn’t willing to get married, Mr. Chu couldn’t stand this at all.

So in the Chu family, Su Shiqing was also a marginal person. Even if the servants like him, even Chu Haoyi’s half-sisters also like him, but without the approval of the elders, he couldn’t get any benefits at all.

“Hao Yi.” Su Shiqing looked at Chu Haoyi with tears in his eyes, “I have nothing now, if you leave me too, I really don’t know what I should do.”

Chu Haoyi comforted: “Shi Qing, don’t think too much, I will protect you and let you live a good life, no one will bully you, and I won’t let you be wronged again.”

At this time, the sky had gradually darkened, Chu Haoyi looked at his watch, and said, “Go to bed early, I will take you to recognize people tomorrow.”

He wanted to introduce Su Shiqing to his friends.

Su Shiqing showed a flattered expression, but soon became depressed: “I, I am a cripple now…..”

“No.” Chu Haoyi looked at Su Shiqing seriously, with a earnest and deep expression, “You are complete in my heart.”

“Hao Yi…..” Su Shiqing was moved.

“You should rest earlier.” Chu Haoyi stood up.

At this moment, Su Shiqing grabbed Chu Haoyi’s hand. He lowered his head, face blushing red, and his voice was small like a mosquito buzz: “You…..don’t leave tonight.”

Su Shiqing understood one thing at that moment just now, that was, he loved Chu Haoyi. Although he also loved Qin Yue, falling in love was not something one could control. He felt that all his actions came from emotions that could not be restrained.

“Shi Qing, do you know what you’re saying?” Chu Haoyi looked at Su Shiqing.

Su Shiqing nodded slightly.

But Chu Haoyi didn’t answer, he just said: “Shi Qing, you’re just too tired, you should rest first, I’m going back to my room now.”

After speaking, he didn’t give Su Shiqing another chance to say anymore, and left the guest room where Su Shiqing was staying as if fleeing.

Chu Haoyi returned to his room, took out his mobile phone, and pulled up the photo album, which contained a photo of him and Su Shiqing in his childhood. Su Shiqing was the only ray of sunshine he saw in his childhood. He was like a traveler walking in the dark. When he saw a beam of light, he started to run wildly, thinking that that beam of light was everything in his life.

But now…..

He seemed less sure.

Su Shiqing hadn’t broken up with Qin Yue yet, and some time ago he even told him that he loved Qin Yue deeply.

If he really loved the other deeply, how could he say such a thing just now?

Love was inherently full of possessiveness and exclusivity.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

Chu Haoyi threw the phone aside, feeling very upset.

He wished that Su Shiqing belonged to him, but not in this kind of situation.

It was as if the pure garden in his heart had been polluted, and the strong and kind person he loved also had a greedy and social climbing side.
