The boss of Honghe was surnamed Lu. Lu He was not very daring but was very shrewd. He used to run an Internet cafe. At that time, the Internet cafe industry was just emerging and he made his first capital by doing this. His luck was not bad and he opened several Internet cafes and earned a lot of money. With this money, he started a small company.

The company also had its own research and development projects, but his money was not enough, so he concentrated on making “copies”. He first made web games, which were generally played by few people, but as long as one could attract a few rich players, not only could one earn back the initial investment, but also earn a lot of profit.

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

So after running the game for a few months, he would then abandon it after earning enough money, never updating it again.

Later, he found that making web games did not make as much money as apps, so he copied other people’s apps, or bought apps developed by other companies, and then resold them.

This was an emerging industry, with cheap ones and expensive ones, and it all depended on how he could fool people.

But no matter what, Honghe belonged to the lower level among enterprise companies.

Lu He bought nearly ten completed apps from Chen Zian, and spent more than one million yuan. But before he got the chance to resell it, he received a call from Shen Zhen, which threw him in a panic.

“CEO Shen.” Lu He came to the door of Shen Zhen’s company by himself, dressed in a suit. Because his beer belly was too big, he couldn’t even button it, and had to leave the suit jacket open. He stretched out his hand to shake hands with Shen Zhen.

Shen Zhen: “There’s no need to shake hands, CEO Lu, come in.”

Lu He’s smile froze on his face, and he followed Shen Zhen into the company in embarrassment.

Probably because no one expected that Lu He would really come.

The employees who were working could not help looking up at him, their eyes full of contempt and hatred. If not for the fact that they knew they couldn’t do anything, they would have rushed over to beat him up.

Sweat dripped from Lu He’s forehead.

He didn’t expect that he would end up stubbing his toe after all this time.

“Let’s talk here.” Shen Zhen didn’t take him to his office or the conference room, but had him sit on the sofa in the office area with him.

Lu He smiled with difficulty and said, “CEO Shen, it’s not good to talk here, is it?”

Shen Zhen also smiled: “What’s not good about this, in fact it can let my employees know how our source code was leaked.”

Lu He swallowed, and told himself in his heart that doing business was to be flexible.

Endure the temporary calm and take a step back to open up the sea and the sky. (TN: phrase for enduring something in exchange for brighter prospects)

Losing face was better than being accused of tax evasion and then going to jail.

Shen Zhen also asked his assistant to pour a glass of water for Lu He, and said to the employees: “You all can take a break for a few minutes to listen to what CEO Lu has to say.”

“By the way, where is Chen Zian?”

An employee said: “Brother Chen went out to discuss business today.”

Shen Zhen’s lips curled into a smile: “Really, he is quite diligent.”

Employee: “Yes, Brother Chen has always been like this. He rarely takes a break, and he works really hard.”

Shen Zhen waved his hand: “I see.”

“CEO Lu, you can start talking now.” Shen Zhen said to Lu He.

Lu He wiped at his sweat and said with a smile, “Where do I start?”

Shen Zhen: “What do you think?”

Lu He quickly said, “I know, I know.”

“It’s like this…..Originally, our company received a lot of orders, and this year there are nearly a hundred projects.”

“Some of these projects are expensive and some are cheap.”

“Towards the cheaper ones, we just apply our previous coding and repackage it.”

“As for the expensive ones…..we basically bought them from outside.”

Shen Zhen nodded, and said with a gentle smile, “Then why did you choose my company?”

Lu He slapped his thigh: “I didn’t know this was your company, if I knew, I definitely wouldn’t…..”

Looking at Shen Zhen’s eyes, Lu He immediately changed his tone: “I would definitely not do this kind of thing anymore! If you want to make money, you must rely on your own hard power, and one can’t always think about stealing other people’s things.”

Shen Zhen said to the employees: “If you have any questions, just ask directly.”

The employees looked at each other, and someone asked, “Then who did you steal it from? Is there someone in the company you bribed?”

Lu He swallowed, thinking to himself: I’m sorry buddy, in this situation I can only betray you.

“I bought it from Chen Zian.”

“Impossible!”

“Exactly! This APP was also the painstaking effort of Brother Chen, why would he sell it to you!”

“You are speaking slander!”

Lu He hurriedly said: “He told me that it was impossible for him to work here for others forever, and he also said…..the boss is just a rich second generation, and he doesn’t know how hard it is to run a company. He has been working for so long, but he didn’t even get any shares of the company, and rather than working for such a boss, it’s better to go out and set up his own company by himself.”

“Also…..” Lu He was a little afraid to say.

The employees stood together: “What else?”

Lu He said in a small voice: “He also said that the employees of the company were all mentored by him. They are all idiots. Without him, nothing can be done well. Without him, this company would be finished. At that time, he would be able to hire them over to his company with low wages, and the employees would even thank him for giving them the opportunity to work.”

“You’re lying!”

“You spew sh*t out of your mouth!”

Lu He was also upset now: “Why would I tell this lie? Will I gain a few pounds or grow a few more hairs? I still have the recording of the phone call he made with me, do you want to listen to it?”

“Of course we want to listen!”

Lu He took out his mobile phone, turned on the recording, and turned the volume to the maximum. The employees all fell silent and listened carefully.

“CEO Lu, I’m Chen Zian.”

“I’ve sorted out the source codes of the several apps you mentioned before, and I’ll send them to your email address directly, or we can make an appointment to meet and I’ll give you the USB drive?”

“No trouble, no trouble, I’ll come out and give it to you directly.”

Lu He’s voice sounded: “What are you still there? If you are discovered, you will be in trouble.”

Chen Zian seemed to be smiling: “It’s fine, no one in our company will suspect me. When the time comes, I will leave and set up my own business. After the company over here closes down, I will hire them back again, saving the need to go through a recruiting process.”

After the recording was played, no one said a word, the whole company was silent, and a needle might even be heard clearly if it fell on the ground.

It took the employees a long time to find their voices: “Brother Chen…..why would he do this? Just to go out and start his own business?”

“We have worked so hard for so many days, and he sold our hard work so easily?”

Lu He quickly said: “It’s actually quite simple. He got more than one million yuan for those several apps.”

Everyone: “…..”

Lu He looked at Shen Zhen with a smile again: “CEO Shen, I’ve explained everything, can I go?”

Shen Zhen nodded: “You can go, CEO Lu, remember to be more careful in the future.”

Lu He: “Definitely, definitely.”

In the future, he must check clearly, and he would definitely never mess with such a living king of hell again.

Too much trouble!

After Lu He left, Shen Zhen made a call: “Give the evidence of his tax evasion to his opponent, remember to leave a bill.”

He spent a lot of money to buy these materials, so he couldn’t spend his money in vain, right?

Li Xiaolin laughed beside him. There was always someone who thought they could take advantage of Shen Zhen.

But in the end there were no good results.

After Lu He left, the employees of the company all looked mournful.

“Brother Chen…..how could he do such a thing?”

“I trusted Brother Chen so much, I…..”

“I don’t care, he must give us an explanation!”

Shen Zhen smiled and said: “Now there is physical evidence as well as witnesses. The next thing is to meet in court. He should still be going out to start his own company in the future. If anyone wants to follow him, I will not stop you.”

“Who would follow him!”

“Hehe, you may know people, but you may not know their true face, whoever follows him has sh*t for brains!”

The employees were all very infuriated. If Chen Zian was in front of them now, maybe they would even directly tear Chen Zian to pieces.

In the afternoon, Chen Zian finally came to an agreement with someone. He had been negotiating over venues recently. He wanted to start a company, so of course he needed to rent an office building.

With just his savings and the money Lu He gave him, it was only natural to scrimp a bit to start his company.

He rented an office building on the edge of the city, and the price was neither high nor low. After talking with the landlord for several days, he finally got it at a reasonable price. He signed a one-year contract in the afternoon and handed over the money.

Chen Zian’s plan was to deliberately infuriate Shen Zhen during their talk in the afternoon, and wait for Shen Zhen to fire him, so that he could get an extra three months’ salary.

Maybe he could even take his original subordinates with him by the way.

Back at the company, Chen Zian walked through the door, and said to the employees as usual: “You have been busy for so long, why not take a break, I just asked the milk tea shop to send some milk tea up, no need to share the bill, it’s my treat.”

“Combine work and rest, don’t exchaust yourselves.”

The employees looked up at him with complicated eyes.

Brother Chen was usually so kind to them, why was he such a person?

Chen Zian was in a good mood, and he didn’t notice the expressions of the employees. He asked, “Is CEO Shen in the company?”

An employee said sarcastically, “In his office.”

Chen Zian looked at the person who spoke: “Xiao Mei, are you in a bad mood? Your tone is so aggressive today?”

Xiao Mei: “Hehe, I’ve always been aggressive.”

Chen Zian was taken aback: “What happened? Talk to me when you get off work? Let me see if I can help you.”

Xiao Mei rolled her eyes: “No need, I shouldn’t bother you. I can solve my own problems by myself. I’m not an ungrateful wolf.”

Chen Zian didn’t understand, so he asked, “What do you mean? Did you eat explosives?”

Xiao Mei slapped the table: “I didn’t eat any explosives, my stomach hurts, I’m going to the restroom!”

After Xiao Mei left, Chen Zian said to the employees: “Is she in a bad mood today? Forget it, I can understand her bad mood. When she comes back, you all show some care about her. I’ll go to CEO Shen first. There’s something I want to discuss with him.”

“I will definitely find a way to protect your interests. Even if my salary is deducted completely, I won’t let any of you suffer.”

None of the staff seemed interested.

They didn’t look at Chen Zian either, all immersed in their own work.

Chen Zian straightened his collar and walked into the CEO’s  office.

Shen Zhen was sitting on the boss chair, holding a mobile phone in his hand——the one left by Lu He.

“CEO Shen.” Chen Zian had already sat on the sofa in the office, and he said with a smile, “You have been in the company for the past few days, and we are not used to it. When you were away, the company was not like this. The employees were all energetic and efficient.”

Shen Zhen also smiled: “You mean, when I’m here, they have no energy and no work efficiency?”

Chen Zian said: “That’s not what I mean, you think too much, I’m just stating the facts.”

Shen Zhen: “The truth is, I don’t think this company welcomes you very much.”

Chen Zian showed a surprised expression, and he stood up emotionally: “CEO Shen, do you mean to fire me?”

Before Shen Zhen could speak, he shouted loudly: “I have been in the company for so many years, and worked through a lot of projects, I have created so much benefit for the company. If you want to fire me, you must give me a reason, right?”

Shen Zhen sat there, quietly watching him perform.

He wanted to see just what kind of act he could put on.

Chen Zian demanded with an insulted expression: “Give me a reason.”

“Even if I must leave, it must be with conviction.”

Shen Zhen: “Don’t pretend, you sold the source codes of those apps, didn’t you?”

Chen Zian sneered: “In order to drive me away, you even want to frame me for this? Do you think anyone will believe what you said?”

Shen Zhen nodded, with a smile on the corner of his mouth: “As a matter of fact, I do.”

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

Chen Zian: “Then go and tell the employees now that you fired me because I embezzled the company, see if they believe you or not!”

Shen Zhen nodded: “Okay.”

Seeing that Shen Zhen really stood up, Chen Zian sneered in his heart. Sure enough, the rich second generation was the rich second generation. They don’t have brains, and they do whatever they want without thinking. Shen Zhen would on be in for embarrassment later.

Chen Zian shouted at the people outside: “Stop making trouble, CEO Shen is just asking me about the latest events, you guys go back to work.”

Only then did the employees outside dispersed.

This company had changed hands several times, and the also boss kept changing. Only Chen Zian remained the constant. Most of the people in the company were mentored by him. Everyone had feelings and after getting along for so long, in addition to the fact that he always helped them, the employees would definitely stand by Chen Zian’s side.

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

Shen Zhen could also understand.

For example, if Qin Xing had a conflict with someone now, he would definitely stand on Qin Xing’s side first.

People were always more willing to believe in their feelings.

Shen Zhen asked Chen Zian: “Who is the boss of the company who plagiarized us, do you know?”

Chen Zian glanced at Shen Zhen’s face, and said, “It’s Honghe Network Company.”

Shen Zhen: “I’m asking who is the boss.”

Chen Zian asked: “Why do you ask about the boss? Now that things have happened, what we have to do now is to minimize the loss. It is useless to say anything else. You don’t understand this industry, but I do. Just ask me if you don’t understand, I also said that I will bear the responsibility, if you want to deduct money as punishment, you can just deduct it from me alone.”

“Are you educating me?” Shen Zhen asked with a smile.

Chen Zian also seemed to be a little angry, he turned his head and said: “You are the boss, how can I educate you, I am just reasoning with you.”

Shen Zhen smiled and said, “I will deal with this matter.”

Chen Zian: “How do you want to deal with it?”

Shen Zhen: “Of course it’s to reason with others, do you think I would go and have a fight with them?”

Chen Zian quickly smiled and said, “Yes, we should reason.”

Chen Zian smiled on the surface, and also smiled in his heart. He really was a rich second generation, actually talking about reason?

Would others reason with you?

It was ridiculous to think that the world was black and white.

These rich second generations were just relying on their family’s wealth, they couldn’t do practical things, they could only brag.

“It just so happens I can speak with the employees, so that they can be at ease.” Shen Zhen stood up and walked straight out of the door.

Li Xiaolin glared at Chen Zian and followed Shen Zhen out. Chen Zian touched his nose and smiled behind them, but quickly recovered his expression and left the office as well.

The employees were absent-minded about their work. When they saw Shen Zhen and the others coming out, they immediately looked up and stared at them.

“Isn’t this the handsome guy just now? I thought he went to the lounge inside. Why did he come out of the boss’s office?”

“Could it be that he was chatting with Brother Chen in the office just now?”

“Wasn’t the boss chatting with Brother Chen?”

“I thought it was Brother Chen chatting with the boss on the phone…..Then what we said just now…..”

Oh no!

They just let the blood rush to their head for a moment, and let their emotions run off, but if asked to leave this company they really were reluctant to.

Not any company could give such good employee benefits.

They really like Brother Chen, but they were not ready to lose their jobs because of Brother Chen.

Now they were all incredibly embarrassed, because they were afraid that the boss would settle accounts with them.

Shen Zhen stood at the forefront, and he said to the employees: “As for the leak of our APP, I will find someone to investigate, and I will also get in touch with Honghe Network. It will not be so easy to just take away your hard work for such a long period of time.”

“Oh, that’s right, I forgot to introduce myself.”

Shen Zhen smiled and said, “I’m Shen Zhen, and I’m also your boss. I haven’t been to the company much, so it’s normal if you don’t know me.”

The group of people below looked dumbfounded.

Although they knew that the boss was young, this guy was too young, right?! And not just young! He was also so handsome!

“CEO Shen, Brother Chen didn’t cause this. We are all responsible. If you want to deduct wages, don’t just deduct Brother Chen’s.”

“That’s right, CEO Shen, Brother Chen does not have it easy. After spending so many nights with us, the APP also has his own hard work in it. He definitely doesn’t want to see this to happen either.”

Standing behind Shen Zhen, Chen Zian lowered his head and smiled.

This boss was still too young.

But Shen Zhen said at this time: “I didn’t say I will be deducting whose salary. I just want to know how the source code was leaked? I will contact the boss of Honghe first. He should know who leaked it.”

“This APP is made up of your painstaking effort. It took so long to get it out. If I don’t ask someone to find out, wouldn’t your hard work for so long really be in vain?”

“We are also angry, but they will definitely not tell us the truth.”

“That’s right, they’ve already used such dirty means, how can it be that if we just try to reason and they will listen?”

“CEO Shen, you have a solution, right?”

Shen Zhen smiled and said, “What should we do if the source code was leaked by our own people?”

“Who is so heartless? He took the money from the other side? This kind of person should definitely be fired!”

“Sue him! Leaking the company’s confidential documents, the contract must definitely have this written down, they must go to jail, and lose money!”

“That’s right!”

Shen Zhen turned to Chen Zian and said, “Brother Chen, did you hear that?”

Chen Zian raised his head and asked blankly, “Hear what?”

“Hear that the one who leaked the company’s confidential documents will be going to jail and losing money?”

Chen Zian almost laughed out loud.

These legal illiterates.

This was not the National Security Agency. Leaking documents was nothing more than apologizing and losing money.

Losing money was only between 10,000 and 200,000 yuan.

The money he got was more than that.

He really hoped that Shen Zhen would tear down all niceties with him at this moment and fire him from the company, so that he would not only get three months extra salary, but also have a way to convince the employees that Shen Zhen wronged him, and then lead the few most capable people under him away and go out to set up his own business.

He was forty this year, and how could it be possible that he would work for others for the rest of his life?

He now had connections, ability, and money, so of course he wanted to go out and start his own business.

If it wasn’t for him, what use would this group of young people be? How could the company make money? Wasn’t it all thanks to him?

Shen Zhen suddenly said: “It seems that they don’t need to go to jail, they only need to lose money, right?”

Chen Zian lowered his head and said, “I don’t know, why don’t you ask a lawyer?”

Shen Zhen sneered and said: “There’s no need to ask, but I can guarantee that even if they don’t have to go to jail, the consequences facing that person who leaked the documents would not be much better than going to jail, maybe it will even be worse.”

Chen Zian didn’t speak, but lowered his head, wanting to laugh.

The rich second generations were always like this, thinking that they were the king of the world. But what could they say when that time truly came?

The employees were very angry. After all, it was their achievements that were stolen, and it was as if they had been injected with chicken blood right now.

At the beginning, they thought that this loss could only be suffered in silence, maybe their salary would even be deducted, and if it was serious, they would even be fired.

Now that the boss himself came out and said that he would find out the truth, their hearts were relieved.

Many people even felt embarrassed.

“CEO Shen, wwe didn’t mean what we just said outside the office.”

“We just don’t want you to misunderstand Brother Chen. Brother Chen also put a lot of thought into the project and spent many nights on it.”

“Yes, CEO Shen, don’t be angry.”

“CEO Shen, we are also anxious. After all, no one wants to see this kind of thing happen. It was our hard work that was stolen. We are more angry and anxious than anyone else.”

Shen Zhen also smiled at them: “I’m not angry, I’m only angry at the person who leaked the documents, you guys can go back to work. I also happened to have invited the boss of Honghe to come over for a meeting, so if you have any questions, we can just ask him directly.”

Everyone was stunned:

“Will he really come?”

“Impossible, he dares to come here after doing such a thing?”

Shen Zhen just smiled, but said nothing.

He turned around and glanced at Chen Zian, who was still pretending to be dumb.

He was probably sure that he could find nothing, and even if he could find out something, he would not find any evidence.

Practically the model of “until all is over one’s ambition never dies.”

When Shen Zhen left, he said to Li Xiaolin: “Have someone investigate the boss of Honghe. Money is not a problem. The key is to check his taxes.”

Li Xiaolin finally had a smile on her face: “Understood.”

The boss of Honghe also thought so when he received the call from Shen Zhen.

He paid a high price to buy the source code from Chen Zian, would he admit his crime so easily? Wasn’t that simply ridiculous?

“I won’t say much else.” Shen Zhen said, “I don’t intend for you to remove the app. What I want is for you to come and explain the matter clearly. You don’t want the evidence of tax evasion on your side to be reported, right?”

Honghe CEO: “Ai, don’t talk nonsense, who evaded taxes? As a…..”

Shen Zhen said coldly: “Don’t pretend, do you want me to send you the information?”

“I won’t send it out, I’ll just read it to you.” Shen Zhen took the document handed over by Li Xiaolin and recited the words on it.

The other side finally panicked: “Brother, don’t be so ruthless, I’ll come, I’ll come right away, can I bring two bodyguards?”

Shen Zhen: “I have no objection to you bringing bodyguards. My main purpose is not to mess with you. Also, you come up with the compensation yourself.”

The boss of Honghe felt that he was really unlucky.

He said, “I have something to do today, can I come tomorrow?”

He needed a day to prepare himself mentally. How did his income and expenditure leak out?

Sitting next to him, Li Xiaolin said, “These materials cost a lot of money.”

There was no information that money could not buy, only the question of whether there was enough or not.

It was too common for large companies to find ways to avoid taxes, but most of them took legal ways to avoid taxes.

However, there were also those who were rather daring. There were not many legal tax avoidance methods, but there were many illegal ones.

Shen Zhen took a sip of tea: “The result is worth it.”

Li Xiaolin said: “That surnamed Chen is really good at buying people’s hearts.”

Shen Zhen: “This can be regarded as talent and personal ability.”

Some people were a natural at buying people’s hearts.

Even if they did something wrong, they could make others stand by him.

Always taking the moral high ground.

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

Such people were uncommon, but they do exist.

If they also happened to be immoral, it was a recipe for trouble.

Shen Zhen felt a little pity, if Chen Zian didn’t cause such a thing to happen, he felt that he should even give Chen Zian a raise.

“CEO Shen, please look at this document.” Li Xiaolin handed the document to Shen Zhen.

She said with concern: “CEO Shen, you didn’t sleep well last night? The dark circles under your eyes came out.”

With dark circles under his eyes, Shen Zhen said without guilt, “I slept too late last night.”

Li Xiaolin didn’t know the truth: “Recently there have been a lot of things going on, CEO Shen should take care of his body and don’t get too tired.”

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

Shen Zhen picked up the document, and he found the problem after flipping through a few pages.

“Last quarter’s profit?” Shen Zhen looked at Li Xiaolin.

Li Xiaolin nodded her head and said, “There was a problem with the network information side.”

Li Xiaolin recounted the situation, and Shen Zhen felt a headache.

The current head of the network information company was called Chen Zian. He was an old senior worker there and had been in the company from the beginning. Shen Zhen also treated him as he deserved, increased salary and bonuses, onl y more and never less.

And he indeed performed really well before, and his report results for several quarters were very good.

But this month the profit not only fell sharply, several projects that were originally negotiated on were implemented ahead of schedule by other companies.

Shen Zhen didn’t believe that there was no traitor here.

All signs indicated that the traitor was Chen Zian.

Shen Zhen rubbed at his forehead, and asked Li Xiaolin, “Are you sure?”

Li Xiaolin: “It was also reported to me by Manager Zhang from over there. Whether it is true or not has not yet been determined.”

“Then let’s start the investigation.” Shen Zhen, “You bring the documents, and we’ll go straight over.”

Li Xiaolin nodded, packed up the documents, then called the driver and told him to drive and wait downstairs in the company.

Sitting in the car, Shen Zhen was looking at Chen Zian’s information. After all, he was the head manager, so his information was quite complete. Chen Zian was a local, and his grades were good when he was in school. After graduation, he started from a lowly office worker and slowly climbed up. He had mentored many newcomers and been in charge of many projects as well. In terms of qualifications and abilities, his employee treatment could be considered to be at the top of the industry.

Shen Zhen couldn’t believe that he would leak the company’s confidential projects to competitors.

Li Xiaolin whispered, “Maybe Manager Zhang is jealous of him?”

Shen Zhen shook his head: “He should know that we would investigate and won’t say groundless things.”

In fact, Shen Zhen didn’t go to the network information company very often. It was stable and there were many old senior workers there. So he put more energy on the real estate side.

Although he didn’t place too many expectations on the network information company making a lot of profit, if someone leaked important information, it would be troublesome.

There were still several developed APPs that had not been launched yet. Clearly, the negotiations had been done, but the hard work of several project teams had been ruined.

The people in the company were very depressed now.

When Shen Zhen arrived, he happened to see an employee smoking outside the company door, complaining while smoking.

“I looked at their APP, which is exactly the same as the one we developed, only the icons are different, but the look is the same, just the style is different.”

“The functions are all the same, they obviously copied ours.”

“Months have been wasted.”

They were all colleagues in a research and development team. It took more than half a year for the new APP to go from conception to formation, and it was just on the verge of being launched soon. Only to encounter such a thing, which was equivalent to wasting more than half a year.

Their commision was gone, their bonus was gone, and they could only wait to get their wages. After working so hard, all the hard work was in vain, and there was nothing left.

Shen Zhen didn’t speak to them and walked straight into the company.

The building rented by the network information company was an old building with little space and no smoking room. Employees had to go outside if they wanted to smoke.

They were chatting outside, and Shen Zhen didn’t want to disturb them.

After all, he didn’t come here often, and not many people knew Shen Zhen in the company. They only knew that they had a young boss who basically didn’t show up often.

Everyone in the company sat listlessly in their seats, many of them were staring at the computer in a daze. There was a blackboard at the front of the office, on which were written several APP plans, and now the plans were all aborted.

Li Xiaolin took Shen Zhen to the office directly.

“CEO Shen, you go to the office first.” Li Xiaolin said, “I’ll get you some tea.”

After Shen Zhen walked in, many people stared at him.

“Is this a newcomer? So handsome.”

“I feel refreshed all of a sudden, I feel much better, and I can fight on again.”

“Don’t think about it, there is a beautiful woman following behind him, maybe it’s a couple applying for the job together.”

“…..Wait, is our company still hiring?”

“They should likely still be hiring?”

“I don’t know, who of you can go to the job recruitment website to have a look.”

“I don’t care, hot guys gives me strength!”

Shen Zhen stayed in the company’s boss’s office, but Chen Zian had been using this office the whole time before, and he never cared about it. After all, Chen Zian was the best in terms of performance reports and abilities, and Shen Zhen was also very trusting of him.

The matter had not been investigated yet, and it was unreasonable to convict people now.

Li Xiaolin came in with a teacup.

Shen Zhen said to her: “Sit down and rest for a while, where did Chen Zian go?”

Li Xiaolin: “He went out to talk business. He has been out recently on the name of talking business, but he never brought any good news back.”

It seemed that someone was indeed poaching him, but he couldn’t imagine how much the other party would spend to pach him.

“CEO Shen, can’t we sue him for divulging commercial secrets?” Li Xiaolin asked in puzzlement.

Shen Zhen shook his head: “There is no evidence.”

Li Xiaolin said strangely: “But we have the original program!”

Shen Zhen smiled and said: “Do you think the original program is evidence? The other party would not change the coding? Even if it is just a little change, as long as it does not completely overlap, it will not stand at all.”

“And is there proof that he leaked it?”

Li Xiaolin bit her lip and said, “Then just fire him.”

Shen Zhen: “I have to pay him an extra three months’ salary, and the hearts of the company’s people will become unstable. Firing a veteran worker just like that, and without a reason. What will other people think?”

Li Xiaolin’s eyes widened: “Then are we just going to wait for him to continue leaking information?”

Shen Zhen smiled: “There is always a way, don’t worry.”

Li Xiaolin looked at Shen Zhen’s smile: “CEO Shen, you have already figured out a solution, right?”

Shen Zhen shook his head: “I haven’t yet.”

Li Xiaolin was instantly discouraged: “But you act so confident.”

Shen Zhen: “A solution will always come up. Let’s wait for Chen Zian to come back and see what he will say.”

Li Xiaolin: “What else can he say? I’m sure he will say it has nothing to do with him. He can’t admit that he leaked it, right?”

Shen Zhen: “What about the company’s monitoring?”

Li Xiaolin: “I’ve checked, but there are no clues, and the boss’s office is not monitored.”

Shen Zhen asked strangely, “Why?”

Li Xiaolin lowered her head: “The boss, they always need a little privacy.”

Shen Zhen: “…..”

That’s right, otherwise when he was in the office with Qin Xing before…..

Those who watch the surveillance would get treated to a free show. They indeed need a little privacy.

“It’s better to put it on in the future.” Shen Zhen said.

Chen Zian came back half an hour later. As soon as he entered the company, he saw the employees chatting.

“What are you guys talking about?” Chen Zian said somewhat abruptly, and the employees immediately sat back in their seats and went back to their work obediently.

But there were also people who had a good relationship with Chen Zian and said, “Brother Chen, has the company recruited newcomers?”

Chen Zian asked inexplicably, “What newcomers?”

The person said: “A young man, about our age, very handsome!”

Chen Zian: “Handsome?”

He was still in the mood to joke: “Can he be as handsome as me?”

The employees laughed: “Brother Chen, you are the most handsome, giving a shout out to Brother Chen.”

Chen Zian: “Okay, do your work now. I just went out to chat with someone. I should be able to win a new project.”

The employees quickly said: “I just know Brother Chen is the best!”

“Don’t flatter me!” Chen Zian laughed, “I’m going back to the office first, come to me if there is anything.”

“Brother Chen is not easy, so many things have happened, yet he is still able to remain steady.”

“That’s right, the company being able to have today is thanks to Brother Chen.”

“That’s right. I’ve been in the company for so long, but I haven’t even met the boss. If it wasn’t for Brother Chen, our company would have collapsed a long time ago.”

“To be honest, Brother Chen might as well set up his own business. I would go wherever Brother Chen goes, I would rather hang out with Brother Chen.”

“I think so too!”

Listening to the words of the staff behind him, Chen Zian smiled.

He had done so much, and finally saw some results.

But speaking of, he was indeed a bit reluctant. After all, although he was not the boss, he was no different from the boss in this company. He sat in the boss’s office and had his own assistant.

He was no worse off than anyone else, yet he had to be inferior to a rich second generation. There was a breath he held that couldn’t be exhaled out.

One day…..

“CEO Shen!” Chen Zian looked at the person sitting in his boss’s chair, showing a surprised expression, but he quickly reacted and smiled, “Why are you here? Is there something wrong?”

Shen Zhen also smiled: “Brother Chen, sit down first, I have something to ask you.”

Chen Zian sat down on the sofa naturally, with an expression of “I don’t know anything”, and after a few seconds he said as if suddenly realizing something: “You came because of the plagiarism of the app we developed recently, right?”

“I have already written the document.” Chen Zian said, “I am fully responsible for this matter.”

His voice was not low, and someone walking outside heard him, and remained standing at the door.

Shen Zhen asked, “Plagiarized?”

Chen Zian nodded: “Yes, almost exactly the same.”

It was obviously leaked, but now calling it plagiarism.

Shen Zhen already had a plan in mind.

If this matter had nothing to do with Chen Zian, according to his professional level, he would never be able to say something like plagiarism.

Anyone who was even a little bit knowledgeable knew that the program code of the other party was the same as that designed by the original company.

Just a tiny part of the code and screen appearance were changed.

Shen Zhen smiled and said, “Then do you have a solution? We can’t suffer this loss without a word, right?”

Chen Zian said in embarrassment: “The other party has already gone online and seized the market first. We can only swallow our anger now.”

“CEO Shen, you don’t have to worry.” Chen Zian said, “I will take care of it. I will compensate for the loss of the project team during this period, and I will pay the money.”

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

As soon as the words fell, someone outside said: “It has nothing to do with CEO Chen!”

“That’s right! It’s no big deal, we can just quit!”

“We can just resign, that’s enough right?”

“Not caring about us at all normally, and then coming to make trouble when something goes wrong.”

“We are only willing to do things under Brother Chen’s command!”

Feng Anyan saw Shen Zhen walking towards him, so he hurried over and said a few words to Shen Zhen.

Basically just not to be angry over people like Su Shiqing.

But in Su Shiqing’s eyes, it was Shen Zhen seducing Feng Anyan.

He gritted his teeth tightly and swore he would never fall like this.

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

“Is that Su Shiqing?” Liu Huan walked over with a glass of wine in his hand. He had been surrounded by people before, and only now extricated himself.

Shen Zhen and Feng Anyan stood on the side. When Liu Huan approached, he only heard Shen Zhen’s voice: “I’m going back first, we can meet again when there’s a chance.”

Feng Anyan was a standard flamboyant playboy, and he was still persuading: “What are you afraid of? There are quite a few people here this time, what do you like? I’ll call them over to accompany you?”

Seeing Liu Huan approaching, Feng Anyan changed his tone. He had a very good attitude when facing Liu Huan. After all, according to seniority, he had to call Liu Huan ‘uncle’.

However, although their seniority was different, Feng Anyan and Liu Huan had a good relationship.

Before meeting Chu Haoyi, Feng Anyan and Liu Huan were basically villains colluding together, eating, drinking and having fun together.

Shen Zhen was really not interested in chatting with them, but he still had to give face, so he left after a few pleasantries.

“CEO Liu, it’s rare that you didn’t bring a companion today.” Feng Anyan joked.

Liu Huan showed no expression: “It’s boring. Recently, I have been quite abstinent, and I feel that I can cultivate into an immortal.”

Feng Anyan: “Where’s your secretary? You didn’t bring him today.”

Liu Huan spread his hands, looking helpless: “He said he wants to play video games, what can I do? I can’t control him at all.”

The two were chatting, but for some reason their topic of conversation moved to Su Shiqing again.

“CEO Liu has lost interest in Su Shiqing? Weren’t you very interested a while ago?” Feng Anyan asked with a smile.

Liu Huan glanced at Feng Anyan, and smiled, “It’s just like eating desserts, you want to eat it all when you don’t have it, but you feel sick after you do eat it up.”

Feng Anyan sighed: “CEO Liu is still the same, a scum with a capital ‘S’.”

Liu Huan had a surprised expression: “Young Master Feng can actually call others scum.”

On the other side, Su Shiqing was sitting alone in the corner with his head bowed, looking pitiful, but there was no one around him to comfort him. His mind was in chaos, he didn’t know what happened, why he fell into such a state.

“Why are you here alone?” Someone suddenly spoke beside him.

Su Shiqing raised his head, and what he saw was a slightly fat face. The man who spoke was not tall, and he was about the same height as Su Shiqing when he sat down. He was also slightly bald on the top of his head, but it was not serious. He hugged Su Shiqing around the shoulders and asked, “Are you free tonight?”

These words were too blatant, and Su Shiqing understood the other’s meaning almost instantly. Just as he was about to refuse, the other said again: “Don’t you want to make your debut? If Young Master Feng doesn’t help you, I can help you.”

Su Shiqing glanced at the middle-aged man, and his body that had already turned sideways sat back to its original position. His body was stiff, but he still nodded. He thought of the days he had lived before, when he was by Qin Yue’s side, practically getting whatever he wanted. Although Qin Yue had yelled at him before, when he was good to him it was still good.

But now…..he also knew that if couldn’t earn any money and Liu Huan took the house back, his family would really have to sleep on the streets.

Su Shiqing allowed himself to be embraced by the man, resisting the urge to push away, and obediently leaned on the man’s shoulder.

The man’s hand was stroking his back through his clothes.

So disgusting…..

Su Shiqing thought in a slight daze.

But he couldn’t push it away.

At this time, Shen Zhen was already sitting in the car going back.

Qin Xing’s call came, and Shen Zhen answered the call. Qin Xing’s deep and magnetic voice came from the other end of the line.

“Not back yet? Having fun?”

The corners of Shen Zhen’s mouth curved up unconsciously: “On the way back, I’m almost there, are you home?”

Qin Xing: “I arrived two hours ago.”

“Have you finished taking a shower?” Shen Zhen didn’t know what to ask, so he asked casually.

Qin Xing’s low chuckle came from the other end of the line: “Just finished washing up, and you can check when you come back.”

Shen Zhen’s ears were a little red.

Qin Xing said again: “Little rogue.”

Shen Zhen: “…..I…..”

Before Shen Zhen could say anything, Qin Xing said, “I’m going to hang up first, and wait for you to come back.”

Shen Zhen touched his ears, which were a little hot.

He felt that Qin Xing was becoming more and more natural with him now.

Although he was still a little unnatural.

Shen Zhen looked at the crowds outside the car window. There were a lot of people out at night, the office workers only having this time to come out for a walk. Some of them were in groups of twos and threes, and some families were also out for a walk. Couples held hands while they walked, often looking at each other and smiling.

He remembered that in his previous life, he was always walking alone on the streets, thinking about the meaning of living his life like this, and at the same time feeling that he couldn’t give up until the last moment. But even until his death, he didn’t understand what he did wrong.

On the day he died, it seemed to be very good weather, cloudless, the blue sky like a boundless sea

Then when he woke up, he found himself lying in a white space with no edge and no top. There was only a lonely wooden table without a chair, and there was a book on the table.

The cover of the book was white, and the title of the book was gold-stamped. The texture of the material itself was also very good. Shen Zhen didn’t understand why he was alive again when he was dead.

He looked at the book, which was called “Regardless of Everything”. Shen Zhen flipped through the book, and only then did he realize that his life was a joke.

In the story, he was not even a villain.

The villain could still live for dozens of chapters at least, causing trouble for Su Shiqing here and there.

But because he was an eyesore, he could only be regarded as cannon fodder, used to emphasize Qin Yue’s love for Su Shiqing.

Who told him to grow up with Qin Yue, and could be regarded as a childhood sweetheart to some extent, and add to the fact that there were vague ambiguous feelings between him and Qin Yue, so naturally he could only be unlucky.

But he didn’t stay in that strange space for long, when he saw a door suddenly appear in the original white space.

Shen Zhen still remembered that door. It was a warm yellow door, the door was not big, and it could only allow one person to pass through.

Shen Zhen opened the door and walked through. When he woke up again, he was back to the day before he left the Qin family.

He didn’t expect that the story could really be changed. He didn’t die at the hands of Qin Yue and Su Shiqing. He had his own career and his own lover as he had dreamt about a long time ago.

As for Qin Yue and Su Shiqing, he just needed to quietly wait for them to seek destruction themselves.

Their love needed the whole world to make concessions for them, towards people who have nothing to do with them, they could easily decide their fates.

As long as you displease them, their conscience would not hurt when they dealt a fatal hit.

Shen Zhen looked at his hand, his little finger was still trembling slightly.

He won’t use dirty tricks to harm people like Su Shiqing, but he won’t forget the hurt he had suffered.

The so-called throwing away everything in the past and moving towards a new life.

But when the enemy had not received retribution, how could he move towards a new life?

Only those who have not suffered, have not felt torment, and watched from a high place could say such words.

Shen Zhen took the elevator upstairs, he wiped away his expression, and opened the door.

The lights in the house were kept on.

Qin Shan helped him buy this house, and he had thought it was just a place to sleep at night.

Shen Zhen had never had any concept of the word “home” in his heart. The Qin family was not his home, nor the Shen family. He was just a temporary guest in the Qin family, and in the Shen family he was a nuisance that everyone disliked.

Only now did he have the concept of “home”.

“Home” was a place you could return to anytime.

“You’re back?” Someone came out of the bedroom, wearing a pair of loose trousers and bare-chested, showing lean muscles. His hair was still a little wet, and there were drops of water on his shoulders.

For some reason, Shen Zhen suddenly felt a little emotional. He walked over quickly and hugged the other person’s waist.

Qin Xing was a little stunned by Shen Zhen’s sudden action, but he quickly hugged Shen Zhen back and asked softly, “What’s the matter? Were you wronged outside? En? Acting like a baby when you come back?”

Shen Zhen almost laughed, and the originally depressed mood disappeared immediately: “Who is acting like a baby?”

Qin Xing kissed Shen Zhen’s face: “Who did you meet?”

Shen Zhen rested his chin on Qin Xing’s shoulder and whispered, “Su Shiqing.”

Qin Xing patted the back of Shen Zhen’s head: “Seeing him put you in a bad mood?”

Shen Zhen: “Yeah, I feel sick when I see him.”

Qin Xing said: “Then how can Xiao Zhen feel better? Shall I ask someone to beat up Su Shiqing? Or should I beat him up myself?”

Shen Zhen smiled: “Don’t be funny.”

He couldn’t imagine Qin Xing beating up someone, it was so strange.

Qin Xing: “Aren’t you angry?”

Shen Zhen said sullenly, “It’s much better now.”

Qin Xing said softly: “I have prepared something for you, come and have a look?”

Shen Zhen glanced at Qin Xing strangely, and asked curiously, “What is it?”

Qin Xing just smiled at Shen Zhen, but didn’t say anything else. He put his arm around Shen Zhen’s shoulders and pulled Shen Zhen into the bedroom.

Shen Zhen looked at the things on the bed with a blank expression on his face.

Qin Xing asked: “Do you like it?”

Looking at the two life-sized silicone dolls on the bed, Shen Zhen’s mind collapsed.

These two dolls were almost exactly the replicas of Shen Zhen and Qin Xing, and even their expressions were similar, but the hairstyle of Shen Zhen’s doll was still the one he had before.

Moreover, these two dolls were wearing suits, making them look like real people at first glance.

Shen Zhen: “…..What is this…..for?”

Qin Xing said: “I can take the doll-you with me when I am on a business trip in the future. And if I am not here, you can also still see me everyday. What do you think?”

Shen Zhen said with a complicated expression: “I don’t think so.”

Qin Xing sighed, and said softly: “I thought you would like it, and I even went abroad to find someone to custom make it.”

Because Qin Xing’s tone was too disappointed, Shen Zhen quickly comforted him: “I like it, I was just joking, I like it very much.”

Qin Xing suddenly laughed.

He led Shen Zhen to another bedroom.

Shen Zhen was still thinking when Qin Xing pressed down on him.

Was he being tricked?

After trying out various shameful positions that he was unwilling to try before, Shen Zhen was sure that he had indeed been tricked.

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

And the person who tricked him was as if he possessed endless physical strength, causing him to be unable to even stop and reason with the other.

Before Shen Zhen completely exhausted his energy and fell asleep, what he was thinking in his mind was——

Old hooligan, too tricky indeed.

Su Shiqing froze in place, he couldn’t believe that Shen Zhen would say such a thing.

Shen Zhen just looked at him coldly.

Feng Anyan said in a manner fearing that the world would not be chaotic enough: “CEO Shen, what is there to talk about with him? Thinking that if he begged others, they should do things according to his wishes. I have seen people with big faces, but I have never seen such a big face as his.”

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

He still remembered how Su Shiqing blabbered on to him, his head completely in his own world, when they first met.

Su Shiqing looked at Shen Zhen, bit his lips as if he was being bullied, and said, “I know you don’t like me because of my relationship with Qin Yue, but I have no relationship with him now, so I’ll give him back to you, isn’t that enough?! What else do you want? Since you love Qin Yue so much, shouldn’t you be happy? I’ve already retreated, and I’ve fulfilled your wish, so just what do you want me to do?”

Su Shiqing broke down a bit, and he said to Feng Anyan: “I know you are the young master of the Feng family, and I know it’s easy for you to mess with me, but what did I do wrong? Can any of you tell me what I did wrong?”

“I have never harmed anyone, nor have I done anything to make others unhappy, and I hope everyone is well.”

“Xiao Zhen, have you always thought that I stole Qin Yue?”

“If he really loves you, he wouldn’t be taken away by anyone, he just doesn’t love you.”

“Is it my fault that he doesn’t love you?”

“Why don’t you think about it, why is it that you and Qin Yue have known each other since childhood, but he still fell in love with me?”

Su Shiqing calmed down slowly, looking at Shen Zhen with even a hint of pity in his eyes.

“Because you are selfish, you are never considerate of Qin Yue, you only think about yourself.”

“So he doesn’t love you, and you feel that the whole world is persecuting you, but you haven’t thought about the reason at all.”

Shen Zhen suddenly asked: “Have you said enough?”

Su Shiqing: “No I haven’t!”

Su Shiqing said loudly as if smashing a pot to pieces just because it was cracked: “I’ve always been considerate of you. Before I was with Qin Yue, I also asked for your opinion!”

This was the first time Shen Zhen heard about it, he asked curiously, “You asked my opinion?”

Su Shiqing said: “I asked you, if there was a person who liked me, but you liked him, what would you do?”

Shen Zhen fell into deep thought. He seemed to remember that there was such a thing.

That was when Su Shiqing first arrived at the Qin family manor, and Shen Zhen still had sympathy for him, thinking that Su Shiqing was another person who was not liked by his original family.

And at that time, Su Shiqing hadn’t shown his true colors, he was obedient and sensible, and by Shen Zhen’s side, he was like a well-behaved younger brother.

At that time, Shen Zhen felt that Su Shiqing was pitiful, and he was indeed kind towards him.

Su Shiqing always looked pitiful at that time.

He never said anything when he wanted something, just stared at that thing with longing.

When Shen Zhen asked, he would say, “When I was at home, my other brothers and sisters had it, and only I didn’t.”

So Shen Zhen’s heart softened and he would give him the thing.

At the beginning, all he liked was Shen Zhen’s little bits and pieces of knick-knacks.

Like watches, or out-of-print music albums.

Later, what he stared at was what Qin Yue gave to Shen Zhen.

At that time, Qin Yue and Shen Zhen had a very good relationship. Whenever Qin Yue saw any good things outside, he would buy them for Shen Zhen.

Because it was gifted by Qin Yue, Shen Zhen didn’t speak when he saw Su Shiqing’s longing expression a few times, and turned a blind eye, but he would compensate Su Shiqing in other places.

For example, giving Su Shiqing his bank card, and there were at least millions of yuan in it, and he would generously tell Su Shiqing to buy whatever he wanted.

But Su Shiqing didn’t, he wouldn’t take that card, nor would he buy things for himself, but always stared at Shen Zhen’s things.

Shen Zhen felt that Su Shiqing lacked love, so he didn’t say anything about it.

Until Su Shiqing saw the photo album of Shen Zhen and Qin Yue. At that time, the mobile phone was not a smart phone, and the photos could only be washed out for storage. In the photo album, there were photos of Shen Zhen and Qin Yue from childhood to adulthood.

Sometimes Su Shiqing would ask about Shen Zhen and Qin Yue——

Su Shiqing would look with a pair of wide rabbit-like innocent eyes and ask, “Is Eldest Young Master Qin good-tempered?”

Shen Zhen smiled and said: “He has a good temper, and he basically won’t ever get angry, but his tongue is very acrimonious.”

Su Shiqing’s eyes widened: “Acrimonious?”

Shen Zhen just laughed and didn’t continue to say anything.

Su Shiqing asked curiously, “What kind of person does Eldest Young Master Qin like?”

Shen Zhen remembered what Qin Yue said to him before, blushed a little, coughed and said, “I don’t know either.”

Su Shiqing was thoughtful, and after a while he asked, “Ah Zhen, I want to ask you a question.”

Shen Zhen: “Just ask.”

Su Shiqing: “If, I mean, if the person you like suddenly likes your friend, would you be angry?”

Shen Zhen said at the time: “I would not be angry.”

Su Shiqing: “Why? If it’s me, I’ll be angry.”

Shen Zhen thought for a while: “I might be angry, but relationships are not one-sided. If I like him one-sidedly, then this relationship is only mine. It is not considered a relationship, and I have no position to be angry.”

What Shen Zhen didn’t expect at the time was.

Su Shiqing had already had his sights on Qin Yue before he even met Qin Yue.

At this moment, Shen Zhen looked at Su Shiqing, and suddenly asked, “Su Shiqing, do you think that other people’s belongings are better than your own?”

Su Shiqing looked at Shen Zhen, and he said almost hysterically: “You still think I stole Qin Yue, don’t you? I, Su Shiqing, am not so cheap that I always covet other people’s things! Qin Yue didn’t like you before, and he won’t like you now. You think you will feel better by pushing the problem on my head, don’t you?!”

“In love, there never exists stealing or not! Only those who feel love for each other should be together!”

Shen Zhen chuckled lightly, with mockery in his eyes: “Is that so?”

He lowered his head and whispered into Su Shiqing’s ear, “Since you know, why did you drug my drink?”

Su Shiqing fell to the ground in shock.

It shouldn’t be! It shouldn’t be possible! How did Shen Zhen know?

He never told anyone!

“Because you weren’t sure if Qin Yue loved you at the time, right?” Shen Zhen smiled, “Because you weren’t sure, you could only work your schemes on me, as long as Qin Yue knew that I slept with someone else, based on his personality, of course, it was impossible to have anything further with me.”

“You clearly got what you want, so why won’t you let me go?”

“I don’t!” Su Shiqing said, “I don’t know anything, what drug? I don’t know!”

Su Shiqing suddenly raised his head: “It was clearly you who drugged yourself, you just want me to know, you want me to give you the drug, so that you could sleep with Uncle Qin!”

“It’s your heart that’s vicious, and you’re the one who schemed against me! You schemed against everyone, including Uncle Qin!”

Feng Anyan had already gone elsewhere when Su Shiqing started talking nonsense.

Now only Shen Zhen and Su Shiqing were left here, and no one knew what they were talking about.

After all, Feng Anyan was a clever person, and was clear about what to know and what not to know.

Su Shiqing: “You don’t want people to know your true face, do you? Knowing that the successful CEO Shen had relied on sleeping with a man to climb up. Have you always felt that you are better than me? You think I rely on Qin Yue, right?”

Shen Zhen looked at him. He didn’t know whether Su Shiqing was born with a twisted heart, or whether it was cultivated after.

Shen Zhen asked him, “Do you think I’m the same as you?”

Su Shiqing looked at Shen Zhen: “You think you are different from me, but in fact you are worse than me. There is no one in your heart but yourself. No matter how good I treat you, you will never remember. You just think I snatched Qin Yue away, but you never think about how you treated me before.”

“How I treated you?” Shen Zhen almost laughed, it was the first time he saw such a person who reversed black and white, “Did I not treat you good before?”

Su Shiqing: “What is good?”

“You give me what you don’t want every time, as if giving charity. Do you think I appreciate that?”

Shen Zhen: “Charity?”

Su Shiqing looked at him, and finally there was resentment visible in his eyes: “Do you still remember that you gave me your watch? You said you haven’t worn it for a long time, and you don’t like it anymore, so you give it to me.”

Shen Zhen laughed out loud.

At that time, Su Shiqing displayed a very low self-esteem. He said this to take care of Su Shiqing’s self-esteem and give him the watch without making him feel bad.

But it turned out that in Su Shiqing’s view, his actions were an insult to Su Shiqing.

“But Qin Yue wasn’t given to me by you.” Su Shiqing said, “He chose me over you.”

Shen Zhen looked at Su Shiqing.

For the first time, he discovered that Su Shiqing was so pathetic.

Su Shiqing lived out his days lost in bizarre thoughts.

He was a sick man.

Su Shiqing said to Shen Zhen with provocation, “Do you hate me?”

Shen Zhen looked at Su Shiqing calmly.

Su Shiqing smiled and said, “I hate you too.”

After finally saying these words, Su Shiqing himself seemed to relax a lot.

He said: “You acted like you treated me very well, but you looked down on me the whole time, and never regarded me as an equal person to you.”

Shen Zhen: “Then what do you want from me?”

Su Shiqing didn’t speak.

Shen Zhen: “How can I treat you so that you don’t think it’s a charity?”

Su Shiqing: “I…..”

Shen Zhen sneered: “I must be like Qin Yue, completely entranced by you, and give you everything I can, only that way it’s not charity, right?”

Su Shiqing: “You are misinterpreting my meaning!”

Shen Zhen: “We all know whether I misinterpreted it or not.”

Shen Zhen looked at Su Shiqing condescendingly: “This is the last time I hear you spout such drivel.”

“If you stay far away from me, maybe I will let you go.”

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

“This is the last time I am warning you, Su Shiqing, if you appear in front of me again and make me feel discomfort, your end will only be worse, understand?”

“I don’t want to repeat the same thing a second time.”

Shen Zhen took one last look at Su Shiqing and walked to the other side.

Feng Anyan was talking to Shen Zhen about the project that Shen Zhen invested in him, and just when he was talking enthusiastically, he saw Su Shiqing walking towards him, and his expression changed.

After all, he was still chasing Chu Haoyi, but Chu Haoyi still had Su Shiqing in his heart.

If he quibbled with Su Shiqing, it would make him seem like the bully, after all, his status was very different from Su Shiqing’s.

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

But if he didn’t quibble with Su Shiqing, he still had anger in his heart, and he couldn’t pass that hurdle.

“What is he doing here?” Feng Anyan asked in a low voice.

In order to cooperate with him, Shen Zhen also replied in a low voice: “Maybe he wants to ask you for a role.”

Feng Anyan’s face turned dark: “In his dreams, if he became popular, I would be the one having a headache.”

If Su Shiqing became popular, wouldn’t he be seen everywhere, and it would be even more difficult for Chu Haoyi to forget him, it would basically be an impossible task.

Su Shiqing originally came over in fear, and when he saw Feng Anyan’s expression, he wanted nothing more than to retreat.

But as soon as he turned back around, his lies would be revealed, so he could only bite the bullet and walk over.

“Mr. Feng…..Xiao Zhen.” Su Shiqing stood in front of Feng Anyan and Shen Zhen, and said in a low voice, “I haven’t seen you for a long time, how are you doing recently?”

“No need to bother Mr. Su.” Feng Anyan said with a smile, “My days are quite comfortable without you.”

Su Shiqing’s eyes reddened again.

Feng Anyan’s expression was serious: “Don’t cry, I don’t fall for this trick, and I’m not Chu Haoyi or Qin Yue.”

When Su Shiqing heard the names Chu Haoyi and Qin Yue, tears came down.

Both say they love him.

But Qin Yue treated him badly and yelled at him every day. And Chu Haoyi didn’t come to him after so long, so he must have forgotten him as well.

There was originally still Liu Huan…..but…..

Su Shiqing thought about two months ago, when he moved into the house Liu Huan had prepared for him, fully thinking that Liu Huan would treat him well.

He still remembered that in the first week after moving, Liu Huan would visit him every day and give him some gifts, diamond buttons, limited edition watches, designer bags and other luxuries. And Liu Huan was very gentlemanly, never saying or doing anything that crossed the line.

This instead gave Su Shiqing a feeling that he was cherished and deeply loved.

Originally, he could still refuse with restraint, and said to Liu Huan: “Mr. Liu, I really can’t accept your kindness. Although I broke up with Ah Yue, I still think about him. I can’t start a new relationship right away. That is not responsible to me, nor to you.”

Liu Huan looked at Su Shiqing seriously with an affectionate face: “But you can’t sentence me to death, Qin Yue missed out on you, do you have the heart to miss out on me?”

Of course Su Shiqing couldn’t bear to miss out on Liu Huan.

Liu Huan was more mature than Qin Yue, knew when to advance and retreat better than Qin Yue, and was more gentle and romantic than Qin Yue.

He was also more sweet-talking than Qin Yue.

No matter how he looked at it, Liu Huan was better than Qin Yue, not only a little better, but much better.

Su Shiqing fell for the other naturally. While saying that he still thought of Qin Yue, he involuntarily became more and more intimate with Liu Huan.

He would look forward to Liu Huan’s visits every day, and he would also look forward to what surprise presents Liu Huan would bring him.

Even Su Yuan said to Su Shiqing: “I think Xiao Liu is very good. If you are with him, it will be much better than being with Qin Yue. I don’t have a good impression of Qin Yue. When we lived at Qin Yue’s place, when has he ever given me a good face? Or know to treat me as his elder?”

Ge Lan also chimed in: “I think so too, Shi Qing, what do you think?”

Su Shiqing stood in front of his parents with a blushing face, and nodded shyly.

So that night, when Liu Huan came to see him again, Su Shiqing pulled Liu Huan aside and offered to have Liu Huan stay the night.

Liu Huan asked in confusion, “In the guest room?”

Su Shiqing didn’t dare to look into Liu Huan’s eyes, and whispered, “The bed in my room can sleep two people.”

Liu Huan: “…..You mean, I’ll sleep with you tonight?”

Su Shiqing took Liu Huan’s hand: “Didn’t you keep asking me what I thought? I’ve already thought about it, and I’m ready to start a new life with you. Don’t worry, I’ve really forgotten Qin Yue, I am completely ready to be with you.”

“You don’t have to worry about Qin Yue being a problem. I will solve it. I will tell him that in this world, only feelings cannot be forced. Since I have made up my mind to separate from him, I will never change my mind.”

Liu Huan just looked at Su Shiqing seriously at that time, and asked again: “Are you sure?”

Su Shiqing nodded vigorously: “I’m sure!”

Liu Huan asked him, “It’s only been a month since you moved here.”

Su Shiqing looked at Liu Huan with embarrassment: “Sometimes it just takes a moment for the heart to be touched, you know that.”

Liu Huan: “…..Mr. Su, I didn’t expect you to switch your affections to another so quickly.”

Su Shiqing was dumbfounded at the time: “What do you mean?”

Liu Huan sighed: “I thought you could last a little longer.”

Su Shiqing: “…..”

Liu Huan: “I didn’t mean to play with your feelings on purpose, I do have good feelings towards you, but I can’t help but wonder if one day the two of us quarrel, will you also switch your affectuons to another within a month? “

Su Shiqing quickly said: “But, but you are different from others!”

Liu Huan sighed: “You used to think that Qin Yue was different from others, didn’t you?”

Su Shiqing looked at Liu Huan, as if he couldn’t understand what he was saying.

Liu Huan: “I don’t think we are suitable, I need a loyal lover.”

“How about this, you can continue to live in this house, and the rent is still as negotiated before, 600 a month is fine, but you have to figure out living expenses on your own. If you want to go back to Qin Yue, I won’t stop you either.”

It wasn’t until Liu Huan left that Su Shiqing realized what had happened.

He didn’t know what changed. Didn’t Liu Huan always like him very much, spending so much time and energy, and even so much money on pursuing him?

It was only once Liu Huan left that Su Shiqing realized that he had no money, and he couldn’t sell the things Liu Huan gave him. When he left Qin Yue, he didn’t have any luxury items on him, but now that he had them, of course he wouldn’t sell them.

It just so happened that he saw the news that the entertainment company was recruiting, so he went, and he was lucky.

It was only later that he found out that the boss of the company was Feng Anyan.

The contract had already been signed, and the penalty for breaking the contract was sky-high, so he could only stay.

At this moment, looking at Feng Anyan, Shen Zhen, and Liu Huan who were socializing not far away, Su Shiqing finally couldn’t help crying, and said while crying: “Why am I so miserable? Xiao Zhen doesn’t like me, Qin Yue treats me worse and worse, Hao Yi doesn’t come to see me, everyone bullies me, the whole world doesn’t like me, what did I do wrong?”

Su Shiqing looked at Shen Zhen, and he asked Shen Zhen: “Xiao Zhen, I returned Qin Yue to you, why are you still so cold to me? Why are you so hard-hearted and unfeeling?”

Shen Zhen had no expression on his face. After he changed his hairstyle, when he was expressionless, he gave off the feeling of contempt to others. Now when looking down at Su Shiqing from above, the feeling was even stronger, and not just contempt but even loathing.

Feng Anyan said impatiently: “Why are you crying? What a mood-killer.”

The people around were also attracted by Su Shiqing’s crying.

“What happened?”

“Who is crying?”

“I don’t know him, is he a little star?”

“Can a little star be that courageous? Crying in front of Young Master Feng and CEO Shen?”

Feng Anyan: “I told you not to cry, where’s your manager?”

When bringing the artists under them, the manager would also be present, but they were just not among the guests outside.

Feng Anyan shouted into the villa: “Where are the managers who brought the artists here?”

A group of people upstairs responded: “Young Master Feng, over here.”

Feng Anyan was furious: “Get out here now!”

Sure enough, the group of people quickly went downstairs and appeared in front of Feng Anyan.

These managers were not particularly important figures in the company. The top tier agents were in charge of famous artists, so it was naturally impossible to bring such artists to this kind of occasion.

“Who is responsible for this person?” Feng Anyan pointed to Su Shiqing who was squatting on the ground and asked.

A long-haired woman walked out of the crowd. She was wearing a short black skirt and her hair was not tied up. She looked very neat and professional. When she saw Su Shiqing crying, she knew the situation had become messy.

What kind of occasion was this, as if they needed such a mood-killer?

She quickly pulled Su Shiqing up from the ground with a lot of force. Su Shiqing’s strength was not as strong as hers, so he could only be pulled up passively by her. She also pressed Su Shiqing’s head and bowed to Feng Anyan together: “Young Master Feng, I didn’t look at him carefully, it is my fault, I will take him away immediately.”

Feng Anyan said to the people around him, “Go ahead and continue, I’ll take care of the company’s internal affairs.”

The people around also smiled, and then scattered away.

Feng Anyan asked her: “How many years has he signed?”

The agent said, “Seven years.”

Feng Anyan: “What did he sign? An idol group?”

The agent nodded quickly: “Yes.”

Feng Anyan asked: “Is there someone named Jefferson in the group?”

The manager was a little confused, and she didn’t know why Feng Anyan noticed this small idol group. Could it be that someone in the group caught his eye? But she still replied, “Yes.”

Feng Anyan: “Okay, come to my office tomorrow to find me.”

Then he said: “As for this person, don’t let him appear in front of my eyes in the future, and don’t let him appear on TV or the Internet.”

This was basically giving up on him.

Although she didn’t know what was going on, the manager still nodded, but also asked, “What about the others?”

After all, it was a group, if one was given up it was not a big loss, but if all of them were given up it was really a bit of a loss.

Feng Anyan asked: “How many people are there in the group?”

The agent thought to herself, didn’t I just say that? But still replied: “Seven.”

Feng Anyan: “With one less, there’s six, the number six symbolizes smooth-sailing, the meaning is not bad.”

Su Shiqing’s eyes widened as he listened to their words, his lips trembling.

What did this mean? Didn’t this mean that he lost his chance to debut?

Seven years, wasted just like that?

Even if he sold everything Liu Huan gave him, he still couldn’t afford the contract penalty.

Although those things were all luxury goods, their second-hand prices were not high at all, and even if they were all sold, it would not be enough to make up a million.

The contract penalty was more than just one million yuan.

Su Shiqing: “Mr. Feng! Mr. Feng! Don’t treat me like this! Give me a chance! Don’t you have a very good relationship with Xiao Zhen? I have a very good relationship with Xiao Zhen too!”

He looked at Shen Zhen as if grasping at a straw, and said pleadingly: “Xiao Zhen, please help me, please, please help me! You will also feel sympathy when you see me in such a miserable state right?”

Feng Anyan sneered and said, “Mr. Su, I think you misunderstood one thing. You don’t seem to have any qualifications to call CEO Shen ‘Xiao Zhen’ now?”

Su Shiqing was shedding tears, like a pitiful little white flower swaying in the wind.

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 Su Shiqing, he looked at Su Shiqing’s tears, and the deep pleading in his eyes, and he couldn’t help but wonder if he had the same expression when he was desperately begging Qin Yue in his previous life?

“Mr. Su.” Shen Zhen said, “Don’t beg me.”

Su Shiqing looked at Shen Zhen in a daze.

Shen Zhen smiled, maliciously and mockingly: “I find it nauseating.”
