Feng Anyan was surrounded by a lot of people, and when he saw Liu Huan and Shen Zhen, he rushed over to greet them. Although he invited many people, only these two were the most important of his guests. Liu Huan originally had a high status, and Shen Zhen was his investor.

“I was worried that you wouldn’t come.” Feng Anyan pushed everyone away.

Liu Huan smiled and said, “Young Master Feng inviting me over is to give me face, so why not come?”

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

The smile on Feng Anyan’s face was a bit awkward, he had finally met someone whose tongue was as acrimonious as his own.

Feng Anyan laughed twice: “Brother Liu is too polite.”

After finishing speaking, he turned his head to look at Shen Zhen: “I thought you wouldn’t come.”

Just as Shen Zhen was about to speak, there was a bald man next to him who probably thought that Shen Zhen didn’t look like a person in the business circle. Although he was dressed like that, judging by his good looks and flashy hairstyle, he appeared more like either a rich second generation or a young actor.

But this time Feng Anyan didn’t invite any rich second generation, so naturally he misunderstood.

The bald man smiled and said, “This is Young Master Feng’s…..”

Another person muttered in a low voice: “Isn’t it Mr. Liu’s? I just had a drink with them, could it be…..a threesome…..that’s quite wild.”

Feng Anyan was afraid that Shen Zhen would become angry, so he quickly said: “I forgot to introduce you, this is CEO Shen, Shen Zhen, you all know Huitong Real Estate and Huitong Information Network Company, right?”

The bald man reacted quickly, and said quickly: “I only knew that CEO Shen is young, but I didn’t expect CEO Shen to be so good-looking as well. I almost mistook CEO Shen for being a big celebrity.”

Shen Zhen still said politely: “It’s nothing.”

The bald man said ingratiatingly: “CEO Shen has achieved such success at such a young age, young people nowadays are quite amazing.”

Soon flattery and praises flowed from the people around them as if it didn’t cost money.

There were also people who had never heard of Shen Zhen, and asked in a low voice, “Who is this person? Do they have to go that far?”

“It’s normal that you don’t know. I also heard about it from a friend while chatting. A few years ago, the domestic economy was in a downturn, especially in real estate. Many real estate projects became abandoned, and there were still many places where no one was bidding. But last year, this person spent a large sum of money to take over the unfinished buildings and bidded on those wastelands.”

“When this year’s urban re-planning was announced, all prices on those lands increased. He sold a piece of land before, which was less than 100 million when he bought it but this year, he sold it for 1 billion.”

Many people’s faces changed: “Could he have inside information?”

“If there really was inside information would it have been left to him? None of the leading companies in the real estate industry bought the land, but he did. He has either foresight or luck.”

Now everyone looked at Shen Zhen with different expressions.

The young man in front of them was not just a simple rich second generation. He looked so outstanding, but who would have expected him to possess equally outstanding ability as well.

It was no exaggeration to call him a nouveau riche.

Feng Anyan asked Shen Zhen: “Having fun?”

Shen Zhen: “Somewhat, I met an acquaintance.”

Feng Anyan said strangely: “I didn’t invite anyone from this city except Brother Liu.”

Shen Zhen mouthed the name “Su Shiqing”.

Feng Anyan’s expression changed, pulled Shen Zhen aside, and whispered, “No way? Where did you see him?”

Shen Zhen: “Right here. He has entered the entertainment circle now. It seems to be your company? He has entered an idol group.”

Feng Anyan: “What’s the name of the group?”

Shen Zhen: “I don’t know either, I only know that there is a guy named Jefferson in the group, and the hair colors of the members are all different.”

Feng Anyan: “….That’s the same as not having said anything. Now that pretty boys are popular, they have to have colorful hair.”

Shen Zhen nodded, and he said, “Does your company want to co-produce an international movie?”

Feng Anyan smiled, quite proudly: “Yeah, it took me nearly a year to wrest the project over, and all the investment has already been in place. The main actors have all been decided, and I’m just waiting to make money.”

Shen Zhen: “Can I still introduce an extra into the cast?”

Feng Anyan: “Sure, it doesn’t matter if you insert one in, just a passer-by who has a line or two is fine.”

Shen Zhen nodded: “The one who is in the same group as Su Shiqing named Jefferson, with blond hair, don’t get it wrong.”

Feng Anyan’s expression was a little strange: “Are you okay? Su Shiqing is so annoying, yet you still want to help his group member?”

Shen Zhen shook his head: “He wants this opportunity himself, so I will give it to his group member. He likes to give favors, so I will help him out this time.”

Feng Anyan understood: “Just say that you are trying to annoy him.”

Shen Zhen: “It’s not to annoy him, it’s just that Jefferson looks a bit familiar.”

Not just familiar.

In his previous life, Jefferson was his coworker.

The two worked together on a construction site, but Jefferson wasn’t blond at that time, so he nearly didn’t recognize the other just now.

As for why Jefferson fell to such misfortunes, it had something to do with Su Shiqing.

In the previous life, Jefferson and Su Shiqing also knew each other from an idol group, and the group didn’t do very well, so they were taken to a party by their manager, in the hopes of attracting a financial backer. However, Jefferson was a straight man and it was out of no other choice that he chatted with Chu Haoyi briefly. And it was exactly because of this that he offended Su Shiqing.

When Su Shiqing felt aggrieved and threw a temper tantrum, once Chu Haoyi asked and found the reason, his heart ached.

Resulting in bad luck for Jefferson.

He could no longer be his little idol. Even though he was born in a well-to-do family, his father suddenly owed a huge amount of gambling debts, and his scandals also flooded the entire Internet practically overnight. Although he was originally not considered all that popular, he still managed to get by in the entertainment circle, but after this incident, he became extremely unlucky and couldn’t even find a job. He could only suffer misery together with Shen Zhen and work at a construction site.

At the construction site, he was the only one Shen Zhen could exchange a few words with.

At that time, his name was no longer Jefferson, going back to using his real name, Zhou Yu.

Now that everything had restarted over again, it was nothing to him to do the other a favor.

Feng Anyan said, “Which type do you like?”

Shen Zhen glanced at him: “You think I’m you?”

Feng Anyan rubbed his chin and smirked lasciviously: “Everyone has a love for beauty, I can understand you.”

Shen Zhen felt exasperation at Feng Anyan’s brain circuit, “You can think whatever you want.”

Feng Anyan: “It’s no problem to arrange a role. I’ll go back to the company and ask. The stage names of our company’s artists are all different. There shouldn’t be two Jeffersons.”

Shen Zhen: “Then I will trouble you.”

Where they couldn’t see, Su Shiqing was hiding behind a pillar watching Shen Zhen chatting with Feng Anyan.

Once upon a time, he was able to attend the banquets and parties that both Feng Anyan and Shen Zhen could be invited to, not as a small artist accompanying the guests, but as an equal to them. At that time, he was still Young Master Su, and no matter what the people who called him like that truly thought of him, but at least they still gave him face.

But now? He could only watch from a distance, not even qualified to say a word.

“What are you looking at?” A member of the group who was still angry said sarcastically, “You think you know him, but maybe he doesn’t even know you.”

“I heard from them just now that his name is Shen Zhen, and he is the boss of Huitong.”

“I just checked on the Internet, and his net worth is really impressive, at least tens of billions?”

Su Shiqing finally couldn’t bear it anymore and said: “I used to be friends with him, very good friends!”

“Then why is he a boss and a nouveau riche, while you’re still passing the days by with us? Without even any sign of debuting?”

“Yeah, after getting an opportunity, he even gave it to Jefferson.”

“Saying you gave the opportunity to Jefferson, don’t be ridiculous, are you so selfless?”

“I wanted to say it just now. If you had this idea, would Young Master Shen be silent for that long before speaking?”

Su Shiqing looked at them, his eyes red, and tears kept falling.

The group members who had originally disliked him rolled their eyes and said speechlessly: “Don’t cry, you always cry when you encounter problems, are we wrong? If we are wrong, you can just refute us.”

Su Shiqing bit his lower lip. He had lied wrongly once, and it didn’t matter if he lied a second time.

“I, I just got the opportunity for Jefferson. I, I hope that he will have a chance to succeed. In the group, Jefferson has always been the one to work the hardest. Do you dare to say that Jefferson is not working hard enough? His looks and condition are good, I just thought the chances of recommending him will be higher.”

“I have a very good relationship with Shen Zhen. Tell me what you want, and I will go to him when the time comes. He promised me this time, and he will do the same in the future.”

“Really?” The group members looked at Su Shiqing in disbelief, “You aren’t lying to us, are you?”

Su Shiqing carefully looked at the faces of the group members: “I never lie.”

The faces of the group members changed: “You should have said it earlier, we thought you only thought about yourself and Jefferson, sorry, we were a little emotional just now.”

However, some people said suspiciously: “Since you have such a good relationship with CEO Shen, then just go over and talk to him, and you can also get to know more people.”

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

“CEO Shen and CEO Feng have a very good relationship. If you go over now, you can even talk to CEO Feng.”

“That’s right, it’s even better to have a good relationship with CEO Feng, so go over quickly.”

“Go!”

Su Shiqing had no choice but to walk over if he didn’t want his lie to be revealed.

Shen Zhen felt that he smelled of alcohol and tobacco all over his body. As soon as he came out of the restroom, he turned his head and saw the person standing on the side.

He almost didn’t recognize the other, and hesitated for a long time before asking: “Su Shiqing?”

The person looked up, and it was indeed Su Shiqing, but he was quite different from what Shen Zhen remembered.

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

Su Shiqing in his memory would wear sunny and clean style clothes, always bare faced with very good skin, but now, Su Shiqing was wearing a pair of black leather pants and his legs look like a pair of chopsticks. On top he wore a solid-color tank top, and the two small red dots on his chest would be exposed with the slightest movement.

There was also makeup on his face, and the eyeliner gave him a particularly seductive look.

Lipstick was also painted on his lips.

How did this look anything like Su Shiqing?

Shen Zhen didn’t expect that he would see Su Shiqing again, and it was in such an environment.

With some annoyance, he took out a cigarette——the one Liu Huan gave him just now, and asked Su Shiqing, “You have a light?”

Su Shiqing quickly said, “Yes, yes.”

After speaking, he took out a lighter from his trouser pocket.

The lighter was quite exquisite, but Su Shiqing didn’t smoke, so it was self-evident who he prepared it for.

Shen Zhen hadn’t smoked for a long time, and after taking a smoke, he felt dizzy for a while, feeling very nauseous, and it took a few seconds for him to recover slowly.

“What are you doing here?” Shen Zhen asked.

Su Shiqing said softly, “I…..my agent asked me to come.”

Shen Zhen: “Agent? Have you entered the entertainment circle?”

Su Shiqing nodded: “I want to support myself.”

Shen Zhen looked at Su Shiqing as if Su Shiqing had gone crazy: “You came to this kind of occasion on your own?”

This occasion was clearly a place for pimping.

No matter male or female, they were all here to find a bankroller.

Su Shiqing’s eyes were red: “I can’t help it, I broke up with Ah Yue.”

Su Shiqing: “…..”

Their love was so passionate and vigorous, practically wanting the whole world to make way for their relationship, but now they break up just like that?

“Xiao Zhen, I’ll return Ah Yue to you, please don’t be angry with me?” Su Shiqing looked into Shen Zhen’s eyes and said pitifully, “I’ve thought a lot and reflected a lot recently. I’m really too selfish, I didn’t consider your feelings, now I realize my mistake, Xiao Zhen…..”

Shen Zhen: “What do you want to say, just say it directly, there is no need to make such a long foreshadowing.”

Su Shiqing said in a low voice: “I have been in the company for two months, and I have only taken two print photos for magazines. I heard that Mr. Feng’s company is planning to shoot an international film with cross-border cooperation. I was thinking…..”

Shen Zhen sneered.

Su Shiqing, sure enough, was a profiteer.

If he had no use for you, he would never waste time with you.

“Then I can’t help you.” Shen Zhen said to him, “I think it’s better for you to talk to Feng Anyan yourself.”

Su Shiqing entwined his fingers together: “I…..I dare not…..”

He always felt that Feng Anyan hated him, although he didn’t know why.

But the way Feng Anyan looked at him made him very uncomfortable and upset.

As if he had been stripped naked.

Shen Zhen had nothing else to chat with Su Shiqing: “I’m leaving first.”

Su Shiqing grabbed Shen Zhen’s arm, “Xiao Zhen, first say you forgive me, okay?”

Shen Zhen didn’t expect Su Shiqing to dare to attack, and he froze on the spot for a while. Just as he was about to kick him away, suddenly a person rushed over.

It was a young boy, about twenty or even younger, but he was very tall, with short blond hair, and excellent looks, clearly from the entertainment industry.

“What are you doing?!” Fortunately, there was no one else in the restroom.

Su Shiqing was also stunned, obviously not expecting this person to come.

“What are you doing here? “Su Shiqing.

The blond boy came over angrily, rolled up his sleeves and said, “Is he the ex-boyfriend you mentioned?”

Su Shiqing quickly said, “No, it’s not him!”

Blonde boy: “Don’t protect him, let go, don’t hug him!”

Su Shiqing could only let go, he was really afraid that his new friend would really fight with Shen Zhen, when now he had something to ask of Shen Zhen.

The blond boy glared at Shen Zhen like an enraged lion: “You and Shi Qing are over, now that you two are over, don’t pester him again!”

Shen Zhen: “Me? Pester him?”

The blond boy nodded.

Shen Zhen sneered, and looked at the boy with his chin slightly raised.

His posture was condescending, and the look in his eyes was contemptuous, as if he was just an insignificant small pebble blocking the way.

But the blond boy was dumbfounded.

He had seen cold and aloof people, and people who pretend to be cold and aloof. Many people in the entertainment industry liked to use the cold and aloof image, but this was the first time he had seen such a person.

He swallowed involuntarily, his Adam’s apple rolling up and down.

“I…..” The blond boy stuttered, but he still said with difficulty, “I know about you and him, if it weren’t for you, he wouldn’t have entered the entertainment circle.”

Su Shiqing hurriedly said, “Stop it, don’t say anymore!”

Shen Zhen: “Me? What did I do?”

The blond boy said loudly: “It is because you have not been able to become popular in the entertainment industry that he wants to enter the entertainment industry to help you. He is willing to do anything for you, but you don’t cherish it at all and want to break up with him. You are such a scumbag! A true scumbag!”

Shen Zhen had a question mark on his face.

What the hell?

When did Su Shiqing have an ex-boyfriend who was in the entertainment industry?

But when he saw Su Shiqing’s expression, Shen Zhen understood.

It seemed that this “boyfriend” was made up, in order to arouse the sympathy of others and to gain benefits for himself.

One of Su Shiqing’s best traits in the past was that he never lied and always said what came to his mind.

Unexpectedly, this trait also disappeared.

Shen Zhen: “I’m not an artist, I don’t mix in the entertainment industry.”

The blond boy obviously didn’t believe it: “Then why are you here? If no one invited you, you couldn’t have come in, so don’t pretend to be noble. Could it be that you were invited by Young Master Feng?”

Shen Zhen nodded: “Feng Anyan invited me.”

“Hahahahaha.” The blond boy couldn’t help laughing while hugging his stomach, “You might as well say that you are the boss of a company, don’t joke.”

“Look at them.” The blond boy looked at the middle-aged men who were having a carnival with a group of young models and stars, “That’s what bosses should look like.”

A bald head and a beer belly was a standard for successful people.

Shen Zhen inexplicably wanted to laugh.

Probably because this blonde head was so conspicuous, several young boys with colorful hair came over.

Shen Zhen counted, there were seven of them, exactly forming seven Calabash Babies.

“Are you a group?” Shen Zhen asked casually.

Su Shiqing answered quickly: “Yes, we are a group, and we haven’t officially debuted yet.”

Shen Zhen glanced at him. It seemed that what he asked for just now was just an opportunity for himself.

Those newcomers practically surrounded Shen Zhen. They all had a good relationship with Su Shiqing and treated Su Shiqing as the youngest brother. Now seeing the blonde boy confronting Shen Zhen, they naturally felt that it was Shen Zhen who bullied Su Shiqing.

But listening to Su Shiqing’s tone and demeanor when responding, it didn’t seem to be what they thought.

“I can help.” Shen Zhen said suddenly.

Su Shiqing didn’t expect Shen Zhen to say yes, and let out a dazed “ah”.

Shen Zhen smiled and said, “But I don’t think you are suitable.”

Before Su Shiqing had time to speak, Shen Zhen said again: “It’s easy to stuff one into the cast, and I think Blondie is pretty good.”

Everyone: “Blondie?”

Blonde boy: “…..My name is Jefferson.”

Shen Zhen nodded: “Feng Anyan’s multinational co-production movie, I can recommend you for some screen time, how about it?”

“Ah?!” Everyone was surprised.

Su Shiqing bit his lower lip.

Shen Zhen smiled and said: “If you want to say thanks, just thank Su Shiqing, he won the opportunity for you.”

“I still have something to do, please move to the side.”

The group of people stepped aside, still dumbfounded.

It just so happened that Liu Huan also came over: “CEO Shen, are you chatting with handsome guys here?”

Shen Zhen didn’t know why, but he was in a good mood, and he was even in the mood to joke with Liu Huan: “Yes, we are all young after all.”

Liu Huan exaggeratedly touched his face: “Do I look very old?”

A boy who was in the same group as Su Shiqing said, “CEO Liu looks very young and handsome.”

Liu Huan didn’t even give him a look, and only said to Shen Zhen: “Feng Anyan is here, looking for you in the front, and said that he will apologize to you in person, and punish himself with three cups.”

Shen Zhen followed Liu Huan over.

The remaining group of people continued to be confused.

Especially the blondie, Jefferson.

“CEO Liu called him CEO Shen just now…..”

“So young, is he really a big boss?”

“Shi Qing, you actually know such a person. Didn’t you say that your family conditions are very poor and you came out into society before finishing high school?”

Su Shiqing couldn’t hide it anymore, so he could only say: “He helped me before, when I was doing housekeeping, my employer made things difficult for me, and he helped me out.”

Jefferson asked suddenly: “Then why did he say that you helped me win the opportunity? You…..really told him that you want me to go…..”

Now that the matter had come to this point, Su Shiqing could only bite the bullet and respond: “You have taken care of me, so this is natural of me.”

The person next to him said strangely: “It turned out that Jefferson is the only person who took care of you. So we are not people.”

“Yeah, sure enough, in his heart, we all have to sit in the back row.”

“Hehe, it seems that you have to be picky about being nice to people, otherwise you won’t even be remembered for being nice to them.”

There were also some who persuaded them.

“Don’t say that. After all, it is begging for help. It is already very good to get one opportunity.”

“Yeah, this kind of opportunity doesn’t mean that you can get it just because you begged for it. It’s not like Shi Qing can beg an opportunity for everyone, right?”

“His face is not so big.”

“Don’t be funny, as if we don’t understand what it means to have a chance at that kind of production? Even if it is to allow us to debut earlier, it is easier than that request, right?”

“He simply doesn’t think of us as a group at all.”

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

“Stop arguing!” Jefferson yelled, “It’s still unknown, yet you are already quarreling. Maybe he just mentioned it casually. We got along so well before, but now we are starting to quarrel over a trivial matter?”

Su Shiqing lowered his eyes and gritted his teeth.

He was still thinking about the way Liu Huan stood next to Shen Zhen just now.

This feeling was extremely uncomfortable, and it made his chest feel tight and painful.

At the beginning of June, the temperature gradually increased. Almost all the people walking on the streets changed out of their spring clothes and only put on a thin jacket over their summer clothes. However, because Shen Zhen had to go to work, he still wore his usual shirt and pants but now without the suit jacket.

Probably because of the effect of working out, when Shen Zhen stood in front of the mirror, he felt that his figure was much better than before, and his six-pack abs were also back, just not very obvious.

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

On a rare day off, Shen Zhen also had a haircut specially done by a hairstylist named Tony. His hair was highlighted and dyed blonde. He was young, in his early twenties, thin and with a slender waist.

When Shen Zhen entered the door, the receptionist was originally supposed to ask the questions but Tony squeezed the receptionist away and asked Shen Zhen: “Is Mr. Handsome here to wash the hair or cut the hair or do both?”

Shen Zhen thought for a while: “Shampoo, and do styling as well.”

Tony washed his hair personally. After washing, he wiped his hair and asked, “What hairstyle does Mr. Handsome like?”

Shen Zhen thought about it, and didn’t have any special requirements, so he said, “You can choose.”

Tony touched Shen Zhen’s hair and said, “Mr. Handsome, your hair quality is very good, do you want to consider changing your hair color?”

Shen Zhen: “No need.”

If he changed his hair color, it would be inappropriate for him to attend some formal occasions.

Tony sighed regretfully, and could only work on his hairstyle: “I will definitely cut it very handsomely for you, the kind that stands out and dazzles people blind.”

Shen Zhen thought he was quite interesting. He nodded and smiled, “Then I will trouble you.”

Tony looked at the smile on the corner of Shen Zhen’s mouth and felt his heart beating a little faster.

When getting his hair cut, Shen Zhen closed his eyes and rested his mind. He didn’t have any requirements for the hairstyle, so long as it was clean and tidy.

Of course, it was better not to be too short.

“It’s finished, take a look.” Tony said.

Shen Zhen opened his eyes and looked at himself in the mirror.

Was this a haircut?!

This was like transforming into an entirely different person!

Shen Zhen used to have a very ordinary hairstyle, and he was always too lazy to take care of it himself. Every time he went to the barber shop, he found it troublesome and simply asked the other to cut it short. But this time, Tony gave him the most popular hairstyle that was the current trend.

The hair on both sides was flattened, leaving only short stubble, but the scalp was not visible while the hair on top was combed back.

If it was on a man in his thirties, this hairstyle would be considered mature and steady.

But when this hairstyle appeared on Shen Zhen, it gave him a proud and untamed aura, especially when Shen Zhen was expressionless.

In the past, his aura could be said to be cold and aloof, but now he looked even more arrogant and condescending.

Shen Zhen: “…..”

Tony was very excited: “I have cut hair for so many people, but you are the most suitable for this hairstyle, super handsome! So handsome that anyone who sees you won’t be able to close their legs!”

Shen Zhen glanced at Tony.

Tony didn’t know why, but subconsciously clamped his legs.

Shen Zhen couldn’t ask him to glue back the hair that had been cut, so he could only say, “Pay the bill.”

Tony led Shen Zhen to the front desk and handed over his business card after agreeing on the price: “If you come next time, remember to come to me again. I am No. 16.”

Shen Zhen asked: “Should I just say that I want to find Tony?”

Tony sighed, shook his head and said, “We have four Tonys and three Ivans here.”

“See you next time!”

Tony saw Shen Zhen out the door, still waving excitedly.

The receptionist at the front desk said, “Brother Guang Ming, don’t look anymore, he’s gone.”

Tony glared at him, and sat on the sofa next to him with a twist of his buttocks.

A colleague asked him: “He’s so handsome, did you ask for a phone number just now?”

Tony: “No, but I gave him my business card, I don’t know if he will add me.”

Colleague: “He will definitely add you. Brother Guang Ming, you are so handsome, as long as he is not a straight man…..No, he will still add you if he is a straight man.”

Tony snorted: “Little novice, do you think I don’t know what you’re thinking? Do you want to wait until he adds me so you can poach him away?”

Though the colleague was exposed, his face did not blush and his heart remained calm: “Brother Guang Ming, each depends on his own ability. It’s not like you haven’t seen the watch on his wrist. Just the price of that watch, I may not even earn that much money in my entire life.”

Tony: “I saw it too. He is handsome, rich, and polite. I don’t know who will be the lucky one in the end. Just thinking about it makes me envious.”

Shen Zhen, who was walking on the road, kept feeling chilly around his ears. For some reason, he also felt that many people were secretly staring at him.

Although there were not a lack of people who stared at him in the past, it seemed that more people were staring at him today, and they didn’t bother to hide it either.

Several times, Shen Zhen was stopped by female students and asked for his mobile phone number and contact information. At first, he politely refused, but then after several times he quickly accelerated his pace whenever he saw someone walking towards him.

Shen Zhen couldn’t figure it out, was there such a big difference in changing the hairstyle? It was not like his facial features had changed.

Just when he was about to go to Qin Xing’s company to surprise Qin Xing, his cell phone rang at an inopportune time.

The name Liu Huan appeared on the caller ID. Shen Zhen connected the call and asked in annoyance, “What is it?”

Liu Huan’s side was very quiet: “Tonight, there is a party, will you come?”

Just as Shen Zhen wanted to refuse, Liu Huan said again: “It’s not a serious occasion, Feng Anyan will go too, he’s the host, and when he heard that I know you, he asked me to let you know by the way, and said that if you don’t go, the you don’t treat him as friend.”

Shen Zhen: “…..”

Liu Huan laughed: “Are you thinking that you indeed don’t consider him a friend?”

Shen Zhen: “Yes.”

Liu Huan got serious: “We still need to adhere to social niceties. You also have business cooperation with him, and it’s normal to contact each other occasionally, isn’t it?”

Shen Zhen refused on the surface, but indeed he still had to go: “What time?”

Liu Huan: “It starts at five o’clock, shall I come pick you up?”

It was half past four now.

Shen Zhen refused: “No, I’ll take a taxi so just send me the address.”

Liu Huan: “Okay.”

Fortunately, he didn’t tell Qin Xing that he was going to find him, otherwise it would not be good to go back on his word, even though he knew that Qin Xing would not be angry with him.

Feng Anyan’s party was scheduled to be held in a top-notch private club, in the outskirts of the city. It took more than 40 minutes by taxi, and it was already half past five when Shen Zhen arrived, even without traffic jams to worry about.

It was called a private club, but it was actually a relatively large villa with a swimming pool and entertainment facilities, and enough alcohol.

After he was welcomed in, the first thing he saw were all kinds of beauties in bikinis. He carefully identified them and found that several of them were young actors and singers, not only women, but also men.

None were ugly or average.

As for those with pot bellies and thinning hair, no need to even think about it, they were all bosses.

What party?

This was a venue for pimping, right?

Shen Zhen turned around and wanted to leave.

As soon as he turned around, he saw Liu Huan coming over with a bottle of wine, and the two almost bumped into each other.

“I just haven’t seen you for a while, and you suddenly became so enthusiastic?” Liu Huan joked.

Shen Zhen: “I’m not very interested in this kind of gathering.”

Liu Huan smiled and said, “I’m not interested either.”

Liu Huan: “But we’re here, so let’s sit down for a while, it’s just a matter of a few minutes.”

Shen Zhen had a headache: “I’ll wait for Feng Anyan to come and say hello to him before leaving.”

“Have you changed your hairstyle?” Liu Huan seemed to have just noticed Shen Zhen’s new hairstyle.

Shen Zhen nodded.

Liu Huan: “Very handsome, very suitable for you, makes you look quite fierce.”

Shen Zhen choked speechlessly: “Do you know how to speak?”

Liu Huan said with a smile: “I’m praising you, really, you look good.”

So good it makes one feel an itch in the heart.

The original sharp and delicate features when matched with this hairstyle, now had some wildness to the flavor.

It made people involuntarily want to get close and conquer.

Shen Zhen and Liu Huan entered the villa together. He saw a bald middle-aged man put his hand on the waist of a beautiful woman in a bikini, smiling while rubbing his fingers against her skin, which made Shen Zhen turn his head away in disdain.

Probably because of all the alluring beauties, no one paid attention to the arrival of Shen Zhen and Liu Huan. There was music playing in the villa, which was so loud and lively that it could shatter people’s eardrums.

The two of them just sat down when Shen Zhen said, “Why is Feng Anyan, as the host, late to his own party.”

Liu Huan: “Probably delayed on the way.”

“CEO Liu.” A bald man with a beer belly walked in with a wine glass in his hand, and stopped in front of Liu Huan respectfully, “It’s rare to see you come out, it seems that this time I must thank Young Master Feng.”

Liu Huan also picked up a wine glass from the table, and the bald man hurriedly poured  wine for Liu Huan from the side. Liu Huan also smiled: “CEO Zhang too. I haven’t seen you for so long but you still look as vigorous as before.”

Bald man: “No, no, I have been so busy recently. Look, hasn’t my head gone bald from all the pressure?”

After speaking, he turned his head and looked at Shen Zhen: “This is?”

Before anyone could speak, the bald man said again: “It’s okay, I understand, I understand, I will first make a toast.”

Drinking foreign wine with the air of drinking Chinese white wine, the bald man threw back the glass of Rémy Martin.

Liu Huan wasn’t as straightforward as him, and just took a sip.

Shen Zhen was thinking about something, and didn’t hear what they were discussing.

He just wanted to wait for them to finish drinking, say a few words, and introduce himself.

As a result, as soon as they finished drinking, the bald man left with his empty glass.

Shen Zhen who was waiting to speak: “…..”

Was he an invisible person? His presence so non-existent?

Shen Zhen sat on the sofa and looked at his mobile phone. The people Feng Anyan invited were basically from the entertainment industry. After all, he was in charge of an entertainment company. Most of these people were not from this city, they were just invited to attend the party, and few of them knew Shen Zhen, so on the contrary it saved Shen Zhen from being too busy with socializing.

Liu Huan poured Shen Zhen a glass of wine: “Don’t you want a drink?”

Shen Zhen sat up straight, picked up the glass and said, “My tolerance isn’t very strong.”

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

As he spoke, he just took a sip.

After waiting for nearly an hour, Feng Anyan still didn’t come. Shen Zhen couldn’t wait any longer. He said to Liu Huan, “I’m going to the restroom. If Feng Anyan still doesn’t come then I’ll be leaving.”

Liu Huan didn’t force him to stay: “Okay, I’ll tell him when he comes.”

Shen Zhen went to the company on his motorbike. Someone had a car accident on the road. He didn’t know if it was real or a scam. He waited for half an hour before passing through. It was already ten o’clock in the morning when he arrived at the company, and he was an hour late.

Since he was the CEO, it didn’t matter if he was late.

As soon as he arrived at the office, Li Xiaolin came over in a hurry and said to Shen Zhen, “CEO Shen, Wanju has contacted and said they want to make an appointment to talk to you.”

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

Shen Zhen: “About?”

Li Xiaolin said softly: “It seems that all their projects have been stranded recently, someone must have done something behind the scenes. They probably think that you were the one behind it.”

Shen Zhen knew who it was without even thinking about it.

Liu Huan acted too quickly, and didn’t give Qin Yue a chance to react.

Sure enough, an old fox was an old fox. Compared with him, Qin Yue was much too tender.

Shen Zhen: “Just say I don’t have time.”

Li Xiaolin: “Okay.”

When he got off work, Shen Zhen saw a familiar figure downstairs.

He didn’t expect that Qin Yue would come to the company downstairs to block him after he rejected the meeting with him.

If he had gone directly to the basement to pick up his car, wouldn’t it be a waste of his time?

Shen Zhen wanted to turn around and take the elevator to the basement but he stopped, he felt that he had done nothing wrong or shameful, so why should he hide from Qin Yue?

So Shen Zhen walked directly towards the front doors.

“Shen Zhen.” Qin Yue had been staring at the door, and the moment he saw Shen Zhen, he strode over.

Just by looking at his appearance, Shen Zhen could tell that Qin Yue’s current condition was not good. He looked thinner, not only thinner, but his spirits were also not as good as before, his eyes ringed in dark circles as if he hadn’t slept well for many days. His eyes were even bloodshot, and though his clothes were still properly dressed and neat, the feeling was not the same as before.

Shen Zhen had no expression. Once he had no expression on his face, he would give people an extraordinarily indifferent and arrogant feeling: “Is there something you need?”

Qin Yue: “The recent events were caused by you, right?”

Shen Zhen didn’t speak, he didn’t need to explain himself.

Qin Yue laughed twice: “Are you so cruel?”

Shen Zhen looked into Qin Yue’s eyes: “I don’t want to argue with you like a primary school student about who is more excessive. In the business world, if you lose, then you are inferior to others.”

Qin Yue: “What exactly do you want to do? You must make me lose everything to feel happy, right?”

Shen Zhen turned his head: “If you think that, then so be it.”

Qin Yue grabbed Shen Zhen’s wrist, and said with a vicious expression: “Have you ever thought about what you can get out of it if I really lost everything?”

“Qin Yue.” Shen Zhen withdrew his hand forcefully, practically using his all to stop himself from punching Qin Yue, “Did you think about it when you poached my people? Did you think about it when you were about to put out those media articles? What? You don’t consider for me, but you want me to consider for you?”

Qin Yue looked at Shen Zhen: “Are you taking revenge on me for this? Do you have any losses?”

Shen Zhen looked at Qin Yue and felt that this person had already been completely assimilated by Su Shiqing.

They could be sorry to others, but others could not be sorry to them.

It was a match made in heaven. They should get married early and bind each other so as to not implicate any innocents.

“When will you and Su Shiqing get married?” Shen Zhen changed the subject unexpectedly.

Qin Yue almost couldn’t react. Looking at Shen Zhen: “You know everything, are you mentioning him on purpose?”

Shen Zhen really didn’t know: “Huh?”

Qin Yue sneered: “Shen Zhen, don’t play dumb, you know everything, you just keep pretending you don’t.”

Shen Zhen: “Mr. Qin, let’s not waste each other’s time. Move over a little so that you don’t block the way.”

Qin Yue: “Do you really think that Uncle will always help you?”

Shen Zhen stopped and looked at Qin Yue.

Qin Yue’s tone was full of sarcasm: “What do you think is the difference between you and me? Didn’t Uncle treat me the same way he treats you now? No, you are worse off than me. After all, he took me with him everywhere he went, but don’t take you with him.”

“How much did he teach you? Not much, right? After all, he is busy.”

“In his eyes, you are the same as me. Do you feel that you are very important and that Uncle values you?”

“To him, there is no difference between the two of us, just a plaything for him to pass the time.”

“He can give up on me, and he can also give up on you.”

“We are no different.” Qin Yue said, “But you should feel that you are quite special now, right?”

Shen Zhen didn’t speak.

Qin Yue probably felt that he had stepped on Shen Zhen’s sore spot, and continued to ask: “Do you think you are special?”

“Because Uncle is there, everyone will greet you with a smile. Whatever you want, Uncle will nod his head. If you ask for money, Uncle will give it to you.”

“It is easy for him to give it, and it is also easy for him to take it back.”

Qin Yue said maliciously: “I just don’t know what will be the difference between you and me when that day comes.”

Shen Zhen finally spoke: “Qin Yue, are you really stupid or just pretending to be stupid?”

Qin Yue looked at Shen Zhen and said nothing.

Shen Zhen sneered: “Is it Uncle Qin’s fault that you are here today? Was it you or not who made the wrong decisions when you went to T City? Was it you or not who made problematic suggestions when you went abroad? When Uncle Qin gave up on you it can be considered quite late.”

Shen Zhen: “You don’t happen to come to hate Uncle Qin, do you?”

Qin Yue didn’t look at Shen Zhen.

Shen Zhen understood, he couldn’t believe it: “Qin Yue, are you crazy?”

Qin Yue pursed his lips tightly, and finally opened his mouth: “I don’t care if you tell Uncle what happened today, but Shen Zhen, remember this, we will no longer be friends in the future, and I won’t keep in mind anything about the past again.”

Shen Zhen asked back, “Didn’t you forget it long ago?”

Qin Yue came over full of anger, and was still angry when he left.

Looking at Qin Yue’s back, Shen Zhen felt that Qin Yue might really have some mental problems, or rather anger issues.

It was like any little question could make him angry.

It was just that he could still control himself now, but maybe after a while, the situation would get worse if he didn’t realize it himself.

But about what Qin Yue said, that he knew about Su Shiqing…..Now what the hell was that?

——

“How about this one?” Liu Huan asked his secretary.

The secretary looked at the price: “Not bad, it’s up to tens of millions. How can anything go wrong with a car worth tens of millions? Are you really going to give it away?”

Liu Huan smiled and said, “I don’t know what he likes, so I’m just choosing randomly.”

Secretary: “I’ve never seen you so generous before.”

Liu Huan knocked on his forehead: “What do you know, this one is more difficult, ordinary gifts can’t impress him.”

The secretary understood: “Shen Zhen?”

Liu Huan looked at him with a “the child can be taught” expression.

The secretary looked confused: “What about that Su Shiqing? He just called me yesterday and told me to transfer money to him as you said. You won’t not reimburse me, right?”

Liu Huan: “Of course I will.”

After all, Su Shiqing hadn’t completely been caught yet, so it was a bit of a pity to give up now.

Su Shiqing felt that life was very good these days. Without Qin Yue, he didn’t have to worry about when Qin Yue would fly into a rage every day. Liu Huan also hired two nannies for them. One was in charge of cleaning and serving tea and water, and the other was in charge of cooking and housekeeping. The location of the place was also better than the one Qin Yue bought.

Moreover, it was an apartment with elevator access to the home, a two floor duplex with a lot of space.

In this city where every inch of land was expensive, it could be regarded as a luxury villa.

Moreover, Liu Huan was very considerate. Every time he came over, he would call in advance, and he never came empty-handed every time.

Sometimes it was a bouquet of flowers, sometimes it was tickets to a concert, and sometimes tickets to a stage play.

Su Shiqing felt that being with Liu Huan was the most relaxing time for him.

Liu Huan also conquered Su Shiqing’s parents.

Even Su Yuan said to his son: “Even if you want to be with a man, you have to choose someone like Liu Huan! How can Qin Yue compare with Liu Huan? Liu Huan is the head of the Liu family, and he is more capable than Qin Yue. He’s also richer than Qin Yue, and he’s also very polite, so you know who to choose if you’re not out of your mind.”

Although Gu Lan didn’t say it clearly, she also said indirectly: “Now young ones are all about free love, and it’s normal to separate and reunite. If two people are together, if they don’t get along happily, it’s best to separate.”

They all encouraged Su Shiqing to break up with Qin Yue and accept Liu Huan’s pursuit.

Su Shiqing’s heart was also unknowingly shaken.

Liu Huan was really kind to him, gentlemanly and tactful, and he would never do anything that would embarrass him. He had helped him so much, but he never asked for anything in return.

Unlike Qin Yue…..

When he lived in Qin Yue’s place, Qin Yue asked him to learn how to cook. He never cared about whether his hands would become rough because of it, nor worried about whether the oil and steam would make him uncomfortable. Sometimes when Qin Yue was in a bad mood he would also yell at him.

The more Su Shiqing thought about it, the more he felt that he might no longer be suitable to be with Qin Yue.

Between the two of them now, there was no longer any happiness, without any of the previous impulse and passion, nor the lingering affection that drove them to want to see each other all the time.

Su Shiqing couldn’t help thinking sadly that his relationship with Qin Yue might have already broken down, but he just didn’t realize it.

After thinking for a long time, Su Shiqing didn’t dare to call Qin Yue about breaking up.

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

He just dared to send him a text.

[Shi Qing: Ah Yue, I have thought about it seriously. I think we are not happy when we are together. Maybe we are not suitable for each other. I don’t want to waste your time. If you want to blame, then blame me. Blame me for mistaking passion for love. I hope we can still be friends after we break up. If you need my help, no matter what time, I will always stand by your side.]

It would take two months to treat Shen Yun’s leg, plus the recuperation period.

Of course, the money was paid by Shen Li. Shen Zhen deducted it from his salary, and now Shen Li was in negative equity.

“Are you coming back tonight?” After washing his hair, Shen Zhen wiped his hair with a towel, and stood on the balcony to call Qin Xing.

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

Qin Xing said on the other line: “I will be slightly late, so don’t wait for me, go to bed early.”

Shen Zhen: “Okay.”

Though that was what he said, Shen Zhen still left the light on in the living room, took a book, and read for a while in the bedroom with the bedside lamp on.

Shen Zhen also lit the incense to help sleep. Don’t know where Qin Xing bought it but the sleep aid effect was first-rate. Shen Zhen had a bit of insomnia before. Now after lighting the incense and reading a book, it took less than half an hour for him to feel sleepy.

When he felt sleepy, Shen Zhen put the book on the bedside and tucked himself into the comforter to sleep.

In the middle of the night, Shen Zhen heard the slight sound of footsteps outside the door. He turned over and knew that it should be Qin Xing. Then he heard the sound of water, and knew that Qin Xing must be taking a shower.

Shen Zhen remained half asleep until someone hugged him together with the comforter.

Shen Zhen didn’t open his eyes, at the tip of his nose was the refreshing scent of shower gel, and he said softly, “Go to sleep, you’ve been busy until so late.”

Qin Xing didn’t speak, just slipped under the comforter as well.

As soon as Shen Zhen turned over, he hugged Qin Xing’s waist, with a leg even thrown over Qin Xing’s.

Qin Xing sighed leisurely in the dark.

When the sky became bright, Shen Zhen got up from the bed, opened the curtains, and let the sunlight penetrate into the room. He stretched and felt that the muscles and bones of his whole body were relaxed.

“Not sleeping anymore?” Qin Xing asked from the bed behind him.

Shen Zhen put on his clothes with his back to Qin Xing. Qin Xing got off the bed, stepped on the carpet with bare feet, and hugged Shen Zhen from behind.

Shen Zhen still maintained the posture of putting on his clothes: “I’m putting on clothes.”

Qin Xing: “I’ll help you.”

Shen Zhen’s ears were a little red, and they twitched again, causing Qin Xing to pinch an earlobe.

“It’s a little itchy.” Shen Zhen raised his hand to pull the other’s playful one away, but Qin Xing grabbed Shen Zhen’s wrist, and stroked his hand upwards along the wrist.

Shen Zhen finally understood what Qin Xing meant.

Shen Zhen suddenly asked, “Did you turn off the water in the bathroom?”

Qin Xing: “I did.”

Shen Zhen wanted to ask, then why can I still hear the sound of water, was it a hallucination?

But soon, he couldn’t think about anything, he just felt that he had turned into a piece of iron that needed to be forged, every inch surrounded by flames, and not a spot was left untouched.

When the hammer just started to come down slowly, the movement was very slow and soft, like the feeling of a feather falling on the body.

But slowly, the blacksmith seemed to lose his patience, and the hammer fell faster and faster, almost without stopping.

He wanted to call out, to tell the other to slow down, but he couldn’t speak, and could only turn into a puddle of water.

“Slow down,” he begged.

Sure enough, the speed of the hammer slowed down, and its movements became more gentle.

The blacksmith was still asking, “Still want it?”

He gritted his teeth and responded: “Yes!”

When he woke up again, it was already dark, and almost every corner of the house was tainted by them.

When Shen Zhen opened his eyes, Qin Xing’s face was still in his mind.

He still remembered Qin Xing’s expression when he was most excited, like an angry lion, completely lacking in his usual calmness and composure, his back muscles rippling, and his expression appearing ferocious.

Shen Zhen thought about it for a while, and felt a pain in the unspeakable place, so he stopped recalling immediately.

Qin Xing was not in the bedroom at the moment, so Shen Zhen touched himself, and found that what should be cleaned had been cleaned up. He put a bathrobe on and did not wear underwear, for fear of putting pressure on that sore spot. He walked in small steps, inching across the room step by step.

“You’re up?” Qin Xing’s voice came from the kitchen.

Shen Zhen was standing in the living room, he could only stand, he didn’t dare to sit——his butt hurt.

“I’m cooking porridge for you.” Qin Xing said, “Sit down for a while.”

Shen Zhen sat down on the sofa with difficulty, resisting the discomfort, and finally got used to it after a while. What Qin Xing cooked was mung bean porridge, and it was very thick. It was served with the pickled cabbage that Mama Zhang made before, and Shen Zhen quite liked it.

Just when Shen Zhen said he would clean up after eating, Qin Xing said: “You go to rest first.”

Shen Zhen sat on the sofa, and Qin Xing asked, “Want to drink water?”

“How about some fruit?”

Shen Zhen found that he seemed to have suddenly shrunk more than twenty years in age, becoming a baby, and was taken care of by Qin Xing meticulously. If he was not too big, maybe Qin Xing would even carry him to the toilet and help him go to the potty, causing him to not know whether to laugh or cry.

“It’s not too uncomfortable.” Shen Zhen said, “Your technique is pretty good. I didn’t feel much pain. When I first got up, I was just a little uncomfortable. It’s much better now, and you don’t have to be so careful…..”

Qin Xing asked solemnly: “Am I being very careful?”

Shen Zhen: “En, you are just short of helping me go to the potty.”

Qin Xing chuckled: “If you don’t refuse, that’s fine with me too.”

Shen Zhen waved his hand quickly: “No need, I’m not disabled.”

Qin Xing lowered his head and thought deeply, did this mean that there was no problem with what he did?

“This.” Qin Xing took out a small tube of ointment from the cabinet, “Use it before going to bed.”

Shen Zhen: “…..” It seemed that Qin Xing had planned everything for this day, and everything that should be prepared had been prepared.

Shen Zhen looked at the small tube of ointment and thought it was a hot potato. He felt embarrassed when he saw it, but he knew it was for his own good, so he could only reach out and take it.

“There are instructions on it.” Qin Xing said, “There are also disposable gloves and…..”

Shen Zhen quickly interrupted him: “I know, I will read it, thank you, don’t say any more!”

Qin Xing suppressed his smile: “Can you still go to the company tomorrow?”

Shen Zhen rubbed his waist: “It should be fine if the swelling subsides. If the swelling doesn’t subside, I’ll stay at home for another day.”

Qin Xing coughed lightly. Shen Zhen looked over and found that there was movement again.

Shen Zhen was shocked and almost blurted out——”Are you a donkey?!”

But he held back.

After the two of them had dinner, an entire day was wasted away. Shen Zhen looked at his watch and saw that it was already ten o’clock in the evening. He sat on the bed, leaning against the pillow, and talked about the recent events.

“Qin Yue never asked you for help?” Shen Zhen asked.

Qin Xing embraced Shen Zhen with one hand, and turned on the desk lamp with the other: “He won’t look for me at this time.”

Shen Zhen: “Why? His situation is already so miserable.”

Qin Xing said with a smile: “A person like Ah Yue, no matter how he handles matters, the things in his bones will not change. Even if he asks me for help, it will be on the basis of mutual benefit and reciprocity. Now he needs my help unilaterally. If I give him a hand, then to him it’s almost like giving alms.”

Shen Zhen said strangely: “I didn’t realize that he cared so much about face before.”

Qin Xing shook his head: “It’s always been there, you just don’t know him well enough.”

Shen Zhen felt a little strange when he heard this, but he didn’t think deeply about it, and just said, “That’s possible.”

Shen Zhen slept on his side, not daring to lie on his back, as it would be uncomfortable to lie flat. He closed his eyes, thinking while brewing drowsiness, although it was more pleasurable later on, this kind of thing seemed to take up too much time, having to rest two days after each time.

But if it was once a week on Friday night, and then just rest on Saturday and Sunday. This rhythm would be perfect.

Qin Xing lay flat, letting Shen Zhen’s leg rest on his lower abdomen.

Recently, Shen Zhen had become more and more dishonest when sleeping. He often rolled to the other side while sleeping, and liked to flail away the comforter.

Qin Xing would get up every night to straighten him and cover him with the comforter.

At the beginning, Shen Zhen didn’t have these problems when sleeping, it seemed that it was only during this period of time.

Qin Xing reached out and patted Shen Zhen on the back.

He felt that he had prepared quite well.

There was a relaxing environment.

Everything needed was there.

The foreplay also took a lot of time and the prep work was also done very carefully.

Qin Xing kissed Shen Zhen’s forehead before closing his eyes.

He was older than Shen Zhen, and he also hoped that he could always be relied on in Shen Zhen’s eyes. He would age earlier than Shen Zhen but before that, he hoped that Shen Zhen would live happily.

Even if one day they separated and Shen Zhen found someone more suited to him and left him, he also hoped that when Shen Zhen recalled this relationship, there would be a smile on his lips.

But he would never leave, even if Shen Zhen left first, he would still wait in place.

So long as Shen Zhen looked back, he would always be there.

Shen Zhen slept well. When he got up in the morning, the discomfort was completely gone. He looked up and saw that Qin Xing was still sleeping. Shen Zhen propped himself up on the bed with his palm, and nibbled at Qin Xing’s chin.

Qin Xing was woken up, and he lightly slapped Shen Zhen’s buttocks: “Not sleeping anymore? Do you still feel uncomfortable?”

Shen Zhen stood up energetically and stretched in the sun.

“I can go to the company by myself, how about you today?” Shen Zhen asked Qin Xing after getting dressed.

Qin Xing was putting on his trousers, his waist was lean and strong, and Shen Zhen’s gaze couldn’t help lingering. He only looked away after Qin Xing put on his shirt.

It’s okay, he could touch to his heart’s content at night, Shen Zhen thought to himself.

Qin Xing: “I’m going to the company too, and your company happens to be on the way, so I’ll drop you off?”

Shen Zhen said reservedly: “No need, I sold a piece of land last time and though I didn’t make much money, I already bought a car, and I’ll be picking it up today or tomorrow.”

He had been holding back this whole time, and finally found a chance to reveal this news.

Like a child who had scored well in an exam and couldn’t wait to show off to his parents.

Qin Xing said very cooperatively: “Xiao Zhen is so capable?”

Shen Zhen’s face was expressionless, but the slightly raised corners of his mouth revealed his good mood: “Not really, it’s just luck.”

Qin Xing chuckled lowly: “Then why don’t others have such luck?”

Shen Zhen also laughed, and said, “Actually, it’s almost as expected, but I’m not going to sell the bigger ones.”

Qin Xing nodded: “There is indeed no need to sell those few pieces.”

Shen Zhen: “I’ve talked with someone before about cooperating to develop a chain shopping plaza. The funds are already in place, and the planning is almost done. If we’re fast enough, we will be able to start operations at the beginning of next year.”

Qin Xing: “Tell me if you don’t have enough money.”

Shen Zhen was not courteous with him either: “I will.”

“By the way, I bought a Maybach.” When Shen Zhen left, he turned his head and smiled at Qin Xing, “Next time you go to the company, shall I take you there in my car?”

Qin Xing smiled and said, “Okay, will you be my driver?”

Only then did Shen Zhen just realize that he hadn’t touched the steering wheel for several years, so he was a little panicked.

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

“Okay.” Shen Zhen agreed.

No big deal, he could just spend two hours a day practicing driving after getting off work.

After taking the driver’s license test, he never touched the steering wheel again, and all knowledge that should be returned to the trainer had already been returned to the trainer.

This was not an inn, just a residential house, but it was converted into a rental area by the owner himself. Except for the load-bearing walls, everything that could be dismantled was demolished, and then made into partitions. Such partitions were more airtight than those in the corridor, many rooms had no windows, so the air circulation was not good. People who were sick would only get worse if they stayed in it.

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

Shen Li led Shen Zhen to door No. 3, in fact it was just a yellow wooden board, which looked flimsy and not strong at all. Shen Li just reached out to knock on the door, but as soon as he put his hand on it, the door opened by itself.

There was a very awful smell coming from within.

Like a toilet that hadn’t been flushed in ages.

“What’s so stinky!”

“It stinks! What’s going on!”

“Did the toilet blow up?!”

Shen Li and Shen Zhen’s faces also showed disgust, but they could only walk into the room and close the door.

Room No. 3 was not next to the window, and there was a person lying on the bed. Shen Yun looked very different from before. He had lost a lot of weight, his cheeks had sunken in, and his body muscles had also disappeared. Fortunately, his original foundation was still there and he was not really a skeleton yet.

“Shen Yun?” Shen Zhen called out.

Only then did Shen Yun open his eyes. When he saw Shen Zhen and Shen Li, he turned over, apparently not wanting to talk to them: “Why are you here? I didn’t invite you here, so go away and do what you should do.”

Shen Li: “Shen Yun, are you crazy? Look at yourself now, how can you stand the smell in your room? Do you remember what you were like before?”

Shen Yun didn’t react at all, like a puppet. He said after a few seconds: “It’s none of your business what I’m like.”

“Shen Zhen, are you here to laugh at me? How about it? Is a joke like me funny enough for you?”

Shen Zhen said seriously: “It’s really not that funny, but it does stink.”

Shen Yun’s expression became a little distorted.

He regretted it a long time ago, but he gritted his teeth and dared not say that he regretted it. What kind of life did he have here? He had a lame foot, and he didn’t dare to go anywhere, for fear that he would lose face for the rest of his life if he met an acquaintance.

He went out to eat the cheapest box lunch every day. There were only two toilets in this shared house, and they were basically occupied by people every day. He had no choice but to buy two plastic buckets with lids and settle them in this room.

But the plastic buckets were not completely airtight, and there was always a smell in the room.

Over time, the smell couldn’t go away at all.

If only Shen Li came to look for him now, he would have definitely accepted a helping hand, but he didn’t expect Shen Zhen to come too. In front of Shen Zhen, he must not show weakness, he must hold on even if he had to force himself.

“Now you have seen enough, can you go?” Shen Yun said, almost gnashing his teeth.

Shen Zhen suddenly asked: “Are you planning to live here for the rest of your life? Or are you still waiting for Su Shiqing to come to you or Shen Mu to pick you up?”

“You are already in your twenties, stop having such unrealistic dreams.”

Shen Li also said beside him: “Third Brother tricked me out of two hundred thousand yuan, I can’t find him anywhere.”

Shen Yun: “…..”

He knew in his heart that Su Shiqing would not come to look for him, if he had, he would have come long ago, so why wait until now? He just didn’t want to admit it, how embarrassing would it be if he had to admit it? Wouldn’t admitting it mean that he was a total loser?

Shen Li said: “Second Brother, how about I take you away, you’re lame in the leg now, go back and talk to Dad, Dad won’t drive you out again.”

Shen Yun finally said bitterly: “How can I have the face to go back?”

He was the second youngest of the Shen family. Apart from Shen Zhen, he was the most promising heir. As a result, he had put himself into such a state that he didn’t even know how to go out to see people anymore.

Now Shen Yun didn’t dare to think about the future, locked in his shell like a tortoise, living day by day, sometimes thinking, if he didn’t force Shen Li to apologize to Su Shiqing, maybe he wouldn’t have been kicked out by his father.

What if he found a job after being kicked out of the house, after all he graduated from a prestigious university, so no matter what he would not be able to starve to death.

But just for the sake of saving face, he pushed himself to a desperate situation step by step.

Why did he ask Shen Li to apologize to Su Shiqing? Because he was the older brother of the three brothers since they were children, he basically took it for granted that his younger brothers should obey him and not disobey him.

Why didn’t he go get a job? Because he thought he was the heir of the Shen family, how could he work for others?

Every time Shen Yun thought of this, he didn’t dare to think about it any further.

Shen Zhen: “Your lame leg, do you intend to let it be lame forever?”

Shen Yun gritted his teeth: “It’s none of your business, I will find a way myself.”

Shen Zhen: “En.”

Shen Zhen said to Shen Li: “You have seen him already, let’s go.”

Shen Li lowered his head so that no one could see his expression, but he did not refuse Shen Zhen’s suggestion to leave, as if he would follow Shen Zhen when he left.

Shen Zhen opened the door of the room.

“Wait!” Shen Yun finally couldn’t hold back anymore, he got up from the bed and took a few steps forward, “You, I…..I…..”

Shen Zhen turned his head to look at Shen Yun: “Go find Su Shiqing, we won’t stop you.”

Shen Yun: “He, he…..”

Shen Li couldn’t help but say: “Forget about him! It’s not like you don’t know that when you are useful, you are Second Brother Shen, to him but when you are useless, you are just a disabled and cripple living in a low-rent house. Are you that stupid?!”

Shen Yun’s face turned red and then white.

Didn’t he know? Of course he already knew!

But he would rather not know!

Otherwise, it would make him look even more stupid. He fell into this state for a person who didn’t like him, he was a complete joke to anyone who sees him.

Shen Yun finally lowered his head. Facing Shen Zhen, he finally lowered his posture, bowed at the waist and said to Shen Zhen, “I want to heal my leg.”

“I don’t want to go back to the Shen family.”

“It’s too embarrassing.”

Shen Zhen: “If you don’t go back to the Shen’s, where do you want to go?”

Shen Yun looked at Shen Zhen blankly.

Shen Zhen: “Forget it, let’s go out first.”

Shen Li also realized that they had stayed in this room for too long, such that their noses had even gotten used to the smell, but it didn’t mean that the smell didn’t exist.

Shen Li supported Shen Yun to go out, and the three of them stood by the roadside, still not having decided where to go.

Shen Yun thought all the way as he walked, and said in a low voice: “I want to find a job for myself.”

At any rate, with some accomplishments, he would then have the face to go back to the Shen family.

Shen Yun was a person who valued face more than anything else.

Shen Yun looked at Shen Zhen’s expression, and said in a slightly begging tone, “Big Brother, I want to work in your company, and I can work from the bottom.”

Shen Li also looked at Shen Zhen, as if begging Shen Zhen to agree.

Shen Zhen asked, “Why should I agree?”

Shen Yun froze.

Shen Zhen smiled and said, “But I can show you a way. It’s up to you whether you want to go or not.”

Shen Yun: “Tell me.”

Shen Zhen’s voice was very gentle: “You know the relationship between Su Shiqing and Qin Yue, right?”

Shen Yun nodded: “They are lovers.”

Shen Zhen said: “In this case, you can go to Qin Yue’s company. Your surname is Shen, and you hold a grudge against me. Qin Yue will let you in. Maybe your position will not even be that low after you go in. The starting point is comparably higher than if you were to go to my company.”

Shen Yun looked at Shen Zhen strangely. He had already put himself in Shen Zhen’s hands. If Shen Zhen wanted to deal with him and torment him, wouldn’t it be more convenient to put him by his side?

Shen Li said from the side: “Shen Yun, don’t be foolish! Don’t tell me that you still want to see Su Shiqing?”

Shen Yun suddenly said: “I understand.”

Shen Zhen looked at Shen Yun with a half-smile: “What do you understand?”

Shen Yun: “I will go to Qin Yue’s company, and I know what to do.”

Shen Zhen understood what Shen Yun meant, and he suddenly asked strangely: “Can I ask you a question?”

Shen Yun’s expression became much sturdier, like the proud young master of the Shen family from before: “Go ahead.”

Shen Zhen: “What made you change your mind?”

Shen Yun really had no feelings left for Su Shiqing?

Shen Yun: “I have to find out no matter what, how the perpetrator can live so well when I am like this.”

Shen Zhen understood.

A person like Shen Yun was always like this, he would never admit his own mistakes, and could always find someone to blame. He used to blame Shen Li, but now he blamed Su Shiqing, thinking that it was Su Shiqing who made him into what he was now.

He didn’t think of himself as being in an unrequited love, nor did he think of himself as having wishful thinking.

He only felt that Su Shiqing had seduced him, but left him at a critical juncture. He put all the problems on Su Shiqing’s head.

So now Shen Yun hated Su Shiqing so much that he gnashed his teeth.

Just like he hated Shen Zhen in the previous life.

But there was one thing about him that was better than Shen Mu, at least if he and Shen Mu’s situations were reversed, he wouldn’t abandon his younger brother so easily.

Shen Mu was a complete egoist. He had no familial affection, no friendship, only interests in his eyes.

When Shen Yun could give him benefits, he was Shen Yun’s most loyal younger brother, but if Shen Yun couldn’t, he just abandoned Shen Yun without blinking an eye.

If Shen Zhen thought about it seriously, none of the brothers of the Shen family, including himself, were normal.

“After I go to Qin Yue’s company.” Shen Yun said, “I will give you all the information that should be given to you, but now I want to treat my leg, I want my leg to be exactly the same as before, I also need a place to live, money and a car.”

Shen Zhen sneered: “Are you worth so much? I don’t need to put someone in Qin Yue’s company either.”

Shen Yun didn’t expect Shen Zhen to say that, and for Shen Zhen to act so uncaring.

Shen Yun thought the deal was a sure thing, but now he panicked. He looked at Shen Zhen and asked in an unsteady tone: “Then what do you want?”

Shen Zhen smiled and said: “Actually, it’s fine if you can also go to Qin Yue’s company. I can also find someone to treat your leg. But there is no house, so you have to squeeze in with Shen Li. There is no car either but you can choose the bus or subway.”

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

Shen Yun: “Okay.”

He sold himself.

When Shen Yun got into the car, he was still thinking that after he stepped Qin Yue under his feet, he must take a good look at Su Shiqing’s face.

When that pretty face becomes twisted, it must be even more lovely.
