After The Vicious Cannon Fodder Was Reborn

After The Vicious Cannon Fodder Was Reborn CH 254 Celebration Party

4 Comments

The celebration banquet of “Black and White” was scheduled for the first Sunday in March. In addition to inviting SARFT and the main creative staff of the crew, Tao Mu also invited “The Great Wall of Flesh and Blood” and “Soldier Elite” screenwriter team who were plot consultants for the mainland remake of “Black and White”. Other than this, no media or industry guests were invited.

This made the media and artists who have been watching Tao Mu’s actions feel very disappointed. Those entertainment media were a little better, they just felt that it was a pity they could not write a report that could attract the audience. As for the stars who wanted to take this opportunity to befriend Tao Mu, they were quite disappointed. However, everyone could understand Tao Mu carefully arranging the party to let his own people have a better time.

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

The celebration party was arranged in the restaurant on the top floor of Beijing Hotel. When eating, there was no lack of raising a glass to speak. The Hong Kong production team felt a bit embarrassed here. Especially after seeing the meaningful smiles of the SARFT leaders present. Many people seem to be able to hear the sharp sound of the face being “slapped”. Director Xu Musen, who had been the most vehement opposition even in front of the media reporters, who had ridiculed the SARFT leaders for being ineffective, coughed constantly in embarrassment. He even bowed his head for once when toasting.

“…..This time the success of the remake of “Black and White” in the mainland is absolutely inseparable from the careful guidance of the leaders of SARFT. It was I who didn’t understand the rules of your domestic film market, and I accidentally offended quite a lot of people. I must ask the several leaders here to forgive——”

Before the words were finished, Zhou Yanqing and Yan Sheng, who were more attentive and sensitive, frowned at the same time. Sure enough, just as Xu Musen raised his glass to drink, he was interrupted by the leaders of SARFT: “Director Xu’s remarks are inappropriate. It has been many years since Hong Kong returned, whether domestic or foreign, everyone here is family. So don’t speak the words of two different families.”

The leaders of SARFT were actually quite annoyed by these Hong Kong filmmakers and could not help lightly rebuking. When they had works to be released and wanted to come to the mainland to make money, everyone was from China. But once they make enough money they always say things like, your country, or your circle have too low quality and are not worthy of comparison with us…..the switching back and forth between these two faces could not be more smooth.

Director Xu made an unintentional gaft and was deliberately pointed out by the SARFT leader, and his face became a little hot. He immediately smiled and said, “Yes, yes, it was my slip of the tongue. Everyone here is from China, and we are all descendants of of the Fiery Emperor and Yellow Emperor (TN: Han Chinese people).”

The leaders of SARFT smiled slightly and did not speak.

The atmosphere suddenly became even more awkward. All the Hong Kong people looked at each other, and they could pick up on the aggressiveness of the SARFT leaders. In the entire main table there was only one female star, Fang Ruoti. When she usually attended dinner parties and social gatherings, she was used to being a social butterfly character to set off the atmosphere. But it was the first time for Fang Ruoti to have dinner with the leaders of mainland’s SARFT. She was also afraid that she could not understand the taboos of the SARFT leaders, and accidentally offend the leaders with a wrong word. So she hesitated, wanting to stand up for Director Xu, but didn’t know what to say.

Zhou Yanqing and Yan Sheng hurriedly poured wine, their popularity and influence in the circle was enough, but it was not good to make amends for Director Xu in his place. They could only smile and help Director Xu explain. But the atmosphere at the dinner table was still a bit stuffy.

As the host, Tao Mu certainly couldn’t watch the atmosphere of the dinner party run off further and further away like a wild horse. He immediately stood up with a smile and said, “Let me say a few words. Actually, before Director Xu found me, I never thought that Director Xu would want a student like me to play the role of Zhou Yuanting. I also never thought that Director Xu could give the role of Zhou Yuanting so much screen time. Of course, I didn’t expect that I, who just debuted not long ago, could play the role of Zhou Yuanting, and even have the opportunity to be the producer of the remake of such a classic movie. First of all, I am very grateful to Director Xu for his kindness, and I am very grateful to Director Xu and the members of the production team for trusting me, and I am also very grateful to everyone who taught and guided me during filming. I benefited a lot.”

After Tao Mu said this, he drank a glass of white wine in one go. The members of the Hong Kong production team and the main actors present were also full of emotion. They never thought that Tao Mu could grow so much in such a short period of time. No need to say anything more about his acting, the key was that even his production level was so high.

“I’m very happy to work with you.” Zhou Yanqing raised his glass and clinked it with Tao Mu’s, saying sincerely: “You are a genius and also work very hard. I look forward to more cooperation with you.”

The reason the leaders of SARFT participated in the celebration banquet this time really did have some intention of slapping some faces. But for the sake of Tao Mu, they wouldn’t take it too far and just stopped after a few words. But they did not forget to sigh with emotion: “Hong Kong’s film market developed decades earlier than the mainland, so it is more complete in all aspects. This is also what our mainland film market needs to learn from. The truth being what it is, we must admit it. But there are actually many talented and capable actors and filmmakers in mainland China, and of course there are more film topics that could be explored in depth. We also hope that filmmakers from the three places can cooperate sincerely, learn from each other’s strengths and make up for each other’s shortcomings, and communicate with each other. Together, we can develop the Chinese film industry better, and we can transport Chinese culture and values ​​to the West as soon as possible.”

As expected of a leader within the system, he could summarize the topic to a high level in a few words. The people from the Hong Kong film industry present were a little uncomfortable with this way of speaking, but with the huge profit of 100 million yuan at the box office in just two weeks, everyone could only accompany the leaders to laugh and chat.

Fortunately, the leaders of SARFT also know that they were not welcome among these filmmakers. They had taken out their anger already, and the face was also slapped, but they still have to take care of the child’s emotions and face. The proud leaders of SARFT finally had a few drinks with the Hong Kong filmmakers and left early.

Before leaving, in front of everyone, the leaders of SARFT also explained to Tao Mu the issue of increasing the film slots in the next two weeks. Speaking of which, the leaders of SARFT really regarded Tao Mu as their own son. Just because Tao Mu participated in this film, the leaders of SARFT considered the need to support their newcomers, and deliberately considered the types and schedules of other films when arranging the film slots. Except in the first week, it came across a Hollywood 3D blockbuster that was unstoppable all over the world, so that the box office came in second. At the beginning of the second week, because of its excellent reputation and cast, “Black and White” actually overwhelmed the Hollywood 3D blockbuster towards the end and became the champion of the next week’s box office chart.

Considering that several other films released in the same period were overwhelmed by the Hollywood 3D blockbuster, the SARFT leaders simply suggested to the theater distributors to remove some of the films that were really weak and give up the screen time to “Black and White”. Make sure that its box office could go up in the third week and the fourth week. At least in terms of big data, don’t let their domestic films compare too badly to Hollywood blockbusters——even if the SARFT leaders didn’t like the attitude of the filmmakers in Hong Kong, “Black and White” was still a co-production. And it was also a film produced by a young man they were optimistic about.

The leaders of SARFT were dedicated to the public. Although there were times when they were not very good, as long as they have the opportunity to carry forward the national prestige and national self-confidence and pride, and make Chinese local films shine, they would also try their best to support them.

——Because of these words explained before leaving, Director Xu and the other members of the Hong Kong production team reluctantly forgave the grievances of being slapped in the face by the SARFT leader at the celebration banquet. And sincerely thanked the leaders for their support and cooperation.

The SARFT leaders did not like the Hong Kong filmmakers represented by Director Xu very much. But towards Zhou Yanqing, a superstar with a good professional level, good character and good personality, and also liked to do charity in the mainland very much, they were quite appreciative. Especially as Zhou Yanqing had also begun to support emerging mainland directors to make movies in the past two years. The SARFT leaders hoped that there would be more such influential actors with the spirit of a leader. Even to a certain extent, they made a subtle promise: “Mr. Zhou is a very good actor, and Tao Mu is a very good film and television producer in the mainland. We also hope that you two will have more opportunities for cooperation and cultivate film talents for the mainland.”

Director Xu and the other members of the Hong Kong production team stood at the door of the hotel and smiled, watching Tao Mu send the SARFT leaders away one by one. This scene was photographed by the media reporters squatting at the entrance of the hotel.

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

So the next morning, all the headlines in the newspapers were the huge headline of “SARFT leaders came to the celebration banquet of “Black and White”, and the producers of Hong Kong lined up to exchange goodbyes”. They also didn’t forget to attach the box office numbers of “Black and White” in the mainland.

Once comparing this to the various reports that Hong Kong and Taiwan production crews bullied mainland actors in recent years, it was truly all kinds of profound and interesting.

Source of Calamity CH 023 A New Him

Qin Xing handed over the notification of Qin Li to Shen Zhen, and Shen Zhen made a special trip back to the Qin family manor. Perhaps Qin Li already knew about it, but Qin Li didn’t dare to celebrate before Qin Xing notified him.

When Shen Zhen found Qin Li, Qin Li was drinking tea in the garden. He seemed to have been smoothed out of his original sharp edges and corners during this time, and he even smiled at Shen Zhen.

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

Qin Li didn’t smile often. He had the genes of the Qin family. In terms of appearance, he was not any less handsome than Qin Yue.

However, being spoiled and praised too much since he was a child, coupled with the contrast of Qin Yue, his character became more and more extreme.

But Qin Li was very calm at this moment. When he saw Shen Zhen walking over, he who had never looked directly at Shen Zhen before now stood up for the first time, and even stretched out his hand to Shen Zhen.

Such a change surprised Shen Zhen, but he still stretched out his hand to shake hands with Qin Li.

“Uncle asked me to inform you to go to T City to take over Qin Yue’s spot.” Shen Zhen said Qin Yue’s full name without any emotion, but he looked at Qin Li with complicated eyes. He remember Qin Li’s final ending in the book.

Because of frustration and drunkenness, Qin Li pointed at Su Shiqing’s nose and scolded him for sleeping his way up, and was not a true man.

These words made Su Shiqing sad and pained, and quarreled with Qin Yue several times because of it.

Then Qin Yue drove Qin Li out of the Qin family.

Qin Li died out on the streets. The book didn’t say how he died. Maybe he died of a disease, maybe he died of a street brawl, maybe he was robbed, but the book did describe how he just died alone and lonely in a corner of a street, even carefully detailing the trash can next to him.

The positioning of this character in the book was ‘useless trash’.

The reason why he existed was to have readers scold him.

Shen Zhen didn’t know why when he saw this passage, he felt sadness and sympathy even though he was already a dead man himself.

Because his own existence in the book was the same existence as Qin Li.

He and Su Shiqing had similar family backgrounds——they were both from minor families who were not valued by their own families.

And he was always better than Su Shiqing, walking in front of Su Shiqing.

In the book, his indifference was the original sin, and his taking for granted all luxury goods was like a silent mockery of Su Shiqing.

So he was met with misfortune and death so the reader could be happy.

So he died simply like that.

Qin Li seemed a little apprehensive. He asked cautiously, “What did Youngest Uncle say? Did Youngest Uncle say it himself?”

Shen Zhen smiled and said, “Uncle told me personally.”

Shen Zhen saw Qin Li clench his fists excitedly.

He suddenly understood why Qin Li hated Qin Yue so much.

Qin Li’s mother educated him too well, no, she had brainwashed him too well. She told Qin Li since he was a child that his youngest uncle was the best person in the world. In Qin Li’s heart, Qin Xing played the role of the father for him.

Even if this “father” had never been close to him, nor doted on him.

But because Qin Xing treated everyone like this, Qin Li didn’t think it was abnormal. He felt that as long as he worked harder, “father” would look at him more.

Until the appearance of Qin Yue. Qin Yue seemed to be noticed by Qin Xing suddenly, and then brought to Qin Xing’s side. Qin Yue became the existence of the moon being surrounded by stars in the Qin family, and many people even claimed that Qin Yue was actually Qin Xing’s illegitimate son and the reason his identity was Qin Xin’s son was because of his real mother’s flawed identity.

Qin Li looked like a mature adult, but in his heart he was actually a child who hadn’t grown up.

His various incomprehensible behaviors and actions were actually just the behavior of a child fighting for favor.

Qin Li stammered: “I was wrong last time, I, I…..”

“Thank you this time.” Qin Li said, “If you need my help with anything, you can tell me directly.”

It was the biggest promise he could make.

He should also know that Shen Zhen had mentioned him, so he was able to get this opportunity.

But the strange thing was that he was not jealous of Shen Zhen, instead he felt refreshed seeing Shen Zhen taking Qin Yue’s place.

Perhaps due to the passage of time, his feelings for Qin Yue have changed from jealousy to lasting and deep hatred.

So when looking at Shen Zhen, he was able to be calm.

“Have a seat.” Qin Li also poured a cup of tea for Shen Zhen. The two sat in the garden with servants passing by, all of whom felt incredulous at this scene.

“When did the relationship between Young Master Shen and Second Young Master get better?”

“I find it miraculous, too.”

“I thought that every time they met they would either quarrel or fight.”

Qin Li said: “Qin Yue must be very angry now.”

Shen Zhen was noncommittal and did not respond to Qin Li’s words.

Qin Li couldn’t help laughing: “I really want to see his expression at that time.”

Then Qin Li spoke excitedly again: “Youngest Uncle should have seen his true face a long time ago. That guy only knows how to pretend! He follows Youngest Uncle all day long, as if he is his son.”

En…..

Shen Zhen felt that it was an illusion that he just thought that Qin Li had become calmer.

Qin Li was more like a person with immature mental development.

He didn’t pretend, he didn’t lie, and he didn’t hide his true feelings like a normal adult.

Shen Zhen changed the subject: “When are you going to T City?”

Qin Li: “When do you think it’s better to go?”

Shen Zhen smiled: “The sooner the better, Qin Yue won’t do nothing.”

Qin Li nodded, he thought so too, Qin Yue looked upright, but his inner and outer appearance were not consistent, otherwise he would not be favored by Qin Xing.

The Qin family was a pack of wolves, and the head wolf must be fierce and cunning. An upright person was not suitable for this position.

Just when Shen Zhen was about to leave, Qin Li showed a sinister smile: “Shen Zhen, do you want Qin Yue to die?”

Shen Zhen didn’t stop, he walked ahead and chuckled softly.

Shen Zhen walked through the corridor of the Qin family manor. When he was very young, he felt that this corridor had no end, only one wall lamp after another, like the will-o’-the-wisps in a horror movie. He always wore small leather shoes and overalls, walking on this path again and again.

But now, he discovered that this corridor, which he hadn’t noticed for a long time, was actually very short, and it only took just over a minute to walk through it.

At the end of the corridor, he glanced back. The sun was just right, the breeze was mild, it didn’t look like winter at all.

A hand suddenly stretched out from the side of the corridor and grabbed Shen Zhen’s arm. Before Shen Zhen had time to react, he was pulled to the wall and one hand was placed next to Shen Zhen’s head.

He was held between Qin Yue’s chest and the wall by Qin Yue, this posture made Shen Zhen almost suffocate.

“What were you and Qin Li talking about just now?” Qin Yue approached Shen Zhen. Their postures were very ambiguous, Qin Yue’s voice was like a siren song, full of bewitching, “You told Qin Li, Uncle asked him go to T City, right?”

Shen Zhen pushed against the wall and escaped from Qin Yue’s half embrace. He straightened his clothes and stood in front of Qin Yue: “Yes.”

Qin Yue frowned tightly: “Why did you mention Qin Li in the car?”

Qin Yue knew that Shen Zhen would not lie in front of Qin Xing, so he could understand that Shen Zhen did not cover for the Su family, but what he couldn’t understand was why Shen Zhen didn’t speak for him, and why he brought up Qin Li at that time.

But he was very sure that Shen Zhen loved him.

Even if he had been hovering between believing and not believing this.

“That’s a way to calm Uncle’s anger.” Shen Zhen said with a smile, “We all know Qin Li’s ability. If he goes to T City, Uncle will know your benefits.”

Qin Yue’s frown relaxed a little, he sighed and remained silent for a while.

The two stood together, but there was only an awkward air flow between each other.

“Shi Qing, he…..” Qin Yue sighed again, and he seemed to be able to sigh endlessly, “He told me what happened that night.”

Shen Zhen didn’t move, he stood with a blank expression on his face, as if he hadn’t been affected, and as if be was in a daze from the blow.

“You thought I would come back that night.” Qin Yue said.

Shen Zhen: “Stop talking.”

Qin Yue grabbed Shen Zhen’s hand: “Xiao Zhen.”

Shen Zhen looked into Qin Yue’s eyes, he endured it to the limit, and finally couldn’t endure it anymore: “Qin Yue, what did Su Shiqing tell you, that I drugged myself and tricked him to pass it to me, and then I went off to seduce you ? When were you so stupid? That you would believe such nonsense?”

“You don’t know what kind of person I am?” Shen Zhen sneered, “Maybe Su Shiqing could do it, but I couldn’t.”

Qin Yue frowned: “Xiao Zhen, you have a prejudice against Shi Qing, and you were the one who brought him to the Qin family in the first place. He also said that he thought he could become good friends with you for a lifetime, so don’t be too stubborn and stay in your own world, not wanting to come out.”

“A friend? How is he a friend?” Shen Zhen smiled, “Do you want me to give you examples?”

“When I want to discuss business, can he discuss it with me?”

“When I want to chat about finance and the market, can he chat with me?”

“When I want to try a new project, can he try it with me?”

“Being friends with him is just me unilaterally accommodating him.”

“Listen to him talking about how he was bullied at home, how miserable he was in the past, and how much he hopes for world peace?”

Shen Zhen: “It is enough for you to chat with him about this, it is enough for him to have you as a friend, you will never feel that you have no common language with him.”

Qin Yue was speechless, he supported his forehead: “Shi Qing hasn’t much contact with the outside world, you have to give him more patience.”

Shen Zhen sneered: “I gave it, and isn’t he now sleeping in your bed at night now? This is the result and end of my patience for him.”

“I have nothing to say to you.” Shen Zhen pushed Qin Yue’s shoulder away.

Qin Yue stood behind Shen Zhen and asked, “Xiao Zhen, can we go back to the past?”

Shen Zhen: “How long ago in the past?”

Qin Yue was silent for a while: “Before Shi Qing came.”

Shen Zhen walked in front, raised his hand and waved without looking back, saying nothing.

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

Once something happened, how could it be possible to go back?

What had been said could not be swallowed back, and what had been eaten could not be spat out as it was.

He was a new him, and he would not repeat the mistakes of his previous life.

After Two Lifetimes I Was Reborn Back Inside A Book

After Two Lifetimes I Was Reborn Back Inside A Book CH 022 Buying A House In The Rurals?

4 Comments

On May 4th, the holiday had already passed halfway.

Jiang Chen promised to accompany Shen Xu for three days, and at this time he had no choice but to make good on his promise.

Early in the morning, Shen Xu arrived at the Jiang’s house, ate the breakfast made by Yang Si with Jiang Chen, praised her cooking so sweetly that Yang Si went to the hospital with a smile on her face, and immediately took Jiang Chen to accompany him to his house to play video games.

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

“Come on, come on!”

As soon as he took off his shoes, Shen Xu couldn’t wait to run to sit in front of the TV, pick up the game control and turn on the TV.

Jiang Chen passed him, walked straight to the study, and said as he walked, “I have some things to deal with, I’m gonna use your computer, by the way, accompany me to go out later in the afternoon.”

“Ah?” Shen Xu put down the controller, and followed Jiang Chen with a bitter face: “Where are you going? Ice rink? Play ball? Don’t tell me it’s the library!”

Jiang Chen thought for a moment, and replied, “Go shopping, buy something.”

Shen Xu relaxed, as long as it was not the library.

After lunch, the two went out together.

“Where shall we go first? Why take 812? I have never taken this bus before.” On the bus, Shen Xu leaned on the railing and asked curiously as he looked out of the window.

The familiar yet unfamiliar street scene passed by, and Jiang Chen looked away: “The northern suburbs.”

“Mountain climbing?” Shen Xu raised his head and drooped instantly, his whole body was like a cabbage beaten by the frost: “There are a lot of people in Kong Mt. on holidays, aren’t we just asking to be crowded to death by people?”

“Don’t worry.” The corner of Jiang Chen’s mouth had a slight curve, and when he turned his head to look at Shen Xu, the curve deepened, and the dimple next to the corner of his left lip was faintly visible: “It absolutely won’t be crowded.”

Last night, he made a plan for the money in his hands, and after finding the information he wanted on Shen Xu’s home computer, he already made a preliminary decision in his mind.

It was now 2004, and his memory of the first life in 2004 was somewhat blurred. Most of his memories were concentrated on family and school, and he had almost no impression of economic development and investing in stocks. Fortunately, he still remembered the basic development process and general direction of future years.

This year was no longer the best year to invest in real estate, but compared to later years, it was still considered a golden time, especially since the demolition boom that started in the past two years had made many people worth millions overnight.

Among them, the one that impressed Jiang Chen the most was a small village close to the scenic area outside the fifth ring road in the northern suburbs. It was just an ordinary small village, and thus remote and lacking in people.

But at the end of this year, it would welcome development because of the live hot springs, retaining the original forest vegetation and original scenery of the village, and building a national 5A scenic spot. While attracting countless tourists, it would also usher in a period of rapid development for that small village. So no need to say more about its investment prospects. Countless people would flock over there for the hot springs and the benefits that the fresh and clean air brings to the body.

It was just because of the government’s protection policy, after the development, except for the original residents before the development, only a very small group of people could own their own houses there. It would be more than half a year before the news of development came out and this was Jiang Chen’s opportunity. Whether it was waiting for the demolition money or living there in the future, it was a sure profit deal.

The car wobbled towards the north, from the bustling urban area to the crowded scenic spots, passed the scenic spots, and drove to the outermost suburbs of Yan City, where the population gradually became less and less dense.

Shen Xu woke up after a nap, saw that the bus had yet to stop, and yawned: “How long has it been?”

“It’s almost two hours, and the next stop is ours.”

“Kong Mt. is that far away?” Shen Xu yawned, looked out the window in a daze for a while, and then came back to his senses: “Wait, where is this?”

At the same time as he finished speaking, the station announcement sounded: “The Wugu Village stop is here, passengers getting off…..”

“Wugu Village?” Shen Xu looked blank: “Where is Wugu Village? Is it still in Yan City?”

Jiang Chen got up: “Come on.”

Standing on the asphalt road with a few other people, an old man carrying a burden passed by them. Shen Xu belatedly said: “Wugu Village, isn’t it the countryside? Jiangzi, you aren’t here for shopping, are you? And shopping…..what is there to buy here? Vegetables?”

Jiang Chen threw an arm over his neck, smiling brightly: “You will know later.”

The two walked along the asphalt road, and a man in a suit was waiting not far away. When he saw them coming, he was a little surprised and hesitant. After the two stood still, he tentatively asked, “Mr. Jiang?”

“Hello, I’m Jiang Chen.” Jiang Chen stretched out his hand, smiled and nodded.

“Hello.” The man glanced at Jiang Chen and Shen Xu behind him, and his smile became a little forced in an instant: “You are Mr. Jiang who wants to buy a house in Wugu Village? Excuse me, but are you a legal adult yet?”

Jiang Chen took out his ID card: “This is my ID card. Don’t worry, I’m buying the house this time for the sake of the elders in my family. There will be no problems whether it’s signing a contract or payment.”

The man relaxed a lot after hearing the words, but he still doubted: “Can such a big matter really be left to you to decide?”

“Mr. Chen, although we are here just to see the house first to confirm our intention, we can pay the money and sign the contract immediately if we are sure, but no matter what, I will not let you make this trip in vain.” Jiang Chen took out a paper envelope and handed it to the man, saying, “This is the hard work fee for this trip. If the contract is signed, in addition to your commission, I will give you another part of the hard work fee.”

Chen Fang looked at Jiang Chen whose expression remained calm and steady, and moved his eyes down to the paper envelope in his hand. He hesitated for a moment, took it, opened it and looked at the amount inside, and his expression improved a lot in an instant: “Mr. Jiang Chen, sir, you are too polite. I have already made an appointment with the seller. I will take you there now. Besides that one, there is another owner in Wugu Village that is going to sell their house. If you want to see it, I can also take you there for a look….”

Chen Fang led the way, while Jiang Chen and Shen Xu walked behind, listening to his eloquent introduction of the scenery and future development of Wugu Village.

Shen Xu’s eyes were full of confusion. He wanted to ask but didn’t know how to ask. Even if he was beaten to death, he would never have thought that Jiang Chen came here to look at housing. It was even an exaggeration to say that this was even the city outskirts as it looked more like the countryside instead. It didn’t make any sense at all why he would buy a house here.

Could it be that in order to treat Uncle Jiang’s legs, the Jiang family had no money and could only sell their house in the city center and come to the countryside to buy a house?

Shen Xu’s face was full of hesitation, but he couldn’t hold back in the end. He leaned into Jiang Chen’s ear and said, “Jiangzi, you really came here to buy a house? No way, right?”

Jiang Chen looked at the woods on the hillside not far away, pointed to the creek and wild flowers at his feet, and asked with a smile, “Don’t you think the air here is good? My dad needs to recover for a while after the operation, and if he lives at home he will have to keep going up and down the stairs. It’s inconvenient, and the city center is also noisy, and it’s not suitable for recuperation, so buying a house here, once he is discharged from the hospital and moved here, he can have a good rest.”

“Mr. Jiang is right.” Hearing the conversation between Jiang Chen and Shen Xu, Chen Fang was more relieved, and he said with a smile: “Wugu Village may not be as good as the city center in regards to other factors, but the scenery is really worth mentioning. Moreover, there are many live hot springs in the mountains, the only disadvantage here is the remoteness, otherwise, if it was developed, there will definitely be more tourists than over at Kong Mt., but if it is for health care and retirement, the tranquility and scenic atmosphere here are definitely the most suitable.”

“And this is not really considered a rural area. Real rural houses are not allowed to be listed for sale. Wugu Village is divided into the Wugu District. It is considered a town and has a real estate certificate. It’s just that most of the people living here are villagers and few will sell their house.”

The three of them talked and walked to a bungalow. A middle-aged man was standing by the wall. When he saw them coming, he rubbed his hands and smiled honestly: “Mr. Chen, you are here, these two are looking at the house, right? I’ll take you inside to have a look.”

Chen Fang greeted the man, and then introduced him to Jiang Chen: “This is the owner who plans to sell the house. Their family will move to the south. This house was built by himself when he got married, and it is only three years old. It’s very new, and there’s a big yard at the back, the whole house including the yard is nearly 500 square meters, and most importantly, the backyard of his house is connected to a hot spring, you can go and see it.”

Under Chen Fang’s lead, Jiang Chen looked over the house, and after seeing the hot spring in the backyard, he immediately made a decision in his heart.

However, during this period, except for asking some small questions, he did not show the slightest intention to buy it. It was not until he returned to the main room and sat down face to face that he asked unhurriedly: “Uncle Yang, your house is really good. The area of ​​the house along with the yard is not small, but the property area does not include this yard, right?”

“This…..” The man was not good at fooling people, he nodded honestly and said, “That’s true, but even though there is no real estate certificate, every household circles the yard like this, and everyone acknowledges it.”

Jiang Chen said: “Your house has two floors, with a total area of ​​168 square meters. The price you gave is 1,800 yuan per square meter, plus the packing price of the backyard, and the total price is 334,800 yuan. If you can go to the neighborhood committee now, and then sign the contract with me under the witness of the town’s residents, I can pay 350,000 yuan.”

“This…..” The man was a little puzzled, and looked at Chen Fang who was on the side.

Chen Fang understood the meaning of Jiang Chen’s actions in the blink of an eye.

If Jiang Chen bought this place for recuperation, there was a high probability that he would not move here immediately, and he might not live here long term in the future.

When a house was left empty, it was easy to attract troubles, such as a small but very likely issue to happen here: the neighbor next door repaired their walls and moved a few meters towards your area. Once you move over they have already finished building. The house lease stated that land belonged to you, but you couldn’t use the law to argue with them, and it was not like you could forcibly tear down the other person’s walls, right?

Although it was classified as an urban area here, the folks in the village recognized favors and relationships more than contracts. In such a small circle that was xenophobic and had been neighbors for decades, even if you had reason on your side, the possibility of others helping you was not too big.

Now Jiang Chen intended to pay more money, and sign the contract under the noses of the neighborhood committee staff who have some weight in the hearts of these residents, not only to guarantee he had witnesses, but also to use the owner of this house to bring him into the circle of these people, so that the people here were more likely to accept him.

Looking at Jiang Chen who showed almost no emotion during the whole process, yet hit every nail on the head directly when he opened his mouth, Chen Fang couldn’t help being impressed. Was this meticulous attitude really that of an eighteen year old boy? When he was eighteen years old he ran away from home and was foolishly cheated out of two hundred yuan.

Su Shiqing’s words were like a bolt from the blue. Shen Zhen stood on the spot, frowning slightly, and pursing his lips slightly. He was absent-minded for a moment, but soon came back to his senses. Shen Zhen recalled that day, he had thought he just drank too much, and perhaps he might have had something with someone, but he didn’t expect it to be Qin Xing.

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

In fact, he didn’t even think it would be a man.

Although he had never had sex with anyone, he also knew what gay sex entailed. If he really had sex with a man, he couldn’t not have woken up without any feeling, unless…..unless he was the one to…..Uncle Qin…..

Shen Zhen was taken aback by his own thoughts.

No matter how he thought about it, he didn’t think that Uncle Qin was willing to be subordinate to others, no matter outside or inside the bedroom.

Shen Zhen stopped thinking, and looked at Su Shiqing: “Have you said enough?”

Su Shiqing still wanted to speak, but Shen Zhen sneered and shouted: “Security! Someone here is harassing me.”

The security guard of the restaurant was a big muscular man, and he didn’t have any unprofessional tenderness, coming over when he heard Shen Zhen’s words. He glanced at Su Shiqing, his eyes were full of suspicion, he hadn’t seen anyone coming in just now.

Shen Zhen said to the security guard: “He is not a guest, please take him out.”

Sure enough, the security guard walked towards Su Shiqing, and just as he was about to grab Su Shiqing’s arm, Su Shiqing shouted, “I’m also a guest, and I’m with him! The person inside is also my uncle!”

The security guard looked at Shen Zhen in confusion.

The security guard stood where he was, not knowing whether he should move or not, and was at a loss for a while.

“Are you sure you want to go in and see your uncle?” Shen Zhen looked at him with a half-smile, “Qin Yue is not here.”

Su Shiqing felt a little guilty, but he still said with a straight face: “Ah Yue also took me to see my Uncle, and Uncle talked to me.”

Although at that time Qin Xing only half-closed his eyes and asked whose child this was.

Shen Zhen laughed out loud: “Then you go and see if Uncle recognizes you as a niece-in-law.”

The word “niece-in-law” made Su Shiqing a little dazed.

Did Qin Xing know about his relationship with Qin Yue?

It shouldn’t be, no one should know that he and Qin Yue have established a relationship, and had even become intimate all the way.

“Let’s go.” Shen Zhen looked at Su Shiqing with a smile, “Aren’t you going to see Uncle? Let’s go together.”

Su Shiqing looked at Shen Zhen angrily: “Don’t think that no one knows your true face, you gleeful villain, if you didn’t play tricks, you would never be able to follow at Uncle’s side. I will let everyone know just what kind of person you are.”

Yes, he wanted everyone to know what kind of person Shen Zhen was. Qin Xing was Qin Yue’s uncle, and so he was also his uncle. He couldn’t watch his uncle being deceived by such a scheming person.

He wanted to pull his uncle out of the fire pit.

This time, Su Shiqing didn’t wait for the security guard to grab him, and instead voluntarily raised his head and walked away proudly.

He was not that stupid to go see Uncle Qin with Shen Zhen. Shen Zhen had become favored by Uncle Qin recently. He had to go back and organize his words, find ways to find evidence, and then tell Uncle Qin.

It wasn’t until Su Shiqing left that Shen Zhen returned to the sink and washed his face with water. He looked at the man in the mirror. He was young, pale, and his eyes were full of confusion. Why was it Qin Xing?

Qin Xing knew this whole time, but he never told him.

He felt like a clown, always in Qin Xing’s grasp.

Shen Zhen took a deep breath and covered his face.

He gathered himself for nearly a minute before letting go and arranging his clothes and hair in front of the mirror.

No matter what Qin Xing’s purpose was, at least now he couldn’t offend Qin Xing. The only thing he could do was pretend that he didn’t know anything.

Shen Zhen smiled mockingly at himself in the mirror.

If he had enough confidence, what he should do now was to question Qin Xing instead of pretending nothing happened to maintain the peace.

But he couldn’t.

When Shen Zhen returned to the dining table, the dishes had already begun to be served. Qin Xing had already taken off his gloves. His utensils had already been disinfected a second time and that pair of gloves lay on a tray to the side. It would not be used again.

“Why were you gone for so long?” Qin Xing asked softly.

Shen Zhen didn’t know how to face Qin Xing now, but he still replied, “Su Shiqing came to see me.”

Qin Xing didn’t speak, and Shen Zhen knew that Qin Xing couldn’t immediately  think of who Su Shiqing was.

“Oh, really?” Qin Xing smiled, “What did he say to Xiao Zhen?”

Shen Zhen looked at Qin Xing, Qin Xing acted very naturally, still with that look of sophisticated ease, without any nervousness.

Shen Zhen: “He said he wanted to go back to the Qin family.”

Qin Xing: “Does Xiao Zhen want him to go back to the Qin family?”

Shen Zhen raised his head and asked, “If I want him to go back to the Qin family, then he can go back to the Qin family?”

Qin Xing smiled: “Yes.”

Shen Zhen suddenly said, “Uncle, I’m hungry, let’s eat.”

Qin Xing didn’t say anything more, and the two finished their meal quietly. The food was delicious and the chef’s skills were excellent, but Shen Zhen was not in the mood to appreciate the food. Everything tasted like ashes in his mouth.

Shen Zhen’s attention was focused on Qin Xing.

He had never observed Qin Xing so closely before.

For example, Qin Xing’s serving chopsticks would be placed on the left hand side, and his eating chopsticks would be placed on the right hand side.

For example, his eating movements were very meticulous, and there would be no oil stains on the corners of his mouth.

Such a Qin Xing…..would he really have that kind of relationship with him?

Could it be that Qin Xing was also drugged that night?

Even till he put down his chopsticks, Shen Zhen was still immersed in his own world. He couldn’t imagine Qin Xing without clothes at all, it felt so strange.

“Xiao Zhen, do you have something you want to say to Uncle?” Qin Xing said suddenly, looking at Shen Zhen deeply.

Shen Zhen reflexively said: “No, Uncle, we are going to have a meeting tomorrow, right?”

Qin Xing raised the corners of his mouth and smiled: “Remember to come prepared.”

Shen Zhen: “Got it.”

“Ah Yue will be there tomorrow.” Qin Xing said, “He will report on the performance of the new branch office last quarter.”

Shen Zhen didn’t react when he heard Qin Yue’s name now, as if this person was far away from his life.

If no one mentioned him, he wouldn’t even remember this person.

During Qin Yue’s departure, Shen Zhen didn’t even have a single phone call with him.

In his previous life, Shen Zhen actually thought this was normal. After all, the two of them had their own things to do, and it was impossible to stick to each other all the time.

Thinking of it now, it was actually quite ridiculous.

On the way back, Shen Zhen kept wanting to ask where Qin Xing was that night. On the one hand, he hoped that what Su Shiqing said was a lie, but on the other hand, his logic told him that Su Shiqing would not use Qin Xing to lie to him. Shen Zhen was very conflicted and kept frowning in the car.

Shen Zhen was going back to live in the Qin family manor tonight. He hadn’t been back there only for a short while, but when he stood in front of the gate of the Qin family manor, he felt that this house was very unfamiliar, as if that apartment which was much more pitifully smaller than the Qin family manor was more like the home he lived in since he was a child.

The moment he stepped through the gate of the manor, Shen Zhen had a novel feeling. He looked at everything here as if it was the first time he was seeing it.

It was as if he had returned to his childhood and was led here by an adult who he couldn’t even remember the face of.

At that time, he didn’t know that he would live in this huge, castle-like house forever. He shrank behind the adult, terrified, and the adult said to him: “Don’t be afraid, this is your future home now. You must be good, you must be obedient, and you must be likable, only then will you have a good life.”

He wanted to cry at the time, but he knew that crying children were not liked, so he held back his tears and replied, “I will be good and obedient.”

As they walked through the huge garden, he held his head up with difficulty, pretending that he was strong, that he was not an unwanted child by his parents, he was here to help the family, and he was here to be a little hero.

Children were always very sensitive. When Shen Zhen saw the Qin family’s juniors, he knew that these people didn’t like him. They looked at him indifferently, as if he was some dirty thing.

“What’s your name?” The boy in a small suit walked up to him, stretched out a small white hand, and said seriously and solemnly, “My name is Qin Yue, you can call me Eldest Brother just like them.”

Shen Zhen stretched out his hand timidly, and held the boy’s hand: “My name is Shen Zhen.”

That was when all the nightmares started.

It all started with the hand that reached out to him.

“Uncle, I’m going back to my room first.” Shen Zhen said goodbye to Qin Xing on the stairs in the corridor.

Qin Xing didn’t hold him back: “Go, go to bed early, and tell the servants if you need anything.”

Shen Zhen’s mood had completely calmed down, he said with a smile: “Understood, Uncle should also go to bed early.”

He went straight to his room. All the rooms in the Qin family manor, whether occupied or empty, would be cleaned every day. Shen Zhen didn’t take all the clothes with him when he left. There were still pajamas and a change of clothes in his original room.

After Shen Zhen walked into the room, the servant asked at the door: “Young Master Shen, do you need anything?”

Shen Zhen: “Pour me a glass of red wine, make sure it has a higher alcohol concentration.”

Servant: “Okay, Young Master Shen, it will be brought over right away.”

After not coming back for a while, Shen Zhen found that the servants seemed to be a lot more respectful towards him.

After Shen Zhen finished washing up, he lay down on the bed. He didn’t put on the pajamas, but only wore a pair of boxer underwear. His skin made direct contact with the clean and fluffy quilt, which felt quite pleasant. The glass of red wine was placed on the bedside table.

Originally, Shen Zhen thought that he would suffer from insomnia tonight, but unexpectedly, he fell asleep very quickly and slept very soundly.

After he fell asleep, the closed bedroom door was gently pushed open, and a dark figure walked in slowly. The man walked to Shen Zhen’s bed, and saw Shen Zhen’s sleeping posture through the moonlight streaming in through the windows. Shen Zhen slept on his side with his arm outside the quilt. Although the room was heated, the temperature would be lowered a few degrees at night.

The man put his hand on Shen Zhen’s wrist, brushed his thumb over Shen Zhen’s skin, and gently kneaded it.

The same beautiful feeling as that night, making him unable to help but linger.

But the man still lifted Shen Zhen’s arm gently, put it under the quilt, and then stroked Shen Zhen’s face with his hand one last time.

Without doing anything else, the figure returned to the door. The moment the door was closed, only a hint of gentle and lingering chuckle could be heard.

Very slight, very ambiguous.

Full of indescribable tenderness.

It was just that Shen Zhen in his sleep wasn’t aware of anything.

Qin Xing walked down the corridor. This late at night even the servants were resting. He looked ahead, and what came to his mind was Shen Zhen’s sleeping face, and Shen Zhen’s various unnatural behaviors at dinner today.

He had likely found out.

But it didn’t matter, he had enough time and patience to silently and soundlessly pervade Shen Zhen’s life.

When Shen Zhen relied on him, trusted him, and could not leave him, even if it was not love, it was no different from love.

In the early morning of the next day, the sun shone in through the uncurtained windows, casting golden light on the room. The trees outside shook in the wind, making a “rustling” sound. The alarm clock set in the mobile phone rang, and the music was a soothing piano piece which some with even slightly weaker willpower would regard as a lullaby.

Shen Zhen got out of the quilt and turned off the alarm clock.

It happened that the servant also knocked on his door at this time.

“Mr. Shen, Mr. Qin is in the dining room.” The servant opened the curtains and stood aside, ready to tidy up after Shen Zhen left the room.

Shen Zhen had never been taken care of so considerately by the servants before.

Shen Zhen dressed in front of the servant in only a pair of underwear, feeling a bit awkward.

The dining room was already full of people, and it was a rare day for Qin Yue to come back. After this time, he would only return again three months after, which was the end of a season.

However, this time, Qin Yue did not sit on Qin Xing’s left hand side.

When Shen Zhen appeared in the dining room, everyone’s eyes were on him, including Qin Yue, but at this moment, Qin Yue’s eyes were filled with various complicated emotions.

“Sit here.” Qin Xing smiled at Shen Zhen.

Shen Zhen lowered his head: “Okay, Uncle.”

He sat over and took the seat that originally belonged to Qin Yue.

Qin Yue watched Shen Zhen sit down, and called out in a low voice: “Ah Zhen.”

Shen Zhen smiled: “Eldest Brother Qin.”

Shen Zhen never called Qin Yue that way before, he would call Qin Yue ‘Ah Yue’, which was more intimate.

“I heard from Uncle that you have gone to work in the head office.” Qin Yue said, “Starting from the bottom level?”

Shen Zhen didn’t know why Qin Yue brought this up, but he replied: “I have no work experience, it’s already an opportunity to start from the bottom level.”

Qin Yue nodded, but did not continue.

Everyone at the table had their own thoughts, but the only thing in common was that they no longer looked at Shen Zhen with the same eyes as before. They would take the initiative to talk to Shen Zhen, talk about the latest current events, and then praise Shen Zhen for his willingness to start from the ground up.

“I always felt Xiao Zhen was a child who could endure hardship.”

“I wonder when Ah Meng will be enlightened.”

Qin Meng’s person sat at the table, and the disaster came from the sky, he said quickly: “Don’t mention me.”

Every time Qin Shan wqs mentioned, he would also be brought up in the topic, and now the same was happening with Shen Zhen. Qin Meng felt that he was really unlucky. What was so great about going to the bottom level of the company? One couldn’t even reveal one’s identity, and could only have a little freedom every week during the off days, while having to live as an ascetic monk the rest of the time.

For example, his sister, since she went to work in the company, the starlets she kept could only be seen once a week.

Qin Meng felt that he couldn’t bear to continue to be a vegetarian after so many years of eating meat.

He whispered: “Uncle doesn’t care about me, so what do you even have to say.”

After breakfast, Shen Zhen followed behind Qin Xing, about to head off to the meeting. A performance report meeting would be held every quarter. The company’s board of directors and senior management would go, and people from every provincial capital branch office would also come.

Such a meeting sometimes lasted for a long time, and sometimes ended quickly.

Qin Yue was also going to the company, so he got into Qin Xing’s car.

Sitting next to Shen Zhen.

Qin Yue had been by Qin Xing’s side this whole time, and could be considered to have been personally taught by Qin Xing, so among the juniors of the Qin family, only Qin Yue could strike up conversations with Qin Xing.

“Uncle.” Qin Yue’s expression was very respectful, and his sitting posture was very upright, “I think the information data can be handed over to Baiyun Company for processing. I have inspected this company. It has strong business capabilities and accurate market analysis.”

Qin Xing smiled and said, “Can’t our company do it ourselves?”

The Qin Group was such a large enterprise covering almost all the businesses that make money, and had long had a branch company dedicated to the Internet.

Qin Yue explained: “Our own information department has not yet expanded, and there are other work to do.”

Qin Xing asked: “Baiyun, is this company new?”

Qin Yue: “It was registered at the end of last year.”

The smile on the corner of Qin Xing’s mouth did not change, but Shen Zhen felt that there was a sarcastic tilt to it no matter how he looked at it, but it disappeared in the blink of an eye, as if the feeling just now was Shen Zhen’s illusion.

“Then what made you choose not to cooperate with an established company, but to cooperate with a small company that has only been in business for less than a year?” Qin Xing asked.

Qin Yue: “Because I went to investigate, I believe in the strength of Baiyun.”

Qin Xing: “Who is the legal person of Baiyun?”

Qin Yue’s expression froze for a moment, but he immediately reacted: “I didn’t look into this.”

“Ah Yue.” Qin Xing looked at him kindly, “When you tell a lie, you have to make sure all the details match. Since you decided to cooperate with a small company, you must have done your research, but you don’t even know who the legal person is?”

Qin Yue lowered his head.

Qin Xing turned his head to Shen Zhen and said gently: “Xiao Zhen, help Uncle find out who the legal person of Baiyun is.”

Shen Zhen nodded, took out his tablet and began to search. New companies like this might not have much information on the Internet, but they could still be found out by going to the registration website to check, as long as the company Baiyun really existed.

“The legal person’s name is Su Yuan.” Shen Zhen was startled when he saw the name.

Su Yuan was Su Shiqing’s biological father, a middle-aged man with mediocre abilities who was not taken seriously by the Su family.

Because Su Shiqing couldn’t be registered under the Shen family household, Qin Yue tried to bring up Su Shiqing’s biological father.

Qin Xing: “What’s his relationship with Su Shiqing?”

Shen Zhen said truthfully, “He’s Su Shiqing’s father.”

Qin Yue lowered his head.

In the past, Qin Xing would not ask about these matters. Qin Xing only looked at the results, not the process.

As long as the result was good, he didn’t care who he cooperated with at all. So Qin Yue just reported this time as usual.

In fact, the data had already been handed over to Baiyun.

He never expected that Qin Xing would reject his proposal.

Qin Yue’s face shifted from red to white amd then back again.

However, the car continued to drive.

Qin Xing said, “Ah Yue, I remember you have a good relationship with Su Shiqing?”

Qin Yue said with difficulty: “We are good friends.”

Qin Xing: “Then can you be sure that Su Yuan is also a good business partner? What projects has Baiyun done since its establishment, what was the probability of success of these projects, and what were their advantages compared with their peers? Do you have a data sheet?”

“Show me the data sheet.” Qin Xing said.

Qin Yue’s words seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth: “The data sheet is in the company, I didn’t bring it with me.”

Qin Xing looked at Qin Yue like he was a disobedient child: “You should at least remember the basic data, tell me.”

Qin Yue reported a bunch of data.

The more Shen Zhen listened, the more something felt strange. Wasn’t this the data of a network information company that ranked among the top 500 last year?

“Ah Yue.” Qin Xing’s smile suddenly subsided.

In Shen Zhen’s memory, Qin Xing always had a smile on his face, kind and gentle, but never like now. He was like a lion about to fly into a rage, and silence was his buffer before the outbreak.

The expressionless Qin Xing was very frightening.

Qin Yue whispered, “Uncle.”

Qin Xing’s tone became indifferent: “Do you think I have only you as my successor? Do you think I can’t do anything if no one can take over my mantle?”

Qin Yue hurriedly raised his head and said, “Uncle, I never thought that.”

“Xiao Zhen.” Qin Xing suddenly said to Shen Zhen, “Do you know which company that string of data that Ah Yue mentioned just now belongs to?”

Shen Zhen bit the bullet and said, “It’s Huihe Information Company, which ranked among the top 500 last year.”

Qin Xing said to Qin Yue: “Even Xiao Zhen remembers, why do you think I can’t remember?”

“Ah Yue, do you think that Uncle is getting old and senile and my memory has gone bad?”

This was too serious of an accusation, Qin Yue shook his head in shock: “No, Uncle, I made a mistake, I mixed up the data.”

“Uncle never cares about what you do in private.” Qin Xing sneered, “Because I can give you what you have, and I can also take it back. Today you lied to me for the Su family, what about tomorrow?”

Qin Yue: “Uncle, I didn’t mean to lie to you, I really did remember wrongly, Xiao Zhen, please say something for me.”

Shen Zhen sat on the side, glanced at Qin Yue coldly, and suddenly smiled and said to Qin Xing: “Uncle, don’t be angry with him, it’s not worth it, I think Second Brother is much more mature these days, and Second Brother has stayed at home for a long enough time.”

Second Brother referred to Qin Li, who had been staying at home since the last incident.

Qin Xing’s facial expression eased a little, and he said in a neutral tone: “In this case, Ah Yue, you should rest at home for a while after coming back this time, and let Ah Li go handle the matter in T City. Although it is not that good to change the leader in the midst of things, you haven’t been there for long, so it’s not important.”

Qin Yue raised his head, his eyes were red.

He looked at Qin Xing, then at Shen Zhen.

But Qin Yue also knew that his uncle would never go back on what he said, he always meant what he said, and now it was meaningless for him to continue to explain himself, so Qin Yue could only sit there quietly and could not say anything.

If he said more, he would only be more unlucky.

Qin Li, who was still at home, didn’t know that a pie fell from the sky and suddenly hit him on the head.

It was indeed a pie from the sky.

All the way to the downstairs of the company building, there were no voices in the car. Shen Zhen leaned on the car seat, feeling refreshed. He thought he had no feelings for Qin Yue, but seeing Qin Yue deflated and met with misfortune, his mood was still very good.

Absolutely fantastic.

If gloating was the style of a villain, Shen Zhen hoped that he could always be a villain.

So long as there were such happy things for him to watch every day.

When going up the company building, Qin Yue habitually walked on Qin Xing’s left hand side, which was the successor’s spot, the second in line, Qin Yue had always been used to standing in that spot.

On the way to the company, Qin Yue had already steadied his emotions.

He knew that everything he said was wrong now, so he had to remain steady first, and then slowly figure things out.

Uncle had trained him for so many years, it was impossible for him to give up just like that, at most he was just trying to scare him.

Just when Qin Yue was thinking this, Qin Xing suddenly said without turning his head: “Xiao Zhen, come to me.”

Shen Zhen walked to Qin Xing’s right hand side.

Qin Xing said, “Go to the other side.”

Shen Zhen looked at Qin Yue, and Qin Yue also looked at Shen Zhen.

Shen Zhen didn’t retreat or speak, but walked to Qin Xing’s left.

Qin Yue could only walk to the right.

The moment Shen Zhen walked over, he suddenly felt a strange feeling, as if he had a higher status than Qin Yue now.

He was the one who was carefully cultivated by Qin Xing.

But this feeling was fleeting, and Shen Zhen knew that Qin Xing would not give up Qin Yue so easily.

Unless Qin Yue did something that touched Qin Xing’s bottom line.

Assistant Ma was waiting in the stairwell on the floor where the meeting was held, and when he saw Qin Xing coming, he hurried up to greet him: “Everyone is here, everyone is sitting inside.”

No one was late.

The meeting room was full of people. Qin Xing took off his coat, and handed it to Assistant Ma. Assistant Ma said to Shen Zhen and Qin Yue in a good manner: “The temperature in the company is relatively high, please give me your coats.”

Shen Zhen also took off his coat and handed it to Assistant Ma: “Thank you, Brother Ma.”

Qin Yue also thanked him when he handed it over.

Assistant Ma smiled and said, “Go in quickly.”

Shen Zhen entered the meeting room, and he sat in the corner, recording the meeting.

Many people noticed this young man who came in behind Qin Xing. He even took Qin Yue’s seat next to Qin Xing, which made everyone unable to ignore Shen Zhen.

After the meeting, Qin Xing was the first to leave the conference room, and of course Shen Zhen also followed.

Qin Yue didn’t move. Usually, after Qin Xing left, this was Qin Yue’s home field.

Everyone knew that Qin Yue was the next head of the Qin family, so they were naturally willing to seize every opportunity to curry favor with Qin Yue.

However, Shen Zhen still attracted a lot of attention just now.

Someone asked Qin Yue: “Who was that young man?”

Qin Yue: “His name is Shen Zhen. He is a child of the Shen family. He grew up with me.”

“Looks like Mr. Qin treats him very well. When you first came in, I was taken aback. I thought you had been replaced.” Someone joked.

Qin Yue’s expression was complicated and elusive. After a few seconds, he smiled and said: “Uncle only recently treated him like this.”

The person became interested, and he asked, “Could it be that the Shen family has done something?”

Qin Yue said: “That I can’t say.”

These people would immediately inquire about this matter after they go back. In order to flatter Qin Xing, they would definitely reach out to help the Shen family.

Since Uncle was so angry with him for helping the Su family, then it wouldn’t be much better if it was switched to the Shen family.

Qin Yue knew that his current thoughts were dangerous.

But he couldn’t restrain his malice.

He didn’t want Ah Zhen to be unlucky, he just hoped that Uncle would not favor one person over another.

He believed that even if Ah Zhen knew about it, he wouldn’t blame him.

Qin Yue also knew that no matter what he did, Ah Zhen would stand by him. Even if he got angry, he would stand by his side and support him in the end as before.

But Qin Yue couldn’t think of why Shen Zhen mentioned Qin Li just now, and let Qin Li replace him?

“By the way, how is your relationship with Shen Zhen?” A branch manager who had a good relationship with Qin Yue asked in a low voice, “Invite him over for dinner together? Let’s hang out together at night?”

Qin Yue: “He’s been following my uncle recently. I guess he doesn’t have time to go out. I’ve lost favor now.”

The man smiled: “Don’t joke anymore, as if here will be a time when you fall out of favor, Mr. Qin has taught you for so many years, even if you fell out of favor, it is only for a while. Besides, Shen Zhen’s surname is Shen, so even if Mr. Qin likes him, it is because of your sake. Mr. Qin would never let Shen Zhen take your place, so don’t think too much about it.”

Qin Yue said with a smile: “I didn’t say anything, I was just joking. Uncle is going to let Qin Li take over for me in T City.”

The face of the other party changed immediately: “This, why did this happen? What did Qin Li do? How did he do it?”

“Let’s not talk about this for now. I have something to do. We’ll talk about it next time we meet.” The other party smiled apologetically at Qin Yue, and then quickly left the meeting room. He had to check the matter out. If Qin Xing changed his thinking, he must make a response within this period of time.

No one took Qin Li seriously before.

This person was fastidious but incompetent, he had no ability, and he was arrogant.

But if Qin Xing wanted to lift him up to replace Qin Yue, then these shortcomings could be ignored.

Shen Zhen was also asking Qin Xing at this time: “Uncle, do you really want Second Brother to go to T City?”

He just said it casually at the time, without careful consideration.

Qin Xing had already returned to his office. He sat on his chair, smiled softly, and said to Shen Zhen, “Xiao Zhen, come to Uncle.”

Shen Zhen obediently walked over and stood next to Qin Xing. Qin Xing reached out and touched Shen Zhen’s earlobe, Shen Zhen’s ears reddened, and his tone softened involuntarily: “Uncle, you haven’t answered my question yet.”

Qin Xing: “What question?”

Shen Zhen: “It’s about Second Brother.”

Qin Xing: “Since Ah Yue can’t do well in that position, let Ah Li have a try.”

He had always been a good elder, he would train whoever had more potential.

But just like what he said to Qin Yue, he could let him go up, and he could also let him go down.

Shen Zhen: “Ah Yue must be feeling uncomfortable right now.”

Qin Xing said, “What about Xiao Zhen, does Xiao Zhen feel happy?” He seemed to see through what Shen Zhen was thinking.

Shen Zhen turned his head: “Uncle…..”

Qin Xing said: “Xiao Zhen, remember, with Uncle, you don’t need to pretend or be afraid, because no matter what you do, Uncle will support you.”

“If you do bad things, Uncle will cover it up for you; if you do good things, Uncle will sing praises of you.” Qin Xing smiled, sitting regally on his chair, but his eyes were filled with unresolved passion.

Shen Zhen was indeed a little moved, but soon returned to his senses.

He couldn’t believe that Qin Xing really had feelings for him. He was more willing to believe that Qin Xing’s sudden kindness to him was due to other reasons.

If Qin Xing fell in love with him just because of that night, it would be too fantastical.

There were so many one-night stands in this world, and yet you never see those people fall in love after one night.

Before finding out the reason, Shen Zhen was not willing to trust it.

But in all fairness, Qin Xing was indeed a very excellent man, and also a man full of charm.

Unlike Qin Yue, Qin Xing was like a cup of strong-flavored white wine. He was not that stimulating, but still seductive. Shen Zhen felt that anyone attracted to the male sex would not be able to resist Qin Xing’s charm.

Shen Zhen didn’t respond to Qin Xing’s words, as if once he said it, there was something that couldn’t go back to being what it was before.

It was just that Shen Zhen had yet to realize what it was exactly.

“Uncle.” Shen Zhen changed the subject: “If Ah Yue blames you for this…..”

Qin Xing smiled: “He does not dare to.”

Shen Zhen was stunned for a moment. That was true, Qin Xing didn’t care whether Qin Yue loved him or hated him. It didn’t matter at all, after all, Qin Xing was only sixteen years older than them, and he was only thirty-eight this year. He was still young, just in his prime, he still had decades to continue to dominate the business world.

“Baiyun Company…..” Qin Xing tapped the table with his fingertips, “Xiao Zhen, do you want it?”

Shen Zhen looked at Qin Xing in astonishment.

Qin Xing looked at Shen Zhen dotingly: “If Xiao Zhen likes it, Uncle will buy it and give it to you.”

Shen Zhen swallowed.

The Su family’s company, in his hands instead.

Even thinking about it made him feel good.

He was not as calm as he thought, but at this moment, he still loathed Su Shiqing and Qin Yue, and if this made them unhappy, and he could get benefits for himself at the same time, so why not do it?

Shen Zhen kneeled down obediently, and put his head on Qin Xing’s knee: “I like it, Uncle.”

Qin Xing put his hand on Shen Zhen’s head, stroked Shen Zhen’s hair gently, and said, “As long as it is what Xiao Zhen wants, Uncle will give it to Xiao Zhen.”

Shen Zhen closed his eyes slightly. At this moment, he felt very at ease, with a sense of security that he had never had before.

He always felt like he was walking under the scorching sun with no shelter, his mouth was parched, and it seemed that he would die of dehydration in the next second.

No one ever held up an umbrella for him, or handed him a glass of water, or even said to him, “Take a break.”

But now, Qin Xing suddenly acted as a protective umbrella for him.

Although he didn’t know what Qin Xing wanted, it made Shen Zhen feel very comfortable.

“Uncle.” Shen Zhen’s voice was muffled.

Qin Xing lowered his head, and the tip of his nose seemed to touch Shen Zhen’s ear.

There were only the two of them in the office.

There was a wordless, ambiguous undercurrent slowly flowing in the room.

Shen Zhen: “Will you suddenly dislike me someday?”

Qin Xing chuckled lowly, and the hot air sprayed on Shen Zhen’s ears. Qin Xing’s voice was hoarse and full of magnetism. He said, “What does Xiao Zhen think?”

Shen Zhen didn’t open his eyes, but his cheeks were flushed: “If one day, you don’t like me anymore, just tell me.”

He would leave quietly by himself.

He had always been in the dark, and at first sight of the light, he had begun to lose himself a little.

Qin Xing just laughed, but didn’t speak.

Any words were feeble.

Only what happened was strong proof, he didn’t need to use words to give Shen Zhen a sense of security.

Shen Zhen was still waiting for Qin Xing to reply to him.

After an unknown amount of time, Qin Xing said: “Okay, Uncle promises you, if there is such a day, Uncle will tell you.”

Satisfied, Shen Zhen stood up again and said to Qin Xing, “Then I’ll call Second Brother and let him know.”

Qin Xing knew what he was thinking, but he just smiled helplessly: “Go.”

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

For Qin Yue, the most important thing was the Qin family.

What if he couldn’t have the Qin family?

What would happen to Qin Yue? What would happen to Su Shiqing?

Shen Zhen looked at Qin Li’s name in the list of contacts and grinned.

After The Vicious Cannon Fodder Was Reborn CH 253 Shen Chen’s Plan & Celebration Of “Black And White”

2 Comments

The reason why Shen Chen asked Zhuo Yan to take Shen Yu to Shenzhen instead of Shanghai was because only Mrs. Shen and Shen Yan were in Shanghai. And these two women had a very high dislike for Shen Yu. In order to avoid complications, Shen Chen didn’t want these two sides to get together; and on the other hand, he was considering the relationship between Shen Yu and Yu Qingqing.

From Shen Chen’s point of view, it didn’t matter whether this pair of mother and son, Shen Yu and Yu Qingqing, have had contact before or not, after all, the link between mother and son could not be so easily disconnected. For the time being, Shen Chen didn’t want to investigate whether Yu Qingqing knew about Shen Yan’s switching of the children. Even if Yu Qingqing really didn’t know, she still cruelly abandoned her own flesh and blood. But it had been twenty years. As long as Yu Qingqing still had a little bit of shame and awareness as a mother, seeing Shen Yu at the age of 20, she should still have some emotions. Thinking about how her own son grew up in the Shen family, how much pamper and care he received before his birth background was exposed. And what happened to the real second son of the Shen family after he was abandoned in the rental house, and the question still be out about his survival.

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

These kinds of emotions didn’t need much, even if there was only a little bit of guilt, if used well, it might be an effective pawn in the acquisition of Aiqing Trading.

As for the filthy things that Zhuo Yan secretly pondered, of course Shen Chen didn’t know. Even if he knew, he probably wouldn’t care. With that time and energy, Shen Chen would rather think about how to use Shen Yu’s existence to persuade Yu Qingqing’s husband to agree to the acquisition. After all, judging from Yu Qingqing’s husband’s current actions and demands, this man still cared about Yu Qingqing very much. Therefore, he should also have two points of mercy and guilt towards Shen Yu.

Of course, it didn’t matter if he didn’t. In any case, business people did not rely on sympathy and charity. Yu Qingqing and her husband also gave birth to a son. Even if Shen Yu and the real Second Young Master Shen were not considered, the couple would definitely consider their own son’s future. It was now a foregone conclusion that Aiqing Trading would be acquired, sooner or later, it was only a matter of time and the amount of money invested.

If Yu Qingqing and her husband were smart, they would agree as soon as possible, take the money and leave, and their son would still be able to enjoy a well-off lifestyle the rest of his life. If they insisted on holding out until the end, Shen Chen was not helpless either. When Yu Qingqing’s husband was engaged in foreign trade, he used trade channels to do smuggling business. If this kind of black history was exposed, then Yu Qingqing’s husband would not just have to worry about the small question of whether or not to agree to the acquisition.

However, before this last step, Shen Chen didn’t want to tear up all pretences of cordiality with someone who was not very clean. He was no longer the 16-year-old boy who was too fierce and aggressive and desperately wanted to be recognized by the group. Towards many things now, Shen Chen hoped to be more tactful and gentle.

Not mentioning how Shen Chen calculated, in Beijing, the mainland remake of “Black and White” would be released on Valentine’s Day on February 14th. Because the previous publicity was very good, on the day of the premiere, the crew invited the most authoritative filmmakers and media people in the industry to come to watch the movie. After the premiere, discussions about the superiority and inferiority of the movie “Black and White” between the Hong Kong version and the mainland remake version have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.

Some people felt that the Hong Kong version was the most classic, and some people thought that the mainland remake version had all the acting skills online, and the filming was more sincere in many details. Of course, some film critics criticized the mainland version for having to give up part of the artistry and deeper connotations in order to meet the audit requirements of SARFT…..It was precisely because of these different opinions that it attracted more audiences to this film. So much so that on the day the remake of “Black and White” premiered in the mainland, the box office exceeded 60 million on the first day, almost equal to the total box office of “Black and White” in Hong Kong for one month. And a week after the movie was released, the box office directly broke 200 million yuan. Although it had not won against another Hollywood 3D blockbuster, and came only second at the box office. But the figure of 200 million box office still made the producers of “Black and White” so happy that they couldn’t close their mouths from smiling so much.

The total production cost of “Black and White” was less than 30 million yuan. It was released in Hong Kong for five weeks, breaking the box office record of Hong Kong in recent years, and finally raking in 80 million Hong Kong dollars which made sure the producers did not lose any money and even earned a bit. That was to say, after the remake of “Black and White” was released in the mainland, every penny earned was net profit after deducting the distributor’s share, various costs, handling fees and taxes.

The key point was that the mainland remake version of “Black and White” was not only a box office hit, but also had a very good reputation. Although in terms of conception, it was not as cruel and profound as Hong Kong’s version, which was full of fatalistic artistic connotations throughout. But the mainland version made up for the shortcoming involving acting skills in the cast after using Gu Yuzhang, a professional actor. Which was commonly known as the full cast’s acting being all online. Unlike the Hong Kong version, every time Yan Yux, played by Shen Yu, appeared on the screen, his appalling acting skills would always make the audience immediately pulled out from the plot.

Having said that, those gossip media with intentions immediately thought of the bankrupt, and even imprisonment of the senior members of the Hong Kong Lin family because of their sex scandals and serious allegations of raping minors. Due to the blocking order issued by SARFT, it was difficult for these media reporters to directly mention Shen Yu’s name. They had no choice but to use the Spring and Autumn brushwork (TN: full of hints and roundabout wording), first commenting emotionally in a vague way, so long as one had something to do with a certain someone, to be more precise, people who were in the same boat as him would not end well——for example, the Yao family in Shanghai, who was in cahoots with Shen Yu at the beginning, was still smeared everywhere on the Internet. And then there was CEO Tao of FlyNews always being slandered on the internet; another example was the Lin family in Hong Kong, who supported Shen Yu and vigorously pressured the organizers of the Golden Crow Award to award the Best Newcomer Award to Shen Yu, and also opposed CEO Tao everywhere. Even Lin Rong’an who didn’t forget to hire thugs even when fleeing with the money ended up reaping his own consequences…..

Huh? If you put it that way, it seemed that a certain someone had been hanging on to CEO Tao continuously since their debut, and then the two of them became each other’s foible. When one was smooth sailing the other would meet with misfortune.

Some gossip tabloids who just want gimmicks for sales immediately start irresponsible conspiracy theories involving so-called numerology, and also invited Feng Shui masters to say that a certain someone and Tao Mu’s birthdate characters were inconsistent, so the two were destined to repel each other.

However, this remark was immediately strongly criticized by the Ceramics. What Tao Mu’s fans hated the most was a certain someone who kept tying himself up with Tao Mu since he debuted. In the eyes of these fans, a certain someone couldn’t be compared with their Boss Tao in terms of aptitude and ability, and even if he desperately tried to tie himself to Boss Tao by relying on his fake young master background. He was like a piece of dogskin plaster for so many years, one that couldn’t be torn off no matter how it was torn. Now, after great difficulty, SARFT had issued a ban order, and major media were not allowed to mention a certain someone in their reports. Yet, these gossip media were still vaguely hinting indirectly and directly for sales, which was simply disgusting.

After being blocked by SARFT for so long, most of Shen Yu’s fans have already climbed the wall. The fan ecology of the entertainment industry was so forgetful. If an idol didn’t show up for three months, it was easy to be left behind. What was more, since Shen Yu’s debut two years ago, there were not many good works by him, instead all kinds of scandals and hype and black history continuously popped out. Not only did Tao Mu’s fans hate him, but Yan Sheng’s fans and most of the fans of the female stars Shen Yu had worked with didn’t like this person. In this state of everyone shouting and spitting at this guy, even if there were people who really liked Shen Yu, they were too embarrassed to jump out and speak for Shen Yu.

When other media saw that mentioning Shen Yu failed to attract the attention of netizens, and instead caused them to be constantly dissed by various fans, they gradually stopped tying Tao Mu and Shen Yu together. Then the conversation changed, and the different performances of the two actors of Yan Yu in the film were mentioned again.

“Black and White” was being released in the mainland, and many pirated DVDs of the Hong Kong version have flowed into the mainland. Fans who liked to watch movies couldn’t help but have a sneak peek. At this time, after watching the mainland remake, of course, they had a lot to say. After leaving the cinema, they expressed some thoughts on watching the movie, and very much agreed with the film critics that the Hong Kong version was more classic, complete and profound, but the mainland version had all the acting skills online, and the ending was more atmospheric and more in line with mainstream values.

Once again connecting to a certain actor who was not good at acting and still insisted on running the Best Newcomer Award, this comparison directly led to Gu Yuzhang, who was truly authentic and had online acting skills, immediately standing out and inexplicably becoming popular.

As the word-of-mouth evaluation of the mainland remake of “Black and White” was so good, even the box office was also rising as a result, breaking through 400 million box office in half a month.

Wealth moved people’s hearts. This time, even director Xu Musen, who was very stubborn about the audit requirements of SARFT, closed his mouth. Film art was important, but money was more valuable. Even the most artistic filmmakers have to eat. What was more, the film “Black and White” had nothing to do with art films at all in terms of subject matter, it was a commercial film with a gunfight theme. If a commercial film could make money, what kind of bike did you even need! (TN: what more can you ask for)

Looking at the box office data jumping at least tens of millions every day, Xu Musen was very happy, but also very grateful to Tao Mu for his help at that time. The entire production team of “Black and White” knew that if Tao Mu hadn’t mediated and played the leading producer role, the mainland version of “Black and White” would not have passed the review of SARFT so quickly, and it would have been impossible for it to be released in such a timely manner.

Although Tao Mu was the producer of the mainland remake version of “Black and White”, and also made a lot of money, the majority of the profits were still on the side of the Hong Kong production team. Of course, there were also several main actors who brought money into the crew. Including the Shen Group who didn’t deal with Tao Mu very much.

Equally happy was SARFT, this higher-level department that was often scolded and blamed by filmmakers. Although “Black and White” was a big hit at the mainland box office and had a good reputation, it was not directly related to the auditing department of SARFT. But for a long time, the behavior of all filmmakers throwing the pot on SARFT when the box office was not ideal had made SARFT’s image in the eyes of the public more and more embarrassing.

Now there was finally a good work that could even be said to surpass the original, not only selling at the box office, but most importantly the word of mouth as a whole even faintly surpassing the Hong Kong version. The SARFT gentlemen were absolutely proud. They even took the initiative to ask Tao Mu when he would hold a celebration party for the release of “Black and White” in the mainland.

Tao Mu heard this tactful inquiry and knew the meaning, immediately saying: “I originally wanted to hold a celebration party after it has finished releasing in the mainland. This way I can coordinate the schedule with all parties. But I didn’t expect “Black and White” to be so popular in the mainland. If we can advance the celebration, maybe it can even stimulate the box office.”

Then, he invited the leaders of SARFT to participate in the celebration. After all, the mainland version of “Black and White” was a great success, and the active participation of the leaders of SARFT also contributed to it. One must know that after the mainland version of “Black and White” was approved by SARFT, the SARFT leaders felt that the film was of good quality, and even took the initiative to help Tao Mu negotiate with the theater distributors to arrange the film slots.

Therefore, Tao Mu saying that the leaders of SARFT contributed a lot was not just a compliment.

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

This was what the SARFT leaders wanted. The old gentlemen and the old ladies were very temperamental, and they have always been reluctant to communicate with those Hong Kong filmmakers who always slander them for not understanding movies. But if the situation flipped and SARFT was victorious, that would be different.

There was nothing wrong at all with having a celebratory dinner together. After all, Tao Mu was such a smart, sensible and capable child, they were all just going for Tao Mu’s sake to support their child.

As if they wanted to go slap the faces of some artistic people who claim to know movies well!

“Shen Yu wants to see me?”

Tao Mu stayed at home until the fifth day of the New Year. After the fifth day, after eating the dumplings, the other actors from the cast of “Soldier Elite” returned to the army, and they did not forget to organize the company’s artists to the army for a New Year’s performance. As a result, just after the New Year’s performance ended, Tao Mu received a call from his Xiao Qi Dad. Apparently Shen Yu was actually guarding the door of FlyNews headquarters every day, just to see Tao Mu.

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

“What for?” As soon as Tao Mu heard the words “Shen Yu”, he felt a headache and had a physiological stomach ache. He couldn’t help but complain: “Xiao Qi Dad, don’t pay attention to him.”

“I don’t want to pay attention to him. But he is like a stone pestle at the entrance of FlyNews headquarters every day, and he won’t go away. The employees who come and go and the partners of other companies and departments can see it. If it wasn’t for the SARFT ban on him, I’m afraid the photos of him guarding the gate of FlyNews headquarters would have been posted on the Internet already.”

When Meng Qi mentioned this, he also felt a headache: “And his brainless fans, who knows where they got the news, also came to accompany him. Making it seem that there are demonstrations at the entrance of our company headquarters, and the impact is very bad.”

Tao Mu frowned in displeasure: “What the hell does he want?”

“He refused to communicate with me, he just said he wanted to see you.” If he wasn’t worried that Shen Yu’s continued nuisance would have a bad influence on FlyNews.com, Meng Qi wouldn’t bother to pay attention to this young man with a problem in his brain circuit.

Tao Mu’s chest felt a little tight. Involuntarily, he thought of the past life, after Shen Yu was kicked out of the Shen family by him, he also stood guarding the door of the Shen Group. He knew what Shen Yu was like, and to a certain extent, he would not give up until his goals were achieved. If Tao Mu didn’t show up, Shen Yu could really stand in front of FlyNews headquarters for half a year. But the key was that Tao Mu was truly not interested, nor had the time or energy to accompany Shen Yu to continue playing. He was too busy to even deal with his own serious business!

Putting down the phone, Tao Mu pondered for a moment, then called Shen Chen. Shen Chen and Shen Shiyuan were both in Shenzhen, busy acquiring the listed company of Yu Qingqing’s husband’s family. Speaking of which, Yu Qingqing’s husband was also really in love with Yu Qingqing. Not only did he change the company’s name to Aiqing Trading, but also the company’s legal person was listed with Yu Qingqing’s name. Before when Yu Qingqing was brought to court by Mrs. Shen for the crime of abandonment, Aiqing Trading was also implicated. Yu Qingqing’s husband managed to settle the turmoil caused by Yu Qingqing’s imprisonment. But before he could help Yu Qingqing run her medical parole, the Shen Group had already pounced over eagerly. On the one hand, they conspired with Shenzhen City Bank to cut off the loans of Aiqing Trading, and on the other hand, they instructed Zhuo Yan to snipe the shares of Aiqing Trading in the stock market. In addition, they even contacted other shareholders of Aiqing Trading several times and actively acquired other shareholders’ shares. As a result, Yu Qingqing’s husband was attacked by the enemy on all sides.

When Shen Chen received Tao Mu’s call, the Shen Group’s acquisition of Aiqing Trading was basically coming to an end. Yu Qingqing’s husband had already disarmed and surrendered, and the only request was to have the Shen family release Yu Qingqing and agree to Yu Qingqing’s medical parole.

However, Mrs. Shen deeply resented Yu Qingqing’s cruel act of abandoning her child, and was not willing to compromise on this matter at all. Chairman Shen also didn’t want to give the outside world the impression that even the hatred of murdering his own son could be easily bought. Only Shen Chen felt that one should leave a life line in everything, so it was easier to see each other in the future. But as said before, Shen Chen’s current position made it difficult for him to speak easily. So as not to leave a cold, ruthless eldest brother image to the Shen parents. Therefore, after thinking about it, he hesitated, and did not provide Shen Shiyuan and his wife with a more rational choice. As a result, both sides stagnated.

Tao Mu made this call to Shen Chen to remind Shen Chen not to forget that the two of them had a tacit agreement. Tao Mu would not covet the Shen family, and Shen Chen would also help Tao Mu to resist the troubles from the Shen family. Now Shen Yu was guarding the headquarters of FlyNews every day, which brought a lot of negative effects to the work and image of FlyNews.com. Tao Mu couldn’t communicate with Shen Yu, so he could only talk to Shen Yu’s backers.

“I understand.” Shen Chen squeezed the bridge of his nose and said tiredly, “I will call Shen Yu and ask him to leave Beijing as soon as possible. He will not trouble you in the future.”

As he spoke, Shen Chen suddenly smiled and couldn’t help but comment: “You and Mr. Li are indeed worthy of being the best partners, even behaving and doing things in the same way. Back then, when Shen Yu troubled Mr. Li because of the fans spreading rumors, Mr. Li also gave us a call and told the elders of the Shen family to educate Shen Yu well. Unfortunately, Shen Yu is not a true Shen family member. And there is also a real problem with the education of our Shen family. “

This topic was a little too personal. Tao Mu didn’t believe that with Shen Chen’s shrewd methods, he would not know that he was in a relationship with Li Xiaoheng. Tao Mu knew that the reason why Shen Chen said these words was just a habitual joke. He wanted to use this behavior to bring him closer to Tao Mu. If Tao Mu had a good opinion of him, or if he recognized Shen Chen as a relative from the bottom of his heart, he would even have the illusion that the two of them had a good relationship because of this remark. Even if Tao Mu had a so-so impression of him, when he heard such words, he would only feel that Shen Chen was apologizing to Tao Mu for the problem of the Shen family’s education. Of course, this was also mixed with the emotion that Shen Chen felt that his “elder brother duties” were difficult.

With just such an offhand remark, Shen Chen could hit several birds with one stone. It was a pity that Tao Mu was no longer the orphan in his previous life who would fall for this and be grateful after just a few words of charity. Shen Chen’s goodwill was destined to be thrown to a blind and deaf man.

Noticing Tao Mu’s silence, Shen Chen didn’t mind either. Before Tao Mu hung up the phone, he couldn’t help complaining to Tao Mu: “The acquisition project here in Shenzhen is a little troublesome…..I can understand my mother’s hatred for Yu Qingqing. In her opinion, the real Shen child was abandoned while just an infant, and must definitely have met with misfortune. As a mother, she wants to avenge her child and wants the murderer to get the end she deserves, which is understandable.”

Shen Chen was just worried that if the Shen family were so aggressive, Yu Qingqing’s husband, who had hit all dead ends, would be forced to jump over the wall: “And that Zhuo Yan, he has done a lot of things recently. He actually secretly met Yu Qingqing’s husband a few times. Don’t know what they were talking about.”

“Fortunately, the project of acquiring Aiqing Trading is coming to an end, and there is no need to continue to spend energy on the stock market. It just so happens that you have asked me to deal with Shen Yu, how about I have Zhuo Yan go to Beijing to pick him up?”

Speaking of which, Shen Chen had suspected that Tao Mu had something to do with Zhuo Yan before. However, he carefully observed for more than half a year and found that the two had no communication at all except for the two meetings in Hong Kong. Shen Chen had always been a thoughtful and meticulous person. Since he didn’t find anything tricky, he felt compelled to apologize to Tao Mu. In other words, no matter whether Shen Chen’s heart was completely cleared of doubts, at least in the absence of conclusive evidence, Shen Chen was still willing to show his goodwill to Tao Mu, and express his trust and magnanimity.

However, when Tao Mu heard Shen Chen’s words, he couldn’t help but startle. He thought of Zhuo Yan, who inexplicably hooked up with Shen Yu in the previous life, and Zhuo Yan’s betrayal of him. And also in this life, what Shen Chen told him about Zhuo Yan’s life experience.

Tao Mu felt a little uneasy in his heart, and he inevitably added: “Isn’t Zhuo Yan Shen Yan’s boyfriend? Isn’t it not good for you to let him contact Shen Yu too much?”

“You are worrying too much.” Shen Chen chuckled lightly: “One is the daughter of the Shen family, and the other is the adopted son who is not related by blood. With Zhuo Yan’s shrewdness, he will know how to choose the right one.”

Not necessarily. Tao Mu frowned slightly, and heard Shen Chen suddenly say with emotion, “Are you caring about Yan Yan just now?”

Tao Mu was stunned when he heard the words: “What?”

“The old saying goes that blood is thicker than water——”

Before Shen Chen could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Tao Mu: “This is the end of the conversation, Mr. Shen can arrange things yourself.”

Hearing the beeping tone from the receiver, Shen Chen raised his eyebrows expressionlessly. The next second, he called Zhuo Yan: “Go to Beijing. Bring Shen Yu to Shenzhen.”

“Shen Yu?” Zhuo Yan was instantly surprised. He probably didn’t expect that Shen Chen would call him specifically for such a trivial matter.

“That’s right.” Shen Chen explained: “You can set off now and book the nearest flight. Pick him up tonight.”

After hanging up the phone, Zhuo Yan stared at the phone with a confused expression. For a long time, he thought that the Shen family didn’t care about Shen Yu, the adopted son. Especially after Mrs. Shen drove Shen Yu out of the Shen family, and the Shen family took away all the property under Shen Yu’s name, Zhuo Yan felt that Shen Yu was of little use now. Not to mention that some time ago, because of the trouble Shen Yu caused, the Shen family even sent him far away to Hong Kong. Later, when Shen Yu was accused and detained for stealing Tao Mu’s hair for DNA identification, the Shen family did not come forward to bail Shen Yu out. In Zhuo Yan’s eyes, these actions simply meant that while the Shen family might not have given up Shen Yu completely, at least they did not take this child to heart.

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

But now it seemed that, no matter what the rest of the Shen family thought, Shen Chen was able to take his attention away during such a tense time for the acquisition, and even arranged for him to go to Beijing to pick up Shen Yu. This move at least showed that Shen Chen cared about Shen Yu.

Shen Yu’s delicate and elf-like facial features flashed in front of Zhuo Yan’s eyes. He thought of those admirers who were always attracted to Shen Yu involuntarily, and then thought of how Shen Chen and Shen Yu were not related by blood…..

Zhuo Yan, who felt he had caught a glimpse of some secret, suddenly came to a realization, and let out a curious laugh.
