Chapter 103



An awkward silence fell over the car.

Being stared at by Shen Cheng's dark and deep eyes for a moment, Jian Shiwu's heart actually has an inexplicable sense of guilt, just like the kind of guilty conscience when an adulterer is caught by his wife .

Shen Cheng’s lips opened: "Wang Gongzi?"

Jian Shiwu's eyes darted around, "You don’t think too much about it..."

Shen Cheng leaned over the soft backseat, Jian Shiwu was leaning against the window and couldn't retreat, Shen Cheng's arms wrapped around his waist, lowering his voice: "Boss Zhang?"

Jian Shiwu couldn't help laughing and crying: "Why do you remember so clearly.”

The man holding him down didn't say a word, his face was sombre, his head half buried in Jian’s shoulder, the two men's breaths intertwined, unable to see each other's expressions, a somewhat alarming silence in the car.

Was he angry?

Jian was not sure, and was just about to speak when the man's low voice came to her ear: "I'm sorry."

What?

Jian’s eyes widened. For a moment he even wondered if he had heard wrong.

He heard the man's voice with a faint sigh: "These past few years have been hard work."

Jian Shiwu’s eyes moved slightly, and the tip of heart burned.

In those years apart, he began to learn to grow up on his own, somewhat awkwardly learning how to be his own person. The years sharpened the uneven edges, and in many, hard-to-sleep, bitter nights, the things he couldn't talk about became the building blocks of growth, allowing him to transform from a teenager step by step.

When a child falls, if no one cares, he gets up and pats the dust on his own, but if someone rushes in and whispers a gentle, worried word of comfort, the fortress of pretended strength will collapse in a flash.

"It's not been hard." Jian Shiwu took a light breath, and he gently wrapped his arms around Shen Cheng, his fingertips trembled, and his voice was stern: "I know it's not been easy for you those years too."

The afterglow of dusk spilled into the car, with a little warmth.

Shen Cheng patted his back in small increments, as if coaxing a child: "Aren’t you angry at me?"

"I an." Jian Shiwu had been used to being a little bolder recently, and muttered: "You didn't reply to my messages, yet I sent you a lot." It was obviously a complaint, but the voice was soft, and it made people want to bully.

Shen Cheng hooked his lips, "It’s my fault, so I’ll send you messages, and you don’t have to reply, to give you closure?"

"......"

The person who had been so angry just now wilted again at the suggestion.

"Forget it." Jian curled his his lips, he was reluctant to say, "I will reply back."

He is so good. Good enough to make him want to lock him up so that no one else could see and covet him.

However Jian Shiwu didn't notice the man's thoughts and said to himself, "But you’re not allowed to treat me like this in the future, I’ll send you a message and when you see it and you’ll have to answer back. If I call you, you’ll answer in time, no ignoring me, if you bully me again ...... "

Shen Cheng said in response to his words, "Then what?"

Jian Shiwu tilted his face up and said with a huff, "I’ll break up with you."

Oh no.

The moment the words were spoken without thought, Jian knew it was going to suffer. And sure enough, when he had just opened his lips to remedy the situation, he was forced to accept a punishing kiss, and when it ended, he raised his eyes with a red face and met the man having a gloomy face. The temperature around him seemed to have dropped by a degree, and Shen Cheng's voice was low: "What, break up so you can go to your Wang Gongzi?"

"......"

Jian Shiwu was shocked, he wanted to retort but couldn't help but laugh out loud, after all it was another day of Shen Cheng being accidentally cute!



The next day



Today was when the recording of "Go Workers! resumed recording.

In the early morning, there were quite a few people gathered underneath the company, but they were all expelled by the security guards, after all, the employees of the company still had to go to work normally, and someone blocking the way would also cause a certain impact on the traffic of other employees.

Early in the morning, the director announced the scores of each person in the past few days.

Jinzhe: 1379 points

Sun Liman: 1180 points

Su Yuluo: 1560 points

Jian Shiwu: 710 points

Because everyone else continued to work while he was on leave, they all achieved a lot of points for completing their tasks. Originally Jian had only 500 points, but because he not only completed his work successfully while in the west of the city, but also helped a save the scene on the fly, he was given an exception of 200 points.

At this point the director began to announce the scores for the online popularity boosters list again.

Jian Shiwu: 126789 points

Su Yuluo: 21568 points

Sun Liman: 46987 points

Jin Zhe: 31,167 points

Although he had the lowest score in the workplace, Jian Shiwu's popularity score was like a wild horse that has gone off the rails and soared, while Su Yuluo, who had the highest score in the internship workplace, actually had the lowest popularity ranking, which was a bit baffling.

Sun Liman smiled at Jian Shiwu and intimately came over to take his arm: "Shiwu is now a big star."

Jian Shiwu cried and laughed: "Don't make fun of me."

Jin Zhe pulled Sun Liman next to him, "We’re still live, aren’t you ashamed of yourself?"

Sun Liman made a face at him, a group of people laughing and joking, only the usually calm Su Yuluo said to Jian Shiwu: "You’re still working in the project team, I have a case in my hand, this time we should be in the same department, since you were not here, where you discomfort, I will help you."

What a practical and reliable brother!

Jian Shiwu was grateful: "Thank you, Brother Yu."

Su Yuluo smiled, "You're welcome."

The director then said a few more words in accordance with the usual practice, and they dispersed back to work. Jian Shiwu and Su Yuluo were on the same floor, so the two people walked together. On the way, Jian Shiwu hesitated a few times and Su Yuluo noticed.

Su Yuluo looked at him sideways and said, "Are you curious as to why I scored so low?"

"Nope!"

It was only after being poked in the heart that Jian Shiwu was embarrassed to admit, "I just thought it was... strange."

And there were cameras rolling, big brother, you’re really daring to say it outright!

But Su Yuluo didn't think anything of it, he said bluntly, "Because everyone else posts online and interacts with their fans and stuff, I don't have a social account and I don't usually interact."

Jian Shiwu was shocked: "Then you’re ......"

"My contract with my company expires this year, after that there’s no team." Su Yuluo half-jokingly said, "Maybe it would be nice to actually find a place at Ji's."

After all, in the country, Ji is really considered a very top existence among state-owned enterprises, and people who can work there have to raise their voices a few decibels before they can show their temperament, and an annual salary of a million is a normal thing.

Jian Shiwu smiled: "Brother Yu you’re good at business, I believe you’ll be able to."

Su Yuluo said, "You’re popular and believe in yourself."

Jian Shiwu didn’t say anything. He still wanted to work in the entertainment industry, although there was nothing wrong with working at Ji's, but if his relationship with Shen Cheng was exposed in the future, then if everyone around him thought he was a connected person or something, it would be impossible to live this life.

When they arrived at the floor, Su Yuluo took him back to his workstation. On his first day back at work, Jian Shiwu was warmly received by the other colleagues.

"Shiwu, ah, finally I see you."

"Zuoqiu Qundao was so beautiful."

"My son just especially likes you."

"Aiyo, several of my classmates' avatars have changed to you."

Jian Shiwu was somewhat caught off guard by the sudden enthusiasm, but they all carried their work and private lives well, no one gave him extra business points for these haloes. After the hilarity was over they all resumed their normal work, and when they had all met up again, they had to go to meet with their instructors. He had to go to Gu Duan to get a job, and incidentally report back that he had returned.

In the middle of summer, Gu Duan’s fire was still very strong. Jian Shiwu pushed the door in just as a ball of paper was thrown to the floor, the man with the pencil drawing looked up at him before looking down again and continuing to draw. Jian Shiwu didn't bother him, quietly cleaning up, filing what should be filed, watering the succulent that was dying in the sun, throwing it into a cup of water to one side before saying, "What job am I getting today? "

Gu Duan was disturbed by the painting, swept his head up, a little disgusted: "What can you do?"

Jian Shiwu wasn't annoyed: "All can, what I don't know I can learn."

"Then you’re talking shit!" Gu Duan didn't bother to pay attention to him and continued to draw the diagram.

Jian Shiwu stole a glance and found that this time the product design was actually a bit on the antique side of the drawing, he looked at it for a while, then when Gu Duan was about to throw another one in, he spoke softly: "It would be better to add a mink hat here. I have seen a copy of "Cold River Map" in my grandfather's study before. In order to express that meaning, here is..."

At first, Gu Duan was impatient, but later he let Jian Shiwu go on.

Finally, after discovering that Jian Shiwu had some literary foundations, Gu Duan would also chatted with Jian Shiwu for a while, and finally handed over the preparation of documents other than translation to him.

When Jian Shiwu returned to his workstation, he heard many people talking about the personnel transfer in several departments of the company.

"The new one, Tia, is from M."

"No wonder, she didn't even say hello when she came in today."

"It can't be helped."

Jian Shiwu couldn't quite understand, it just so happened that Su Yuluo also had to go to the pantry, so they went together. Two people picked up the water and then went to the bathroom. On the way back, because there was no cameraman following them to the bathroom, Jian Shiwu and Su Yuluo casually advanced the topic of today's colleagues talk, but he didn't expect that Su Yuluo knew more than he did.

Su Yuluo said, "This is normal, you know Donald, right."

Jian Shiwu froze, the name was both unfamiliar and familiar, although he haf no contact with him but it gave him goose bumps. He nodded stiffly and said, "I've heard of him."

"Ji is divided into two party factions, one is the original party embracing the Ji family, there is also the Tang Party, they are all people under the hand of Donald, to speak of proportions, they are basically evenly matched. Among them, in the case of the Tang Party, there are basically more people of M nationality. But in fact, on weekdays, the employees of the two parties will also have a bit of disagreement, but everyone works in Ji's, except for party issues, they will usually work and get along normally, and you don't have to worry about it."

Jian Shiwu did not know that this layer existed until now.

But he thought of one thing: "Then we are in China now, do we have people from the Tang Party?"

"Yes, I'm just saying that most of them, I'm not saying that people from the Tang Party are necessarily of M nationality, there are also Chinese people who are Donaldites, it depends on which faction those shareholders who support Donald are, just count on any of your colleagues around you being from the Tang Party."

Jian Shiwu was a bit scared to hear that, but he still said: "It's scary, but I've only been here for a short time, and I've only worked in the project team, I don't know many of the other employees. There's no chance of getting in touch."

Su Yuluo gave him a meaningful glance and hooked his lips in a smile, "You’ve been in contact with him since the first day you’ve been here, haven’t you had a good relationship, I thought you’d have already known about it."

Jian Shiwu froze.

Su Yuluo smiled at him and didn't say anything.

Jian Shiwu, however, felt his blood freeze, and he stood still, looking at Su Yuluo, somewhat stiff. With an answer and an outcome in his mind, he had some fear when speaking out: "You are saying ......"
