Chapter 92:

Zhen Mei was dumbfounded. In fact, from childhood, Jian Shiwu would not cry like this in front of her because of injuries, the last time in her memory seemed to be when he participated in a little sports meeting, at that time he fell on the track, the little child could not bear the pain and cried like a mess. In her memory he would only cry like this if he was in great pain.

And then, now, after all these years, she saw the child with tears in his eyes again, what was the pain of this wound that made him cry like that?

Zhen Meili hugged the child distressingly: "What's the matter, don't cry, don't cry, it won't hurt in a while."

Jian Shiwu took a look at Shen Cheng through his tears and then turned his face away in disgust, and continue to shed tears at Zhen Mei, just like a young wife who has been wronged at the in-laws.

Zhen Meili looked at Shen Cheng, and had to ask someone that was not bawling: "Shen Cheng, what's the matter?"

"......"

The man who was always a good strategist, a man who wouldn’t make a sound at the collapse of Mountain Taishan, fell into a strange silence.

It was hard to say.

He couldn't say to his future mother-in-law that he had made him cry because he was jealous.

No matter what, he couldn’t say this.

Jian Shiwu tugged at Zhen Meili's sleeve, his voice a bit sullen: "Mom, let's go home."

"Okay." Zhen Meili agreed without hesitation. She looked at the expensive floor with blood stains, and she felt distressed: "When the doctor is here, let’s wrap it up first and then go back, be obedient."

Jian Shiwu also knew what was important, so he nodded his head.

Zhen Meili said again, "Shen Cheng, you come and help Jian Shiwu, and I'll get a tissue."

It was strange, but the man who was usually so smart was frozen in place because Jian Shiwu was crying, that he even forgot to get some paper.

Shen Cheng nodded, his voice mute: "Okay."

He wanted to hold Jian Shiwu, but Jane Shiwu was crying and angry. Seeing Shen Cheng wanted to pull his hands, he gently shrugged off. Anyway, this dog man was fierce at him, he does not want his support.

Shen Cheng who was shrugged off had a gloomy face, he couldn't stand being rejected by Jian Shiwu.

He couldn’t stand it at all, it aroused the anger in his heart, he wanted to pull Jian Shiwu over, he wantsled to encircle him within his own range, so that he can no longer refuse himself, so that he can no longer. So that he can't say anything to refuse, he can only call his name.

Shen Cheng's eyes were dark, and the air pressure around him was very low, and at first glance it looked very appalling, and if it were the usual case Jian Shiwu would probably have gone nuts, but today he was so busy wiping his tears that he didn't realize the seriousness of the situation and simply ignored it.

The doctor came over with the medical kit and said, "Mr. Jian, let me take a look at you."

As the doctor had to stretch his hands to work on the wound, he also said, somewhat apologetically, to Shen Cheng who was staying by the side, "Young master, please wait a little by the side."

Shen Cheng didn't touch the aggrieved, instead he was pushed out, he glanced at Jian Shi Wu, suppressing the darkness in his heart, and nodded his head.

Zhen Meimei came back and wiped Jian Shiwu's face gently.

The doctor dealt with the wound very quickly, gauze and the bandage were wrapped very well. After getting it done he even prescribed anti-inflammatory drugs, and instructed Zhen Mei Mei to take Jian Shiwu to the hospital for a change in the dressings later.

Zhen Meili listened.

The two of them had to leave early because of Jian Shiwu’s emotional problems, even though the reception outside was not over. Before leaving, Zhen Meili wanted to leave some personal space for the two to say goodbye and talk: "Jian, then you can wait here for a while, Mommy will go wrap up things and drive..."

Jian Shiwu immediately answered, "I don't want to stay here, I'm going too."

"......"

Zhen Mei Li glared at him.

Shen Cheng sitted on the sofa by the window of the room, lifted his eyes to look at Jian Shiwu. If the group of people in the company saw the president in this gloomy position, they would have already raised had hearts to their throats and their legs soft from fear.

But Jian Shiwu was not scared, those eyes can no longer scare him, his heart was already broken like that bottle of wine!

......

The door was opened and closed again.

The room was instantly empty, and as the sounds of the outside were isolated, the man sitting in the room was motionless, and there was a faint smell of blood in the room, his face grim.

When the door to the room was knocked on again, Xie Feng found the room full of the smell of smoke, Shen Cheng sitting against the sofa, his suit jacket thrown to one side, his slender legs folded, a half-burned cigarette in his fingers, sexy and cold.

Xie Feng shivered in fear as he met the man's gaze.

"I remember..."

Shen Cheng flicked the ashes of his cigarette: "I told you, no coming to my room."

Xie Feng hurriedly, "Big brother, I’m sorry!”

The teenager standing in the doorway was frightened as if he wanted to find somewhere to hide his entire body immediately, he didn't dare to take half a step into the room, because he knew that although Shen Cheng didn't usually show his rejection of him, if he really crossed the line himself, he would definitely be punished.

"I, I wanted to come to apologise." Xie Feng held back his fear and said, "I'm sorry for giving you and brother Jian trouble, and for having brother Jian injured, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"

Shen Cheng looked at him with a gaze that had no waves.

Xie Feng knew he had to apologise, because the way Shen Cheng had looked at him at the dinner party was not good, he was definitely angry. And if he didn't come to apologise now, in the future his days would not be easy.

"It's my fault." Xie Feng's small face was white as white: "I'll go and apologize to brother Jane personally afterwards, I..."

Shen Cheng opened his lips, "That's enough."

Xie Feng looked up at him.

The man looked at him with the an icy gaze, "Don't let me see you pestering him."

There was a moment when Xie Feng actually felt hostility in the man's body, which was strange, he actually had obvious hostility towards someone as uncompetitive as him? At this moment Xie Feng's heart was complicated, he realised that even someone as good as Shen Cheng would have no confidence, would also suffer for love?

He wanted to laugh, because it turned out that Shen Cheng was also a mortal, he would also smoke, he would also get angry, he would also be powerless, but when Xie Feng looked up again. But what he saw was still the cold, so steady Shen Cheng who would not be easily disturbed by the factors of the outside world. He sat there, high above, he was a mortal for Jian Shi Wu, but was still the god among others.

Xie Feng pulled his lips, revealing a self-deprecating smile as he bowed his head and said in a somewhat humble manner, "Understood, I will remember big brother's words, then, then I will go out first."

"Wait."

Xie Feng froze and couldn't help but turn back with some hope, did Shen Cheng also have words of comfort to say to hims?

Shen Cheng put out his cigarette in the ashtray and looked at him with raised eyebrows, "At your age, do you usually...have anything you like?"

!

Xie Feng's body trembled!

He didn't expect it to be true, that his big brother would give him something!

The fear under Xie Feng's eyes gradually faded away, slowing down before he replied in a soft voice: “I don't have any special hobbies. Basically, I like everything, it's fine."

Shen Cheng frowned, the man thought about it, he opened his mouth, "Be specific."

Xie Feng hesitated for a moment, finally deciding to take this opportunity to say what he had always wanted: "Then...that would be the latest vr gaming pod."

He had been sick for a long time and wasn't really able to go far, so he really wanted the gaming pod, but there was a limited number of this product developed by Ji and it would sell out in seconds every time it was put on the market, and on the second-hand market it was sky high, so it could be said that it was very rare.

Shen Cheng thought for a moment and nodded: "Okay, you go out."

A game pod?

Well, it was indeed nice, I wonder if Jian Shiwu would like it enough to take the heat off.

Xie Feng, on the other hand, did not notice the man's trance, he was excited, smiling, "Okay, thanks big brother, I'm going out!"

Shen Cheng raised his eyebrows, looking at the somewhat jumpy teenager, frowned slightly, strange, he just wanted an opinion, what was he so happy to about?

......

The next day



Jian Shiwu was back at work.

Although his arm was injured, it did not affect the normal work. His colleagues were also quite concerned about him. But the workload was not very heavy. Today was the day to get assigned to leaders/teachers and the four interns wee quite excited.

When the instructors appeared, aside from Jian Shiwu, the others were quite happy.

Ms. Lu in the front said, "These four for the rest of your two months, will be your instructors. Because of your outstanding performance this month, the bosses of each department had their own interns they want to lead and also have their own ideas.

Jian Shiwu prayed inwardly when he saw Gu Duan: He can't see me, he can't see me...

No sooner had the thought ended than an unceremonious voice was heard: "Jian Shiwu!"

The others looked over with a swish.

Ms Lu smiled, "Well, it seems that our Master Duan has chosen Shiwu as his lead trainee, let's congratulate him!"

The crowd clamoured and applauded.

Gu Duan looked at him and gestured, "Why haven’t you come yet."

Jian Shiwu sighed inwardly, walked towards him with a resigned step, and finally stood beside Gu Duan. As soon as he arrived, he saw Gu Duan bow his head, his face was very upset: " Do you know how many people want to be my intern, why do you look reluctant?"

"......"

I'm going to be at your beck and call for the next two months, I'm really hardly happy.

Jian Shiwu gave a radiant smile, "I am."

Raising his arm and making a fist in a cheering gesture, his voice was clear and animated, "I’m actually quite happy!"

Gu Duan originally wanted to take offence, but when he met Jian’s smiling eyes, he couldn't say the words to pick a fight, so in the end, he could only raise his head proudly and hum lightly, "That's more like it!"

The audience in the live stream was very happy:

"Hahaha, Jian is really miserable.”

"Hahahaha, Jian Shiwu really has unhappy but have to smile written all over his face."

"I sympathize with him."

"Hahahaha, but Master Duan is really fragrant."

"Haha I’m here for the arrogant red haired man too!"

"This CP is too good to knock down."

The four interns were all assigned to an instructof, and in the next two months, they were to be tested not only on their business internal strength, but also on their personal qualities, accomplishments and personalities to see, in the end who was more in line with being the face of Ji.

Jian Shiwu was to go to the project team for an internship, he thought he would get some big project, make a big accomplishment and become a proud member of the Ji family, who knew that just sitting at the workstation before his butt was warm on the seat, he was called for to the office.

Gu Duan sat in his chair with his legs crossed like a grandpa: "There is a publicity meeting on the west side of the city . I will go over in the afternoon to check the number of equipment they have present, and whether the equipment can operate normally, tomorrow. The meeting is a few days later, you are responsible for keeping an eye on it.”

Jane: "Huh?"

This isn't what I thought it would be!

Gu Duan glared at him, "What are you doing, not happy to go?"

"No." Jian Shiwu meekly and coquettishly muttered, "It's just a bit of a surprise.”

Gu Duan sneered: "Surprise?What's the matter, in this whole project team only you have nothing to do, who do you think should do it?"

"......"

Jian choked.

He was so angry he almost turned his back, but couldn’t retort, so he forced out a smile, "My pleasure."

Gu Duan waved a big hand, "Go ahead if you know."

The viewers in the live room just laughed.

"Absolutely, killing the heart."

"Straight men are the most deadly."

"I always feel like Master Duan will definitely regret later."

When Jian Shiwu and the cameraman left, Gu Duan's secretary came in, carrying coffee and said, "You were obviously worried that his arm injury couldn't withstand the intense work, and you were afraid that others would say that he was being taken care of in a special way, so you sent him to the west side of the city, so why the tough talk and the anger?"

In the west side of the city, the work of doing statistics is not really tiring. It was all in the big pavilion, there was air conditioning that didn't heat people up, there would be staff on site to help with the statistics, he could just be a supervisor, and he could take a break whenever he wanted, very suitable for recuperation.

This man was worried about Jian Shiwu and had him specially transferred over, but his mouth is so indebted again.

Gu Duan took a sip of his coffee and his tone was unkind: "Who is worried about him? What's so good about that little brat, why should I be worried about him?!"

"......"

The secretary choked.

She smiled meaningfully and decided not to argue, he was young anyway and had plenty of time to regret.



Lunch break



When Jian Shiwu was about to go to lunch, he was called by Secretary Wang. A secretary who was usually so high up in the company that even the executives of the various departments had to be courteous when they saw him, but he was very respectful in front of Jian Shiwu.

Mr. Wang smiled and said, "Mr. Jian, are you ready to go to eat?"

Jian Shiwu said, "Yes ah, hasn't Secretary Wang eaten yet?"

"No, no!"

Secretary Wang said in his heart. President Shen Cheng's air pressure has been low all morning, just like a living hell king, several projects sent to him have been criticized, the people under his command are complaining, such a torment, where can he have time to eat the food ah!

Jian Shiwu smiled and said, "Then I'll go down for food."

Secretary Wang hurriedly said, "Wait!"

Under Jian Shiwu's somewhat shocked gaze, Secretary Wang actually took out a gift box from the back and handed it to him, "This, the company knows you've been injured, so they're giving you a condolence gift, take it."

?

This big black and gold gift box, the switch button on it even looked like it was gold plated, was the company so generous with their condolences?

Jian Shiwu had to take it obediently, flattered: "That... its actually not serious, this looks so expensive, I can't take it, you'd better..."

Secretary Wang looked like he was afraid he wouldn't want it: "It's not expensive, it's just an ordinary condolence gift!"

In front of the cameraman, all the scenes have to be done well Secretary Wang emphasized the word ordinary. The person giving the gift disn’t want the other party to know something was expensive. he was miserable, he could only desperately describe it as ordinary.

Secretary Wang gently pushed his glasses, coughed lightly and said, "Just accept it, it's a kind of commendation for your spirit of going to work with illness.”

Jian Shiwu was embarrassed for a moment, not good enough to spoil the fun in front of the audience, and could only say, "Okay, thank you and the company."

The viewers in the live broadcast room.

"Wow, this benefit of Ji's is absolutely amazing!"

"I'm envious, really envious."

"This black and gold gift box looks so familiar to me."

"Yes yes, déjà vu oh ......"

During his lunch break he applied for private time to go to the hospital for a change of medication, still holding the square gift box, the item was a bit heavy and looked worth a lot of money. although Secretary Wang was full of talk, but Jian Shiwu knew that it was given by Shen Cheng.

When he went home yesterday, Shen Cheng had called him a lot and sent messages by WeChat, only at that time he was a bit angry and didn't return.

Today, after he woke up and got his mind right, he felt that maybe he was too emotional, he felt that Shen Cheng was being mean over Xie Feng, but maybe it had nothing to do with Xie Feng, he was just too anxious and worried about him.

Lui Heng came to pick him up: "To the nearest hospital?"

Jian Shiwu: "Yes!"

Qiao An drove the car and he said, "Shiwu ah, I heard you were injured yesterday, how is it, is it serious, you left so fast we didn't have time to see you."

"It's okay, it's not a serious injury." Jian Shiwu was glad he had this group of friends and smiled, "A few more trips to the hospital to change the gauze and I’ll be fine."

Lui Heng said, "That's fine, just in time to change it, afterwards we'll go for lunch!"

Lui Heng looked like he was in good spirits recently and...why had he driven over with Qiao An? When had these two become so familiar? And this car, it wasn't their company's little shitty nanny car, it was Qiao An's Bentley.

Jian Shiwu poked Lui Heng next to him and lowered his voice: "What's this situation?"

Lui Heng was a little puzzled at first, and his eyes started to dodge Jian’s gossipy gaze: "Wha..wha... what situation."

"Still pretending!"

Lui Heng coughed lightly and pointed to the gift box in his hand, "What's this about you?"

This time it was Jian’s turn to be a bit guilty, covering up: "It's just a sympathy gift from the company, what else could it be?"

Lui Heng said, "Really, what kind of condolence is so high-class, open it and see."

Jian was curious too.

He opened the black and gold gift box, which was indeed very high class, a gold clasp with the imposing word Ji printed on it. The method of opening it was also very tricky, when the verification code on the box was entered, the whole box activated, a blue glow flowed up through the body and the top lid slowly, automatically slashing open to reveal the very beautiful spectacle style helmet inside.

"No way!" exclaimed Lui Heng : "It's a limited edition black-2 gold version of OF!"

Jian Shiwu was blank: "What’s that?"

Qiao An also saw it in the rearview mirror, and he smiled and cursed low: "Shen Cheng really loves you, he couldn't get me one before no matter how much I begged."

Jane Shiwu didn't quite understand this.

Lui Heng was pragmatic enough to say, "Do you know how much it costs to get a mid-range small Vr helmet in the second-hand market now?"

"How much?"

"2.7 million."

Qiao An added from the front, "There is the mid-range version, there are also high-range, and top-range, all at different prices, and of course, the one you're holding can't be bought even if you bid, that's a limited edition console designed by Shen Cheng, the system and functions implanted inside are different from other other versions."

Jian Shiwu probably understood that this item was very expensive, he usually played games occasionally in his spare time, although not enthusiastically, but anyone would be happy when they received this kind of very thoughtful gift, especially doubly happy if this person was their beloved.

Yesterday he was thinking of never talking to Shen Cheng again, but this time he already has the titillating thought of meeting him.

Lui Heng said, "There's a card."

When Jian Shiwu took the card, it was a black paper card with the familiar font, it had Shen Cheng's somewhat sharp handwriting on it.

A gadget for recreation and entertainment, to be played with in your spare time. Have fun.



The handwriting on the line below was still as harsh as ever, but it was as if you could see the owner's tenderness beneath it, as if you could feel the owner's helplessness and doting through the line, long ago Jian knew that Shen Cheng's handwriting was very nice, he even felt that it was the perfect handwriting for signing business documents, and now, that handwriting was used to write an apology card.

It was quite incongruous, but the corners of Jian Shiwu's mouth gradually curled up into a smile, and the bottom of his eyes slowly filled with tenderness. He stared at the card for a while, took his phone out of his pocket and pulled up WeChat, the person at the top was Shen Cheng, and there were messages from him yesterday that he hadn't replied to.

Jian Shiwu thought about it and replied, "Thanks for the gift."

After he finished replying, he put down the phone, and he couldn't hide his good mood. He was all smiles, and he in a very good mood to chat with friends.

Lui Heng asked, "What happened with that red wine bottle yesterday, how did you get hit?"

"It was on a shelf at that time, and then Xie Feng hit it, but Shen Cheng was also below, it looked quite dangerous, so I ran over." Jian Shiwu explained, “You kniw the rest, I got injured."

Lui Heng was overcome with emotion: "The power of love, Shen Cheng should be very touched, it was so dangerous, I’m sweating listening to it."

Jian Shiwu rolled his eyes, he didn't even want to say how hard he was slapped in the face.

Qiao An in the front said, "That Xie Feng... I have met him a few times before, seems quite honest, but is not really a peace master."

Lui Heng was then curious: "I heard that he is always sick and didn’t go out much."

Qiao An responded, "Well, yes, he usually stays inside, he doesn't have any other hobbies, he just loves to play games, like that black gold game console, he liked it and he even wanted Shen Cheng to get him one from abroad. This guy really knows the goods, he knows it's good stuff..."

As he said that, the car fell into a silence.

This gift is what Xie Feng likes, and maybe it was originally for Xie Feng, and he got it as a by the way. If it had nothing to do with the former, then this gift is very moving, but after knowing about it’s relationship with the former, this gift was like a slap.

And sure enough Lui Heng glanced quietly at Jian Shiwu, and saw the face of the man who had been bright-faced and smiling gradually sink.

Qiao An knew he had said the wrong thing and hurriedly shut up.

Under the pressure, Lui Heng coughed softly: "That, Brother Shi, don't think about it, don't be angry..."

"Angry?" Jian Shiwu paused and sneered, “Why would I be angry, I'm not angry, I'm not angry at all."

"......"

Stop it, you're close to ripping the box apart.



Late afternoon.

President's Office, top floor



Secretary Wang was still happy at noon, after all, having solved the task given to him by the president, the afternoon must have been a better day!

However, when he stepped into the office and saw the gift box returned intact, his smile froze on his face.

Shen Cheng, who had just returned from a business meeting, stood beside him, looking at the box and asking in a deep voice: "Didn't you say it was sent out?"

"It was indeed sent out!"

Secretary Wang was a little aggrieved, after looking carefully he found that the packaging had been opened and said with some surprise, "Boss, there's a note here."

He didn't expect Mr. Jian to have left a note, what a lifesaver. Please be gentle and say something nice!

When Shen Cheng learned that there was a note, his cold face also softened very much, his slender fingers slid over the note, opened it up and then saw a short crisp script very dashingly written:

'Thank you Mr. Shen, but such a valuable thing categorically dare not accept, I heard that Mr. Xie likes it, then Mr. Shen might as well keep it for his brother!'



Secretary Wang then watched, as Shen Cheng's face slowly sank, and finally turned very terrifying.

"Boss..."

Secretary Wang shook his guts to console, "Mr. Jian should have his own ideas, I don't think he meant not to accept it, there should be some kind of reason for it."

A reason?

Shen Cheng's anger, which he had suppressed from yesterday to the present, was raising waves at the bottom of his heart.

He and Jian Shiwu had almost never argued, but yesterday, Jian Shiwu had gone out of his way to put himself at risk for Xie Feng, and now he was actually returning a gift just because Xie Feng liked it, and had emphatically instructed that it should be given to Xie Feng?

Good, very good!
