Yunsheng Group headquarters.

Gong Shimu stared at the black screen phone for a full seven minutes.

I didn't get an answer and I was itching to do it.

He really wanted to quit his work and go to his alma mater to see what could attract his lovely brother.

The assistant knocked on the door and after getting a response, placed a black folder with a label in front of Gong Shimu.

"Boss, the qualifications and advantages of each private school in Jiangjing have been analyzed and sorted out."

"Thank you for your hard work." Gong Shimu nodded. Seeing that the assistant was still standing there, he asked, "Anything else?"

The assistant knew that Gong Shimu had been staying in the company for several days in a row because of that trivial matter. He was either attending social events or on the way to social events and was extremely exhausted.

Even time spent with my own younger brother has to be squeezed in.

The more this happened, the angrier he became. He wanted to tell the truth and remove the last layer of veil.

"Boss, the company has already been forced to delay many projects. If this continues, not only will we have to pay extra liquidated damages, but our relationship with our partners will also become strained, affecting future development."

"A lot of people are discussing this, saying...the people Ms. Chen brought in are all connections with no ability."

The Miss Chen he was talking about was none other than Chen Qiqing, the wife whom Gong Shimu had married two years ago at the cost of abandoning his entire family.

Throughout Jiangjing City, what the two talked about most was not only the huge disparity in their family backgrounds, but also the large number of relatives behind Chen Qiqing who shamelessly claimed to be related to him.

One rat dropping can spoil the whole barrel, let alone more than one rat dropping.

Countless elite talents have studied for decades but may not be able to get an interview at Yunsheng.

However, those bad apples, who have no academic strengths and poor quality, are able to squeeze out the best resources and enter Yunsheng.

Not only did he join Yunsheng, but he also spent his days idling away, just wanting to find a lucrative job as a parasite.

Either they fail at critical moments, or they fool around, which actually increases the workload and makes Yunsheng Group a mess.

Colleagues were angry but dared not speak out, because they knew that behind this group of parasites who were just waiting to eat and wait for death was not only Chen Qiqing, but also Gong Shimu, the person in power of Yunsheng.

The biggest boss has to protect the people, what else can they do besides cleaning up the mess?

They were just angry that their boss failed to distinguish between public and private matters when dealing with Chen Qiqing.

She was clearly not from their company and clearly didn't know any human resources management skills, but they unscrupulously stuffed her useless relative into the company.

Didn’t Chen Qiqing set up a company? Why didn’t he recruit all his relatives to his company? Wasn’t it because he knew that these people were good-for-nothings?

I couldn't save face and refused, so I pushed all the mess onto the boss.

That woman's behavior is ridiculous, pathetic, and abominable!

Gong Shimu couldn't hear his assistant's increasingly frantic voice, and thought, "I understand this matter, and I will deal with it as soon as possible."

The assistant couldn't tell whether these words were sincere or perfunctory.

But even though he was filled with anger, all he could do now was nod, go out and close the door.

When Gong Shimu was the only one left in the office again, his face was no longer calm. He was overwhelmed by confusion, bewilderment, irritability and other bad emotions, which made it impossible for him to make absolutely fair and reasonable judgments as before.

As a company leader, firing those parasites is the most rational and effective way, which is his responsibility to the business and employees.

But as Chen Qiqing's husband, he could not make such a cold-blooded judgment.

This means that the emotional relationship between the two people is severed, and if he insists on laying off employees, it would be irresponsible to his wife.

Torn between the two emotions, he suffered from insomnia for the past few days, sleeping less than two hours a day.

He had discussed this with Chen Qiqing before, saying that those people had to be laid off, but as compensation, he could give them extra money.

But Chen Qiqing had her own theory. If she laid off those people, she would have no relatives to rely on, would become a laughing stock, and no one would look up to her...

As they talked, the huge ideological gap between the two of them would silently turn the situation into a contradiction, and they had no idea how many arguments they had because of this.

I had wanted to talk to my parents about these things these past two days, but Gong Huasui happened to return to China and was planning to take the college entrance examination there, so he took on the job and the layoffs were put on hold.

Now I either hide in the company or go back to the old house, trying not to see anyone if possible, and comfort myself——

Both of them need some time to cool down. He did the right thing. This is not cowardice...

Come on, if this isn't cowardice, what is?

……

After class, the classroom of Class 3-5 was still as noisy as usual.

The aftereffects of waking up too early appeared. Chi Qinghe was originally doing the questions with his head half-supported, but his eyelids became heavier and heavier, so he simply leaned on his arms to write.

This posture makes it extremely easy to fall asleep, coupled with a bunch of strange yet familiar gene pictures on the biology test paper, the black pen in my hand was struggling to move and was still tilted against the base of my thumb.

He fell asleep with the swaying Chinese magnolia tree outside the window.

As September approaches, the tree enters its fruit-bearing period.

In the mottled golden green, small pink lanterns occasionally appear, which is very beautiful.

But people's eyes rarely fell on it. Instead, they kept glancing at the sleeping boy below.

Such a look, more exquisite than a painting and with the most classical Chinese aesthetics, appears before our eyes in such a dimension that it seems somewhat unreal.

With his eyes closed, Chi Qinghe's eyelashes appeared longer and thicker, with a slightly curled arc at the ends, which perfectly embellished his cool and elegant eyebrows.

Her hair was as black as ink, and her skin was as pale as snow. Under the golden sunlight, the two reflected and collided with each other, making people breathless and feel a strong sense of distance.

After Gong Huasui got the hot water and returned to the classroom, he saw the whole class looking vaguely at the corner. The smile on his brows faded a little.

When I sat down, I saw the untouched breakfast on the table. I suddenly didn't want to care about anything else and threw it all away.

In the past, he maintained the most appropriate manners and tried not to throw away the gifts he received in front of others.

If there is a chance, I will personally return the items to the original owners and try not to hurt their self-esteem.

But now these things are a bit of an eyesore.

Chi Qinghe was sleeping in a daze, but still aware of the outside world. When he heard the sound of the left chair leg being dragged, he opened his eyes with difficulty and asked casually.

"Hmm? Now that you're back, which class are you transferring to?"

Hearing this, Gong Huasui curled his lips and said, "The Dean of Studies said that I can sit next to the top student in the school. Qinghe, can you get a few more points to surpass the two students in front of you?"

He tugged at Chi Qinghe's clothes again, his eyes drooping, and his voice sounded extremely aggrieved.

"Classmate, I just want to do it with you."

After saying this, Chi Qinghe sat up with his eyes half closed.

In order to clear his mind, he bent his wrist, placed it on his forehead, and pounded it twice, neither too hard nor too soft.

The cuffs of his school uniform were rolled up, revealing half of his skinny forearm. A light green jade bracelet stuck on his left wrist was particularly noticeable.

Almost instantly, it caught Gong Huasui's eyes.
