Quick Transmigration: The Yandere Boss Pretends to Be Well After He's Gone Mad
Chapter 233 High-Ranking Business Tycoon (Gong) VS Beautiful, Clueless, and Clear-Headed (Shou) [9]
It seems that Shen Xiushu went to the balcony to answer the phone, and Shen Jingtan came out shortly after.
He chose not to disturb them, but instead sat on the sofa and sipped his tea.
However, the two talked for quite a while, and the nephew's tone sounded different from usual, with an inexplicable gentleness in it.
When he wasn't speaking, the study was very quiet, so quiet that Shen Jingtan could almost hear the intimate tone of his voice on the phone.
As if lost in thought, Shen Jingtan glanced indifferently at the balcony.
Only after Shen Xiushu hung up the phone and asked did he look away, his tone indifferent: "I won't pursue this."
It's just a car, it's not a big deal.
However, this person appeared by his side too frequently. Apart from those with vested interests, at least unrelated people who met Shen Jingtan once would find it difficult to see him a second time, let alone leave an impression on him.
A few years ago, it wasn't this difficult for people in the industry to see Shen Jingtan.
At that time, Shen Xiushu's father had an accident, and Shen Jingtan gave up politics to go into business. He gave up his high position and humbled himself. In order to quickly become familiar with the company, Shen Jingtan often appeared at top industry conferences. In the following years, the situation stabilized. As the chairman of the board of directors, Shen Jingtan rarely appeared in public except for some major decisions and dinners with acquaintances.
He likes peace and quiet.
Therefore, if Jiang Xiyu and Shen Xiushu didn't have this relationship, and if he didn't suffer from prosopagnosia, his background check would likely be on Shen Jingtan's desk right now, given the previous rules.
Shen Xiushu understood, of course, and poured him another cup of hot tea as an apology.
"I'm sorry to have troubled my uncle."
Shen Jingtan glanced at him and asked casually, "Does your mother know about your sexual orientation?"
The old lady was in the car just now saying that she wanted to find a girl of equal social standing for Shen Xiushu.
It turned out that the woman he was keeping was a man.
Shen Xiushu frankly said, "She didn't know."
He wouldn't bring this kind of thing to Shen's mother's attention.
As for his sexual orientation?
Shen Xiushu was certain that he was keeping Jiang Xiyu as a mistress only because she had a face that suited his taste. In essence, his body was very resistant to having relations with men.
So he said, "I'll handle it."
Shen Jingtan took a sip of tea and said nothing.
He didn't really care about these things, but he felt that his nephew seemed to be exceptionally patient with that young man...
The two stopped talking about this person and later, while enjoying tea, they discussed the group's development plans and current political issues.
As the group's CEO, Shen Xiushu has been entrusted with many tasks by Shen Jingtan.
However, in recent years, the higher authorities have strictly controlled the group's monopoly, so Shen Xiushu thought he should still ask Shen Jingtan for her opinion.
Shen Jingtan didn't say anything, but invited him to play a game of Go.
His past political habits made him dislike making definitive statements. He would simply describe the trapped white pieces on the chessboard, saying that although they seemed to be struggling, there were actually many other paths they could take.
Shen Jingtan sat upright, and her movements while playing the chess pieces were elegant.
He calmly placed a piece, and the white piece came to life.
Shen Xiushu looked at the chessboard for a long time before admitting defeat.
Shen Jingtan held a chess piece between her fingertips, its surface smooth and warm to the touch.
Seeing Shen Xiushu concede defeat, he casually tossed the chess piece into the chess box and said in a low voice, "Let's play again."
Shen Xiushu was taught Go by him, so it's normal that he couldn't beat him.
He chatted with Shen Jingtan for a while longer, and remembering what the old lady said to the group of women after Shen Jingtan left, he couldn't help but mention, "Grandma is very worried about you, Uncle."
"I heard that Grandma is planning to take your photo and find some suitable men to marry you."
Shen Jingtan lowered her eyes and shook her head, seemingly helpless.
This kind of thing happens every year.
However, the old lady was only saying it; she wouldn't actually interfere with Shen Jingtan's decision.
Honestly, this man has used his experience and power to perfectly embody the beauty of bone structure.
Many socialites and young women who saw Shen Jingtan's photos couldn't wait to strip this man naked and peek at him breaking his vows of lust.
But Shen Jingtan has never shown any interest in anyone over the years. It seems that there is an insurmountable distance between men and women in front of him. In the end, even the old lady sighed with a headache, saying that she had given birth to a Bodhisattva who was pure and desireless.
……
On the other side, Jiang Xiyu, who had just hung up the phone, breathed a sigh of relief when Shen Xiushu agreed to handle the aftermath.
Jiang Yun had been watching over the whole time, and seeing that things had gone smoothly, he felt a sense of accomplishment.
High-end endorsements are given opportunities whenever they want, and after crashing a license plate worth millions, a little coquetry is all it takes to clean up the mess. Considering all the money-spending behavior mentioned earlier, Jiang Yun felt that Jiang Xiyu didn't need to suffer in the entertainment industry.
That's what she thought, and that's what she said.
Jiang Xiyu's expression remained unchanged after hearing this, but the smile on her lips faded.
When he stopped pretending to be obedient, his face appeared aloof and cold.
After a long pause, he sighed, seemingly with self-mockery, "The worst thing a person can do is not recognize their own place."
Especially one's place in someone else's heart.
What those in power give them is utterly insignificant to them.
But for the world's poor, it was like a tremendous gift.
When Shen Xiu expresses love, even the cage that binds you can be made of gold.
But if he no longer loves her, and she dies in the cold night, he won't spare her a single glance.
People's hearts are fickle; it's better to block power than to block genuine feelings.
Two days later, Jiang Xiyu went to audition for the fantasy drama "Qingshan Yusui". Producer Lin Xia was already waiting for him. After taking him to try on costumes and scenes, director Liang Ji was even more satisfied.
Actually, the production had been in preparation for a long time. The script had been polished for a year, including various props, sets, casting, etc. In the end, the only thing left to do was to find the lead actor because it was difficult to find a male actor who fit the cool and aloof image of the original work, which caused the role to be delayed for a long time.
It was only after the producer happened to see a photo of Jiang Xiyu with long hair on Weibo that he recommended her to the director.
The producer said that because the drama has action scenes, Jiang Xiyu may need to join the crew two months in advance before filming begins.
Jiang Xiyu agreed and joined the group for practice two months in advance. After the practice ended, he finally had some personal time, so he took some time to go back to Haishi in early July.
Just before boarding the plane, he sent a message to Shen Xiushu, meaning that he was going back and asking if he wanted to go to the apartment that night.
You should know that during these two months, he sent Shen Xiushu good morning and good night messages every day without fail, and would also send some flattering and considerate words from time to time to show that he was a competent little lover.
The purpose was to tell Shen Xiushu that although I am not by his side, I think about him every day.
After Jiang Xiyu sent the message, she didn't expect a reply. However, five minutes later, Shen Xiushu replied with a concise "Hmm".
