"The future competitor, is it you?"

Li Jiangwang's eyes are beautifully shaped, and they are curved with a faint smile, like ripples in a calm lake, deep and dangerous, as if trying to suck people in.

Zhang Ning pinched his thigh quietly, and said firmly after waking up: "It can't be me."

"I won't go back to Xia's house."

"Okay." After hearing his answer, Li Jiangwang slowly backed away, with a regretful expression, but said, "If it was you, I'm afraid I won't have the heart to do it."

His voice was very low, and it was mixed with the music of the cello in the dining room. Zhang Ning felt that his ears covered by his hair were red, and asked in a low voice, "Why?"

Li Jiangwang lowered his head and picked up the last piece of steak with a fork. Hearing this, he raised his eyes and replied, "Because you are Xuanxuan's friend and my employee."

Zhang Ning looked back and said "oh" slowly.

He finished the food on the plate without appetite, and almost stuffed the red wine in one gulp when he picked up the glass.

When Li Jiangwang looked at the young man with a blushing face and coughed, he didn't know what he thought of, the corners of his mouth curled up, and he quickly returned to his usual look, he just asked, "Do you need a tissue?"

Zhang Ning regained his strength and waved his hand: "No, thank you."

The alcohol content of the red wine is not high, but Zhang Ning is a little dizzy after drinking it like that.The next day he got up as usual and went downstairs to buy breakfast. When he opened the door, the system suddenly asked, "Did you tell Li Jiangwang where you live after you moved?"

The door was closed with a bang, but Zhang Ning didn't hear clearly: "What?"

The system repeated it again, and then said, "He sent you back yesterday."

Zhang Ning also couldn't remember clearly, he said: "But since he has checked so carefully, he should know where I live."

"That's right," the system said, "by the way, there is one more thing."

Zhang Ning: "Huh?"

"You just closed the door, didn't you take the key?"

Zhang Ning: "..."

The old lady was wearing a red cuff on her arm, she straightened her waist and said to Zhang Ning: "Young man, why are you so forgetful? The guy who called me last time was also a guy about your age..."

Zhang Ning said, "Yes, yes, I will definitely remember to bring the key next time."

He carried the steamed stuffed bun soymilk and listened quietly to the training. When the lock picker finally stood up and said "open", he was relieved, and stuffed two steamed buns for the old lady and the lock picker.

It was almost half an hour before he was late, so Zhang Ning ate the steamed stuffed bun hastily, sucked on the soy milk, put the bag on his back and went out again.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw a woman wearing sunglasses standing in front of his door.

Zhang Ning took a breath, thinking that he must be late today.

Xia Qinghan said, "Shall we talk?"

How about asking for a leave of absence, Zhang Ning thought.

He let Xia Qinghan come in, then stood by the shoe cabinet and said, "Wait a minute."

Xia Qinghan took off her sunglasses and looked at the layout of the home. Although she didn't say anything, she could still see some disgust in her eyes.

Then she saw Zhang Ning moving a small mat: "Sit down."

Xia Qinghan frowned: "You just let me sit here?"

In fact, there is a lazy sofa in the living room, but Zhang Ning didn't want her to sit on it, so he just smiled and said, "I don't want to talk, I'll go to work now."

Xia Qinghan sat on the pony saddle in every possible way, while Zhang Ning dragged an off-white lazy sofa and lay comfortably opposite her.

Xia Qinghan: "..."

She hugged her bag in humiliation, and tried to make her tone as friendly as possible: "Dad is still in the hospital, he misses you very much."

Xia Qinghan started telling the story again, and seemed to be moved even by herself, her eyes were slightly moist: "...We really want you to go home."

Zhang Ning: "Wait a minute, I'll call the leader to ask for leave."

"..." Xia Qinghan's face contorted for a moment, and after Zhang Ning finished asking for leave, she said, "Are you working under Li Jiangwang now?"

Zhang Ning glanced at her and didn't speak.

Xia Qinghan bit her lip, and said tentatively, "I...saw you guys having dinner together yesterday, do you have a good relationship with Mr. Li?"

Zhang Ning didn't believe that she "saw it", she must have had people check her all the time.

Sure enough, Xia Qinghan continued: "Why do you have to look at other people's faces in other companies? You can write songs when you come back, and you can release them yourself if you want. You can do whatever you want at home, and my sister will help you..."

She said slowly: "Also, if you like Li Lexuan, I can help you too."

Zhang Ning was startled suddenly when he heard this sentence, and sat up from the beanbag sofa, in disbelief: "The system can still have this kind of strategy?" What direction is this going?

System: "No, wait..."

It signaled Zhang Ning to listen to Xia Qinghan first.

Judging from his actions just now, Xia Qinghan felt that she had made the right bet, so she continued her efforts: "I've seen that girl Li Lexuan before, and she matches you very well..."

Zhang Ning:!

Sister, I call you sister, please don't say it, okay?

System: "...Although it is the direction of the orthodox male second, why do I not feel so happy?"

"Cough," Zhang Ning stood up, he didn't want to hear Xia Qinghan continue making up here, and said, "I don't know where you got the news, but I don't like her."

Xia Qinghan obviously didn't believe it: "You don't need to be shy, my sister knows it all."

"..." Zhang Ning sighed wearily, and got up to let her leave.

"If you can return to Xia's house and become Xia Henglei's youngest son, my younger brother, I will also propose to Li Jiangwang for you to try with his sister..."

Xia Qinghan chattered on and on, and continued: "Maybe you can help find out what Li Jiangwang's next move is..."

The system suddenly said: "Wait!"

Zhang Ning paused: "What's wrong?"

"Promise her," the system said quickly, "She wants to defeat the Li family, this is one of the plot twists."

Zhang Ning immediately understood what the system said.In the original book, Li Lexuan's family would encounter misfortune, bankruptcy and family ruin. What Xia Qinghan sent now is this turning point.

The system said: "This plot is the 50% turning point of the world line."

Zhang Ning looked at the woman's lips, which were painted with bright lipstick, and slowly sat down again: "Okay, when will I go to see... Dad."

Xia Qinghan looked up at him happily: "Are you finally willing to go home?"

"Well," Zhang Ning's tone was very cold, he no longer showed impatience, and suddenly became more patient, and asked Xia Qinghan one sentence at a time:

"Why did Mr. Li tell me that my father has many illegitimate children?"

"Why did you just find me now, but you didn't ask me before?"

"You know the comments about me on the Internet, why don't you explain it to your brother?"

Xia Qinghan opened her mouth: "You, don't listen to outsiders' nonsense!"

She talked more and more vigorously, as if covering up her own lies, and said loudly: "We are your relatives! Only we will treat you well! I am your own sister, you have to believe me!"

Zhang Ning didn't wait for her to make up more lies. He questioned Xia Qinghan because he was angry. When he saw her say this, he seldom simply said, "Okay, sister, I haven't paid the rent for this month."

"..." the system said: "You got into the show so quickly, you really look like a rich second generation who only knows how to ask for money from the family."

Zhang Ning was very modest: "Ha, is it that similar? The main reason is that I saw a lot in the original world."

In the end, Xia Qinghan left a card and left. There was a lot of money in it, enough for Zhang Ning to pay the rent for several years.Zhang Ning lay back on the lazy sofa comfortably, and sighed: "It's really good to be rich, I don't want to go to work anymore."

System: "Who isn't?"

Zhang Ning still had to go to work the next day, and he promised Xia Qinghan that he would be a commercial spy.

"That must be impossible," said Zhang Ning, who was lucky enough to find a seat on the bus today, "I would be so stupid?"

The system thought that was not necessarily the case, and said to him, "You want to spread fake news?"

"It can only be like this," Zhang Ning sighed, and said, "It's a bit of a slap in the face, Li Jiangwang asked me yesterday if I wanted to go back, but I said no... If he knew today, would he fire me directly? "

The system also felt a little overwhelmed, and comforted him by saying, "No way, you can think of a way. It's fine if you don't work anymore. Anyway, Xia Qinghan promised to help you, and you can always get in touch with the heroine."

As soon as Li Lexuan was mentioned, Zhang Ning wanted to take out his mobile phone to see what Li Lexuan was doing. Unexpectedly, the screen kept flickering, and there were several messages on it:

Teacher Lian[1]: Not coming to work?

Hostess [8]: Are you still in my brother's company?

Cheng Cheng[4]: Brother Xia, why didn't you reply to me?

Zhang Ning was confused, so he replied to Lian Gu first: "I'm on my way to work, Teacher Lian."

He clicked on the news about the heroine and Cheng Cheng again, and found that both of them knew about his plan to return to Xia's house to recognize relatives.

Zhang Ning said, "Xia Qinghan is really fast."

Being so impatient, it must be that Xia Henglei's time is running out.

Zhang Ning replied briefly, and then received a message from an unfamiliar number: "Tomorrow at four o'clock in the afternoon, I will pick you up and take you to the hospital for a paternity test."

Needless to say, it must be Xia Qinghan.

Zhang Ning sneered and said, "In the beginning, I didn't even have a paternity test, so I was so sure that I was Xia Henglei's son."

The system said: "It should be for the purpose of making it public for others to see as evidence."

Zhang Ning didn't reply. Anyway, someone will pick him up on time tomorrow. He is in a bad mood, wearing a mask and hat all the time and feeling bored.When I met a few artists in the company, they also dressed in the same way, making him look like a celebrity.

At work, there were more eyes looking at him intentionally or unintentionally. Zhang Ning had no intention of working all day, and his mind was full of what qualifications he had to inquire about Li Jiangwang's itinerary.

After a while, Li Jiangwang's assistant came: "Mr. Xia, Mr. Li, please go upstairs and have a chat."

The eyes of almost the entire floor were cast over, wishing to shoot Zhang Ning into a sieve.

Zhang Ning stood up slowly: "Okay."

He followed the assistant and walked up the elevator together to meet the eyes of everyone, just like a prisoner being escorted to the execution ground.

There were only Zhang Ning and his assistant in the elevator. Looking at the shadow reflected in the elevator, Zhang Ning tentatively asked, "Is there anything Mr. Li can do with me?"

The assistant smiled and said, "I'm not too sure, Mr. Xia."

"I really want to fire me," Zhang Ning said to the system crying, "Then where can I find such a good boss?"

"He treats you well because of the heroine's face," the system said, "Don't cry, when you are valuable, your sister is also very good to you."

Zhang Ning: "Oh."

The assistant sent him to the door of the president's office and stopped going. Zhang Ning knocked on the door slowly, and then vaguely heard the word "come in" from inside.

Zhang Ning took a deep breath, and then pushed open the door.

Li Jiangwang was sitting at the desk reading documents, with a pair of silver-rimmed glasses on his tall nose bridge, he looked up at Zhang Ning, with no expression on his face, just raised his chin and said, "Sit."

The decoration of the office is calm and calm. Zhang Ning is wearing a casual hoodie and jeans that look out of place. He is sitting opposite Li Jiangwang, across a table from him.

"I heard that you promised Xia Qinghan that you are going back to Xia's house?" Li Jiangwang still held a pen in his hand, looked down at the document, and said to Zhang Ning as if chatting, "Didn't you swear yesterday that you would not go back?" ?”

Zhang Ning's voice was weak: "I just said that I won't be a competitor with you..."

"Heh." Li Jiangwang raised his eyes and let out a laugh. Zhang Ning didn't quite understand the meaning of the laugh, so he just sat quietly and didn't speak.

Li Jiangwang also didn't speak all the time, just kept busy with his work, and his assistant came in and out several times, to deliver documents or pour tea, and turned a blind eye to Zhang Ning next to him.

The big boss was sitting and working in front of him. No matter how bored Zhang Ning was, he didn't dare to take out his mobile phone, and he didn't know how long he sat there.

Just when he felt his legs were numb, Li Jiangwang finally said: "I heard a long time ago that you like Xuanxuan."

Zhang Ning immediately sat up straight: "President Li, actually I..."

Li Jiangwang: "Your sister, Xia Qinghan also said the same."

Zhang Ning: "..." Even the boss has to listen to other people's words!

"Actually, I regard Le Xuan as a good friend," Zhang Ning tried to explain, "So does Le Xuan, and she already has a boyfriend." It's just that this boyfriend's character is not very good, and he will be a bit scumbag in the future.

"I hope you think so," Li Jiangwang said, "Xuanxuan is young and innocent. In the past, people around her liked her, as well as her identity and money."

Li Jiangwang crossed his hands and looked at Zhang Ning: "You will soon become the legitimate heir of the Xia family, and you will experience this situation in the future."

"But will your sister take care of you like I protect Xuanxuan?"

Zhang Ning said in his heart, no.

Xia Henglei was very romantic when he was young. He had several illegitimate children, but only Xia Ming was the most suitable to be controlled, so Xia Qinghan would use him.

But he is Xia Ming now, and he will only look back at Li Jiang with blank and puzzled eyes.

The man sighed softly and said, "I won't fire you, go back to work."

Zhang Ning stood in the descending elevator, staring at his own shadow: "Did he just want to say this?"

The system said: "He is indeed a good boss."

"But it does not rule out that he is using a soft policy."

"If you don't have a soft heart," Zhang Ning scratched his hair and said, "It's fine if you don't get fired. It's just right for Xia Qinghan."

After get off work, Zhang Ning couldn't get on the bus, so he planned to ride a shared bicycle back.

"That car," the system called out to Zhang Ning when passing through an intersection, "Is that Cui Zhengsi sitting in it?"

"Huh?" Zhang Ning looked up, and the window of a car waiting for a red light across the road was lowered. Someone held a cigarette in his finger and put his hand on the window. That face was Cui Zhengsi, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

"It's him." Zhang Ning didn't pay much attention, but the system asked him to follow.

Zhang Ning asked: "What are you doing with him?"

"I think there's something wrong," the system said, "Look at what he's wearing."

There were only more than ten seconds left at the red light, Zhang Ning took the time to look, and vaguely saw the man in the driver's seat wearing a black shirt with a wide neckline, which was nothing like his usual clean and tidy dressing style.

Zhang Ning subconsciously remembered an emoji: "He's so..."

System: "Follow up!"

The red light was over, so Zhang Ning had no choice but to step on the pedal and turn to the opposite side of the road.

"How can I catch up with him on two wheels!" Zhang Ning panted, "I can't do it."

The system shouted in surprise: "He's stuck in traffic! You still have a chance!"

Zhang Ning finally stopped near a bar on a shared bicycle, hesitating a bit: "He got in here?"

The system is convinced: "Yes."

"Today you can discover the true face of this scumbag."

The author has something to say: Why don't you take a high look at me!Another four thousand!
