Chapter 2

July in Guangzhou was hot and humid. It had just rained and the palm trees on the roadside were swaying in the wind. The sun shone through the clouds again and onto Su He through the glass.

When he returned to Su's house last night, he was covered in red wine stains, his hair was wet and stuck together, and he looked a little disheveled.

The servants in the Su residence just watched from afar, with no intention of going forward to help.

Su He followed some of the original owner's memories and returned to the room. He found that most of the original owner's belongings in the room had been thrown away and piled up at the door like garbage.

After washing himself, he found a pillow from the "garbage dump" and slept on the bare mattress for a night. Now he dragged out a suitcase and started packing, only stuffing a few pieces of clothes and the original owner's necessary documents.

There was a noisy conversation coming from the door.

He glanced at the corridor outside the door and saw several servants quietly surrounding him and staring at him.

It seemed as if he couldn't believe that after seeing the room in such a mess, Su He would be so calm instead of getting angry. Maybe he was planning some big move.

Su He paused, raised his foot to hook the door panel, and slammed the door shut.

The whole world is quiet.

He squatted on the ground, thinking about the future, and felt confused about the road ahead.

During the phone call yesterday, Secretary Chen from Sheng’s company made an appointment to meet with him.

According to the plot, after the original owner joined the villain for fame and fortune, he was placed next to the protagonist Sheng Jinyu as an assistant, and became a spy placed by Chairman Sheng next to his son.

The original owner wished he had eight hundred schemes all over his body, and he did all kinds of bad things, so of course he ended up in a miserable state!

Because the male protagonist is not a good person either. After discovering the traitor around him, he dealt with it without hesitation and his methods were quite fierce.

Su He touched his remaining hands and feet, sighed with a sad face, was he going to be tortured to the point where nothing was left?

Well, the original owner’s ending was indeed nothing left.

After much deliberation, Su He decided to keep the appointment and resign in person.

The current director of the famous Guangzhou Sheng family, there is no one they can't find, and it definitely won't be him!

When Su He was dragging his suitcase out of the house, he passed by the trash can at the door and caught a glimpse of a tilted transparent plastic fish tank in it. Half of the water had already leaked out, and two half-dead goldfish were still struggling hard, a bit like him.

Even though he knew his time was running out, he was unwilling to die.

Su He simply took out the fish tank, refilled it with water, put it on the suitcase and took it away. When he walked into the living room, the sound of the door opening was heard from the entrance.

The family of four who had returned home together were laughing and chatting, but when they saw him standing in the living room dragging a suitcase, they were stunned and their smiles disappeared.

Father Su frowned, "A business trip again? Don't leave so quickly. I have something to tell you."

The original owner was not very popular in the Su family. He grew up with his grandmother and had a shallow relationship with the Su couple. After his grandmother passed away, he was taken home and a little brother was added to the family.

The original owner used all his intelligence and talent in crooked ways to try to attract attention, and as a result, his relationship with Su's father and mother became increasingly distant.

The one standing next to the couple is probably their biological son who was found. He looks very similar to Su's mother.

The woman patted her son's hand to comfort him and sent him upstairs first. The couple stood in front of Su He solemnly, as if they were going to hold a trial.

They knew that their eldest son was smart and cunning. He would definitely know their attitude when he saw the things thrown out of the bedroom. With Su He's character, he would never let it go.

I will definitely cause a big fuss in Heaven and stick to them like a piece of candy!

Su's mother had anticipated this and immediately took the initiative, saying, "Ahe, don't blame us for being cruel. You have raised someone else's son for so many years, and we haven't treated you unfairly."

"Even if you don't want to leave, there's no way. There has to be a solution." Father Su took over.

The two of them chatted back and forth, as if they expected him to get entangled, and Su He didn't even find a chance to interrupt.

Only the younger brother, who was still young, seemed to know that the brother who grew up with him was going to be driven away. He hugged Su's mother's waist and cried non-stop, trying to use his tears to make his parents keep Su He.

This caused the couple to misunderstand. They thought that Su He was relying on the fact that his youngest son had some feelings for him, instigating his younger brother to plead for him, and then shedding a few tears to play the emotional card. They were so naive that they thought they could threaten them to be soft-hearted. They immediately felt angry and thought that this was indeed the case.

"Su He, don't be so ungrateful. You're embarrassing everyone." Su's father acted like the head of the family and started to educate him as usual, putting on airs.

"We have done our best for you. Are you afraid that no one will give you money if you leave the Su family? Okay, I'll give you this money..."

Father Su had already put his hands in his pockets, and was about to take out the card he had prepared to send Su He away, but he saw Su He wave his hands and said with a gentle smile: "You misunderstood, I don't want any money, and my luggage is packed."

He glanced at his phone and saw that the taxi he had arranged had already arrived at the door. He looked up and said, "I just wanted to tell you that I'm leaving."

"What!?"

Su's father and mother looked at each other in bewilderment. This troublesome eldest son not only didn't want money, but also readily agreed to leave right away without any entanglement?

The couple were both stunned and looked at each other, unsure of what kind of delaying tactic Su He was using.

"You're right. I want to thank you for taking care of me over the years. Oh, by the way, I didn't take anything with me, just some documents and a change of clothes. Do you want me to open them and check them?"

Su He smiled, his eyes curved, without a trace of nostalgia in them.

He quickly pushed the suitcase over and was about to squat down to unlock it.

Father Su choked with a breath, and the word "thank you" sounded sarcastic. Mother Su waved her hands awkwardly and said "no thanks" twice.

Before leaving, Su He bowed solemnly to the two of them. Although he did not grow up in this broken family, this family raised this body to adulthood.

Mother Su looked at Su He's leaving back, and her face became a little embarrassed. She looked at her husband with a worried look on her face: "...Are we too aggressive?"

Father Su snorted coldly, his hands behind his back, and said firmly: "This is just a self-torture trick. He must have a trick up his sleeve. Be careful."

Su He, who had finally caught up with the car after rushing for a long time, breathed a sigh of relief. The villa area where the Su family lived was too large and unfamiliar vehicles were not allowed to enter, so he could only run out of the park.

Two hours later, standing in a study in the Sheng family manor, Su He deeply realized that he was the only one who could play the villain.

Upon hearing Su He express his determination to refuse further cooperation, the middle-aged man behind the pear wood desk raised his head and said with a half-smile, "Mr. Su, do you feel that the compensation is not to your liking?"

Looking at the creepy smile on the man's lips, Su He immediately imagined the cannon fodder passers-by who were killed by the villains because of saying the wrong thing, and suddenly felt that he might be close to death.

He smiled with relief, that's good, the sooner he died the sooner he would be reborn.

Anyway, whatever you say at this time is wrong!

Chairman Sheng looked at Su He, who was smiling calmly and determined to win. He glanced at Secretary Chen who was standing aside, and the two exchanged glances. Secretary Chen also felt that the person in front of him was really extraordinary. He could raise the price so confidently in front of Chairman Sheng. He really had potential.

Secretary Chen immediately laughed and said, "Mr. Su is indeed a smart man. He never doubts a person. We found you because we believe in your ability. As long as you do a good job, the reward is not a problem."

Su He was stunned: OO?

Who do you trust? Me?

"But if Mr. Su still insists on changing his mind midway, this matter will be difficult to discuss." Secretary Chen smiled gently.

Anyone could hear the threat in these words. As the largest power group in the entire book, the Sheng family, although they moved in from outside, could be said to be an all-powerful existence in Guangzhou.

Guangzhou is surrounded by the sea on both sides and has many ports. It faces the land-scarce Jinsha Island across the sea. Thirty years ago, the whole family moved from the island to Guangzhou and took root here, connecting the trade between the two places.

Originally, Jialai Technology, owned by the Su family, was already a leading enterprise in Guangzhou, but it could not be compared with the Sheng family, which had been established for a hundred years.

It's so easy to crush a small ant like him.

If he refused, he might not be able to get out of the door on the spot. Su He simply nodded without saying anything.

It doesn't matter.

It won’t work here. After meeting the male protagonist, he can just find a way to make the male protagonist refuse to accept him!

Su He cheered himself up for a while, then walked out of the study. Secretary Chen gave him some instructions intermittently, and he took notes seriously as if he was listening to a lecture in class.

"The young master just returned home yesterday. He injured his arm in a racing accident some time ago, so he might have a quick temper. If you can successfully stay by his side, that will be the first step to success."

Secretary Chen said as he led the way.

Su He did not have a deep impression of the protagonist. His attention was focused on the story of the supporting character of the same name, and he skipped through many plots.

The only impression I have of the protagonist is that this young man was originally a very popular racing driver, but his racing career was ruined because he was called back home by his villain father to inherit the family business.

He has a really bad temper, and...

This person might even hang him up and break his hands and feet in the future!

"So where are we going now..." Su He asked in a low voice.

Secretary Chen smiled and said, "Go meet the young master."

Su He couldn't help but touched his hand again.

This is not to see the young master, this is to see the living devil!

Ten minutes later, the vehicle stopped at the entrance of a park.

Su He got out of the car and saw a vast racecourse in front of him. The orange halo reflected in his eyes, and he could see the sunset sinking into the horizon without any obstruction.

He followed Secretary Chen into the stables, where he was greeted by a whiff of air freshener mixed with a hint of livestock's smell, which made him frown. At a glance, he saw that most of the horses were pure black and white, with muscular bodies and beautiful fur, and were queuing up to be fed by the breeders.

In one of the compartments, a tall and long-legged man stood in the middle, seemingly... trimming a horseshoe?

That should be the protagonist of the article, Chairman Sheng’s only son, Sheng Jinyu.

Su He was so sure because Sheng Jinyu's appearance and temperament were so outstanding, and were exaggerated in great detail by the original author, making it difficult to admit his mistake.

Probably because he had just finished horse racing, the man was still wearing equestrian clothes on the lower half of his body, with a pair of straight long legs tucked into long boots, and only a black tights on his upper body, which was stretched into several folds by the plump muscle lines.

His movements were very slow because there was a brace fixed on his right forearm. Perhaps he couldn't exert much strength, and the coordination between his two hands was not smooth.

The injury that needs to be bandaged to this extent is at least a bone fracture, and yet they still carry out this kind of activity openly?

It’s really cruel!

Su He said nothing, watching Secretary Chen standing respectfully beside Sheng Jinyu. "Young Master, this is Mr. Su, the assistant that Chairman Sheng has chosen for you."

"Hello Mr. Sheng, my name is Su He." Su He said politely.

But after he finished speaking, the man didn't react at all. He just raised his eyelids and glanced at him, and it was unclear whether he saw him clearly or not.

The movement of his squatting pulled his collar down, revealing a small part of the black tattoo on the collar. The full picture could not be seen, but Sheng Jin's facial features were sharp and his hair was short and neat. The tattoo made him look even less like a good person.

Sheng Jinyu pressed his injured hand on the horse's leg, and used his intact left hand to hold the scraper, carefully cleaning the wildly growing cuticle, occasionally communicating with the hoof trimmer behind him in French.

They almost completely left these two living people aside.

As expected, he has the same bad temper as described in the book...

Su He complained inwardly for a moment and then looked away.

Secretary Chen probably expected this to happen. He took a step aside and looked at Su He, as if to say, it's your home court next.

Su He blinked and twisted his hands together unconsciously, looking for an opportunity to say something.

Sheng Jinyu chatted with the hoof trimmer intermittently, but most of the time it was the hoof trimmer who did the talking. Sheng Jinyu only responded occasionally, as if that mouth was rented at a high price and he had to think carefully before saying anything more.

Su He stared at the pair of hands covered with blue veins, watching him hammering and repairing the horse's hooves.

Sheng Jinyu probably has obsessive-compulsive disorder. He has to consider the angle before every cut. His technique is very clean. If he shoots it into a decompression video and posts it online, it might go viral.

Time passed minute by minute, and Su He was about to feel sleepy, but the light in front of him was blocked by a tall shadow.

He raised his head and saw Sheng Jinyu standing two steps away from him, staring at him coldly.
