Chapter 25 Chapter 25 Awesome Ji Qian.

"It's been three years since we last met," the old man asked Chi Ke to sit opposite him and made tea for him himself. "You've changed a lot."

Chi Ke took the teacup with both hands and replied calmly, "I hope these changes will not disappoint you."

Ever since he found out that the original owner's salary was paid into Zhenting's account instead of Xingmian Entertainment's account, he began to doubt the original owner's real "boss".

Later, Leng Yunting's attitude gradually confirmed this point, otherwise he would not be so confident in front of Leng Yunting.

"You kid," Leng Lao laughed heartily, "I am not disappointed with what I have seen with my own eyes, but what I have heard from the housekeeper has left me very disappointed."

He changed the subject and his tone became sharp: "I have been in Switzerland for the past three years and have been back for very short periods of time. I was too busy with the new brand over there and didn't ask about the situation in China, nor did I take the initiative to contact you. But you only wrote me an email two years ago, and then there was no response? This year it's even worse. I called you but your phone was turned off. You didn't even tell me when you changed your phone number. Now I want to find you and you want me to come to your door in person."

Chi Ke: “.”

You don’t even have a WeChat contact with the original owner. I just came here, how could I have imagined that the original owner and you had such a close relationship?

He lowered his head apologetically: "I'm sorry, something happened at home, and I was unable to handle the time arrangement of work and personal affairs in time. It was my fault."

"He's better than my grandson. He knows how to admit his mistakes instead of making excuses for himself." Old Leng poured him some tea. "I said I was disappointed in you, not because you didn't contact me in time. I asked you to assist Leng Yunting in his career before, which was also a test of your ability. You have been by his side since college, and you have been with him for so many years. Now his crappy entertainment company is still just breaking even."

"Chi Ke, I brought you out of Yanping because I saw your talent. You even said you wanted to take care of your brother, so I sponsored a primary school for you to go to high school and then go to college... Now it seems that you really make me doubt my judgment back then."

"I don't know if I have misjudged you. You are not as good as I thought."

It's really murderous and heartbreaking.

It was obvious that the old man understood the original owner.

These words were a bit too deliberate, not something a big shot of Leng Chengye's level would say directly. There was no other possibility except that he was deliberately trying to provoke him.

Although it sounds cruel, the fact that he was willing to say such a long paragraph shows that he is not completely disappointed.

If the original owner had not been sick, he would have worked hard to pursue his career.

Unfortunately, the original owner had been severely depressed for a long time, and hearing these words in that state...

The high-pressure job of 007 is really harmful to people.

With the old man as his backer, and having become autistic because of his work, Chi Ke guessed that in addition to family factors, he might have really regarded Leng Yunting as a friend during the four years of studying abroad, otherwise how could he work so hard for Xingmian?

I put too much emphasis on friendship and failed to distinguish the priorities of my work. Now that my ugly "performance" is here, I deserve to be criticized by my sponsor and immediate boss.

"I'm sorry that I failed to meet your expectations before we met again today." Chi Ke put down his teacup, sat upright but not stiffly, and said seriously, "I have always remembered the old gentleman's kindness. I vowed a long time ago that I would not let you down, and this is still my goal now."

The old man leaned back in his chair, not saying a word, just staring at him.

Chi Ke looked at him without dodging or evading, with guilt and a fighting spirit in his eyes.

He bet that was what the old man wanted to see.

It's just a perfunctory act, but it's enough to deal with people.

As expected, before the tea cooled, the old man's expression softened again: "I am looking forward to how you will achieve this goal next."

"I have something else to ask you tonight." The old man said, "The expenditure on Yunting's card tonight is related to that little celebrity named Xu, right?"

After understanding who his real boss was, Chi Ke simply nodded: "Yes."

"I checked him out, he's just average, no grades, no abilities, no talents." The old man didn't try to suppress his emotions, his face looked grim, "What on earth did he like about him?"

Chi Ke said truthfully: "I like her looks."

"Looks..." Leng Lao narrowed his eyes, "I know, let's leave it at that for now, don't tell him that I noticed that little star."

"By the way, Siyue Zhenting has some rectification going on. I'll arrange a transfer for you depending on the situation. During this time, you can help me keep an eye on him. I want to see what kind of tricks this kid can come up with for me."

He pushed a document in front of Chi Ke and said, "I'm old and feel sleepy when reading. This is the product development plan and friendly company information that the group is working on this month. Please help me review it."

"Okay." Chi Ke rolled up his sleeves and picked up the pen on the table.

Outside the window, the night was dark and starry. The green plants by the window attracted a firefly, which floated quietly in the air without disturbing the old and the young sitting at the desk.

Talking to the old man requires extremely high concentration.

Leng Chengye has a sharp eye, bizarre views, and is sensitive and suspicious. If he is not careful, he can easily trap people with words and make them say things they shouldn't. With this ability, it is no wonder that he can do this to Zhen Ting.

In order not to arouse the other party's suspicion, Chi Ke chatted about family matters and pretended to be stupid to ask for advice. He spent a lot of effort in getting the other party to talk, and only then did he learn about the original owner's two real jobs.

One is to take care of Mr. Leng’s little grandson.

The other was to secretly observe the Leng Da Shao, Leng Baiyao, to prevent him from having any ambitions of rebellion.

Leng Yunting and Leng Baiyao are half-brothers. Their father was Leng Chengye's most beloved youngest son.

Originally, Leng's father and Leng Yunting's mother were campus sweethearts, but Leng Chengye didn't like his daughter-in-law and forcibly separated them and arranged a marriage for them. The marriage partner was Leng Baiyao's mother, the only daughter of the Li family.

Miss Li's life was very novel. She was a talented woman from a wealthy family, with a gentle personality and a beautiful appearance. However, she was short-lived and had many illnesses. She died not long after giving birth to Leng Baiyao.

After being married for many years, Leng's father also had feelings for his wife. His wife's death caused him to suffer from depression. Coincidentally, his first love returned to China at this time. With the company of his first love, he gradually came out of the haze, rekindled his old love with his first love without telling the old man, and secretly gave birth to Leng Yunting.

But he may not be destined to have a happy marriage.

When Leng Yunting was three years old, his first love also died in a car accident. Leng's father couldn't bear the blow, so he took Leng Yunting back to the old house and drove off the cliff to commit suicide.

The old man was so anxious that he stayed in the hospital for a long time. Every day he was busy with work and didn't care about anything else. It was two years later when he recovered and came out.

Unlike Leng Baiyao, who had been pampered since birth and was admired by thousands of people, Leng Yunting lacked his father's company before he came back. In the past two years after his return, he was assumed to be an illegitimate child, and everyone in the old house disliked him.

Although there was no abuse, Leng Yunting's life seemed extremely miserable compared to Leng Baiyao.

Of course, if that were all, Leng Chengye would not be partial to Leng Yunting to this extent.

Leng Yunting’s biggest advantage is that he and his father look almost exactly like each other.

Leng Baiyao, on the other hand, looks exactly like his mother except for his face shape and mouth.

Whenever the old man saw Leng Yunting, he thought of his deceased son. He felt overwhelmed with guilt and became more and more partial to this little grandson. He trained "Chi Ke" to be his little grandson's study companion and right-hand man.

But he is not senile or muddleheaded.

No matter how partial he is, it remains an uncertain mystery whether Leng Yunting is ultimately qualified to obtain this huge family fortune.

The best outcome would be that the family property would be 70% and 30% with his eldest brother taking 70% and his eldest brother taking 30%. But if he doesn't live up to expectations...

It is possible that all these properties will fall into Leng Baiyao's hands.

Leng Yunting's performance in recent years has continuously disappointed the old man. Leng Chengye's request to Chi Ke has changed from assisting him wholeheartedly to just watching and taking notes:

If two brothers want to fight, don't interfere. Just let them fight and see what their abilities are. You can provide them with help when necessary. Just don't let anyone die.

At this point, Chi Ke asked cryptically: "How can I contact you?"

The subtext is: Do I come in the open, or is it Mission: Impossible?

The old man asked back: "Can I trust your ability?"

The reason why he didn't reveal his relationship with Chi Ke in the past was that he was afraid that the two grandsons would put on airs in front of him. The original owner was young at the time and probably couldn't see through the truth.

The original owner did indeed hide his identity very well.

Leng Baiyao has not had any contact with him, and Leng Yunting is still unaware of anything.

I thought he was a student arranged by my grandfather in college, and that he was very kind to me by getting the job at Xingmian Entertainment. He was called away today because of the few million he transferred from his card.

But tonight, the old man's attitude changed.

Because Chi Ke said, "I thought these documents were exam papers."

After hearing this, the old man laughed so hard that he almost woke up the sleeping birds outside the window.

"You're so smart, how did you end up like this these years?" The old man laughed, "Will you add fuel to the fire?"

It was difficult for Chi Ke to describe the uncontrollable joy he felt in his heart after hearing these words.

Even though it's not very glorious to admit.

But he is indeed a man who enjoys watching the fun and no matter how much trouble he gets.

If he were asked to get involved in the game, he might not be happy about it, but if he were asked to sit in the dark and watch the fight, he would be very good at it, very comfortable with it, and would enjoy it very much.

But he didn't have the bad taste to take the initiative to stir up trouble. At most, he took a ticket with the best viewing position and said, "If it's what you want to see, you can."

"Then let them perform the palace fighting drama in front of me." The old man said, "What you have done in the past few years is too embarrassing, and I don't want to bring up the cause and effect to recognize you. Come back to the family dinner on New Year's Eve this year, and I will give you a legitimate identity to work for me."

…

Chi Ke stayed here until after two in the morning before going to the guest room to rest, exhausted both physically and mentally.

Not long after, the housekeeper brought disposable toiletries. He was very sleepy, so he simply packed up and lay down.

As a result, I closed my eyes and suddenly remembered something before going to sleep.

He seemed to have sent a message to Ji Qian saying that he would contact him after meeting the old man.

Three o'clock in the morning is already late at night. I got up early today and had a lot of things to do. I have to work overtime. I have to get up early to go to work tomorrow...

Chi Ke lay flat for five minutes, sighed softly, turned over and touched his cell phone.

Ji Qian has a hospital under his control, and the Ji family has a lot of troubles to deal with, so they probably went to bed early.

He edited the Leng family's affairs into an easy-to-understand document according to the timeline and character relationships, and sent it all over with one click.

This person doesn't have the habit of turning his cell phone to silent mode, so if the phone rings with an incoming message, it might wake him up.

Surprisingly, before he put down his phone, he received a reply from the other side.

[The Great Gitzby: /surprised/]

[The Great Gitzby: More than 6,000 words, how big is this? Can you really let me read it for free? ]

[The Great Gitzby: But I'm a little sleepy now, so I can only watch it while I'm at work tomorrow morning. You go to sleep first, and I'll have finished it when you wake up.]

[The Great Gitzby: I'm glad that the old man of the Leng family didn't bother you. You should sleep well tonight~]

[The Great Gitzby: /goodnight.jpg/]

Chi Ke turned off his phone, turned over and closed his eyes.

A bird came from nowhere at the door and cooed a few times.

Chi Ke opened his eyes again, turned over, and unlocked his phone again.

【k: Good night. 】

…

"Did you stay up all night last night?"

Leng Baiyao was extremely confused. He wasn’t that shocked when he first raised a panda as a child.

You know, Ji Qian has the most regular schedule among the people he knows. He goes to bed before midnight, and even if he doesn't want to get up in the morning, he won't stay in bed for too long. He also exercises, eats...

Any one of them will be the favorite of the grandpa and aunt.

What happened today?

I've never seen such dark circles under this person's eyes.

"Hmm..." Ji Qian lay on the table, dying, "I couldn't sleep. I didn't go to bed until after six."

"Are you worried?" Leng Baiyao was a little worried. You know, he had known this man for more than a year, but he had never seen him suffer from insomnia. "What's wrong?"

Ji Qian suddenly sat up: "He said..."

Leng Baiyao: "What?"

Ji Qian: "Good night."

Leng Baiyao: “???”

Leng Baiyao didn't react: "What?"

"Oh, forget it, forget it. I knew it would be useless to tell you." Ji Qian waved his hand, "I'll think about it myself."

Leng Baiyao: "..."

Leng Baiyao didn't know what Ji Qian was thinking, but that didn't stop him from scolding him: "Do you think clearly? Just think about it."

"Just kidding," Ji Qian was extremely confident, "Is this a difficult problem? Is there anything you can't figure out?"

Some problems are actually not that complicated, it is humans who make them complicated.

Putting aside the interfering factors, what does the fact that “Chi Ke sent him a good night message” essentially mean?

It means that they can now say good morning and good night to each other!

have a look.

How simple?

Great, Ji Qian. You figured this out in just one night. You're indeed a top student.

Ji Qian picked up the phone excitedly.

Leng Baiyao: "Don't laugh, I'm scared."

Like crazy.

"You are so dark and damp that you can't stand seeing me laugh?" Ji Qian was too lazy to look at him and quickly poked the phone screen with his fingers.

[The Great Gitzby: Good morning~]

[The Great Gitzby: Good morning, good morning, good morning, good morning! ]

[The Great Gitzby: /sun/x99]

After a while, the other side replied.

【k:? 】

【K: Are you crazy? 】

Ji Qian: “Tsk.”

Why is there no reply of "Good morning"?

Aren’t they in a relationship where they can just say good morning and good night to each other?

Is it just "good night"?

Leng Baiyao, who was watching the face-changing drama nearby, suddenly asked, "Why aren't you smiling? Have you become as dark and damp as me?"

Ji Qian said woodenly: "I am not born to like to laugh."

He didn't give up and continued to send harassing messages.

[The Great Gitzby: /angry/]

【The Great Gitzby: Good morning! Good morning! 】

【k：. 】

【k: Good morning. 】

【k: Good morning, good morning, good morning, good morning! 】

【k:/sun/x99】

Ji Qian: “Hey!”

Leng Baiyao looked like an old man on the subway: "...Are you really not considering making some contribution to the psychiatric department of your hospital?"
