Chapter 70 The Dog That Was Proud

Chen Jingyang slowly bit his tongue, suppressing the urge to turn against Chen Qishan.

He's 22 years old, not 10!

At the age of 10, he didn't know how to be patient or how to assess the situation. He only knew how to seek revenge and got nothing in return except for being beaten up.

Over the years, he has lived alone abroad, growing from a 10-year-old child into a 20-year-old youth. Life has brought him a lot of hardship, but it has also taught him a lot.

The cooperation with Zenti has not officially started yet, and now is the most critical time. He cannot afford to cause any trouble at this juncture. He needs a stable rear and the resources of the Chen family, so he cannot afford to break ties with Chen Qishan now.

"Did you understand?!"

"......Understood."

Chen Qishan's eyes flashed with a sharp light. Although the saying "no one knows a son better than his father" didn't quite apply to him and Chen Jingyang, he could still discern from Chen Jingyang's expression what the kneeling person was thinking!

Do you want to play the "revenge is a dish best served cold" game with him?

Let's give it a try!

“You haven’t called me Dad since your mother passed away. I had an obligation to support you until you turned 18, but you’ll be 23 next year and you still won’t call me Dad. Since that’s the case, you don’t need to collect your monthly allowance anymore!”

If you don't want to claim it, then don't!

Anyway, his annual salary at Tanzhi is enough to live on, and he only has one dog, Zhang Pengfei, so if he's frugal, he can still afford to keep it!

Once Tanzhi goes public, Chen Qishan won't need to kick him out of the house; he'll leave on his own!

I've had enough of this so-called home a long, long time ago!

After finishing his cigarette, Chen Qishan stood up and stood next to Chen Jingyang, glancing at him: "Chen Jingyang, let me make this clear, this is the last time you'll enter the study. Today is New Year's Eve, and I don't want to see blood, so I won't hit you. But if you dare to disobey again, we'll see you in the ancestral hall! If you think I'm bluffing you, just think about the second son!"

Only when someone is expelled from the family is it necessary to enter the ancestral hall!

After being expelled from the family, the second son only lived for three months before falling into the river and drowning!

Chen Qishan has more than a dozen children, some of whom are well-behaved and sensible!

"Kneel here and think it over carefully. Tomorrow morning when we offer New Year's greetings, I'll be waiting to hear how you address me!"

Sometimes Chen Jingyang couldn't help but wonder if the violent genes in his bones were inherited from Chen Qishan!

But whatever the Chen family gives him, whether good or bad, he has to accept!

There are surveillance cameras installed in all four corners of the study, providing all-round, no-blind-spot monitoring. If the student doesn't kneel down properly as punishment, it's a pure challenge to the family rules!

Chen Jingyang thought to himself that he was not yet qualified to challenge the family rules.

He was no stranger to the "sport" of being forced to kneel, and could even be said to be very familiar with it.

When he used to have dogs, he would always punish them by making them kneel when they made mistakes. Those in the dog-raising circle who were strict and ruthless would make the dogs kneel even if they hadn't done anything wrong. In short, it was a very effective way to humiliate and destroy their self-esteem.

He understood, so being forced to kneel as punishment wasn't a big deal.

But when the night is deep and quiet, kneeling alone in the cold room, with my limbs restricted, my thoughts inevitably become more active.

He misses his dog!

Once the Spring Festival holiday is over, Zhang Pengfei should be able to go back to work at Tanzhi soon. He was too busy recently and didn't have time for anything else. Moreover, Zhang Pengfei made a big mistake, and if he isn't put on hold for a while, he might not learn his lesson.

He was afraid that if he saw Zhang Pengfei, he would be unable to resist being nice to him, and then the dog would look at him with teary eyes, and he would forget all about any punishment.

Just as he was thinking this, his phone rang in his pocket, and Chen Jingyang's spirits lifted—it was 10 o'clock!

He quickly took out his phone.

Although looking at his phone while being punished by kneeling carries the risk of disregarding family rules, he is currently in charge of the food and drink of hundreds of people, and he cannot afford to delay if there is an emergency. Therefore, even if Chen Qishan knows, he will turn a blind eye.

Zhang Pengfei's daily report arrived a little earlier than usual today, but it still followed his usual style, detailing what time he went, where he did what, and what the result was. However, at the end, he raised a very practical question that gave Chen Jingyang a real headache.

He asked Chen Jingyang: If my mother can be discharged from the hospital in six months, can I rent a place to live on my own?

Dou Qiaoyun has been in the hospital for more than half a year since the car accident in May. Although the recovery process is slow, she cannot stay in the hospital for the rest of her life.

But once Dou Qiaoyun is discharged from the hospital, she will definitely need a place to live, and the two-bedroom apartment he is currently renting will definitely not be enough.

Furthermore, if he were to live with Dou Qiaoyun, how would he continue his relationship with Zhang Pengfei?

Hua Hua is too young to understand these things, so she can just make something up to fool everyone. But Dou Qiaoyun is an adult!

Furthermore, Dou Qiaoyun is very concerned about Zhang Pengfei's marriage. Even before he has graduated, she is already worrying about when she can help him take care of his child. In another six months, Zhang Pengfei will graduate...

Chen Jingyang put his phone back in his pocket, sighed slightly, and fell into deep thought. But even when it was time to go and wish Chen Qishan a Happy New Year, he still couldn't come up with a satisfactory solution.

What a bad start to the new year!

On the ninth day of the first lunar month, the first working day after the Spring Festival holiday, an internship recruitment notice gradually gained traction on the website.

The internship benefits, which far exceeded those of similar positions, attracted many college graduates, and in just three days, thousands of resumes were received.

Li Huina knocked on the door and came in, placing the coffee beside Chen Jingyang. Just as she was about to leave, Chen Jingyang suddenly asked her, "Is the intern selection process over yet?"

Li Huina frowned slightly. Chen Jingyang was so busy with work, why did he suddenly want to ask about the interns?

"It's over. The results are scheduled to be announced tomorrow."

"Bring it here so I can take a look."

"Oh!" Has the sun risen in the west? He usually doesn't even bother looking at the shortlisted resumes for mid-level management positions, but this year he's actually looking at the intern list?!

Chen Jingyang's eyes swept across the list, and when he saw Zhang Pengfei's name, he checked the information without making a sound. After confirming that it was indeed Zhang Pengfei and not someone with the same name, a faint smile appeared on his lips.

What is he worried about? His dog is so outstanding, how could it possibly fail the initial screening of a resume!

He handed the list to Li Huina: "Take it."

Li Huina took it and asked with some concern, "President Chen, is there... nothing you need to explain?"

"No."

He knew Zhang Pengfei's temperament; the man was very proud, and forcing him to come to Tanzhi was already going too far. If he were to secretly sabotage things, Zhang Pengfei would definitely become even more resistant once he found out. It was better to just let him do what he wanted.

Moreover, he believed that Zhang Pengfei could do very well at Tanzhi even without his help.

Not just at Tanzhi, he'll do well anywhere!

This is Chen Jingyang's dog, the dog he is so proud of!
