Chapter 26 The tail fell out
Teng Su, burdened with worries, finally fell asleep in the middle of the night. The next day, he woke up late as expected. Just as he was about to head to the office, his mother stopped him at the stairs. "Have breakfast first. I made your favorite soup dumplings today."
Just as he was about to reply "No need", he saw that Teng's mother's eyes were slightly red and swollen, and there was a small bump between her eyebrows. Teng Su was stunned for a moment and was pushed into the restaurant by his mother without any preparation.
"Big Teng, don't be so tired. We can work anytime. We need to pay more attention to our physical and mental health. Your Uncle Lu has returned to China recently. How about you two make an appointment to talk?" The Uncle Lu that Grandpa Teng mentioned is a famous foreign psychologist and a tenured professor at a top university in the world.
Father Teng, who had been a hands-off boss for several years, suddenly donned a suit and was adjusting his tie. "Your grandfather is right. I'll take care of the company for you during this time. You should stay home with your mom and grandpa more. If you feel bored, go out with some friends and get some nature. Don't push yourself too hard. We'll take care of everything at home."
"Good morning, big brother." Teng An's eyes were wandering. He looked at the sky, the earth, and breakfast, but he didn't dare to look directly at Teng Su.
Now even a fool can see the problem.
"What did you say again?"
There was a hint of gnashing of teeth in the calm tone, which scared Teng An so much that he hiccupped.
"No—hiccup—no!"
"He eavesdropped on our conversation last night. Grandpa Teng, uncle, and aunt, good morning." Qin Qinsen sat down next to Teng Su and deliberately turned his head to face Teng Su, with a look that said, "Who told you to knock on the door in the middle of the night? I didn't tell you that Teng An was eavesdropping."
"Er Teng, change your clothes next time you eavesdrop. The tails on your plush pajamas are falling out."
Thinking of the dinosaur tail that flashed behind Teng Su last night, Qin Qinsen smiled even more happily, and felt that Teng Anyer was so fresh and unworldly, and extremely cute.
Teng An was extremely embarrassed, "Master Qin..."
"We are all so familiar with each other, why are we being so distant? Call me Xiaosen!" Grandpa Teng slammed the table and started putting buns into the bowls of the three juniors.
"One for Xiao Sen, one for Da Teng, one for Er Teng... Da Teng is the best, so he gets two more. Er Teng has been great at gathering intelligence, so he gets one more..."
Given Teng An's personality, he would definitely tell his family everything he heard. Combined with his rich language skills, this led to the current situation. Teng Su was helpless, "Grandpa, I'm fine."
"If you say it's okay, then it's okay? After breakfast, you can talk to me properly. Xiaosen, please help me keep an eye on him. He's not allowed to go anywhere today."
Hearing this, Father Teng suddenly stopped walking and turned to look at his old father.
"You go to work and protect our Teng family's empire." Grandpa Teng waved his hand and made clear arrangements for Teng's father.
Qin Qinsen was laughing so hard that his buns almost fell off. He finally understood who Teng An inherited his personality from. At this moment, Qin Qinsen swallowed his buns, sensing the strong resentment coming from the side. "Boss Teng, don't keep things to yourself. Talk to your family and friends. Things can always be solved. If you try to handle it alone, there will be no good results."
Staring at the mountain of steamed buns piled high in his bowl, Teng Su suddenly said, "Let me ask you a question. What does the 'heaven' in 'heaven should help it' refer to?"
"Yeah, it can't be that it's really God, right? I haven't seen any evil guy killed by a bolt from the blue." Teng An started to think about his not-so-bright brain, but after thinking hard to no avail, he looked at Qin Qinsen in confusion.
"God helps people, which means people help themselves. If you don't change, God can do nothing about it. Simply put, by starting over with a wrong answer, you can always learn something, remember it, and find the right direction."
Anyway, he didn't believe that Teng Su was reborn after completing his merits, otherwise how could there be the phrase "avenge the previous shame"?
With this premise, it is not difficult to guess that the ending of Teng Su in the previous life, and even the Teng family, was not very good.
"In that case, can it be understood as asking for help from those around you?"
It sounded strange. Qin Qinsen's scalp tightened slightly. Suddenly, a bad premonition emerged. He could only say cautiously, "For you, it's right."
"Teng hopes that Master Qin can join the Teng family and keep a close eye on me at all times to prevent me from making the same mistake."
"No--"
Teng Su was quick to pick up the bun and stuff it into Qin Qinsen's opened mouth, stopping him from saying anything else.
"Master Qin is good at judging people and can communicate with ghosts and gods. In my previous life, I was too conceited and complacent, and without a talented person like Master Qin by my side, I was tricked by others. It doesn't matter if I die, and it doesn't matter if the Teng family changes hands, but they shouldn't hurt my relatives."
"What do you mean?" Mother Teng's eyes welled up. She felt her heart, which had finally calmed down this morning, begin to beat wildly again, as if it wanted to break free from its restraints and leap out. What had her calm and composed son gone through to wake up so cautious and on edge, so tense every day, never able to relax for a moment?
Frightened by his mother's impending tears, Teng Su hurriedly explained, "The things have been sent to Ning'an Temple, and the masters have already taken care of it!"
While trying hard to chew the bun that was forced into his mouth, the light pink tips of Teng Su's ears came into view. Qin Qinsen thought to himself that he must be lying, otherwise who would he show his pinkness to so early in the morning.
"That's good. But speaking of this, Xiao Sen, I still have to trouble you during this period." Grandpa Teng was a little embarrassed. "I know the rules of your industry. Just tell us how much you want. We will definitely not treat you unfairly."
"No, hiss--" Only two words came out, and Qin Qinsen felt a dull pain on the instep of his foot. He frowned and looked at the guy next to him who looked like a human.
"Grandpa, I originally planned to officially hire Master Qin into the Teng Group. The position I arranged was Special Advisor and Special Assistant. According to industry regulations, all the amounts required will be paid as regular bonuses or salaries, which will be easier to explain to the public. I can also pay Master Qin's social security and provident fund, all at the highest level."
"That's right!" Grandpa Teng's face was full of pride, as if his grandson was the most sensible in the world. "Xiao Qin, our troublesome grandson is now in your care. If he does anything wrong, just tell him or scold him. If he doesn't listen, tell me. I'll support you!"
Qin Qinsen: No, Grandpa Teng, what are you talking about? I barely even warmed up to my newly acquired resignation certificate, and your precious grandson has already decided to send me back to continue to work like a slave. Besides, weren't we discussing whether or not to help him "avenge his past humiliation"? Why are you acting like I'm going to marry him? Where's the dignity of me, the 46th generation disciple of the Daoxuan Sect?!
"Master Qin, I'm leaving my eldest brother in your care." The usually lively Teng An now had a serious expression. He raised his teacup, nodded respectfully, and handed it to him. "I'm not very smart, but my eldest brother is my eldest brother. From childhood to adulthood, besides my parents, grandparents, he's the one who has treated me the best. He used to protect us, but now... well, I can't do anything right anyway, and I can't help my eldest brother. From now on... from now on, I hope you will bear with me."
"Master Qin." It was Anxi.
Having been frozen the previous evening, and shocked by the news of Teng Su's rebirth in the middle of the night, and then the ghost demanding his life, Anxi's steps were unsteady and his spirit was obviously weak. After hearing his second brother's confession, he didn't say much, but looked forward with pleading eyes.
Qin Qinsen carefully looked at Teng An, who closed his eyes as if waiting for the verdict. The Teng family members beside him were nervous and expectant, but they could not hide their worries about the unknown.
He sighed, took the teacup, and said leisurely, "It's rare to have such a pure and kind heart. You can do a lot, but the time has not come yet. Your elder brother...tsk, he's so old-fashioned and taciturn."
"Then you agree to join Teng Group?" Teng An's eyes lit up and his face was full of hope.
"uh-huh."
