Chapter 241: Caring for the Sick 2

"Should I thank you for the compliment?" Shen Yu said.

"That's not necessary."

He Tingzhou was originally going to the company. He wore a dark grey suit with a long trench coat of the same colour. His black hair was casually pulled back, and his laziness revealed an innate dignity.

He took off his windbreaker nonchalantly, as if he was walking into his own house: "I'm being sarcastic, can't you hear me?"

Seeing that he wanted to stay, Shen Yu walked back to the living room: "I'm not feeling well, so I won't entertain you. Please make yourself at your own convenience."

"You're welcome. The virus in your home is more enthusiastic than you." He Tingzhou threw the medicine he bought from the pharmacy to him and said, "Take the medicine."

Shen Yu rubbed his temples, which were aching from a splitting headache, read the instructions on the medicine, took two pills from the medicine board, and then looked up at him.

He Tingzhou had already sat down on the single sofa opposite, his long legs wrapped in straight trousers folded lazily, and his sitting posture was even more leisurely than his.

Our eyes met in the air, you looked at me and I looked at you.

After staring at each other for a few seconds, Shen Yu said, "I need water."

He Tingzhou seemed not to understand the instructions of a patient with a high fever. He crossed his legs, took out a financial magazine from the magazine rack and started reading: "Go and pour it. Bring me a cup too."

Expecting this lazy prince to take care of everything is obviously wishful thinking.

For a person with a high fever of 39 degrees, moving is a laborious task. Opening the door for him has almost exhausted Shen Yu's physical strength. Flu always has a cycle, and there is no rush for the medicine at this time. He put the medicine down, picked up the phone, and planned to deal with the news he missed while sleeping.

After handing over the company's affairs to the secretary, he called Shuang Xu back.

"Xiaojiu."

He Tingzhou stopped flipping through the magazine.

Shen Yu's voice was very hoarse, but his tone was very gentle: "It's okay, it's not serious, don't worry."

He Tingzhou turned a page of the magazine in his hand, but his eyes were fixed on Shen Yu.

Not knowing what was said on the other side, Shen Yu glanced at him and said, "He is here with me. He bought me some medicine and poured me a glass of water."

“…”

He Tingzhou let out a light click of the tongue.

The next second, she put the magazine on the coffee table, stood up, took the phone from his hand, put it to her ear, and walked towards the bar: "Your brother is fine, he's full of energy. Go and do your own thing."

He took a cup of warm water and brought it to Shen Yu. Shen Yu took it and drank the medicine with the water.

"Thank you."

"What are you thanking me for? You fought for this yourself." He Tingzhou sneered, "You're complaining to your sister. Are you 32 or 3.2 years old?"

"31." Shen Yu corrected, "I haven't had my birthday yet."

Shen Yu had a severe headache. It would be rude to leave the guests here and go back to his room to sleep, so he simply lay down on the sofa to rest.

He Tingzhou glanced at his watch and picked up the magazine again.

The magazine was quite boring. In less than five minutes he reached the end, closed it, put it back, and picked up a new one.

Perhaps it was the pain, or perhaps it was because there was a statue of a god standing next to him, but Shen Yu couldn't fall asleep. His stomach, which hadn't eaten for more than ten hours, began to ache slightly.

Seeing that He Tingzhou had no intention of leaving, Shen Yu didn't bother to be polite with him: "I'm hungry."

He Tingzhou didn't even lift his eyelids: "Go to sleep. You won't be hungry when you fall asleep."

"I'm too hungry to sleep."

"Why, do you need me to knock you out and help you fall asleep?"

Shen Yu said: "I don't mind, just find a way to explain it to Xiao Jiu."

He's got a hold of him.

He Tingzhou narrowed his eyes, picked up his phone and called to order food, but suddenly paused for half a second and changed his mind: "No thanks."

After hanging up the phone, he raised his lower lip meaningfully to Shen Yu, and his attitude changed 180 degrees: "What would you like to eat, my distinguished patient?"

Shen Yu was not picky: "Plain porridge is fine."

The double success of Xiao Feiniao's reputation and sales volume successfully opened up the market for Feixue. After two years of dormancy, Feixue Technology ushered in its golden period of vigorous development.

The downfall of the Zheng family directly led to the bankruptcy of Chen Xing and the dismantling of the company's assets. The old employees who left with Chen Peiran found Feixue when they were desperate.

They followed Chen Peiran to Chen Xing but were marginalized and could not enter the core departments of Chen Xing. The various favorable treatments promised to them were also reneged on for various reasons. Now that Chen Xing has gone bankrupt, they have not even received the compensation they deserved.

When Shuang Xu rushed to the company, a group of people were crying in front of Shu Yang, telling them how difficult their lives were.

"I couldn't even afford the tuition for my daughter's international school, so I discussed with my wife about transferring her back to a regular primary school. When she heard about it, she burst into tears."

"My father's health has not been good in recent years. He has to go to the hospital every now and then. The money is very expensive. He was hospitalized again a few days ago. The hospital bill was paid by my sister-in-law's living expenses saved from her summer job."

"I have been in arrears on my mortgage for three months. If I cannot pay it back, the bank will repossess my house."

"Yes, Mr. Shu, the company is in need of people right now. Instead of recruiting interns with no experience and training them from scratch, it is better to hire us, the old employees who know you well. Think about it, we have been with you since the beginning of the business, you can't forget the old friendship."

Shu Yang's head was throbbing with pain from their crying. They used their old feelings to pressure her and used the morals of the elders in the family to blackmail her, as if she owed them something.

She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Shuang Xu come in and was about to speak.

Shuang Xu is the youngest in the entire conference room. She has delicate features and the temperament of a daughter of a wealthy family. At first glance, she seems young and easy to talk to, but in fact, as she stands there with an expressionless face, she has a strong aura.

The moment he opened his mouth, he felt pressured: "Boss Shu, I remember I warned you that there is a lot of confidential information in the company and that no outsiders are allowed to visit casually. Why did you knowingly violate it?"

Xiao Liao and Lao Li were both stunned, wondering what was going on.

Shu Yang quickly took over the role, slammed the table and stood up: "How can you talk like that? What do you mean by idle people waiting? These are all my former employees, they are all my own people. As for people, old ones are still the best. New employees still need training. We are so busy now, how can we have the time to spare? Today I will make the decision and let them all come back to work!"

Shuang Xu sneered: "Have you forgotten that Chen Peiran took away all the cash on the company's books and you couldn't even pay your salaries? I invested and bought 50% of the shares. Now I am the company's major shareholder, what can you do?"

"How abominable!" Shu Yang said bitterly, "You took advantage of my critical illness to sideline me. Now you control everything in the company. As the executive vice president, I don't have any real power at all. Don't I even have the right to sign a few old employees?"

Shuang Xu said loudly: "I am in charge of the company's personnel affairs. I have the final say on who to hire."

Shu Yang was so angry that he was furious: "You have the final say on everything. I can't even work overtime at the company. I even need your permission to put a potted plant in the office. You are really going too far!"

Frost Preface: “…”

You are too immersed in the role, senior.

This fierce power struggle among partners successfully frightened the gang.

For a moment, everyone looked at each other and the hypocritical crying stopped.

This young lady is a celebrity in Yancheng. Who here hasn't heard of her name? The little sister that Master Shen holds in his palm and the newlywed wife of the Crown Prince of the He family, she has caused a bloody storm in Yancheng in less than half a year since she returned to the country. She is at least half responsible for the collapse of the Zheng family mansion. Who wouldn't be afraid of such a trick?

Shu Yang devotes himself to scientific research every day, and he can't even compete with Chen Peiran, so how can he compete with a rich lady with a powerful background?

The leading man moved his butt and turned to Shuang Xu, knowing the situation: "Well, Mr. Shuang, we are all old employees of Feixue, and we have experience in the company's business and management. We were deceived by Mr. Chen when we left. He is a scumbag! If we could not afford the penalty for breach of contract, we would have wanted to come back a long time ago."

"When you wanted to come back, you were marginalized in Chenxing. The benefits and better career development that Chen Peiran promised you were all in vain. If you had done well, would you still be sitting here today? Once unfaithful, you will never be faithful again. Even a six-year-old child knows this."

Shuang Xu was straightforward and sharp, "I don't have any so-called old relationship with you guys, so don't play the emotional card with me."

The other party insisted: "After all, we are the veterans of the company. Even if we have no merits, we have worked hard..."

Shuang Xu was unmoved: "Feixue has only been established for less than four years. How can a three-year-old be called a veteran? If you count, then the company's current employees are also veterans. All employees are veterans, and loyal ones are of course more valuable than those who are unfaithful."

The other party was speechless, his face turning greener and greener.

Shuang Xu added, "But what you said does make sense. It has not been easy for Feixue to get to where it is now. We should be most grateful to the old employees for sticking with us. That is why we doubled everyone's year-end bonus last year. This was originally an internal matter of our company, but since you seem to be very concerned, it doesn't hurt to tell you. Oh, by the way, the top priority for the company's personnel this year is to gradually increase everyone's salary."

Double the year-end bonus! Salary increase for all employees!

Those people's eyes almost popped out of their heads. When they compared the two rooms, they regretted it deeply.

Shuang Xu put his hands in his coat pockets, looking very cool. He tilted his head slightly and told Xiao Liao, "Please ask her to leave. Send Ms. Shu back as well. Let her go home and reflect on herself."

Shu Yang:?

"Okay, boss!" Xiao Liao stepped forward and held Shu Yang. "Go, go, go, you loser!"

Shu Yang: “…”

Shen Yu seldom cooks at home, and there are limited ingredients in the refrigerator, so He Tingzhou specially asked someone to send fresh ingredients over. He cooked white porridge in a clay pot, soaked morels in water and made steamed eggs, and cooked spare ribs with green plum sauce, which was sweet and sour.

There was also the refreshing braised loofah with shrimp, stir-fried spinach with fresh cordyceps flowers, and steamed oranges with salt.

For a patient with a high fever who had no appetite, this table was too sumptuous.

It was supposed to be breakfast, but it was almost noon when he finished. Shen Yu, who was so hungry that he was almost unconscious, sat at the dining table and remained silent for a long time.

“Should I be moved?”

He Tingzhou wiped his hands with a towel and said frankly: "Do as you please, no one cares anyway."

Shen Yu picked up his chopsticks and enjoyed this hospital meal that was not prepared for him: "Then I won't thank you anymore."

One has to admit that He Tingzhou's cooking skills are surprisingly good. Shen Yu originally had no appetite, but these dishes were refreshing and appetizing. A little olive oil was added to the white porridge to increase the flavor, so he ate a little more without realizing it.

When a person is sick, he needs to replenish nutrition the most. After eating a hot meal, Shen Yu's pale and sickly face looked better.

After Shuang Xu finished dealing with the company's affairs, he hurried to Shen Yu's apartment. It was He Tingzhou who opened the door. He had taken off his suit, rolled up his shirt sleeves to his elbows, and was still wearing an apron, looking like a good family man.

Shuang Xu was surprised to see him dressed like this: "You cooked for my brother?"

He Tingzhou said in his usual nonchalant tone: "I wear an apron simply because it looks good."

Shuang Xu knew his eldest master's temper better than anyone else. Apart from her, when had he ever served anyone else? Even if a knife was placed on his neck, he would not necessarily be willing to cook for others.

"Actually, you can just ask the hotel to deliver a meal."

He Tingzhou said gently: "After all, he is your brother, I should take care of him."

When she walked in and saw the large table of dishes that were obviously prepared with great care, she was even more surprised and moved.

"Brother, are you feeling better?"

It's a shame not to give a five-star review at this time.

Shen Yu glanced at He Tingzhou meaningfully: "Thanks to Tingzhou's care, I'm much better now."

Shuang Xu looked back at He Tingzhou, her eyes sparkling with emotion. She hugged He Tingzhou and took the initiative to kiss him: "I love you so much."

He Tingzhou hugged the person naturally, curled his lips, met Shen Yu's eyes, and raised his eyebrows lazily.

Shen Yu coughed twice, stood up and left the dining table, returning to the bedroom: "I won't see you two off."
