Chapter 78: Love Bodyguards are on guard against people just like they are against perverts. It goes without saying...
It was almost ten o'clock, and the Shen's office building was still brightly lit. The bright high-rise building stood out in the darkness.
The internal phone in the president's office rang once and was answered.
"Okay, I'll send it over now." The person who answered the phone was Mandy from the president's office.
Recently, Shen's Jiangrun Real Estate is in full swing preparing for the first phase of the land auction project for the core plot of the main city. Shen Qianfan attaches great importance to it and has taken the lead in working overtime in recent days. As a result, all departments are working together.
Mandy had just taken the project book when her personal phone rang at an inopportune time.
Xuan Qing had sharp ears, and her nimble fingers gradually slowed down their typing on the keyboard. She clearly heard that it was a call from Mandy's nanny. Her three-year-old son had a sudden high fever and was rushed to the hospital. As a single mother, Mandy was naturally extremely anxious.
Xuan Qing thought that this great opportunity must not be missed, so he pretended to get up to print, but actually took the opportunity to show concern.
"What's wrong, Sister Mandy? You don't look well. Did something happen?"
No matter how decisive a female boss may have been in the past, she will lose her composure once she has a family problem.
"I'm fine. It's just that Xiaobao... I don't know what he ate wrong. He has a high fever and is vomiting non-stop. He keeps crying for mom."
"Then you have to go." Xuan Qing put his arm around her frail back, glancing at the photo of the two of them on the table. A sly glint flashed through his half-lidded eyes. "I'll take care of the rest of the work."
"There's not much work left." Mandy cheered up again, "It's just the project book that Mr. Shen assigned..."
"If you trust me, I'll deliver it for you."
After successfully obtaining the project document, Xuan Qing took advantage of the fact that no one was around and flipped over to the section that listed the reserve price...
Ten minutes later, two unhurried knocks on the door echoed in the air.
"Enter."
The door to the president's office opened.
Shen Qianfan was answering the phone, holding the phone to his ear in one hand and signing with a pen in the other. He was not wearing a tie, and his shirt and slicked-back hair remained meticulous at this point. It is worth mentioning that he was not wearing those gold-rimmed glasses today, and his naked eyes looked even sharper. He took the time to glance at the tall figure who pushed the door open and continued to say to the other end: "Well, at the company."
I don’t know what the other party said again.
"Okay, come up."
He was still very frugal with his words, but his tone was obviously much softer.
Xuan Qing was holding the documents, standing two meters away with his head lowered. He could guess who was on the other end of the phone without even listening. However, the rumored rising star in the business world turned out to be a hidden treasure boy.
"Mr. Shen, here's the project book you requested."
Shen Qianfan took it and looked at her: “Why is it you?”
Xuan Qing said calmly, "Sister Mandy has an emergency at home, and I'm the only one left in the CEO's office."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work, you go first..."
Before he finished speaking, there was a "click" sound, and a hot stream slid across his philtrum and dripped onto the cover of the document, forming a striking bright red dot.
Xuan Qing noticed the situation first and kindly reminded him, "You seem to be... bleeding from the nose..."
Shen Qianfan realized it later and looked down to see that his shirt was stained with a shocking red. He wiped it with his fingers, and the glaring red came into his vision. He blinked before accepting the fact.
The liquid in the nasal cavity flowed more and more, faster and faster. Xuan Qing tore off a few pieces of paper and handed them over: "Boss Shen, please wipe it first."
After a brief tinnitus, Shen Qianfan finally remembered to look up and took the tissue that was handed to him to cover his nostrils. He waved to Xuan Qing to indicate that everything was fine. He wanted to send her out first, but changed his mind and said, "Secretary Xuan, please help me find a new shirt in the lounge."
After receiving the order, Xuan Qing turned around and ran into the exclusive lounge in her high heels without delay. There was a temporary wardrobe next to the two-meter Simmons bed. Without time to choose, she picked up a very eye-catching black shirt from a row of pure white shirts, which was not often worn by Shen Qianfan.
When she came out again, the bloody spot on the table had been cleaned up by Shen Qianfan. From Xuan Qing's perspective, he was leaning back in his boss's chair, his chin raised, one hand still holding a tissue to his nose. There was no trace of blood, but it seemed that the bleeding had stopped temporarily. She shook her head, concentrating on thinking, why did he suddenly start bleeding from the nose? Could he be suffering from inflammation? Should she take her boss to the hospital for humanitarian reasons?
Thinking of this, Xuan Qing slowly approached with the new shirt hanging on his arm.
A black figure covered his peripheral vision. Shen Qianfan's Adam's apple rolled, and his lips slowly moved: "Secretary Xuan..."
Xuan Qing automatically blocked out the rest of the conversation, her eyes staring at the man involuntarily. Two buttons on her collar were undone, and her Adam's apple was clearly visible. The sound of her voice was moving. A vague voice in her brain urged her to unbutton Shen Qianfan's clothes. Just as she unbuttoned the first button, the one at her collarbone, a strong hand wrapped around her wrist.
"What are you doing?"
His tone of voice was usually emotionless, but this time it gave people the feeling of being warned for no reason.
"Don't you want to change clothes?" Xuan Qing blurted out.
"I can change it myself."
Shen Qianfan glanced at her sideways, describing her facial features without any concealment. It was not easy to fool her, and his eyes were mixed with some temptation.
Xuan Qing accepted it all, looking up and down at him with innocent eyes, as if solving his problems was her duty, including now.
The long standoff was interrupted by an impolite knock on the door.
Shen Qianfan's expression was stern. He did not show any panic because of the sudden accident outside the door. Instead, the strength of the clamp on the woman's wrist increased instead of decreasing. Xuan Qing frowned slightly. When she was unable to bear it and was about to give up, the challenge suddenly stopped. Shen Qianfan let go and stood up, taking the clothes hanging on his arm, and walked away with his back to someone to change clothes.
It goes without saying that we are on guard against someone just like we are on guard against perverts.
Xuan Qing shook her wrist, angry but not daring to say anything. The matter was not over yet, she still had to find a way to hold the young master outside the door.
Before he took two steps, Shen Qianfan’s voice came from behind him: “What happened tonight, keep it secret.”
Xuan Qing turned his head, his dissatisfaction frozen on his face. The man's back was very white, the kind that comes from not getting any sun exposure for years, so the crisscrossing old scars covering most of his skin were particularly eye-catching.
Seeing no response, Shen Qianfan warned again: “Don’t tell Qian Shu.”
Xuan Qing felt his eyes lose focus for a moment, then focused again after a moment of vacancy: "Got it."
Outside the door, Shen Qianshu, whose patience had run out, decided to take another shot. Just as he raised his arm, the door opened from the inside. After seeing who opened the door clearly, his narrow eyes narrowed slightly, thinking for a few seconds, and then raised the corners of his eyes as if to meet someone else: "Secretary Xuan is here too?"
Xuan Qing forced out a perfunctory smile: "Yes, I'm here to report on my work."
Shen Qianshu poked his head in and asked, "Where is our busy Mr. Shen?"
Without waiting for Xuan Qing's answer, he forced his way in as if it were his own home.
Xuan Qing was caught off guard and opened his arms to stop him, but Shen Qianshu was a contrarian. The more he tried to stop him from entering, the more excited he became. The harmonious atmosphere turned into a game of "Eagle Catches Chicken".
Before he could finish his words, the "Chicken" behind him suddenly said, "Secretary Xuan, you've worked hard tonight. Please leave work early and continue the report tomorrow."
After these words came out, Shen Qianshu shrugged proudly and went to look at the chicken in a swagger.
After receiving the secret signal, Xuan Qing breathed a sigh of relief and left. Before leaving, he took the opportunity to glance at the man sitting upright in the middle of the room. It turned out that even the most indestructible person may have a dark side.
Shen Qianshu didn't find anything special after rushing in. The man in front of the computer was still elegant and dignified. He slowed down his pace and leisurely fell on the leather sofa, his arms behind his head and examined the overworked maniac who was obsessed with money: "Have you been so busy these days? So busy that you don't even come home."
Shen Qianfan put on his glasses next to the computer again: "Or am I asking you to come into the company to help just to make fun of you?"
Shen Qianshu had long noticed that something was amiss, and now he finally saw the opportunity to intervene: "Isn't there Secretary Xuan here to work overtime with you late at night?"
The word "accompany you" was pronounced particularly ambiguously.
Shen Qianfan's answer was impeccable: "As an encouragement, the company will give her corresponding overtime pay."
Feeling that communication was impossible, Shen Qianshu simply confronted her: "Don't you have anything else to say to her?"
Shen Qianfan’s dark eyes were deep under the gold-rimmed glasses: “Secretary Xuan’s resume is very impressive.”
So beautiful that it seems like she came prepared.
Shen Qianshu suddenly felt bored. He crossed his legs, rested his hands on his temples, and scrolled through his friends' circle boredly: "I have to say this in advance. Don't count on me. I'm busy."
"Oh, busy racing?"
"That was an accident."
Shen Qianfan flipped open the unfinished work: “What kind of accident, two cars followed you to suffer.”
"I just met a mad dog." Shen Qianshu said lightly.
Hearing this, Shen Qianfan curled his lips slightly. His younger brother has been in the limelight recently, and it is hard not to hear about it. After all, the other party's legal department took the initiative to contact for compensation, which is also a kind of demonstration.
Fangjia and Yike, today's leading real estate companies, can definitely be regarded as Jiangrun's long-standing enemies in a sense.
After signing the last document, Shen Qianfan raised his eyes and fixed his gaze on the sofa, wishing he could get into the brat on the electronic screen.
"Waiting for news from your little deskmate?"
He started meditating, staring at the screen without letting go of his phone. During this time, the phone vibrated twice and he sighed twice. He was just waiting for news.
Shen Qianshu did not deny: “Yeah.”
"It doesn't look like it's going well." Chen Qianfan also casually concluded, not giving him a chance to refute, and only picking out things he didn't want to hear, "Was she beaten to the punch or did she already have someone in her heart? Then what have you been these days? A nice way to say it is to be a love bodyguard, but to be more accurate, you're just rushing to be a backup."
"It would be nice if I could be a spare tire. She never takes me seriously at all and always thinks I'm a little boy who likes to play pranks. Besides, she has an ex-boyfriend who is always pestering her." Shen Qianshu gets a headache whenever Fang Qingzhuo is mentioned, a pain that penetrates his skin and bones.
Shen Qianfan was not a gossipy person, but seeing him with his head drooping, like an eggplant hit by frost, he became interested: "Is her ex-boyfriend very difficult?"
"He's a mean guy who always plays dirty tricks."
Shen Qianfan's heart was as clear as a mirror: "So this is why you don't want to join the Shen family, because of Fang Qingzhuo?"
Facing the gaze cast by Shen Qianfan, Shen Qianshu was speechless for a moment. He racked his brains for a long time but couldn't come up with a decent answer: "That's not the case. I'm not because of him, I..."
"We don't cause trouble, but we're not afraid of it either." Shen Qianfan made the final decision and offered his support. "Don't worry about Fang Qingzhuo or Yuan Qingzhuo. Go after them boldly. I'll cover for you."
The dark night passed silently, and Shen Qianshu's heart surged several times in the process. He opened his mouth to say something, but found that any language seemed extremely pale, and in the end he couldn't say a word.
It was Shen Qianfan who walked up to him and threw a bunch of car keys to him: "I'm touched, I'll give you a chance to show off and send your brother to the airport."
No matter how strong the feelings were, they couldn't help showing off. Shen Qianshu returned to his normal expression and took the car keys thrown into his arms: "Don't you want to go home first?"
Shen Qianfan suppressed the reminder that popped up on his phone: "Pick up the plane, Fei Wei is back."
