Chapter 135: Heart but not strength
Three months before the Shen Group's incident, its shares declined. Shen Zhichu had thought about this outcome, but she was too afraid that what she thought would come true, so she ignored it again and again.
For four years, she thought she had grasped the delusion of her life, but in fact, Li Jingshen had been using her.
He demanded her blood for four years and devoured Shen step by step.
Thinking about the occurrence of such an ironic incident, I really don’t know whether this man is too heartless and ungrateful, or this woman is too stupid.
"When I first took over Shen's, the old shareholders lectured me, saying I wasn't tactful enough, too aggressive, and always stubborn, which easily offended people. I listened but never made any changes." Shen Zhichu breathed slowly and heavily. After letting out a sigh, he said bitterly, "I regret it now."
Li Jingshen followed up her words and asked, "What do you regret?"
"I regret that I was too stubborn and didn't know how to adapt, which blocked all my escape routes. If I hadn't met you and forced you to get married, the result might have been completely different." Shen Zhichu's tone was heavy and sad, and he seemed to have accepted his fate.
She was unwilling and hated herself for not having enough strength.
Li Jingshen's expression changed, he said nothing but just stared at Shen Zhichu.
"Chen Xiuli stopped me today and said that if he had taken over the Shen family, the Shen family might not have ended up like this today."
Li Jingshen sneered meaningfully: "He is quite confident. If he had taken over the Shen family, the Shen family might have been gone five years ago."
Shen Zhichu supported her chin and gently pressed her lipstick-coated lips together.
If she hadn't heard what Chen Xiuli said today, she would have almost forgotten that she used to be so powerful, invincible, and lived a proud and free life.
But when did she become like this? She had lost her pride and self-esteem.
After marrying Li Jingshen, she lost herself and the sharp sword became covered with rust.
Shen Zhichu's mind gradually flew away. The beef in front of him was already cold. Li Jingshen called the waiter to replace it and ordered porridge again, seafood porridge, both with Australian lobster.
"Is your stomach problem caused by your tendency to daydream while eating?"
Li Jingshen's voice woke up Shen Zhichu. Shen Zhichu stared at the porridge in front of him and stirred it with a spoon.
"Li Jingshen I want to work."
Li Jingshen seemed to have heard something funny and sneered, "Which company wants you?"
Shen Zhichu couldn't be found before, and now the outside world has revealed that she suffers from mental illness. No matter how strong Shen Zhichu was back then, no company would want a mentally ill person now.
Shen Zhichu lowered her head and drank a mouthful of hot porridge, rubbing the bowl with her fingertips, her eyes lowered as if she was thinking about something. After a while, she said: "Didn't you say before that I could go to work in your company?"
This surprised Li Jingshen: "Are you willing now?"
"It's better than being a deadbeat at home. Is there any position I can choose?"
Shen Zhichu has that ability, and Li Jingshen always admires capable people: "What do you want to do?"
"Isn't the land you bought today going to be developed into an amusement park? Let me take full responsibility for this project. What do you think?" Chen Zhichu paused and said calmly, "Besides, isn't this piece of land already in my name?"
I thought that such a big project might take Li Jingshen a few days to consider given his meticulous mind, but I didn't expect him to nod and agree immediately.
"Can."
Shen Zhichu felt like she was dreaming. She touched her earlobe, scooped up some porridge and drank a few more mouthfuls. Her stomach was a little sore after vomiting, and Shen Zhichu felt full after just two bites.
Li Jingshen said: "I will arrange a few people to follow you."
Shen Zhichu understood that Li Jingshen was not very confident in her. On the surface, he arranged for a few people to help her deal with things, but in fact, he did so to monitor her.
Li Jingshen thought too highly of her. She didn't have the same means as him, nor did she have that much time.
What she had to do was very simple. Qin's accident happened because of her, so she had to take on this project and cooperate with Qin.
Shen Zhichu replied calmly: "Okay."
……….
Shen Zhichu was very quiet after getting in the car and didn't say anything about the next work.
The night view of Chengdu is very beautiful. The reinforced concrete ground is set off by neon lights, shining like stars. Thousands of lights and rows of street lamps illuminate the way home.
There was soothing music playing in the car, and she was staring intently outside the car, fascinated.
I don’t know how long I can enjoy this night view. The summer in Chengdu is very short. I feel like I was still wearing short-sleeved shirts just two days ago, but now I have to put on a coat, especially at night. When the car window is opened, the cold wind blows in and it feels very cold.
She couldn't help but shudder, and her back and shoulders suddenly felt warm. She turned her head and looked over. Li Jingshen took off his suit jacket and put it on her.
Li Jingshen drank some wine, and his usually cold eyes now seemed to be filled with wine, making him look intoxicated.
