Chapter 460: Bai Qiujing is out of his league after all
When Father Bai suggested writing a check to test Shen Zhichu, she thought about it and agreed to go with him.
After all, she was an outsider sitting aside and pretended not to care, but in fact, she was so jealous that she wanted Shen Zhichu to really take the five million and leave her brother.
But she knew that Shen Zhichu was not that kind of person. How could her backbone be limited to a mere five million?
But what happened next was completely beyond Bai Wanwan's expectations. She really didn't expect that Shen Zhichu had such a big vest [Executive Director of A.W Group], and he would even give away the entire company for Bai Qiujing.
She was like a clown under a lemon tree, as if she had eaten ten pounds of lemons.
Although her brother is handsome, has a good figure, can cook, has good acting skills, is gentle, and can make money... But he doesn't seem worthy of her elder sister. Her elder sister is a fairy, so how could she fall in love with a mere mortal?
Bai Wanwan was changing clothes while thinking indignantly that there were already more than a dozen pieces of clothes piled on the bed, and none of them looked good. Finally, she changed into a light blue long dress.
She opened the door and saw the servant tidying the room. She walked over and asked, "Mrs. Wu, does this dress look good on me?"
The servant nodded as he looked at it: "It looks good. Wanwan looks good in anything. This blue dress sets off your fair skin very well."
Bai Wanwan blushed at the compliment and spun around with her skirt lifted. "Really?"
"Really? You're dressed so beautifully today. Do you have a boyfriend?"
Bai Wanwan stammered, "It's not my boyfriend. This is much more important than meeting my boyfriend. Then I'll wear this dress tonight and put on some makeup."
Bai Wanwan excitedly turned around and went back to the bedroom to start dressing up. The person in the mirror had fair skin, beautiful peach blossom eyes, long eyelashes with upturned corners, and a slight blink of an eye made her look radiant.
Bai Wanwan was applying lipstick while thinking: Why should his brother get the upper hand? Doesn’t she have the upper hand?
Her brother is just an old man and is not worthy of Chu Jie. Look at her, she looks a bit like Bai Qiujing. After all, they have the same mother and are definitely not inferior in appearance.
If the relationship between women is good, there is no problem holding hands, going to the toilet together, kissing on the cheek, kissing sexually while eating the same food, and sleeping in the same bed at night. If things go on a little later, they may even take a bath together.
…
Bai Wanwan was secretly keeping an eye on things, and Shen Zhichu, who was twenty kilometers away, shuddered.
Bai Qiujing noticed her slight movement out of the corner of his eye, raised his head to look at the air conditioner, and took the remote control to increase the temperature a few degrees.
"Is it cold? How do you feel now?"
"Yeah, much better now."
Bai Qiujing was still worried, so he walked over and touched Shen Zhichu's hand, which was warm.
Seeing that the water in the cup in front of her was almost finished, he took it and filled it with another cup and placed it in front of her.
"Thanks."
"Chu Chu, my dad just called me and hopes you can go to the Bai family for dinner. From his tone, I think he might want to apologize to you. If you have something to do or don't want to go, I'll refuse him."
Shen Zhichu put down the hand holding the cup again: "What is he apologizing for?"
"Didn't he use money to humiliate you last Christmas?"
"It was a misunderstanding, and it happened so long ago, I've forgotten it long ago. And it wouldn't be nice to ask an elder to apologize..."
"What's wrong with that?" Bai Qiujing frowned in disagreement. "If you do something wrong, you should apologize. Why are you spoiling him? My mom made him kneel on the washboard, but I still think it's not enough."
Shen Zhichu had heard Bai Qiujing talk about his father kneeling on the washboard more than once, and every time she heard it, she couldn't help but laugh.
"Then you..." Bai Qiujing paused, then hesitated and asked tentatively, "Will you come home with me today?"
Shen Zhichu nodded: "Okay, I'll go home with you."
Bai Qiujing grinned, his eyes sparkling. "My parents are in Chengdu. We'll drive over when you're done."
Shen Zhichu glanced at her watch. It was three o'clock. She asked, "How long will it take to drive there?"
"Normally, an hour and a half."
"Then I'll finish these documents and leave. If I'm late, I'll get stuck in rush hour."
"Is there anything I can do for you?" Bai Qiujing didn't want Shen Zhichu to be too tired. Shen Zhichu now plays several roles. She is the executive director of [AW Group] and an actor. She is also responsible for the finishing of the film in the later stage, and she still has to share the money.
Bai Qiujing didn't know how Shen Zhichu accomplished all these things.
When Shen Zhichu heard Bai Qiujing say he wanted to help, she thought about it and realized there was nothing she could do. But seeing his worried look, she threw the unimportant documents to him and said, "Then please help me take a look at these. If you are sure there is no problem, please sign and stamp them for me. If there is any problem, please tick them with a pen."
"Okay." Bai Qiujing sorted out the documents. When he finished, Shen Zhichu was still dealing with the pile on her desk. There was a computer in front of her, multitasking, typing on the keyboard with one hand and marking the documents with the other.
It was already four o'clock when Shen Zhichu finished. She put down the pen in her hand and called the secretary to clean up the table.
Bai Qiujing naturally handed over her mask and sunglasses. After seeing Shen Zhichu put on the sunglasses, he adjusted her hair and mask. After making sure that everything was fine, he took her bag in one hand and held her hand tightly with the other.
"Don't you get tired doing so much every day?"
"Are you tired?" Shen Zhichu asked himself this question. It seemed that he had gotten used to it. Now that he was used to it, he didn't feel tired anymore. Instead, he felt it was meaningful. He saw the career he had worked hard for getting better and better, the company getting bigger and bigger, the number of employees increasing, and everything was on the right track.
In just one year, [A. W Group] ranked first in the domestic influence rankings, and its executive director also ranked among the top rich list.
"I'm used to it, Qiu Jing. I really like this kind of life. This is the real me." Shen Zhichu tilted his head and looked at him seriously.
Bai Qiujing knew about Shen Zhichu's past. She was the richest woman in Rongcheng at that time and the eldest daughter of the Shen family, who was more powerful than all the women in Rongcheng.
At that time, Mr. Shen was critically ill and the Shen family was in danger. It was Shen Zhichu who took over for three months and pulled the Shen family back from the "cliff" that was about to fall off the "cliff".
Back then, Shen Zhichu could be said to be unmatched in Rongcheng, even men could not compare to her.
But in the end, she was ruined by a man and died at the age of 27.
Li Jingshen became the dangerous building of her destiny. He easily caused her building to collapse.
After Shen Zhichu's death, there has never been such a stunning woman in Rongcheng again.
Until - Shen Zhichu appeared again, and everyone saw her and suddenly remembered.
There was also a woman named Shen Zhichu back then, who also lived a wonderful life.
Many people began to miss the past Chen Zhichu and think about her.
Bai Qiujing raised his hand and touched the top of her head: "I like you the way you are now, but don't be too tired."
Shen Zhichu shook her head. She could still handle this little bit of pressure. She only slept a few hours a week back then, and the Shen family business she was in charge of was worth tens of billions.
………
When they arrived at Bai's house, when Bai's mother heard that Shen Zhichu was coming today, she quickly asked the people at home to prepare.
As soon as Shen Zhichu entered the house, he smelled the fragrance coming from the kitchen.
This was the fourth time that Shen Zhichu had met Mr. and Mrs. Bai, but it was her first time here. However, she did not feel unfamiliar. She changed her shoes and went in as soon as she entered the house, familiar with the place.
The expression on Bai's mother's face is always so gentle. When Shen Zhichu sees her, she feels like she sees her own mother. If her mother is still alive, she might be as gentle as Bai's mother. Every time she sees her, she will ask about her well-being, care about her health, ask if she is tired from work, and whether anyone bullies her.
She would also gently pat her back and shoulders, and the warmth from her palms made people want to hold them tightly.
When Bai Wanwan heard the noise downstairs, she also ran downstairs with her skirt lifted up. She had dozens of ideas in her mind, wanting to hug Shen Zhichu enthusiastically as soon as she saw her.
But when she saw Chen Zhichu, she was so nervous that she dared not move. She stood aside, twisting her body with her hands behind her back, lowering her head and blushing.
Shen Zhichu saw Bai Wanwan standing in the corner and walked over with the bag: "Wanwan."
"Well, what's the matter?" Bai Wanwan had a cold expression on her face and didn't even glance at her.
Every time Chen Zhichu saw Bai Wanwan, she looked cold and indifferent, answering only one question at a time, or sitting in the corner playing with her phone without looking at anyone.
Sometimes she wondered if Bai Wanwan didn’t like her?
But last time she took the initiative to take a photo with her and said she would give her a chance.
I thought the relationship between them should be getting better, but when I saw them today, it seemed like there wasn't much change?
Shen Zhichu handed over the gift bag in his hand: "This is the gift I brought you. I don't know what to give you, but I heard from your brother that you like it."
Bai Wanwan paused, hesitated for a moment, then reached out to take it, saying softly, "Thank you."
"I hope you like it."
"I like it very much." As long as it is given by Chu Jie, even if it is a pile of shit, she will like it!
Bai Wanwan still wanted to talk to Chen Zhichu alone, but Bai's mother came and took him away. Bai Wanwan took the gift with a pout and opened it. It was a dress from one of her favorite luxury brands, and it was a limited edition.
She had set her eyes on this dress before and originally wanted to ask someone to buy it for her, but she couldn't get the limited edition. She didn't expect Shen Zhichu to buy it and give it to her.
The white dress was of great texture and even more beautiful than she had imagined. She decided to wear this new dress tomorrow to seduce Chu Jie.
Downstairs, Shen Zhichu secretly asked Bai Qiujing: "Is Wanwan more introverted?"
"Introvert? How could she be introverted?" When Bai Wanwan asked for his autographed photo to sell on Xianyu, she wanted to strip him off and take nude photos of him.
"Doesn't that mean she doesn't like me?"
"How could there be someone in this world who doesn't like you?" This question is even more surprising than the previous one.
The surprise on Bai Qiujing's face was not fake, even his pupils were trembling.
Shen Zhichu reminded him with a mixture of laughter and tears: "Have you forgotten about my online haters?"
"Isn't that because they have problems with their eyes and brains? They can't even distinguish right from wrong. They're so stupid and self-righteous, and so ignorant and immoral."
Bai Qiujing is definitely a "novice chef" who can praise people to the sky with his eyes closed. He is happy when he praises Shen Zhichu, and even happier when he hears others praising him. He looks proud, as if he is the one being praised.
"Don't worry, my sister is fine. Didn't she suddenly hug you last time?" Just thinking about it made his back teeth ache.
Father Bai also appeared at this time. Shen Zhichu handed over the gift he brought and called him obediently, "Uncle Bai."
"I heard Qiu Jing say that he likes to drink tea on weekdays. This is my choice. I don't know if you like it or not."
Father Bai looked at the gift box. This can of tea was not cheap. Even his bastard son had never given him such an expensive gift. Thinking of these bad things, he couldn't help but look up and glance at Bai Qiujing.
——After all, Bai Qiujing was marrying above his station.
"Just come, why bring tea? Sit down and make yourself at home." Father Bai said, but his hand never left the gift box, admiring it contentedly. "I went to see the movie you acted in recently. It was very good. I saw it five times. But that ghost face was a little scary. I had nightmares for several nights. By the way, Zhichu, can you play Go?"
"I know a little bit. I used to go there with my grandfather."
"That's perfect. The chess set I just bought arrived today. It's still early before dinner, so why don't you play a few games with me?"
Shen Zhichu glanced at Bai Qiujing beside him and nodded: "Okay."
At dusk, the city was shrouded in a dim sky. Father Bai asked someone to put away the chessboard and played chess on the balcony of the living room.
One’s character can be seen from his chess skills. Father Bai then realized that he had many misunderstandings about Shen Zhichu before.
[I found a dubbing expert on Kuaishou. His dubbing of Shen Zhichu is very nice. I fell in love with his voice. If you like him, you can follow him. His name is Hua Xiaoshi.]
