Spring goes and autumn comes, the four seasons change, and the fading of the cold spring is a sign that the hot summer is coming again.
In the president's office of SQ Venture Capital Group, two tall young men each occupied a corner. Their appearances had become more perfect and dazzling with age, and they were equally attractive.
Qi Shen is refined and gentle, while Fu Shaosi is unrestrained and rebellious.
White smoke rose into the air, condensed, and then dissipated.
In the quiet office, a ding-dong sound rang out as the phone spun around on the desk.
Qi Shen then put down the documents in his hand.
Gold-rimmed glasses perched on a high, straight nose, beneath which lay unfathomable dark eyes. His features appeared gentle yet carried a subtle air of aloofness.
He makes people want to get close to him, yet they also feel that he is unapproachable.
He picked up his phone from the table and looked up. His jawline was smooth, followed by thin, cool lips and a long, pale neck.
[Zhizhi: Brother, the teacher told us this morning that we have the weekend off.]
Qi Shen's slender fingers lightly tapped the keyboard as he replied:
Okay, I understand.
Judging from his childhood friend's demeanor, Fu Shaosi knew whose message it was. He flicked off his cigarette ash, crossed his long legs, and sneered with narrowed eyes.
"Is the little darling we've been hiding at home reporting on its whereabouts?"
The man smiled and said, "Mm."
"How pathetic." Fu Shaosi rolled his eyes inwardly. "I treat you like a brother, and you treat me like a pervert?"
Upon hearing this, Qi Shen raised his eyes and stared at Fu Shaosi, his eyebrows slightly raised, "Aren't you one?"
Fu Shaosi sneered. From high school until now, which of the women who had been circling around him wasn't a beauty?
He wouldn't go so far as to lay a hand on someone his brother has his eye on.
However, Qi Shen treated him like a thief, keeping him by his side for ten years without revealing a single word.
It was during the summer vacation after their senior year of high school that Bai Chuan couldn't contact Qi Shen after returning from military training. They went directly to the Qi family and bumped into this girl named Fang Zhi.
If this hadn't happened, he'd probably still be completely in the dark, a true "Mongolian."
His shaved head was also related to this incident, and the more he thought about it, the angrier he became. Fu Shaosi couldn't help but speak sarcastically.
Why didn't Uncle Qi kill you back then?
The Qi family has been involved in politics for generations, especially the patriarch, who was one of the central figures in the political arena. Even though he is now retired due to old age, the resources he controls should not be underestimated.
Among the younger generation of the Qi family, Old Master Qi valued Qi Shen the most, and Qi's father also placed high hopes on Qi Shen.
Qi Shen's path to an official career was originally a foregone conclusion.
As a result, when he filled out his college application that year, he surprised everyone by applying to the finance department.
Grandpa Qi was greatly disappointed.
Qi's father was also furious and used family discipline on Qi Shen for the first time. Qi Shen was hospitalized for a week before being discharged.
Qi Shen placed his phone back on the table, chuckled lightly, and said casually, "Evil lives on for a thousand years, but its life is not yet over."
Fu Shaosi clicked his tongue. "You're quite self-aware. Have you ever regretted it?"
Bright sunlight streamed through the floor-to-ceiling windows, illuminating the man's sharply defined profile, his gold-rimmed glasses reflecting a beam of light.
Qi Shen lowered his eyes and said softly, "No regrets."
To this day, he has never regretted it.
The early stages of starting his business during his junior year of college were the most difficult. He never used the Qi family's name to help him. He was always busy with work and countless drinking parties, and he had to make one hour feel like two.
He knew, of course, that a career in government would be smooth sailing, but he couldn't escape the shackles of the Qi family.
“That’s true.” Fu Shaosi stood up leisurely and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window to overlook the view of Haicheng. “How could I regret it?”
The greatest regret in life is not getting what you want or losing what you have. You will regret not getting money and power.
The sense of accomplishment is doubled when you achieve something on your own, after all, men have conquest and ambition mixed in their blood.
SQ Ventures' performance last year, coupled with a single acquisition deal that yielded a ten-figure profit at the end of last month, is enough to allow Qi Shen to shed his family's aura and stand at the top of the pyramid.
There are no more worries.
......
It was lunchtime in the dance studio of the senior students at Shangde High School, while the other dance students had gone to the cafeteria.
Only two people remained in the classroom.
Liu Siyi looked amazed, her eyes fixed on the girl dancing gracefully in the center.
The ceiling light was dazzling, but not as bright as her.
The girl had a slender and graceful figure, with straight and fair legs. She was thin but not skinny, and her light dance steps were like a butterfly taking flight.
After the dance ended, Liu Siyi was still in a daze for a long time.
"Zhizhi!" Looking at the girl walking towards her, Liu Siyi clapped and exclaimed sincerely, "You danced so well, you were... a beauty that could make fish sink and geese fall from the sky, a beauty that could shame the moon and make flowers blush!"
Fang Zhi's porcelain-white and clear cheeks were slightly flushed, and her dark eyes beneath her dark eyebrows were like stars. Her features were exquisite and beautiful.
When she smiles, she is gentle and serene; when she doesn't smile, her eyes and brows reveal a frail and innocent appearance, making her exceptionally endearing.
Fang Zhi stopped in front of her and said softly, "Siyi, 'fish sink and geese fall, moon hides and flowers blush' are used to describe beauty."
"Hehe." Liu Siyi started to act shamelessly, "You know that my head is empty, and my brainstem is missing."
Fang Zhi smiled, then suddenly frowned, as if remembering something. "Siyi, you haven't been coming to the dance studio much lately. Has something happened at home?"
Liu Siyi hesitated for a moment, then slowly said, "I can't go to university in Beijing with you. My parents have already discussed it and decided to send me to study in Australia after the college entrance examination."
Fang Zhi was taken aback by this sudden news.
"Zhizhi, please don't be angry!" Liu Siyi irritably ran her fingers through her short hair. "My parents hadn't thought it through before, and I thought things might change! That's why they didn't tell you in advance."
Seeing her longtime friend's anxious explanation, Fang Zhi snapped out of her daze and gently comforted her, "I'm not angry. Studying abroad is great; it's very convenient to stay in touch with a mobile phone."
