The ship was about to set sail. Gua Liu stood on the shore of the port, waved to everyone, and shouted loudly: "I will take good care of Jun Shao. I will send you messages every day. Don't worry!" Shi
Jin stood at the bow and waved to him, then called Gua Wu.
Gua Wu said he understood and gestured to the captain's room.
The ship slowly moved and left the port at a steady speed. Shi Jin looked far away in the direction of the comprehensive building until the ship was completely far away and the island was no longer visible in his sight, then he turned around and retracted his sight.
Gua Yi and others all stood behind him, looking at him quietly.
"Prepare for the meeting, go to the conference room." Shi Jin controlled his emotions and announced.
Gua Yi and the others all responded in unison, turning around and walking towards the conference room to prepare for the meeting.
After they left, Fei Yujing stepped forward and stood in front of Shi Jin, blocking his way and looking at him with a frown.
"What's wrong?" Shi Jin asked in confusion.
"I would rather you cry than see you calm, steady and serious like a real adult." Fei Yujing said, taking out a pair of glasses from his pocket and putting them on his nose. "When you don't want others to see your thoughts, you can wear this to cover it up. The lenses will reflect light and cover part of your eyebrows and eyes, so that others can't see your expression so easily."
The glasses are plain glasses with thin gold frames. They are a little heavy on the bridge of the nose. Shi Jin has never worn glasses before, so he is very uncomfortable.
"When you want to play the pig and eat the tiger, wearing glasses can also work wonders." Fei Yujing said, and took out another pair of glasses and stuffed them into Shi Jin's hands. It was a pair of glasses with round frames. The frames were a plain black plastic material, very light, and almost weightless in the hand - this was obviously a pair of glasses suitable for students.
"Talking less will always make you look stronger and tougher than talking more, and having no expression will always make you look more mysterious and reliable than having a rich expression. Although it is a bit rude to look down on people, you don't need to be too polite in the occasion you are going to this time."
One sentence after another, Shi Jin listened stupidly, watching Fei Yujing teach the tutorial of how to trick people with a calm face, and silently took a step back.
Fei Yujing stretched out his hand and pulled him back, asking, "Why do you want to quit? Study hard."
"You are so scary." Shi Jin expressed his inner thoughts honestly, making him angry without being noticed. "It's just a pair of glasses, but you can come up with so many things. Dealing with people like you, I feel like I could fall into a trap at any time."
Fei Yujing raised his eyebrows and looked at him, saying, "Your way of acting coquettishly is really special. You want to make me angry and then have a quarrel with me to vent your emotions? Don't even think about it, I'm not the third child. If you really want to vent, I can lend you my shoulder to cry on."
Shi Jin: "..."
"If you want to act coquettishly, just do it. There's no need to be so nervous. Your brother won't laugh at you." Fei Yujing raised his hand and stroked his hair, motioning to Chuan Nei, "Cry or not? If you do, I'll take you to cut onions. If someone asks, just say that Lao Wu suddenly wants to eat onion noodles."
Li Jiuzheng, who had been standing quietly on the side, immediately clarified himself: "Second brother, I don't like eating onions. Don't use me to bully Xiao Jin."
Use? Bully?
Fei Yujing was really mad at these two brothers. He thought they were idiots and hopeless. He simply grabbed Shi Jin's arm and said, "Let's go. Don't stand outside in the wind like an idiot." Shi
Jin was dragged away by him. It took him a long time to react. He poked Xiao Si in his heart, frowned, and reflected on himself: "I just deliberately pissed Fei Yujing off... Was I trying to act coquettishly?"
Xiao Si replied, "Definitely not! Jinjin, why would you act coquettishly to Fei Yujing? He is fierce and hard, but you act coquettishly to me, Daddy loves you..." Shi
Jin: "...Thank you, but no."
He gathered his thoughts, glanced at Fei Yujing who was walking in front and looked reliable and steady, and then glanced at Li Jiuzheng who was walking beside him. He felt a little awkward and a little soft in his heart. A mess of emotions came and went, but it actually dispersed the uncomfortable feeling in his heart. He tilted his head and exhaled lightly, then withdrew his hand with a little force, and said, "I'm not going to the kitchen. The meeting is about to start."
Fei Yujing and Li Jiuzheng both stopped and looked at him.
"...I'll go to the kitchen after the meeting. Let's have a good meal today to improve our mood." He said, took off the glasses that Fei Yujing had put on him and put them in his pocket, waved at them, and strode past them towards the conference room.
Fei Yujing and Li Jiuzheng watched him leave. Li Jiuzheng's expression slowly disappeared, and he said, "Second brother, I can like to eat onion noodles if Xiaojin needs it."
"He really needs it." Fei Yujing retracted his gaze and rolled up his sleeves, "Let's go and prepare onions."
...
After spending half an hour in a meeting with Gua Yi and others, and making preliminary arrangements for the trivial matters after boarding the ship, Shi Jin left the conference room, hesitated for a while, and went to the kitchen.
Fei Yujing and Li Jiuzheng were already in the kitchen, one was kneading the dough, the other was watching the excitement, the atmosphere was quite harmonious. Seeing Shi Jin coming in, Fei Yujing pointed to the onions on the chopping board, and said, "Cut them." Shi
Jin glanced at him, walked to the chopping board, picked up the knife and onions, but did not move.
I always feel that if I move, I will lose to Fei Yujing. He is obviously just a guy who doesn't care about anything but profit, why does he pretend to know everything? Who wants to accept this kind of awkward kindness——
"Are you arguing with yourself again? Do you need me to cut one for you to demonstrate?" Fei Yujing walked to his side without knowing when, picked up an onion and tossed it in his hand. Shi Jin
stepped aside without hesitation, put the knife in his hand, and said sternly: "Then you show me how to do it."
Fei Yujing looked at him, stood in front of the chopping board, and cut the onion neatly with one knife, then put them together and slicing them, and then dicing them. The smell of onions spread, and Fei Yujing's eyes quickly turned red, and tears flowed out. But he had a cold expression when he cried, which was no different from usual. After cutting, he threw away the knife, washed his hands, took out a handkerchief to wipe his eyes, and returned to normal, saying: "The demonstration is over, it's your turn." Shi Jin
: "..." He felt that he had completely lost. How could he cry so calmly when someone else was crying.
He was deeply shocked and was about to accept the punishment from the onion when Li Jiuzheng suddenly dropped his meal and ran over, pushed Fei Yujing aside, snatched his knife, picked up an onion and started to chop it. After a while, he burst into tears and even had snot. He was as crazy as he could be.
Shi Jin was a little stupid and reached out to pull him: "Fifth brother, what are you doing?"
"Xiao Jin, look, this is how you chop onions. It's nothing." Li Jiuzheng dodged his hand and said with a frown while sucking his snot. He looked stupid.
Shi Jin looked at him, and a sour feeling instantly rolled over his heart. Although he didn't cut the onions, his eyes were a little hot. He tilted his head and took a deep breath to suppress his emotions. He stepped forward and took the knife from Li Jiuzheng's hand, saying, "You cut it too ugly. It's a complete waste of ingredients. Let me do it. Do you want to eat onion rings? I'll fry some later." He picked up an onion and cut it directly.
With a click, the blade passed through the onion and touched the chopping board. Before he could completely cut the onion, tears flowed out uncontrollably.
It has been more than a month. He did not cry when Lian Jun was being treated, he did not cry when Lian Jun was being rescued, he did not cry when Lian Jun was in so much pain that he could not eat at all, and he did not cry when his body became thinner day by day. Later, when Lian Jun fell into a coma, he wanted to cry, but he could not cry anymore. The meeting was about to begin. He was the deputy leader of Mie. If he collapsed, what would the others do? If he did not believe more calmly than anyone else that Lian Jun would get better in the end, how could the others settle down to do their work?
He suddenly understood why Lian Jun was unwilling to receive treatment before, and why he was stubbornly holding on and not showing any weakness on the outside. He had chosen to be the backbone of everyone, and he really had no right to be weak.
"It's too spicy. No wonder Third Brother made himself so miserable..." As he spoke, his vision was completely blurred, and he could not see clearly what he was cutting with his hands. The panic and fear that had been suppressed for more than a month quickly overflowed. He wanted to hold it back, but once he opened his mouth, how could he hold it back? The person lying on the hospital bed was someone he liked, how could he really be calm and strong.
Fei Yujing looked at his slightly trembling shoulders, reached out to take the knife from his hand, pressed his head on his shoulder, and said: "Cry, vent it out, you are so suppressed, anyone can see that Lian Jun must have been in trouble."
Shi Jin raised his hand to grab his clothes, and without hesitation, rubbed his tears and snot on him.
Fei Yujing tilted his head to endure, pretending not to feel the sticky touch on his shoulder.
"Second brother, you are despicable." Li Jiuzheng was still accusing him.
Fei Yujing looked at Li Jiuzheng's stupid face after crying, and pinched his brows with a headache.
Why didn't I notice it before? These brothers are stupider than each other. I really want to ignore them like before, but... He raised his hand to rub the back of Shi Jin's head, and with his other hand, he resignedly held his back and patted it gently.
...
After crying for a while and sleeping all night, Shi Jin woke up and felt that his body was much lighter. He seemed to have been reborn. His mind was clear, his nerves were relaxed, and the sunlight seemed colorful to him.
People really need to dump out emotional garbage from time to time.
He let out a long breath and sat up. The faces of Fei Yujing and Li Jiuzheng flashed through his mind. He shook his head and first looked at Lian Jun's progress bar. Seeing that it had not increased and was still at 500 calories, he felt relieved. He got up and rushed into the bathroom to pour cold water on his face.
The sleepiness disappeared completely. He looked at himself in the mirror with slightly swollen eyes and clenched his fists tightly - "Sleeping Beauty" was still waiting at home. He had to go back safely and then kiss his baby to wake him up!
"Come on, Jinjin!" Xiaosi suddenly said, with high spirits. Shi Jin
couldn't help laughing. The discomfort in his chest finally dissipated. He responded, "Okay, let's work hard together." No one should let Mie suffer a loss in this meeting!
…
Everyone was quick to notice that Shi Jin’s aura had changed. Although he still showed the steady and reliable look he had developed over the past month, his eyes were brighter and he seemed more relaxed when he spoke, no longer so stressed out.
After noticing this, everyone looked at each other knowingly and breathed a sigh of relief. Shi Jin was reliable before, but he was obviously holding on. Everyone was afraid that he would collapse at any time. Now that they saw that he had adjusted, they finally put their worries to rest.
“Thank you for your hard work during this period.” During breakfast, Shi Jin thanked everyone implicitly.
Everyone said it was nothing, and the atmosphere at the table relaxed for once.
Seeing this, Shi Jin once again deeply understood how much the team leader's emotions affected the overall atmosphere of the team. He felt ashamed of his own immaturity, and tactfully stopped talking about this topic. After everyone finished breakfast, he continued, "According to the current sailing speed, we should arrive at the meeting place the day after tomorrow afternoon, three days earlier than other large organizations. I thought about it when I got up early, and I felt that the opinions I put forward before were still too immature and needed to be improved. Gather in the conference room in half an hour, and we will discuss the details." After speaking, he looked at Gua Yi and Gua Er, "You two follow me."
Gua Yi and Gua Er responded yes, then got up and left with him.
...
Shi Jin led Gua Yi and Gua Er to the study room, and after they sat down, he said straight to the point: "For this meeting, I am not going to follow the plan suggested by Lian Jun before."
Gua Yi and Gua Er were both stunned and looked at each other. Gua Yi asked, "What do you think, Master Shi?" Shi
Jin was relieved to see that they did not object to his "disobedience" to Lian Jun's order right away, and replied seriously: "Lian Jun's previous arrangement was to At this meeting, everyone must put my safety first, try to reduce contact and conflict with Meng Qing and others, always stay close to the official personnel, don't be alone, and try to retreat with the official personnel when the meeting is over... All my arrangements and opinions yesterday were based on this premise, but I thought about it this morning and felt that doing so would be very disadvantageous to Mie."
Gua Yi and Gua Er looked at each other again, and then fell silent.
Shi Jin saw their reaction and understood immediately. He rubbed his forehead with a wry smile and said, "You have indeed discovered the disadvantages of doing this a long time ago... If I do what Lian Jun arranged, my safety can indeed be temporarily stable, but Lian Jun's situation will definitely be exposed. We are all smart people. Lian Jun suddenly missed the meeting like this, and I was overly cautious. The meaning behind this can be figured out by everyone with a little thought. In short, the more careful I am in this meeting, the faster and more fierce the four alliances' targeting and attacks on me will come after the meeting, and the attacks on Lian Jun himself will definitely be endless."
"It's only a matter of time before a conflict breaks out. Don't worry, Master Shi. This is a special period, and everyone should naturally put your safety first." Gua Er spoke to comfort him.
"I know it's only a matter of time before a conflict breaks out, but the time when the conflict breaks out will have a huge impact on the situation. In Lian Jun's original plan, after this meeting, the four alliances' attack on Mie will progress from probing to going all out. With Aunt Lu's mediation, Mie will have at least three months of preparation time after the meeting to arrange various things to welcome the final outbreak. During this period, Lian Jun will most likely be able to indirectly guide the rhythm of this conflict through the enemy's attack speed, thereby gaining absolute control. But if I perform poorly in this meeting and the four families think they have an opportunity and adopt a policy of fierce attack right from the start, then this advantage will be gone." Shi Jin
was very calm, his eyes swept back and forth between Gua Yi and Gua Er, and said: "You know better than me that Mie and Lian Jun need these three months, and you also need them. If you fight a prepared battle, Lian Jun can guarantee your safety to the greatest extent, but if you fight an unprepared battle, you may be at risk at any time in the response of the wolves, and I don't want to see such a result."
Gua Yi and Gua Er had not expected that he would think so thoroughly. They fell silent again. Finally, Gua Yi spoke up and said, "Master Shi, these Master Juns have made plans..."
"His plan is to use a subsequent mess in exchange for my temporary absolute safety. Then, after he gets a little better, he will endure the pain of cleaning up the mess and torture you in the process." Shi Jin interrupted him and said, "I'm not so selfish that I can harden my heart and watch you pay so much just for my safety in this meeting. And have you all forgotten that this meeting was not dangerous at all? You were all too nervous and unconsciously assumed that the four families would take the opportunity to hurt me. But assumptions are just assumptions and they may not necessarily happen."
Gua Yi and Gua Er were stunned.
"The other four families have no reason to touch me. They have just formed an alliance and do not have absolute trust in each other. Even if I am a little arrogant in the meeting, so what? Will they really take the opportunity to kill me? The purpose of our participation in this meeting is not to ensure my safety, but to disrupt them as much as possible and conceal Lian Jun's physical condition to make them jealous and prevent them from taking rash action against each other when the alliance is not completely stable."
Gua Yi and Gua Er rarely showed an expression that could be called silly and looked straight at Shi Jin.
Yes, in fact, the most important thing for this meeting is to cover up the true situation of Lian Jun and shake up the newly formed alliance. If Shi Jin acts too cautiously, it will arouse suspicion... Jun Shao is too concerned, so everything is based on Shi Jin. What about them? Why did they also follow the wrong line of thought...
Seeing that they were silent, Shi Jin couldn't help laughing and said, "Actually, it's my fault. I influenced you. After Lian Jun fell into a coma, I think things always unconsciously go to the worst and most negative direction. You were influenced by me and became timid and negative. You also blame me for being too weak, which made you always worry that something would happen to me, and unconsciously put the focus of your work on protecting me."
"No..." Gua Er retorted instinctively. After thinking about what Shi Jin said, he couldn't help but raised his hands to cover his face and said, "Oh my God, are we all possessed..." It was too embarrassing. Fortunately, Shi Jin reacted in time, otherwise...
"We messed up ourselves." Gua Yi also reacted, frowning and blaming himself, but he quickly sorted out his emotions and asked, "What was Shi Shao going to do?"
Seeing that they understood, Shi Jin nodded with satisfaction and said, "You probably don't know that I have a very famous nickname in school - Young Master of Racing Cars."
Young Master of Racing Cars?
Gua Yi and Gua Er were puzzled and asked in unison, "What do you mean?"
...
Two days later, the ship arrived at the designated sea area for the meeting and successfully contacted the official ship. Shi Jin boarded the official ship in a very handsome outfit of a fashionable brand, followed by Gua Er, Fei Yujing and Li Jiuzheng.
Zhang Zhuoyuan frowned as he looked at Shi Jin, who was dressed like a celebrity on a catwalk, and said dryly, "Mr. Shi attaches great importance to this meeting."
"Of course, I represent the face of Mr. Lian." Shi Jin turned the diamond ring on his hand, looked around the ship, and asked, "Where is Major General Liu Zhenjun? Isn't he helping to maintain order this year?"
"Major General Liu hasn't come yet. The Air Force has also sent a few good players this time, and he will come with them." Zhang Zhuoyuan explained, glanced at Shi Jin, and asked, "Where is Mr. Gua Yi? Is Mr. Shi going to live on the ship with these people this time?" He felt guilty without Gua Yi.
Shi Jin waved his hand nonchalantly and said, "Gua Yi is old and can't stand the high-intensity work. I let him stay on the boat to rest. It's just a meeting, and I can take three people with me." After that, he motioned to Zhang Zhuoyuan to take him to the room quickly and asked to rest.
Old... Zhang Zhuoyuan looked pale. He couldn't bear to see Shi Jin's slackness, so he reminded him tactfully, "How is Mr. Lian? He attaches so much importance to this meeting, he must be very worried."
"Mr. Lian has recovered well. He asked me to pick up Director Zhang to have a drink on the island after the meeting. Otherwise, Director, why don't you just come with me after the meeting? I'll take you to the island to kill snakes." Shi Jin suggested enthusiastically.
Zhang Zhuoyuan was heartbroken and couldn't help but look at Gua Er, the only old man who was dead at the scene.
Gua Er gave him a helpless look and said, "Mr. Jun loves Mr. Shi very much."
Even if he loves him, he can't let him do whatever he wants!
Zhang Zhuoyuan was full of despair. He never thought that Lian Jun would be blinded by love one day.
...
After boarding the ship, Shi Jin slept until he woke up naturally every day. After waking up and filling his stomach, he started to invite Gua Er and others to play mahjong together, turning the official conference ship into a leisure mahjong hall, which made Zhang Zhuoyuan very upset.
He once tried to contact Lian Jun, hoping that Lian Jun would take care of Shi Jin and make him behave like a deputy leader. However, when he called, the call was directly transferred to Shi Jin, who said in a sinister tone, "Director Zhang, if you want to report me, be careful or I'll shave all your hair!"
Zhang Zhuoyuan hung up the phone with a start. When he looked at Shi Jin again, he felt a headache and fear, and had a terrible premonition that this meeting was mostly over.
Two days passed like this. Just when Zhang Zhuoyuan couldn't help but suspect that Shi Jin had rebelled and killed Lian Jun and controlled Mie, Gua Er secretly found him and helped him contact Lian Jun.
"It's okay. Shi Jin knows his limits. Let him do what he wants." Lian Jun said on the other end of the phone, his tone very calm.
Zhang Zhuoyuan was so upset that he couldn't help but complain: "After he got on board, he played mahjong every day, slept after eating, and ate after sleeping. He didn't come when we asked him to talk, and didn't attend meetings when we asked
him to. Is this what you call having a sense of propriety? People from other organizations will be here soon. If he keeps on like this, this meeting--" "This meeting should be the last meeting of the gang. Let him have fun. The four-party alliance has been formed, and everyone will start fighting after the meeting. There's no need to worry so much." Lian Jun interrupted him and did not forget to instruct, "Director Lao, please pay more attention to Shi Jin. If he has a conflict with the leaders of other organizations, please protect him more." After that, he hung up the phone on the grounds of being unwell.
Zhang Zhuoyuan was stunned and couldn't believe it. He couldn't help but burst out: "You don't care because we are going to fight? Are you really not in good health? You didn't let Shi Jin come in to play on purpose!"
Gua Er looked at him with pity, patted his shoulder, and sighed: "I've said it before, Jun Shao loves Shi Shao very much... Oh, don't worry, it's the last meeting anyway, it's okay."
Something's wrong! You guys take it seriously!
Zhang Zhuoyuan was going crazy. He wanted to grab the people of Mie and shake them to see if there was water in their brains!
