Chapter 151
At the Shao family mansion, a car drove into the iron-railed gate. Shao Qinghe took a step with his long legs and walked straight into the house.
The servants on both sides looked at the young master as if he were a rare visitor.
Shao Qinghe didn't say a word and went straight to the room of Shao Jingzhou, the second son of the Shao family.
Shao Jingzhou was playing bridge, accompanied by several girls, like a star-studded cast.
Seeing Shao Qinghe walk out from behind the door, Shao Jingzhou raised his eyebrows: "Oh, what a rare guest."
Shao Qinghe stared at him and said, "All of you get out."
The playmates in the room looked at each other and didn't move. After all, this was the room of the Second Young Master Shao. If they listened to him, who knows what would happen.
Shao Jingzhou smiled, stretched out one hand and placed it on the back of a chair next to him: "Why, big brother, do you have something shameful to say?"
"Shao Jingzhou," Shao Qinghe said in a light tone, "I gave you face."
The two brothers confronted each other for a while, and Shao Qinghe's cold and delayed expression made Shao Jingzhou upset.
He looked at the fly with the same eyes again. He thought, it was a waste of his desire to get close to this brother when he was young.
But after all, they were in the Shao family mansion. If they really started quarreling in front of outsiders and acted out a scene of brothers fighting each other, he would probably not end up well if it got to his father.
Shao Jingzhou looked away and threw the bridge cards in his hand onto the table.
"Didn't you hear what my big brother said? Get out!"
Everyone tiptoed out and closed the door.
Shao Qinghe pulled out a chair with a rustling sound and sat down opposite the card table.
"That tabloid was written by you."
Affirmative tone.
Shao Jingzhou said, "Speaking of which, I am also very curious about Miss Chen. Brother, this is the first time I see your emotions fluctuate like this. Could it be that you really like her?"
Then he said to himself, "That's right, otherwise I wouldn't have paid for the paparazzi's photos and told the newspaper not to publish them."
"It's none of your business to interfere in my affairs." Shao Qinghe narrowed his eyes, "You are really brave."
Shao Jingzhou snorted coldly and answered nonchalantly: "So what? What can you do to me?"
He was very happy, for this time he really hit Shao Qinghe's sore spot. By the way, he could also discredit his reputation in public and cause stock price fluctuations.
Shao Qinghe said nothing, picked up a card on the table and held it in his hand.
After a while, he said, "You asked for it."
"What's the meaning?"
"Nothing much, it's just that shipping has been quite busy recently."
Shao Jingzhou's expression changed immediately. He had a batch of fresh produce business overseas and was waiting for it to be shipped these two days. Could it be...
He rushed to the phone and dialed a number.
"I'm sorry, Second Master, the boats are all full now, so I can't arrange it..."
Shao Jingzhou raised his head suddenly and shouted word by word: "Shao Qinghe!"
Shao Qinghe's grandfather used to be in the shipping business and was very influential in this industry. Although he has passed away, his influence remains.
Obviously, he was the one who was causing the trouble. But fresh produce is time-sensitive, and if we can't find a suitable ship to transport it back, it will just rot on the shore.
"Aren't you afraid of your father's accountability?!" Shao Jingzhou roared.
Shao Qinghe curled his lips and looked up at him: "It's rare to find someone as stupid as you."
"If you dare to stop me, my father will definitely plead for me..." Shao Jingzhou still said stubbornly.
"Well, you can try." Shao Qinghe laughed.
He knew Shao's father well, the one who valued the Shaw Group more than anything else. Shao Jingzhou's reckless behavior this time caused the group's stock price to fluctuate, and any drop would be an astronomical figure. Even if it was related to him, wasn't Shao Jingzhou still the instigator?
One can almost imagine the furious look on Shao's father's face. He would definitely point at Shao Jingzhou and curse: "Are you crazy? Even if there is a big problem, you have to endure it and deal with it behind closed doors for the sake of the word 'Shao'! How can you be so stupid as to destroy your own foundation!"
Despite being so furious, he would just treat Shao Jingzhou's loss as a lesson for him and ignore it.
With his confident attitude, Shao Jingzhou's tone gradually became uncertain.
Seeing Shao Qinghe taking over, Shao Jingzhou wanted to bite his teeth to pieces and deliberately poked at his sore spot: "No matter what I do, Shao Qinghe, do you think you can get any good in front of Miss Chen?"
Shao Jingzhou sneered: "She probably doesn't want to be discussed by the public like this, right?"
Shao Qinghe's face suddenly turned gloomy.
This is exactly what he is most worried about.
In order to avoid being talked about, Chen Lanjun even rejected him. Now that the nightmare has come true, how will she... react?
*** ***
Inside Pengda Laboratory.
Chen Lanjun and Yin Yu stared at a newly assembled game console and looked at each other.
In the past few days since they came back, they have been working day and night with other teachers and talented students who stayed in school. The teachers came in turns, Chen Lanjun and Yin Yu dragged two camp beds and asked Yin Yu's lover to bring two quilts, and lived completely in the laboratory.
Finally, I got a concept machine.
"I don't know if it can work." Yin Yu said with a frown.
"We'll know if it works if we try it." Chen Lanjun stuffed a bunch of stuffed dolls into the glass box, connected the power supply, took a deep breath, and then - played the claw machine seriously.
That’s right, the first thing they made was a claw machine.
This game console, which became popular later, has not yet appeared in Hong Kong and the Mainland.
The program design is very simple. The joystick controls the claw and drops it before the time expires to see if it can catch the doll.
Chen Lanjun stared at the seconds jumping on the simple electronic screen, three, two, one... Before the countdown ended, she pressed the button.
The claws fell.
Caught the doll!
"Yes, it works!" Yin Yu cheered, "It's a success!"
Chen Lanjun held the doll in her arms and breathed a sigh of relief: "Finally it's done. I thought it would be too late for the New Year."
Speaking of this, Yin Yu reacted and scratched his hair that hadn't been washed for a few days: "Today is New Year's Eve. Since we have developed it, we will go back to rest today and tomorrow, and deal with mass production on the second day of the New Year."
She looked at Chen Lanjun and smiled: "Look at yourself, you have panda eyes."
Indeed, when Chen Lanjun looked in the mirror in the bathroom, she discovered a large dark patch under her eyes, all caused by staying up late.
She washed her face with cold water, stretched herself, and stuffed the dirty clothes of the past few days into her luggage bag. She had moved directly to the camp bed in the laboratory with her luggage bag when she came back, so it was convenient to pack up now.
Only a few teachers and students stayed in school to celebrate the New Year. The campus was deserted with only a few fallen leaves flying on the road.
Although the winter wind was cold, Chen Lanjun was very tired after days of hard work. She felt heavy in the eyes after walking for a long time, so she had to stand and rub her eyes, trying to open them wider. She had to go home to sleep.
She was yawning when she heard someone calling her from behind.
Turning around, it turned out to be Shao Qinghe.
How come he is here?
Chen Lanjun regained some consciousness and looked at him walking towards her quickly.
Shao Qinghe frowned and strode towards Chen Lanjun.
When he rushed to Chen Lanjun's house, he unexpectedly saw some Hong Kong reporters acting suspiciously downstairs. God knows how these people got in!
When he arrived at Chen Lanjun's parents' house, her parents were gloomy and silent. Her sister Fengjun was so angry that she wanted to kick him out: "Our Lanjun is an innocent girl, but because of you, the newspapers wrote about her like this!"
The tabloids in Hong Kong have always used harsh and incomprehensible language. There hasn't been any big news recently, so they've been talking about this incident over and over again. Also, due to the disparity in status between Chen Lanjun and Shao Qinghe, all the reports are about how scheming Chen Lanjun was and how she tried to curry favor with Shao Qinghe.
Feng Jun was so excited that he tore up two copies of the newspaper.
"Master Shao, we are a small family and don't have the ability to flirt with others. Please go back!"
After much persuasion, he finally learned from Feng Jun that Chen Lanjun was in school.
So he rushed here immediately to explain to her.
But when I really saw her, I could see that she looked tired, and even had red eyes.
Shao Qinghe's prepared words of explanation were all stuck in his chest, like a heavy stone. He felt only distress, self-blame and sadness towards her.
Such a good person was portrayed in such a terrible light by the tabloids. Who knows what people would say about her in their after-dinner conversations. I felt a pang of pain in my heart.
It's all because of myself.
It was his fault. He had clearly promised that Chen Lanjun would never be disturbed, but she was still affected by it.
Shao Qinghe opened his arms and held Chen Lanjun in his arms, as if holding a fragile dream.
"I'm sorry. It's my fault."
Chen Lanjun was a little confused.
For a moment, she thought she was just too tired and was still dreaming on the cot in the laboratory.
She said softly, "Um, could you explain what's going on?"
