"Beautiful." Chen Qizhao replied, "More beautiful than that night."
Shen Yuhuai said: "I think so too."
Chen Qizhao took a few steps back, avoiding the rising waves, and stood quietly beside Shen Yuhuai. Fireworks were blooming in the distance, and Chen Qizhao listened to his own heartbeat slowly calming down. He clenched his hands tightly in his pockets, and the stinging sensation reminded him of the reality before his eyes.
The two watched until the fireworks ended before finding a restaurant in the resort to eat.
By the time Chen Qizhao got home, it was already past ten o'clock in the evening.
When getting off the car, Chen Qizhao asked, "Brother Huai... do you want to come in and sit for a while?"
Shen Yuhuai shook his head slightly, “It’s too late, next time.”
Chen Qizhao said goodbye, and Shen Yuhuai nodded.
He looked at Chen Qizhao's leaving figure and thought about what Chen Qizhao said in the afternoon. It seemed that through the figure that was getting farther and farther away, he could recall Chen Qizhao at his desk. His childhood ideas were wild and imaginative. He said that he wanted to develop intelligent robots in the future that would be as amazing as the science fiction movies on TV.
I like it so much, but it's not just a little bit interested.
Shen Yuhuai stopped reminiscing, and seeing that the person's figure had disappeared, he started the car and left.
After Chen Qizhao entered the villa, he walked to a place farther away from the entrance and waited for about a few minutes before he heard the sound of a vehicle starting and leaving. His eyes deepened and he paused for a long while as if thinking about something. Only when he saw the car lights disappear into the night did he turn around and enter the garage.
In the garage, the vehicle that was sent for repair not long ago has returned. Lao Lin is not in the garage. He must have gone to rest.
He tried the tires of those cars and found no tilt or leaks.
He checked several cars that Chen Shiming often used. When he was about to leave, he suddenly stopped and looked at the cars further inside. One of them was the business car that Chen Jianhong often used when he went out.
Chen Qizhao thought about it and went to the place where the spare key was kept. When he opened it, he did not see the key to the car inside.
"Second Young Master?" The butler turned on the garage light and looked over here puzzledly.
"What other cars are there in the garage at home that are not being used?" Chen Qizhao came back to his senses, "The keys here are not complete, right?"
"It may have been taken by Lao Lin. He will take the key to the car he is going to use tomorrow in advance to avoid occupying the car for other purposes." The housekeeper hesitated and asked, "Does the second young master need a car? I will arrange a driver for you tomorrow."
"Uncle Zhang, please arrange a car for me tomorrow, a business car." Chen Qizhao pointed at one at random, and said in a somewhat annoyed tone: "It saves me from having to use Chen Shiming's car every time. Who wants to get up early with that workaholic?"
The housekeeper breathed a sigh of relief, "Okay, I'll arrange it tomorrow."
He thought the second young master was going to drive himself, but that wasn't possible because the second young master's driver's license hadn't been issued yet.
Chen Qizhao glanced at the garage thoughtfully, and quickly left the garage and returned to the villa.
Only Zhang Yazhi was in the living room; Chen Shiming and Chen Jianhong were not there. He greeted Zhang Yazhi and was about to go upstairs when the latter suddenly called him.
"Let's go for a physical check-up with mom next week?" Zhang Yazhi asked.
Chen Qizhao was originally thinking about something, but when he heard Zhang Yazhi ask this, he immediately frowned: "Where's Dad?"
"Your dad said he would come with me next week, but he seemed to be busy these past two days. After dinner, he went to the study with your brother and hasn't come down yet." Zhang Yazhi criticized her husband a few times, "I don't know what he was talking about, and he didn't work overtime today..."
Chen Qizhao glanced upstairs thoughtfully. Chen Jianhong had to have a physical examination. Compared with Zhang Yazhi, Chen Jianhong's body was more like a time bomb. "He had to have a health examination. His three highs were not stable. What's the reason for not having a physical examination?"
"His three highs have stabilized recently, but he told me that he tends to feel sleepy." Zhang Yazhi thought for a moment and said, "It could also be that he didn't get enough rest."
Chen Qizhao frowned even deeper: "Doesn't he know how old he is this year?"
Zhang Yazhi suddenly heard Chen Qizhao's rather stern voice. She paused and said, "Your father didn't say he wouldn't go. He just said it might be postponed for a few days..." She was just talking casually about her husband. She called Chen Qizhao mainly because she wanted the child to go with her. She always felt that the child was too thin recently and wanted him to go for a physical examination together.
Chen Qizhao also realized that his tone might be too harsh, so he slowed down a little: "I hope you can pay more attention to your health. My classmate's father..."
"Mom knows." Zhang Yazhi smiled and said, "Let's not talk about this anymore. Where did you go today? Your brother said you went to the Shen family company. Why did you come back so late?"
Chen Qizhao was silent for a while, and then he answered: "I went to the beach in the evening... and watched the fireworks."
Zhang Yazhi asked: "Are you having fun?"
"…happy."
After chatting with Zhang Yazhi in the living room, Chen Qizhao went upstairs and wanted to go to the study, but then he thought that Chen Jianhong and Chen Shiming were probably discussing something important, so he decided to go and find out later.
After taking a shower, he lay on the bed and sent a message to Shen Yuhuai to ask if he had arrived home.
Shen Yuhuai replied quickly and said that he had arrived.
Chen Qizhao was lying on the bed, reading the message from the other party, but the face of Shen Yuhuai standing on the beach appeared in his mind. He did not reply to Shen Yuhuai, but turned to the photo he took in the restaurant during the day, and pressed his finger on the picture to zoom in and out.
In the restaurant with slightly warm light, Shen Yuhuai raised his eyes.
Chen Qizhao suddenly turned off the screen of his mobile phone, lay on his back on the bed, and stared at the ceiling.
After a long time, he closed his eyes. The sound bursting from his chest made his shoulders tremble slightly. He opened the palm of his right hand, which had a few marks of his fingernails. He said to himself, "Beautiful, but too unreal."
-*
Chen Qizhao worked for a few days at the Chen Group. He did not stay in the office all day. During this time, he went to the parking lot to book a so-called "driving license coach". The person he found was an old safety officer at the parking lot, also named Chen. I spend half a day in the company and half a day in the parking lot every day, which makes it convenient to observe other people's movements.
The cooperation with the Shen family has basically been finalized, and the proposed plan will be handed over to the Feihong Electric Rongguang Project Team for discussion and negotiation. When Special Assistant Xu brought this news to the office, he also brought another piece of news to Chen Qizhao.
"Second Young Master, the assistant you mentioned before can come to work today." Special Assistant Xu handed the information to Chen Qizhao and said, "He just came to the company this morning to complete the entry procedures."
Chen Qizhao paused for a moment, took the information and flipped through it, and saw a familiar face in the ID photo, "Where is he now?"
"In the outer office area, his workstation will first be set in the administrative area, and will be adjusted here later." Special Assistant Xu said, observing Chen Qizhao carefully.
Special Assistant Xu was very attentive in finding an assistant. A long time ago, Chen Qizhao had been asking him to pay attention to headhunting companies that wanted to recruit assistants. He had looked at many people but had not yet decided on a candidate. It was not until the end of last year that the second young master noticed a person and asked him to find someone to dig.
In fact, there is no need to dig. The other party’s surname is Zhou. He has been working in an administrative position for less than two years since he graduated from graduate school.
It seems that I was not doing satisfactorily in my previous company, so after the headhunter contacted me, it was basically confirmed that I would leave after receiving my year-end bonus. I just came to the company today.
Special Assistant Xu didn't quite understand why the Second Young Master finally decided to hire a newcomer with only two years of work experience. There were many employees in the company who were more capable than this newcomer, and even the boss had said that he could give the Second Young Master some extra staff.
In the end, the second young master refused and only wanted the one with the surname Zhou.
Chen Qizhao: "Where are the people?"
Special Assistant Xu said: "I will bring him over right away."
After a while, Special Assistant Xu brought the person in.
Xiao Zhou worked in an ordinary administrative position with decent abilities, but was ostracized by his colleagues in his previous company because his abilities were too outstanding. He originally planned to resign and find another job, but he didn't expect to encounter a big opportunity that fell from the sky.
Someone came to him and said that he had a job offer for him as a personal assistant at the Chen Group.
Since the various certificates provided by the other party were very real, he came to the group for an interview after confirming that there were no problems, and was notified to come to work after the New Year. Today, he had been in the company for such a long time, but he had never seen who his boss was, nor did he know who he would be an assistant to, until now he saw the boy sitting in the front of the office.
From the moment he came in, the boy's eyes were always on him.
The other person was so young, and was far inferior to the boss he had imagined, but the way he looked at him was serious.
Xiao Zhou straightened his back unconsciously when he called Mr. Chen.
Chen Qizhao looked at Special Assistant Xu and asked, "Are you free?"
"No." Special Assistant Xu gave Xiao Zhou a look that said "May the best of luck" and turned to leave, closing the door considerately.
As soon as the person left, the office became quiet and Xiao Zhou suddenly felt a little uneasy.
The other party did not say any pleasantries and directly handed him a document.
"Xiao Zhou, right?" Chen Qizhao glanced at the information and said, "Go to Feihong Electric, the project information is all there, and then go to Shen's with the people from the technical department to continue the follow-up work."
Xiao Zhou paused and took the information immediately, "Okay, I'll do it right away."
"If you don't understand something during the early stages of your business, just ask Assistant Xu."
Chen Qizhao noticed that his phone lit up and said, "Okay, there's nothing else to do, you can go now."
Xiao Zhou did not dare to neglect his work and left immediately after receiving the task.
Only after Chen Qizhao and others left did he close the resume on the other side.
He had too many things to handle and it was very difficult to find someone he could trust. In the end, Xiao Zhou was the most suitable person.
In his previous life, in order to find the right candidate, he changed many assistants. In the end, the person who stayed with him the longest and was the most trustworthy was Xiao Zhou. There is no need to say much about his work ability. The most important thing is that this person has a good temper, simple social relationships, never asks questions that he shouldn't, and always completes things in excess of the requirements.
If they want to deal with Jiang Yuze, the Shen family has to send someone to follow him, and Xiao Zhou is just the right person.
He turned on his cell phone and saw that there was an email in his mailbox. When he opened it, it turned out to be an email from an anonymous mailbox, and the results of the investigation on Sheng Ming had arrived.
Chen Qizhao downloaded the file.
All the surface information of Sheng Ming can be checked through the Internet. What Chen Qizhao commissioned to check was the relationships behind Sheng Ming and its previous legal shareholders. As one of Lin Shizhong's pawns, Sheng Ming himself also has problems, otherwise he would not have caused so much trouble to Chen's company later. However, the problems with the Sheng Ming project occurred relatively late in his previous life, and now that it has been taken out by Lin Shizhong in advance, he has to be sure what Lin Shizhong wants to do with Sheng Ming at this time.
He originally thought it would be difficult to find, but when he opened the information, he found that Sheng Ming's information at this stage was relatively clear, not as difficult to trace as later.
He kept reading until he saw the changes in Sheng Ming’s shareholders in the past two years... and then he saw a familiar name.
Qin Yunxuan.
Qin Xingfeng's half-brother?
