Return the favor
The front desk of S Group received the flowers today after a two-month hiatus. Guan Cheng took them away, and a document was also sent to the president's office along with the flowers.
Su Bai looked at the yellow roses he'd received today, feeling somewhat flattered. Shen Yanshu hadn't spoken to him in ages. He'd gone to wait for her downstairs, only to discover she'd moved out. Later, under the guise of a partnership, he'd gone to the Shen Group, only to discover she hadn't even been to the office. In the vast city of Ningcheng, Shen Yanshu didn't want him to find her. She truly had no clues at all. For the first time, he'd experienced the pain of Shen Yanshu ignoring him.
He thought Shen Yanshu was going to give up on him.
"Boss, don't just look at the flowers." Guan Cheng said, "Take a look at this first."
Then he pushed the file to Su Bai.
Su Bai looked at the document and said, "It seems that she does have a grudge to seek revenge."
Shen Yanshu has this kind of temper. If someone hurts her a little, she will pay it back double, and even give an eye for an eye, and respond in the same disgusting way.
"Boss, can you not smile so happily?" Guan Cheng looked at his smiling face and thought he was crazy.
Su Bai hadn't been able to contact Shen Yanshu these days, and the air pressure in the company had dropped to below zero. Ice was everywhere he went. When two bosses fought, it was the workers like them who got hurt. He didn't understand why a relationship was so serious.
"Miss Chen is really angry this time. Why don't I explain it to her clearly?" Guan Cheng thought, isn't the mouth meant for talking? Guessing about something through the belly doesn't seem like talking about feelings.
"Guan Cheng, she is willing to pay attention to me. Doesn't that mean she is not that angry?" Su Bai said.
Guan Cheng's eyes darkened. This wasn't what he thought when he was blacklisted for two months. After following Su Bai for so many years, he thought he had seen enough ghosts, but he didn't expect his boss to become a ghost.
He now felt that Su Bai was possessed by a ghost and wanted to exorcise the evil spirit for him.
"I think you can understand the words above." Guan Cheng controlled his temper and emphasized the word "you".
"So what if I lose? As long as she's happy, that's all." The cooperation can be discussed again, and the money can be earned again. Besides, he was already prepared when he made the decision.
Su Bai didn't care at all, and Guan Cheng had nothing to say.
"As long as you're happy," Guan Cheng thought. It wasn't his company anyway, so if it went bankrupt, he could just find another job. But as a friend, he felt a little sorry for Su Bai. He had seen over the years he had been in the group that Su Bai wasn't close to his family and wasn't emotionally involved. It would be a shame to let someone he finally liked slip away.
Guan Cheng hesitated for a long time before speaking: "But as a friend, let me say something."
"you say."
"If you and Miss Chen have any misunderstandings, you should clarify them. People have mouths for speaking, and Miss Chen is not the type to beat around the bush. She likes you, and you should cherish her. Of course, no one is perfect, and there are always imperfections. You need to communicate. Even if you flip through a book every day until it's worn out, it's all in vain if Miss Chen doesn't know anything." Guan Cheng simply finished speaking, "By then, the two of you will drift further and further apart, and even if you regret it, you won't be able to buy medicine."
"Miss Shen hasn't seen you in the past two months, and you can't find her either. If you really have feelings for Miss Shen, talk to her while she's relaxed and explain if you can."
Su Bai listened carefully. Some things are more clear to bystanders, and it is wise to listen to other people's opinions appropriately.
"I understand." Su Bai said, "Thank you."
Guan Cheng thought, stop thanking me, it’s better for you two to be safe and sound than anything else.
"By the way, Mr. Wang invites you to a party tonight. Do you want to go?"
Su Bai said, "Okay."
In a private room at a club in Ningcheng, a group of men and women sat together. Su Bai arrived late. As soon as she entered, a man stood up and greeted her, "Boss Su is here. Please take a seat."
Su Bai took a quick look, his face darkened, and he nodded at the man: "Mr. Wang."
Mr. Wang is a Ningcheng native. He doesn't have much talent, having run a small business, but his family background is quite impressive. As the saying goes, "The rich can't compare to the powerful," so he has to give him some respect.
"Thank you, Mr. Su, for your presence today. I'd like to offer you a toast." He raised his glass and drank it.
Mr. Wang hadn't invited Su Bai here today just to drink. S Group had a big project coming up, and he wanted to invest his land in it, so he invited Su Bai to come and test the waters.
He winked at the person next to him, and a beautiful woman sat down next to Su Bai. Everyone was looking at him.
"Mr. Su." The woman held the wine glass with her slender hand and lowered her head, not daring to look at Su Bai.
Su Bai glanced at it and ignored it: "Boss Wang, what does this mean?"
Mr. Wang smiled and said, "Let's drink and make friends. Mr. Su doesn't like it?"
"You can drink the wine, but forget about this."
Mr. Wang winked at the woman and said with a smile, "I'm not very tactful."
Su Bai picked up the wine glass on the table and drank it. He was not used to drinking white wine, and the spicy taste rushed straight into his throat: "I toast to Mr. Wang."
"Boss Su is indeed generous."
"I heard that Mr. Su is busy with a project recently." Mr. Wang said, "I wonder if I can help Mr. Su with something."
Su Bai understood what he meant. This person had used his connections to get the land first, probably for today.
He remembered that he had discussed the site selection with Shen Yanshu last time, and Shen Yanshu chose the land in the south of the city. It had a good geographical location and convenient transportation, making it the best choice.
Thinking of Shen Yanshu's evaluation of Mr. Wang at that time, Su Bai felt funny.
Stupid people are full of troubles and are fools who only think with their lower body.
Su Bai collected his thoughts and replied, "If I need help, I'll naturally let you know. Don't bother us when the time comes."
"Of course not." Mr. Wang said with a smile.
Seeing that Su Bai was a little embarrassed, he asked, "Is Mr. Su drunk?"
Su Bai gets red in the face easily when he drinks, but it was hard to describe the discomfort when he drank white wine for the first time.
He rubbed his brows and loosened his tie. "A little bit, actually. I'll excuse myself, Mr. Wang. We'll meet again next time."
Su Bai stood up and was about to leave, but Mr. Wang stopped him.
Mr. Wang said, "How about I get you a room to rest first?"
Su Bai didn't think much about it and agreed: "Thank you."
Su Bai entered the room alone, closed the door, and fell on the bed. He squinted for a while before opening his eyes. He picked up his phone and sent Guan Cheng his location, asking him to come quickly.
The spiciness of the liquor made Su Bai feel a little dry in the mouth. He stood up, unscrewed the water at the bedside, took a sip, and found that it didn't relieve much. His face was extremely hot, so he stood up and went to the bathroom.
He untied his watch strap and casually placed it on the table. He turned on the water as high as possible and kept wetting his face, as if he was drowning himself. The hair on his forehead was wet and kept dripping. Su Bai looked at himself in the mirror. The last time he looked so messy was when he had just taken over the company and dealt with some old guys. He turned around and leaned on the sink, or more accurately, sat on it, feeling very irritated.
Su Bai took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it and took a puff. The smoke slowly turned into mist and dissipated in front of his eyes. Shen Yanshu's face appeared in his mind. He took out his mobile phone and looked at the conversation with Shen Yanshu.
She still ignored him.
Did it.
Or, is it really just for fun?
He couldn't guess, thinking of the quarrel between Shen Yanshu and Jiang Heming. She was such a resolute and decisive person, and she could really let go if she said she would.
He put out the cigarette on the marble tabletop. The overhead light shone on his face. In the dim and dark environment, he could see Shen Yanshu's brightness more clearly.
It was she who came and it was she who left.
Why.
But he couldn't bear to be angry with her. After all, he was wrong. No matter how much patience he had, he would lose it with someone like him.
He smiled bitterly at himself, feeling cowardly for the first time.
…
The doorbell rang. Su Bai took off his watch and looked at the time. It should be the time to close the city.
When I opened the door, it was Shen Yanshu.
She looked a little angry, and Su Bai saw an unbelievable smile on the corner of his mouth when he saw the person he was thinking about.
"Why are you here?" Su Bai asked in surprise and joy.
Shen Yanshu didn't want to come either; she just happened to come. This hotel had just opened a new ocean-themed parent-child room. She had always loved experiencing these themed parent-child rooms, so she decided to stay for two days to relax.
Unexpectedly, I ran into Mr. Wang in the hallway. He was accompanied by a woman who looked like an 18th-tier celebrity with a distinctive appearance. They walked one after the other. Mr. Wang looked a little drunk, and the woman looked a little nervous. This kind of thing was well known in the circle. Even if it wasn't brought out in public, everyone knew it was disgusting. Some people didn't care about it, but Shen Yanshu couldn't stand it.
"Mr. Wang, long time no see. What's this?"
Seeing that the woman trembled in fear and kept some distance from Mr. Wang, Shen Yanshu thought it was not voluntary.
"Ms. Shen, what a coincidence." Mr. Wang greeted her with a smile, "Don't ask about that."
Shen Yanshu smiled and said, "I'm just curious, who would be the lucky winner of such a beautiful woman?"
Mr. Wang is a careless person. He will say anything after drinking a few sips of wine. I don’t know how many bad things he has done with this mouth.
He narrowed his eyes, leaned close to Shen Yanshu's ear and said, "Boss Su."
Hearing this name, Shen Yanshu's heart tightened. There were more than just Su Bai in Ningcheng with the surname Su, but when he heard the surname Su, Shen Yanshu could only think of Su Bai.
"Which Mr. Su?"
"Who else could it be? Of course it's Mr. Su Baisu."
It would have been fine if she hadn't said anything, but as soon as she did, Shen Yanshu got angry. "F**k, is this what you mean by letting me play with this? What do you mean by not understanding? What do you mean by waiting, ...
Shen Yanshu still had a smile on his face and pointed to the room next to him and said, "This room?"
"Yes, that's it."
"Let me ring the doorbell for you." Shen Yanshu said.
"Thank you, Miss Shen."
Then when he opened the door, he saw that Su Bai was not wearing a coat, his shirt was unbuttoned, there were water droplets on his hair and face, and there was a water stain on his clothes that stuck to his skin, and you could see the traces of his chest muscles, and there was also a smell of cigarette smoke.
Seeing Su Bai asking why he suddenly appeared here, Shen Yanshu closed his eyes and spoke with a hint of hostility: "Why, I shouldn't have come to disturb Mr. Su's good thing?!"
"What good news?" Su Bai looked confused.
Looking to the side following Shen Yanshu's direction, he saw President Wang and a beautiful woman. He could easily guess what was going on.
Mr. Wang noticed that the atmosphere was not right and recalled the rumors two months ago that Miss Shen was pursuing Su Bai. He thought the two had broken up, but it seems that is not the case.
"Which one..." Mr. Wang stammered.
"Boss Su, I'm taking this woman away, or..." Shen Yanshu glanced at Su Bai, holding back his anger. "You want to stay."
Seeing that Shen Yanshu supported her, the woman quickly hid behind her.
"Listen to my explanation. I really don't know. I was drunk and waiting for Guancheng." Su Bai explained, "It's really not what you see."
"I've taken that person away." Shen Yanshu turned her head to look at Mr. Wang, almost gritting her teeth as she spoke, "What do you think?"
Mr. Wang nodded repeatedly: "Listen to Miss Shen."
Su Bai felt that something was wrong. If he couldn't explain it clearly this time, he would be doomed. He stepped forward and grabbed Shen Yanshu's wrist: "Xiaoshu, trust me, okay? I'm not that kind of person."
Shen Yanshu stared into his eyes and twisted his wrist hard, "Get out."
Then he left.
Mr. Wang and Su Bai, who was thrown away, were left looking at each other in bewilderment.
"... Mr. Su, I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence."
Su Bai was originally dissatisfied with him and had endured it before, but now he had offended Shen Yanshu and caused Shen Yanshu to misunderstand him, so he didn't need to do so anymore.
Su Bairen, a tall and strong man, grabbed Mr. Wang by the collar and said, "Go and explain it to her. If you can't explain it clearly, I'm not afraid of getting angry with you."
Mr. Wang looked at Su Bai and agreed repeatedly, as he looked like he wanted to kill someone.
It was really like when it rains it pours, Su Bai punched the wall.
