His gaze was soft as he watched Jiang Qing leave, but when he turned around and took out his phone, Shen Shi's gaze immediately turned icy.
Countless threatening text messages and gory photos appeared as he swiped his finger. After a cursory glance, Shen Shi didn't even frown, replying expressionlessly: [Keep dreaming!]
Instead of resorting to threats, you should think carefully about which posture you should take to the guillotine to leave yourself with a complete corpse and die with some dignity.
After venting his anger and venting his frustration, Chen Shi raised his hand and added the person to his blacklist.
This kind of garbage, let alone just looking at it, is a deadly pollutant to your phone even if it just stays in your messaging app.
Whether it was intentional on the part of the university administration targeting young couples or not, the distance between the male and female dormitories is as far as the Milky Way.
Chen Shi walked along the sycamore-lined avenue, letting his mind wander as he went.
He had experienced too much and too complicated things during this period, to the point that he felt somewhat overwhelmed.
Just as he was pondering, his phone suddenly rang, startling him from his reverie.
However, when he saw the name in the contact, he immediately lost all his anger.
No matter how big the world is, it can't compare to the size of one's father-in-law, because he likes someone else's daughter.
"Hey, Uncle Jiang, it's so late..."
Before Shen Shi could finish his polite words, Jiang's father interrupted him anxiously.
"Xiao Shen, where are you now? Is there anyone else with you? Is it convenient for you to talk?"
Jiang's father spoke very quickly, and even though she couldn't see his expression, she could feel his anxiety.
The tense atmosphere spread through the phone line. Shen Shi glanced around nervously, and after confirming that no one was around, he immediately replied, "It's fine. I'm all alone. Please feel free to tell me what's wrong."
"I'm telling you, Xiao Shen, you're truly amazing!"
Jiang's father lowered his voice and said mysteriously, "I ordered my men to investigate as you said, and sure enough, the Chen family has some unclean things going on. They have white hair all over their bodies and still have the nerve to call others demons. Bah!"
"Since they're making things difficult for the Jiang family, I, Jiang Xianzong, will certainly not let them have an easy time either. They'll have to see if they can swallow this piece of fat meat!"
At this moment, Jiang's father revealed the ruthlessness and decisiveness of a businessman, his tone filled with gritted teeth, as if he wished he could tear the Chen family apart to vent his hatred.
Shen Shi listened quietly on the other end of the phone until Jiang's father finished speaking, and then tactfully offered his opinion.
“Uncle, it’s true that an eye for an eye is right, but don’t forget that the Jiang family is also in a precarious situation and could collapse at any time. You should prioritize the overall situation, pretend to be friendly with them for now, and take action after you’ve dealt with the Jiang family’s troubles.”
Using a disabled body to fight is clearly not a wise move. Although Shen Shi's proposed solution was a compromise, it was indeed the best option to let go.
Unexpectedly, Jiang's father disagreed, and instead sighed, "Alas, Xiao Shen, you are still too young."
“Although it wasn’t my fault, Jiang Xianlin is my younger brother and the project manager I promoted. He’s made such a huge mess that I and the Jiang family are also responsible. It’s not so easy for us to get away unscathed.”
After listening to Jiang's father's words, Shen Shi also felt that there was some truth to them.
Although the Chen family's past isn't exactly clean, that doesn't mean the Jiang family can get away with it.
His claim of being a prophet and revealing the plot can probably only buy the Jiang family some more time; after that, they can only leave it to fate.
"So what do you plan to do?" he asked tentatively.
"At this point, we have no choice but to sacrifice the pawn to save the pawn. It's just a pity for my brother. Jiang Xianlin is a scoundrel and a scoundrel, but he is still my own brother, born of the same mother. It's really..."
As Jiang Xianzong spoke, he seemed to feel a little reluctant, and suddenly paused.
But Shen Shi knew in his heart that a businessman who could reach his position, no matter how much he valued relationships, would not put them first.
They say they're reluctant, but when it comes to his involvement, they run away faster than a rabbit.
Human nature is like this, and there's nothing that can be done about it; Shen Shi wasn't surprised at all.
He couldn't care less about Jiang Xianlin; if it weren't for Jiang Qing, he wouldn't have even saved the Jiang family.
No! Perhaps he will be saved. After all, he is just a poor student, and gaining Jiang Xianzong's favor would be a great opportunity for him to rise to the top.
"Uncle's brotherly affection is admirable, but if I may be blunt, while you may think of brotherhood, others may not." This was what Shen Shi thought in his heart, but what he said aloud was quite different.
These words struck a chord with Jiang Xianzong. In fact, he had already made his decision, but he just wanted to find a way to back down gracefully.
Just when he was feeling sleepy, this was a perfect opportunity; Chen Shi gave him this chance to save face.
While thinking to himself, "This young man is really getting it," Jiang's father let out another long sigh.
This time, however, Shen Shi sensed a feeling of relief in his voice.
Chen Shi waited quietly, and almost the next second, Jiang's father said with a sense of relief, "Alas, it seems that this is the only way. His brother's injustice cannot be blamed on my heartlessness."
"Hmm." Shen Shi didn't offer any opinion, only responding softly.
Since secretly joining forces with Jiang's father, Shen Shi, a college student, has witnessed too many dark sides and learned too much about ugliness.
It is often said that money is the enemy of humanity; it tempts honest people to corruption and corrupts upright people.
But is that really the case? How can money, which is immovable, entice living, breathing people?
Ultimately, it was his own choice; he simply returned the money and admitted his mistake.
Jiang Xianlin, who has never lacked food or clothing since childhood, even went so far as to evade taxes and break the law in order to line his own pocket. Is he really that short of money?
No! Of course not. The reason he went this far is because desire is like a bottomless abyss, which no amount of money can fill.
Money is a good thing. With it, you can turn saints into beasts, speak good as bad, and make people like him, who are at the bottom of society, work like oxen and horses for their entire lives.
In the dead of night, the campus was so quiet you could hear a pin drop. Shen Shi stood quietly, and from the outside, his face showed no emotion.
But only he knew that the roar in his heart was almost impossible to suppress.
He didn't want to be a slave to money; he wanted to be its master. So where could he find money?
The answer is simple: Jiang's father on the other end of the phone is none other than the major financial backer.
The two did not hang up the phone. Perhaps because a huge weight had been lifted from his heart, Jiang's father became unusually talkative. Chen Shi listened quietly, occasionally responding with an "uh-huh".
It wasn't until Jiang's father mentioned Jiang Qing that his thoughts gradually returned to him.
"What did you say?" Lost in thought, Shen Shi didn't hear the question clearly and subconsciously asked back.
