Chapter 17 The Female Supporting Character in the Control Group—The Devilish CEO
Romantic Turkey truly lives up to its reputation, with stunning scenery. After a good night's rest, the four of them set off energetically towards their travel destination.
During these few days, the four of them experienced the romance and excitement of hot air ballooning, drove deep into the valley to experience the magnificence of karst landforms, and felt an indescribable shock when they paraglided down from 2,000 meters above the Dead Sea.
After enjoying the speed and excitement, the four of them visited the castle and church, admiring the beautiful scenery, experiencing different cultures, and overlooking different historical landscapes.
The cousins' role has shifted from bodyguard to personal photographer. Every time Yao Yao visits a new scenic spot, she asks Ji Xingzhi to take photos for her, and then he carefully selects a few good ones to send to Chen Yu.
Chenyu provides emotional value. Whenever he receives Yaoyao's photos, no matter what he is doing at the time, he will stop what he is doing and reply immediately. Every time, he will give different compliments from different angles and aspects.
Yao Yao's photos received great feedback, so she naturally didn't stop. She had developed a habit of sending photos to Chen Yu first and only sharing them on her WeChat Moments after receiving praise.
Once, Shi Dan accidentally saw the two's chat history, and goosebumps rose on her arms again. Shi Dan was speechless and silently gave the couple a nickname in her heart: the "Sweet Couple".
Their trip went far beyond that; they visited several major tourist destinations in Europe.
From the banks of the Seine in France to the Colosseum in Rome, Italy; from Neuschwanstein Castle in Germany to the four fjords of Norway; from the Jungfrau in Switzerland to the Blue Lagoon in Iceland, each place offers a different experience, and even visiting some places twice brings different joys.
At the end of June, Ji Xingzhi checked his college entrance examination score, which was excellent and not much different from his expectations. He was guaranteed admission to Beijing University. Yao Yao was so happy that she went on a shopping spree to celebrate her upcoming university life!
The four of them were so happy they forgot all about home, and spent every day in great joy.
Some people are enjoying their travels, while others can only find solace in photographs to ease their longing.
When the longing grows stronger and stronger, and is about to become uncontrollable, Chen Yu can only find other ways to distract himself, such as working overtime.
The secretaries of the Shen family went home at the same time they did when the big boss was single. No one knew anything about the boss's private affairs, and they could only speculate in private. Some people had already discussed the matter to the point that the couple was having marital problems and going to court to fight for property.
Secretary Zhou has been suffering terribly lately. Ever since that blunder, he's felt that President Shen's gaze towards him is strange, like he's looking at a fool. Although Secretary Zhou admits he was indeed foolish that time, making a huge mistake! Secretary Zhou wishes he could be reborn in that moment to salvage his image as an omnipotent and all-powerful secretary!
The monthly summary meeting was held at the end of the month. Department managers and supervisors entered the meeting room with their respective reports and began to report to Chenyu and the shareholders.
Everyone noticed that President Shen was stricter than ever before. Every time someone finished reporting, President Shen would immediately point out the problems they had, no matter how big or small, without any mercy. In the past, President Shen still had some warmth, but today... he was a pure, cold devil.
Those who had already finished reporting were diligently taking notes on the problems pointed out by General Manager Shen, expressing their shame and promising to correct them immediately and never do it again. Meanwhile, those who hadn't yet reported were already drenched in sweat.
The meeting, which lasted for several hours, ended in a state of trepidation. Secretary Zhou was now wondering what had triggered President Shen. President Shen was being far too nitpicky today!
Shen Yu walked out of the conference room with a cold face, with Secretary Zhou following behind. When they reached the office, Shen Yu turned around and instructed Secretary Zhou: "Pass down the word that the solutions to the problems raised in the conference room today must be submitted to me before the end of the workday."
Secretary Zhou immediately replied, "Yes, Mr. Shen."
Shen Yu sank into the soft seat, pinched the bridge of his nose, and massaged his temples to relieve his fatigue.
The phone rang several times in succession; it was a WeChat notification. Chen Yu immediately perked up, opened the phone, and saw a message from the person he expected.
During this period, since Yaoyao and Shidan were staying in the same room, they rarely video chatted and mostly communicated through text or voice.
Yao Yao first posted several photos, which were exterior photos of four people sitting in a high-end restaurant having a meal.
[Honey, Ji Xingzhi's grades are out! 628 points! He can get into the prestigious Beijing University!]
We're celebrating Ji Xingzhi's birthday!
Ji Xingzhi said thank you for the treat, brother-in-law (shyly covering his mouth and laughing)
Upon seeing his brother-in-law's grades, Shen Yu immediately offered his congratulations.
[Xingzhi did very well on the exam, honey. Tell your brother-in-law not to be so polite. I'll celebrate with him again when he comes to the capital to study.]
[Xingzhi can stay at our house if he gets into university in Beijing. By the way, does Xingzhi have a driver's license? If so, I'll give him a car as a gift for getting into university.]
Yao Yao showed her phone to her younger brother, who was eating steak. Ji Xingzhi couldn't stop smiling when he saw his brother-in-law's praise.
Ji Xingzhi: "Sis, tell brother-in-law that I won't disturb your time together. I've never lived in a dormitory before, and I still want to experience communal living. I don't have a driver's license yet, and I don't have time to take the test. I'll take it when we get back, and once I get the license, I'll ask brother-in-law for a car!"
Yao Yao: "Okay, I'll tell your brother-in-law."
Yao Yao relayed Ji Xingzhi's words in voice.
Shen Yu also sent a voice message: "Okay, once Xingzhi gets his license, he can choose any brand of car he wants, with no price limit."
"Wow!" Shen Yu's voice was met with a collective exclamation from the three of them.
Ji Xingzhi: "My brother-in-law is so domineering!"
Shi Dan: "Yao Mei's husband is incredibly wealthy!"
Ji Xingyun: "Sister, ask your brother-in-law if you can give me a gift. As your cousin, I also went to university and now I have a driver's license. I also want to experience what it's like to be pampered by your brother-in-law."
Yaoyao: "..."
Shi Dan raised her hand and slapped Ji Xingyun on the back, saying speechlessly, "Have you no shame!"
Ji Xingyun felt a little wronged and muttered, "What's a little shame compared to something you get for free!"
Shi Dan: "..."
Ji Xingzhi couldn't stand it anymore: "Cousin, just keep pretending. You have a lot of money in your pocket but you're reluctant to spend it. You're such a tightwad!"
Ji Xingyun didn't care about his cousin's teasing at all. Speaking in the tone of someone who had been through it all, he said, "Little brother, it's not that I'm unwilling to spend money, it's that I don't have any money to spend. Once you enter society, there are too many places to spend money. If you don't have enough earning power, it's better to spend it sparingly."
Seemingly sensing the unspoken meaning, Ji Xingzhi bluntly asked, "Cousin, you haven't failed in your investment yet, have you?"
Ji Xingyun: "..."
Yaoyao: "..."
Shi Dan: "..."
Silence. A moment of silence followed, then Ji Xingyun gave an awkward, wry smile.
Shi Dan glared angrily at Ji Xingyun across from her. If looks could kill, Ji Xingyun would be in a terrible state right now!
