Chapter 59 The Ninth Day of the Five-Person Shura Field Who the hell is the one who invited...?
When Wen Hezhou's agent arrived.
Ji Ye's agent and assistant Li's trembling hands have gradually calmed down.
Assistant Li politely moved aside on the sofa for Pei Zhi.
While asking their CEO what he liked.
Wen Hezhou's agent even felt that Assistant Li was playing him for a fool.
They deliberately tricked him into coming to see Pei Zhi.
It should be noted that the Pei Group, apart from Assistant Li, is not a major player.
Who wants to see Pei Zhi?
Although Pei Zhi is only 24 years old this year, there is a sense of oppression that suddenly arises when you are within ten meters of him.
Even Wen Hezhou's agent felt extremely uncomfortable.
Wen Hezhou's agent was unaware that Pei Zhi was looking at something on his phone at that moment.
He had no choice but to bite the bullet and abruptly retract his boastful words after opening the door, "Where is Wen Hezhou! Assistant Li, don't lie to me..."
Then, steeling himself, he walked towards Pei Zhi's direction.
Wen Hezhou's agent, while inwardly cursing Assistant Li, forced a smile and addressed Pei Zhi: "President."
Pei Zhi responded calmly.
He didn't look up.
The atmosphere became even more oppressive.
Wen Hezhou's agent tugged at Assistant Li.
Assistant Li didn't dare to speak.
Ji Ye's agent also remained silent.
Until Pei Zhi casually said, "Sit."
The group of people sat on the sofa like little chicks, not daring to move an inch.
Ji Ye: "Zhou Jingchi took out the ice. Marinating with ice will make the chicken firmer."
That sound...
Wen Hezhou's agent paused.
Looking up, a vaguely familiar voice echoed in my mind, overlapping with Ji Ye in my line of sight.
Wen Hezhou's agent fell into a brief silence.
Wen Hezhou's agent was still in a daze.
From the open kitchen, another familiar voice rang out: "Anything else? Would you like lemons?"
Ji Ye: "Yes."
?
Wen Hezhou's agent was completely stunned.
He ignored Pei Zhi's surprise at being there and rubbed his eyes.
It wasn't until after several massages that Wen Hezhou's agent vaguely realized...
The voices he heard and the people he saw were indeed Zhou Jingchi and Ji Ye…
? ? ?
Aren't these two young masters who never lift a finger?
Why are we cooking here?
Where is the nanny?
Why didn't the nanny come?
Wen Hezhou's agent had a bad impression of the villa's nanny.
More than a month ago, Wen Hezhou was already very cautious about nannies, domestic workers, and any service personnel who might be close to him.
The answer is that Wen Hezhou, as a child star, has a very wide age range of audiences.
Whether they are grandmothers, mothers, peers, younger generations, or even younger people, there are people who like Wen Hezhou.
This led to Wen Hezhou being extremely cautious in his recruitment and screening process for relevant positions, screening candidates repeatedly.
Even with such caution, ten years ago, when he was recruiting a second assistant for Wen Hezhou, he still managed to hire a stalker fan. The frequent harassment, and ultimately the threats and suicide attempts, greatly affected Wen Hezhou's personality.
Since then, Wen Hezhou has become more distant from his fans.
Wen Hezhou's agent also became more sensitive and wary of people because of that big incident.
What's more, Xie Ruan, the nanny who was given Wen Hezhou's name as soon as she joined the company, or even just Wen Hezhou's name?
Wen Hezhou's agent immediately went on the alarm.
Therefore, Wen Hezhou's agent, like Wen Hezhou, is affected by what happened back then.
This resulted in an extremely bad impression of Xie Ruan.
Wen Hezhou's agent thought.
In addition, both employers are now self-employed in the kitchen, and the nanny is not around.
This further worsened Wen Hezhou's manager's subconscious judgment of Xie Ruan's professional attitude.
Wen Hezhou's agent frowned and looked around.
He knew Wen Hezhou wouldn't be here.
Wen Hezhou's agent turned on his phone.
Send another message to Wen Hezhou.
Wen Hezhou still did not reply.
Wen Hezhou's agent was extremely anxious.
With a "ding," the elevator doors opened.
But that interrupted his plan to leave.
*
Ten minutes ago.
Wen Hezhou's room.
Wen Hezhou pressed down on Xie Ruan, and his words still echoed in Xie Ruan's ears.
“Ah Ruan.”
"Who gave you this one?"
Wen Hezhou's voice suddenly turned icy cold.
Unlike his usual gentle voice, Xie Ruan's keen senses quickly picked up on the fact that Wen Hezhou seemed a little angry.
Xie Ruan even caught a whiff of something in the air...
It's inexplicable.
It smells like vinegar.
Xie Ruan didn't quite understand which specific sentence she was tasting this flavor from.
Xie Ruan just felt that Wen Hezhou's emotions seemed a bit off.
He doesn't seem to like receiving gifts from others.
But these are his things.
Why does Wen Hezhou have such a strong possessive streak?
Xie Ruan didn't quite understand, and the ahoge (cowlick) on the top of Xie Ruan's head suddenly stood up.
Xie Ruan confessed honestly, but her voice was a little coquettish: "It was... Brother Jiang Zhi. He said he could use it to offset the salary he gave me separately, since he was added to the team temporarily."
Wen Hezhou: "Jiang Zhi...?"
Wen Hezhou searched for the name in his mind.
Xie Ruan: "It's the one who sits in a wheelchair. Pei Zhi doesn't sit in a wheelchair, but Jiang Zhi does. Jiang Zhi is Pei Zhi's nephew."
Wen Hezhou raised an eyebrow: "..."
It turned out that Xie Ruan had mistaken Pei Zhi for his nephew.
Jiang Zhi and Pei Zhi are not that similar.
Wen Hezhou, however, did not expose Pei Zhi's concealment from Xie Ruan.
He simply leaned closer and said, "Thank you, Ruan."
Wen Hezhou felt that Xie Ruan had called him "brother" far too often.
Wen Hezhou: "Brother, brother, brother, it seems like our Aruan has too many good brothers."
Wen Hezhou: "According to what you just said, what should you call me?"
Wen Hezhou had come to terms with Xie Ruan calling others "brother".
At this time.
It was playing on repeat in Xie Ruan's mind.
Only Xie Ruan's blushing face rang out just now—
“He Zhou…”
"Brother He Zhou..."
Xie Ruan was too embarrassed to speak again.
Wen Hezhou didn't even notice his chin slightly tilting up after hearing the voice. He simply leaned closer and looked at the card Pei Zhi had given him: "Can you tell the difference between the two cards?"
Xie Ruan shook her head.
Wen Hezhou curled the corners of his lips: "Here, number five is my card number."
Xie Ruan touched it.
He nodded as he looked at the number above.
Wen Hezhou: "He didn't tell you to just swipe it, did he?"
Xie Ruan seemed to have heard this saying before, but since it was wages, there was no reason to just swipe them.
Xie Ruan nodded.
Wen Hezhou seemed quite satisfied.
This kind of treatment, where only he allowed Xie Ruan to use his services freely, was the first of its kind in the world.
Wen Hezhou: "This number five..."
Wen Hezhou took out Pei Zhi's card and tossed it into Xie Ruan's pants pocket.
Then, he extended his long, slender, and smooth fingers and took out his card.
Xie Ruan was still in a daze.
Wen Hezhou then played with the card he had pulled out, turning it over and over in his hand a few times, before gently slipping it into Xie Ruan's shirt pocket. "I'm not like that man. You can swipe my card as you please, Xie Ruan."
Wen Hezhou stuck the card into Xie Ruan's chest.
Xie Ruan sensed it.
Wen Hezhou was so close that Xie Ruan's breath was directly on his face.
Wen Hezhou didn't seem to care.
Xie Ruan sensed it.
Wen Hezhou moved even closer.
Xie Ruan's breathing became much more labored.
He didn't know what Wen Hezhou was trying to do, but a suppressed emotion flashed in his eyes as he looked at Wen Hezhou.
Before Xie Ruan could react, her body was suddenly suspended in mid-air, held in Wen Hezhou's arms.
Xie Ruan was so nervous that she didn't even hear her phone flashing.
She simply let Wen Hezhou hold her, listening to his light chuckle and teasing: "Go down, some people are looking for you frantically."
Xie Ruan's ahoge (cowlick) suddenly stood up: ?
Wen Hezhou chuckled softly, lowered his body, and brought his lips even closer to Xie Ruan's.
The breath that Wen Hezhou exhaled made Xie Ruan in his arms instinctively shrink back, still feeling apprehensive.
Xie Ruan then heard Wen Hezhou's enigmatic, drawn-out voice: "Or perhaps, Ruan, you want... to be alone with me?"
Wen Hezhou stood still, his leisurely gaze falling casually on Xie Ruan.
Xie Ruan was no longer able to think.
He simply watched Wen Hezhou leaning against the door frame.
She seemed to want to be alone with him.
Xie Ruan wouldn't dare.
Xie Ruan felt like he couldn't breathe if he stayed with Wen Hezhou any longer.
Xie Ruan shook her head subconsciously.
I still want to make amends.
Wen Hezhou suddenly leaned forward.
Xie Ruan: ?
Leaning forward.
Xie Ruan felt her earlobe being gently bitten.
Xie Ruan: ...
That's weird QaQ.
*
Xie Ruan could hardly remember how she got up there.
Xie Ruan had just been fed by Ji Ye and then fled up here.
Xie Ruan thought to herself that she had just spent far too much time with Wen Hezhou.
Logically speaking, given Ji Ye's patience, he should have gone back to his room long ago.
So even now, Xie Ruan is being carried away by Wen Hezhou.
Xie Ruan probably won't have any work to do, and she probably won't see anyone else either.
Xie Ruan only needs to wait for Wen Hezhou to return to his room.
Xie Ruan can stay on the first floor by herself, which is just right.
Xie Ruan's ahoge (cowlick) stood up happily.
Xie Ruan could never hide her feelings; when she was happy, her expression was obvious.
The men had already noticed.
But Xie Ruan was completely unaware of it.
Xie Ruan even thought she had kept it a secret very well.
Xie Ruan blinked her beautiful, dark eyes, looked at Wen Hezhou with a coquettish expression, and said slowly in a tone she didn't want to use, "I... I just... didn't want to bother you, brother..."
Xie Ruan felt Wen Hezhou's gaze fall upon her.
The texture of the card in Xie Ruan's pocket was too clear.
Xie Ruan almost instantly changed her address to "Brother He Zhou".
Wen Hezhou seemed quite satisfied, pressing down the corners of his mouth and softening his expression slightly. Even Xie Ruan felt that Wen Hezhou had become much easier to talk to at this moment.
Xie Ruan silently breathed a sigh of relief. Remembering what Wen Hezhou had just opened on the laptop, she asked, "Also, brother, didn't you say that if I agreed to change my mind, you should tell me what's displayed on the computer?"
Wen Hezhou raised an eyebrow.
Xie Ruan, nestled in his arms, was overtly curious.
He had initially thought that Xie Ruan was deliberately being ignorant.
As a result, even after so long, Xie Ruan was still asking.
Wen Hezhou's gaze swept over Xie Ruan from top to bottom.
Xie Ruan, who was in his arms, turned even redder.
Wen Hezhou's gaze fell on Xie Ruan's eyelashes: "Surveillance."
Xie Ruan did not respond.
There was no trembling.
Wen Hezhou thought for a moment: "Don't you know? There are surveillance cameras in the villa."
Xie Ruan shook his head. In fact, as a person from the apocalypse, he didn't know what surveillance was.
However, Wen Hezhou was too frank, so Xie Ruan could only nod in a pretense, but her eyes still revealed an undisguised bewilderment.
?
This time, it was Wen Hezhou who was confused.
Wen Hezhou: "You don't know what surveillance is?"
It's highly unlikely that modern people wouldn't know this.
Wen Hezhou was in the elevator, but had not yet pressed the button.
Xie Ruan was pressed too hard by Wen Hezhou's probing gaze, so she could only nod reluctantly.
Wen Hezhou looked at Xie Ruan with a probing gaze, his innate suspicion making him instinctively want to find a flaw in Xie Ruan's statement. "Simply put, it's real-time video recording and the device that records the recording. It can transmit any scene from the filming location to the computer, meaning that as long as I log into the port, I can view any place I've recorded in real time."
Xie Ruan was completely confused.
Wen Hezhou unusually switched to a more colloquial way of putting it: "It means that I can know and see everything you do in the villa, even when I'm not there."
Xie Ruan's eyes widened.
Wait? ?
Wen Hezhou: "I only installed surveillance cameras in the kitchen and living room. I just installed them this month for security reasons."
Xie Ruan's eyes looked even bigger.
Xie Ruan was still trying to comfort herself.
Fortunately, he has hardly been in the kitchen or living room this month.
Xie Ruan heard Wen Hezhou's voice: "But you must know that this villa is equipped with surveillance cameras, right? In the kitchen, living room, corridor, garden, and other public areas."
Xie Ruan's eyes shifted.
Wait.
Xie Ruan was shocked.
He almost instinctively pictured himself playing with a broom, dancing, running, or even lounging on the sofa in the hallway when his employers weren't around.
So those...
He thought no one was watching...
Xie Ruan's cheeks flushed almost instantly.
Wen Hezhou's gaze fell on Xie Ruan, a slight smile playing on his lips: "You did something shameful?"
Wen Hezhou leaned closer, and Xie Ruan subconsciously covered her face: "No, no, I am, I am, a proper nanny."
Wen Hezhou watched Xie Ruan's even stronger reaction and her efforts to cover it up. He felt it was just like trying to hide something obvious. "Is that so? It's a pity that only Pei Zhi can enter the port. I'll ask Pei Zhi to let me see that part next time."
When Xie Ruan heard that Pei Zhineng was going in, her bristling hairs fell down as if she had breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, who is Pei Zhi?
Xie Ruan knew this all too well.
Xie Ruan knew that Pei Zhi was a workaholic.
There's no way you can see any surveillance footage, that kind of surveillance!
In other words, his embarrassing moments will definitely not be seen by anyone?
Xie Ruan got angry again when she heard Wen Hezhou's suggestion to come.
Then, Xie Ruan, who was anxious, seemed to have suddenly thought of a good idea. She curled the corner of her mouth and then said with a serious face, "Brother He Zhou, Pei Zhi, Brother Pei Zhi, he is so cold. It must be very troublesome for you to communicate with him."
None of these employers had a good relationship with Pei Zhi.
Xie Ruan pouted, "Looking at this useless stuff all of a sudden is pointless, isn't it? Why don't we start looking now? Maybe there'll be something interesting! Before, it was all just me alone!! I was almost always in my room, never outside, so it was boring!! Absolutely!!!"
Xie Ruan blinked her beautiful big eyes.
Wen Hezhou was just joking.
Seeing Xie Ruan's earnest expression, Wen Hezhou smiled gently and pressed the button, "Okay."
Xie Ruan's tone became a little weaker: "Brother He Zhou is the best person in the whole world."
Wen Hezhou pressed down on the corners of his mouth.
"Ding." The elevator doors opened.
Xie Ruan happened to bump into Pei Zhi, who was sitting in a wheelchair at the time.
And, as I just said in the elevator: "Brother He Zhou is the best person in the world."
*
When Xie Ruan turned her head, she felt that Jiang Zhi's gaze had become even colder: "..."
Wait.
Xie Ruan felt a little guilty.
The feeling of being caught red-handed, suddenly being told in front of another good older brother that someone else is the real good older brother, is quite embarrassing.
Xie Ruan felt like her paws were going to become like a kitten's paws, and she couldn't help but scratch.
Before Xie Ruan could react, Pei Zhi, whom Xie Ruan mistook for "Jiang Zhi," suddenly snatched her from Wen Hezhou's arms.
The feeling of going from one person's arms to another's is subtle.
Xie Ruan always felt like she was passing a baton, feeling dizzy and disoriented.
Xie Ruan couldn't even care less why "Jiang Zhi" had stood up again.
Isn't Jiang Zhi disabled in the leg?!
Xie Ruan was still bewildered.
Xie Ruan simply let Jiang Zhi carry her to the kitchen.
Xie Ruan was fine before she entered the kitchen, but as soon as she did, she was startled by the sudden upward gaze of Zhou Jingchi and Ji Ye.
And nobody said anything!
Wow, everyone's here now!
Moreover, Xie Ruan was watching Wen Hezhou's surveillance footage just now.
It seems like I saw it...
Just Assistant Li?
Someone Xie Ruan doesn't know?
how? ?
Xie Ruan turned her head.
I thought I could escape their scorching gaze.
Unexpectedly, he did not escape the intense gaze.
When Xie Ruan turned her head, she saw Jiang Zhi's gaze.
Wen Hezhou's gaze.
Assistant Li's gaze.
besides?
Xie Ruan did not know her.
However, it was Wen Hezhou's agent.
Ji Ye's agent's gaze?
*
Xie Ruan froze completely.
While Xie Ruan was still at an impasse, Pei Zhi patiently peeled an orange and put a segment into Xie Ruan's mouth.
Xie Ruan remained frozen.
The sweet and sour taste filled Xie Ruan's mouth.
It's so delicious!
With food, Xie Ruan briefly forgot about the current stalemate.
After Pei Zhi patiently waited for him to finish eating the whole orange that Pei Zhi had peeled.
Then turn your head.
Xie Ruan saw Wen Hezhou, who had already tied on an apron.
Ji Ye and Zhou Jingchi, who had been busy in the kitchen for half the day.
Today, there are so many people.
Xie Ruan's brain went blank.
Wen Hezhou had already cut a fruit platter in the kitchen, coated it with salad dressing, and fed it to Xie Ruan with toothpicks.
As for Ji Ye?
They're making sauerkraut fish right now.
and……
Zhou Jingchi.
They are currently trying to carve patterns on the radish.
Plating.
The five people in the kitchen looked like a beautiful painting.
The scene was so beautiful that it almost made Assistant Lee, Ji Ye, and Wen Hezhou's two managers, who were not in the kitchen but could see the open kitchen from the living room, stand still, as if they had been photoshopped in.
Assistant Li and others: "..."
The three of them were speechless as they looked at the scene.
They weren't even aware of how stiff their bodies were as they sat there.
Seeing the rare harmonious scene, and Zhou Jingchi, having finished carving the radish, leaning closer to Xie Ruan and asking, "Ruan, look, do you like it?"
Ji Ye's agent: "...Um, Young Master Zhou is a radish carver, do you want to ask the nanny if she likes him?"
Wen Hezhou's agent: "..."
This reality is so surreal that even Wen Hezhou's agent, who witnessed the scene firsthand, dared not comment.
The two continued watching.
After Xie Ruan nodded, Zhou Jingchi's smile became obvious.
Ji Ye's manager: "...Um, has Zhou Jingchi ever smiled like this before?" He remembered Zhou Jingchi as having a cold and aloof face.
Wen Hezhou's agent: "We should also ask Lao Zhang to come and take a look."
Lao Zhang is Zhou Jingchi's agent.
Ji Ye's agent said, "He probably wouldn't be able to accept seeing this. After all, Zhou Jingchi has been with him for so many years and they've never been this close. He even asked about radish flowers. It's good enough that he didn't cause any trouble by having such a stern face."
Wen Hezhou's agent: "..."
Zhou Jingchi opened the packaging bag, and the beautiful cakes were all packed into pretty boxes.
Zhou Jingchi opened a box of individually wrapped cream puffs, took a small fork, picked one up, and brought it close to Xie Ruan: "Ruan, try this. I just bought it for you today."
Ji Ye's agent caught the crucial information: "Zhou Jingchi is saying that he bought it?"
Wen Hezhou's agent frowned: "Isn't it too eye-catching for an artist to go directly to a store and buy something?"
Wen Hezhou's agent, caught off guard by his professional habit, turned on his phone.
I just happened to see that Zhou Jingchi queued for six hours at a popular online store to buy desserts and was surrounded by people signing autographs for half an hour.
Wen Hezhou's agent: "I knew it."
Wen Hezhou's agent felt a headache coming on for Zhou Jingchi's agent, Lao Zhang.
He looked up again at Zhou Jingchi, who was beaming with joy at the slightest bit of sunshine. He propped his head up and felt that Zhou Jingchi looked exactly like a sycophant.
I queued for six hours to buy desserts for my nanny.
He even carved radish flowers for the nanny to please her.
What kind of behavior is this!
Wen Hezhou's agent said, "My Wen Hezhou handles this very well. It must be because the nanny's cooking is bad that he helped cook." His Wen Hezhou clearly has anorexia.
Even while on vacation, Wen Hezhou was still worried sick about these people, which really made Wen Hezhou's agent feel sorry for him.
Unexpectedly, Wen Hezhou's agent was still imagining things.
Ji Ye's agent coughed lightly: "That doesn't seem right."
Wen Hezhou's agent: "?"
Ji Ye's agent, as if watching a joke, pointed to the kitchen and said, "Look at your Wen Hezhou. If he's going to feed the nanny a piece of fruit, he should be doing it with the attitude of a gentle god taking care of someone."
Ji Ye's agent would have loved to eat melon seeds and gossip if he didn't have melon seeds. "So what if he fed him one piece after another, with a dark face, silently competing with Pei Zhi to see who could feed him more?"
Wen Hezhou's agent: "What nonsense are you talking about? Our Teacher Wen would never do that."
Ji Ye's agent said, "Look, one-sixth of that fruit platter is gone, and Teacher Wen is still patiently picking strawberry stems from the nanny's strawberries."
Wen Hezhou's agent: "..."
Ji Ye's agent: "I think your teacher Wen is not far from lining up to buy desserts. Be careful, be careful. It would be hilarious if it became a trending topic that Teacher Wen and Zhou Jingchi were fighting over a nanny."
Wen Hezhou's manager's face darkened; he had never suffered such humiliation. He remained silent, still pondering how his teacher, Wen, could not possibly be close to the nanny, especially one who had offended him. Just then, he saw Ji Ye, who hadn't moved an inch, approach, frowning.
I peeled a braised prawn and fed it to Xie Ruan.
This harmonious scene has clearly formed a new and perfect painting.
As for the three people in the living room...
At this moment, however, he stood there like a clown, motionless.
No one spoke.
It wasn't until much later that Wen Hezhou's agent spoke up: "See? Your Ji Ye is no better than me."
Ji Ye's agent gritted his teeth: "It was just a kind gesture to take care of a nanny, how could it mean anything else? The only one who was holding him was your teacher, Ms. Wen. You must have seen it in the elevator just now, right? A princess carry, so intimate! And they were coming down from upstairs, which means the nanny was in his room just now, right?"
There's no way Ji Ye would compete with someone else for a man under these circumstances.
Wen Hezhou's agent: "Stop joking, didn't we give that to President Pei? Our Wen Hezhou and President Pei share an elevator. Maybe he has a leg problem, so they gave him special permission to go up and carry him down."
Assistant Li: "Stop joking! Have you forgotten? The president just came in asking, 'Where's Xie Ruan?' He definitely doesn't know where Xie Ruan is!!"
The three of them shifted the blame.
In the end, they found that they hadn't shaken off anyone.
The three of them turned their heads again.
Unexpectedly, I happened to see Xie Ruan being held in Pei Zhi's arms, Wen Hezhou's arms, and Pei Zhi's arms in turn.
There's also Zhou Jingchi, who's furious and wants to hug him too.
In the end, all three of them complained together—
"Cook."
"Holding him/her."
"Buy desserts."
"Who the hell is this ancestor we invited?"
