Shen Jingshu became increasingly anxious, wishing she could kick the door open immediately and rush in to see what was wrong with her younger brother.
Yun Haotian calmly took out his phone. "Mom, don't worry, I'll call Assistant Li! Uncle is so busy all day long, he might be in a meeting right now."
He had just dialed Assistant Li's number when the door was opened from the inside.
The person who opened the door was none other than a stranger.
It has been years since then.
"Sister? Haotian, what brings you here?"
Shen Jingnian was somewhat surprised to see Shen Jingshu and Yun Haotian.
The siblings usually met at the old house, and Shen Jingshu would never take the initiative to come to his apartment.
Today is quite unusual.
"Why didn't you open the door when you were home?" Seeing that her younger brother was alright, Shen Jingshu breathed a sigh of relief and scolded him in a reproachful tone.
It scared her half to death.
I thought something really had happened to my brother!
"I was taking a shower in the bathroom, and my phone was outside, so I didn't hear it ring," Shen Jingnian explained.
Because she had just taken a shower, Shen Jingnian was still wearing a black silk nightgown, and her hair was still wet. Water droplets from the ends of her hair flowed down her neck and onto her collarbone, finally disappearing into the neckline of her bathrobe. The neckline of the tied bathrobe was a little low, and you could vaguely see her abs hidden under the fabric. She had broad shoulders and a narrow waist. Even male models on the catwalk would feel inferior in front of her.
Yun Haotian looked at Shen Jingshu, "Mom, I already told you that Uncle would definitely be fine, but you didn't believe me. Now you believe me, right?"
Shen Jingshu kicked him, "Stop talking nonsense and take the groceries I bought to the kitchen."
After saying that, she looked at Shen Jingnian and said, "Jingnian, go and dry your hair, don't catch a cold. I'm going to the kitchen to cook."
Cook?
Shen Jingnian glanced at Shen Jingshu, his eyes full of doubt. "Sister, are you sure the food you made is edible?"
His older sister was spoiled since childhood; she had never cooked, let alone boiled water.
"What? You underestimate me, huh! I'll show you my culinary skills in a minute and scare you to death!" With that, Chen Jingshu rolled up her sleeves and headed towards the kitchen. "Haotian, come help me!"
An hour later.
Shen Jingshu took off her apron and came to the study door. "Jingnian, dinner is ready."
Shen Jingnian sat in front of his computer, his thin lips pressed tightly together, in the middle of a video conference. When he heard Shen Jingshu's voice, he took off his headphones and muted his microphone. "You guys eat first, I'll be over in a bit."
"OK."
After speaking, Shen Jingnian continued the video conference.
"Go on."
Just three words, as if wrapped in ice.
In the blink of an eye, he transformed back into the ruthless and decisive Master Shen, whose imposing aura, even through a screen, instilled fear in the high-level executives attending the meeting.
A senior executive's voice came through the headset, "Ninth Master, Cheng's Group's latest AAA game is about to be released, and they are the clear favorite for this year's Sky Award. In addition, they are very sincere and their proposal is very innovative. I think we can consider giving this opportunity to Cheng's Group."
Upon hearing this, the other senior executives all nodded in agreement.
The Cheng Group is now thriving, and keeping the opportunity with the Cheng Group is the wisest choice.
"What about the Thrilling Game?" Shen Jingnian asked.
"Currently, Xie Huaijin, a key member of Jidong Games, has left Jidong, so the bidding proposal has not yet been submitted. Although there is an injection of new blood, the strength of the other party is still unknown. Moreover, there are very few people in China who can master 3A technology. It is impossible for Wang Shengli to find someone who can be competent for Xie Huaijin in a short period of time."
Let alone finding someone more capable than Xie Huaijin.
Even finding someone who is on par with Xie Huaijin would be extremely difficult!
Xie Huaijin was Wang Shengli's last trump card. Now that even Xie Huaijin has gone to join the Cheng Group, Wang Shengli is no different from a trapped beast at the bottom of a well!
Almost no one believed that Wang Shengli could successfully complete a AAA game.
All our hopes now rest on the Cheng Group!
"Who says a beast in dire straits can't fight back?" Shen Jingnian tapped the table with his fingers. "That's all for today's meeting. Meeting adjourned."
After closing their laptops, the group of high-ranking officials looked at each other in bewilderment.
Even when they're in dire straits, how can they possibly launch a counterattack?
How is that possible?
"What do you think Ninth Master means? He wouldn't want to choose Jidong, would he? It's still uncertain whether Jidong can deliver its bidding proposal within the stipulated time."
"Ninth Master never makes the wrong choice. Once he sees the proposed solution, he'll naturally know whose to choose!"
