Just then, Shi Xi, who was sleeping soundly, suddenly felt a coldness in his feet. He muttered a few words under his breath, silently pulled his exposed feet back in, and drifted back into sleep.
The next morning, Shi Xi finished washing up early and went downstairs to have breakfast.
As the saying goes, skipping breakfast is like committing slow suicide.
As soon as I came downstairs, I saw Jiang Fuhai, who was in his fifties and looked a little pale. Seeing him come down, Jiang Fuhai coughed lightly and said, "You're awake? Come and eat."
"Coming right away." Shi Xi sat down opposite him, took the millet porridge Jiang Fuhai handed her, and said, "Thank you, Dad."
"Ahem... No need for such formalities between father and son. Who brought you home last night? Did you make some friends?"
Jiang Fuhai became somewhat agitated, and coughed again, his face growing even paler.
He skillfully picked up the medicine prepared on the table, swallowed the pills with water, and asked in a deep voice.
"Yes, we've made friends." Shi Xi stood up, gently patted his back, and sat down again when she saw that he was feeling better.
She picked up a golden-brown fried egg, took a bite, and added, "He's a very good and outstanding guy."
Jiang Fuhai paused for a moment, but was not dissatisfied because of the other person's gender.
Instead, he said, "It doesn't matter if it's a man or a woman, as long as you like it."
"Dad is right." Shi Xi nodded.
Jiang Fuhai looked pleased, his eyes slightly red, and said, "Remember, be kind to others, don't end up like me..."
Every family has its own troubles.
Jiang Fuhai loved his wife very much.
When he first started his business, he was a poor young man.
He and Wanrou lived a very frugal life, huddled in a cheap rented room, eating meager meals every day, yet they were very happy.
After he goes out for social events and drinks, he will pack up Wanrou's favorite foods and bring them home, covering them to his chest, just so his wife can have a hot meal.
He watched Wanrou happily eating her favorite dishes and said to her, "Wanrou, when we're rich, I'll buy a big villa, and we'll live there. We'll never have to live this hard life again."
Wanrou looked at him with sparkling eyes, then tugged at his ear and scolded, "Fine, then I'll look forward to living a good life. But before that, drink less alcohol. Last time you drank so much you had a stomach hemorrhage, it almost scared me to death, Jiang Fuhai, you have no idea..."
He laughed and promised to drink less in the future, and then the two of them started joking around.
Through his efforts, their lives improved.
Finally, one day, he saved up enough money, and he immediately kept his promise and bought a villa.
He excitedly called Wanrou and asked her to come and see their new home.
He stood in front of the villa, dressed in a suit and tie, holding the diamond ring that Wanrou had wanted for a long time but had never asked for.
He repeated his vows over and over again, so nervous that he kept adjusting his tie.
Looking at the proposal scene that he had personally arranged and meticulously prepared.
He thought that when Wanrou arrived, he would kneel on one knee and propose to her again.
But he didn't wait for Wanrou; he only received news of her death.
Wanrou died; she died on the way here.
He died from drunk driving by a truck driver.
He felt like the sky had fallen.
He went to the driver's house with the knife in his hand.
He's going to kill him!
Kill that culprit!!
But in the end, he did not carry out the act; instead, he chose to forgive, even though he was in great pain.
They didn't take a single penny from the other party and let the murderer go.
In the dead of night, he would ask himself again and again, "Is what I'm doing really the right thing to do?"
Finally, he got the answer.
Before her death, Wanrou left a note in her memo.
He finally let go of his resentment and fully accepted the cruel reality of Wanrou's departure.
From then on, he devoted himself to the business world and never touched a drop of alcohol again.
His son was also well-educated, gentle, polite, and talented.
"Dad, don't be sad." Shi Xi raised her hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes.
Jiang Fuhai was then able to break free from his grief.
After finishing breakfast, the father and son drove to the company.
When Shi Xi was seen by everyone in the company, they all greeted her politely.
"Hello, Mr. Jiang."
Good morning, Mr. Jiang.
"Young Master Jiang."
...
In the year since Jiang Feng returned to the company, he has secured several major projects, and under his management, Jiang Sheng Construction's market value has increased by 10%.
He is young and promising, and is the only heir to Jiang Sheng Construction, holding a position in the company second only to Jiang Fuhai.
Even the company's shareholders had high hopes for him.
He is a well-known rising star in the business world.
10:00 AM.
The assistant knocked on the vice president's office door. "Mr. Jiang, this is the project proposal for the new project. Please review it."
Shi Xi glanced at the words "Regarding the Development Plan of the Western Suburbs Project" on the cover, her eyes flickering slightly.
Sure enough, the plot point is about to begin.
In the storyline, the western suburbs project was originally planned very well, but the construction company that contracted the project ran away halfway through.
It almost fell into Jiang Feng's hands.
If it weren't for Xiao Wanjun's old friendship and Qin Huaixi's help, the entire Jiangsheng Construction would have been finished.
Shi Xi signed her name and casually remarked, "That beautiful woman is such a good person."
I wonder how Xiao Wanjun is doing.
Just as Shi Xi was thinking this, her phone suddenly started vibrating wildly.
He opened his phone and found that there were already 99 messages in the group, and new messages were still popping up like crazy.
[Group Chat: Protecting the Best Junjun in the World (1586)]
[Walking with You: Damn! Has Oriental Entertainment gone bankrupt? You were supposed to attend Ronghua's new product launch at 10 PM, why haven't you shown up yet?]
[Drunk and falling into your arms: I'm so angry! Junjun didn't show up, but that bitch Lin Huhu actually showed up!]
[Rotten Tomato Scrambled Eggs: What's going on? Has Oriental Entertainment gone mad? They just gave Wan Jun's resources to Lin Huhu without any clear explanation?]
[Wan Jun's sugar daddy: Has Xiao Wan Jun offended her sugar daddy? Judging from this, she's probably doomed~]
[Walking with You: Where did this idiot come from?! Group admin, kick him out! @JunJunIsTheBestJun]
[Drunk and falling into your arms: Where did this idiot come from?! Group owner, kick him out @JunJunIsTheBestJun]
[Rotten Tomato Scrambled Eggs: Where did this idiot come from?! Group admin, kick him out @JunJunIsTheBestJun]
Upon seeing the malicious comment, Shi Xi frowned slightly and kicked the person out of the group chat.
After thinking about it, I posted a group announcement.
[JunJun is the best Jun: Xiao Wanjun has no sugar daddy. Any more offensive comments will result in immediate removal from the group chat!]
Below, a row of group admins praised him, and then the discussion continued about what kind of nonsense Oriental Entertainment had posted.
Shi Xi stared at it for a long time before leaving the group chat and placing her phone face down on the table.
This is just the beginning.
Oriental Entertainment has been a player in the entertainment industry for many years and is well-versed in its tricks.
They knew that abruptly canceling all of Xiao Wanjun's activities would cause a huge backlash from fans.
So cancel his press conference first, or you'll just get yourself into trouble.
Next, a video of Xiao Wanjun being injured while filming was released, and his activities were canceled under the pretext of recuperating from his injury.
Fans' attention will naturally be diverted to Xiao Wanjun's injury, and Oriental Entertainment can gain a reputation for being considerate of its artists.
It has to be said that in the entertainment industry, it is all too easy to ruin an artist quietly.
