Chapter 30 Chapter 30 Chen Louchen stretched out his hand: "Spit it out."...
Chen Louchen's voice was like a poisoned dagger, cutting into He Xingyu's heart with every word, freezing his arrogant demeanor into ice in an instant.
He Xingyu subconsciously took a half step back, avoiding Chen Louchen's gaze, but still insisted: "Chen, Minister Shen, he was the one who contradicted me first..."
"Talk back? Are you kidding me?" Chen Louchen scoffed, his fingertips gently rubbing Fu Xu's flushed cheek. "If he dared to talk back, he wouldn't be standing here getting slapped."
As he spoke, Chen Louchen turned around, pulled Fu Xu from behind him to the front, put his hands on Fu Xu's shoulders, and looked at him with a serious look.
Fu Xu's eyes were still red, with unshed tears on his eyelashes, and the red mark on his chin from being pinched was still clearly visible. He was clutching the corner of Chen Louchen's clothes in his hand, his fingertips turned white from the force, and his body was trembling slightly.
Chen Louchen's voice softened, but with unquestionable determination: "Fight back."
Fu Xu suddenly looked up, his eyes full of surprise: "Mr. Shen, I... I dare not..."
Growing up, he has always been the one being bullied. In the Fu family, he doesn't even dare to refute, let alone hit anyone. What's more, He Xingyu is an S-level omega of the He family with a prominent family background. If he really hits her, will it cause more trouble for Chen Louchen?
"You don't have to be afraid." Chen Louchen held his shoulders, his eyes sharp as a knife, "Since you don't care about my Shen family, there's no need to keep the He family."
The omegas nearby had already huddled in a corner out of fear, not even daring to breathe.
Liu Wenyao also rushed over. Seeing this scene, cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He quickly stepped forward to smooth things over: "Minister Shen, it's a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding! Xingyu is young and naive. I will definitely discipline him when I get back..."
What are these omegas up to?! Putting aside the evidence of corruption and bribery Chen Louchen possessed, just based on his power as the head of the Security Department, finding any trouble for them would be enough to get them into trouble.
There is a saying that goes, sugar may not be sweet, but vinegar will definitely be sour. It may take a lot of effort to support an enterprise, but for Shen Louchen, it is easy to bring them down. On weekdays, they can still act arrogantly by relying on their brother's identity as a supervisory group, but what will happen if they offend the Shen family?
"Misunderstanding?" Chen Louchen didn't look at Liu Wenyao, his eyes still locked on Fu Xu. He gently wiped away the tears from the corners of Fu Xu's eyes with his fingertips, "Raise your hand."
Fu Xu's fingers trembled slightly. He looked at the seriousness in Shen Louchen's eyes, and then looked at He Xingyu's frightened and angry face. With Shen Louchen's support, he slowly gathered up some courage from the grievance and cowardice in his heart. He took a deep breath, and with a thin layer of sweat on his fingertips, he raised his fingers tremblingly.
"Yes, that's it." Chen Louchen's voice was cold, "However he hits you, you hit him back."
Fu Xu closed his eyes, raised his hand suddenly, and slapped He Xingyu in the face with a sound of wind.
The force was not strong, but crisp enough, and the "pop" sound was particularly loud in the small private room.
He Xingyu was stunned. He covered his cheeks, unable to believe that he was beaten by an omega of humble origin. Just as he was about to explode, he met Chen Louchen's cold eyes, which looked like he was looking at a dying person.
Liu Wenyao felt something was wrong, so he rushed forward, swung his arm and slapped He Xingyu again. He Xingyu froze in place instantly, not even daring to breathe.
Fu Xu withdrew his hand immediately after the fight, tightly grasping the corner of Chen Louchen's clothes, and lowered his head even more.
He actually hit someone.
Shen Louchen nodded with satisfaction, his eyes swept over everyone present, and finally landed on Liu Wenyao, his tone frighteningly cold: "Boss Liu, I remember I just said that this is my partner, the person you brought with you, you touched my people under my nose, as an Alpha, is this how you act?"
Liu Wenyao wiped the sweat from his forehead, his face full of flattering smiles: "Minister Shen, it's my fault for not disciplining him properly! Look, I have also taught him a lesson. I promise that this kind of thing will never happen again!"
"Heh—" Chen Louchen casually kicked the broken porcelain pieces on the ground. "For the Anming District project, I want an investor who can control the situation. How can the organization trust you if you can't even control your own partner? This water conservancy project is crucial. If anything goes wrong with the project in the future, can you bear the responsibility?"
This remark hit Liu Wenyao's soft spot. The Anming District project was a piece of fat meat. If he lost the cooperation because of this, all his previous efforts would be in vain. He gritted his teeth and immediately said, "Don't worry, Minister Shen! I will ask my assistant to draft a supplementary agreement and add 20% investment! And I promise that in the future, no one will dare to disrespect him in any occasion where Mrs. Shen is present!"
Chen Louchen snorted coldly and said nothing more. Liu Wenyao hurriedly pulled the still dazed He Xingyu out. When He Xingyu left, she looked at Fu Xu with resentment, but was pinched hard by Liu Wenyao. She had no choice but to follow him unwillingly. The other omegas also hurriedly stood up, lowered their heads and hurriedly apologized to Fu Xu, for fear of upsetting Chen Louchen again.
The private room finally quieted down, the smell of Fu Xu's panicked pheromones still lingering in the air.
Chen Louchen turned to look at Fu Xu, but found that he was still standing there, motionless. He frowned: "Why don't you follow?"
Fu Xu raised his head, his eyes full of surprise: "Mr. Shen, I...should I go too?"
He thought he would just wait here for Chen Louchen to finish, but he didn't expect Chen Louchen to take him back with him. After all, the waiter had said before that omegas were not worthy of eating at the same table with alphas, and those omegas just now had no intention of leaving.
"What else?" Chen Louchen said hurriedly, sounding a little impatient, and Fu Xu hurriedly followed.
Back in the main room, the alphas inside were still sitting. Seeing Chen Louchen leading Fu Xu in, they couldn't help but look at each other in confusion. How could an omega be brought back? When they met Chen Louchen's gaze, they lowered their heads in fear and pretended to continue talking.
Liu Wenyao had someone clean up the debris on the ground. Seeing Chen Louchen come in, he immediately stood up with a smile: "Minister Shen, you're back! Come and sit down!"
Chen Louchen said nothing, looked at the waiter next to him, and said in a flat tone: "Move another chair over and put it next to me."
The waiter also knew what had just happened, and quickly responded. He quickly moved a chair and carefully placed it next to Shen Louchen, and even wiped the seat of the chair.
Chen Louchen pulled Fu Xu to sit down, then looked at everyone, his tone returning to his previous politeness: "Sorry to have kept you waiting. Next, let's finalize the persons in charge of each department."
Fu Xu sat in the chair, feeling uncomfortable all over.
He had never sat with so many alphas before, and the eyes of the people around him fell on him from time to time, making him feel a little uncomfortable. Fu Xu put his hands on his knees, sitting as straight as a primary school student, and even breathing lightly.
The food was already laid out on the table, and it smelled delicious. There was steamed fish, braised pork, and several exquisite dishes he had never seen before. Fu Xu had been hungry for a long time, having only eaten a little bread in the morning, but he didn't dare to pick up his chopsticks. In such an occasion, he was afraid of being laughed at no matter what he did.
While Chen Louchen was discussing the details of the project with Liu Wenyao, he kept an eye on Fu Xu.
At this moment, Fu Xu was staring at the steamed fish on the table, his eyes full of desire, but he never touched his chopsticks. Chen Louchen calmly picked up the serving chopsticks, picked up a piece of fish, carefully picked out the fish bones, and then placed it in Fu Xu's bowl, whispering, "Eat."
Fu Xu was stunned for a moment, then looked up at Chen Louchen, who was talking to Liu Wenyao. The lines on his face were cold and hard, as if his previous action was just a casual move. Fu Xu quickly whispered "Thank you, Mr. Chen", then picked up the chopsticks and ate the fish in small bites.
The fish meat was very tender, and the delicious taste spread in his mouth. Fu Xu's eyes lit up and he ate more seriously.
The assistant next to him saw this and secretly winked at the waiter. The waiter understood and quickly moved the dishes on the table towards Fu Xu to make it easier for him to pick up the food.
After talking for a while, the waiter brought a fruit plate and placed it in the middle of the table. There were bright red lychees, purple grapes, and a row of neatly cut fruits on the plate, which looked particularly tempting.
Fu Xu's attention was immediately attracted by the litchi.
He had never eaten lychees, but had only seen pictures of them in books. The bright red shells looked delicious.
His gaze was too obvious, and it was hard for Chen Louchen not to notice it.
Chen Louchen glanced at the fruit plate and whispered a few words to the assistant next to him.
The assistant quickly responded and went to the kitchen. Not long after, he brought over a plate of fresh lychees and placed it in front of Fu Xu.
Fu Xu's eyes brightened, but he didn't know how to peel the lychees. He was afraid that he would make a fool of himself if he didn't peel them well, so he watched for a long time without doing anything.
Finally, Fu Xu took advantage of the fact that no one was looking at him, picked up one and bit it directly into his mouth. The bitter outer skin was wrapped in juice and flowed into his mouth. It was dry with a sour taste, and he couldn't bite it.
It tastes so bad, but it smells sweet.
Fu Xu held half a lychee in his mouth, unable to spit it out or swallow it.
Chen Louchen glanced at Fu Xu out of the corner of his eye. His hands didn't stop moving during the conversation. He picked up a lychee, pinched the small tip of the lychee with his fingertips, and gently squeezed it. The shell cracked open, and then he peeled the shell along the crack, revealing the crystal clear flesh inside. He then tore off the white film covering the flesh, tilted his head slightly, and handed the lychee to Fu Xu's mouth: "Open your mouth."
Fu Xu was stunned for a moment, his cheeks instantly red. There were so many alphas watching around, and Chen Louchen actually peeled lychees for him and fed him. This made him feel a little embarrassed, but he couldn't resist the taste of the fruit, so he opened his mouth slightly and took a bite.
The sweet juice spread in his mouth, with a light fragrance, sweeter than any candy he had ever picked up. Fu Xu's eyes suddenly lit up: "Thank you, Mr. Shen."
Chen Louchen looked at him, and the coldness in his eyes faded a little. He picked up another lychee and said, "Don't eat too much."
He remembered that this omega had a fever several times within two days of coming to the Shen family. He would even vomit out porridge after eating. His health was not very good. If he got a sore throat after eating again, it would be very troublesome.
"Okay, Mr. Shen."
The alphas nearby saw this and couldn't help but speculate in their hearts.
Someone had sent an omega to Shen Louchen before, but they were all thrown out without exception. No one had ever caught the Shen family's eye. Everyone was speculating about how noble an omega must be to marry into the Shen family. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be such a timid and cowardly one. Judging from his surname... it seemed that he was unknown even in the imperial capital.
Oh no, there was a very popular news a while ago. The Fu family had an omega with healing abilities, and then out of nowhere, an eldest son appeared and went missing. I think it must be the one in front of me.
It's clearly a scapegoat, but why would Chen Louchen care so much about it? It's really unbelievable.
Everyone knew that Minister Shen was notoriously cold and hard, and he was never nice to anyone. But now he actually condescended to peel lychees for the omega himself. It was really eye-opening.
While Chen Louchen was listening to Liu Wenyao's report, he would peel a lychee for Fu Xu from time to time, or pick up some vegetables with his chopsticks. Fu Xu's plate was soon filled with food, and he ate it in small bites.
This was the first time he had been taken care of like this, and it was also the first time he hadn't had to carefully read people's faces in front of so many people.
But... lychees have seeds, and Fu Xu bit into the hard core, which still tasted bitter. How about... swallowing it?
Chen Louchen on the side seemed to have noticed something, and suddenly pinched Fu Xu's cheek with one hand to stop Fu Xu from swallowing.
"Spit it out."
