Chapter Eighteen
The following day, at the headquarters office of Keyu Group.
Knock knock!
Assistant Gao Yuan knocked on the door and entered: "President Liang, this is the information on Shao Guang that you asked me to investigate last night."
Liang Yuheng quickly glanced through the information, his brow furrowing: "Besides this person, there are quite a few others in the company who got in through my father's connections. Don't touch him yet; dig out all these people slowly."
Gao Yuan: "Yes, it is said that Shao Guang harassed female colleagues at the company. But because he has powerful backers, no one has dared to speak out."
Liang Yuheng snorted coldly: "He really doesn't know his own name!"
Gao Yuan hesitated for a moment, then said, "Also, your father has recently been working on acquiring several companies, and one of them has already been completed. The major shareholder's surname is Zeng."
Zeng Bingyun?
It seems that Liang Zhihong is starting to lose his temper.
"When you have time, please arrange an appointment with the heads of these companies for me." Liang Yuheng gripped his pen tightly, his gaze somber.
"Okay." Gao Yuan was about to turn around when he added, "By the way, Mr. Liang, I've bought everything you asked me to prepare for your wife's visit."
"Understood." The anger on Liang Yuheng's face eased slightly.
"If there's nothing else, I'll head down now."
"Wait."
"Please go ahead, Mr. Liang."
"What's the brand of your car?" Liang Yuheng leaned back in his chair and tapped his pen lightly.
Gao Yuan paused for a moment, then said, "Mercedes-Benz."
Liang Yuheng: "I'll borrow it for one day this Sunday."
"Okay, I'll go get it cleaned when I have time." Gao Yuan didn't know why his boss had so many nice cars but didn't drive his, but he didn't dare to ask any more questions.

Around 10 p.m. on Saturday night, Shi Qing finished washing up and lay in bed looking at her phone.
Liang Yuheng has been working in his study since he came home last night and hasn't gone back to his bedroom yet.
Shi Qing suddenly received a video call from Zhou Han, and she happily answered it.
Zhou Han frowned and complained, "You haven't called me for days. Have you forgotten about me now that you've found another man?"
"What are you talking about? Which of us actually has a man?" Shi Qing laughed.
Zhou Han sighed, "Don't mention it."
Shi Qing stopped smiling and asked with concern, "What's wrong? Aren't you two in the honeymoon phase?"
"I feel like something's off, but I can't quite put my finger on it. This is my first time dating, and I just don't feel like it should be like this," Zhou Han said, distressed.
Shi Qing: "You can tell me about it, although I don't have much experience either."
“I feel like he’s really good to me, but sometimes I can’t get in touch with him. We made plans to have dinner together yesterday, but he said something came up and he couldn’t make it, and this isn’t the first time.”
Shi Qing pursed her lips and said, "I think your feelings are the most important. If you feel uncomfortable in a relationship, then there must be a problem. Why don't you two have a good talk when you have time?"
Zhou Han shrugged: "Never mind him, how are you doing staying at my cousin's?"
Shi Qing had always felt it was quite inconvenient and preferred her own little apartment, but she couldn't say it directly: "It's fine as it is."
"By the way, do you two sleep in the same bed?" Zhou Han's initial sadness vanished instantly upon hearing this.
"Hmm." Shi Qing didn't lie, and there seemed to be no need for her to.
Zhou Han winked: "Have you ever had an accidental encounter with sex?"
Shi Qing blushed instantly upon hearing this: "No, Hanhan, don't talk nonsense!"
"Really not?"
Shi Qing: "Really not!"
"I don't believe it. You're so beautiful and have such a great figure, what man could resist you? Is my cousin impotent?"
Click.
The bedroom door opened, and Liang Yuheng appeared in the doorway.
Shi Qing was so frightened that she quickly hung up the phone.
She slowly raised her head and met Liang Yuheng's gaze.
Shi Qing wasn't sure if he had heard her, so she forced a laugh and said, "Good evening."
Liang Yuheng: "..."
While observing his expression, Shi Qing tentatively asked, "Did you hear anything just now?"
"When I heard 'no'," Liang Yuheng's expression remained completely unchanged.
Thank goodness.
It's fine if you don't hear it being said about him.
Liang Yuheng walked to the bedside, took off his watch and placed it on the bedside table: "Are you talking about me?"
"No, no, we were talking about Zhou Han's boyfriend," Shi Qing lied earnestly.
"Hmm." Liang Yuheng unbuttoned his shirt as he walked towards the dressing room.
While Liang Yuheng was taking a shower, Shi Qing quickly sent a message to Zhou Han, then pulled up the covers and went to sleep.

On Sunday morning, after waking up, Shi Qing still took Xia Mingqiu to practice Pilates for a while.
After working out for a while, Liang Yuheng also came to the gym.
He changed into a white T-shirt and sweatpants, and looked much younger than usual.
Liang Yuheng ran on the treadmill for about twenty minutes and then did some other exercises on other machines.
Xia Mingqiu lay on her back on the central bed, holding the pull rope bracelet in her hand, her arms trembling: "I can't take it anymore, Qingqing, I can't hold on any longer."
"Mom, five seconds left, keep going!" Shi Qing encouraged her kindly.
After Shi Qing finished counting down, Xia Mingqiu collapsed onto the central bed.
"I'm too tired, let's call it a day." Xia Mingqiu was covered in sweat and was panting heavily as he spoke.
Shi Qing glanced at the time: "Okay, Mom, you should rest for a while."
"Okay." After saying that, Xia Mingqiu quickly got up and went to the kitchen to get a drink of water, afraid that if she stayed there, Shi Qing would drag her to practice again.
Shi Qing smiled helplessly, then wiped the mat with a wet wipe, a habit she had developed while working.
Liang Yuheng has sweated a lot during his training, but he still has plenty of energy.
Pilates movements looked much easier, and he couldn't understand why Xia Mingqiu was so tired.
"Is this tiring?" Liang Yuheng walked over.
Shi Qing nodded: "Yes, it will be a bit tiring at the beginning."
Liang Yuheng: "How does it compare to working out?"
Shi Qing: "It's hard to compare. Do you want to experience it for yourself?"
Liang Yuheng was a little curious, so he agreed.
"You support yourself with your forearm here, then kneel here." Shi Qing didn't demonstrate herself because her hand hadn't fully recovered yet.
"Plank exercise?"
“Yes, you put your foot against this and push forward.” Shi Qing looked down at him and explained carefully, “Follow my rhythm, prepare to inhale, push out when you exhale, and come back when you inhale.”
Liang Yuheng did a set of exercises as Shi Qing suggested and found it very easy.
In the second set, Shi Qing added a heavy spring for him. This time, Liang Yuheng felt it was a bit more strenuous than before, but he could still continue.
After Shi Qing finished counting down to ten, she asked, "Can we add more?"
"Can."
Liang Yuheng's arm muscles looked very strong as he pressed firmly against the core bed.
In the third group, Shi Qing hung another spring on her arm.
By the end of the training, Liang Yuheng's arms and lower abdomen started to ache.
"The last ten seconds, ten, nine, eight..."
At this point, Liang Yuheng's arms were already trembling slightly, but fortunately he was able to hold on thanks to the muscle endurance he had developed through long-term training; anyone else would have been shaking uncontrollably by now.
"The last one, hang in there!"
The veins on Liang Yuheng's forehead were slightly bulging. He gritted his teeth and struggled to maintain a calm expression as he got off the bed.
Shi Qing exclaimed with excitement and surprise, "You're amazing! I just added the heaviest spring, and your arm didn't even shake!"
Liang Yuheng raised the corner of his mouth slightly without changing his expression: "It's alright."
Shi Qing: "Would you like to try any other moves?"
"No, another day." Liang Yuheng moved his sore arm when Shi Qing wasn't looking.
"Okay, let me know when you want to practice."
Liang Yuheng hummed in agreement.
But he assured that he would definitely not do it in front of Shi Qinglian again in the short term.
After leaving the gym, Shi Qing and Xia Mingqiu ate breakfast first, while Liang Yuheng went back to his room to take a shower.
Xia Mingqiu poured Shi Qing a glass of milk: "Qingqing, I have a puppy at home. I haven't been back for many days. I heard from Auntie that it hasn't been eating much these past few days. I'm going back now. It's not convenient for you to stay here."
Shi Qing: "It's not inconvenient, but Mom, if you have something to do, go back first, and come back whenever you want."
"well."
"Mom, what kind of dog do you raise?" Shi Qing asked, taking a bite of her sandwich.
Xia Mingqiu took out his phone to show Shi Qing a photo: "A West Highland White Terrier."
"So cute!" Shi Qing has loved dogs since she was a child, but she has never had a dog because she usually gets off work late and doesn't have time to walk them.
Xia Mingqiu was even happier to see that Shi Qing liked dogs: "If you like them, come visit me sometime."
"Okay, then I'll go next time I have a day off."
The two chatted for a while longer, and Xia Mingqiu glanced towards the bedroom: "That's great. By the way, why isn't Aheng here for breakfast yet? The porridge is getting cold."
Shi Qing put down the bread and stood up: "I'll go call him."
"This kid is really something, how old is he and he still needs to be called to eat breakfast?" Xia Mingqiu complained.
Shi Qing pushed the door open and came in, only to find that Liang Yuheng had just come out of the bathroom.
"Aheng, breakfast is ready..."
The rest of his words were abruptly cut off.
Liang Yuheng was shirtless, revealing incredibly beautiful muscle lines on his chest, with broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and a graceful V-line extending into his pants.
The image was so striking that Shi Qing's pupils widened slightly, and she turned around in a flash: "I, I didn't mean to!"
Seeing her face turn as red as a tomato, Liang Yuheng's lips curled into a slight smile.
He went to the wardrobe and took out a new sports t-shirt and put it on.
"It's my fault, I didn't know you wanted to come in."
Shi Qing looked up at the ceiling: "Next time I'll knock."
"Um."
Shi Qing's speech quickened unconsciously: "Mom asked when you're going to have breakfast?"
Liang Yuheng walked past her and headed towards the door: "Now, let's go."
A familiar scent of shower gel wafted towards me; the scene from just now just wouldn't leave my mind.
Liang Yuheng's abs are really nice!
What does it matter to you whether it looks good or not!
Shi Qing shook her dizzy head, picked up the milk on the table, and drank it all in one gulp.
Seeing this, Xia Mingqiu asked, "Qingqing, why is your face so red?"
Liang Yuheng also looked over.
Shi Qing's gaze met his briefly before quickly turning away.
"Oh? Is it?" She lowered her head guiltily. "Maybe it's a little hot."
Just then, a soft laugh came from beside me.
Although the sound wasn't loud, it was exceptionally clear to Shi Qing.
Shi Qing's face suddenly burned even hotter.
"Come here?" Liang Yuheng asked.
Shi Qing looked up at him, puzzled.
Liang Yuheng took a tissue and wiped the milk stains around the corners of her mouth.
Shi Qing kept her eyes open and remained motionless.
She felt a finger brush against her cheek.
