Chapter 40
Shu Jinye recalled the conversation in Jiang Chen's study just now. Jiang Chen's attitude towards him was not very good.
He rubbed his eyebrows, wondering why Jiang Chen was so wary of him.
Jiang Chen gave him the feeling of an icy beauty who could never be warmed up.
He had never encountered such a setback in interpersonal relationships since he was a child.
As the young master of the Shu family, he has lived in an environment surrounded by flowers since he was a child. Even in the business world, he has never been at a disadvantage. But with Jiang Chen, he always feels that his work is thankless.
"Master, if Mr. Jiang's mansion is successfully built, it will make you famous."
"Why did you keep it a secret this time?"
In the car, Shu Jinye frowned, looking very unhappy.
He felt uncomfortable when he thought about making it public and having Jiang Chen stand under the spotlight and be interviewed.
"Mr. Jiang proposed the confidentiality agreement. If this gets out, do you want to ruin my reputation?"
Realizing that he had said the wrong thing, the special assistant quickly shut up.
"As for the budget... we can't just lose money, right?" The special assistant asked nervously. He had already realized that this business was a loss-making one.
The price quoted was much different from the actual construction price, and Shu Jinye required that all materials be of the best quality.
"Is there really no problem with Mr. Jiang? Should we ask the bank to contact the loan company?"
"Bang!" A loud noise came from the back of the car.
The audio-visual screen in the back seat was smashed by a punch.
"I don't want to say it again, you're meddling too much. If you don't want this job, you can get out right now!"
This was the first time that the special assistant saw Shu Jinye so angry. Usually, he treated any project as maximizing the benefits. Today's chat was just a normal conversation between them. He didn't expect Shu Jinye to lose his temper for no reason.
After being Shu Jinye's special assistant for eight years, this was the first time he had seen Shu Jinye like this.
"I'm sorry, Master. I lost my sense of propriety."
Shu Jinye's finger bones were red. He didn't understand why he suddenly got angry.
It seemed as if everything related to Jiang Chen made him unable to calm down.
He really didn't know how much wealth Jiang Chen had. If he was determined to let Jiang Chen take out such a high loan, he didn't dare to imagine what kind of life Xiao Zhuang and Jiang Chen would live in the future.
He wanted to be good to Jiang Chen unconditionally, whether Jiang Chen was willing or not, he just wanted to do so inexplicably.
According to the information he investigated, Jiang Chen was a single father who raised Xiao Jiang alone, and there was no trace of his other half.
Jiang Chen's significant other was like a thorn in Shu Jinye's heart. He was always worried that one day another man would suddenly stand next to Jiang Chen.
Late at night, Shu Family Manor.
Shu Jinye dreamed of Jiang Chen again, and this time the protagonists were him and Jiang Chen.
In May, the Imperial Academy was crowded with the chirping of cicadas in the afternoon.
The students were all having lunch and the classroom was silent.
The young Emperor Chen crossed the corridor.
In the classroom, which should be empty, the sound of books being quietly turned can be heard.
Emperor Chen is full of vigor and vitality. Although he is still a teenager, he has gradually revealed the temperament of an emperor.
Looking through the wide-open window, he noticed for the first time an inconspicuous classmate.
In the blink of an eye, they returned to the same age as Jiang Chen, when they were teenagers, they were about ten years old.
At this time, Jiang Chen was sitting alone in the back row, studying quietly. His fair and clean little face was staring at the book intently, his long eyelashes trembling slightly with his gaze.
The weather was hot in the afternoon, but the school gave people a sense of calm and coolness.
What's his name?
Emperor Chen couldn't remember at once that the Royal Academy had started classes from the time children were young.
Children of important political officials would also be sent to study with the prince.
After attending the Imperial Academy for so many years, Emperor Chen didn't know why he only noticed this person after so many years.
Ten-year-old Jiang Chen is like a grown-up version of Xiao Zhuang.
Emperor Chen took a casual look and turned away without staying long.
As she grows older, Jiang Chen's facial features become more and more beautiful.
Everyone knows that the prime minister's son is usually low-key and humble.
In the eyes of Emperor Chen, Jiang Chen's obedient appearance made him look like a softie.
At the age of fourteen, she had already grown into a stunning beauty.
Many people covet his looks, and many secretly tease him.
Every day after school, Jiang Chen would take out some dried fish from his bookcase to feed the stray cats near the Imperial College.
"Hey, Jiang Chen, come here."
"I asked you to come to my house for a small gathering a few days ago, why didn't you come?"
In the sunlight, Jiang Chen stroked the kitten's round head and did not respond to what the person behind him said.
"Hey, I'm talking to you!" Seeing that Jiang Chen ignored him, the man stepped forward and stomped his feet to scare the kitten away.
Jiang Chen frowned, then stood up from his squatting position, saying indifferently, "I don't want to have anything to do with someone who always takes the last place in exams and insults the reputation of my Prime Minister's Mansion."
"If you want to invite others, you should consider your own abilities, right?" Jiang Chen's ordinary words sounded extremely harsh.
It's like pressing someone into the dirty mud.
"I'm sorry, I feel a little uncomfortable. I feel insulted if I say a few more words to you."
"Jiang Chen, don't go too far! Be careful of me...!"
"Take care of yourself. Don't forget what you did in the south of the city last month."
Jiang Chen's words frightened the man. Being caught was not a good thing, as it also affected his future.
Jiang Chen packed up his bookcase and left in disappointment. It was all because of this man today that the cat he was supposed to feed didn't even come.
Emperor Chen saw the scene from a distance. The sunlight shone through the leaves onto Jiang Chen's body, and his calm and composed demeanor. He said those words with disdain.
Beauty has thorns, and his heart was hit hard.
From the day he turned fourteen, he began to pay attention to Jiang Chen, who usually had little presence in the Imperial College.
It was not until Jiang Chen became the top scholar at the age of 18 and his high-spirited appearance during the parade that the whole world knew that the top scholar was not only knowledgeable but also stunningly beautiful.
The following year, Emperor Chen ascended the throne, and he asked the young and promising top scholar to marry him.
Jiang Chen felt that this marriage was extremely absurd. He could have continued to work in politics and benefit the people, but the Prime Minister's father threatened to commit suicide. From the time he was forced to do so to their wedding night, Jiang Chen's eyes were still as cold when he looked at Emperor Chen.
After marriage, Jiang Chen always treated Emperor Chen with courtesy.
Everyone in Dongqi knew that the emperor loved the current queen very much, and he sent all the good treasures to her harem, as if he was spending huge sums of money to win a beautiful woman's smile.
Every time Jiang Chen's lips curled up at an angle, it seemed as if he was expecting something, and he wasn't really laughing.
Emperor Chen knew that Jiang Chen had no feelings for him, and those beautiful eyes only became extremely tender when facing his son.
Jiang Chen is the youngest number one scholar. He has the ability to govern a country, but he is not in the court but imprisoned in the harem. Emperor Chen knows that his willfulness has made Jiang Chen embarrassed, but when he thinks that Jiang Chen will marry someone else in a few years, he feels extremely unwilling.
Such an amazing talent can only be compared with him.
“…”
Shu Jinye woke up, his whole body was hot, and the scene in his dream was still lingering on the beautiful wedding night with Jiang Chen.
The touch and images in the dream were so real that he was even extremely excited the moment he got Jiang Chen.
He slapped his forehead, wondering why he had such a dream not long after knowing Jiang Chen.
In the weak light of the red candle, Jiang Chen's eyes were misty, and his pretty face revealed a hint of unwillingness and regret, which made him want to rob her even more desperately.
Shu Jinye sat on the bed with his ears burning red and his mouth dry. He took a deep breath and realized there was mud in his crotch. He hurriedly stumbled into the bathroom awkwardly.
After taking a cold shower, he finally felt refreshed. At three o'clock in the morning, he stared at the terminal, which contained Jiang Chen's contact information.
He really wanted to send him a message, but was afraid of disturbing him while he was resting, so his hand was suspended in mid-air and he couldn't type any words.
