Shen Shixun knew perfectly well that Master Zhou had investigated him, and Master Zhou also knew that this Shen Shixun was no pushover. He could follow Zhang Yandong and even break two ribs of the Song family's only son; he had his own kind of guts.
Fortunately, his men didn't catch him at the time, otherwise this relationship would have been ruined.
"I'm short of talent, and we're happy to work together."
In just a few words, the two agreed to cooperate. Zhou Erye extended his hand to the man, and Shen Shixun glanced at his hand, which was covered with scars of various sizes.
"I have a condition."
"you say."
"I don't want my wife to know about this."
"Don't worry, I won't tell Miss Xiang that she's a very innocent girl."
After dinner, Shen Shixun drove Xiang Nanzhi back to her home. Xiang Nanzhi grabbed him, not wanting him to leave, saying, "I have something to do, I'll be back later."
"Can you quit your ride-hailing job? It's tiring and doesn't make any money."
"Wait a little longer for Xiang Nanzhi..."
"Get this straight, Shen Shixun. You're here to earn money and support your family. Don't get your priorities backward."
He spends so little time with her, how can he earn money to support the family? If this were an ordinary couple, the woman would probably have a change of heart as soon as the man started earning money.
Xiang Nanzhi knew she was being too greedy. Her feelings for Shen Shixun were different from her previous fleeting interest in Song Ze. She liked that this man could be integrated into every aspect of her life, rather than just being satisfied with watching a fireworks show or having a meal together as a couple.
Shen Shixun patted her head and kissed her on the lips. "I may be late, but I won't be absent. I mean it."
As the man was about to leave, Xiang Nanzhi grabbed his arms with both hands and handed him the card intact. "We only have a marriage certificate, not a wedding ceremony, so I don't think it counts as a marriage."
"I'll ask for your money again after our child is born and we have a wedding."
"Xiang Nanzhi..."
"Don't treat me like an outsider, and don't joke about this anymore."
She was really serious today, making serious plans for the future.
For so many years, I've been living off my parents, doing nothing, and taking everything for granted. To put it bluntly, I'm a freeloader.
Compared to Shen Shixun, she felt ashamed of herself. She used to laugh at him for living in a shabby place, but now she saw that she hadn't even made much money by doing things herself. If she really had to start from scratch, she might not be doing as well as him.
Xiang Nanzhi took a few steps closer, stood on tiptoe, and kissed the man on the lips. "I've given you Shen Shixun without reservation, so don't be so reserved. Keep this money for me for now, and give it to me after we have the baby."
The man, clutching the card in his hand, turned and headed in the opposite direction from Xiang's home.
Inside the room, separated by a glass partition, Xiang Ciyuan cleared his throat and sat behind Xiang Zhengyi. "Dad, why are you still peeking?"
"This Shen Shixun is definitely capable; he's doing a very good job with Zhang Yandong."
You might say he's uneducated, but he knows more about construction sites than some professionals. "Does arguing with a few college students mean he did a good job?"
"Those college students all graduated from prestigious universities."
You really can't win an argument with them without some skill.
Xiang Zhengyi may not be a great intellectual, but he respects intellectuals. "I'm relieved as long as Zhizhi stays away from that guy surnamed Song."
"Are you really planning to have Shen Shixun move in with us after the baby is born? I'm actually a little uncomfortable having a brother-in-law living in our home."
When will your project with Zhang Yandong start?
"End of the month."
"The construction site that Li Shixun is currently in charge of is not far away."
"Um."
As soon as Xiang Ciyuan sat down, Xiang Zhengyi seemed to be deep in thought. "Then let Shixun manage it too. I'll call Zhang Yandong myself."
Xiang Ciyuan was speechless. "Dad, are you crazy? You've pushed him to such a high position."
"That's more like it, to be worthy of your sister."
He didn't want people to say that his daughter had married a good-for-nothing.
Besides, Shen Shixun is actually quite capable; he just lacks resources.
Shen Shixun went to the address and found two bodyguards standing at the door.
"Are you Mr. Shen? Please come in."
Shen Shixun recognized one of the people as the one who had chased him at the antique market before, and his eyelids twitched.
The man felt a little embarrassed by his gaze, but then he thought, "I only saw him once, and we've met once before. Who can have such a good memory?"
"Mr. Shen..."
He was handed a black eye patch.
Shen Shixun nodded, took the bag, and stepped into Zhou Erye's territory.
Master Zhou had been waiting for him inside for a while. "Sehun is here..."
In the center of the living room, there was a huge rock, more than a meter long, placed on a shelf.
"Have some tea first."
"No, thank you."
Shen Shixun glanced at the huge rock in front of him. Zhou Erye stood up and said, "This jade stone has some history. I know there must be jade inside, but I don't know how much jade there is, how much is real, and how much is fake."
"Did you buy this jade at a high price?"
"Not really."
“Someone asked me to postpone their debt repayment, saying it was a family heirloom. I had a professional take a look and said it was fine, so I accepted the offer.”
"Is Second Master now suspecting there's a problem?"
"Yes, that's why I asked you to take a look."
Zhou Erye took a puff of his cigarette and handed the tools to Shen Shixun. The man looked them over and asked, "Can't you open it?"
"cannot."
If it's truly a rare jade, opening it now would be a huge waste.
"This is not a raw stone."
After observing for a full half hour, listening and looking around from the outside, Shen Shixun suddenly said, "It's been tampered with; it's not a raw stone."
