Chapter 451 Twenty-one days is enough to develop a new habit
result...
Instead of being afraid, Lu Shiman seemed to have his Ren and Du meridians opened up, and he became excited.
She jumped to Ji Linshen's side, put her arms around Ji Linshen, and rubbed her face on his shoulder: "Brother, brother, you don't know how handsome he was just now."
"He's so handsome it's unbelievable."
Her eyebrows danced with joy as she began to exaggerate, "He said he would let them go so easily. They thought they had won the lottery, but he said only four could leave."
"The seven of them started fighting. It was like raising a Gu and fighting a Gu."
Lu Shiman continued, "The four winners thought they were running towards freedom, but the result was... hehehe."
After she finished speaking, she looked up at Ji Linshen with a look of admiration and love, her eyes were drawn: "So handsome, husband, how can you be so handsome~"
Ji Linshen's expression was indifferent, but he was already feeling extremely happy.
Lu Chixu and Qin Jiaojiao rolled their eyes at the same time.
Lu Yannan: “…”
He silently looked away, took a deep breath, and felt that his previous worries were completely unnecessary to the extreme of the universe.
With the help of Lu Shiman's filter, even if Ji Linshen asked others to kill each other, or even ate shit, she would think that he had an exploratory spirit and personality.
The atmosphere in the suite was made a little weird by Lu Shiman's words.
No one present spoke, nor did they have the desire to speak.
Lu Shiman was about to continue speaking when he heard his elder brother's cell phone ringing.
Lu Yannan picked up the phone and saw the screen: Lu Jianheng.
Connected.
Lu Jianheng's screams were immediately heard from the other end of the phone, and in the background, the sound of paper being torn and documents being pushed could be heard.
"Brother!!! Oh, brother, I can't take it anymore. I really can't take it anymore. I'm going to die. I'm going crazy."
"Those old vixens on the board are eating me alive. This morning, they dug one trap after another in that international merger and acquisition case. This afternoon, there were some weird issues with the audit report. Tonight, there's a capital operations meeting waiting to get me whipped."
"Brother, I can't take it anymore, help me!!!"
"Where are you? Tell me where you are, I'll come pick you up, brother, I can't get through this day, ahhhhh!!!"
Lu Jianheng's roars and cries almost broke through the receiver, carrying with them the exhaustion and madness of being tortured.
Obviously, he was completely overwhelmed by the big gift package from the president that Lu Yannan threw at him.
Lu Yannan held the phone away and felt his ears buzzing.
It’s really noisy, just as noisy as the second child.
"Brother, please come back. I'll pick you up. I'll pick you up myself. Where are you?"
Lu Yannan's face was expressionless, and he replied calmly: "In Si Shengla."
The voice on the other end of the phone suddenly stopped, like a rooster with its neck strangled.
Dead silence.
A few seconds later, Lu Jianheng's voice suddenly rose, filled with disbelief and great grievance, and even with tears in his eyes: "Si Shengla?"
His voice was on the verge of breaking: "What are you doing there? Shouldn't you be cleaning Ji Linshen's ass? Why did you go to the second brother's place?"
"Is Lu Chixu's crappy match really that good? Is it more important than me being besieged by a bunch of old hands and a multi-billion dollar business report?"
Lu Yannan slowly picked up the warm water that had been poured earlier and took a sip elegantly, as if he was tasting top-quality tea.
His tone was calm and matter-of-fact: "Well, I'm done, so I can take a vacation and watch your second brother's game."
silence...
Sad silence...
"...Lu Yannan!!!" Lu Jianheng's heart-wrenching, tearful accusation erupted from the other end of the line: "You...you actually left me alone in the company in dire straits while you went on vacation to watch the game?"
"Wow, wow, wow... Are you still my brother? Do you have any humanity at all? Ah!"
"Brother, please come back, I beg you~"
The people present all had smiles on their faces as they listened to Lu Jianheng's crying.
The smile spread from Lu Jianheng to everyone present.
Lu Yannan put down the water cup, tapped the smooth armrest with his slender fingers, and a happy arc appeared at the corner of his mouth.
He spoke leisurely into the receiver: "Don't worry, just work peacefully for another 21 days."
"Why? Why is it twenty-one days?" Lu Jianheng was puzzled and felt deeply frightened by this number.
He has to stay in such a dire situation for another 21 days!!!
Just send him to hell.
Lu Yannan chuckled softly, and the low laughter came clearly through the microphone.
He spoke again, his tone gentle and persuasive, like a master psychologist counseling a patient: "Because scientific research shows that twenty-one days is enough to form a new habit."
"Once you get used to it, it'll be fine."
There was a chaotic noise from the other end of the line, like something was smashed to the ground, followed by a long, desperate wail.
Then the call was hung up, leaving only a busy tone.
Lu Chixu opened his mouth and silently lit a candle for his brother on the other end of the phone.
Ji Linshen had a smile on his face, and he knew that his elder brother was a smart man.
Qin Jiaojiao muttered quietly: "No wonder I feel uncomfortable if I don't scold Huo Beiyan for a day. It turns out it's a habit."
Lu Shiman nestled in Ji Lin's arms and commented without any sympathy: "Tsk, Third Brother's ability to withstand pressure is not very good. He can't even afford this little blessing."
......
Lu Yannan's office.
Luxurious yet cold and devoid of any human touch.
Lu Jianheng sat slumped in the large president's chair like a puddle of mud with no soul.
This is the eldest brother's throne, but also his purgatory.
There were piles of documents on the table, each one exuding a desperate atmosphere of "Kill me!"
He pulled his hair hard a few times, his irritated eyes accidentally sweeping across the corner of the desk.
There stood quietly a silver picture frame.
The photo shows five of them, brothers and sisters.
The background is a private island with blue sea and blue sky.
Lu Yannan sat on a beach chair with a gentle temperament. He grinned and put his arm around his eldest brother's shoulders. Lu Chixu tilted his head, Lu Shiman made a silly scissors hand gesture and smiled like a sunflower. Next to him was Lu Qiyun, who was squatting with a reluctant look on his face.
Bright sunshine, laughter, and carefree...
Compare that to the mountain of paperwork, the constantly flashing work reminders, the seemingly endless video conference invitations...
Lu Jianheng's vision blurred.
He thought of his elder brother's well-organized life, cleaning up their messes and settling problems one after another...
For years, I have been sitting in this cold position, dealing with more troubles than what I see in front of me...
Bro, how did you get through this?
Lu Jianheng's heart seemed to be hit hard by something, a sour feeling instantly rushed to the tip of his nose, and his eyes gradually turned red uncontrollably.
This isn't a photo; it's a time machine that transformed him from the jerk who shouted he'd quit to the brat who only knew how to ask his brother for candy.
The huge sense of shame and belated realization, mixed with the heartache for his elder brother, overwhelmed him like a tsunami.
"Wuwu...Wuwu..." He couldn't hold it in any longer and buried his face deeply in his arms like a child who had suffered a great injustice.
His shoulders shook violently, and muffled, suppressed cries echoed in the empty office.
