Chapter 41 Casting a Long Line to Catch a Big Fish
In the past, if Shen Jiheng had asked him questions in such a serious tone, Han Xi would have been very careful, afraid of saying the wrong thing and angering him, but now there was no need.
"Why are you so happy?" she nodded with a smile.
"No need to think about it, I'll go to those kinds of places to have fun, anyone can."
Shen Jiheng's anger surged. He had been agonizing over this all night, only to get this answer. He grabbed Han Xi's hand in resentment.
"Han Xi, say that again!"
"If I say it a hundred times, it will be the same result. If you can't accept it, there's nothing I can do."
"How come I never knew you were such a wanton woman?"
"It's not too late for you to know now. Besides, I didn't know you were such a shameless bastard. You did the first thing, I'll do the fifteenth. We're even."
Shen Jiheng was so angry he felt like his lungs were about to explode; he couldn't adapt to Han Xi's current changes.
The Han Xi who used to obey him completely has now become a woman covered in thorns.
He shook off Han Xi's hand and got out of bed, but she continued to add fuel to the fire.
"Let me tell you, this won't be a one-time thing. If you don't want the reputation of being cuckolded, you'd better divorce me as soon as possible, and then we'll go our separate ways."
Shen Jiheng glanced at her sideways; so this whole charade was for the purpose of getting a divorce.
How could I possibly let her have her way?
"Han Xi, let me tell you, no way! I don't care how you demean yourself, just don't break your mother's heart in the afterlife!"
After uttering those harsh words, Shen Jiheng went into the bathroom, which angered Han Xi so much that she beat the pillow violently.
That bastard, why did he have to bring up her mother at a time like this?
Han Xi's mother is not only gentle and virtuous, but also has a strong business mind. She founded her own company and worked her way up in the beauty industry. She is Han Xi's goddess.
How disappointed my mother would be if she saw me like this.
Shen Jiheng just asked if it was okay to just pick up anyone last night. How could that be possible!
Although she was indeed completely drunk, it was the familiarity that allowed her to let loose when the two were being intimate.
She thought she was dreaming.
The moment the bathroom door opened, Han Xi had already buried her head under the covers. Shen Jiheng dried his wet hair with a towel and sat down on the bed.
Han Xi peeked through the crack and saw him still drying his hair. Why wasn't this person leaving?
Given his past temper, he would have slammed the door and left long ago. Now, it's becoming increasingly difficult to understand this person.
After a few seconds of silence, Shen Jiheng stopped and calmly issued orders.
"Get up and blow-dry my hair."
"......"
Was their argument just for nothing?
Han Xi threw back the covers and said coldly, "Don't you have hands? From now on, don't order me around."
"You blow-dry my hair, and I'll give you back one percent of Han Shu's shares, how about that?" Shen Jiheng was clearly playing the long game.
Han Xi looked at her suspiciously, then quickly realized he was about to cause trouble again.
Given his cunning nature, he would never do a losing business.
What do you mean by that?
"It's very simple. If you do as I say, I will give you corresponding shares as compensation. With such good terms, you have no reason to refuse."
If you can get it by doing something so small, it's definitely a good choice.
Are you serious?
"Have you ever seen me lie to you?"
Han Xi pointed to his chest, "Ask yourself honestly, how many times have you lied to me? Anyway, deal, I'll blow-dry the young master's hair now."
Anyway, it's a common occurrence; as long as we keep him happy, we can get the shares out as soon as possible.
Shen Jiheng smiled as he saw her positive attitude. Yesterday, she was so impulsive that she wanted to give up on Han Shu Group, but now she has regained her fighting spirit.
Han Xi was naturally reluctant to give up the fruits of her mother's labor, but she was so angry that she said those things.
Shen Jiheng has now given her a way out; she still has to walk that path.
She styled Shen Jiheng's hair, changed his suit and tied his tie herself. Because of her cooperative and sensible manner, Shen Jiheng immediately returned two percent of the shares to her.
Even a small mosquito bite is still meat, and although Han Xi only managed to retrieve a tiny bit, it gave him hope.
But why did Shen Jiheng agree to return these things to her?
Shen's Group President's Office
Qin Chuan knocked on the door and placed the documents that needed his signature in front of him.
"President, there are a few documents that need your review and signature."
Shen Jiheng nodded, picked up the document with a relaxed expression, and even had a faint smile on his face.
Qin Chuan had forgotten how long it had been since he had seen him smile; it seemed something good was about to happen.
"President, did something good happen last night?"
Qin Chuan hadn't forgotten the way he acted like he was going to destroy the world at the Crown Club last night, and he thought that there would definitely be a bloodbath after he brought his wife back.
Seeing his relaxed expression, I became quite curious.
Are you very free?
"No, no, I'll go take care of other things right away."
He has absolutely no desire to share; Qin Chuan has no idea what his CEO finds enjoyable.
Qin Chuan had just opened the office door to leave when he ran into Shen Mingzhu, who waved and greeted him warmly.
"Assistant Qin, it's been a long time."
"Hello, Miss. It has indeed been two years since we last met. Please come and find the president; he is inside."
"Thank you, you can go ahead and get back to work."
Qin Chuan nodded to signal her to leave, and Shen Mingzhu walked in with a smile.
Shen Jiheng felt a headache coming on the moment he heard her voice, and asked bluntly, "What are you doing here?"
Shen Mingzhu said coquettishly, "Oh dear, she's your own sister. She hasn't spent time with you since returning to China, so she came to see what's wrong."
"That would be best!"
Shen Jiheng's tone was cold, which made it clear that he did not like this younger sister.
As for the reason, only the two parties involved know the truth.
Shen Mingzhu pursed her lips and walked behind him, tenderly massaging his shoulders.
"Brother, how's your relationship with your wife lately? I think I heard you two are getting a divorce."
"You don't need to try to get close to me, just say what you want to say."
"Actually, I came here to discuss something with you. I'm about to invest in a financial project that can make a lot of money. Are you interested in investing?"
"Was it Zhou Yiming who recommended it?"
“Yiming works at a bank and knows a lot about these things. He has helped many friends get rich overseas. I just need a little more capital.”
Shen Jiheng put down what he was holding, turned his chair around, and stared at her with sharp eyes.
Shen Mingzhu felt a little uneasy under his gaze and asked awkwardly, "Brother, why are you staring at me like that? Anyway, you have so much money, you won't lose anything by investing a little."
“I do have a lot of money, but that money didn’t grow on trees. Shen Mingzhu, tell me yourself how many times you’ve asked me for money over the past few years.”
In recent years, Shen Mingzhu has been studying abroad and living a life of luxury.
As the daughter of the Shen family, these things are understandable.
But after she got a boyfriend two years ago, she always asked him for money under various pretexts. Any amount that could get him to pay her must not be small.
He said he wanted to invest in his own business, and as his older brother, he naturally supported him. If it failed, he would also help bear the risk.
However, Shen Jiheng gradually discovered that all that money had gone down the drain.
