Chapter 9 The troublemaker is eating your rice!
Shen Zhi pushed open the door and blocked Dou Chiyu outside.
Mu Chiye was attracted by Shen Zhi's actions and stopped writing. He thought that except Shen Zhi, no one could enter and leave his office at will.
Mu Chiye cared a lot about Shen Zhi's words "don't look for anyone else".
His kindness to Shen Zhihao was purely a reward, which might cause the insecure Shen Zhi to have other fantasies and regard him as the only raw material for nourishment, which was something Mu Chiye did not want to see.
He would not accept repaying a favor as a shackle in marriage.
Shen Zhi should understand where the forbidden line is that he cannot cross, and Mu Chiye has the obligation to teach Shen Zhi.
For example, now is the time to keep some distance.
"During working hours, you should be at your job," Mu Chiye raised his eyelids, clearly distinguishing between public and private affairs.
The anger in Shen Zhi that was ignited by Dou Chiyu was extinguished by Mu Chiye's overly calm eyes.
The words I wanted to say were swallowed back into my stomach.
Dou Chiyu is outside the plot. This is just the original owner's private matter, and also just "Shen Zhi's" private matter.
He shouldn't use the protagonist to punish Dou Chiyu, as it doesn't comply with the rules and conditions of the Space-Time Administration.
Maki Chiye turned the pen over and tapped it on the desk. The collision of the metal and the wooden tabletop made a rhythmic "click, click, click" sound.
Shen Zhi's dazed expression moved slightly, and the strange sound in his ear drew his attention back.
Mu Chiye was helpless with the bewildered Shen Zhi and sighed, "What's the matter?"
Pastoral and wild soften the tone.
After Shen Zhi figured it out, he raised his pale lips very lightly. The sullen look on his face had not completely disappeared, and he looked pitiful as if he was forcing a smile.
Mu Chi's ambition suddenly shrank, and the pen stopped on the desk. The tip of the pen trembled and made a sound, and a little ink was seeping out.
"Speak, Shen Zhi," Mu Chiye pressed the corners of his lips down into an unhappy straight line and raised his voice.
Shen Zhi was stunned by Mu Chiye's sudden anger. He bit his upper lip until it turned bright red. He slowly blinked his long eyelashes and curled his eyes to regain some vitality.
Shen Zhi said nonsense: "I want a yacht, how can I ask you to buy it for me?"
Mu Chiye stared closely at every change in Shen Zhi's expression, trying to find out what the problem was.
Shen Zhi, who is used to protecting himself, even hides his taste in food. Mu Chiye has a new understanding of Shen Zhi's thoughtfulness and sensitivity.
Shen Zhi will protect himself, but without seeking asylum from him, Shen Zhi's protection of himself is limited.
Mu Chiye hoped that Shen Zhi could be more honest and that he should understand that it was not shameful to ask him for help.
Mu Chiye didn't notice anything wrong on Shen Zhi's face. He relaxed, leaned back on his office chair, and looked at Shen Zhi.
"I'll go back and think about it carefully, and then come back after I've made a plan. Maybe the success rate will be higher," Shen Zhi said with a stiff upper lip.
Shen Zhi didn't tell the truth, and Mu Chiye didn't want to force him.
However, Shen Zhi's excuse was lame.
"Do I look like a yacht to you?"
Maki Chiye adopted the same answer that all parents in the world give to their children's unreasonable demands.
Shen Zhi knew without hesitation that Mu Chiye would not buy him a cruise. Mu Chiye's reaction was within his expectations and Shen Zhi accepted it quickly.
Shen Zhi pretended to be serious and said vaguely, "If you don't want to buy it, forget it."
Mu Chiye's parenting manual said that children should be rewarded for correct behavior. Shen Zhi did listen to him, followed the three rules, and did not ask for things from others.
Mu Chiye was not sure about the scope of this reward, as it was not stipulated in the parenting manual. If he used a cruise ship to reward Shen Zhi for being obedient, Mu Chiye didn't know if it would be too much.
Mu Chiye said with some reservation: "I will buy it for you when I make enough money."
A yacht costs at least tens of millions. Given that Maki Chiye has been cut off from living expenses, it would take him several years to buy one with his salary, especially now that the G family's business is in dire straits.
Shen Zhi didn't want to discourage others, so he pretended to be excited and said, "Thank you, Brother Ye. I will definitely be filial to you when I have money in the future."
The old man who was respected by the filial son, "Mu Chiye": ...
It's true that he didn't want to marry Shen Zhi, but couldn't he be his brother? Now that he's been promoted to a higher grade, who can he complain to? Besides, is he that old?
"Get out. If I hear the word 'Brother Ye' again, I will kill you," Mu Chiye pretended to be impatient and asked Shen Zhi to leave.
Shen Zhi opened the door, and Dou Chiyu, who was eavesdropping outside the door, staggered.
Dou Chiyu's face was filled with embarrassment, but as he looked into Shen Zhi's deep eyes, he slowly transformed himself into an intimate elder.
As expected, Shen Zhi was just a little wild thing that couldn't cause any trouble.
He just heard it clearly. Although President Mu said nice things, such as fulfilling the promise later, he was a man and was just trying to make people happy.
Even if President Mu really cared about Shen Zhi, he wouldn't dare to be so blatant.
The heavy watch in his pocket was now in a safe place. Dou Chiyu took off his hypocritical mask and said, "If you want to walk the right path in the future, tell me. My cousin has some influence in Xialin. You can still support yourself as a cleaner without any education."
Shen Zhi stared at Dou Chiyu's light steps from behind, a family of robbers.
Shen Zhi returned to the office. Although G's corporate culture was not a wolf culture, it was well-known in the industry, so naturally the competition was fierce.
Shen Zhi was a person who took advantage of the situation and learned under Pei Yufeng.
Pei Yufeng wanted to teach Shen Zhi, who had no basic knowledge, some simple design skills, but unexpectedly discovered that Shen Zhi's talent lay in other skills. For example, Shen Zhi could accurately distinguish between major brands without a logo.
Shen Zhi was very knowledgeable about the design patterns and styles of various brands. If he was asked to describe them, Pei Yufeng could only look at the chicken feet of various shapes on the drawing and try to distinguish them.
In other words, Shen Zhi's skills are useless in the design industry.
Pei Yufeng comforted her, "Design is important, but having good connections is also important. I will introduce you to a few people in the future to spread your fame. You can also support yourself by creating an original brand."
Shen Zhi was not so arrogant. He never refused any good intentions. His clear and bright eyes twinkled as he said sweetly, "Brother Pei, it's great to have you."
Introducing a few people is not a big help to Pei Yufeng.
Shen Zhi's sincere words still made him feel soothed.
The two people smiled at each other, Shen Zhi was sunny and beautiful, Pei Yufeng was shy and handsome, the atmosphere was happy and the picture was beautiful.
Xia Xuan, who had just started working, saw this scene.
Shen Zhi sat at his workstation and talked with Pei Yufeng with a smile. Pei Yufeng half-bent over and looked at Shen Zhi with a doting look as he listened to Shen Zhi talking.
There is a kind of intimacy that others cannot interfere with.
Xia Xuan stepped slightly on the floor to signal Shen Zhi his arrival.
Shen Zhi curiously poked his head out and was a little surprised to see the person coming. "Brother Xuan, why are you here?"
Xia Xuan walked to Shen Zhi and nodded gently at him, "Xiao Zhi."
"I am now the deputy team leader of Group 2 of G's design department," Xia Xuan explained succinctly.
The design department of G House is divided into six major groups, which are mainly responsible for the overall style, theme, shape, color, material, and supporting design, and are ranked according to team capabilities.
Xia Xuan was able to enter the second group when he first joined the team, which shows that he has an excellent resume.
"Who is this?" Xia Xuan asked Shen Zhi politely without making anyone feel awkward.
Shen Zhi introduced the two enthusiastically, "This is Pei Yufeng, Brother Pei, a famous emerging designer. This is Xia Xuan, Brother Xuan, a great designer who just returned from China."
A hint of surprise flashed across Xia Xuan's eyes. It was rare to hear Shen Zhi praise others in such an admiring tone.
Xia Xuan had seen the perverse and irritable Shen Zhi in the bar, so Shen Zhi was surprised to see Pei Yufeng showing his soft belly.
Shen Zhi is young, and it is not wrong for him to not know the boundaries with other men after he has a boyfriend. As a good brother of Mu Chiye, Xia Xuan should not let people with ulterior motives get close to Shen Zhi.
"Hello, I'm Pei Yufeng, the leader of Group 6 of the Design Department of G Company." Pei Yufeng subconsciously felt that the handsome and humble man in front of him was hostile to him.
Pei Yufeng then denied his own thoughts, how could that be possible, they were just meeting for the first time.
Xia Xuan complimented, "Designer Pei is young and promising. I am Xia Xuan, a good friend of Xiao Zhi."
Pei Yufeng smiled awkwardly, feeling a little uneasy.
It was not an illusion. Pei Yufeng felt an inexplicable rejection when he looked into Xia Xuan's eyes, which looked friendly but were actually shrewd, behind the cold lenses.
If you think carefully about what Xia Xuan said just now, it also has the flavor of a declaration of sovereignty.
Pei Yufeng found an excuse and left in a hurry.
Xia Xuan pushed his glasses with one hand and turned to Shen Zhi, who still didn't understand what was going on. He didn't intend to lecture Shen Zhi, but rubbed Shen Zhi's furry head affectionately, "Did anyone come to apologize to you today?"
Shen Zhi looked confused, but nodded obediently, "Yes, he knelt down very quickly, so I forgave him."
Xia Xuan laughed at Shen Zhi's strange reason. He is still a child after all.
He did not tell Shen Zhi about how Mu Chiye cut off the other party's funding chain to discipline him, or how the other party had been in trouble these days and had to beg people for a chance to apologize.
Shen Zhi just wants to live happily in a black-and-white world. For example, if he is offended, he will wait for an apology. Shen Zhi can choose to forgive or not.
It is easy to coax Shen Zhi, at least it seems so for now.
"Would you like to work under me?" Xia Xuan extended an olive branch, seeking Shen Zhi's opinion.
Shen Zhicai didn't want that. Being by Pei Yufeng's side would help him complete his mission. Besides, in the original plot, he and the protagonist didn't have a relationship of mutual respect.
Shen Zhi was a little indifferent to feelings, and it was really too much of a test for him to carry out the mission and attack the person he was with day and night at the point in the plot.
Shen Zhi shook his head hurriedly, "I like being with Brother Pei."
Xia Xuan's gentle lips smoothed a little, and he said calmly: "It seems that Xiaozhi has a good relationship with Designer Pei."
Shen Zhi nodded in agreement. Of course, they were friends enough to do bad things together.
Shen Zhi's reaction caused turbulence in Xia Xuan's heart. Although he had a good impression of Shen Zhi, Xia Xuan preferred Mu Chiye, with whom he had known for more than 20 years. Moreover, he liked Mu Chiye, which increased his weight on Mu Chiye.
Shen Zhi's sense of propriety was too shallow. Xia Xuan instinctively thought about the consequences of Mu Chiye knowing about it, and suddenly felt dissatisfied that his lover was dependent on another man.
Xia Xuan controlled his emotions very well. As a friend, he had no right to teach his friend's boyfriend how to do things.
It would be possible to find an opportunity to reveal it to Makiye appropriately.
Shen Zhi is young and has an unstable mind. He is easily dazzled by the colorful world outside. If he runs away, there will be no one to find him.
Xia Xuan likes Mu Chiye and hopes for the best for him. Considering Mu Chiye in everything seems to be the primary purpose of his thinking.
"My father's birthday is in two days. You're welcome to come over," Xia Xuan invited. "I have work to hand over, so I'll leave first."
Shen Zhi said goodbye to Xia Xuan earnestly.
He didn't want to go to the birthday party of the old man of the Xia family. On the day of the birthday party, Xia Xuan had a complete falling out with the Xia family. Xia Xuan stood on the opposite side of the Xia family, while Mu Chiye, the protagonist, stood firmly with Xia Xuan.
Xia Xuan was deeply moved. Even though he knew that Mu Chiye was so sentimental because of their friendship of more than 20 years, he still couldn't help but be moved.
This is the beginning of the relationship between the protagonist and the receiver. They have a faint affection for each other, but the relationship will not develop further.
After all, Shen Zhi has not yet cleaned up the romantic affairs around Mu Chiye.
Shen Zhi didn't want to cause trouble for the protagonists when they showed signs of developing feelings for each other.
In fact, Shen Zhi had no say on what to think.
Mu Chiye said that he would keep Shen Zhi under his nose, and he meant what he said, and he strongly requested Shen Zhi to attend with him.
After get off work, I took Shen Zhi to the hospital.
Shen Zhi sat on the chair and poked the plaster on Mu Chiye's leg. "Didn't the doctor say that you still need to recuperate?"
Mu Chiye raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "You really care about me. I didn't expect you still remember it."
In his early years, Maki Chiye participated in extreme sports, and breaking arms and legs was commonplace. He has a good physical condition and recovers faster than most people.
The plaster restricted his movements too much. Shen Zhi was slippery and couldn't be found all day. The sooner it was removed, the better.
The doctor came in with the film and said, "It's almost healed and can be removed, but it will be better if you take care of it."
Mu Chiye interrupted the doctor's suggestion and said, "Just take it down now."
The doctor prepared the tools and asked with concern: "Why do you have to remove it now? Removing it too early will not be good for bone healing."
Mu Chiye tilted his head, and Shen Zhi stared at the doctor's work eagerly, wanting to show off his skills.
If parents don't take good care of their children, big problems will arise, especially for naughty children like Shen Zhi who are extremely destructive.
Mu Chiye turned around and gave the doctor a serious answer: "I'm going to attend a friend's father's birthday party in two days, and I want to be decent."
It made sense, and the doctor said nothing more.
Shen Zhi's mind moved slightly. The relationship between the top and bottom protagonists continued to develop in a place where he couldn't see.
Everything is progressing steadily.
