support
Of course, Chen Qixiao is not here to support outsiders.
The person who was sent yesterday turned out to be a small leader in a department of Chen Corporation. No one knew how horrified this small leader was when he went to investigate the situation and discovered that the plagiarist was the young master of his own company.
And everyone knows how angry Chen Qixiao was when he learned that his brother had been wronged.
Of course, this news could not be hidden from Chen Jiahuan and Chen Zhangyuan. The couple worriedly called Chen Qixiao and asked him, as the older brother, to quickly go and support his younger brother.
They all knew that Chen Qi'an was the type of person who didn't like to talk when he was wronged.
After receiving the news, Chen Qixiao immediately bought the earliest flight to the city where University A was located. Seeing his brother's haggard appearance, his already depressed mood was further inflamed by anger, followed by heartache.
Under everyone's gaze, he slowly took out his personal mobile phone, placed it on the table, pushed it to the middle of the table, and lightly tapped the screen with his index finger.
Everyone was confused.
The phone chimed, a recording that sounded like a recording.
"Brother?" It was Chen Qian'an's voice with a hint of electricity.
Everyone at the table was shocked. They didn't expect Chen Qian'an to have such a powerful background.
His roommate was completely disheartened. Even if they couldn't produce any evidence, given the relationship between Chen Qi'an and Chen Qixiao, his plan wouldn't work for him. Furthermore, the Chen family probably wouldn't let him go.
The recording continues.
The recording actually means that Chen Qi'an encountered something he didn't understand about the project and wanted to ask Chen Qixiao, a professional. Chen Qixiao answered patiently and even chatted about some family matters before the call ended.
After the recording finished playing, Chen Qixiao said calmly, "This recording is from a call Xiao An made to me two years ago. I think everyone has the answer after listening to the recording. This recording is older than..." He paused and looked at his roommate, "All the documents provided by Mr. Liu are older than this."
The roommate's face paled instantly. If he was proven to have plagiarized, his future would be ruined. His lips trembled for a moment before he swallowed, his voice tense, "Young men from big companies are just different... Even if they plagiarize, someone will find ways to back them up, even bringing out ridiculous things like phone recordings. Who would believe a phone recording from two years ago would still exist?"
Upon hearing this, Zheng Hongwen was so angry that he wanted to jump up and punch him, but he still had some sense and knew that he didn't need to do anything. Chen Qi'an frowned and lowered his head in silence, without saying a word.
Chen Qixiao chuckled and said slowly, "You're being stubborn. We don't mind going to court with you to verify the authenticity."
Honestly, the whole family records every call with Chen Qi'an. On the one hand, they all cherish this youngest child, and on the other, Chen Qi'an is a man of few words, often hanging up after just a few words. Everyone cherishes their conversations with him.
The matter was resolved perfectly. Chen Qixiao looked at Chen Qi'an who kept his head down. He walked over and rubbed his hair to comfort him. He told the school directors in the meeting room not to reveal Chen Qi'an's identity to anyone, and not to give Chen Qi'an any special treatment. Just treat him as an ordinary student.
Chen Qixiao still had work to do, and before he had time to say a few more words to his brother, he was urged by his assistant to board the plane. He had no choice but to swallow his words and prepare to leave.
"Brother—" Chen Qi'an suddenly called him. He also stopped and turned to look at Chen Qi'an. Chen Qi'an looked at him deeply, "Thank you."
As a result, when his brother heard the "thank you", he frowned and said, "What are you thanking me for?" and hurried away.
Although Chen Qixiao didn't say it, Chen Qi'an knew how troublesome it would be if his brother could produce this recording.
First, he had to look at the man's plan, and also search his memory for what Chen Qi'an had said to him about the project before, even though Chen Qi'an rarely told him these things. Then he had to determine the time interval to listen to the recordings one by one.
As Chen Qixiao's younger brother, Chen Qi'an knew how busy his brother was. At that time, Chen Qixiao had already joined the company's management team. Because he was still young, he needed to work very hard to convince the board of directors. He had almost no personal time during that time—and of course, he still has no personal time now.
Dong You, upon hearing this, said nonchalantly, "Of course, you've been wronged by this. Your brother must be furious. I guarantee that your aunt and uncle must know about it, too."
After a pause, she still didn't say "If I knew, I would definitely rush to support you without hesitation." She always felt that it sounded a bit like hindsight.
Chen Qi'an smiled and said, "I know."
The love his family gave him was always enough to make him feel at ease.
Having said that, I’ve basically finished.
They still kept hugging each other, Chen Qi'an nestled in Dong You's warm embrace and refused to leave. Dong You touched the ends of his hair and secretly kissed his hair with his lips.
Winter travel can sometimes make you feel careless, but sometimes you can be extremely sharp.
After hearing so much, she could tell from Chen Qi'an's expression when he talked about those years that he really enjoyed the atmosphere at school and that he valued Zheng Hongwen as a good friend.
Perhaps these experiences made him feel sad, but he also yearned for such a goal-oriented life where every day was very fulfilling.
Dong You asked, “Why didn’t you continue your doctoral studies?”
She knew that Chen Qi'an was a good student and could do well in things he loved. Dong You believed that if Chen Qi'an wanted to, it would not be difficult for him to take the doctoral exam.
I didn't get an immediate reply, but instead felt the head in my arms seem to droop even lower.
Noticing his mood change, Dong You didn't ask any further questions. He had already said a lot of unhappy things tonight, and she didn't want to make him unhappy anymore.
Dongyou tightened his grip on his shoulders.
Chen Qi'an struggled with his mind for a long time before he slowly spoke: "I'm a little... a little scared."
After that, there was silence again.
In the place where you can’t see during winter tour, your eyes are still closed.
He felt ashamed.
After the plagiarism incident, his roommate was undoubtedly punished. Chen Qi'an was the only one left in the dormitory, and the school was considering adding another student, rumored to be a new student arriving next semester. Zheng Hongwen, concerned, applied to the school to share a dorm with him for the next semester.
But Chen Qian'an was still traumatized.
No one knew how much he trusted his roommate before.
Because of this incident, he even looked at Zheng Hongwen with a certain degree of inquiry. This inquiry was so blatant that even a person as thick-skinned as Zheng Hongwen could notice it, but he gently pretended not to notice and continued to tell jokes as usual.
Chen Qi'an knew that this was wrong and would make Zheng Hongwen feel disheartened. But he couldn't help but wonder if Zheng Hongwen was just like his roommate.
He began to panic and fear anyone who approached him, and began to assume the greatest malice towards others.
Over time, his facial expressions became lacking, and others gradually became afraid of his lukewarm attitude and dared not approach him.
It is undeniable that he became suspicious, began to distrust strangers, and was even afraid to start a new relationship.
His mother noticed his abnormality and asked him to take half a semester off to adjust his mood.
But the knot in his heart was still there, and he didn't think he had a mental illness and refused to see a psychiatrist.
He had thought about taking the doctoral exam before.
But whenever he thought about entering a new environment, meeting new people, and interacting with new people after taking the doctoral exam, he felt conflicted and anxious.
He backed off.
I accepted the job assigned to me at home, an unimportant job.
What he sacrificed was his colorful life, and what he gained was peace of mind.
Time passed minute by minute, and Dongyou remained silent.
With every tick of the second, Chen Qi'an felt a little nervous because of Dong You's silence.
Did she spit on me in her heart? Was she spitting on me for being too cowardly?
Maybe I'm being too sentimental.
It's no big deal.
What's the big deal about this?
Why don't you dare take that step?
Maybe people aren't that bad.
You are like a lazy bug, doing nothing and just wasting your time all day.
What are you pursuing?
Why don’t you fight for your future?
You are letting yourself down.
How can you be worthy of her when you do nothing like this?
What are your abilities?
Are your abilities very poor?
Why not use your abilities?
Why let him gather dust in a corner.
Dong You didn't internally despise him, as Chen Qi'an had anticipated. She simply hadn't anticipated the profound impact this incident had on him. Clearly, it wasn't a good thing for him. She was thinking about how to help him overcome that obstacle, move forward, and bravely pursue what he loved.
The more he thought about her, the more he wanted to kill that roommate.
Before she could think of a solution, she heard a muffled voice from her arms: "I'm signing up this year."
"Huh????" Dong You was completely stunned by this sentence.
Why did you suddenly say to sign up? Weren’t you scared just now?
But it wasn't a bad thing after all. She pulled him out of her arms and saw that his pretty face was full of sorrow. She felt like he was about to bite her lips.
Hmm...it seems like he's not very willing to do this, Dong You thought.
She didn't want Chen Qian'an to be unhappy.
Although she knew that Chen Qi'an loved school and was also confused by his current boring daily life, she didn't want Chen Qi'an to push himself too hard and drive away the little joy he had.
She placed a lip print on the middle of Chen Qi'an's forehead, and under Chen Qi'an's astonished gaze, she said softly: "It's okay, think about it again, I respect your thoughts."
Chen Qi'an used up a lot of energy to suppress the urge to touch his forehead. He said woodenly, "I want to sign up."
Unprepared, Dong You kissed him on the forehead again and encouraged him, "Are you so determined, Xiao An? Well, now that you've made up your mind, I will definitely support you wholeheartedly. I believe your doctoral studies will be colorful, and I will never allow you to be bullied by others. I will do my best to protect you."
At the end of his speech, Dong You's eyes became firm, serious, and even a little vicious: "If anyone bullies you, I will make him pay the price."
Chen Qi'an smiled.
He knew that it was not only like this for Winter Travel, but also for his brother, mother and father.
He thought, yes, there are so many people standing behind him, why should he be afraid? What can those people do to him?
