Xue Zhu, upon seeing his big boss finally remember him, a subordinate hovering on the brink of life and death, was almost moved to tears.
However, upon hearing Mo Chen's request, he silently cursed his trash boss, feeling his emotions had been wasted.
"Boss, I can't take it anymore. If you don't come back soon, I'll truly die of overwork in the office," Xue Zhu wailed.
Heaven knew how many things there were in managing a company. One day it was signing documents, the next it was holding meetings; even he and Luo Yunping, working with all their might, couldn't finish it all.
Xue Zhu once again marveled that his boss wasn't human, to be able to achieve so much on his own!
"Think about your year-end bonus, think about your annual salary, and then think about your mortgage. Can you still hold on?" Mo Chen's gentle tone carried incredibly cold words.
Xue Zhu: ...
"Okay, Boss. When do you need the information by?" Xue Zhu's attitude did a complete 180-degree turn. There was no other way; the boss paid too much.
Otherwise, he and Luo Yunping wouldn't be working so hard!
"Before noon tomorrow." With that, Mo Chen hung up the phone, then took out his laptop to handle some documents that only he could process.
On the other side, Shen Yao and her second elder brother, Shen Huaijin, sat in a pavilion on the rooftop.
"Second Brother, are you worried?" Shen Yao asked, seeing Shen Huaijin staring into the distance in silence.
Shen Huaijin started, "Yes, I haven't heard any news from Qingqing for a long time."
Jiang Qingqing was Shen Huaijin's girlfriend.
Since returning to the Shen family, Shen Huaijin had been unable to contact Jiang Qingqing, and naturally, Jiang Qingqing hadn't contacted him either.
Shen Huaijin knew without even thinking that Jiang Qingqing was being watched by her parents and had no opportunity to contact him.
This also made him very worried, although he had to admit that no matter how much the Jiang family disliked him, they wouldn't do anything to Jiang Qingqing.
"Then let's inquire about her when we go to H City tomorrow. We'll be staying there for a while anyway," Shen Yao said. She was also very interested in this future sister-in-law.
"Forget it," Shen Huaijin said with some dejection.
In his current situation, although he had achieved some success, it was nothing compared to the Jiang family, like comparing an ant to an elephant.
"Forget what? My sister-in-law is so good, and you're not seizing the opportunity to be with her, yet you expect her to come find you!" Shen Yao wished she could jump up and hit Shen Huaijin.
Her second brother had one drawback: he was very intelligent and decisive, but he was indecisive when it came to his own feelings.
"If you hadn't brought your sister-in-law home earlier, the Jiang family's impression of you would have improved. This is a good start, so why are you just waiting here instead of seizing the opportunity to improve your standing? Are you waiting for the girl to come to you?"
Shen Yao's words struck Shen Huaijin like a heavy blow, and his eyes lit up, "You think the Jiang family's impression of me will change?"
"Of course! Your sister-in-law wanted to elope back then, and you sent her back, not delaying her. Any parent who cherishes their children would have a change of heart."
Shen Yao said earnestly.
Actually, given Shen Huaijin's circumstances back then, any family would be unwilling to marry their precious daughter to him.
His family background was not good; they could only be considered middle-class at best. Not only was his family background poor, but his health was also not good, as the removal of a kidney was an irreversible injury to anyone.
Kidneys, they related to a person's life. If not for Shen Yao's intervention, it was questionable how long Shen Huaijin could have lived!
But now it was different. Although their family couldn't compare to some major families, they were still doing quite well.
Just based on what they had now, becoming rich was only a matter of time. Moreover, their Shen family was also registered at a higher level.
"Might as well go see your master."
Shen Yao said, her eyes filled with anger that she couldn't hide.
Her second brother was a good person, and the fact that you wanted to scheme against him was one thing, but to beat him up like that was another. If it weren't for meeting Jiang Qingqing, her second brother might have already become a corpse.
Her second brother, out of some sense of gratitude, had decided not to seek revenge, but she was different; she wasn't planning to let it go.
"Alright."
Shen Huaijin didn't stop Shen Yao. The reason he didn't pursue the matter with that person back then was partly out of consideration for past kindness, and partly because he was afraid that if that person went to jail, his daughter would be foisted upon him for care.
Although that person had relatives, most of them were unreliable. If they knew he was the one who sent that person to prison, they would divide up that person's property and then push his daughter onto him.
To avoid unnecessary trouble later on, he didn't want to get involved with them, so he gritted his teeth and swallowed the indignity.
Upon hearing that Shen Huaijin didn't object, Shen Yao couldn't help but smile, "That's right. I really thought you would have pity for those people."
Her second brother had always been a vengeful person.
"No, are you going tomorrow too?" Shen Huaijin finally grasped the key point of the conversation.
"Yes, Mo Chen helped me buy all the tickets," Shen Yao said.
"Who agreed to this?!"
Their little sister was already so far along in her pregnancy, and she was still traveling with them. This was too dangerous.
"Mom and Dad."
Shen Huaijin: This is truly wonderful. *Smiling.jpg*
H City, Jiang Residence.
"Qingqing, come out for dinner," a gentle female voice called out, and the door was pushed open.
The woman turned on the light, revealing a more than two-meter-long pink princess bed. A girl with her hair down was sitting on the bay window, looking out through the glass.
The girl was very lovely, clearly a very well-behaved child, but her face was now streaked with tears, indicating she had just been crying.
"Qingqing, don't be like this. You're breaking your mother's heart," the woman said, her heart aching. She walked to the bay window and hugged her tightly.
Jiang Qingqing listlessly raised her head, then resumed her previous posture. "Mom, do you think Jin Ge really doesn't want me anymore?"
Xie Lan, her heart filled with pain, stroked Jiang Qingqing's hair, "How could he? Our Qingqing is the best girl in the world. How could anyone not like Qingqing?"
Jiang Qingqing's eyes lit up when she heard this. "Really? Then why hasn't Jin Ge come to find me?"
Jiang Qingqing was extremely dejected. It had been two months, and he hadn't come to find her once, even though he had promised not to give up on her, he hadn't sought her out at all.
Xie Lan hesitated, wanting to say something but not saying it. Instead, she pulled Jiang Qingqing up. "Don't be sad anymore. Come downstairs. Mom made your favorite dish."
Jiang Qingqing didn't want to go down, but she also knew that she couldn't let her parents worry about her like she did.
