Chapter 1781
These truths, she will naturally understand when she grows up, saying too much now will only add to the child’s psychological burden. I simply gave her her favourite pea pods and passed a wink to Sang Yun to help look after them, which diverted the attention of the four seasons.
When I turned my face, Shen Yu looked uncomfortable.
I couldn’t resist making fun of him, “You’re not really going to compare yourself to someone else’s teacher, are you?”
Shen Yu narrowed his eyes, pinching his chin in analysis, “This is only how long I’ve been in primary school, and my exclusive pet has been snatched away by a teacher, what a person, even more charming than me, it seems we must meet for a while, you don’t have to take care of Four Seasons after school tomorrow, I’ll pick it up.”
“What are you going to do, don’t scare the teacher, I’ve asked Mofilin to ask around, Mr. Chen isn’t a bad person, it’s rare that Four Seasons is willing to open up to someone, so don’t mess it up again.” I nagged.
“Come on, I’ve got a handle on it,” Shen Yu wanly waved her hand and digressed straight away, “Tell me about you, how long has it been since you’ve asked me to do something, tell me about it.”
“I knew I couldn’t hide it from you.” I shrugged my shoulders, cupped a tall glass to one side and toasted him, “Take me on a business trip!”
“Business? You’re the boss of a law firm, and you’re the wife of Fu’s boss, and you need me to teach you?” Shen Yu said without teasing, his shrewd and demonic eyes couldn’t stop glancing at my face, as if he wanted to see into my heart.
I pursed my lips, put the cup down and laughed, “I’ve taken the initiative to ask, of course it’s not small business, you’ll help me right?”
Shen Yu took a deep breath and looked even more surprised, “You’re short of money lately?”
“Well, lacking!” I nodded vigorously.
It was no exaggeration to say that hiring a mercenary of Miller’s calibre would cost even more than a senior manager under Fu Shen Yan’s hand, and besides, I had used a small extra team to guard around the Four Seasons, which was also a big expense.
The first thing I want to do is to work with Shen Yu, but making money is not my first goal.
Shen Yu’s expression after hearing this was even more rare, like he was looking at a prehistoric creature, and that look was close to directly stating – are you kidding me?
Indeed, Fu’s second largest shareholder, Shen’s family’s golden girl, backed by resources like Lin Ivana and Mo Zhi Zhan, if such a person would still lack money, then the whole world is poor and miserable.
After being looked at by him for a while, out of weakness, I had to move my eyes away first, “OK, I’ll be honest, Betcoin is now looking for Fu Shen Yan, I have to go and meet the person who started all this.”
“You want to get close to Du Haotian?” Shen Yu’s expression suddenly turned serious, and without even thinking about it, he immediately shot back, “No.”
My smile faltered, “Why?”
Shen Yu’s tone was not very good as he had a dark face, “Shen Shu, you’ve been out of your mind for just two days, haven’t you? I gave you a company and let you work, all this is to make you stable, not to give you the courage to mess around!”
The words came out of my mouth as he scolded me, and the atmosphere at the table suddenly became stagnant.
Despite the bad tone, it was clear to me that he was also worried too much about my safety.
After a moment’s reflection, I picked up my phone and dialled Miller’s number.
The person on the other end picked up immediately, “What’s up?”
“Come in for a second, I’m at the restaurant.”
With that, I hung up the phone and sat face to face with Shen Yu, waiting quietly.
Within a minute, footsteps sounded upstairs, and when Shen Yu and I looked over at the sound, we saw Miller walking down the staircase with a leisurely touch of the handrail.
Halfway down, she stopped, her misty eyes looking down at us from above, extremely condescending.
Chapter 1782
“What’s going on?” Shen Yu was anxious, “Isn’t that your newly recruited secretary? When did she come in?”
“Miller was recruited by me yes, but her main job is not to be a secretary, but, to protect me.” I explained.
Shen Yu sniffed and looked at me with a suspicious look, as if he was pondering the credibility of that statement.
To put his worries to rest, I added, “The security at Shen’s house is tight enough, isn’t it, that Miller can appear before our eyes in less than a minute, without alerting anyone, you should believe that she is capable enough to protect me, no?”
Shen Yu didn’t say anything, mostly convinced.
“Want to sit down and eat together?” I asked Miller, looking up.
“Anything else?” Miller’s face was as cold as if it had been hardened with ice, and he simply ignored my words.
“Nope.” I was a little embarrassed to call her out of the blue to show up just to prove it to Shen Yu, “It’s quite cold outside, have something to warm you up?”
Without answering, Miller turned and headed upstairs, not taking two steps, then paused and said with a sidelong glance, “I’m not used to it.”
With that, he picked up his pace and headed up the stairs, disappearing at the entrance to the building.
But I was a little confused.
Not used to what? Chinese food?
But tonight we were cooking mostly seafood, and the way this kind of food is cooked is uniform both at home and abroad, so there shouldn’t be any difference in taste.
Maybe Miller was just far enough away to take it for granted that the table was full of Chinese food.
My mind was deserting me when Shen Yu suddenly stood up and blocked my view, his deep eyes focused on me, serious and gentle, “I promise you.”
“Really?” I was a little overjoyed, not expecting Shen Yu’s attitude to change so quickly.
“Mm.” Shen Yu’s face had little expression, I couldn’t tell how happy or angry he was at the moment, his face was already cold, so this made him look even more distant.
I couldn’t continue to be playful, and straightened my expression before asking him again, “Shen Yu, do you think I’m too impulsive and angry?”
Shen Yu shook his head, sighed, looked at me and said in a serious tone, “I do feel relieved.”
“Hmm?” I expressed confusion with my eyes.
“I used to think that you were always stubborn and impulsive, rampaging like a man, always getting yourself hurt, so I had to protect you at all times, but today, seeing that secretary of yours, knowing that you had accomplished such a big thing all by yourself without our knowledge, I knew that you had matured, and as long as you yourself know how valuable this life of yours is, what else can I not feel comfortable letting you to let go of it?”
Maturity, the weight of these two words.
Inexplicably, the softness deep in my heart was touched, and I felt a mixture of emotions.
After a moment, he reacted wrongly and slapped him hard on the arm, “Who are you calling a man!”
“Me! I’m a man alright, say it, what do you want to do and I’ll see how I can cooperate with you.” Shen Yu laughed.
“Very simple!” I walked up and recklessly racked Shen Yu upstairs, “What about today, let’s start with educating me about the business of Betelgeuse!”
……
The next day, Shen Yu took me straight to Du’s, and our identities were the general manager of Shen’s and the second largest shareholder of Fu’s.
Humans always like to be close to the enemy’s enemy, and this is especially evident in the treacherous shopping malls, as Shen Yu was the driving force behind making Zhao Mingcheng never return to China, and even with Shen Changlin, a natural shield against treacherous businessmen, the doorman at Du’s did not stop us at the door, but was respectfully ushered into the parlour by the receptionist.
