Leng Yuchen's actions gave Sheng Jie quite a shock. While he was hesitating, Sheng Jie unconsciously rose from his previous position beside the tea tray and stood respectfully behind Leng Yuchen.
He was afraid that he would also dunk his head in Pu'er tea, while having too much fun. However, his worries were unfounded, as Leng Yuchen did not bother to think about him at all.
At the moment, Leng Yuchen carelessly lifted his neck and shook his head. The tea droplets flew into the air instantly, just like a slow-motion replay. The scene dazzled Sheng Jie's eyes.
After that, Leng Yuchen ran his fingers through his ink black hair and ruffled it carelessly. His hair immediately looked stylish. It was as if the new hairstyle had been tailored especially for Leng Yuchen.
The most eye-catching thing about this scene, however, was that, after getting soaked, Leng Yuchen's hair resembled the same sheep's wool hair that An Yufei had! This fact stuck in Sheng Jie's mind deeply.
As he thought about what this sight suggested, Sheng Jie's shoulders began to tremble unconsciously. He then folded his hands, while his subconscious mind began chanting various scriptures and spiritual words… Prajna Boromir... Guan Shiyin Bodhisattva...
As he opened his eyes, he didn't know if it was because he had just chanted prayers in his mind, but Sheng Jie saw that grudge Leng Yuchen's anger seemed to have faded away. So, he dared to go on speaking to Leng Yuchen as he had before. At the same time, he did not forget to present his boss with a dry towel.
Leng Yuchen took the towel and wiped his head and hands with it. When he had dumped the tea, he had done it just right.
He'd just wet his hair, not leaving even a single tea stain on the collar of his shirt. Plus, his hair smelled more attractive, as it smelled like tea now!
"Can you see the uniqueness of this picture now?" Leng Yuchen gently picked up the photo again and asked Sheng Jie, while pointing to An Yufei's smiling face.
Sheng Jie looked at Leng Yuchen, who was looking at the picture with a gentle expression. He wanted nothing more than to strangle himself, while he simply kept nodding.
"Well, the child looks just like you, especially the nose and eyes!" Sheng Jie exclaimed with a smile.
He added hurriedly, "And her skin! It's snow-white! How did the ancient people describe it? Smooth, soft, and glossy? Yes, those are the words to describe it!"
As he saw Leng Yuchen smile at his flattering words, he immediately went on and kept praising the child's features. "And… Those two charming dimples! Just by looking at these dimples alone, I know it must be your child!"
When he mentioned the dimples, Leng Yuchen glanced at Sheng Jie from the side and pouted his lips. "Look closely! Do I have dimples? That's obviously from An Qi's side!"
Ohhhh….
Sheng Jie instantly realized that his last attempt at flattery had clearly missed its mark, as Boss Leng was clearly annoyed by his mistake. After all, Boss Leng had always hated people who lied through their teeth.
Sheng Jie shrank back, as he was afraid that Leng Yuchen would settle both old and new scores with him. So, he instantly rushed to the tea tray, and with one quick motion, he imitated Leng Yuchen and poured the tea on his own head!
Since Sheng Jie was calculating, he'd decided to go ahead and choose his own punishment first, in hopes that Boss Leng would not try to come up with some other idea to torture him. It was a good idea, but unfortunately, Sheng Jie had chosen the wrong teapot...
Originally, Leng Yuchen had used warm tea, but in his hurry, Sheng Jie did not think and had directly picked up the teapot that was still sitting on the burner! As a result, cries of torture rang out from the top floor of the Leng Group building, almost toppling the roof off! It was not until the security guards had almost called the fire truck that Sheng Jie's screams finally stopped.
Leng Yuchen rubbed his lower forehead and chose to ignore Sheng Jie's shouts. Instead, he used this opportunity to put An Qi's information into a safe.
Behind him, several security guards surrounded Sheng Jie. They laid ice on his head, hoping to alleviate some of the pain. Sheng Jie was very grateful for their help.
However, among them was a man whose gaze never left Leng Yuchen. As he watched Leng Yuchen put the information in the safe, his eyes widened. He knew that these documents must be of great value, and if he was to hand them over to his boss, he would be handsomely rewarded.
As this spy was trying to refrain from drooling, while thinking of how much profit he could earn from this situation, Leng Yuchen had suddenly appeared behind him. Leng Yuchen immediately kicked the man so hard that he was sent flying, landing directly in front of Sheng Jie.
This spooked Sheng Jie, who jumped ran to the corner of the office in a reactionary panic. His speed was so fast that even Leng Yuchen felt ashamed to admit that he would not be able to catch up with him. He certainly did not seem like a man who sat at a computer desk all the time!
The other security guards reacted quickly as well. They instantly tackled the man, then held the man down.
Leng Yuchen then snorted and glanced at the spooked Sheng Jie. "Go downstairs and have a word with their leader. Don't just recruit any miscellaneous spies into the company!"
Sheng Jie, who was still crouching in the corner, immediately ran back to Leng Yuchen at an astonishing speed. "Yes, Boss Leng."
At long last, Sheng Jie had gotten a chance to show off! He retreated behind Leng Yuchen and kept looking at the security guards in front of him as if they were still in cahoots with people who were scheming against Leng Yuchen.
This made Leng Yuchen very uncomfortable. So, he put his hands in his trousers pocket and turned to Sheng Jie, who was so badly burnt that he looked like a red crab!
"I'm afraid that you'll soon be thoroughly cooked, and I can't deploy a flaming red hairy crab, so you'd better go down and talk about it now!" Leng Yuchen barked.
Sheng Jie was almost choked to death by his saliva on the spot. Then, with a disgruntled expression, he obediently ran towards the door. Meanwhile, the security guards worked hard to hold back their laughter, while they let the man get up from the ground.
One of the guards then said, "Boss Leng, we'll take this man to let the chief interrogate him. If he doesn't know much, can the chief then ask for your opinion again, as to whether or not we should let him go?"
Leng Yuchen agreed with a wave of his hand. The security guards then ordered the man to turn around, at which point they erupted in peals of laughter. As they marched out of the door, they whispered among themselves...
"I wonder if you have noticed that the general mood of Boss Leng these past two days seems to be exceptionally good?"
"Yes! I was thinking the same thing!"
As the corridor on the top floor echoed with the voices of the security guards, Leng Yuchen smiled a little, then returned to his computer desk to continue observing An Qi.
