Perhaps the reason why the Shen family treated her so harshly was because they were afraid that she would outshine Shen Xinrou and Shen Xinai?
She was really pitiful.
Qi Rongchen was chatting with a little internet celebrity on WeChat when he suddenly noticed a small red "1" in the corner of his contacts list. He casually clicked on it and saw the name "Huo Siye". He was a little surprised, but when he tried to add him as a friend, he found that he had disappeared.
Qi Rongchen: "..."
Experience told him that he had turned off his contact list.
But he was quite curious. The perennial housebound man actually applied for WeChat and used such a flashy profile picture.
Tsk tsk, having a child bride was really different.
He was extremely bored and just wanted to have some fun, so he went straight to Junsheng Group.
The people at Junsheng knew him, so naturally they didn't stop him. He had a smooth journey all the way to the door of the CEO's office, and even the people at the reception desk didn't stop him.
Perhaps they thought he came too often and were all focused on their work, pretending not to see him.
Qi Rongchen pushed open the tightly closed CEO's office with a carefree stride.
Huo Siye heard the noise and cast a cold glance at him.
Qi Rongchen wasn't afraid at all. He thought he looked very handsome as he flicked his bangs and walked over, jokingly saying, "Has our Ah Ye finally realized the importance of expanding his social circle? Hey, I think you should have registered earlier. You don't know how much fun you've missed out on. But I just added you to our Three Handsome Men group, no, it should be Four Handsome Men group now."
"Shut up," Huo Siye wanted to stuff the mouse into his mouth when he heard him rambling on.
Huo Siye's warning was always like a gust of wind in Qi Rongchen's ears, and he continued to chatter, "From now on, brother will take you to fly and play around... Oh my god, why is she here?"
Qi Rongchen looked at Shen Xingkong, who was lying on the sofa like a dead pig, blinked his eyes, looked at Huo Siye, and then looked back at Shen Xingkong.
"Oh, I see." Qi Rongchen suddenly put on a sly expression, quickly ran to Huo Siye's side, and teased him ambiguously, "You guys are in the office? Playing something so exciting for the first time? My Ah Ye is amazing... Ah ah ah... Ah, what did you put in my mouth? Damn it, is this mouse dirty?"
Qi Rongchen spat out the mouse that someone had stuffed into his mouth, and his eye twitched like he was possessed, "Are we still brothers? You have no humanity when it comes to the opposite sex. You're not acting like a human being when you're being explicit."
Huo Siye's cold gaze swept over again, and Qi Rongchen immediately shut up. "Okay, I'll shut up."
But his eyes still slyly glanced at Shen Xingkong on the sofa. It was amazing how much the bean sprouts had grown in just a few days since he last saw her looking pale and thin. She was like a sleeping beauty now.
"You want to die? Close your eyes," a cold warning suddenly sounded in his ear.
Qi Rongchen came back to his senses and put on a playful expression again, "Tsk tsk, so my Ah Ye's possessiveness is so strong."
"What are you here for?" Huo Siye asked.
"Just to play, is that not okay?"
"No."
"Then I'm here to witness the moment when my Ah Ye's stone skin is revealed."
Huo Siye said, "Slandering a little girl's innocence is not something a gentleman would do."
"I'm just slandering, but you're defiling. What happened to the child bride you promised? You only raised her for a few days and then ate her? Are you a gentleman? You're not even a man. You're a beast!" Qi Rongchen almost bit his teeth off on the last four words.
Huo Siye's eyes were filled with anger, and he kicked Qi Rongchen's knee.
Qi Rongchen, "..."
"How's your company doing?"
Qi Rongchen rubbed his knee in pain and was taken aback by Huo Siye's sudden question. "Why do you care about my company? Wait, you're not trying to enter the entertainment industry, are you? Come on, bro, can I call you bro? Don't take my job, okay? Remember when I protected you from the dog when we were kids?"
Qi Rongchen's worries were unfounded.
After graduating from university, everyone thought Huo Siye would take over the most profitable real estate industry of the Huo family, but he was unexpectedly sent to the least profitable Junsheng Hotel. However, with his decisive and efficient methods, Huo Siye transformed Junsheng Hotel and set a new record in revenue in just two years. He also expanded the subsidiary brands and established the Junsheng Hotel Group, vigorously developing high-end apartments and resorts, firmly establishing himself as the leader in the hotel industry. His high-end apartments became the most popular among high-end white-collar workers in just a few years. It is said that the market share is almost catching up with the Huo family's real estate business controlled by the second branch. Otherwise, the second branch would not be so afraid of this motherless wild child, Huo Siye.
Qi Rongchen thought that if Huo Siye really entered the entertainment industry, many people would be out of a job.
"I'm not interested in your job."
"Really?"
Huo Siye glanced at him. "The bowl is too small, not worth it."
Hearing him say that the bowl was too small, Qi Rongchen decided not to argue with him. He quickly patted his chest, looking scared. "Then why are you asking? You don't seem like the kind of person who cares for no reason."
Huo Siye furrowed his brow. "The weasel pays a New Year's call to the chicken, but it has ulterior motives."
He pressed his temple, feeling that it was not easy to be friends with Qi Rongchen for so many years. He was making it too difficult for himself.
"The weasel, what do you want to do? Can you let me die quickly?" Qi Rongchen knew Huo Siye well. If he didn't have something to say, he wouldn't open his mouth.
Since he asked, it meant he had an idea.
"Somebody wants to take your job, I'll investigate first."
Qi Rongchen asked, "No, enemy? Are we enemies now?"
Huo Siye glanced at the little girl sleeping soundly on the sofa, his lips slightly curved.
Qi Rongchen inexplicably shivered.
This was too much of a spring heart.
It was almost like having an affair written all over his face.
He followed his gaze and suddenly seemed to understand something. "You mean she wants to take my job?"
Huo Siye didn't respond, but Qi Rongchen had already seen the answer from his expression.
Qi Rongchen was a little surreal. "She wants to debut?"
"She wants to be the boss."
Qi Rongchen said, "..."
"Give her half of your business empire for now." Huo Siye said seriously.
Qi Rongchen couldn't laugh anymore. "Can I ask a question?"
Huo Siye raised his chin and gave him a look of "ask away."
"How do we split the profits?"
"You still want profits?"
Qi Rongchen asked, "Can't I want them?"
He hadn't even asked who would take responsibility for any losses yet.
Wait a minute.
"What about the losses? If I can't have the profits, surely I can't be responsible for the losses too?"
"Of course not."
"Then that's good."
"It's on you."
Qi Rongchen felt like a huge weight had been lifted off his chest.
