Chapter 84: Young President, Reunion of Old Friends
Shen Zhuo returned to his own room.
He hadn’t been back here for a few months.
When he moved to Du Xun’s manor, he basically didn’t bring any of his own things.
Shen Zhuo rummaged through the closet and found a box.
“What is this?” Du Xun opened it and saw a necklace.
It was in the shape of a hollow metal sphere.
Inside was a translucent, pale red sphere.
“This is the crystallized form of my gland blood and pheromones.”
This necklace was for saving lives.
Whether for his alpha or himself.
If it really came to a life-threatening moment.
Crushing it would provide the last bit of pheromone support.
For high-level omegas or alphas, pheromones were an important factor in maintaining vital signs.
In a critical moment, it could save a life.
Shen Zhuo gestured for Du Xun to lower his head.
“You keep this—”
Shen Zhuo enunciated each word, leaving no room for negotiation:
“Head down.”
Du Xun had to obediently bend down.
Shen Zhuo took out the necklace, his hands reaching around the alpha’s neck, his breath spraying on Du Xun’s neck.
Without deliberately keeping a distance, the atmosphere was relaxed and ambiguous.
Body heat transferred through the thin fabric.
The man turned his head and kissed the tip of the boy’s ear.
Visibly, the soft pink turned bright red instantly.
The boy flinched, fastened the necklace, and immediately bit back: “Back at you.”
“Hiss…” Du Xun chuckled, clasping the boy’s waist with one hand, pretending to be aggrieved, “Wife is so fierce.”
Shen Zhuo kept his arms around Du Xun’s neck and looked up at him.
“Yes.”
Du Xun laughed out loud: “Spoiled and arrogant.”
Shen Zhuo raised an eyebrow: “That’s right, so will you still spoil me?”
Du Xun kissed Shen Zhuo’s forehead.
“I like you arrogant; you can be even more arrogant.”
Shen Zhuo narrowed his eyes; Du Xun really didn’t hide anything when he spoke now.
Du Xun stared into the boy’s eyes.
Long eyelashes, curled like butterfly wings, covering clear and beautiful eyes.
He liked these eyes, quiet and black, yet able to see the passionate and brilliant fire behind the coldness.
“Why look at me like that… Mmh!”
The rest of the words were swallowed whole.
Du Xun cradled the back of the boy’s head, holding the warm and soft body tighter.
A knock on the door made Shen Zhuo stiffen.
“Are you guys still eating?”
At the door was Shen Xuyin’s lazy voice.
Wife must have been coaxed back.
So now he had to put on the appearance of a patriarch to restore some authority.
So immediately followed by a loud shout:
“Hurry up and come out to eat!”
Shen Zhuo’s eyes reddened slightly, hurriedly pushing Du Xun away, adjusting the hem of his messed-up clothes:
“Let’s go downstairs quickly.”
Behind the boy, Du Xun held the pendant in his palm, then tucked it into his collar against his skin.
Then he suddenly clutched the gland at the back of his neck, his whole body shaking violently, cold sweat breaking out instantly.
It took a while for Du Xun to recover from the unbearable severe pain, going downstairs with a pale face.
Today the cook made the meal; Jiang Yuening had wanted to show off his skills but was begged by Shen Xuyin, both openly and secretly, to stop.
At the dinner table, Jiang Yuening looked at Du Xun, who kept serving Shen Zhuo food and peeling shrimp, with eyes full of gratification and happiness.
Shen Xuyin muttered: “I can too!”
So he brought a whole bowl of shrimp on the table in front of him.
Jiang Yuening: “…”
Middle-aged show-off!
The two alphas seemed to be competing throughout the meal. Shen Zhuo glanced at the bowl already piled into a small mountain and winked at Jiang Yuening.
Shen Zhuo: Control your husband!
Jiang Yuening winked back: You control your husband first.
Shen Zhuo thought Du Xun seemed always like this, just opened his mouth to say “Du”.
Du Xun turned his head: “Eat more, you’re too tired these days, lost weight.”
Shen Xuyin’s eye twitched, immediately turning to Jiang Yuening: “Wife, you eat more too, so busy lately, my heart aches.”
Shen Zhuo: “…”
Jiang Yuening: “…”
Du Xun actually didn’t mean to compete.
Just the same as usual.
But in the eyes of Shen Xuyin, who had just coaxed his wife back—
This little brat was showing off!
Abducting his precious son and still flaunting his power, simply intolerable!
Isn’t it just comparing who treats their wife better! He can do it too!
Towards the end of the meal, Jiang Yuening finally couldn’t help starting another topic.
“We heard about what happened here and the movements of the royal family. What you did is tantamount to declaring war,”
Jiang Yuening looked up at the two: “What do you plan to do next?”
Shen Xuyin added: “Are you planning to find flaws in the royal family?”
Shen Xuyin’s aura was completely different when serious.
“The Second Prince is now imprisoned, the Third Prince isn’t a good heir, now the royal family only has one princess left, she will definitely be the Crown Princess.”
“So, is your breakthrough point Feng Muya?”
Du Xun put down his chopsticks, his voice steady and cold:
“Feng Muya is a pawn she placed in Ares. Once she can’t wait to use this pawn, we can catch them all.”
While Shen Xuyin and Du Xun were discussing business, Shen Zhuo received a message from a stranger.
The content was an invitation to an auction.
Thinking it was some junk ad, just as he was about to delete it, the strange number suddenly popped up another message.
[Lot 39: S5 Treatment Agent (Clinical Trial)]
[Perhaps, you need this, Shen Zhuo.]
This wasn’t a mass message.
This was aimed at him.
Shen Zhuo glanced sideways at Du Xun, who was still answering Shen Xuyin.
The alpha’s face was visibly pale.
Only Du Xun’s expression and the cold temperament around him made it easy to forget his body hadn’t recovered yet.
S5 treatment agent, never even heard of in the Research Institute.
High probability it wasn’t real.
Shen Zhuo ultimately judged it as a spam message.
But once again, that number sent a video.
The video was silent.
In the video, fluctuations of various values of that S5 agent were recorded from a computer screen at a hidden angle.
It could be clearly seen that in the column for gland trauma repair, it was more than five times higher than S4.
Perhaps the video was also faked.
But Shen Zhuo indeed stopped as the sender wished, not deleting it.
Even if there was a sliver of hope.
He wanted to strive for it.
As long as it could save Du Xun.
There might be danger, but he was willing to try.
Shen Zhuo glanced at the date on the auction invitation.
Three months later.
.
After Shen Xuyin and Jiang Yuening returned, many things in the military became easier for Du Xun.
Shen Zhuo recently, besides Ares courses, was also racking his brain to learn some finance.
But progress was slow.
So Shen Zhuo planned to find a teacher to help.
Hearing this, Ai Li said he could help contact a very young but talented teacher.
It was said that in just a few months, he could build a company into one of the top 100 in the Empire.
“Although I don’t know who that boss is, my dad has cooperation with their company, I can ask.”
The day after Ai Li said this.
He gave Shen Zhuo a definitive answer.
“You can go to his company to find him tomorrow morning, I’ll give you the address—”
So, when Shen Zhuo found that company according to the address.
Looking at the towering building in front of him, he sighed with emotion.
Reaching the top 100 in a few months.
In the business field, it was a height he couldn’t touch.
The receptionist was on a call, so Shen Zhuo waited aside for a while.
Today Du Xun specifically asked him to wear a mask and sunglasses.
No one around recognized him.
When the female omega receptionist hung up, she saw Shen Zhuo who had been waiting for a long time:
“How can I help you?”
Shen Zhuo: “I want to see your president.”
“Okay, do you have an appointment?”
Shen Zhuo looked at his phone, Ai Li didn’t mention an appointment: “No.”
The omega smiled at Shen Zhuo, very polite:
“That might not work, seeing our president requires an appointment, do you need one?”
Shen Zhuo signaled her to make a call first, then walked aside and dialed Ai Li’s number.
“Sir, it’s only eight o’clock!” Ai Li’s blurry voice carried the anger of being woken up.
Shen Zhuo: “Seeing Jingyue’s president requires an appointment, did you make one for me?”
Ai Li said “Ah?”, “Need an appointment? Let me ask my dad to call him, wait a moment.”
Just as Shen Zhuo opened his mouth, Ai Li had already hung up.
Less than ten minutes.
The receptionist immediately bowed respectfully to Shen Zhuo:
“Sorry sir, the elevator is over there, the president should be in the office now, on the 36th floor.”
In the elevator, hanging around weren’t ads or internal company slogans.
But lengthy regulations.
Every one related to various rights and interests of omegas.
Shen Zhuo had learned about this company the night he learned about Jingyue.
Famously treating omegas and alphas equally or even giving preferential treatment.
Even the management had more than half omegas.
Shen Zhuo read those regulations carefully.
Not condescending charity from an alpha’s perspective.
But truly, respecting them as omegas.
The content of the regulations was impeccable.
Elevating omegas, who were always in a vulnerable group in society, to the same height as alphas.
Just based on this, Shen Zhuo had a lot of goodwill towards Jingyue.
Following the guidance to outside the president’s office.
Shen Zhuo heard the conversation from inside the room—
“President Liang, I really didn’t mean to…”
“Didn’t mean to, blocking an omega in the pantry insisting he join your project?”
“I just think he’s capable, absolutely no other thoughts!”
“So, you think the company surveillance is just decoration?”
The young questioning was steady and sharp, every word full of oppression, piercing the heart.
“Employees reported you to me more than once, HR talked to you more than once, did you listen?”
“Little cripple, really think you’re the president?! You can’t fire me, I’m your dad—”
Before the person could finish, he was interrupted.
“Jingyue needs talented people, but it doesn’t mean unconditionally tolerating those with bad conduct. Can’t even achieve basic respect for omegas, you don’t deserve to be an alpha.”
The young voice seemed to realize he was losing his temper, voice turning cold:
“Get out yourself, say one more word, and I’ll have the whole industry blacklist you.”
“I say it, I do it.”
The door was slammed open, a middle-aged man full of anger glared at Shen Zhuo fiercely, snorted, and walked towards the elevator.
“You can come in.”
The young president’s voice came from inside, emotions adjusted, voice gentle and refined:
“Sorry you heard some ugly things, you are here to learn introduced by Mr. Ai, right?”
Shen Zhuo entered, the young president had his back to him adjusting the suit wrinkled from anger.
“Don’t know if you can learn anything here, but since you are willing to come, I will definitely teach—”
The person turned the wheelchair around, and the moment he saw Shen Zhuo take off his sunglasses.
He froze.
