Chapter 4: After Becoming the CEO’s Sickly White Moonlight 4
The sound of running water in the washroom was continuous. Jiang Chen rinsed the water on his hands, his face so gloomy it was almost dripping water.
Jiang Chen was originally bound to win that piece of land in the east of the city. That piece of land was too remote, and very few people noticed it. Even if they did, they wouldn’t know what use that piece of land had.
Who knew Qu Shenyi, this Cheng Yaojin, would suddenly charge out halfway.
He really couldn’t understand why Qu Shenyi, a game developer, was competing with him for that piece of land. Did he have too much money to burn?
“Oh, President Jiang, you are here.”
Qu Shenyi’s cynical voice sounded by his ear. Jiang Chen turned his head to look; Qu Shenyi was leaning against the outside of the restroom door, looking at him with a smiling face.
Qu Shenyi: “President Jiang wouldn’t be hiding from the drinks in the restroom because you can’t drink anymore, right? I thought a figure like President Jiang wouldn’t do such a thing.”
Saying this, Qu Shenyi feigned surprise and covered his mouth, looking artificially pretentious and punchable no matter how you looked at it.
Jiang Chen’s face thoroughly blackened: “Since President Qu is so concerned about whether I can drink all the alcohol at this table or not, you might as well worry about whether you can swallow that piece of land in the east of the city.”
“It’s just a piece of land. If President Jiang can swallow it, of course I can too.”
Qu Shenyi shrugged, smiling casually without a care. His narrow eyes carried a smile, his gaze lingering on Jiang Chen like a hook.
Jiang Chen shook the water off his hands, walked up to Qu Shenyi, and said, “President Qu, excuse me.”
Qu Shenyi’s height was about the same as Jiang Chen’s. Being closer, Jiang Chen could see Qu Shenyi’s facial expression even more clearly.
That sort of playful and disdainful expression clung to him like maggots on bones, making Jiang Chen feel an indescribable nausea.
Finally, Qu Shenyi calmly took a step back, letting Jiang Chen walk out first.
Qu Shenyi watched Jiang Chen’s back. After a long time, he took a cigarette from his pocket and held it in his mouth.
He smoked the cigarette at an unhurried pace. By the time Qu Shenyi returned, Cui Feixu was pacing in circles outside the private booth door.
Seeing Qu Shenyi’s unbothered look, Cui Feixu’s head swelled: “Why did you only come back now? If you don’t come back soon, we won’t get that piece of land.”
“Who said I wanted that piece of land?” Qu Shenyi raised his hand to glance at his watch, sounding puzzled upon hearing this.
Cui Feixu: “…?” No, then what did you come to drink for today?
In a good mood, Qu Shenyi lowered his hand: “Let’s go, I reckon they’ve about finished talking, there’s no business for us here anymore.”
Cui Feixu: “…”
He turned around, went back into the private booth, took out his suit jacket, and trotted to keep up with Qu Shenyi’s pace.
“Old Qu, just tell me, what bad ideas are you harboring in your stomach… Old Qu?”
“Driving up the price of pigs.”
Qu Shenyi pressed the elevator button. The moment before the elevator doors closed, he saw Jiang Chen walk out from the private booth.
Jiang Chen seemed to feel the gaze and looked toward Qu Shenyi’s direction, only to see the already closed elevator doors.
[How did you know Qu Shenyi would be at the same drinking engagement as Jiang Chen today?]
The system flipped through the plot progress, secretly clicking its tongue.
Was there a detailed account of such a segment in the original plot?
“After acquiring that piece of land in the east of the city, Jiang Chen couldn’t wait to build a tourist resort and created the brand ‘Tiancheng Yizi’.”
Tiancheng Yizi. In the original text, this was the inner-city resort Jiang Chen built holding onto the childhood dream of washing hands and making soup in the countryside with his white moonlight.
Jiang Chen was too anxious to list this brand on the market, but unexpectedly, Qu Shenyi ended up becoming the largest shareholder and seizing the right to speak.
Pei Yu picked up the coffee on the desk, took a sip, and said, [This is also his first time officially clashing with Qu Shenyi, the time he lost the most miserably in the entire text.]
System: […Oh my.]
After all, it was a physically and mentally abusive dog-blood plot, abusing both the body and mind of the protagonist shou. This degree of abusing the protagonist gong was probably already considered very abusive in the author’s eyes.
Pei Yu didn’t have much work on his hands; the miscellaneous tasks had no relation to any serious projects.
In the original text, although Pei Yu returned to the Pei family as an invalid, the father and son duo, Pei Zhisheng and Pei Liang, felt he posed no threat, so the company’s main projects would still assign a portion for Pei Yu to be responsible for.
After all, they still had to put on an act in front of Old Master Pei. Anyway, he was just an invalid and wouldn’t snatch away the company’s benefits.
System: [It seems you aren’t acting much like a frail white lotus.]
The system’s voice carried a hint of schadenfreude.
Pei Yu finished reading the last document, stacked all the documents together, and upon hearing this, said, “They will give me a stage to continue my performance.”
System: [Ah?]
Facts proved that Pei Yu thought very correctly. Three days after Pei Yu had been freeloading at the company and getting paid for doing nothing, Pei Liang stopped him when Pei Yu went to deliver documents to him.
“Little Yu, do you have time after work today?”
“Yes.”
Pei Liang sized up Pei Yu and smiled, “You haven’t really gone out to play since you came back, have you? Today, your brother will take you out to see the world.”
See the world?
What kind of world?
A cold light imperceptibly flashed across Pei Yu’s eyes. Then he pursed his lips slightly and said, “But I’m not really familiar with your friends…”
“Don’t worry, they are all very easy to talk to.”
Pei Liang’s gaze wrapped around Pei Yu like a venomous snake.
The heating in the company was turned up high, and the white shirt Pei Yu wore made his waist look even narrower and his legs longer. Although Pei Liang didn’t usually play with men, he had to admit that Pei Yu indeed had a face that even men would find good-looking.
This kind of good looks made people feel that whether he was the one on top or the one on the bottom, it would be damn exciting.
When Pei Liang led Pei Yu into the bar, the system secretly lit a stick of incense for him.
How nice, he didn’t even have to do it himself, the stage was already set up for him.
Pei Yu curled his lips into a deep smile, [I won. The golden blind box in the mall belongs to me.]
System: […]
System: [Giving it to you, giving it to you, giving it to you!]
It hurt so much that the system’s non-existent heart almost went into cardiac arrest.
“Cough cough cough…” Covering his lips, Pei Yu coughed until his pale cheeks were dyed with a flush.
Seeing this, Pei Liang went over and patted his back a few times, asking with a concerned tone, “Are you unwell? Didn’t take your medicine today?”
“I drank it, don’t worry, Brother, I’m fine.”
Pei Yu didn’t miss the malice that flashed through Pei Liang’s eyes.
Pei Liang was a playboy who only knew how to have fun, and in the matter of playing around, he had developed it to the extreme.
He was a regular at this bar, smoothly leading Pei Yu unimpeded to a private booth on the second floor.
Pei Yu unhurriedly followed behind Pei Liang, still having the mood to fake a few coughs.
System: […]
Faking it so poorly, only a dumbass like Pei Liang wouldn’t be able to tell.
“Brother Pei! Over here!”
A fatty with dyed yellow hair called out to Pei Liang. The fatty had a large gold necklace hanging around his neck, and the rings on his fingers were inlaid with various colored gems, fearing that others wouldn’t be able to tell he was a nouveau riche.
Enduring his disgust, Pei Liang chuckled and said, “Monkey, let’s go.”
Pei Yu: “…” This body size is called Monkey? Calling him Gorilla would be more like it.
When Monkey saw Pei Yu behind Pei Liang, and Pei Yu revealed a faint smile, he froze entirely in place, falling just short of drooling to show his emotions.
“Ah? Ah, oh oh! Let’s go, the brothers are inside.”
Monkey wiped his mouth twice, staring at Pei Yu and said: “You must be Brother Pei’s younger brother, right? Don’t worry, today the brothers will definitely take you to play to your heart’s content!”
Pei Yu appropriately showed a frail smile: “Thank you.”
This appearance of a sickly white lotus directly fascinated Monkey, this closeted gay, to the point he forgot his bearings.
It was only when Pei Liang secretly pinched his waist that he snapped back to his senses.
System: [Yo yo yo, still taking you out to play to your heart’s content, clearly they want to play with you to their heart’s content.]
Pei Yu smiled deeply, [I think that’s quite nice.]
System: [Vomit.]
