43 : Cute thoughts
“What?” Shen Qing looked at the person coming down.
“I said it doesn’t matter, you can go ahead and mess with the Zhang family.”
Although the Zhang family isn’t as prosperous as before, they had laid a solid foundation during Zhang Shu’s time, enough for the Zhang family to live on for generations.
But now Song Jinming has taken over, and he’s not strong enough to handle this kind of pie. He was tricked by some people in the early years.
Now he’s just the director of Zhang’s Hospital. He was just a poor boy who went from poverty to wealth, what kind of ability could he have?
Song Shi came down from upstairs and stood in front of Chen Zhoumu. The other man turned around and looked down at the crown of Chen Zhoumu’s hair.
“Good, good. You’re all damn capable.” Shen Qing picked up the book on the table again and slowly sat down: “You can go now.”
Song Shi bent down slightly and turned around to meet his gaze. He stared at him for a long time, and the two smiled at each other.
Shen Qing slowly put down the book in front of the French window, chuckled, and then took out his phone to make a call.
The call was answered quickly: "What is it?"
Shen Qing looked at the two people who had already disappeared through the door: "You really raised a good son."
There was a pause on the other end, then a laugh: "He came to see you?"
"More than that, he even kidnapped my boy."
"Thank you."
After hanging up, Shen Qing stroked her phone. When she heard the news of Zhang Shu's death that year, she didn't believe it. How could such a woman just die like that?
She even suspected that her son, Song Shi, was fabricated or adopted, but the truth was that Song Shi really was her son.
But she still didn't believe the news of Zhang Shu's death, so she began to investigate Zhang Shu, and this investigation lasted for several years.
It wasn't until this year that she got news of her, and she knew that someone like Zhang Shu couldn't possibly die.
Beautiful, ambitious, and vicious, such a person would never disappear easily.
Everyone could become her pawn, including her own son.
She still remembered that in the capital at that time, who didn't know this only daughter of the Zhang family? Everyone was infatuated with her, and they were willing to do anything for her.
Back then, the conglomerate was like a battle of gods, with the Zhang family, not the current Shen family, at the very top of the pyramid, and the person at the very top was Zhang Shu.
After inheriting the Zhang family, Zhang Shu rapidly rose to the top within a year, transforming what was originally a mid-tier company into a force to be reckoned with in Beijing.
Shen Qing still remembered the first time she met Zhang Shu at a party hosted by the Zhang family. At that time, the Shen family was already on its last legs, and her task as the heir was to seduce Zhang Shu.
Unfortunately, she was unlucky that day; Zhang Shu, as the main character, only appeared once at the banquet. Just when Shen Qing was about to give up,
Zhang Shu approached her, and the Shen family's crisis was averted. However, no one knew how Shen Qing had managed it, nor did anyone know that the Shen family and the Zhang family had suddenly connected behind the scenes.
Even now, she still couldn't understand why someone like that would marry someone like Song Jinming. In Shen Qing's eyes, every woman involved in Song Jinming's scandalous affairs was far superior to him. She
was letting her off this time, out of respect for Zhang Shu.
She waved behind her, and someone immediately ran up. Without turning around, she said, "Pack up Xiao Mu's things and take them with you. The two of you need to take a Bombardier back to Xia City."
Song Shi and the other person had been arranged to go to Shenjia Airport while they were still on their way. It wasn't officially winter yet, but the temperature was already quite low.
They landed in Xia City at noon, and the news of their return hadn't been told to anyone else besides the two of them .
"I thought we weren't coming back. Sure enough, as long as Song Shi is involved, everything can be solved."
"Are you kidding me? Are you frozen stiff?" Song Shi threw out a couple of remarks before slinging her backpack over her shoulder and heading towards the city.
Although the other person said that, Chen Zhoumu wasn't offended at all. His mind was filled with how adorable Song Shi was.
Her face, slightly red from the wind, and a few strands of hair sticking up, her calm tone—
although it seemed no different from usual, Chen Zhoumu just found her incredibly cute.
"Wait for me!" she said, grabbing the prepared luggage from the butler and rushing towards the receding figure.
He rushed up and wrapped his arms around the other's shoulders: "It's been almost half a year already. It should snow in Guangzhou in a few days. I'll show you the snow scenery then."
"Didn't you see it yesterday?"
"That doesn't count. You have to see it with someone, not just stand there frozen like a fool in the cold wind."
"Say that again!"
"Okay, okay, I won't say it anymore. What if I really can't come back?"
"Then never come back." Song Shi glanced at him indifferently.
Feeling the other's gaze, Chen Zhoumu lowered his head to meet his eyes, his gaze involuntarily drifting to the other's lips, which were slightly pale from the cold. Then he forcefully shifted his gaze to his face.
"I'm serious."
Song Shi shook the other's hand off: "I have my own way."
If he hadn't seen Chen Zhoumu last night, he would have climbed over the wall. Although the villa was large, there was no one in the yard at the gate at that time. It would
just take some time to climb up and search room by room. He could just knock Chen Zhoumu unconscious and drag him over.
But he didn't say any of this. Fortunately, he didn't give up, and the other person happened to see him.
The two walked side by side towards the school. The person standing not far behind put away his camera and immediately sent the photos imported into his phone.
[Found it, it really is here.]
The person who received the message laughed and trembled as he looked at the message on his phone: "Hahahaha! I finally found it."
He stared intently at the photo: "Song Shi, do you think you can just gloat over what you did here just because you're far away from Yangcheng? That's ridiculous. I'll repay you a thousand times over for what happened between us."
Then he took out his phone: "Dad, let's change the location of the competition class. Let's set it in Yangcheng. It's cold in Xiacheng right now."
After the two returned to the classroom, there was another commotion. Several people formed a circle around the back of the classroom.
He Xi poked his head in from the front: "Brother Mu! You're really back!"
"It's unbelievable. I thought Aunt Shen would never budge. She even brought people to Xia City to block them."
"It was all worth praying to the gods every moment. I didn't expect it to only be two days. By the way, what method did Song Shi use to persuade Aunt Shen?"
The group hadn't chatted for long when the class bell rang. Jiang Man walked in from outside and immediately saw the two people in the back. She raised an eyebrow but didn't say anything before getting to the main topic.
"Quiet down, everyone. The notice that came out this morning is that starting tomorrow, the students who were selected to go to the winter competition class last time will have to go out to attend classes."
A buzz of chatter erupted.
"So fast? Isn't it still early?"
"I remember last year's competition class didn't start until late November! It's only late October now, almost a whole month!"
"Yeah, why the rush? By the way, how long is the competition class?"
Jiang Man slapped the table: "The timing was decided at the last minute. Although it's a bit earlier this time, it shouldn't be too stressful for the students in this competition class."
She flipped through the notice in her hand: "Also, because this year's class started earlier, after discussion, the competition class will last for three months, and students won't be able to return to their home school until January of the following year."
"Wow, three months? That long? Completely enclosed, no electronic devices allowed, three whole months without a break!"
"Tsk tsk, I can't even imagine how I'll get through it. It's two whole months longer than before! I'd go crazy!"
"But maybe these good students like this kind of learning atmosphere?"
"You like it? I certainly don't."
"Alright, no more discussion. Those of you going to the competition class tomorrow, pack your necessary items tonight and meet at the school gate at 8:00 AM tomorrow."
Jiang Man finished speaking and threw her things on the table. She didn't know who made this decision. Logically speaking, the longer the competition class lasts, the worse it is. For students in a fully enclosed competition, mindset is the most important thing.
Once inside, there are countless classes, exams, and competitions. They have to be on their toes at all times, perhaps even skipping meals and sleep to prepare for the next exam.
This is the norm for students in the winter competition class jointly organized by the three provinces, so the longer it drags on, the worse it is. The longer it goes on, the worse their confidence and mindset will be. One exam after another will break down their last line of defense.
After class, Zhang Jingxiao ran over from the front and casually pulled up a chair and sat down next to the two rows at the back.
"Do you guys know which company is investing in this competition class?"
He Xi casually asked while playing a game. "Who else could it be? It's just the same few companies as always, all invested by the rich parents of those from the neighboring No. 2 Middle School."
"Wrong! You'll never guess who the biggest investor is this time, because they're not even in Xia City."
"Then who is it? Why so mysterious? Where else could it be but Xia City? They've got their hands all over the place."
"The Zhang family!"
He Xi, engrossed in the game, glanced at the other person after hearing the answer. "What? Your family?"
Zhang Jingxiao scoffed. "Don't confuse my family with theirs. It's not my Zhang family!"
"It's the Zhang family from Yangcheng!"
Song Shi, who had been doing his homework, paused slightly upon hearing this, then put down his pen. "Yangcheng?"
"Yes! It's Yangcheng in the south, the place you transferred from, Shi-ge. I heard it from my dad. The Zhang family in Yangcheng isn't like my family. They separated from here years ago and moved from the north to the south, according to my family."
“The Zhang family branched out in the south because their business was shady, and their money was ill-gotten. They were kicked out after being discovered and fled south.”
“This time, their interference here is an attempt to provoke the main family. My dad has been dealing with these things these past few days, so I know a little bit about it.”
Guangzhou.” “Who?”
“His name is Zhang Su.”
