Chapter 21

Standing outside the show all night, Shen Yansheng was really tired. After reconciling with Lu Jingce, she lay down on the back seat to rest, resting her head on Lu Jingce’s lap.

Lu Jingce held her with one hand and stroked her cheek with the other, looking at her and asking, “Who asked you to welcome the guests outside tonight?”

Shen Yansheng didn’t want Lu Jingce to take care of her work, and said, “That’s how work is. It’s normal to go wherever there is a shortage of people.”

“Really?” Lu Jingce’s expression was indifferent, and he didn’t believe a word.

But Shen Yansheng didn’t say anything, and he didn’t ask anymore. When the car was approaching the community, he raised his head and said to Uncle Chen, who was driving in the front row, “Stop at the pharmacy in front.”

Shen Yansheng looked up at Lu Jingce and asked curiously, “Why are you going to the pharmacy?”

Lu Jingce said, “Can’t you handle the injury on your foot?”

The car drove to the door of the pharmacy, Lu Jingce got out of the car and went to buy medicine. Shen Yansheng leaned against the edge of the car window, looking at Lu Jingce’s tall and straight back, his heart gradually fell.

When he got home, Lu Jingce directly carried Shen Yansheng upstairs. When he returned to the bedroom, he didn’t put her on the bed, but carried her directly into the bathroom.

Put her on the stool beside the bathtub, then remove the shower, adjust the water temperature, squat down in front of her, hold the shower in one hand to help her flush, and gently wash her feet with the other, touching her toes The blisters on the top of his face, his brows furrowed again, and he asked, “Does it hurt?”

Shen Yansheng shook his head, looked at Lu Jingce, and said softly, “It’s okay.”

Lu Jingce washed her feet, took a towel to dry her, and then carried her back to the bed.

He sat down beside the bed, pulled one of her feet up on her lap, and then took apart the ointment he just bought. “It’s best not to go out in the last few days. The blisters are broken and it will hurt.”

Shen Yansheng said: “It’s not that serious, I just don’t wear high heels. Besides, I have to go to work.”

When it came to going to work, Lu Jingce couldn’t help but sneered and said, “This is a broken job, when are you going to do it?”

Shen Yansheng also paused after hearing the words. In fact, she didn’t know what was the point of continuing to stay in the company. Zhang Siqi would not make her feel better, and she would not give her a chance to make her stand out.

She continued to stay, and there was no point in wasting her time.

But now the problem is that she needs this salary very much.

She fell into silence. Lu Jingce seemed to know what she was thinking, and while rubbing the medicine on her, he said, “I didn’t say that before, I will invest in you and make your own brand.”

“No.” Shen Yansheng refused without even thinking about it. She really didn’t want to rely on Lu Jingce for her career.

Lu Jingce rubbed the medicine for her, screwed the medicine cap on, and threw it on the bedside table. Then he looked up at her and said, “If you are starting your own business, you have to go out and get investment. Whoever you are looking for is not an investment, you can’t just look for me?”

Shen Yansheng retracted her feet, covered the quilt and lay on the bed, “I won’t look for you anyway.”

She closed her eyes and pretended to be an ostrich, and said, “You let me think about it myself.”

Lu Jingce sat by the bed and looked at her. He couldn’t help laughing when he saw it. He reached out and squeezed her cheek, and said, “Go to sleep, and tell me when you think about it.”

Shen Yansheng thought about it all night, but actually didn’t come up with any results. The next morning, she went to work as usual. She really didn’t dare to resign rashly without thinking about what to do next.

During breakfast, when Lu Jingce heard her say she was going to go back to work, his face became a little ugly, and he said, “What are you going to do when you go back? Set up the venue or welcome guests?”

Shen Yansheng knew that Lu Jingce cared about her, so she was not unhappy. She spread butter on the toast and said, “Even if I want to quit my job, it can’t be so fast, I have to find the next job first, otherwise I will not be safe. sense.”

Lu Jingce frowned at her and asked, “I didn’t give you a sense of security?”

Shen Yansheng said, “That’s different.”

She put the buttered toast on Lu Jingce’s plate, then looked up at him seriously, and said, “I don’t want to depend on you for everything, do you understand?”

Lu Jingce looked at Shen Yansheng silently.

From his point of view, of course he didn’t want Shen Yansheng to go back to that lousy job, but she insisted that he couldn’t keep her at home.

After breakfast, Shen Yansheng originally wanted Uncle Chen to take her to the company, but Lu Jingce rarely went to the company this morning, so he put Uncle Chen on leave and drove Shen Yansheng in person.

Arriving downstairs in the company, Lu Jingce stopped the car, looked at Shen Yansheng, and asked again, “Are you sure you want to go up?”

Shen Yansheng nodded and said, “Of course, even if I want to resign, I will wait until I find a new job.”

Lu Jingce was somewhat uneasy, stared at Shen Yansheng for a while, then raised his hand to squeeze her cheek and said, “Call me if you have something to do, don’t do it if you don’t want to, it’s not that you don’t have money to spend.”

Shen Yansheng smiled, leaned over and kissed Lu Jingce on the face, and said, “Got it.”

She unbuckled her seat belt and got out of the car, and walked around the front of the car to head towards the company building. Lu Jingce lowered the car window behind her and called her, “Shen Yansheng.”

Shen Yansheng turned around and saw Lu Jingce with a bright smile and asked, “What’s wrong?”

Lu Jingce: “Be careful, call Uncle Chen before get off work in the afternoon and ask him to come pick you up.”

Shen Yansheng smiled and nodded, and said, “Got it.”

After entering the company building, Shen Yansheng took the elevator straight to the design department on the 16th floor.

Her workstation is at a window in the hall, so when she got out of the elevator, she could see someone picking up the things in her seat at a glance.

She couldn’t help frowning, walked over and asked, “What are you doing?”

The person who was collecting her things with the cardboard box was Zhang Siqi’s assistant. Seeing that Shen Yansheng was also a little embarrassed, she said, “The director asked to collect it.”

Everyone in the design department knew that Shen Yansheng and Zhang Siqi were at odds, and that Zhang Siqi suppressed Shen Yansheng in private and refused to give her a chance to stand out.

But everyone knows what it is, they are all part-time workers, and who dares to chew the tongue of the leaders behind their backs. Seeing Shen Yansheng’s face turning cold at this moment, everyone couldn’t help but quietly raised their heads from their workstations to watch.

Shen Yansheng admitted that she had endured Zhang Siqi for a long time in order to make a living. But at this moment, she suddenly felt that there was no need to endure any longer.

She stared coldly at Zhang Siqi’s assistant and warned her, “Don’t touch my things again.”

After speaking, he turned around and strode towards Zhang Siqi’s office.

As soon as Shen Yansheng left, the office hall became noisy for a moment, everyone whispered and looked in the direction of Zhang Siqi’s office.

In the office, Shen Yansheng looked at Zhang Siqi coldly, “What do you mean?”

Zhang Siqi sat on the office chair, looked at Shen Yansheng, and said, “Where did you go last night? Have you finished the work I gave you? Leave your post without authorization during work. Is this reason enough to fire you?”

Shen Yansheng stared at Zhang Siqi for a while, then she suddenly felt that this person was pitiful, and said, “Zhang Siqi, what happened five or six years ago, you are still brooding, don’t you think you are pitiful? ”

“Besides, yesterday wasn’t my working time. The entire design department was on vacation. I’ve been very patient with you when I went to help you welcome the guests. You are firing me for this reason, and you dare to say that you are not avenging private revenge?”

Zhang Siqi smiled and rubbed the nail polish on her fingers. She looked at Shen Yansheng with a triumphant triumph in her eyes, and said, “You’re right, I’m just avenging my personal revenge. If you want to blame it, blame yourself for not having that life. Do you think I will make you feel better if you are a daughter of a lifetime and fall into my hands?”

Since losing to Shen Yansheng in the competition six years ago, she lost her chance to protect her research. Over the years, Zhang Siqi has always hated Shen Yansheng to the bone. Now that Fengshui has turned, Shen Yansheng has fallen into her hands. She has not tortured her to death.

She looked at Shen Yansheng with a smile on her lips, and said, “Of course, if you are willing to kneel down and beg me, I can also open the door and let you continue to stay in the company.”

Shen Yansheng sneered, took out her work card from her bag and threw it on Zhang Siqi’s desk, saying, “Being in the same company with a person like you really tarnishes my personality.”

Lu Jingce had a project to discuss in the evening, so he couldn’t pick up Shen Yansheng from get off work in the afternoon. But around six o’clock, he made a phone call. He wanted to ask if Shen Yansheng was off work, but Shen Yansheng smiled and said, “I’m at home now.”

Lu Jingce raised his eyebrows, somewhat surprised, “Get off work so early?”

Shen Yansheng smiled and said, “I’ll tell you when you come back tonight.”

At nine o’clock in the evening, Lu Jingce went home after talking about the project. As soon as he entered the house, he saw Shen Yansheng sitting on the carpet in front of the coffee table, with his legs crossed, using the computer.

He changed his shoes and went into the house, asking, “Why did you get off work so early today?”

Shen Yansheng looked at Lu Jingce and said with a smile, “I resigned.”

Hearing this, Lu Jingce couldn’t help but froze for a moment. Looking at Shen Yansheng, his eyes couldn’t help deepening a little, and asked, “You resigned yourself?”

Shen Yansheng smiled and nodded, and said, “Didn’t you tell me not to do it there?”

Lu Jingce handed the coat in his hand to Aunt Ping to wash, then walked to the sofa and sat down.

Shen Yansheng picked up the laptop and approached Lu Jingce, and said, “I’m looking for a new job. The treatment in this company is okay, but it’s a little far from home.”

Lu Jingce took a look at the computer, briefly glanced at the information, then frowned, and said, “The company is too small, you don’t need to go to that kind of place to bury it, and it’s too far from home, you commute back and forth on the road more than two times a day. Hours.”

Shen Yansheng gave an “um” and said, “I also think it’s a little far away.”

Lu Jingce put the laptop back on the coffee table, he took Shen Yansheng’s hand, looked at her and asked, “Didn’t you say during the day that you have to wait until you find a job before quitting?”

Shen Yansheng smiled and said, “Then I suddenly figured it out, so I quit.”

Lu Jingce stared at Shen Yansheng for a while, and finally didn’t ask any more questions. He just raised his hand and rubbed her head, saying, “After resigning, take a good rest for a while, don’t rush to find a job.”

Shen Yansheng gave a dull “um” and said, “Got it.”

She wanted to find a new job immediately tomorrow, but it’s not that easy to find a suitable job outside now.

She was somewhat tired, but she didn’t want Lu Jingce to see it, so she asked him with a smile, “Have you eaten dinner yet?”

Lu Jingce nodded and said, “I have eaten. How about you?”

“I ate it too.” Shen Yansheng said with a smile, “Aunt Ping stewed braised beef brisket, and I ate a lot.”

That night, after Shen Yansheng fell asleep, Lu Jingce came downstairs, called Aunt Ping over, and asked her, “What time did Sheng Sheng come back today?”

“It’s after ten o’clock in the morning.” Aunt Ping thought of how Shen Yansheng looked when she came back in the morning with a cardboard box, and couldn’t help but say, “When Miss Shengsheng came back in the morning, her eyes were red, as if she had cried.”

When Lu Jingce heard Aunt Ping say that Shen Yansheng came back after ten o’clock in the morning, he probably knew what was going on.

He sent Shen Yansheng to work at 9:00 in the morning. When he was at home, he clearly said that he would resign after finding a new job.

His eyes became cold, and he said to Aunt Ping, “I see, you can go down and rest.”

“Hey.” Aunt Ping responded, and didn’t dare to ask any more questions, she turned and went to the backyard to rest.

On the third day after Shen Yansheng was fired by Zhang Siqi, in the afternoon, she was holding a computer in the living room to scan the recruitment software.

The phone on the coffee table suddenly rang, and she glanced at it, and saw that the information displayed on the screen was a colleague from the company who was familiar with her.

She was a little surprised. She picked up the phone and opened it, and saw the WeChat message sent by her colleague.

“Shengsheng, did you know that Zhang Siqi was fired from the company. And the company also found out that she took advantage of her position to receive kickbacks when purchasing fabrics in large quantities, and she was rich in her own pockets. Now the company is going to sue her.”

Shen Yansheng stared at the message sent by her colleague for a long time, and couldn’t help but ask, “When did it happen?”

The colleague replied, “In the past two days, she knew that the company was going to sue her this afternoon, so she went to the boss to plead, but the boss didn’t see her.”

Shen Yansheng felt a little strange, “Isn’t she the boss’ confidant?”

Colleague: “Who knows. The boss refused to see her, and directly asked the colleagues in the legal department to go through legal procedures.”

When Lu Jingce came home at night, Shen Yansheng hadn’t slept yet, she was lying on the bed tossing and turning, tossing and turning.

Seeing Lu Jingce coming back, he immediately sat up from the bed.

Lu Jingce was entertaining tonight. When he entered the room, he saw that Shen Yansheng was still awake. He laughed and teased her, “Still still? Wait for me?”

He reached out and closed the door, put the coat in his hand on the armrest of the sofa, walked to the bed and sat down, wrapped his arms around Shen Yansheng’s waist, and lowered his head to kiss her lips for a while.

Shen Yansheng was kissed enough by Lu Jingce before asking, “Did you do the thing about Zhang Siqi’s dismissal from the company?”

Lu Jingce didn’t deny it, and said, “That person has a problem, I just sent some information to her boss.”

Shen Yansheng looked at Lu Jingce and couldn’t help but ask, “Will she really go to jail?”

Lu Jingce said: “She has made a lot of money in her own pockets over the years. If her boss refuses to let her go, she will have to go in and squat for a few years.”

“Lu Jingce—”

“Sheng Sheng.” Lu Jingce seemed to know what she was going to say, so he interrupted her and said, “That person violated the law by himself, and it has nothing to do with you. You don’t have to take it on yourself.”

“But…”

Lu Jingce raised his hand and rubbed Shen Yansheng’s face, and said, “Okay, it’s getting late, hurry up and go to bed.”

He said, took off the watch on his wrist, threw it on the bedside table, followed by unbuttoning the cuffs of his shirt, seeing Shen Yansheng still looking at him, teasing her with a smile, “What? Want to take a bath with me?”

Shen Yansheng couldn’t help blushing a little when she heard this, and said, “Who wants to wash with you.”

As he spoke, he lay back in bed and pulled the quilt to cover himself.

That night, Shen Yansheng lay in bed with a little insomnia, always thinking about Zhang Siqi. It wasn’t until it was almost dawn that he barely fell asleep.

Because I slept late, when I woke up the next day, it was already three poles in the sun.

She went to the bathroom to wash up and went downstairs in her nightgown to go to lunch.

Who knew that when he walked to the stairwell, he accidentally saw Zhang Siqi standing in the living room.

Lu Jingce sat on the sofa and looked at the computer files, without giving Zhang Siqi half a glance from beginning to end.

Shen Yansheng couldn’t help but stop and saw Zhang Siqi was stepping on a pair of ten centimeter high heels. When Zhang Siqi looked up at her, there were tears in her eyes.

Shen Yansheng and Zhang Siqi have been together for more than half a year, when is she not arrogant and her eyes are on the top of her head. It was the first time she had seen her like this.

After being stunned for a moment, Shen Yansheng finally came to his senses, came down from the upstairs, looked at Zhang Siqi, wanted to ask her why she came here, but before she opened her mouth, Lu Jingce closed the computer and got up, took her to the restaurant, and said, “Are you hungry? Aunt Ping made your favorite steamed pork ribs today.”

Shen Yansheng subconsciously looked back at Zhang Siqi who was still standing in the living room, her eyes were red, as if she was about to cry in the next second.

When they got to the restaurant, Shen Yansheng asked Lu Jingce, “Why is she here? When did she come?”

Lu Jingce took a bowl and poured soup for Shen Yansheng, and said, “Don’t pay attention to her.”

Shen Yansheng didn’t think she was too soft-hearted. In the past few months, Zhang Siqi had done more to her than this.

Aside from letting her run errands and do errands in a different way, the most extreme thing is to suppress Shen Yansheng and not give her the slightest chance to develop.

A while ago, Shen Yansheng spent two months designing a piece of work that she had exhausted and spent two months designing. She was full of confidence that it would definitely become a blockbuster piece in the show. When she handed it over to Zhang Siqi, she gave her one vote to reject it. Yes, I chose another work that was 108,000 miles away from her as the main push.

To say whether Shen Yansheng hates Zhang Siqi or not, she doesn’t think it can be said, but occasionally she finds this person disgusting to the point of disgust. With such a deep hatred, she is not worthy of it.

But even if she hated her, it wasn’t as bad as sending her to jail.

After eating, Shen Yansheng went to the living room.

When Zhang Siqi saw Shen Yansheng come out alone, she walked towards her with trembling legs, and when she came to Shen Yansheng, she knelt down for her with a thud, she looked up at her and prayed, “Shen Yansheng, even if I am wrong, please let me go. It’s because I have eyes and don’t know Mount Tai, I shouldn’t be against you. Please let me go, can you let me go?”

Shen Yansheng looked at her, frowned unconsciously, and said, “You broke the law, what does it have to do with me. You should go and ask President Zhang to let him let you go.”

Zhang Siqi shook his head while crying and said, “You know my relationship with President Zhang. Even if I do get a kickback, he won’t be so heartless to send me to prison. It’s President Zhang who told me to ask you to come.”

She knelt down and grabbed the hem of Shen Yansheng’s nightgown and said, “Shen Yansheng, I beg you, can you tell your boyfriend? As long as he is willing to let go, I will be fine. I swear, from now on , I will never oppose you again. After this matter is over, I will leave here and never appear in front of you again.”

“I beg you Shen Yansheng, I really don’t want to go to jail.”

Shen Yansheng didn’t speak, she pulled Zhang Siqi’s hand away from her skirt in disgust, turned around and went back to the restaurant.

Lu Jingce didn’t eat anymore, leaned back on the chair and sat at the dining table smoking a cigarette.

Seeing Shen Yansheng coming over, he smashed the half of the cigarette **** left in his hand into the saucer.

Shen Yansheng walked up to Lu Jingce, looked at him seriously, and said, “Lu Jingce, forget it.”

Lu Jingce wrapped one hand around Shen Yansheng’s waist, brought her to sit on his lap, looked at her, and said, “Have you ever heard the saying that sometimes being soft to others is cruel to yourself.”

“It’s not that serious.” Shen Yansheng also looked at Lu Jingce seriously, and said, “Although I really hate her, she didn’t actually cause me any substantial harm. Although she violated the commercial law, President Zhang did not. To pursue her, I don’t need to be this villain.”

Lu Jingce looked at her and asked, “Are you sure?”

Shen Yansheng nodded and said, “I don’t want to feel any guilt for this kind of person, anyway, I’m no longer in the company, and I won’t have anything to do with her in the future, out of sight and out of mind, there’s no need to spend time and energy. waste it on her.”

Lu Jingce touched Shen Yansheng’s cheek, and said lightly, “If you don’t want to pursue it, it’s all up to you.”

Only then did Shen Yansheng smile, wrap her arms around Lu Jingce’s neck, lower her head and kiss him on the lips, and said, “Then I’ll let her go.”

After speaking, he got up from Lu Jingce’s lap and walked back to the living room.

Zhang Siqi stood in the living room with a pale face, and when she saw Shen Yansheng coming out, she hurried forward to meet her, “Shen Yansheng—”

Shen Yansheng really didn’t want to say a word to her, and didn’t want to see her again. She looked at her coldly and said, “Go away, as long as Mr. Zhang doesn’t pursue you, I’m not interested in taking care of your troubles.”

Hearing this, Zhang Siqi suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. It’s not that she is not jealous of Shen Yansheng, she is obviously no longer Miss Qianjin, and her ex-boyfriend doesn’t want her anymore, yet she can still be with a more powerful man, and this man is quite young and handsome.

But no matter how jealous she was in her heart and how much she hated Shen Yansheng, she didn’t dare to oppose her now. After all, the boyfriend that Shen Yansheng was looking for, even President Zhang wanted to sell his face.

She put away the hatred in her heart and said to Shen Yansheng, “Thank you.”

She turned around to leave, but Shen Yansheng suddenly said: “Zhang Siqi, I won the competition six years ago, and you went back to school to spread rumors and I bought the prize, which caused me to be isolated by my classmates for a while, I will not care about you about this matter, I hope you Do it yourself in the future, don’t trouble me again.”

Zhang Siqi bit her lip and responded with her back to Shen Yansheng, “Got it.”

She stood on ten centimeter high heels for more than two hours, and when she walked out, her legs were shaking.

In my mind, I suddenly remembered that when I went to find President Zhang last night, President Zhang said to her with a cold face: “It’s not good for you to offend anyone, but offend Lu Jingce’s woman. Don’t say I didn’t save you, even if I saw Lu Jingce You have to nod and bow down to please. Lu Jingce said, no one is allowed to protect you. If you want to be fine now, go ask Shen Yansheng, only she can save you.”
