Chapter 384: Chapter 380: Male Green Tea

"Wow, it’s actually him! How can this person be so petty? A grown man doing such sneaky stuff behind people’s backs—serves him right!"

In the evening after work, the two went straight to the landlady and told her that the person who attacked Shen Yi in the underground garage had been caught. If they didn’t say anything, people were about to move out.

Having lots of houses makes one reckless; they can leave without packing, and by tomorrow, who knows which neighborhood they’ve moved to. So, the two rushed over after work, kind of giving the landlady a boost of confidence.

Upon hearing this, Wen Nanqing widened her eyes in disbelief and said.

Hearing this, the two were speechless. The landlady, who grew up living a life of luxury, still has a mindset not much different from ordinary people, even though her child is already in primary school.

It seems Wen’s father was right not to let her get involved in business. With this mentality, wouldn’t she be bullied to death in business?

"Sister Wen, though what Xu Feng did was really nasty, calling him petty might be a bit much. It’s understandable for someone to snap from being a big boss to a debtor overnight," Su Qing explained helplessly.

Even Shen Yi, beside her, shook her head with a smile. Her sister was indeed pure to a fault.

Over the years of running her company, she had encountered people sabotaging her, competition, suppression, and even underhanded tactics—all aimed at ruining her completely.

Some situations she could defuse on the spot with certain strategies, some she could even turn around against them, leading to their bankruptcy. But there were times she had to swallow her pride, ask for favors, gift presents, and even cooperate with those who oppressed her, a situation still unavoidable today.

Xu Feng just got on the wrong side this time, mainly because the Wen Family has more connections in Jiang City and Xu Feng’s company itself had issues, making it easier this time.

But venting anger and retaliating privately after losing in competition is a first, though it also relates to Xu Feng being pushed to the edge this time.

Under continuous high-pressure blows, it’s not surprising to see people do anything.

"Xiao Su, how can you still speak for him? Luckily, he was caught. These days, I’ve been taking taxis to send Xiaoyun to school. I didn’t even dare to go down and get the car!" The landlady patted her chest, which was even more magnificent than Shen Yi’s, and said with lingering fear.

These days really scared her. Luckily, with the big Yellow at home, wherever she goes, she takes it with her. If it weren’t for the child needing to go to school, she would have taken him to hide back in her hometown long ago.

"Alright, alright, sentiment over logic. Perhaps we should group up and go mock him at the detention center. Better hurry, or else when he’s sentenced and in prison, it’d be harder to be a spectator!" Su Qing suggested.

Upon hearing this, the landlady waved her small hand: "No need for that; why go to such a place, it’s unlucky. But I must say, our country’s police officers are really impressive—the efficiency is so high that I’m suddenly thinking about buying a house near the police station.

By the way, Xiao Su, you work at the police station, are there any nice houses nearby? Preferably large ones!"

Su Qing: ...

Suddenly, he realized that the gentle and quiet landlady had a rather flashy side.

Recently, he felt accomplished, standing up, already a millionaire, thinking that by the end of the year, he could at least make several million. If it were a bull market, even tens of millions wouldn’t be impossible.

But why does he feel so insecure when around these two? Are twenty-something millionaires not worth much anymore?

Logically, at his age, with his current savings, shouldn’t he be floating, flaunting, frequenting various high-end places, and showing off in front of peers, imagining the pleasure?

But the reality is, he doesn’t even have much time to flaunt, nor does he have anyone around to show off to.

Forget about Wang Xing—it’s embarrassing to show off in front of him. But besides him, everyone else is richer, which is quite disheartening.

As for buying a car, he could afford it, but right now, he’s driving Shen Yi’s over two-million-worth Mercedes. He doesn’t have enough for anything better, and even if he did, he wouldn’t indulge—still need to make more money, after all.

Buying a house? He doesn’t seem to have a use for it right now; not planning on getting married, so why a house? And so, even though he’s making money, he finds himself in an awkward situation of not being able to spend or show off.

"Um... that area’s a bit remote with no new developments, and honestly, I haven’t paid much attention!" Su Qing bit his back teeth to hide his jealousy.

When can I casually say something like buying a house, especially a big one? Does that even sound like something people say?

After informing the landlady, they also opportunistically had dinner at her place—after all, they’re neighbors.

Coming over without having a meal would be impolite.

Well... to be honest, they were just too lazy to cook at home, shamelessly staying without a thought of leaving, and the food was decent.

Before leaving, they brought back big Yellow. Since the danger was over, big Yellow naturally was out of a job and might as well obediently come back to work.

Back home, as expected, Shen Yi had no intention of leaving, both soaking their feet in the basin while sitting on the sofa.

"Nothing going on at the station recently?" Shen Yi asked.

"Just finished a case, so I’m taking a break for now."

"Was it the case about the body that uncle discovered?"

Su Qing nodded: "It’s been a month, and it’s finally solved!

Right, I was chatting with Old Wang today, and he said we might get a nine-day break for the October holiday?"

"Almost, why, do you have plans?" Shen Yi asked with some excitement, eyes wide open looking at him.

"Uh...no, I’m planning to play dead at home!"

"How lame, I was thinking of asking you to take me out for a walk. I’ve been in Jiang City for over half a year and haven’t really gone around."

𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

"I’ve lived here for over twenty years and haven’t gone around either!"

Shen Yi: ...

"The foot bath water’s cold, add some hot water for me!"

"I... just a moment." Seeing Shen Yi about to become the boss again, he decisively chose to relent instantaneously.

The next day, just past 9 a.m., Su Qing drove the car, bringing along Da Huang and Shen Yi to the company. Shen Yi had a meeting today, plus a client to entertain, so she came early.

As soon as Da Huang entered, it started its usual routine of running around, searching for stockings. Now that the weather was gradually cooling down, soon stockings might be hard to come by, so it planned to lick a few more pairs.

When the two pushed open the office door, they immediately noticed a ragdoll cat sprawled on Shen Yi’s desk.

With its snow-white fur, very elegant and clean, the key point was that this cat had odd-colored eyes, two different colors, making it quite a looker.

"Hey? Where did this cat come from?" Shen Yi asked in confusion.

As for Su Qing, the moment he saw the cat, he flicked a glance behind him with his peripheral vision. As expected, he noticed a touch of excitement in Bai Hao’s eyes, who was seated opposite Feng Yan, and instantly knew what was up.

Shen Yi’s voice wasn’t loud, but the office was pretty quiet anyway, and it drew everyone’s attention.

"Sorry, President Shen, this is my cat. I couldn’t find it just now. Didn’t realize it ran into your office, sorry, President Shen!" Bai Hao stood up, looking a bit flustered and embarrassed.

Upon hearing this, Feng Yan looked up at him. The two shared a knowing smile, mutually understanding.

"I see, then please take it out." Shen Yi’s intelligent voice came, saying lightly.

Saying that, she and Su Qing walked straight in, Bai Hao heard and followed suit, a barely noticeable hint of disappointment in his eyes.

That’s right, the cat was intentionally let in by him. Today, he got up early, was the first to arrive, and while no one was around, let his cat in.

He assumed that his cat’s divine beauty would surely captivate President Shen, but he didn’t see that expression on Shen Yi’s face.

However, it wasn’t all bad news; at least President Shen didn’t question him on why he brought a cat to work, which meant she didn’t object.

Bai Hao walked into the office, picked up his cat, nodded with some guilt, and then left.

"Why are these young folks nowadays so unruly, bringing pets to work? You should find a time to talk to Feng Yan about this issue." Watching him close the door, Shen Yi said lightly while sitting in her chair.

She didn’t take it seriously at all. Moreover, Bai Hao didn’t know that when the big boss discovered employee issues, they usually didn’t address it directly but rather through so-called leaders.

This principle is something almost every seasoned employee understands, yet Bai Hao naively remains delighted.

Of course, if it weren’t for the narrations, Su Qing wouldn’t comprehend such workplace tactics either, as he is also a novice.

"What, didn’t you find that cat beautiful?" Su Qing asked with a smile.

"The cat’s fine, not so sure about the person." Shen Yi smiled, shaking her head.

Su Qing was stunned: "What do you mean?"

"Just now, the way he looked at me was off. I don’t dislike these cats and dogs, but I don’t particularly like them either, mainly because I don’t have the energy to care for them. The point is, though the office door wasn’t locked, it was closed. How did the cat get in? You didn’t think about that?"

With that said, Shen Yi gave him a playful glance.

[As for the scheming among employees, Shen Yi, as the boss, couldn’t be clearer. However, she wouldn’t mind, rather she would foster it intentionally.]

[Regarding the previous matter, although she couldn’t pinpoint what Bai Hao was up to, she did sense an unusual glint in his eyes when he looked at her, which made her a bit suspicious.]

Upon hearing the inner narration’s hint, Su Qing couldn’t help but widen his eyes.

Is this really happening?

A boss doesn’t have to be shrewd, but no successful boss is a fool. There’s something to that saying.

"What a sly woman!"

Shen Yi: "Sly? You mean me?"
