Chapter 671: 420 Everlasting Tyrannical President Schemes, Observation and Study Video (2 Updates)_2
"You wouldnât be unaware that someone was filming, right?" Jiang Chengsi laughed, "After watching the video, could you help me analyze and study what level my brother is at, and if a real fight broke out, what are my odds of winning?"
"Okay." Huo Qinqi nodded.
Jiang Yanting was direct and stern by nature, and everything he did was done with his own considerations and thoughts, recalling that dayâs strange phone call.
Originally at the wedding...
There was full coverage video recording.
Jiang Chengsi wasnât one to fuss over details. Huo Qinqi agreed to teach him some boxing skills. As for the issue with the cat, it wasnât pursued further. However, learning the techniques of boxing was never easy. In some matters, Huo Qinqi was nearly harsh, allowing no room for him to slack or be lazy.
Practicing boxing, it was normal to bump and get hurt.
Thus, when Jiang Chengsi returned home, he had a sore back and a bruise on his cheek by accident.
When Jiang Shiyi got off work and arrived home, he saw him lying on the sofa, whining, "Were you mobbed?"
"..."

Meanwhile, at the hospital, the elderly lady had finished her checkup and would be able to be discharged once the report came out tomorrow. She was still accompanied by Elder Mr. Shen and Shen Shuci that evening.
However, the day after the elderly lady was discharged, Shen Shuci had to meet with clients. After packing up the old ladyâs belongings, it was Tang Wan and Jiang Jinsang who drove them back to the hotel to rest.
"Thank you for your troubles." Shen Shuci was very keen on this project, as if it succeeded, there would likely be no issues with becoming permanent.
"Donât be so formal with me, just focus on your work. If the talks go well, donât forget to invite me for a meal," Tang Wan said smilingly.
"Definitely."
Shen Shuci prepared thoroughly, carrying all the documents and even went home to change into decent clothes and put on light makeup before heading to the venue agreed upon with the client.
A private club in the suburbs, very secluded, the interior was perfumed with a cold fragrance and had a Japanese-style design: dark long tables and flax-colored cushions. Shen Shuci, wanting to show sincerity, arrived very early.
Just after sitting down, a waiter came over with a hot towel for her to clean her hands and diligently served tea and water.
After waiting for about half an hour, noises came from outside, followed by the sound of the door opening. Shen Shuci quickly stood up, "President Huang..."
But as soon as she spoke, she saw the persons behind him, her pupils shrinking.
"Xiaoshen, let me introduce you, this is Liang Wenzhong from the Liang Group, President Liang."
"President Liang, hello." Shen Shuci took a deep breath, guessing why this company specifically requested her to handle this project.
It must be that he wanted to contact her, using someone elseâs name.
After the three of them entered, Shen Shuci professionally introduced various aspects of the project. However, President Huang didnât wait for her to finish and excused himself to the restroom leaving the two alone.
The man, dressed in a black suit without a tie, held a teacup, exuding the calm stability of a successful person, "We havenât seen each other for many years, have we?"
"Yes," Shen Shuci nodded, her expression cool.
Liang Wenzhong didnât seem to mind and with a smile pulled a box from his pocket, pushed it towards her, opening it to reveal a diamond necklace. Even if Shen Shuci wasnât an expert, she could tell the necklace was extremely valuable.
"How about it? Do you like it?" Liang Wenzhong smiled pleasingly, like a kind-hearted elder.
"Please speak your mind directly."
Shen Shuciâs tone was slightly cold, forming a stark contrast to his warmth.
"We havenât seen each other for so many years, your personality has changed a lot. You used to be very sweet, happy with just a bit of candy. I remember I bought you a bow hair clip, you treasured it and never wanted to wear it. I didnât expect that after coming to Beijing, you never contacted me. Are you still holding a grudge about what happened back then?"
"I know there were some misunderstandings in the past, our family wronged you. We didnât dare to approach you directly, knowing you were still on probation, so I specifically found an old friend to give you a hand."
"I spent a long time choosing this necklace. Take it out and see, it should suit you very well."
Shen Shuci looked at the necklace, merely smiling, "Is it the Shen Family?"
Liang Wenzhong was startled and seemed unable to grasp the implication of her words.
"Is it still the Tang Family?" Shen Shuci looked at him seriously, "Or should I say..."
"Youâre targeting the Jiang Family?"
"What do you mean by that!" Liang Wenzhong frowned, showing slight displeasure.
"I donât know what you ultimately want to do, but thereâs one thing I can tell you right now, if you think of using me to target any family, itâs impossible."
"You..." Liang Wenzhong indeed had this intention, he wanted to secure a project from the Jiang Family, and having no choice, he finally decided to target Shen Shuci.
There were some things that werenât convenient to say outright, and he hesitated about how to phrase them, but Shen Shuci had bluntly exposed him.
Feeling a surge of annoyance, he could only grit his teeth and bear it.
"If Iâm overthinking and have misunderstood you, I apologize. The necklace is beautiful, just not suitable for me." Shen Shuci pushed the necklace back across to him.
Liang Wenzhong simply smiled, "You really are overthinking. I just wanted to meet you in person and see if you were doing well. This necklace is just a small gift with no other implications."
"Iâve been too suspicious..." Shen Shuci lowered his head and drank her tea.
Strike first to prevent him from harboring any designs; it was better to nip it in the bud.
Initially, Shen Shuci had come excited and nervous to discuss cooperation, only to find it was merely a setup; she had even booked a restaurant to treat this Mr. Huang to a meal, but now it seemed unnecessary.
Meanwhile, Tang Wan called, "Howâs the negotiation going? Is it smooth?"
"Smooth." Shen Shuci forced a small smile at the corner of her mouth.
"Then you must be having dinner with the client, so me and Fifth Brother will take Grandpa and Grandma out to eat..."
"Tell your aunt to rest at home after dealing with the client, no need to come see me, Iâm fine," the elderly lady said over the phone.
"Okay, you all eat more." Shen Shuci hung up the phone and pinched the bridge of her nose. How this family haunts her.
...
Meanwhile, Jiang Yanting, honeymooning abroad, because of the time difference, had to rush to catch a morning flight to their next destination, pack their luggage, and take the children to the airport; by the time they board the plane, the sun had already begun to rise.
Shen Zhixian and the two children were asleep, Jiang Yanting covered them with blankets and was just about to turn off his phone and rest his eyes when he saw a new message:
Huo Qinqi: [Morning!]
Sent at seven in the morning local time, Jiang Yanting slightly frowned. Why is he sending this message this early?
The two didnât usually text much, preferring phone calls when necessary.
Their last text was wishing each other a happy Lantern Festival, and before that, a New Yearâs blessing. Why suddenly greet him this morning?
And considering past events, Jiang Yanting always felt a bit off.
After thinking, ignoring it didnât seem right, and knowing his temperament, Huo Qinqi would probably just call after a while, he politely replied: [It should be quite late there, havenât you rested yet?]
[Waiting for your reply.]
[Whatâs the matter?]
[If itâs convenient, could you lend me the complete video of your wedding day? Thanks.]
[Why do you need that?]
[For observational study.]
...
All traces of sleepiness were thoroughly dispelled for Jiang Yanting.
He was just out on a honeymoon, away from Beijing; couldnât they leave him in peace?
