Chapter 777: Chapter 767: Lu Xun Was Right

Su Qing didn’t feel the slightest guilt about pretending to sleep and tricking Tang Nan into praising him; he was even a little happy.

It’s not easy to hear good words about him from Tang Nan, after all, this person has quite the sharp tongue.

"How are you doing? Wipe your face. I’ll get some water for you. Wash your feet and go to bed early!"

At home, seeing Su Qing looking drained while leaning on the sofa, Shen Yi couldn’t help but soften her tone slightly.

Although she knew today’s events weren’t Su Qing’s fault—just someone seeing a juicy opportunity and wanting to take advantage—but she was still quite unhappy and somewhat upset with Su Qing too.

Of course, her feelings were understandable. The female CEO is human too, and she’s a woman, so it’s natural to feel a little jealous.

If the roles were reversed, and Shen Yi faced the same situation today, Su Qing guaranteed that his reaction would probably be even more extreme than hers.

It wouldn’t just be about throwing money around; he might impulsively use his unique narrative ability for revenge.

Not by reporting the company’s issues, but by using another more powerful ability; it was inspiration he found in his movie "Crisis Edge."

In the movie, the protagonist could foresee future events through brain development and then kill a person by manipulating a tiny variable, making it look like an accident.

Su Qing could also achieve this with narration, although not as quickly or easily as in the movie. However, as long as he wanted to, by continuously triggering and gathering information, he could achieve a similar effect. The variable was him constantly trying.

Of course, he’s not a psycho; he hasn’t any intention of hurting anyone. Life is good, after all: money to spend, entertainment to enjoy, and a girl in his arms!

All this is just something he accidentally discovered while developing his narration, to be prepared for any eventuality.

If someone targeted him, he wouldn’t want to be a person with only money but no ability to fight back; that would be really frustrating.

Hearing Shen Yi’s words, Su Qing nodded, "It’s alright. Thank you. It must be tiring for you to come pick me up after a whole day of work!"

Su Qing took the towel and wiped his face, then said, after Shen Yi helped him take off his socks and put his feet in the basin.

If he hadn’t been helped back after they got out of the car in this cold weather, which sobered him up a bit, he probably wouldn’t have had the strength to even open his eyes—it was dizzying.

"Good to know. Be more mindful in the future. You’re the client spending the money. If you really don’t want to drink, no one can force you.

I know you’re investing in film and will have to deal with people in the entertainment industry, but you should stay away from those women. They’re not easy to handle. Stick to just having meals in those business dealings," Shen Yi admonished with a sideways glance.

As a businesswoman, she knew the ins and outs of how men conduct business—business KTVs, clubs; all sorts of things happen there. In her heart, although she had accepted Su Qing, she still thought of him as somewhat inexperienced.

She had picked someone innocent and wasn’t going to let him be led astray. After all, he’s still young and shouldn’t be exposed to those messy things.

"Got it, got it. By the way, today you slapped Zhang Hanjing; that won’t cause any trouble, will it?" Su Qing asked, still a bit worried.

He wasn’t upset about Shen Yi’s reaction and didn’t think it would affect him; he was just worried Shen Yi might have some trouble because of it.

Upon hearing this, Shen Yi crouched down, lifted his foot out of the basin, wiped it off, and smiled, "No worries, it was just a slap. What could she do to me?"

"You can’t say that. Your actions might constitute provocation," Su Qing sighed.

In a law-abiding society, hitting someone is against the law.

"Don’t worry; it’s a minor issue. You don’t understand. Not only is she unlikely to report it, but even if she does and jeopardizes her future, I can handle it.

Besides, do you think someone like her would dare to offend others over such a trivial matter? She’s under contract. If I really wanted to, there are plenty of ways to deal with her!"

Shen Yi was very confident in this regard. Moreover, before this happened, Tang Nan had briefed her about Zhang Hanjing’s situation, so she felt assured.

Also, at the restaurant, she explicitly mentioned Zhang Hanjing’s company. Unless Zhang is foolish, she would tread carefully, especially with Tang Nan spreading the word in between; Zhang Hanjing’s boss wouldn’t let her stir up trouble.

Shen Yi planned everything openly and behind the scenes. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have acted. If Zhang reported it, Shen Yi would first face an avalanche of information.

After all, Tang Nan had even shot a few seconds of video for her, and just that clip would be enough to ruin Zhang.

By then, if they made their relationship public with Tang Nan vouching, how many directors present would stand by Zhang Hanjing?

Even if Shen Yi isn’t in the right, the directors wouldn’t dare speak against her. Offending an investor isn’t wise, especially when Shen Yi has such a big company backing her.

"So? You don’t resent me for crashing your dinner and embarrassing you?" Shen Yi asked with a playful smile, cupping her cheeks with her hands.

Despite the justifiable reason behind her actions, from another perspective, she didn’t give Su Qing any face at all.

What man doesn’t want to save face outside? If faced with some who have a strong sense of pride and masculinity, they probably wouldn’t be able to stand it.

But Su Qing wasn’t thinking like that. When he first met Shen Yi, he always felt that having this narrative ability was like the heavens bestowing a great task upon him; first, they cut his WiFi, then his data, and hack his account. With all that, why would he need to rely on someone? Wouldn’t that underestimate him?

But now he doesn’t think that way. Ever since Shen Yi lent him money for stock trading, he accepted it as ’really nice.’

If there’s an easy life to live, why not indulge in it a bit more? Not only does he enjoy it, but he also revels in it. After all, there’s no harm or loss in it.

"Why would I blame you? I was delighted to see you. I wasn’t keen on staying, and you gave me a perfect excuse to leave. If you hadn’t come, I might have flipped out on them!"

Hearing this, Shen Yi’s face radiated satisfaction, "Not bad, quite the smooth-talker. And I heard from Tang Nan that the atmosphere there was tense back then. Here’s a reward for you, keep it up!"

Saying this, she playfully flicked him on the forehead, leaving Su Qing feeling quite helpless.

Sometimes, in front of him, Shen Yi could indeed show her softer side and act like a girly girl, but her character still mostly stayed the same, treating him like a kid from time to time, which was a bit uncomfortable.

After a quick freshening up, seeing him all dizzy, Shen Yi didn’t say much. She helped him into the bedroom, and they turned off the lights to rest; as for what would follow, that would have to wait until tomorrow to be seen.

After all, it’s not like they wouldn’t sleep over this matter, and Su Qing still had things to do recently.

Soon, there were shuffling sounds in the bedroom.

"Hey~ stop moving around, just sleep, you drank too much! Good boy~"

"No, not tonight. Why are you so disobedient? I’m getting angry!"

"Ugh~~ You’re so annoying!"

In less than five minutes, only Shen Yi’s complaining voice remained in the bedroom.

It wasn’t that someone was unable, but that Aunt Flo had arrived, bringing a crimson tide with her.

Indeed, Lu Xun was right; the first soldier to go in would surely come out bearing blood.
