Chapter 89
Zhang Zhiyong definitely did insult the crown prince, but President Qiao knew how to keep public and private matters separate. He wouldn’t fire people out of anger. He could only look at the problem from another angle.
He had looked all around and what he’d found was this his son was being sched upon.
If it weren’t for He Shen doing everything for him, would Shao Shao appear so incompetent?
If it weren’t for He Shen taking the initiative to serve him, would Shao Shao beco an insufferably arrogant child?
So the root of the problem lay with this He Shen.
When Qiao Zongmin saw that his son was enchanted to the point that he couldn’t even think clearly anymore, he added, “Think about it. You’re not his girlfriend so why on earth would he treat you with such painstaking care?”
Qiao Shao: “........................”
I’m definitely not his girlfriend, but I could be his boyfriend, dad!
Qiao Zongmin relied on strength and facts to push past him. “To be able to co up with such a sche at such a young age, later on, you won’t be able to surpass him.”
Qiao Shao felt very conflicted. He Shen Shen hadn’t done anything and he was already disliked by his dad. What more after he cos out with everything!
Before, Qiao Shao had been saying heaps of good things about He Shen but now it’s all gone cold. He’d also been hoping to use his sumr work to continue to build up his good impression, and have Da Qiao subsidize his family. But now ...
Qiao Shao couldn’t accept it and he continued to put in a good word for his boyfriend. “Dad, you’re thinking too much. Don’t try to define us from an adult’s view.”
Qiao Zongmin said, “So what if you’re minors? After 10 years old, everyone’s IQ is equal. Don’t underestimate anyone.”
Qiao Shao added, “He’s also very good to when we’re at school. It’s thanks to him that I can eat and drink now!”
It wouldn’t have been so bad if he hadn’t ntioned this. Once again, Qiao Zongmin got angry.
Oh, it’s not actually anger but rather distress.
Think about it ... The Qiao family had worked so hard for so long but they couldn’t get Qiao Shao to eat and drink well. Why was it that once he t this He kid, Qiao Shao got better and better?
It was true that there was no one else who was happier than Qiao Zongmin about his son’s recovery but it was also true that he felt very distressed!
Before, he managed to maintain his composure despite the sourness in his heart. But now that he knew He Shen was a scheming brat, Comrade Qiao Zongmin couldn’t hold back this long brewing sourness.
Qiao Zongmin said, “What do you an ‘thanks to him’? Don’t you also have Chen Su, Wei Jiayu, Song Yixu and Jie Kai?”
That’s right, Qiao Shao t quite a few classmates at East High and he’d ca back to tell Qiao Zongmin all about them.
Qiao Shao continued to argue. “That’s different!”
Qiao Zongmin sighed. “How is he different? Aside from He Shen being you seatmate, being a bit better at studying and having a sweet tooth, what else is there?”
Qiao Shao was cautious, so he didn’t dare to say more. His faltering appearance though made it look like he’d been persuaded by Da Qiao.
Qiao Zongmin continued, “Don’t be like the emperor who lost his head over lust. You have to be clear-headed.”
Qiao Shao: “..................”
Has he ‘lost his head over lust’? Sure enough, no one knows a son better than his father.
Slowly, Qiao Shao began to realize.
The more he praised He Shen, the angrier his dad got. The more he expressed He Shen’s importance, the more his dad disliked him ... Does he have to do the opposite?
But he still didn’t say anything bad about He Shen. It wasn’t that he couldn’t but because there really wasn’t anything bad to say about him.
This was too difficult!
He wracked his head but still couldn’t co up with anything bad about He Shen.
Fortunately, although Da Qiao “admired and envied He Shen to the point of hatred”, he still maintained the fairness of an adult. He said, “To be that calculating at such a young age could also be considered a skill. Dad isn’t saying that he’s a bad kid, but when you look at people you have to look a bit above it all. Only then can you see the overall picture. No man is perfect, and it’s difficult to distinguish between good and evil. You only have to see how you should interact with him. ”
Qiao Zongmin has never discussed these things to Qiao Shao before.
After that incident, their only wish was for Qiao Shao to live a healthy and happy life, nothing else.
But as he’s gotten better, Qiao Zongmin also hoped that he could have a richer, fuller life.
Even if Qiao Shao wouldn’t want to take over the Shen Hai Group in the future, Qiao Zongmin still hopes that he could be more mature.
His parents and family wouldn’t be able protect him his entire life. Only he himself could be his ever-lasting support.
Qiao Shao had no ans whatsoever to deal with Comrade Da Qiao’s prejudices.
He couldn’t say or do anything, so he let the matter slide for the next few days.
Let him have his prejudices. After the truth is revealed, Da Qiao will fully understand what was going on ... En, although he could just wind up even angrier.
Throughout the sumr, Qiao Shao didn’t find a way to subsidize He Shen. Later, he found he’d been trying to do sothing unnecessary. He Shen already had a plan.
The reason he signed up for the sumr job was to scout out so private work.
After working hard for the entire sumr, most of the people in R&D already acknowledged his skills.
Each departnt in a large company had its own jurisdiction. So things that they don’t have ti or resources to deal with will be outsourced. Many of the tasks that He Shen was assigned with were things like this.
Qiao Shao sincerely admired him. “No wonder you signed up for the sumr job.”
For He Shen, who could earn six figures in a month, a sumr job with a salary of a few thousand was really worthless.
He Shen explained to him. “That’s just one reason. I really am interested in the Shen Hai Group.”
Qiao Shao’s eyes lit up. “You do now. But what about after two more months?”
He Shen said, “I really like it.”
Qiao Shao was even happier. “After graduation, would you really consider joining Shen Hai?”
He Shen smiled. “That’s six or seven years away. There’s no need to hurry.”
This was true...
But the fact that He Shen liked Shen Hai made Qiao Shao very happy.
Da Qiao already doesn’t like He Shen. If He Shen also doesn’t like Da Qiao, what would he do if he got sandwiched between these two!
He Shen watched his emotions and asked, “Why do you want to join Shen Hai so much?”
Qiao Shao told him the truth. “Of course, after all, it’s my family’s company.”
Anyway, He Shen wouldn’t believe it.
He Shen smiled. “Could it be that despite working in his own company for two months, no one here has recognized the young master?”
Qiao Shao said, “It’s because the departnt we’re assigned to is too low on the corporate ladder.”
The more He Shen heard, the less he believed it. He said, “There are still a few days before school starts. Is the young master’s howork all done?”
Young Master Qiao was imdiately panicked. “There’s still a lot I haven’t done yet!”
He had been so busy at work every day that he hadn’t had ti to finish his howork.
He Shen asked him, “Want to co to my place to work on it tomorrow?”
Qiao Shao imdiately agreed. “Okay.”
Before they knew it, sumr vacation was almost over. The blazing heat was blown away by the autumn wind, and sumr gradually drifted away.
The day before the start of school, He Shen, who had been following the rules for two months, couldn’t hold back. “Stay over tonight, it will be less hassle to go to school tomorrow morning.”
Qiao Shao didn’t think much and said, “Okay, I’ll bring all my bedding in advance.”
It will also save him from Da Qiao nagging to send him off to school tomorrow.
He Shen kissed him secretly, and Qiao Shao startled, “Be careful! We could be seen!”
He Shen said, “There won’t be any more chances once school starts.”
Qiao Shao went over the basic rules with him. “We definitely can’t do this in school!”
He Shen: “En.”
Qiao Shao emphasized: “We can’t let others see it!”
He Shen understood. “OK.”
Qiao Shao breathed a sigh of relief and in an effort to coax him said, “When we get ho, we can...uh ...”
Qiao Shao was kissed until his face was all flushed and he couldn’t bring himself to raise his head. “We’re out on the road!”
He Shen said, “There’s no one around.”
Qiao Shao was extrely cautious. “It’s still not allowed!”
When he finished speaking, He Shen’s cell phone suddenly rang.
He Shen stepped aside for a bit and answered the call. At first, the corner of his mouth was raised but as he listened his mouth tightened into a line.
After hanging up the phone, he said to Qiao Shao, “You go ho first, I have sothing to do.”
Qiao Shao saw in his expression that sothing was wrong and he asked, “What’s wrong?”
He Shen thought for a while and said, “Lou Xiao got into a fight and was taken to the police station.”
Qiao Shao was startled and asked quickly. “School’s starting soon, he ...”
He Shen opened a cab-hailing app and said, “I’ll go and see the situation. You should go back first.”
How could Qiao Shao not worry? He quickly said, “I’ll go with you.”
