Chapter 739: Chapter 632: Blowing Wind on the Rooftop

The August sun in Yangcheng is still a blazing midsumr heat.

Four-thirty in the afternoon.

The sun is strong, hot, with a slight breeze.

Pei Sheng hugs the climbing fra in the rooftop machine room, shivering, refusing to take a step closer to the wall of the rooftop.

Not far away, the young man sits leisurely on the rooftop wall, leaning against the second-floor railing, seemingly smiling but not quite as he watches Pei Sheng steadfastly refuse to co over.

“Boss, don’t get excited…”

...

Pei Sheng’s voice trembles as he says, “I just went out to play for a bit, and look, I ca back early, ready to stay overnight at the company to work overti. I haven’t neglected my work.”

Xu Shuo, with his leg propped up, says lazily, “Oh, so you ca back especially to work overti?”

Pei Sheng nods his head eagerly, like a pecking chicken.

“I thought Mr. Pei was so engrossed in pleasures that he completely ignored his project, and was already preparing to co up to the rooftop when the ti ca,” Xu Shuo says with a tilt of his head and a smile.

“How could that be! I was up all night looking at the plan just yesterday!” Pei Sheng declares confidently.

“But today Los ca to find …”

“What?”

Pei Sheng looks at him anxiously.

Los had only shown him a new plan yesterday, and then, due to the whispers from Angela, he had sent it back to be redone.

In Pei Sheng’s expectation, the new plan would surely take another three or four days to complete, since the project in its early stages wasn’t difficult but was quite troubleso.

It was because he thought the new plan wouldn’t be done so soon that Pei Sheng didn’t hesitate to skip work this morning, since there would be nothing for him at the studio anyway.

His job was to just look at the docunts, sign his na, and give commands.

How easy was that~

Bang.

Suddenly, Xu Shuo jumps down from the wall and walks towards Pei Sheng.

Pei Sheng, deep in thought, imdiately grips the climbing fra tightly, shouting excitedly, “What are you doing! Don’t co over here! I already said I’m going to work overti tonight!”

Xu Shuo approaches him, the usually faintly smiling face now expressionless, only staring at him and saying, “Did you really seriously look at the plan Los gave you?”

Pei Sheng responds with a pitiful tone, “I looked…”

“What did it say on it?”

“That kid wanted to develop a VR headset first…”

“Idiot, that’s a thesis, analyzing the feasibility of the human brain and electronic data transmission.”

“…???”

“I’ll ask you again, did you really look?”

“I… I did look…”

“What did it say?”

“A thesis?”

“Then what does our company do?”

“Develop gas…”

Under Xu Shuo’s scrutiny, Pei Sheng’s voice becos softer and softer, more and more fearful, shrinking into the shadow of so mighty demon.

He seems to realize his mistake, too.

But still desperately trying to defend himself, he says, “I knew what he wrote was wrong, so I had him redo the plan. It takes ti to make a plan, right? If I go out during the day, I’ll co back at night to look at the plan, won’t I?”

Xu Shuo sneers, “You knew it was wrong, yet you don’t communicate with your employees, do you?”

Pei Sheng mumbles, “I communicated…”

“Yes, you communicated, you’ve made him write ten theses since the project started!”

“…”

Pei Sheng is dumbfounded. His first thought is why that kid hasn’t gone off to graduate school, and then he belatedly realizes that the other party thinks grad school would slow down his money-making.

What a badass employee!

If they have such an aweso employee, what do they even need a director for? No wonder he acts like a hands-off manager!

“Forget it.”

While Pei Sheng was distracted and feeling sorry for himself, Xu Shuo suddenly let out a sigh.

He spoke indifferently, “I should have known that a rich young master like you certainly wouldn’t be interested in managing projects. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have been too lazy to make any progress in Radiance for four years. It just so happens that the Pei Family has been wanting you to return. Why don’t you just find a ti to go back to Pei?”

Pei Sheng: “…”

Pei Sheng: “???”

Pei Sheng: “!!!”

Pei Sheng, who had just co to his senses, imdiately shouted, “I’m not leaving! In life, I belong to Radiance, and in death, I’ll be a ghost of Radiance!”

Going back would definitely an being suppressed and forced to study this and that; it would be even crazier than clocking in for work. What’s more terrifying is that he’d definitely be restricted from going out and having fun!

With so many beautiful won out there and so many great tis in life, the lack of freedom is too frightening!

Xu Shuo chuckled, “When you mix it up, you beco lawless, your desires cloud your judgnt, and you might even spill our company’s trade secrets everywhere. How can I dare to keep you?”

Pei Sheng was imdiately annoyed, “You’re slandering ! I’ve never leaked our company secrets, and for your information, you never let see them!”

“How can it be not? The multi-million-dollar project I allotted to you this ti isn’t a secret? You skipped work today without a second word for that woman; soone could have just whispered in your ear, and you’d spill everything,” Xu Shuo said lazily.

“Who said that! I’m not a fool; I haven’t uttered a single word of the secrets in the planning case. If I had, I’d never be with a woman again my whole life, okay?”

What a harsh oath!

Pei Sheng felt so aggrieved he found his own curse cruel.

Xu Shuo stroked his chin, “Even if you haven’t leaked secrets for the ti being, but you must have told her about company stuff when she asked, and you probably didn’t hide anything about us, the company executives, either.”

“That’s not…”

Pei Sheng responded with a mix of guilt and confidence, “We just talked about the entrepreneurial stuff between brothers, that’s no secret at all. It’s normal for to introduce a brother to her… I think you’re having paranoid delusions. Angela isn’t a corporate spy; she has no reason to inquire about you guys.”

Xu Shuo raised an eyebrow, “And your sudden question about the car accident at noon today, wasn’t that because she was probing?”

“She got into an accident as soon as she returned to Yang City, so I was just asking how she was…”

“It was her who collided with my car.”

“So she hit your car, and you hit her too, that evens it out…”

“So what did you tell her about it?”

“What’s there to say, it’s been so many days, and she’s not holding a grudge over it, so I left it unntioned.”

Pei Sheng murmured with Resentnt, “All because of you, my lunch with the goddess got ruined, why did you have to hit her car for no reason.”

Xu Shuo pondered.

It seed that Angela wasn’t in a rush. The two of them were probably still in a stage of mutual probing and hadn’t progressed to the point he assud they had of being lovey-dovey.

“Is that all you didn’t ntion anything else?” Xu Shuo asked again.

“What else is there to say?”

Pei Sheng couldn’t help but roll his eyes; the person he complained about the most to Angela was Los, because the goddess seed to be particularly interested in Los’s embarrassing monts.

As for Xu Shuo, there weren’t really any embarrassing monts. This guy was so boring that it was impossible to make fun of him.

Xu Shuo nodded, “Since that’s the case, you might as well pack up and leave tomorrow.”

Pei Sheng: “…???”

Xu Shuo looked at him with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile, “You haven’t produced any results, and you’re practically useless to the booming Radiance now, so why should I keep you? You don’t think I’m the kind of person who tolerates slackers, do you?”

Hearing this, Pei Sheng beca daringly furious, “I’m an investor in Radiance! If you dare to drive away, I’ll pull my investnt and bankrupt you!”

Xu Shuo narrowed his eyes, “You’re threatening ?”

Pei Sheng: “…”

He imdiately caved and clung onto the climbing fra, clamoring, “In any case, I’m not leaving!”
