However, later on, Shen Qingxi began to conceal his talents, and some people felt that Shen Qingxi was nothing special.
People around him gradually left, and some who didn't want to leave also left because Shen Feng was now free to do so, fearing Shen Feng would find out!
Of course, in Shen Qingxi's eyes, these people left because of various opportunities, moving, transferring schools, and so on.
Pang Cheng suddenly remembered a piece of news he had heard in Kyoto.
"By the way, Qingxi, do you remember Nangong Duoduo?"
Shen Qingxi nodded without hesitation: "Of course I remember, it's a compound surname, Nangong. I've always thought that compound surnames, besides Sima, are incredibly cool.
However, Nangong Duoduo shattered my illusions about compound surnames. That little girl, all she did was cry, like a little steamed bun every day.
Just a little teasing and she'd puff up and start crying. I used to love teasing her when I was little!"
Pang Cheng ate a wonton.
Then he said, "She's coming back."
Shen Qingxi poured some white pepper powder, then took a sip of soup. "So what if she's coming back? Wait, how do you know she's coming back?
Have you been in contact with her?
Are you interested in her? No, when we met, we were five or six years old, and you were a baby!"
Shen Qingxi looked at Pang Cheng with disdain.
Pang Cheng almost choked.
Interested in Nangong Duoduo?
Just think of what those young masters in Beijing thought of Nangong Duoduo.
Pang Cheng subconsciously shuddered.
That kind of person was someone he couldn't afford to offend.
And, most importantly, Nangong Duoduo was Shen Qingxi's fiancée.
How could he possibly be interested in her?
Pang Cheng rolled his eyes: "Alright, you can't say anything nice. I'm too lazy to talk to you. Hurry up and eat. You can still take a shower when you get back."
Shen Qingxi said, "You guys are really working hard."
Pang Cheng looked Shen Qingxi up and down: "So you mean you think you can sleep?"
Shen Qingxi said, "Can't I sleep?"
Pang Cheng sneered: "You're dreaming. You want to sleep? We all have to go to the company later. There are a lot of things you need to handle!"
Shen Qingxi was shocked: "I have to go too? What am I going to do?"
Pang Cheng said: "Do you really think being a CEO is so easy? You can not work, but you still have to be at the company, especially today. The group just changed its leader.
There are a lot of things that need your approval and signature.
Rou-jie and I have already taken care of everything for you. You can just implement it directly when you get to the company."
Shen Qingxi's world suddenly darkened.
He actually had to go to work.
He, a powerful CEO, actually had to go to work!
Is this reasonable?
Obviously not.
Shen Qingxi asked tentatively, "Um, can I not go?"
Pang Cheng responded with a bright and sunny smile.
"Of course not, President Shen."
In the newly risen golden sunlight, Pang Cheng's smile was so radiant, with a golden halo.
Shen Qingxi's heart sank to the bottom.
...
Kyoto, Nangong Family Manor.
Nangong Feiyang, the head of the Nangong family, knocked on a door.
A sweet voice came from inside.
"What is it, Daddy?"
As he spoke, the door opened.
A girl with pigtails opened the door.
She poked her head out, her face still a little sleepy.
Exquisite features, paired with pigtails.
Who wouldn't give her a thumbs up? A top-tier loli!
Nangong Feiyang smiled and said, "Duoduo, you're awake."
Nangong Duoduo nodded, "Yeah, just woke up. Daddy, why do you have such dark circles under your eyes?"
Nangong Feiyang said, "It's nothing, I didn't sleep all night. I'll catch up on sleep later. Daddy came to tell you that he wants you to go to Jiangcheng again. The family wants to expand into Jiangcheng, and there's an old city renovation project there.
He wants you to take charge of things there."
A hint of surprise flashed in Nangong Duoduo's eyes, but she quickly suppressed it.
"Ah, going to Jiangcheng? That's so far, Daddy, I don't want to go."
Nangong Feiyang patted Nangong Duoduo's head.
"Good daughter, you should go and gain some experience, learn some things.
Otherwise, how will you hand over the family group to us in the future? Right? Just think of it as helping Daddy share the burden, okay?"
Nangong Duoduo pouted.
"Alright then, I want to help Daddy."
Nangong Feiyang smiled, "Good daughter, you're so obedient. Go wash up, and we'll set off after breakfast."
Nangong Duoduo nodded.
Then,she closed the door and sat down on the bed.
The sweet smile on her face had completely disappeared.
Instead, a somewhat manic smile appeared.
"Jiangcheng, Jiangcheng, I can finally go to Jiangcheng, Brother Qingxi, I can finally see you again!
Do you still remember me?
You promised me you wouldn't forget me, you belong to me, you belong to me alone.
If you forget me, Duoduo will kill you!"
Nangong Duoduo's smile became increasingly crazed.
Her grip on the doll tightened,her face flushed with excitement .
Nangong Duoduo's gaze swept over the pink decorations and videos in the room.
"Finally, I can do what I want."
But quickly, she concealed the madness in her eyes.
"No, no, I can't, I can't let Brother Qingxi know about this, otherwise, he'll be scared.
I have to be good, stay obediently by Brother Qingxi's side."
Nangong Duoduo pressed the doll to her chest,kneading it forcefully.
"I've missed you so much, Brother Qingxi, I've missed you for so many years!"
Nangong Duoduo took out a volume from under her pillow and gently opened it.
Inside were photos of Shen Qingxi.
From childhood to adulthood, every single one, even every single moment.
They were all candid shots, but they all captured Shen Qingxi's figure in the photos.
Nangong Duoduo's fingers traced the photos.
"Brother Qingxi, wait for me, Duoduo is coming to find you!"
...
After finishing a bowl of wontons,
Shen Qingxi felt a warm feeling in his stomach.
Pang Cheng also looked satisfied.
"After eating like this for so many years, I can never get enough,"
Shen Qingxi said casually. "Then I can just come and eat here every day from now on."
Pang Cheng rolled his eyes: "What, are you planning to make me work overtime until this time every day? You heartless capitalist!"
Shen Qingxi laughed: "I didn't, you said it."
Pang Cheng stood up: "Let's go, after today you'll be busy, and I'll be busy too.
I don't know if we'll still have time to eat wontons."
Shen Qingxi smiled: "Yes, yes, there will be plenty. If you want to eat, I'll bring you here, it's on me."
Shen Qingxi put his arm around Pang Cheng's shoulder.
Pang Cheng said, "Then it's a deal. After I'm done with this, you treat me to wontons. I want two bowls!"
Shen Qingxi gave an OK sign.
A bowl of wontons? He's a powerful CEO, after all.
Pang Cheng looked at the smile on Shen Qingxi's face beside him.
A smile also appeared on his face. Get busy, he thought, he'd better finish this bowl of wontons as soon as possible.
