Chapter 22: The Black Near Ink
Shen Xian put a hand on the back of Qin Shi's hand, met her complicated eyes and said calmly: "I don't know why you see him every time, but Qin Shi, I hope that outside of the scope of work, you can Keep your distance from him!"
Qin Shi's hands were very cold, even colder than Shen Xian's who had always had cold hands and feet.
Holding her hand, Shen Xian couldn't help but remember that every time Bai Chan saw her in the past, he would hold her hand immediately. In winter, he would put Qin Shi's hand into his pocket, as if Care for a cold bird, carefully.
Now her hands are still cold, but no one warms her hands anymore.
Perhaps feeling the warmth of Shen Xian's palm, Qin Shi's eyes flashed with a glimmer, but soon, she shook off Shen Xian's hand.
"What qualifications do you have to ask me, Shen Xian, do you overestimate yourself? Even Mr. Gu's special assistant can't control me, the financial director!"
Qin Shi crossed his arms, raised his chin and looked at Shen Xian proudly.
"I'm not saying this to you as the special assistant to President Shen Fei. I'm saying this to you as Shen Xian, your former... friend."
After talking about it, Shen Xian's tone became a little heavier.
Yes, friends, once.
Qin Shi's butterfly-wing eyelashes fluttered gently, hiding the sadness that had not yet spread in her eyes.
She turned to look out the window and said in a leisurely voice, "Shen Xian, I earned my position today through my own efforts. I don't want to hear your doubts today a second time."
Shen Xian looked at her perfect profile and felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.
She believes in Qin Shi's talent. She is a top student at one of the country's leading financial and economics universities. She is both good in character and academics and has a strong nature. She has been living very hard because she is an orphan and has suffered much more than ordinary people since she was a child.
So she must do her best no matter what. Only in this way can she not be ignored or forgotten by the world.
Shen Xian believes in Qin Shi's ability. She can shine in any place. But this is Shenfei, and she is the financial director of Shenfei Group.
This span cannot be achieved by ordinary people in three years.
"Qin Shi, I believe in your ability, but I don't believe in other people's intentions."
Shen Xian told Qin Shi what he knew about Gu Heng and Peng Fei. Qin Shi was only surprised for a moment, but was soon replaced by ridicule.
"Mr. Gu, has he even told you such a secret thing now? It has only been a long time, but you have really won his heart."
Qin Shi fiddled with her delicate nails and seemed not to care about the secret revealed by Shen Xian.
"Mr. Gu didn't tell me this, I discovered it myself."
Shen Xian was always extremely tolerant of Qin Shi's rudeness.
Qin Shi frowned and looked at Shen Xian with a more probing look, "Shen Xian, what is your purpose in coming to Shen Fei?"
Shen Xian looked at Qin Shi tenderly at this moment. She had put away her anger and seemed to look more like before.
She didn't know if Qin Shi got to where he is today just because of his own efforts, as she said, but she knew that Qin Shi must have put in unimaginable hard work.
She didn't want Qin Shi to be involved before the matter was decided.
"Qin Shi, I don't want you to become the second Peng Fei, and Bai Zhang certainly doesn't want to see you like that."
After Shen Xian finished speaking, he looked at Qin Shi deeply and left the CFO's office without waiting for Qin Shi's answer.
She knew that with Qin Shi's current rejection of her, it would not make much sense to continue talking.
What she didn't notice was that Qin Shi behind her clenched her wrist with a look of sadness after she left.
On the snow-like Hao's wrist, she wore a red bracelet given to her by Bai Zhang.
Shen Xian didn't know how much effect his words could have on Qin Shi, but this time the reimbursement documents were not sent back again and again like before. A few days later, Shen Xian received the reimbursement in full.
Days went as usual. Shen Xian had become accustomed to picking up Gu Chen every morning and evening, and put in the effort to prepare delicious breakfast for him in different ways every day. Sometimes she bought it from a breakfast shop, and sometimes she would prepare it herself according to whether Gu Chen was socializing and drinking the day before. Food that nourishes the stomach.
Gu Chen didn't care at all about his third uncle's increased work contact with Shen Xian. Even when Shen Xian made a special report, he simply said "I understand" or "Just do as Vice President Gu asked." .”
Shen Xian couldn't figure out what was going on between the uncle and nephew.
Gu Chen sometimes talks to Zhang Chi on the phone in the car. When he talks to Zhang Chi, his voice is soft, his tone is gentle, and he looks very relaxed.
Only then did Shen Xian remember that Zhang Chi had been hospitalized for more than a month.
The days go by so fast!
Taking advantage of the weekend, Shen Xian cooked corn ribs soup and took it to the hospital for Zhang Chi.
She only takes the bus and subway every day, but today she took a rare taxi just to give Zhang Chi a taste of the soup while it was fresh and warm.
Last time, Zhang Chi said that Gu Chen had hired a nutritionist for him, and presumably the food was tailor-made according to his physical condition. There should be no shortage of nourishing foods, but after all, it was her intention.
Autumn in the north is coming quickly and urgently. The leaves have begun to fall along the way, and pedestrians are staggering on the road blown by the strong wind.
It was really bad weather! Shen Xian wrapped his khaki windbreaker tightly around his body and curled up his head like an ostrich.
When she reached Zhang Chi's floor, she took off her mask, pulled up her windbreaker, and strode towards Zhang Chi's ward with the incubator in hand.
"Miss Benefactor!" Zhang Chi's voice came from behind her.
When Shen Xian turned around and looked back, he saw Zhang Chi moving with difficulty on crutches.
"Why are you out there? Be careful."
As she spoke, she took two quick steps to support Zhang Chi and looked worriedly at his leg in plaster.
"It takes a hundred days to break your muscles and bones. You hurt your bones this time. You need to take good care of yourself."
Shen Xian supported him, and the two of them walked very slowly. The corridor was surprisingly quiet, and the only sounds that could be heard were Shen Xian's voice and the relaxing sound of his crutches hitting the ground.
"Haha, it's nothing serious. If I don't get out of bed and walk around, my other leg will be useless. The wind was too strong today, so I didn't go downstairs and was active in the corridor."
Zhang Chi said with a relaxed expression. His handsome face was indeed rounder and paler than before.
Every time Shen Xian saw him, he felt very sad and would occasionally suffer from cramps.
This is also the reason why she has not come to see Zhangchi for so long. Unintentionally, she seems to have been making excuses for herself.
Shen Xian stopped talking and silently helped Zhang Chi to the ward.
Zhang Chi is much taller than Shen Xian. Even with a cane, when she looks sideways, she can only see the tip of Shen Xian's nose which is slightly red from the cold. Her eyelashes are very long, covering her eyes which are so thick that they cannot be healed. gloomy.
"I didn't expect you would actually come to see me."
"Ah? What?"
Shen Xian was immersed in his own emotions and didn't hear Zhang Chi's words clearly. He raised his head in surprise and asked back.
Zhang Chi smiled wildly and changed the subject, "What are you holding in your hand?"
"I made the soup."
While talking, the two of them had already arrived in the ward.
Zhang Chi slowly sat down on the bed. Shen Xian took the crutch from his hand and put it aside. He rubbed his hands with alcohol-free hand sanitizer on the table by the door before opening the thermos box.
As soon as the lid was opened, a strong aroma of meat overflowed, and Zhang Zai opened his eyes like a child waiting to eat.
