Chapter 51 2/2

In addition to the CEO course, she has enrolled in a bunch of other courses: dance, body shaping, illustration, and painting. She goes to classes when she has time and practices at home when she doesn’t.

006 doesn’t understand why the host is so happily learning various skills. It thinks that Sheng Quan is afraid of disappearing.

[Host, I won’t disappear, and you will always be wealthy.]

[I know.] Sheng Quan responds to 006 while practicing yoga, [This is not painful learning; it’s pursuing my hobbies.]

At the age of 23, she wants to engage in hobbies that she didn’t have time to do back then.

At that time, Sheng Quan would spend ten minutes every morning practicing yoga. It was only ten minutes, pitifully short, mainly for relaxing her stiff body.

Now, she can spend an hour practicing freely, and she can even have professional yoga teachers come to teach her at home.

So joyful!

Sometimes, Sheng Quan takes the time to pay attention to the lives of her subordinates.

After a long period of treatment, Jin Jiu has been off medication for a long time. This morning, he excitedly sent a message, sharing his joy with the most important person in his heart.

[Director Sheng, the doctor said I’m cured; I’m really cured!] ]

From the exclamation mark, it can be seen how happy Jin Jiu is.

That night, Jin Jiu arranged to meet his parents.

Whether he hoped the company could give him strength or for some other reason, he arranged to meet them at the coffee shop downstairs in the company.

Jin Jiu’s parents were not really bad; they raised him and protected him when he was attacked by antis. It’s just that… They didn’t love him that much.

Coincidentally, when they remarried, it happened to be the darkest period of Jin Jiu’s life.

Sheng Quan doesn’t know if Jin Jiu’s passionate love in the original text is because he can’t accept this truth. But now, at least, he seems to have let go.

Jin Jiu’s face looks healthy; he’s no longer the gloomy little mushroom he used to be. He sits there, not smiling, but there seems to be a light in his eyes.

Naturally, he ordered drinks and desserts for his parents, asking them, “Are you doing well?”

Jin Jiu’s parents look uneasy, exchanging brief words awkwardly like distant relatives who haven’t seen each other in a long time, which is indeed the case.

At first, even after the divorce, they would try their best to take care of this child who had been away from them since childhood. But when they remarried and each had new children, naturally, the second child, who was tender and growing up around them, quickly attracted their attention.

This already scarce care naturally decreased bit by bit.

After Jin Jiu became famous, they only sent congratulatory messages. Perhaps the greatest love they could offer was not to disturb the child they had abandoned.

Facing parents with awkwardness and guilt in their expressions, Jin Jiu blinked, hiding the tears. Controlling this aspect is something he still can’t do very well, but fortunately, his psychologist said it’s normal.

Tears are real, and the smile is real. Jin Jiu smiles and says,

“I just want to tell you that I’m doing well now. You don’t have to worry about me.”

His parents awkwardly respond:

“Okay, okay, as long as you’re doing well.”

Sheng Quan takes a sip of coffee, watching the almost strangers’ meeting scene, and says to Gu Zha, who is also leaning on the bar:

“I used to meet my parents like this.”

In her past life, she was a typical case of having parents but not really having parents. Although blood is thicker than water, one cannot deny that even biological children need time to cultivate feelings.

And apparently, Sheng Quan, who was born into a family where her parents divorced and remarried, did not have the opportunity to cultivate feelings with her parents.

Gu Zha also takes a sip of coffee: “My parents don’t smile at me.”

Sheng Quan hands her coffee over: “Then we’re similar; let’s encourage each other.”

Gu Zha is stunned for a moment before handing over his coffee, gently clinking it with Sheng Quan.

“Encourage each other.”

After a silent moment, he says, “Aren’t you going to ask?”

Sheng Quan looks at Jin Jiu and responds, “Ask what?”

Gu Zhao: “My family, my parents, and why I should break with them; Ryan should have revealed some.”

“He did say some, but I don’t think there’s much to ask. My gossip is usually focused on entertainment news, like An Baixing singing with a voice crack while practicing yesterday. It spread throughout the company so quickly, and I take credit for that.”

Gu Zhao immediately thought of the message he received from Sheng Quan this morning.

【Hahaha, do you know that An Baixing practiced singing and made duck sounds yesterday? Hahaha, it was still recording at the time; I’ll send you the recording to listen to. I laughed so hard, hahaha】

He used to completely ignore these boring bits of gossip. He considered them a waste of time. But, inexplicably, after receiving that message, he couldn’t help but laugh.

Jin Jiu had already bid farewell to his parents; they hadn’t seen each other for a long time, and there wasn’t much to say.

The young man stood up and escorted them out.

Jin Mu took a few steps and couldn’t help turning back. Her eyes were a bit red. She hesitated for a moment and said softly:

“I knew how you got through those years after reading the news.”

“It’s our fault…”

Jin Fu also stopped, and he seemed to want to say something, but in the end, he pursed his lips several times, only lowering his head in guilt.

Jin Jiu was taken aback.

He also said softly, “It’s okay.”

After watching his parents leave, Jin Jiu turned and looked at Sheng Quan at the bar.

Sheng Quan gave him a thumbs-up gesture: “Like!”

She nudged Gu Zhao with her arm.

Gu Zhao nodded helplessly at Jin Jiu.

That was his way of giving approval.

The slightly reddened youth at the corner of his eye smiled very happily.

It’s okay; everything in the past is okay now.

Because I can sing again, I have a new career, a good boss, good friends, and good colleagues.

[ Ding! The host has successfully changed the fate line of the sponsored person by 100%, and the system is upgrading. [Please wait for the system to score.]

Before Sheng Quan could react, the system had already upgraded quickly.

006: [The system score is full; upgrade successful; remove lifespan restriction; remove monthly task restriction]

[Raise feedback ratio, maximum: 300%]
