Chapter 95: I’ll Beat You to Death

As soon as the introduction ended, the office area erupted in chatter.

When Shen Qingshu heard it, he thought that would not do.

They were discussing matters right in front of the future boss.

That would only prove his management skills were weak.

When he thought about it, he frowned.

Shen Qingshu wore a serious face. “It’s work time, why are you whispering? Get back to work.”

When everyone heard this, they fell silent.

They immediately quieted down and buried themselves in their tasks.

However, each of them felt puzzled.

What was up with the boss today?

He seemed like a completely different person.

Wasn’t he usually quite gentle?

They silently repeated the names Shen Qingxuan and Shen Qingshu.

Their names sounded almost the same.

Were the two perhaps brothers-in-law?

Even if they were brothers-in-law, this still felt excessive.

After he saw that everyone had been cowed, Shen Qingshu secretly observed the expressions on the two faces.

When he noticed no change, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

As Jiangbei Group was the top conglomerate in Jiangbei City, it strictly banned back-door dealings.

Besides, his family once gave Shen Qingxuan’s family all kinds of trouble.

Shen Haiyang was the exception.

Don’t ask; the reason simply could not be explained.

Shen Qingshu quickly replaced his look with a smile.

“Brother Xuan, I’ll show you around the job next.”

Shen Qingxuan nodded.

He held Jiang Yubing’s hand and followed behind.

…

After they finished familiarizing themselves with the workflow, the three of them returned to the faculty office.

Shen Qingxuan spoke calmly. “Are you managing all right?”

“It is a bit too much, but I can still handle it.”

“Then that’s good. You know I still have to attend school, so I can’t help you much.”

“I have to count on you to hold the fort.”

Shen Qingshu patted his chest and vowed. “No problem, Brother Xuan, I can handle it.”

He had no choice; after all, he was just an employee.

Whatever you said was what it would be.

Shen Qingxuan softly uttered an “Mm.”

Then he said, “You probably know about our school’s sponsorship, right?”

“I have heard a little about it.”

Shen Qingxuan continued. “Bingbing’s grandma said we should handle this, but we don’t know anything and need someone to support us…”

He stopped before finishing the sentence.

All that talk about support was pure nonsense he made up.

Didn’t anyone notice that even Jiang Yubing beside him nearly burst out laughing?

Shen Qingxuan stared straight at him, and the meaning could not have been clearer.

Shen Qingshu lowered his head and pondered.

Was this a test for him?

If so, wouldn’t he have to run back and forth?

If he could seize this opportunity…

then he could move another step forward.

He was still young.

He decided to just go for it.

After he thought it through, Shen Qingshu hesitated no more.

“I kind of miss the good times at school too; I should go take a look around.”

Seeing his goal accomplished, Shen Qingxuan stood up and patted his shoulder. “Then I’ll be counting on you from now on, cousin!”

Shen Qingshu brightened with delight.

From the sound of it, he would be the man’s right-hand from now on.

So what did the small hardships he suffered now count for!

Shen Qingshu was, after all, just a newcomer in the workplace.

When he heard that sentence, he felt brimming with motivation.

Shen Qingshu promptly replied, “No problem.”

Neither of the two stayed long; after a brief meeting with Shen Haiyang, they walked out of the company.

Remembering the way the idiot husband had just bluffed, Jiang Yubing couldn’t help teasing, “Husband, I didn’t expect you to be that good at selling dreams!”

Shen Qingxuan spread his hands. “I didn’t do anything. He probably imagined it all himself.”

Instead of continuing the topic, Jiang Yubing changed the subject and asked, “Husband, where are we going to have fun now?”

Shen Qingxuan pondered for quite a while but still failed to come up with anything.

Jiang Yubing also fell into thought.

Although the two had already gotten their marriage certificate, and their relationship had taken another step forward, she still felt that something was missing.

A photo of the two of them on the lock screen suddenly made her realize something.

That’s right!

They still hadn’t taken their wedding photos yet.

Wedding photos were a sacred symbol of marriage, just as Jerusalem was the spiritual origin of Western civilization.

“Husband, let’s go take wedding photos, okay?”

After she spoke, Jiang Yubing looked at him with an expectant face.

She waited for Shen Qingxuan’s response.

Wedding photos, huh…

Shen Qingxuan murmured to himself a few times.

Given Bingbing’s pace toward wanting a child, it did seem time to take them.

Becoming a super dad in college sounded pretty good.

Glancing sideways at the expectant look in Jiang Yubing’s eyes, Shen Qingxuan couldn’t help joking, “Wife, you’re being a bit obvious.”

Jiang Yubing put on an indifferent face. “Tsk—we are already husband and wife.”

“Besides, maybe we already have one…”

After speaking, she placed Shen Qingxuan’s hand on her belly.

“Really?”

“Let me listen.”

She watched the idiot husband squat down and put on an act.

Jiang Yubing couldn’t hold back and let out a snort of laughter.

After waiting for a moment, Jiang Yubing asked with a laugh, “Well, is there really one?”

Shen Qingxuan stood up and shook his head. “Maybe it’s too noisy outside. I’ll listen carefully again once we get home.”

Jiang Yubing’s face flushed bright red in an instant.

How could the idiot husband say such things in public?

It was truly mortifying.

Still, it had been so frequent lately…

Thinking of that, Jiang Yubing asked worriedly, “Can your body handle it?”

“Hm?”

Shen Qingxuan froze when he heard that.

What was all this about!

How did it end up on this topic?

He was a proper man.

But Bingbing truly was full of surprises!

When he first met her, he, like most people, thought

that aloof and icy were her synonyms.

He never imagined a scene like the one before him now.

Shen Qingxuan teased, “Wife, are you having dirty thoughts?”

“Husband, what did you say?”

“The wind is strong, I can’t hear you.”

Seeing her act dumb and innocent, Shen Qingxuan had no intention of letting her off like that.

He leaned close to Jiang Yubing’s ear and repeated, “I said, are you having dirty thoughts?”

“You…”

Jiang Yubing let go of his hand in a huff and turned her face to the side.

“I’m ignoring you for two—”

Before she finished, perhaps thinking two minutes was too long, she corrected herself, “One minute then.”

Shen Qingxuan looked at her adorable expression, and his heart melted.

Bingbing’s pouting face looked truly adorable.

Shen Qingxuan shifted position, braced both hands on his knees, and faced her with a broad smile.

Jiang Yubing managed less than thirty seconds before her face broke.

“Why are you looking at me?”

“Because you look kind of good.”

“Only kind of?”

“Extremely good-looking.”

Hearing the idiot husband praise her, Jiang Yubing’s smile was harder to hold back than the recoil of an AK.

“That’s more like it.”

“So, wife, are you still angry?”

Jiang Yubing crossed her arms. “Hmph!”

“Since you praised my looks, I’ll reluctantly forgive you.”

“Is it that reluctant?”

“Then I’ll take back what I just said.”

Jiang Yubing immediately objected. “You dare!”

Shen Qingxuan laughed without saying a word.

Seeing the idiot husband like this, Jiang Yubing suddenly sprinted on the spot.

“I’ll beat you to death.”

The two were not far apart, and besides, there was no way Bingbing truly wanted to hit him.

So Shen Qingxuan just watched her charge over without dodging.

Jiang Yubing crashed entirely into Shen Qingxuan’s arms.

Shen Qingxuan staggered back a few steps and clutched his chest theatrically. “Ow… it hurts so much!”

“Jiang Yubing, you have to take responsibility for me.”
