Shen Yu, who was paying attention to the phone, did not notice that expressions of the employees were all as if they had been struck by lightning. He quickly went to the reception room which was located next to the conference room.
After closing the sliding glass door, he parked the wheelchair in front of several bright windows.
The whole process lasted less than five minutes, not too long, but not too short.
During this period, Tang Li on the other side of the phone never made any sound.
He was so quiet that Shen Yu couldn’t even hear his breathing.
“Chestnut?” Shen Yu called out softly. He paused, then moved his mobile phone away from his ear and looked at the screen. The phone read that the call was still active. How strange. “Chestnut? Can you hear me?”
After a long time, he finally heard a low, husky voice in his ear: “Yes?”
The voice sounded a little unhappy.
Like the person speaking was vexed.
Shen Yu, conscious of this, became nervous and quickly asked, “What’s wrong with you? What happened in the school?”
Tang Li answered in a low voice, “Nothing.”
Shen Yu frowned seriously and warned, “Don’t lie. I don’t like children who lie.”
When Tang Li, who was in low spirits, heard Shen Yu say this, he instantly became energetic, even a little nervous and said, “I didn’t lie. It was a puppy that lied.”
Just now, Shen Yu, who was still holding his phone, burst out laughing. The lovely look of Tang Li’s round eyes appeared in his mind, and he felt itchy at once.
He really wanted to touch the soft hair of the little villain.
After trying to suppress the strong desire surging into his heart, Shen Yu calmed down and then spoke, “You sounded like you were unhappy.”
Tang Li urgently retorted, “No I didn’t.”
Shen Yu countered, “You did.”
“I didn’t.”
“Yes, you did”
“I really didn’t.”
“Originally you did.”
After several rounds, Tang Li quieted down.
Just when Shen Yu thought that the little villain would remain silent, he heard the other side sigh like an old man and whisper: “School got out two hours ago…”
Shen Yu: “…”
This is the first time that he has raised a child in his two lives. He has no idea what time students are supposed to leave school, and he had forgotten to ask the principal and the teacher.
“Would you wait a little longer? I’ll pick you up.” Shen Yu touched his nose, subconsciously softening his voice, like an old father coaxing his children. “I promise I will remember the times you go to and from school and your schedule for next time!”
Between these words, there are some pleasant meanings.
After all, the other party is a powerful villain in the future. Indirectly, he destroyed Shen Yu’s company and directly, he took his life.
Shen Yu is troubled whenever he thinks of the original fate of the villain.
He just wants to be an ordinary rich man, and he doesn’t want to be involved in the triangle love between the villain and the male and female leads, which has as many twists as a mountain road.
However, Tang Li had no idea what Shen Yu was thinking. He was stunned when he heard Shen Yu’s soft words.
His disobedient heart began to thump again.
Only after a long time did it finally slow down.
“You don’t have to come over.” He whispered to Shen Yu, “I can go back by myself. I know the way to the house.”
Shen Yu ignored Tang Li’s words and started offering him flattering words without restraint: “Oh, my Chestnut is so smart that at such a young age he knows how to go home.”
“…” Tang Li helplessly made a solemn statement: “I’m not small, I’m already ten years old.”
“Yes, yes, ten years old.” Shen Yu smiled and said, “Not small at all.”
“…” Tang Li knew Shen Yu had not listened to his words, so he gave up the struggle.
When Shen Yu saw that Tang Li was no longer angry about not being picked up, he was relieved and said, “Wait for me at school. When I arrive, I will call you. Don’t leave school or follow strangers.”
When he told this, Shen Yu felt that his whole body was covered with the glorious image of a loving father.
Ah…
Raising children really is a bittersweet experience.
Tang Li was silent for a long time: “… I know.”
After hanging up the phone, Shen Yu returned to the conference room in a wheelchair.
He didn’t know what had happened just now. The desks and chairs in front of him had collapsed to the ground. Documents and pens were thrown everywhere. Ten or so tall security guards stood in front of the conference room like giant mountains.
As for the leaders of the previous protests, they were all sitting in their seats with bruised noses and swollen faces, seeming somewhat pitiful.
After seeing Shen Yu come in, Kang Lin, who seemed to be in a daze, instantly returned to his indifferent expression. He turned around and said to Shen Yu, “Master Shen, this side has been handled properly.”
Obviously, it was handled by force.
But Shen Yu did not care about Kang Lin’s way of solving the problem. He glanced coldly at all the trembling people who were watching him. He said, “That’s all for today. You’re dismissed.”
The voice fell, but the people in the conference room seemed to be frozen and motionless, fearing that the first person to get up would be killed directly by Shen Yu.
Unfortunately, Shen Yu had no time to care about the staff’s psychological feelings. He didn’t wait to manipulate the wheelchair to leave the meeting room.
He’s going to pick up his child at school.
“Mr. Shen!” Someone shouted behind him.
Shen Yu stopped helplessly. Although he was a little upset, he turned his wheelchair and looked around.
The marketing manager, who had made the most noise before and claimed to be applying for labor arbitration, stood up. He tried to approach Shen Yu and was rudely pushed back by the black-faced security guard before he could even take two more steps.
Shen Yu put his hands on his knees and listened attentively as if he were saying, “Say it.”
“Mr. Shen, I don’t want to leave my job. I’m still paying my mortgage and car loan. There are also four old people and two children in my family who need support. If I lose my job, my whole family will collapse!”
The marketing manager was beaten the hardest. His right eye was black, and his mouth was bloody.
He had lost all his madness from the previous uproar. With tears in his eyes, he started humbly currying favor with Shen Yu, “Mr. Shen, you’re a fair and great man, if I have done something wrong before, just say it and I will correct it. Even if you deduct my salary, please don’t fire me…”
The other employees were touched, and behind him the group of people who had also been beaten began to echo his words in a low voice.
It looked pitiful.
Even Shen Yu would have thought they were victims if it hadn’t been for the obvious black and blue and bloodstains on the faces of security guards.
Shen Yu smiled lightly, with strong mockery in his eyes, he slowly opened his mouth: “As the managers of the various departments of the company, you not only did not do your required jobs, but instead actively supported the creation of rumors. You usually make mistakes in your work. However, because I know you have served for the company for many years, I was willing to close one eye. But make no mistake, my bottom line is not low enough to allow you to actively slander me!”
Speaking of this final point, Shen Yu’s voice became more and more deep.
The group of rioters, including the marketing managers, were finished.
Now, they know they had really kicked the iron plate [1].
“The Personnel Department has been given a hundred reasons for having you leave. If you are interested, you can ask them.” With that, Shen Yu paused for a moment, then turned his eyes and laughed. “And, I always welcome you to apply for labor arbitration.”
After that, Shen Yu left the meeting room without turning back.
The employees in the office area seemed to have heard the news coming from the conference room. Sitting in their positions with blank faces, they dared not to even breathe in the current atmosphere.
It was not until Shen Yu took the elevator downstairs that everyone’s nerves finally relaxed.
It seems that the management of the company is going to change a lot.
Mr. Shen doesn’t always come to the company, but when he does, it’s amazing.
Everyone was silently shrieking inside, but they dared not talk about it anymore. They were afraid that if they were not careful, they would end up like the people in the conference room.
————————-
When Shen Yu returned to his office, Uncle Zhang was sitting on the sofa reading and waiting to leave.
The clock on the wall had already moved towards 6:30 p.m., which seemed earlier than the normal time for students to leave school.
“Let’s go.” Shen Yu returned his cell phone to Uncle Zhang after holding on to it for a day.
Before they came to the elevator, they happened to meet Kang Lin, who had just come back from the upstairs conference room. Shen Yu suddenly remembered something and told Kang Lin, “Go and help me buy some electronic products, mobile tablets and laptops, and send them to my home after you have bought them.”
“All right.” Kang Lin thought Shen Yu was buying these for himself and asked, “What does Mr. Shen want?”
Shen Yu was somewhat confused. After thinking about it, he said, “Just buy it if you think a ten-year-old boy will like it.”
“…”
Kang Lin guessed that his boss was going to throw money towards Tang Li again. He wanted to tell Shen Yu that ten-year-old children should not have these things. Instead, they should study hard and pay attention to their education.
But for Shen Yu, who is addicted to spending money to raise his baby, these words would be in vain.
“Understood, Master Shen,” Kang Lin said with a complicated expression.
If Tang Li is a mobile game, his boss is a diamond level player [2].
Ah~~
He also wants to be Shen Yu’s son.
When Uncle Zhang and Shen Yu drove to the school, it was already 7 o’clock in the evening. Large orange and red clouds spread in the sky, as if they had stained the air with a tinge of red.
Tang Li did not leave, the principal and several teachers did not dare to leave in advance, and one after another stayed in the classroom to accompany Tang Li.
Unfortunately, Tang Li’s face was very ugly, and there was a low pressure emitting from all over his body.
The villain sat silently in his seat, eyebrows lowered, corners of his mouth stretched in a straight line, a look that indicated that he would be very unpleasant to provoke.
The principal and the teachers did not go forward to talk to Tang Li but instead sat around the corners of the classroom chatting.
Suddenly, they heard the familiar sound of a wheelchair rolling in the corridor outside, Tang Li raised his head sharply, and his expression became joyful at a speed too fast for the naked eye to comprehend.
Before the principals and teachers could even respond, Tang Li rushed out of the classroom like a bullet.
