Chapter 7: Going to School\n

When the two uninvited guests, Su Shan and Xu Feng, went to Jingyuan to cause trouble, it was naturally not hidden from Su Jingcheng.\n

Usually, Su Jingcheng was busy with company affairs, so he’d naturally care less about such trivial matters; most matters concerning the family were left to Uncle Fu, and Su Jingcheng felt relieved that the other half of the Su family would not be able to make too much trouble.\n

But it’s different now with Su Xi at home.\n

“Why did those two run to Jingyuan this time?” Su Jingcheng’s voice on the phone was cold enough to freeze someone to death.\n

“They came to discuss Master Su’s₁ birthday.”\n

Su Jingcheng snorted coldly. “Asking for money?”\n

“Yes,” Uncle Fu answered, “I estimate that they wanted to use the opportunity of Master Su’s birthday to profit from us.”\n

“That money should be given, but as for the rest—” Su Jingcheng narrowed his eyes and said frostily, “Let them come to me for it.”\n

Upon hearing this, Uncle Fu chuckled twice. “Understood.”\n

“Did they see Xixi?” Su Jingchen asked again. This was what he was most concerned about.\n

“Yes…” Although news of the return of the Su family’s daughter was not yet announced, to add Su Xi into the household registration and to enroll her in school, there were things that couldn’t be concealed. Those who had been watching this side of the Su family would naturally not miss the news of Su Xi’s return.\n

Uncle Fu didn’t want those two to see Su Xi.\n

Only…\n

“Su Shan and Xu Feng arrived suddenly and saw her just as the young lady came downstairs.”\n

Knowing that he couldn’t hide it, he simply told Su Jingcheng what had happened that afternoon. “I was nearby, so they didn’t dare do anything else besides saying some awful words.”\n

Uncle Fu hesitated on whether to tell Su Jingchen the exact words they used.\n

On the other side, Su Jingcheng’s face was already frozen. “Say it.”\n

“It is like this…” Uncle Fu selected a few sentences to tell Su Jingcheng.\n

Before Uncle Fu even finished speaking, a sudden “bang” from the sound of things hitting the table reverberated through the phone.\n

Although he couldn’t see the situation on the other side, Uncle Fu knew that the young master must have been very angry to behave like this.\n

He didn’t dare relay the rest to the young master.\n

Su Jingcheng was indeed extremely angry.\n

The last time he got angry because of his family was when Su Zhengqi and Su Shan came to the Su Yuan Group to take shares after his parents’ accident.  \n

After that, Su Jingcheng stopped caring about those people. To be precise, he stopped paying attention to those from the other side of the Su family, because no matter what they did, they were simply dancing clowns in the eyes of Su Jingcheng.\n

But that doesn’t mean they should ever provoke him!\n

“How’s Xixi?” Su Jingcheng’s mouth pursed into a straight line. Right now, aside from anger, he felt more nervous and worried; his sister had just been found and was not used to her new home, and he wasn’t sure if she had been frightened by those two women.\n

“Do not worry, master, it seemed that the young lady did not take their words to heart.”\n

Su Xi probably didn’t even pay attention to them.\n

That was what Uncle Fu said in his heart as he glanced at Su Xi from afar, who was eating in the dining room in a good mood, her legs swaying lightly on the edge of the seat.\n

“En.” Su Jingcheng replied. “Let me give an order: from now on, when those people come to Jingyuan again, directly invite them to leave, no matter what their reason is for coming. And arrange more people for the school as well, don’t let these irrelevant people become an eyesore to Xixi.”\n

“Yes, I will arrange it.”\n

—\n

After hanging up, Su Jingcheng spoke to the opposite side. “Continue.”\n

At this moment, the two staff members who had been standing aside were already trembling with fright at the appearance of their chairman just now. They had almost forgotten what they were supposed to report.\n

“Y-yes, Chairman. Here’s the situation: the main part of the project has been completed, and the subsequent image project can also finish as scheduled…”\n

………\n

When Wei Dongzhou came in, he saw Su Jingcheng sitting at his desk with a calm face while the two employees were nervously reporting. Even at a distance of five meters, he could see the cold sweat on their foreheads.\n

He almost thought there was a problem with their project.\n

But listening to the reports, it seemed like it was progressing quite smoothly.\n

After Su Jingcheng asked the two to leave, Wei Dongzhou sat over and asked, “Chairman Su, whatever happened to make you so angry?”\n

His face was so dark that it could scare a child to tears.\n

Su Jingcheng put down the pen in his hands and looked at Wei Dongzhou. “Speed up the progress of the project and find a way to advance the signing time.”\n

“Damn you!” When he heard those words, Wei Dongzhou glared at him and cursed. “Advance? Su Jingcheng, you want to kill me!”\n

Wei Dongzhou jumped up from the sofa and pointed at his eyes. “Look, what are these?!”\n

Su Jingcheng: “What?”\n

Wei Dongzhou: “Dark circles under my eyes! Can’t you see such obvious dark circles?”\n

“The original plan was two and a half weeks and compressing it down to one week was already too much, but you actually want me to advance it?” For the past few days, he had been working overtime every day, suffering from kidney deficiency. If it was sped up even more, he was afraid that he’d die doing this project.\n

Wei Dongzhou slapped the table, his face red. He yelled a few more sentences at Su Jingcheng, but finally compromised.\n

“Fortunately, I’m not your employee! If I were, I’d fucking sue you right now with the labor law!” Wei Dongzou glared at Su Jingcheng discontentedly and cursed lowly.\n

But the truth was, they actually could speed up the project—otherwise the opportunity in the market would be stolen and they wouldn’t be able to shed tears over it.\n

Thinking of this, a sneer flashed across Wei Dongzhou’s face.\n

—The cooperation between the Wei family and the Su Yuan Group in Country Y was a new type of international project. It was never a project favored by people in the industry, and there were still many looking forward to seeing their “good show”.\n

It’s just that Wei Dongzhou was working on the project personally. He knew that the project wouldn’t lose money and he and Su Jingcheng would probably be the first to gain.\n

Su Yuan and the Wei family never hid this project. They didn’t care if others followed suit. But he never expected that someone else would do something so “shameless” so close to the beginning.\n

Su Yuan and the Weis started this project in Country Y, while the Shen Xing Group started the same project in Country G. From concept to project planning, they had almost entirely copied their model, and the progress of the other party was almost on par with them.\n

“This Shen Wenbo hadn’t made much progress in recent years, but his face really has gotten thicker and thicker,” Wei Dongzhou spat out the sentence disgustedly.\n

He said that to relate with his friend, but he found that Su Jingcheng had in fact not paid any attention to him, but rather stared at the computer screen intently.\n

“Su Jingcheng, what are you looking at so seriously?” Wei Dongzhou leaned over.\n

Wei Dongzhou’s sight fell on the screen.\n

[What should new students pay attention to when entering school on the first day?]\n

[Will transfer students be uncomfortable taking classes at the new school?]\n

[First things students should do when they report to school]\n

[What should second-year students prepare for?]\n

[How to overcome anxiety when going to a new school?]\n

…\n

There were many such related searches in the history below.\n

Wei Dongzhou: …\n

Only the little princess of the Su family who’d just returned could make his friend so concerned.\n

“Isn’t it just going to school? Why are you so nervous?” Wei Dongzhou gave Su Jingcheng a blank look and said with a teasing tone.\n

He’d known Su Jingcheng for so many years now. It was no exaggeration to say that he’d never seen Su Jingcheng nervous, even when the Su Yuan Group was competing for a massive project. Wei Dongzhou almost thought that he lacked emotions.\n

Unexpectedly, Su Jingcheng also had a “seven inches”₂, which was previously lost.\n

Su Jingcheng ignored Wei Dongzhou, but he continued with a relaxed expression: “Seriously, aren’t you exaggerating this? Can anyone bully someone from the Su family?”\n

Although Wei Dongzhou’s tone was unrestrained, he had a point, and Su Jingcheng felt much more relaxed.\n

—\n

However, it turns out that Su Jingcheng wasn’t the only one who was overly anxious.\n

Early in the morning, while sending Su Xi to school, the worry and tension on Uncle Fu’s face could not be hidden.\n

He’d watched Su Xi’s birth. The family, including him, treated Su Xi as their treasure. After losing Su Xi, there wasn’t a day that went by without Uncle Fu worrying, and now that she’s been found, he was naturally all too nervous.\n

“Has Xiaoxi brought everything needed for school?”\n

 “I’ve got them all.”\n

“That’s good. It doesn’t matter if you forget though, just call home and Uncle Fu will send it to you. Do you have your phone with you?” Uncle Fu asked again.\n

“I brought it.” To show that she really did have it, she took it out of her pocket and waved it in front of Uncle Fu.\n

Naturally, it wasn’t the same phone that she’d used before, since Uncle Fu still never knew that she had a phone previously. This was a new phone prepared by him for Su Xi yesterday. It was the latest smartphone on the market.\n

“Keep it safe, be careful not to lose it,” The phone was custom made with a special positioning app installed. “And call me if you need anything. The home number, my number, and the bodyguard’s number are all in the address book.”\n

Uncle Fu smiled at Su Xi and continued: “The phone number of the young master is also in it, Xiaoxi. If you want to talk to the young master, call directly with your phone and he will pick up.”\n

Su Xi: “…” Can I block him?\n

“Xiaoxi should try to get along with her classmates at school, alright? If there are any conflicts with classmates, do not fear. If you cannot handle it, find a teacher, or tell your family. Eat well at school. If the school’s food is not to your taste, just tell Uncle Fu, and we will send food from home…” Uncle Fu looked at the skinny Su Xi and couldn’t help but nag.\n

Until the car stopped at the school gate.\n

“I remember all of it. Don’t worry, Uncle Fu, I’ll be fine at school.” Su Xi tilted her head and said to the worried old man next to her.\n

“I’m heading in. Uncle Fu, you should go back soon.” After saying her goodbyes to Uncle Fu, Su Xi jumped out of the car and walked towards the school with a hint of expectation.\n

<hr class="wp-block-separator has-css-opacity">\nFootnotes:\n

1: Master Su, as in Su Jingcheng and Su Xi’s grandfather. Not to be confused with Su Jingcheng himself, who is referred to as the young master. \n

2: “Seven inches” refers to seven inches down from the head of a snake. That’s supposedly where the heart of the snake lies, which is also the dire weakness of the snake, where a strike may be fatal. In short, it refers to Su Jingcheng’s point of weakness and vulnerability, which is Su Xi. \n
