The Sick Beauty Gave Up Struggling

With his rich professional knowledge, the supervisor quickly won the heart of Miss Yun’s friend, and they immediately finalized the deal. The next day, when the supervisor had something to do, he sent Xia Shu’an to conduct an on-site inspection.

Yun Qingyi’s friend is a rich second-generation who took his family’s start-up capital to start a business. This person has a weak career ambition, but he has loved fiddling with flowers and plants since he was young. Together with his friends, they built a green seedling base.

He doesn’t aim high either but simply says, Just don’t lose money, or don’t lose too much.

Xia Shu’an has seen a lot of losers in the circle. Many of them owed hundreds of millions after taking tens of millions of start-up funds from their parents. When Yun Qingyi talked about her friend’s career plan, he instantly felt that his vision was very far-sighted and practical.

The base is in a rural area on the outskirts. Xia Shu’an and Yun Qingyi drove there in the morning. Before Xia Shu’an entered, the friend was still strutting around: “Xia Shu’an? Isn’t this your love rival? I understand. You brought him to my place because you want me to teach him a lesson, right?”

“No problem!”

The man had a loyal look on his face. He rolled up his sleeves and was about to get started. When he turned around and saw Xia Shu’an in person, his tone changed instantly: “Yun San1He literally called her Third Yun., don’t worry, I will help you snatch him away from Shen Boyan!”

Yun Qingyi spoke the big truth with a calm face: “No, you can’t.”

“Damn it!”

Let’s not mention what the future boss will be like, but things are going really well here. The entire seedling base covers an area of about 200 acres, of which 60% is the tree area and 30% is the shrub area. The boss is not stupid but has a lot of money. He grows expensive seedlings such as ginkgo, autumn maple, and crape myrtle. But including land rental fees, construction fees, irrigation systems, labor management fees, and so on, they all add up to no more than four million. In the words of a rich second generation, “It’s not as expensive as a car I bought on the go.”

Just like this, the future boss has a particularly good mindset. He adheres to the spirit of “earning is earning, and even if I lose money, it’s just a car.” Every day, he treats his employees with a friendly face and talks about his future ideals. In short, he says: I’ll give you guys all the money I earned. I’m not short of money.

The employees had probably never seen such a “simple” boss before, so they immediately patted their chests to show their loyalty, which unexpectedly made the seedling base more prosperous. This shows that nothing can stop people when they want to make money.

There is no lack of people who have had many years of cultivation experience in the garden. Xia Shu’an himself likes to deal with plants and often goes to the school’s experimental field. When he comes here, he feels like he’s in a happy hometown. He demonstrated unprecedented social skills and quickly reached out to the people here.

The rich friend neither knew how to plant trees nor bothered to take care of things, so he let Xia Shu’an talk to the staff in detail while he and Yun Qingyi drank coffee slowly in a lounge surrounded by transparent glass windows.

“How many days are you going to stay here?”

Yun Qingyi: “Three days.”

“Leaving so soon?”

“If I don’t leave, I won’t know what kind of trouble those few at home have caused.”

There are a total of four siblings in Yun Qingyi’s generation. Yun Qingyi is the third-eldest. The eldest is supposed to inherit the family business, but unfortunately, he loves beauty more than the river and the mountains and doesn’t take on any serious jobs. The second eldest is ambitious, but unfortunately he’s a brainless person; Yun Qingyi has the brain, the skills, and outstanding means, but she’s a girl and suffers the disadvantage of her gender; the fourth child at the bottom is only twelve years old, so he will come back to join the family game in ten years.

Now that Yun Qingyi had rarely overpowered her many siblings and occupied the top position in the company, it was naturally impossible for her to let go.

The friend sighed, “You are really a career fanatic.”

Yun Qingyi pulled up the corners of her lips and said elegantly, “I don’t like work either; I just like being in power.”

“Power is something that is invisible and intangible. Is it really so important?” He really can’t put himself in her shoes.

Yun Qingyi didn’t laugh at his whims but just turned to look at him coldly: “Do you know why Shen Boyan rejected my marriage invitation?”

“Because he is a love brain?”

“No.” Yun Qingyi said clearly, word for word: “It’s because he has enough power.”

Friend: “…” What can’t I seem to refute?

The future boss cannot deny the fact that President Shen is rich and powerful against his will. He can only find his lost dignity in President Shen’s boyfriend, who has no money or power.

Future boss: “Now I only have a 100-acre base. Next year, let it become 200 acres; no, 500 acres!”

Xia Shu’an: “The boss is so awesome!”

Future boss: “I want everyone in our company to buy a car and a house and then reach the pinnacle of life!”

Xia Shu’an: “As expected of you, I’ll follow the boss!”

Future boss: “Who is more powerful, Shen Boyan or me?”

Xia Shu’an: “Of course it’s you!”

Yun Qingyi: “…”

In the last thirty minutes of the conversation, Xia Shu’an closed his eyes and echoed the future boss’s ambition to dominate the market. He timely praised the boss’s courage and intelligence to explore the market, firmly demonstrating his determination to stand with the boss and look forward to the future (money).

Finally, today’s visit ended with the boss’s smiling voice saying, “Very good, very good, everyone.”

Walking out of the gate of the base, Xia Shu’an changed the smile on his face. For the first time, he felt the sadness of a migrant worker from his heartfelt fatigue. Although it may only be as small as the average of the public.

Yun Qingyi couldn’t help but find it interesting as she watched him wipe the non-existent sweat from his forehead.

“You don’t need to be nervous about him. His family is not very rich or powerful.”

Xia Shu’an said honestly, “But he does hold the key to my food and clothing.”

“But don’t you have Shen Boyan? He won’t separate himself from your finances, right?”

Xia Shu’an thought for a moment and said, “Maybe it’s two different things between being completely dependent on a man and having money of your own to be independent but still dependent on a man.”

Yun Qingyi was thoughtful.

“My brother also had a girlfriend. When he cheated on her, she slapped him hard. She said the same thing at the time.”

Xia Shu’an smiled and said, “Look, everyone’s the same.”

Yun Qingyi disagreed: “But there must be something different about you; otherwise, why would Shen Boyan like you so much?”

Regarding this issue, Xia Shu’an himself is also very confused. After all, in his opinion, except for his face, which is a bit special, he has the temperament of an ordinary person. Maybe because of the environment in which he grew up, he is a bit more aloof than ordinary people.

He hesitated for a long time and finally said, “Maybe it’s because of my face.”

Yun Qingyi stared at his face, nodded after a while, and said, “It’s very possible.”

“…”

The two walked out of the seedling base and returned to the place where they parked their car in the morning. Yun Qingyi asked, “Where to go next?”

“There are no work arrangements for the afternoon.”

“So you want to see Shen Boyan? Say hello to him for me. I have something to do at noon, so I won’t go with you.”

Yun Qingyi said it calmly, not feeling that this sentence sounded strange at all.

Xia Shu’an: “…Okay.”

Xia Shu’an drove to the company alone. Shen Boyan had told him before that he could just use the special elevator that went directly to the president’s floor. Shen Boyan was in a meeting, so he waited in the office for a while. About twenty minutes later, the said person walked in from the door.

“You’re here.”

The man put his notebook on the table in front of the sofa, poured a cup of tea made by Xia Shu’an, drank it in one gulp, and then said calmly, “Where did you go this morning?”

Xia Shu’an’s eyebrows moved. He didn’t believe that Shen Boyan didn’t know.

The young man sat comfortably on the sofa and said obediently, “I met Yun Qingyi’s friend together and agreed on the cooperation. The contract will be officially signed next week.”

Shen Boyan sneered: “She is quite enthusiastic.”

Yun Qingyi now has a position in Xia Shu’an’s heart. She has been promoted from the third miss of the Yun family to a friend of his future boss. Xia Shu’an can’t help but speak for her: “Third Miss is a very nice person. She is very serious and fair in her work.”

She introduced business to him regardless of past grudges; what a good person!

Shen Boyan looked at him with a faint smile and said, “You must have been bribed by her. You haven’t seen her methods yet.”

“Forget it; let’s not talk about this anymore. It’s 12 o’clock. Let’s go eat.”

After saying that, he stood up and walked to the elevator. Xia Shu’an followed him half a step behind, with a calm and leisurely posture, a clear smile from his bright black pupils, and his whole body exuding a slightly relaxed atmosphere due to complete freedom.

Xia Shu’an had turned a blind eye to Yun Qingyi’s search for him the day before yesterday and returned late last night because of something else. The displeasure accumulated in Shen Boyan’s heart had reached the point where he wanted to lock Xia Shu’an to his bed and warn him to figure out whose person he really was.

But because Xia Shu’an is in a rare happy mood recently, unlike how he was all sluggish at the beginning, his full pupils are filled with light, and even his chin has grown fleshy, Shen Boyan vaguely felt that he didn’t want to ruin his good mood, so he held back.

Xia Shu’an was walking with his head lowered when suddenly the man half a step ahead stopped. He turned slightly and stretched out a hand.

Xia Shu’an was startled, and then he stretched out his hand naturally, palms overlapping, and heat spread over him.

The two walked into the restaurant, holding hands one after the other. At noon, there were many people in the restaurant. Wenhui’s senior executives had all met Xia Shu’an and treated him as the boss’s wife. As soon as they saw him, they came up to him with a smile. Before they had even taken two steps, they suddenly saw the two of them holding hands tightly.

#This is also ** love, right#

​#Boss, you turn out to be this kind of person#

​#Hey, who doesn’t want to publicly show off their love in the company#

Between the flashes of lightning and fire, a few thoughts quickly flashed through the visitor’s head, but he was worthy of being able to reach a high-level position. He immediately controlled the expression on his face, put on a warm and polite smile, and said, “Hello, President Shen, Mr. Xia.”

Xia Shu’an nodded. “Hello.”

“Then please take your time.”

He doesn’t have the guts to destroy the boss’s two-person world.

Xia Shu’an had experienced more strange gazes in his last life and had already practiced the copper skin and iron bones technique. He didn’t pay attention to other people’s looks. After sitting down, he ordered food on his mobile phone and chatted with Shen Boyan.

In the afternoon, he took a short rest in Shen Boyan’s small room. It should be noted here that although the two of them rested together, they just laid on the same bed and simply slept.

Shen Boyan is not that big of a beast yet.

At around two o’clock in the afternoon, Xia Shu’an walked out of the lounge and said, “I’m going back to school. See you tonight.”

After Shen Boyan approved a new project, he said, “Let’s have dinner together tonight.”

“Okay, just call me in advance.”

Looking at his gentle and well-behaved appearance, the restless and unhappy mood of the past few days finally eased a little. Shen Boyan stood up from his seat and gently caressed Xia Shu’an’s face with his fingertips, leaving a shallow kiss on his lips. “Go.”

1He literally called her Third Yun.
