Working: Start by earning the boss a hundred million!

Chapter 136 They always sleep together
This time, Shang Xingjian didn't give her a perfunctory response, and there wasn't even a hint of perfunctoriness in his expression.

He was just thinking, thinking about how to answer the question.

Shen Luo and Zhi Huihui hid behind and watched the two people who were almost falling together in the moonlight. Zhi Huihui clicked her tongue and Shen Luo was also watching with his chin in his hand.

"What do you think they're talking about?" Shen Luo had never seen his boss so seriously thinking about things before.

"Talking about love, what else could it be? Those actions, those expressions, if it's not talking about love, what else could it be but work?" Zhihuihui said with the air of an experienced person, "This little bird is still too green."

Shen Luo: "..." We're all just little birds, what's with this bird acting so high and mighty?
But how come she didn't know when the boss and Cheng Mai confessed their feelings?

How did they start talking about love?
Shang Xingjian didn't know how long he had been thinking; it seemed like a long time had passed, yet it also seemed like only a moment had elapsed.

"I didn't kill Bo Ren, but Bo Ren died because of me." This was the answer Shang Xingjian gave after careful consideration.

"If you had known of his existence at that time, would you still have taken action?"

Will they still resort to violence?
Without much thought, Shang Xingjian replied, "Yes."

Often, what seems like a choice isn't a choice at all; there's only one path ahead, and that's the only one they can take.

Cheng Mai paused for a moment, seemingly surprised that he would answer the question so decisively.

She lowered her eyes, a nameless pain throbbing in her chest.

I don't know if it was because of the merchant's cold indifference, or something else.

The merchant simply changed his position and continued to lie there, but remained silent.

Cheng Mai didn't ask any further questions, and suggested they watch the moonlight together.

With Zhihuihui joining, the trip progressed very quickly, but the result was that they didn't have enough people.

Cheng Mai slammed the job posting onto Shang Xingjian's desk, pressing him to look at it. "Brother, why don't you take a look at what kind of rubbish you're getting? What? You want to go fishing?" "No, no, no." Shang Xingjian quietly put away his fishing rod, not even glancing at the resumes. "I've been looking for people these past few days. I just found some this morning, really, we can go fishing in a bit."

"Let's go now." Cheng Mai didn't believe his promise of a moment.

The shopkeeper glanced at Shen Luo at the door, but Shen Luo immediately looked to the side, having heard nothing.

Hu Hu pretended to leave with the documents in his arms, but his eyes were actually looking back the whole time.

Cheng Mai stopped him in his tracks. "There's nothing the company needs you to do, you don't need to look."

Merchant Jian reluctantly stood up. "They're at the Cheng family's house. Let's go."

Cheng Mai paused for a moment, not immediately following up, "He and Cheng Ming have joined forces?"

"It's unlikely we'll join forces, but Xuanji always acts on impulse. We'll only know what he's planning after we meet him." Shang Xingjian was quite confident about this, and after keeping Xuanji out of the picture for so long, it was indeed time to go see him.

Cheng Mai and Shang Xingjian went out, but instead of the Cheng family's old house, they went to another villa.

The equation for this place is unknown.

Cheng Mai looked at Shang Xingjian, as if asking him why he knew about this place.

"You and Cheng Ming have met privately?" Cheng Mai looked at Shang Xingjian with a scrutinizing gaze.

"How could that be? I'm with you 24/7, we've never been apart even when we sleep. How could you not know whether I've seen him or not?"

Cheng Mai: "Who slept with you!"

Merchant Jian sighed, "Why are you still denying it?"
