He plays a domineering CEO in a short drama, starting by educating his employees about the law.

Shen Qingxi asked in confusion, "Your boss? I know him?"

The store manager said, "Young Master Shen, my boss's name is Bai Shuo. You don't know him yet, but he has long admired you. It's a pity that our boss is not in Jiangcheng right now. However, when he heard that you were coming, he repeatedly told me to take good care of you!"

He'll meet with you when he returns to Jiangcheng!

Shen Qingxi quickly considered his social circle.

Bai Shuo? What a load of rubbish!

Good name!

Although the name was nice, Shen Qingxi was certain that he didn't know this Bai Shuo.

Bah, it's Bai Shuo.

While Shen Qingxi was talking to the store manager, bottles of wine were already placed on the table.

The store manager said, "Young Master Shen, please have fun. If you need anything, just call me anytime!"

I won't bother you any longer.

Shen Qingxi nodded: "Okay, please thank your boss for me."

The store manager nodded, then turned and left.

Su Qing walked over: "What? You know their boss?"

Shen Qingxi shook his head: "It's obvious, I don't know him."

Su Qing said, "This boss is quite generous, spending hundreds of thousands just to be friends with you?"

Is your friendship that valuable?

Shen Qingxi leaned back on the sofa: "If he really just wanted my friendship, that would be simple. But I'm afraid what he wants isn't that simple!"

Su Qing asked in confusion, "What do you mean?"

Shen Qingxi said, "It's obvious. I've been here before, but the boss has never shown up."

Think about it, why did he show up this time as soon as I arrived? How am I any different from the original me?

Su Qing's eyes lit up: "You've taken control of the Shen family."

Shen Qingxi nodded: "Yes, since I took over the Shen family, I've noticed that a lot of strange and monstrous things have appeared around me."

Su Qing said, "Then how about we return this wine?"

Shen Qingxi laughed and said, "Why would we give it up? It was free. Wouldn't it be crazy for us to give it up?"

The 2005 Romanée-Conti is now exactly 20 years old, and it's at its best. Want to try some?

Su Qing laughed and said, "Of course I have to try it. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have had the chance to drink such good wine."

Shen Qingxi said, "With your looks and figure, if you wanted, plenty of people would treat you to good drinks."

Forget Romanée-Conti, and all that mass-produced 82 Lafite.

Su Qing laughed: "You have such a sharp tongue."

I don't want to associate with those people. The only rich kid I'm on good terms with is you.

Other rich kids are too pretentious and too materialistic!

I really hate it.

Shen Qingxi poured two glasses of wine and handed one to Su Qing.

Then she lightly touched Su Qing's hand and said, "I feel the same way. I don't like them either."

Su Qing smiled and took a sip of wine.

The same applies to Shen Qingxi.

However, Shen Qingxi was thinking about many things at this moment.

Bai Shuo, Nangong Duoduo, Ji Boda, the owner behind the Starry Sky Restaurant.

These people all appeared after he took control of the Shen family.

Moreover, Shen Qingxi could sense that these people were all trying to curry favor with him.

And then there's Pangcheng.

So, is there something he doesn't know about when he takes over the Shen Group?

For example, is it a signal?

But what does this signal represent?

Shen Qingxi couldn't understand it.

Shen Qingxi may be uneducated and incompetent, but he is never stupid.

If too many coincidences happen at once, then it's definitely not a coincidence.

Su Qing looked at Shen Qingxi: "Hey, what are you thinking about? You seem so engrossed!"

Shen Qingxi laughed and said, "It's nothing. I was just thinking that I might have been passively drawn into a game!"

And it seems like nobody wants to tell me that this is actually a game.

Su Qing leaned against the railing of the booth, looking down at the dance floor.

The dance floor has once again become lively and bustling.

Su Qing said, "Shen Qingxi, did you see that?"

Shen Qingxi asked in confusion, "What?"

Su Qing laughed and said, "The world is full of all sorts of people, Shen Qingxi. I don't know why you said those things just now."

But I think that perhaps everyone overestimated you, and at the same time underestimated you!

You are a very contradictory person. As your advisor, I actually know all the information about everyone in the class.

Do you know why we clicked so well when we first met?

Shen Qingxi shook his head.

Su Qing said, "Because of curiosity!"

To be honest, Shen Qingxi, what has happened to you since you were a child?

It's the most legendary, but also the most outrageous, story I've ever seen.

So your experience piqued my curiosity, and later I asked many people about you.

Then I found out about you before you were ten years old. God knows how shocked I was when I first found out.

Before you were ten years old, you were simply outstanding!

I once thought it was just a rumor, but after I verified it, I realized that there really are child prodigies like you in this world.

But after you turned ten, your performance took a sharp turn for the worse.

I was curious at the time, why?

So, Shen Qingxi, can you satisfy my curiosity? Why is it that after you turned ten, you became just another ordinary person, even less than average?

What are you hiding?

Shen Qingxi looked at Su Qing.

He laughed and said, "Hidden? I'm not hiding anything!"

People always change suddenly at some point in their lives. Perhaps the time when I changed was when I turned ten!

Besides, I'm the richest second-generation in Jiangcheng, why should I work hard?

Even if I work my whole life, I might not be able to catch up with even a fraction of the wealth my parents built for me.

Su Qing swirled the wine glass in her hand.

"Really? Maybe. But the reason I'm telling you all this is to tell you something..."

Su Qing leaned close to Shen Qingxi's ear and whispered something.

"Shen Qingxi, you can't keep up the act anymore. You can't hide it any longer. Your words just now have exposed you. Your persona is ruined!"

Shen Qingxi leaned against the fence.

His gaze fell on Su Qing.

"Is that so? So, Instructor Su, haven't you heard the saying, 'The more you know, the more dangerous it is'?"

Su Qing laughed and raised her arm to put it on Shen Qingxi's shoulder.

"So, do you want to silence them?"

Shen Qingxi then noticed that Su Qing's face was already completely red.

The wine glass in her hand was already empty.

Shen Qingxi was stunned. Damn, he realized that Su Qing was simply drunk.

How can someone get drunk after just one cup?

Most importantly, aren't they playing some kind of role-playing game?

How come Su Qing is already drunk at the very beginning of the game?

Before Shen Qingxi could finish his rant, Su Qing's head slumped down, and she fell asleep on Shen Qingxi's shoulder.

Her arms were wrapped around Shen Qingxi's neck without her even realizing it.

Shen Qingxi's lips twitched violently. Was he some new breed of koala?
