Little Madman's Guide to Acting Good

"Why did the Shen family come here today?" Chen Qizhao asked the housekeeper hesitantly after taking the milk and standing beside him.

"Mr. Shen talked to Mr. Shen on the phone last night. Mr. Shen originally wanted to go to Shen's house, but Mr. Shen came over today." The housekeeper explained: "The Shen family has not celebrated the New Year in S City for many years, and they will come here this year when they have time. My husband also often comes to pay New Year's greetings on the first day of the new year."

The Shen family is based in City S, but with Shen Xuelan's resolute business style, she got on the big boat of the Internet early and divided her own market. In fact, the business territory has expanded to other cities, and City B is one of them.Shen Yuhuai has been studying abroad all year round, and the Shen family has few relatives around them, so they basically go to City B every year for the New Year, but this year, Shen Yuhuai happens to be on the side of City S, so the Shen family will celebrate the New Year locally.

Chen Qizhao's memory of his childhood was a little fuzzy. In his impression, Uncle Shen and his father were on good terms. Later, there was less communication, partly because of the Shen family themselves.

Today there were three people from the Shen family, except for Shen Yuhuai, the rest were Uncle Shen and Shen Xuelan.

Chen Qizhao scanned the vacant seat on the sofa, and finally chose to sit on the outer seat, next to Shen Yuhuai.

After he took his seat, he greeted Shen Yuhuai: "Brother Huai."

Shen Yuhuai's gaze stayed on the other party's slightly raised hair for a moment, and he smiled slightly, "Just got up?"

"Yeah." Chen Qizhao took a sip of milk, "You didn't tell me yesterday."

Shen Yuhuai: "I also heard from my dad this morning."

Chen Qizhao was a little restless, he glanced at Shen Yuhuai's clothes today, and finally stopped on Shen Yuhuai's glasses.

Noticing Chen Qizhao's gaze, Shen Yuhuai asked, "What's wrong?"

"No." Chen Qizhao asked, "Brother Huai, did you change your glasses today?"

"Well." Shen Yuhuai said: "There was something wrong with the previous frame, so it was sent for repair."

"Is this weird?" he asked.

"No, it's quite suitable." Shen Yuhuai's eyes from last night appeared in Chen Qizhao's mind, as if they were brighter in reality, and Shen Yuhuai's eyes were not so dark.

Strange, why do you keep thinking about this?

Chen Qizhao diverted his attention and was quickly attracted by a female voice.

Sitting opposite him were Shen Xuelan and Chen Shiming. They were talking, and Chen Shiming's often tense face relaxed a lot, and he didn't put on a bad face.Chen Qizhao's eyes moved away from Chen Shiming's face, and finally stopped on Shen Xuelan.

Suddenly, she remembered the figure of Shen Xuelan in a black suit standing in front of the tombstone in her previous life.It was a cloudy day, and there were many people who came to pass the scene, but Shen Xuelan stood in front of the tombstone for a long time, and she put down the bouquet and left when the people were almost gone.

In this life, I only saw Shen Xuelan from a distance at the Lin Family Charity Gala, but in fact, Chen Qizhao and Shen Xuelan had quite a lot of exchanges. After the Chen family went bankrupt, he got help from the Shen family, and he often met Shen Xuelan on certain occasions. .When Chen Qizhao propped up the Chen family to re-enter the social circle of S City, he faced ridicule and embarrassment from all directions, and Shen Xuelan once helped him out.

Shen Xuelan likes to wear suits all the year round. What Chen Qizhao remembers most about him is that she clinks glasses with others with a smile on her face at certain parties.Even if the two of them didn't communicate much, she rarely took the initiative to communicate, but she helped him a lot.

Chen Shiming was chatting with Shen Xuelan about the recently popular e-commerce sector, but after a short chat, he often noticed Chen Qizhao's gaze on the opposite side. He caught a glimpse of the milk on the table from the corner of his eye, and looked at Chen Qizhao in surprise.

"Chen Qizhao, haven't you had breakfast yet?" Chen Shiming said suddenly.

After he finished speaking, he paid attention to the person, and saw Chen Qizhao frowned, thinking that the other party was about to return to the bar again.

Chen Qizhao stopped his voice: "...I just woke up and I'm not too hungry, I'll go later."

"I heard from Xuelan that Feihong's project is really good." Father Shen looked at Chen Qizhao: "I heard that Xiao Zhao made great contributions to this project."

Hearing Shen's father mentioning the Feihong project, several members of the Chen family had different expressions.The Feihong Rongguang project is indeed doing well, but Chen Qizhao doesn't like to mention it. Every time this project is mentioned, Chen Qizhao always has to say a few more words.

Chen Qizhao: "It's okay."

Chen Jianhong glanced sideways and saw Chen Qizhao sitting on the spot honestly, "This kid is very playful, and he has put his heart into this project, and he turned in a good answer."

Chen Qizhao: "Yes."

Chen Jianhong: "..."

Why is this kid talking so little today?

Not only that, compared to Chen Qizhao's eloquence when he came to the guests last night, Chen Qizhao was much quieter this morning. Even if Shen's father mentioned Feihong's matter, he simply responded with a few words, and did not speak eccentrically. Behavior is very abnormal.

It was abnormal as if he hadn't woken up. After the three members of the Shen family left, Chen Shiming saw Chen Qizhao preparing to leave with the half bottle of unfinished milk, and couldn't help frowning: "You didn't wake up today?"

Chen Qizhao turned around: "Oh, sober than you."

Seeing Chen Qizhao walking towards the stairs, Chen Shiming asked, "...Where are you going? There is porridge in the kitchen."

Chen Qizhao didn't turn his head back: "I won't eat, I'll have lunch later."

Chen Shiming: "..."

He ignored Chen Qizhao, turned his head to look at Chen Jianhong's position, "There may be other things after the year, you said you're going to Lin Bo's house, when?"

Chen Jianhong stopped Chen Shiming: "Then let's go in the afternoon, I really have to go and have a look."

Chen Shiming nodded, there are still some doubts about Feihong's matter, such as why the relationship between Lin and Yicheng suddenly became bad, and the rumors on the surface were due to project conflicts, but the timing of the incident was too coincidental...not to mention last year At the charity gala, it was hard not to doubt the drug problem found out.

Does Lin Bo really have nothing to do with this matter?

He was thoughtful, and just as he was walking outside, he suddenly saw Chen Qizhao standing on the stairs looking at him.

Chen Shiming: "...Didn't you go upstairs?"

"Going to pay New Year's greetings to Uncle Lin?" Chen Qizhao said with a smile on his face, "Brother, I want to go too, so take me with you."

In the driving car, Father Shen rarely praised: "Today, the youngest son of the Chen family seems to be different from the rumors outside. Isn't this a pretty good child? It seems that it is good for Lao Chen to let the child go to the company to practice experience."

Shen Yuhuai responded, "Yes."

"Why do I feel that my younger brother pays close attention to that boy from the Chen family recently?" Shen Xuelan looked at Shen Yuhuai and asked, "The relationship is not bad?"

"Isn't this normal? Our two families have a good relationship. Didn't Yu Huai have a good relationship with Xiao Zhao when he was young?"

Father Shen said: "Xiao Zhao's child has been doing well recently, Lao Chen should be very happy."

Shen Xuelan was really surprised when she recalled the quiet Chen Qizhao in the living room.She knows a little more than Shen's father, and she has also heard a little about the incident of Feihong's uproar, the matter of Chen Qizhao's choice of Nie Chenxiao on a whim, and the fact that he quarreled with Chen Shiming in marketing, "There are also rumors. It may be that they have restrained themselves today. Chen Shiming just told me that Feihong may need an intelligent system and wants to discuss cooperation with me."

Shen Yuhuai looked sideways when he heard the words, "Cooperation?"

"The glory of Chen Qizhao's previous project. After all, the Chen family didn't start from the Internet, and they didn't focus on intelligence. Many technologies are not mature."

On the contrary, the Shen family occupies most of the Internet market, and its development focus is also on technological intelligence. In the past two years, the core technology has made breakthroughs, and it can almost be said to be thriving.For the Chen family, which is short in this area, the Shen family can just make up for this defect. If they really want to build a smart home system, they really need the support of external media.

Shen Xuelan was also moved. After all, this is a win-win cooperation. "The only thing I'm not sure about is the partner. Uncle Chen seems to be planning to give Feihong to Chen Qizhao for training. I won't hesitate to cooperate with Chen Shiming... ..." As she spoke, she paid attention to the reaction of Shen Yuhuai next to her, and noticed the subtle behavior of the other party when he mentioned Chen Qizhao.

She suddenly changed her mind and said, "But this matter has to be seen, let's talk about it in a specific year."

-*

How can I miss myself when paying New Year greetings to Lin Shizhong.

When Chen Jianhong and Chen Shiming went out, Chen Qizhao also followed.

Lin's house is not far from Chen's house, only half an hour's drive away.It was the first time in Chen Qizhao's life that he came to Lin Shizhong's site. Looking at these familiar scenes, he couldn't help but think about the things in his previous life. He came to this place as many times as he begged Lin Shizhong.

Soon, under the guidance of the servant, the three of the Chen family entered the living room and saw Lin Shizhong sitting on the sofa.Chen Qizhao's eyes stayed on the table for a moment, noticing the cigarette butts in the ashtray, he looked at the cigar box next to Lin Shizhong...

Before them, Lin Shizhong had a guest?

"They're all here?" Lin Shizhong smiled and said, "Sit down quickly, Xiao Zhao is here too?"

Compared with Lin Shizhong at the charity gala, Lin Shizhong seems to be older now, and it seems that the other party has had a "good" life this year.

Chen Qizhao felt a little bit happier, and said, "Happy New Year Lin Bo, you should pay more attention to your health in the new year."

Lin Shizhong's expression was a little unnatural, but he quickly recovered his kind and friendly face: "Happy New Year, I will help my family more when I grow up one year old."

Chen Jianhong glanced at Chen Qizhao, and explained: "It happened that he was at home, so I brought him here. Sister-in-law is not here today?"

"I went with Xiaoxu to sit with her parents." Lin Shizhong explained: "I don't intend to go there. I heard that you will come and wait at home. I am too busy this year, so I didn't go over to drink tea and chat with you."

Lin Shizhong said: "I heard that Shiming did a good job this time, please help your father, the group needs you young blood to support it."

Chen Shiming nodded slightly: "Yes."

Chen Jianhong chatted with Lin Shizhong, and inevitably talked about Lin Shi and Yicheng.Lin Shizhong cleared himself up in a few words, "It's true that my subordinates did something wrong. Some things were not handled well. In the market on Yicheng's side, coupled with the conflicts accumulated before, Yicheng's side targeted us. Let's do it."

"If you need help..." Chen Jianhong said.

Lin Shizhong smiled: "Then I will come to you, don't worry. I heard that Shiming has found a lot of problems in the group recently?"

"They're all commercial spies who eat inside and out." Chen Qizhao looked at Lin Shizhong, and continued: "Uncle Lin, you don't know that Chen Shiming picked out two of my dad's assistants a while ago, and one of them was Yu Jie. Been with me for a while."

Lin Shizhong's voice sank: "Really?"

"Yeah?" Chen Qizhao sighed, looked straight at Lin Shizhong, and said, "Uncle Lin, my dad treats him well. You said that man looks like a dog. Who would have thought that his heart would be so dark?" Woolen cloth?"

"In the business world, it's nothing more than interests." Lin Shizhong glanced at Chen Qizhao, then turned to Chen Jianhong and said, "This business has exposed a lot of problems, and you should be careful about your affairs, especially those on the board of directors. , maybe even target Shi Ming, you should pay more attention to this point."

"Okay." Chen Jianhong said again: "Shi Ming, did you hear what you Lin Bo said?"

Chen Shiming was watching, and he couldn't help but look sideways when he heard Chen Qizhao's words, and then saw Chen Jianhong questioning, so he said: "Well, I know this matter well, and I will also pay attention to the board of directors."

Chen Qizhao listened, looking at Lin Shizhong's dignified appearance, and the board of directors he mentioned in a few words.Chen's internal and external troubles do exist. The biggest internal problem is the board of directors' difficulties and Lin Shizhong's overall situation. The former is in the open, and the latter is in the dark.

Chen Qizhao was quite clear about Lin Shizhong's layout. It was basically very clear who had the problem after finding out the details little by little in his previous life. It's just that some things haven't happened yet, and there is no evidence to blame Lin Shizhong.

After the Feihong incident, Chen Shiming mainly targeted various major projects and personnel deployment within the group, which was obviously very unfavorable to Lin Shizhong, because many of Lin Shizhong's arrangements were in these projects.

For example, this time two of the assistants were found out, and it was said that Yu Jie and others were buried deeper.

Obviously, Lin Shizhong's layout has been disrupted.

For Lin Shizhong, there were mistakes in the layout of decades, and several core chess pieces were exposed in advance. In addition, Yicheng was out to make trouble for Lin Shizhong. Missing.

Lin Shizhong is an old fox. He has been able to prepare for a big situation for decades. It is impossible for him to be in chaos because of this incident. It is very likely that he is recuperating and waiting for the next opportunity.So what he wants to do most urgently now is to stabilize the internal layout of the Chen family, find a way to divert Chen Shiming's attention, bring the conflict to the board of directors, and seek opportunities for adjustment.

It was impossible for Chen Qizhao to make Lin Shizhong happy. Since the other party didn't want to move, he had to find a way to make Lin Shizhong move.

"What are you thinking?" Chen Shiming asked suddenly.

Chen Qizhao came back to his senses, Lin Shizhong was talking to Chen Jianhong, and he didn't notice any movement from them.

He met Chen Shiming's suspicious eyes, and said casually, "I'm looking for an assistant."

Chen Shiming looked slightly surprised, and said directly: "If you need someone, I will send someone to you."

"I don't want it. If I meet another Yu Jie again, I will be at a disadvantage."

Chen Qizhao didn't want Chen Shiming's assistant. Chen Shiming had a lot of things to do. If someone was chosen to come over to him, the problem would be even bigger if some dubious person was assigned to Chen Shiming's assistant team.

There will definitely be actions in the next year. Chen Shiming has too many things to deal with, and Xu Tezhu may not have time to run back and forth.Although special assistant Xu is indeed very good, he can't touch Chen Shiming's people at this time.

So Chen Qizhao wanted to find a trustworthy assistant to help him... But if he wanted to talk about a trustworthy and capable person, he had someone in mind.

After chatting for more than an hour, Chen Qizhao listened for more than an hour.

When he left the Lin's house, Chen Qizhao looked at the garage behind the villa. If he remembered correctly, there should be several spare parking lots behind the Lin's house.He was suspicious, and just as he took two steps in that direction, Chen Shiming behind him stopped him.

"Where are you going?" Chen Shiming said, "Our car is here."

Lin Shizhong looked at Chen Qizhao.

"The garden of Lin Bo's house is quite big." Chen Qizhao asked thoughtfully, "I'll just take a look."

Lin Shizhong said: "If you have time after the year, you can also come to play at home."

As soon as the Chen family left, Lin Shizhong's expression darkened immediately. When he returned to the living room, Jiang Yuze had already come out of the study.

"Why did the Chen family come here suddenly?" Jiang Yuze frowned, "We were almost discovered."

"Don't worry, your whereabouts have not been revealed." Lin Shizhong lit a cigar, "Chen Jianhong said he would come to pay New Year's greetings. I thought he would be two hours late, but I didn't expect to come so soon."

Lin Shizhong asked again: "What happened to Yicheng?"

"There is no way to deal with it." Jiang Yuze frowned, "We have thought of many ways to divert Yicheng's attention, but their senior management has now insisted on our actions. With Yicheng's current actions, the two people related to us in the next year Biao estimates that they will grab it hard, so I suggest giving up."

Lin Shizhong didn't move, and looked at the tea tray in front of him sullenly.

All the layouts were well arranged... As long as the Chen family and Yicheng quarrel, they can sit back and watch the tigers fight and enjoy the benefits.The two bids that Jiang Yuze mentioned were projects that they had prepared for a long time ago, and they paid a lot of money for them. Originally, when Yicheng was fighting with the Chen family, Yicheng must have no time to take care of other things. These two specimens should be in his pocket. things.

But now everything is in chaos, just because of the Chen family, the project Lin's prepared for half a year may have to pay more to get it back, and the mad dog Yicheng is always watching and restricted everywhere.

After a long time, Lin Shizhong said, "I asked you to investigate Chen Qizhao last time. How did the investigation go?"

Jiang Yuze: "We have checked his group of friends. Chen Qizhao basically goes out to drink with them every week. His personality is just like that. He occasionally loses his temper when drinking. On the surface, it seems that there is no difference from the results of our previous investigations. ... At the end of the year, he often expressed his dissatisfaction with Yicheng and Yanyu in front of Cheng Rong and others."

"There is a doubt, but it's not a doubt. Chen Qizhao is very concerned about the health of Chen Jianhong and Zhang Yazhi recently." After thinking for a while, Jiang Yuze said: "It happened in the middle of last year. Chen Qizhao and Zhang Yazhi went to the hospital for an examination. A little problem, Chen Qizhao's attitude is a bit extreme."

"Suddenly concerned about...?" Lin Shizhong frowned: "Did he find a problem?"

"Chen Qizhao is in the Chen family, and has the best relationship with Zhang Yazhi. It is only natural for him to care about Zhang Yazhi's health. Chen Jianhong's problems with the three high schools were also discovered after that, and he asked me to make an appointment for a physical examination after the year." Jiang Yuze said: "Because Chen Qizhao didn't do anything unnecessary other than caring, it's actually not a suspicious point."

"Be careful about this matter, don't expose it in the near future."

Lin Shizhong asked again: "What about his school?"

Jiang Yuze continued: "There is nothing else to gain. Chen Qizhao's social circle in school is limited. We checked the people he gets along with, and the only one he got closest to is Shen Yuhuai from the Shen family. The two seem to have a good relationship because of the previous research institute. .And I received news that the Shen family also went to the Chen family to pay New Year's greetings this morning."

The Shen family... Lin Shizhong couldn't figure it out. He had also heard about Shen Yuhuai from the Shen family, and he didn't seem like someone Chen Qizhao would make friends with. Why did the two suddenly become close, "Pay attention to the movement of the Shen family during this time, don't Let them do bad things."

"The most important thing is to keep an eye on Chen Shiming, once he finds out something wrong."

Lin Shizhong sneered, "I don't have to tell you the rest."

-*

During the Chinese New Year, the Chen family was quite lively, and people came to visit for New Year's greetings one after another.Chen Qizhao was able to listen to it two days ago, but after that he really didn't have any interest. He stayed in the room except for eating, and was dragged by Yan Kailin to play games.

Chen Qizhao really loved playing games when he was young, and he thought he was pretty good at playing games, but he hasn't played for a long time, and the feeling is gone.After playing fish in troubled waters with others, Chen Qizhao couldn't pick up his youthful enthusiasm, so he went downstairs to find Zhang Yazhi.

Zhang Yazhi was drawing pictures in the small garden, but she hadn't realized when Chen Qizhao passed by.

"You child, you didn't even tell your mother when you came here." Zhang Yazhi turned away and said, "Your father and your brother are playing chess over there."

Chen Qizhao asked, "Have you checked your blood pressure today?"

"Measure." Zhang Yazhi glanced at him from the corner of her eye, and put down the things in her hand, "Why are you here? Didn't you say you were playing games with Xiaoyan?"

"You draw yours, I'm just here to take a look." Chen Qizhao sat down on the chair next to him, didn't intend to disturb Zhang Yazhi, and picked up his mobile phone to read the news after asking.

It was found out that it was news from Special Assistant Xu.

[-Zhao: So fast? ]

[-Tezhu Xu: There is information in the last inspection at the parking lot, and it is not difficult to check. ]

Xu Tezhu had a good year this year.For a job like theirs, the boss is used to being on call, but this year's Chinese New Year's boss's house is pretty good, at least there are no quarrels like the previous year, and at least he didn't go out urgently during the Chinese New Year.

For this reason, when Xu Tezhu prayed for blessings in the New Year, he said something more for his boss, wishing his family harmony.

But the boss didn't look for him, but Chen Ershao did.

It is said that he is asked to check the maintenance masters and technicians in the suburban parking lot, and send the information to him in the next year.It just so happened that he had the materials for the year-end review at his garage, so he temporarily sorted them out and sent them to Chen Ershao.

It's just that he was curious why the second young master suddenly started checking the parking lot. It has nothing to do with Feihong!

[-Tezhu Xu: Why did the second young master suddenly want to check the parking lot? ]

[-Zhao: Oh, Chen Shiming wants to take a driver's license test, I'll see which technology can do it. ]

Assistant Xu: "..."

You put aside the choice of concubine, you need so much information to find a driver's license instructor! ?

[-Special Assistant Xu: ...The maintenance master? ]

[-Zhao: I want to get a modified car. ]

Assistant Xu: "..."

The car license hasn't come down yet, so I'm planning to change the car!

While Xu Tezhu was thinking about whether to make a small report to his boss, Chen Qizhao had already clicked on the information of the parking lot to check one by one.

The information is very detailed, including all the employees employed in the yard, from the management managers to the workers in the yard.There was no problem with the inspection at the end of the year, and Chen Jianhong's fleet was also in operation, and the information of these characters seemed to be fine at a rough look. This is a car park that looks completely fine on the surface.

Employment personnel, yard equipment, cooperative parts suppliers, etc.

If you want to scrutinize the parking lot, the problems involved are all aspects.

Chen Qizhao hesitated a little, and swiped to the maintenance master's profile page.

Chen Shiming's car accident back then was not sure whether it was a complete accident or man-made. After all, the cause of the car accident was speeding in the city and a turning truck. Later, Chen Qizhao did not suspect man-made factors, but the driver died. Chen Shiming also admitted that he had question.

So in the previous life, car accidents were handled as traffic accidents.

If it was man-made, the problem probably occurred on the truck that caused the accident. When Chen Shiming had an accident, Yu Jie had already joined Chen Shiming's assistant team under Jiang Yuze's arrangement.As an assistant, it is entirely possible for Yu Jie to get Chen Shiming's itinerary, so the appearance of the truck may not be an accident, it may be Lin Shizhong's hand.

But besides the truck, there is another possibility.

It was the car in Chen Shiming's accident. The driver, Lao Lin, had worked in Chen's family for many years. His driving skills were recognized by many people, and he could drive smoothly even in heavy rain.Even if speeding occurs while driving, as an experienced driver, it is impossible for an experienced driver not to take any action even if he does not react when a special situation occurs...

The car accident at that time was very tragic. When checking the monitoring afterwards, the traffic police investigator said that the steering wheel of the vehicle must have been changed before it hit the truck, so in that major car accident, Lao Lin died on the spot, and Chen Shiming lost both legs, but survived up.Due to the serious damage to the vehicle and the small-scale fire at the scene, the progress of the investigation on the vehicle has been very slow, and no results were produced in the end.

But again, Chen Qizhao could not let Chen Shiming repeat the same mistakes under the circumstance of not being able to determine whether it was man-made or an accident. If the problem with the truck was caused by the assistant leaking the schedule and arranged in advance, then the man-made may be caused by the vehicle being tampered with... The driver Lao Lin may have a problem , but is it more likely to be in the regular maintenance of the garage?

That parking lot has to be checked.

Zhang Yazhi's brush didn't move, she seemed to be concentrating on the painting, but in fact her attention was always on Chen Qizhao who was sitting obliquely in front.

Chen Qizhao was sitting in front of her, his eyes fixed on the phone.

But his fingers hadn't moved for a long time.

The child did seem to have lost weight, and the edges and corners of the previously fleshy face gradually became clearer. Even though she was wearing a heavy cotton coat, she felt that the body under the clothes was much thinner than before.

In addition, there are changes in the child. The time of silence is much longer than before, and she does not express her needs directly and clearly as before. Sometimes she looks at the child, watching his subtle expression changes, but does not I know what the kid is thinking.

Chen Qizhao suddenly noticed Zhang Yazhi's gaze, "Mom?"

Zhang Yazhi came back to her senses, "Why don't you wear more clothes when you go out, is it cold? Mom will get you some clothes?"

"It's not cold." Chen Qizhao noticed Zhang Yazhi's clothes, "I'll get you one."

"Oh no..."

Chen Qizhao had already walked away.

Zhang Yazhi pursed her lips slightly, and swallowed the words, full of thoughts in her heart.

She felt like a mountain was pressing on the child.
