Deep Sea Contract

On the way back, the only sound left in the car was the flipping of paper and typing on the keyboard.

The seat of the Bentley is very spacious, and after finally breaking free from Li Sheng's embrace, Shuo Xun sat alone, his eyes accidentally glanced at the first few lines of the document in Li Sheng's hand, and he couldn't help sighing softly in his heart.

When Li Ming was killed suddenly, those invisible forces behind him were bound to become chaotic, but the more chaotic, the easier it was for the family to defeat them one by one.Those Li family members who were proud of their previous generation didn't know what their young master would do.

Shuo Xun can't remember how many lives of people surnamed Li were ruined in his hands.

"Tired?"

Ignoring the questions behind him, Shuo Xun quietly watched the scenery passing by the window.

The early morning in Tokyo begins when the east is pale, and the crowds are bustling past their cars, and some people show envious eyes from time to time.After driving through Ginza and walking for another half an hour, the Bentley finally stopped in front of a traditional Japanese-style building. The carefully repaired cherry trees could vaguely see the grand flower event in late spring that had passed in the sunlight.

"It used to be one of my mother's dowry, but after my mother passed away, it became my private property." Before Shuo Xun could distinguish the faint nostalgia in his tone, Li Sheng got out of the car.

The courtyard is well-maintained and the vegetation is luxuriant. Passing through the veranda and entering the room, it is still decorated in a Japanese style. On the small table sits a girl who is making matcha tea, with her hair lowered and her eyelashes slender.

"Lunch will be ready soon, please wait a moment." The housekeeper said to Li Sheng, and Shuo Xun directly bypassed the two and sat next to the girl, quietly watching the movements of the girl's hands.

"When did you become interested in Japanese tea ceremony?" Li Sheng asked.

Ignoring the words behind him, Shuo Xun took the matcha from the girl's hand and nodded his thanks slightly.The top-quality matcha has a delicate fragrance and a slight bitter taste. After taking a sip, there is still a long aftertaste between the lips and teeth.

Seeing the faint smile on this handsome man's face, the girl was stunned for a moment, then repeated the action she had done a while ago, serving tea to Li Sheng who was sitting next to her, bowed and silently exited the room.

Holding the cup, Shuo Xun couldn't help feeling a little strange watching Li Sheng signal his assistant to put the document in front of him.

"You are in charge of the selection." His face was not very good, but Li Sheng added the second half of the sentence patiently, "I will come to assist you on the [-]th meeting. If you need anything, please contact me directly."

eleven?

The assistant answered Shuo Xun's doubts respectfully: "The one who made you tea just now is Eleven."

The document was a full one or two centimeters thick. Shuo Xun opened the first page, read ten lines at a glance, and understood the meaning of "selecting people" in Li Sheng's mouth.

The Japanese branch is different from other branches in that it hides a lot about the main family. It was not until the sudden death of Li Ming, the person in charge, that the main family found the complete file. It may be a future member of the Japanese branch. As far as the selection itself is concerned, Shuo Xun has never been in contact with it.

This is not something that only requires force, and Li Sheng never entrusted him with this part in his previous life.

As if seeing Shuo Xun's hesitation, Li Sheng stretched out his hand to hold down the hand that was about to turn the page, his eyes seemed to have a knife edge, and he spoke in a tone that could not be refused, "We will stay in Japan for three months. Before that, I want to see the results."

"……Yes."

There was a sudden silence in the room.

Unaccustomed to sitting on knees, Shuo Xun crossed his legs, holding a pen in his hand, and took notes while flipping.He worked so hard that he didn't notice Li Sheng's gaze at all.

His warm eyes lightly passed over the beautiful side face, reached the fair neck, and finally stopped at the small part of the collarbone that exposed the deep concave.

Li Cheng opened the tablet in his hand, but the somewhat transparent white skin appeared in front of his eyes from time to time.He had never seen such a serious Shuo Xun, and suddenly there was a soft spot in his heart. For a moment, a thought that he had never thought of flashed through Li Sheng's mind.

If his contractor could always be like this, just sitting so quietly, as if isolated from this world, only belonged to him...if...

There is no if.

The silence was broken.Shuo Xun put down the file in his hand. He looked down for too long, and when he looked up, his neck was so sore that he couldn't help but let out a muffled sound.

"do not move."

Shuo Xun subconsciously wanted to avoid the hand behind him, but someone pinched the back of his neck quickly and had to stop.Seeing that he no longer dodges, pinches the hand on the back of his neck and starts to move...

"Well--"

Shuo Xun didn't know which acupoint the other party pinched, but he felt a tingling numbness. Fortunately, Li Cheng only pinched it for a few seconds before letting go.Shuo Xun rubbed his neck, and unexpectedly found that most of the fatigue and pain from a while ago had disappeared.

"Master, lunch is ready, please follow me." The butler announced outside the door.

Lunch was kaiseki cuisine, and Shuo Xun had a rare appetite, so he ignored the young master of the Li family who was sitting beside him, and started to finish the dish in front of him.

The whole meal was eaten naturally except for Shuo Xun, and the people around him were already trembling with fear from the low air pressure. It was not until a slender figure in kimono appeared at the door that he was rescued and hurriedly retreated.

Eleven bowed respectfully to Li Sheng and said, "Eldest Young Master, the head of the branch welcomes you."

After Li Sheng left, Eleven bowed to Shuo Xun again, and said politely, "Mr. Shuo, this way please, I will take you to your room."

Shuo Xun's room is connected to his work place, occupying a corner on the west side of the courtyard.As soon as he entered the door, Shuo Xun could smell the fresh incense burning in the Japanese room.

"Mr. Shuo, the young master asked me to help you." Eleven stood by the door, until she stood in front of her, Shuo Xun realized that the girl was very tall, at nearly 1.8 meters tall, slightly taller than Shuo Xun, weak Her boneless body was wrapped in a light green kimono, and her white fingertips were exposed in the wide robe. She was a young beauty.

Shuo Xun nodded, walked into the room, took out the detailed files on the bookcase, gave some to Eleven, explained some specific matters, and began to concentrate on work.

I have to say that Li Sheng has a very oppressive vision.Three hours later, when Eleven put down the documents in his hands, Shuo Xun had already finished one-third of tomorrow's work.

"Mr. Shuo sees so fast, it's really amazing." With his hands clasped together in front of his chest, Eleven was talking, but he was a little surprised by Shuo Xun's unabashedly straight eyes.

"Eleventh," Shuo Xun seemed to be thinking about what kind of tone to use, and finally chose an extremely flat tone, "You're actually a boy, aren't you?"
