Chapter 166 Temptation, Killing Chickens and Warning Monkeys, Rejected
2033.
early morning.
After a good night's sleep, Chen Yu got up, put on a set of white practice clothes, went to the lawn downstairs, and began to slowly practice Baguazhang.
The injuries on his body were still some time away from healing. Any movement of such an injured body would hurt. However, he felt that he had bruises everywhere and moving more would help activate blood circulation and remove blood stasis, so he gritted his teeth and persisted with each move.
Practice Baguazhang.
As his body gradually became more mobile, the pain in his body gradually became less unbearable.
Because of this, his speed in practicing Baguazhang gradually increased.
After going through many time and space, the "memory" of practicing Baguazhang in his mind has been superimposed time and time again, and his understanding of Baguazhang has also been deepened time and time again.
The current body is not strong enough, probably because it has been neglected to exercise and indulged in beauty over the years.
He wanted to practice more and improve the quality of his body.
He still prefers practicing kung fu to making money from doing business.
Under the early morning light, Chen Yu was practicing palm skills on the lawn. Looking from a distance, there seemed to be an inexplicable charm in his movements.
Behind a certain window on the second floor, Tang Hongjie looked at Chen Yu who was practicing Tang Family Bagua Zhang on the lawn downstairs with slightly doubtful eyes.
She felt that his palm skills today seemed to have improved a lot compared to before.
This struck her as unscientific.
In recent years, she rarely saw Chen Yu practicing his palm skills. When he occasionally practiced, his Baguazhang had some heat, which she could see clearly at a glance.
But at this moment, she was watching him practice from a high position, and suddenly felt that his palm skills seemed to be superior to hers, Tang Hongjie's.
How can this be?
Kung Fu is not Buddhism, so how can one still achieve enlightenment?
She never believed that Kung Fu in real life could be improved by enlightenment. She believed that Kung Fu was accumulated over time and practiced bit by bit.
"Is it my imagination?"
She wondered to herself.
…
Downstairs, Jiang Xiu, a housekeeper, had just been instructing the maids to clean up in the hall downstairs. At this time, she inadvertently walked to the door to get some air, and inadvertently caught a glimpse of Chen Yu who was practicing Baguazhang on the lawn not far away.
Her eyes twinkled slightly.
When Chen Yu taught her brother Jiang Rongguang and others Bagua Zhang, she also followed him for several years. When she saw Chen Yu practicing Bagua Zhang, she couldn't help but be reminded of some memories from those years.
Over the years, she would practice this palm technique when she was bored in private.
After practicing for more than ten years, she can feel the changes this kung fu has made on herself.
Not to mention the subtle changes in her figure, just saying that after so many years of hard work, her heart has gradually become stronger.
Her courage is far greater than that of ordinary women.
For example, when she sees one or two strong men on weekdays, she is not afraid at all, because she is confident that if she takes action, one or two big men will not be her opponent.
Furthermore, when she manages her maids and employees, her attitude has also become very tough, because she is not afraid of retaliation from these people behind her back.
Jiang Xiu stood in front of the gate and quietly looked at Chen Yu who was practicing palm skills on the lawn for a while. She didn't know what was going on in her mind.
Suddenly he came back to his senses and waved to a maid not far away.
When the maid ran over with a smile on her face, Jiang Xiu whispered: "Go get me a towel to wipe my sweat."
"Yes, Sister Xiu!"
The maid agreed and hurriedly ran to get a towel. After a while, she brought a white towel and handed it to Jiang Xiu with both hands.
"Go and do your business!"
Jiang Xiu took the towel, dropped these words, and walked straight to Chen Yu who was practicing on the lawn.
At first he took big steps, but gradually he slowed down and finally found himself four or five meters away from Chen Yu, holding a white towel and waiting quietly.
Chen Yu, who was practicing, caught a glimpse of her, but did not stop immediately. Instead, he continued to practice all the palm techniques, and then slowly stopped and stood in awe.
After letting out a sigh of relief, he turned to look at Jiang Xiu, who had been waiting for several minutes.
In his mind, it seemed as if Jiang Xiu was his newlywed wife just yesterday.
But after a time and space change, Jiang Xiu became his butler.
Everything in the past is like a spring dream that has disappeared without a trace.
Seeing him looking over, Jiang Xiu hesitated slightly, then smiled and walked over slowly holding a white towel. When he was still nearly two meters away, he said: "Brother Yu, wipe your sweat!"
Otherwise, if the wind blows, you will easily catch a cold."
As soon as she finished speaking, she walked up to Chen Yu, and the white towel she held in her hand was within Chen Yu's reach.
Chen Yu smiled with complicated eyes, reached out to take the towel, and wiped the sweat on his forehead and neck.
The Magic City is still very hot in this season, even in the early morning, the temperature is not low.
"Brother Yu, your injuries are okay, right?"
Jiang Xiu looked at him and asked softly.
At this moment, Chen Yu looked at her and suddenly remembered the dreams Tang Hongjie told him last night when she was giving him a drink.
The dreams Tang Hongjie talked about were too similar to the life he had lived with Tang Hongjie before when they were husband and wife.
At that time, he wondered whether Tang Hongjie was the only one who could dream about other time and space? Or could other people also dream about it?
Maybe you can try Jiangxiu.
See if she has had similar dreams.
With such thoughts flashing through his mind, Chen Yu smiled slightly and said casually: "It doesn't matter, it's just a flesh wound. Thank you for your concern."
Jiang Xiu smiled back at him, and then whispered: "I prepared some hawthorn malt soup for breakfast today. I heard that this soup can activate blood circulation and remove blood clots. Brother Yu, please drink more in a while! It should be good for your recovery.
.”
Chen Yu nodded slightly, "Okay, you are interested."
After a pause, he suddenly asked: "Hey, by the way, Ah Xiu, have you dreamed about me in these years?"
"ah?"
Jiang Xiu was startled, wondering if he heard wrongly?
Why did he suddenly ask me this question?
Did he hear something?
Who?
Who said that?
Do I have the habit of talking in my sleep? Some garrulous person happened to talk about it?
Jiang Xiu, who was caught off guard, had two blushes visible on his face. His eyes turned to the side in a panic, and he subconsciously denied it, "No, no! Yu, Brother Yu, don't listen to other people's nonsense! No, it's nothing."
!real."
Chen Yu saw and heard her expression, eyes, and tone of voice just now. Jiang Xiu's first reaction just now was too panicked.
Therefore, even if she immediately denied it, Chen Yu still didn't believe what she said.
It seems that like Tang Hongjie, she can also dream about things in other time and space.
Moreover, he must have dreamed of me too.
At this moment, he felt complicated and unspeakable.
He never expected that after the change of time and space, people would dream about what happened in the previous time and space.
Things that once really happened have become some people’s dreams.
He didn't know whether he should be happy or not. Tang Hongjie and Jiang Xiu could dream about things in the previous time and space, and they could dream about Chen Yu, which made him feel a little happy.
Because this means that they have not completely forgotten their life with him.
More of them feel disappointed.
Because they must all think that it is just a dream, and they will not think that it is a real thing that happened in other time and space.
"Brother Yu, I, I still have work to do, so I'll leave first."
The flustered Jiang Xiu said goodbye hastily, turned around and left in a hurry.
Chen Yu didn't call her to stop, he looked at her hurried away back with thoughtful eyes.
At this moment, he thought that since Jiang Xiu and Tang Hongjie often dream about him, they must think that they are deeply in love with me.
In this case, if I want to capture them, it shouldn't be difficult.
He also thought of another possibility.
Since Jiang Xiu and Tang Hongjie can dream about things in other time and space, what about Cen Rou, Jiang Wenwen, Sun Xiaoshuang and others?
Will Cen Rou dream that she is my assistant, just an assistant?
Jiang Wenwen...will she dream that she once fed me cephalosporins?
Where is Sun Xiaoshuang?
Will she dream that she and her sister Sun Xiaoyue slept together with me?
etc.
He even thought of it - where is Jiang Rongguang? In the past few time and space, Jiang Rongguang has been respectful to me. He has always been in awe of me. Did he also dream of being beaten to death by my own hands?
The chaotic thoughts in my mind come one after another.
For a moment, I felt that I could have Jiang Xiu and Tang Hongjie forever from now on.
After a while, I felt that people like Jiang Wenwen, who had very unpleasant experiences with him, regardless of gender, should try to stay away from each other in the future and not trust easily.
Because at any time, they may dream about unpleasant things that happened in the past, which may affect their feelings towards him, Chen Yu.
Even Jiang Rongguang must be on guard.
Can't be completely trusted.
…
Jiang Xiu hurried back to the lobby of the villa, still feeling her heart beating fast and her palms sweating.
At this time, she slowly glanced at the maids who were cleaning in the hall, frowned slightly, and thought to herself: Who heard what I said in my sleep? And then talked nonsense outside? Who? Who on earth is it?
?Don’t want to mess around anymore? Do you dare to tell my secrets behind their backs? Am I usually too kind to them, making them think I am weak and can be bullied?
Thinking of this possibility, Jiang Xiu's face turned serious. He casually touched the surface of the shoe cabinet next to him, then put his fingertips in front of his eyes and looked at it. He snorted coldly and said, "Look at what kind of hygiene you are doing? This
There is still so much dust on the shoe cabinet. It doesn’t matter that the boss and his wife don’t live here. Now that the boss and his wife live here, you still dare to be so perfunctory in your work, okay! You are perfunctory in your work, right? All of this month’s bonuses will be given to you.
I deducted it! None of you can get a bonus this month! I said so! Huh!"
Several maids who usually felt nervous when seeing her were suddenly so frightened that no one dared to say anything.
But when Jiang Xiu saw how they looked like this, he felt even more angry.
Secretly thought: Pretend! Keep pretending! Usually I am really deceived by your pitiful little appearance. If I hadn't accidentally discovered one of you chewing my tongue behind my back today, I really wouldn't have known that your acting skills were so good.
Humph! Don’t try to paralyze me with this pitiful appearance again!
Jiang Xiu glanced at these people with cold eyes, feeling that she had seen through these maids and would never be fooled again, so she turned around and left with a sigh of anger.
…
During lunch, Cen Rou, who had eaten with Chen Yu, looked at Chen Yu after finishing her meal and wiping her mouth, "Brother Yu, I received a report from below this morning. Something went wrong at the headquarters of our hometown pharmaceutical company.
The problem requires me to rush over and deal with it. You are still injured from the injury, so you can continue to stay here to recuperate. I will finish the matter and come back to accompany you soon. Do you think that is okay?"
Chen Yu frowned slightly, "Pharmaceutical factory headquarters? What happened?"
Cen Rou smiled, "It's not a big deal, it's just that in the past few days when you disappeared, Vice Director Cao of the group was a little restless. He seemed to think that you would never come back, and wanted to seize the opportunity to seize power. He probably wanted to make the pharmaceutical factory his.
Take what you have in your bag!
Before you came back, the people over there couldn't clearly see the situation, so they didn't dare to report his little moves to me. Now that you're back, the situation is clear, and people over there are rushing to report to me what Deputy Director Cao has done recently.
Why, I’ll go there and kill the chicken to scare the monkeys, so as to serve as a warning to others, you don’t have to worry! Since you’re back safely, Cao won’t dare to resist.”
Vice Chairman Cao?
Hearing this title, memories related to it appeared in Chen Yu's mind.
——Cao Xuebing, one of the vice chairman of Life Leap Pharmaceutical Company.
He is a representative sent by the second largest holding company of Life Leap Pharmaceutical Company.
Yes!
In this time and space, the Life Leap Pharmaceutical Company under his name is a joint-stock listed company.
To put it simply, this company is not his private property.
In this domestic environment, when the pharmaceutical company he established has developed to a certain extent, it will be almost impossible for him to live alone without giving any other interest groups the opportunity to get involved.
Officials cannot sit back and watch such a large pharmaceutical company, which is entirely a private industry.
So a few years ago, after "Chen Yu" had a long talk with Xu Youwen, he made a concession and gave up 49% of the company's shares to other companies.
"He" himself only retains 51% of the controlling stake.
Of course, "he" also gained something by giving away so many shares.
On the one hand, the company's development funds have grown rapidly.
On the other hand, the power behind the companies he has invested in can also be used by "him".
The most important thing is that official support for "him" has skyrocketed.
Similarly, another company under his name, Super Dimension Mobile Group, had to accept shares from other companies a few years ago.
and establish a board of directors.
Normally, the control of these two companies has always been firmly in the hands of "Chen Yu".
Other directors, vice-chairmen, etc., just like a famous saying on the Internet before: As long as I die, you will all be princes!
As long as Chen Yu is safe, those people can't shake his status, and they can't take away his company.
But recently he was kidnapped, and there seems to be little hope of his safe return.
Therefore, some people want to take advantage of this opportunity to take over the power of Life Leap Pharmaceutical Company.
Cao Xuebing...
Chen Yu's mind flashed back to the way this person used to be respectful in front of him.
I had never seen this person have such ambition before.
Immediately he said to Cen Rou: "Go over this time and tell the company behind Cao Xuebing, just say it was me and let them do it themselves. Send the person named Cao to jail. Let their company handle the charges and evidence themselves."
If you don’t, they won’t have any share in the company’s next capital increase or share expansion, so tell them that!”
Hearing this, Cen Rou chuckled, "Don't go to such trouble! The person who reported this to me has helped us collect evidence of Cao Xuebing's crime in advance. I went there to send him to jail! As for the company behind Cao Xuebing... I will force them later.
Cao Xuebing will be punished for handing over one-third of his shares to other companies, and the company behind him will not be spared either."
Chen Yu was a little surprised by Cen Rou's iron-fisted methods.
But since Cen Rou has this assurance and confidence, he has no objection.
"Yeah, that's okay! Let's do it then!"
After the meal, Cen Rou left the manor, accompanied by Tang Hongjie and others.
Chen Yu, who was still recovering from his injuries, seemed a little idle.
He came to the study room on the third floor to read.
After looking at it for a while, I thought about whether to adjust Jiang Xiu's job.
His mentality is a bit contradictory.
Secretly, he hoped that Jiang Xiu would continue to be a housekeeper here, so that he could see her every day in the future.
But reason told him - maybe Jiang Xiu doesn't like being a housekeeper, and maybe if she is given another position, she will be freer and happier.
After pondering for several minutes, he picked up his cell phone and called Jiang Xiu, asking her to come to his study.
About ten minutes later, there was a knock on the study door.
"Come in!"
Chen Yu said and put down the book in his hand.
Jiang Xiu, who was wearing a black butler uniform, quickly walked into the study and came to his desk. She folded her hands on her lower abdomen and lowered her head slightly. She didn't know if it was because of what happened in the morning that she didn't dare to look at him directly.
s eyes.
"Brother Yu, what are your orders?"
"sit!"
Chen Yu stretched out his hand to motion to the chair in front of her.
Jiang Xiu shook his head slightly, "Brother Yu, if you have any orders, just say it. I'll just stand there."
Chen Yu: "..."
She actually didn't want to sit down in front of him.
He didn't bother to talk to her about this issue.
Then he asked: "Axiu, do you like your current job as a housekeeper? If you don't like it, I can help you find another job. You can tell me what you like to do."
Jiang Xiu lowered his head and remained silent for a while.
If he hadn't seen her eyes still open, Chen Yu would have doubted whether she had fallen asleep standing up.
"Axiu?"
He couldn't help but call her.
Jiang Xiu still lowered his head and finally spoke, but his voice seemed to be much dryer, "Brother Yu, I will obey whatever arrangement you want. I have no objection."
You really have no opinion?
If you really have no objection, why did your voice change?
Chen Yu frowned and looked at her doubtfully, because he felt that she didn't want to lose her current job as a housekeeper.
Does she really like being a housekeeper?
"Axiu, do you like being a housekeeper?"
he asked hesitantly.
Jiang Xiu responded silently.
In Chen Yu's opinion, this was her acquiescence.
He couldn't understand why she liked being a housekeeper.
Isn’t it good to be an office worker who is free and has his own spare time?
"Okay! Since you like your current job, then you can continue to do it! Don't get me wrong, I just want to arrange a more comfortable job for you. Since you don't want it, then I definitely respect your opinion."
Jiang Xiu bowed slightly in greeting and whispered: "Thank you, Brother Yu!"
Chen Yu: "..."
At this moment, he felt that he still didn't understand her well enough.
