Chapter 291 Online dating has risks 43
"Su Ziyu can be said to be the embodiment of inspiration. When I first met him, he was as thin as a monkey and couldn't even afford to eat."
"I felt sorry for him, and since we both came from the same orphanage, I kept him as a handyman in the bar. This kid has a pretty face and a sharp mind, and he gets the highest commission from selling alcohol."
"But he was not satisfied. He later taught himself singing and dancing. He was very popular when he first performed on stage. Gradually, he became the signature of my bar and has been working there until now."
"Now, at least, the hardship has paid off. I don't have to live a tight life anymore. I couldn't even afford to eat meat. I'm so skinny that I don't even have 2 taels of meat on my body."
...
Sheng Shuchen had been listening quietly, taking a sip of wine from time to time. He had had people investigate Su Ziyu twice and knew very well that he was saving money desperately in order to buy Jiang Zhiyu a prosthesis.
I don’t know if Shi Qian’s words were more contagious than what was written in black and white, or if it was because seeing Su Ziyu endure the imaginative gazes of the crowd on the stage just to make money was too shocking.
Sheng Shuchen couldn't help but feel the pain in his heart, and he secretly twisted himself into a ball, hating himself for not meeting Su Ziyu earlier and letting him endure all this alone.
All the resentment and anger for being deceived and broken up with turned into heartache, which wrapped around his heart like a fishing net, shrinking it and making it hard for him to breathe.
Shi Qian was a little dry-mouthed after talking, and while drinking, he took a break to glance at Sheng Shuchen's face. Seeing that the other person's eyes were fixed on the person on the stage, his thoughts became active.
"Speaking of which, my bar hasn't been doing well lately. If I could have a partner to share the pressure, I wouldn't have to force Ziyu to perform during the summer vacation. He found an internship and originally didn't plan to come..."
Hearing this, Sheng Shuchen frowned and looked at him, interrupting in a deep voice: "How much?"
Shi Qian blinked, thinking that he had really taken the bait. It seemed that Sheng Shuchen was quite interested in Zi Yu. He suppressed his excitement and joy, pretending to be stupid and asked, "President Shengda, what do you mean?"
Sheng Shuchen said impatiently, "Partner, you name the price. The only requirement is that if Su Ziyu doesn't want to go on stage, you are not allowed to force him."
"What are you saying, Mr. Shanda? This is a serious bar. We never force anyone!" Shi Qian's voice got lower and lower as he spoke. He smiled awkwardly under the other party's strong gaze. "I'll send you the contract as soon as I've calculated it."
Sheng Shuchen nodded, "Don't tell him what happened today."
"Of course, of course."
Shi Qian agreed quickly and sold the person out immediately. He sent a message to Su Ziyu, reminding him to be careful of Sheng Shuchen.
On the stage, Su Ziyu sang and danced freely. Compared with the initial awkwardness when he went on stage, he now neither rejected nor hated stage performances. The money he earned from singing one show was equivalent to half a month's salary, which was indeed easier than typing on the keyboard in the office.
But he didn't expect to see Sheng Shuchen.
The lights flickered in the dimness, and Sheng Shu sat in the corner of the bar, standing out like a crane among chickens. Su Ziyu wanted to pretend not to see him, but the fact was that the other party was too handsome to be ignored.
Being stared at by the other party, Su Ziyu's discomfort surged out again, which made the group of people below even more unable to stop.
Su Ziyu persisted until the end of the performance, then quickly left the stage, returned to the box to remove her makeup and change back into her original clothes, then sneaked out through the back door, not even having time for a midnight snack.
He scanned the shared bikes as usual, but when he took out his phone, he saw a message from Shi Qian, saying that Sheng Shuchen had charged 100,000 yuan for wine to inquire about him, and asked him to be careful.
“You still have a conscience!!”
Su Zi wanted to put the phone in his pocket and ride away, but a Cayenne blocked his way. The rear window slowly rolled down, revealing Sheng Shuchen's handsome and cold face. "Get in the car, I'll take you."
Su Ziyu's mind went blank immediately, his hand holding the handlebars tightened, and he greeted her incoherently, "Mr. Sheng, you came here to drink too!"
Sheng Shuchen leaned back in his chair, and said in a commanding tone, "Get in the car quickly, don't make me say it a second time."
Perhaps he had been ordered around too many times during this period, and when Su Ziyu heard Sheng Shuchen's low and slightly unhappy voice, his heart couldn't help but tremble.
When I reacted, he had already got into the car.
The designated driver started the car and looked through the rearview mirror at the two people sitting far away in the back seat. "Boss, where are you going back to?"
Sheng Shuchen turned his head to look at Su Ziyu, who immediately sat up straight with a little nervousness and reported the address of his community, "Sorry to bother you, Mr. Sheng."
Sheng Shuchen didn't say anything, just closed his eyes and pinched his straight nose, and then there was silence in the car.
Su Ziyu pinched his fingers and turned his head towards the car window, watching the scene outside quickly receding. He had no time to think about whether Sheng Shuchen recognized him or not. He just wanted to get rid of this awkward atmosphere as soon as possible.
The car quickly stopped at the roadside in front of the community entrance. Su Ziyu almost couldn't wait to get out of the car, and then thanked and said goodbye to Sheng Shuchen, but the other party didn't seem to have any intention of leaving.
Su Ziyu stared at him in a daze as he sent away the designated driver, took the car keys to lock the car, walked up to him, and said confidently, "I'm thirsty, don't mind going to your place to have a drink of water!"
What a lame excuse.
Su Ziyu blinked and glanced at the convenience store not far from the community entrance, thinking about the possibility of going in to buy the other person a bottle of water and thus sending the person away.
However, when he met Sheng Shuchen's dark eyes, Su Ziyu put aside his thoughts and forced a smile, "Of course, but my house is a bit messy, I hope Mr. Sheng doesn't mind."
Sheng Shuchen paused for a few seconds and said, "Just call me Shuchen."
Su Ziyu didn't say anything, but led the person into the elevator and all the way to the door of the house. When he opened the door, he was so nervous that he failed to insert the keyhole several times.
Sheng Shuchen seemed to want to liven up the atmosphere and deliberately said in a teasing tone, "Don't worry, I won't die of thirst for the time being."
Su Ziyu: ...Haha, this joke is not funny at all.
He opened the door, turned on the light in the living room, and then invited the person in. He said awkwardly, "There are no new slippers in that house. Why don't you just wear your shoes and come in!"
Sheng Shuchen stood at the door without moving, looking around with disgust. The cramped little house and the damp and sticky air were not an environment suitable for human habitation.
When Su Zi was about to come over with a glass of boiled water, he heard the other party say condescendingly: "Pack up your things and move to my place. From today on, you will be my life assistant."
Life assistant, and living together!!
Su Ziyu blinked, not quite understanding the direction of the current plot, "Mr. Sheng, you are kidding! Life assistant or something, isn't that a little too sudden!"
As the two looked at each other, Sheng Shuchen picked up his phone and called Assistant Wang, informing him to promote Su Ziyu to the position of personal assistant.
After hanging up the phone, Sheng Shuchen looked at him and said, "Assistant Wang will discuss your salary and benefits with you when you start working. If you don't have anything to take away now, you can just come to my place."
