Married the Scum Gong’s Villain Brother

Translator: Hua

Extra 2.1: Jealous

“President Shen, this is the subsidiary’s financial statement for the last quarter, please have a look.”

“President Shen, President Qin of the entertainment company wants to meet up with you regarding the previous misconduct of his artist. He hopes you can give him another chance…”

“President Shen, this is the latest development budget of the Chengdong Resort. Please sign after reading it…”

In the conference room of Shen’s group, Shen Yijin sat alone in the main seat, surrounded by the heads of various departments, dealing with the work left by Shen’s side.

Since a mature work system had already been formed, Shen Yijin took care of several companies in one go.

Usually, he only needed a few excellent assistants to cooperate and report the situation to him.

However, in the occasional few days of each month, Shen Yijin still returned to the Shen Group and personally focused on dealing with more difficult issues.

Such as today.

“President Shen, you have been working most of the time, so let’s take a break.” As the lunch break was approaching, the meeting was halted.

The other supervisors left the meeting room one after another. Opposite the crowd, Assistant Xiao Lu brought a cup of coffee to Shen Yijin and asked, “It’s almost lunch time, should I order a meal for you first?”

Shen Yijin browsed through a document in front of him, signed his name on it, and handed it out, saying, “No need for now.”

“Okay, President Shen, you can call me if you have anything.”

Assistant Lu took the document in Shen Yijin’s hand. At the same time, the laptop he put on the desk to take notes during the meeting made a sound. In the lower right corner of the screen, the word “husband” was very conspicuous, the only two people left in the meeting room both glance at it.

“…Ahaha.” Assistant Lu, who had accidentally logged into his private WeChat account, laughed a little, trying to ease the embarrassment. He felt that President Shen probably saw the WeChat notification content on his screen, so he couldn’t help explaining: ” It was my husband who came here to have lunch with me. I’ve told him not to come so early…”

“Then you go.” Shen Yijin said.

“President Shen?” Assistant Xiao Lu looked at the time, it was more than 20 minutes before the actual lunch break…

“Go, come back on time for the meeting in the afternoon.” Shen Yijin didn’t say much, and Xiao Lu knew that he wouldn’t say anything more. He immediately thanked his boss, and left the conference room with the documents in his arms.

Husband……

In the office with only one person left, Shen Yijin secretly pondered this word.

Assistant Lu got married a few months ago, and his partner was also a man. Shen Yijin once overheard him talking on the phone, and heard him call the man on the other end husband…

Come to think of it, before Tang Li also asked Jin Zheheng to call him husband…

Shen Yijin retracted his thoughts, took out a document, lowered his eyes and quickly browsed it.

After a while, the personal phone he kept at hand also vibrated, and the words “Jing Xun” appeared on the screen.

Shen Yijin immediately picked up the phone.

[Jing Xun: Are you still having a meeting, sir? Don’t overdo yourself, remember to eat at noon! ]

Two months after the official launch of the AI ​​chip, Jing Xun was not as busy as before.

But he usually wouldn’t come along with him to the meeting within the Shen Group.

It was obviously just a very simple line of advice, yet across the screen, Shen Yijin still seemed to see his smiling face.

A smile appeared on his face that had been expressionless all morning.

[Shen Yijin: Yeah, you too, Xiao Xun. ]

[Jing Xun: Hahaha, I finished eating the lunch made by the senior. 【picture】]

Shen Yijin clicked on it, and the picture sent by Jing Xun was a full set of exquisite lunchbox.

Inside, there were various kinds of food in different shapes and colors. At a glance, there were probably tamagoyaki, two kinds of stir-fried vegetables, marinated beef and boiled shrimp. The amount of each was not the same, obviously it was a meal for two people…

[Shen Yijin: Good. ]

After a brief chat with Jing Xun, he continued to work.

It was not until half an hour past the lunch time set by the company, and the backlog of documents on the desktop was almost processed that Shen Yijin got up and walked to the staff canteen downstairs.

“President Shen.”

“Hello, President Shen.”

All the people who met him always greeted him with their heads down, Shen Yijin answered them one by one, all the way to the canteen’s dining area.

At this time, most people had finished their meals, and the cafeteria had become less crowded.

But since everyone had finished eating, it also meant that there were no good dishes left.

Shen Yijin wasn’t picky either.

He quickly finished his lunch in the cafeteria and returned to his office to continue his work.

In the afternoon, before the meeting, Xiao Tang, the assistant who was in charge of work related to Yewei, ran over to deliver the documents.

It was a very important document, which urgently needed President Shen’s signature.

After Shen Yijin signed the document and the work report was finished, Xiao Tang would be dismissed by President Shen as before.

Unexpectedly, the boss suddenly turned his eyes toward him.

He asked, “Senior Pei… Can he cook?”

“Ah?” Although he had no idea why the boss asked that, Xiao Tang still answered truthfully: “Yes, the dishes made by the senior Pei are always delicious, and he can make any dish! I don’t know where he got the time to make a lunch box in the morning and bring it to the company so often…”

“But I think…. The desserts made by senior Pei are actually the best… Eh? Hey, he brought desserts today!”

When talking, Xiao Tang glanced at his mobile phone. It was completely a subconscious behavior.

Xiao Tang immediately changed into a sad expression: “What should I do, I have to go to many places this afternoon… I won’t be able to have this cake!”

Afternoon tea in Yiwei company had almost become a regular event. When you encounter problems and bottlenecks, you should eat something sweet, and when the research went particularly well, you should also eat something sweet to celebrate…

It was said that eating sweets can properly supplement the energy needed by the brain, which is suitable for those who use their brain a lot.

Whether this statement was true or not, the most important thing was that this afternoon tea culture had something to do with President Shen.

If it wasn’t for President Shen who invited the whole company to have afternoon tea, everyone would not be able to develop this disease…

Since President Shen was taking the lead, everyone had nothing to be afraid of.

It had been the company’s internal tacit rule that slacking off and other recreational activities weren’t allowed during work hours.

But time spent eating dessert did not count as work time.

Xiao Tang spent the whole morning running around with this document, and didn’t even have a good lunch. Now that he saw the tempting dessert, he suddenly felt that he let slip a hundred billion of dollars.

At this time, his boss broke through the wasteland, glanced at him, and raised his hand: “What dessert? Let me see.”

“Ah?”

Xiao Tang was puzzled, but handed over his phone and explained, “Here it is.”

Shen Yijin took the phone and glanced at the picture on the screen.

His movement paused.

Because on the chat interface, the one who sent this picture to Xiao Tang was none other than Jing Xun.

[Boss Xun Xun: Senior Pei’s new cake, waiting for you to come back! 【picture】]

The photo was a round cake that appeared eight inches in size. The shape was not fancy. The pure white and flawless surface was only covered with a layer of fruit, mainly strawberries.

Shen Yijin: “……”

Handing the phone back to Xiao Tang, Shen Yijin pinched the bridge of his nose and lowered his eyelashes: “There’s nothing more here, you can go.”

“Boss?” Subconsciously aware that the boss’s reaction might not be right, Xiao Tang didn’t immediately leave no matter how busy he was.

He didn’t know if he was thinking too much, but he still tried to explain: “President Yan asked me to go back to eat cake just because I used to free-load food at their laboratory. That’s why, after a long time, they will automatically think of me. Now, don’t get me wrong…”

Shen Yijin: “Yes.”

Xiao Tang: “…..”

Well this is a misunderstanding!

When he handed over the phone before, he was thinking that both he and Xun Xun were open minded people, and they often used WeChat to send each other messages, so the boss shouldn’t mind.

Unexpectedly……

His sincere heart was wasted, this is a mistake!

But Xiao Tang didn’t know that his family’s President Shen was concerned about another matter at this time.

He heard Shen Yijin ask: “You often go to the AI ​​laboratory, then do you think Jing Xun and Senior Pei…”

Halfway through the sentence, he stopped.

After pausing for a few seconds, he finally didn’t ask anything.

He just said, “Nothing.”

Xiao Tang: “…?”

A big question mark was drawn on his face. The boss said that it was nothing, and Xiao Tang could only leave the office with doubts.

Afterwards, Shen Yijin immersed himself in his work again.

This time, after only a few minutes, his vision returned to the phone.

Picking up the phone, Shen Yijin opened Jing Xun’s wechat moment.

Jing Xun had not set any permission on his Moment, and he had not updated it for a long time. The first content at the top was still a photo taken by the two of them together.

But just these few days, the food brought by Pei Qingnian was posted on Jing Xun’s Moment.

One was Pei Qingnian’s home-made lunch box.

Another one was a small dessert made by Pei Qingnian himself.

…

“President Shen, it’s time for the meeting.” Assistant Lu came over and knocked on the office door.

Shen Yijin was still expressionless, but after arranging the documents on the desk, he stood up and walked to the meeting room.

…He didn’t know if it was an illusion, but Assistant Lu always felt that when President Shen walked past him, the surroundings seemed chilly.

… This feeling wasn’t unfamiliar, and he had not experienced it for a long time.

It seemed that since Mr. Yan’s arrival, the whole company rarely felt this shuddering atmosphere again…

So what’s going on?

…it shouldn’t be a quarrel.

He really couldn’t imagine the quarrel between President Shen and Mr. Yan.

Among all the assistant secretaries, Assistant Lu hadn’t been here for too long, but at least he had been working here for quite some time.

Although he often couldn’t understand his boss’s temper, he felt that President Shen’s current appearance wasn’t a foul mood or anger, but he seemed to be… a little aggrieved?

…

Not only did Assistant Xiao Lu sense something wrong, but this afternoon, all layers of the Shen Group felt this long-lost terror again.

Obviously from the table, President Shen was the same as usual. He sat upright and perfectly straight, never getting angry.

His expression also remained the same, let alone the newly promoted supervisor, most of the people sitting in the conference room today were the elders of the Shen family, and some even watched Shen Yijin grow up, yet they couldn’t even see any difference on President Shen’s face.

But he gave off a more rigid feeling than this morning.

This added to the cold atmosphere improved the efficiency of the entire meeting.

–No one dared to slack off.

Everyone’s attention was focused and concentrated, for fear that Shen Yijin would suddenly ask a question that they couldn’t answer, or that they would get the wrong answer when they were nervous.

And President Shen was indeed a quick thinker.

He could always catch the key point in a small detail in a document or in a sentence inadvertently said by someone when reporting work, and then find the loophole or simply give a solution for this key point.

But this also meant that everyone’s brains had to work fast to keep up with President Shen’s rhythm. Not to mention answering his question, even his words were difficult to understand…

At 3:30 in the afternoon, Shen Yijin finished the meeting in advance and ended the meeting.

Immediately afterwards, he left the Shen’s Building.

The supervisors all breathed a sigh of relief when he left.

“…I don’t know what happened to President Shen today? It was as if he had eaten gunpowder.”

“Can’t say he’s eating gunpowder… President Shen didn’t get angry either.”

“When have you ever seen President Shen get angry?”

“…Yeah, sometimes it’s hard to just get a glance at him.”

Shen Yijin drove back to Yiwei directly.

There was no traffic jam at this time, and he soon returned to Yiwei. He looked around and didn’t see Jing Xun’s figure.

Jing Xun was not here.

Pei Qingnian was not here either.

No one answered the phone calls, when he asked other people in the lab, they were all confused and said they didn’t know.

The half-suppressed bad feeling was about to erupt. Shen Yijin stayed in place for a while, then turned around and took the elevator back to the underground garage… Pei Qingnian’s car wasn’t there.

Shen Yijin returned to his car and drove it all the way out of the underground garage in one direction.

.

Pei Qingnian now lived in a single apartment arranged by the company.

It was a small suite with an area of ​​70 to 80 square meters. It had one bedroom, one living room, one kitchen and one bathroom. It was very suitable for single workers to live alone. Most of the people in Yiwei live in this type of apartment.

Today, Pei Qingnian’s house welcomed a very special guest.

“Senior, hurry up, Sir will be back soon!”

In the small kitchen that wasn’t too big or too small, Jing Xun in white apron was standing in front of the cooking table, facing the cream in the basin that he didn’t know what to do with.

Jing Xun’s cheeks were pasted with a thin layer of white powder… If you look closely, the apron on his chest was not actually white, but it was stained with flour and cream.

Jing Xun had never been so embarrassed before.

Pei Qingnian: “…With the current indoor temperature, it’s not easy to whip the cream, you have to do it through cold water.”

Jing Xun blinked: “Why do it through cold water?”

“…How about we take it slow? You haven’t even touched the kitchen utensils before, so it’s not bad to be able to make a blank cake…” Pei Qingnian was helpless.

Although Jing Xun was indeed a talent in terms of IQ, it was also fair. When God opens a door to man, he will inevitably close a window.

Just like Jing Xun, his intelligence was full, but his life skills were always close to nothing.

Cooking was a knowledge that was endowed with. Those who were gifted didn’t need to be taught, those who weren’t gifted… even if all ingredients were weighed in advance with standard quantity and put into the pot, the final product still wasn’t delicious.

Unfortunately, his junior belonged to the latter.

Who would have thought that his junior, Jing Xun, who was extraordinary in wisdom and memory, and was almost regarded as a god by his peers in the professional field, couldn’t even make whip cream.

Pei Qingnian looked at Jing Xun, who was working hard, and the blank cake that was meticulously cut into a heart shape on the cooking table. He couldn’t help suggesting: “Actually, this blank cake is also very beautiful. I’m sure he would be touched after seeing it.”

Jing Xun’s answer was to just take a basin out, take some cold water and start to make whip cream.

He should know what the steps and principles of making whipped cream through the cold water were1This is a little confusing. I googled how to make whipped cream and the recipe said Fill a large bowl with ice water. Pour the cream in a smaller bowl and set it in the ice water, then mix it. This should be what JX is doing., and it wasn’t that he had not learned it when he studied chemistry. He just couldn’t react and was a little confused.

After all, it was really hard to make a cake.

There were too many steps!

The oven still emitted the creamy aroma of the chiffon cake that was baked not long ago. In the end, the heart-shaped blank cake placed on the side was the only finished product that Jing Xun had managed to make with great difficulty.

The cake was barely formed. During the cooling period, Jing Xun had to keep preparing the next ingredients.

Since Jing Xun insisted on going into battle in person and refused Pei Qingnian help, everything was dictated by senior and operated by him. The previous clean kitchen could simply be described as a complete mess.

Pei Qingnian couldn’t help being moved by this junior who was working hard, but Jing Xun didn’t allow him to intervene, so he could only watch by the side, full of anxiety.

Fortunately, after successfully whipping the cream, the later stage of applying the cream wasn’t too difficult.

Even if the novice Jing Xun couldn’t evenly spread it, it didn’t look bad after sprinkling all kinds of almond slices and fruits for decoration.

After a busy afternoon, the first cake produced by Jing Xun was finally put into the box before the evening peak hour.

Pei Qingnian even felt it was more tiring than any of their last rush to do the AI program.

“Thank you, senior! Don’t worry, I will do what I promised you.” Holding the semi-transparent cake box, Jing Xun smiled with arched eyebrows.

The next second, he noticed the mess in the kitchen and immediately put away his smile, embarrassed: “I contacted the housekeeping auntie to come and help clean up this place… She will be here soon! Senior, please bear with it for a while.”

It was his first time, he was really inexperienced and unprepared.

Meanwhile, Senior had a lot of materials and tools, and even the exquisite packaging boxes were ready-made, so Jing Xun could only come here to “wreck havoc”.

Pei Qingnian: “…Go wash your face first, you almost look like a tabby cat, I’ll take you back later.”

Pei Qingnian didn’t know what to say now.

Although there was nothing to do in the laboratory, he took a leave of absence just to come back and instruct others to do this… Forget it, who made Jing Xun his own junior in this world.

His junior had a sudden idea to make a love cake for his partner.

Then, as a senior, he could only accompany him.

But Pei Qingnian would also remember this matter for a long time. If Jing Xun had a whim and wanted to do something for his husband again… He would definitely refuse to accompany him!

It wasn’t that he disliked it or he was impatient.

In fact, his junior brother was really not suitable for doing hand-on work… Just watching from the side almost gave him a heart attack!

When the two arrived downstairs, unexpectedly, Shen Yijin’s driver was waiting at the door.

When Jing Xun arrived, he took the lead to get out of the car and said, “Mr. Yan, President Shen sent me to pick you up.”

“…..”

Jing Xun and Pei Qingnian looked at each other and asked the driver, “President Shen has already returned from the meeting?”

…

After saying goodbye to Pei Qingnian and getting into the driver’s car, Jing Xun later found out that the driver did not come to take him back to the company, but drove him to their home near the University of Science and Technology…

It was also after getting into the car that Jing Xun had time to look at his phone.

…Shen Yijin called him twice, but at that time he seemed to be making the whip cream with a hand mixer and didn’t hear it.

In addition to this, there was a WeChat, which was sent to him by Assistant Xiao Tang at two o’clock in the afternoon: [I feel a little wrong, the boss suddenly asked about you and old Pei, he must have misunderstood something, right? ]

Jing Xun: “…??”

The car drove all the way into the garage under the house building. When taking the elevator, Jing Xun couldn’t help ponder.

For example… It was only six o’clock in the evening, the time they got off work. But sir sent the driver to senior’s place to wait in advance, and arranged for him to go home directly…

This was clearly abnormal!

Also, how did the other party know that he was absent from work in the afternoon and went to senior’s place?

Sir shouldn’t have misunderstood anything right? ?

…He just wanted to surprise him…

Sir wasn’t too fond of sweets, and every time during the afternoon tea time in the office, Shen Yijin just watched them eat.

After being influenced by senior recently, Jing Xun also thought of making a lunch box for the person he liked…

But cooking was really hard.

He didn’t know how to cook a single dish, and if he wanted to make lunch with rich contents like Senior Pei, he didn’t know if he would be able to succeed.

It was also a coincidence that he didn’t have much work this afternoon, and Shen Yijin went to a meeting… Taking this opportunity, Jing Xun just wanted to make a little cake that wasn’t too sweet…

He looked down at the cake box that he still held in his hand. After getting off the elevator, Jing Xun swiped his fingerprints to unlock the door, and resignedly opened it.

… There should be no misunderstanding.

Sir didn’t look like the kind of person who would distrust him.

So will Shen Yijin be jealous?

On the way back, Jing Xun kept thinking about this question.

It was really hard to imagine what the sensible and restrained Shen Yijin would look like if he was jealous…

The moment the door opened, Jing Xun snapped back to his senses.

A fresh and spicy smell that was very stimulating to the appetite hit his face. It was a unique aroma formed by the mixture of stir-fried vegetables and stews!

Jing Xun entered the door in a daze. Shen Yijin, wearing a bear apron, walked out of the kitchen.

“You’re back? Just in time, wash your hands and eat.” Shen Yijin’s face was filled with a gentle smile.

Even after changing into home clothes, Shen Yijin’s little bear apron didn’t match him at all.

But the lovely little bear design on the apron did not affect his handsomeness in any way.

Jing Xun was still stunned in front of the door, Shen Yijin stepped forward, closed the door behind Jing Xun, lowered his head, and gently kissed his temple.

Jing Xun’s face was smeared with flour and cream just now. After washing it hastily, there was still a milky aroma on his head.

Shen Yijin was stunned for a moment, and quickly noticed the box in Jing Xun’s hand.

“Xiao Xun… what is this?”

“It’s… a present for you.”

As Jing Xun said that, he stuffed his things into Shen Yijin’s hands together with the packaging bag. Then he changed his shoes as fast as he could, and ran into the kitchen to see that four dishes had been placed on the table. In addition, there should still be one stew and one stir fry dish that hadn’t come out of the pot…
