The secretary suddenly realized: "...what Cheng Xi wants is Feng Yu?"

　　As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the boss nod slightly and praised him very politely: "Well, smart."

　　yes!

　　The secretary slowly opened his eyes.

　　Why hadn't he thought of it before?

　　According to current legal provisions, a husband and wife or a couple can make special arrangements on property in the form of an agreement, but if there is no agreement, after entering into a marriage relationship, both persons will have equal rights to deal with business investments or property that should be jointly owned.

　　If Cheng Xi just wants someone to support him and make him rich in the future, there are so many options in the circle, and many of them are richer than Mr. Ji. There is not much meaning for him to be with Mr. Ji.

　　After all, the money Chengxi gets from walking the runway for several luxury brands and the pay from acting is enough to ensure that he will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of his life.

　　Unless he had been eyeing the cash cow behind Mr. Ji from the beginning, Shi Tian, the executive director and CEO of Fengyu Group.

　　The secretary thought about it carefully for a while, then said, "Boss Zhou, how about I go to our people in Fengyu these days to sound out some information? Mr. Ji and Mr. Shi just took a few senior executives abroad for their honeymoon, and their company just happens to have no one in charge."

　　"……Honeymoon?"

　　Zhou Sifu narrowed his eyes slowly, "Why don't I know about this?"

　　The secretary wanted to cry but had no tears: "Boss Zhou, didn't you say you didn't want to listen?"

　　Zhou Sifu: “…”

　　He remembered that he had specifically told his secretary and assistant that from now on they would not have to report to him specifically about anything concerning Feng Yu and the other two.

　　Seeing Zhou Sifu's expression was a little stiff, the secretary quickly found a way for his boss to save face: "Mr. Ji and Mr. Shi specially chartered a plane this time to invite some of your former classmates and executives from several departments of the company to go on vacation to the Maldives. It seems to be four days and three nights, and all expenses are reimbursed."

　　Not to mention, just talking about employee benefits, Feng Yu sounds pretty good.

　　Unlike their Danofi, although the salary is high, the boss takes the employees out every day.

　　Hearing this, Zhou Sifu frowned.

　　He asked: "Which members of the management team have gone?"

　　"Ask Fang Bin, now."

　　The secretary didn't know why President Zhou suddenly cared so much about this, but he quickly picked up his phone and called their internal staff at Fengyu.

　　Danofi had "undercover" agents in several competing companies, including Feng Yu later. Fang Bin is currently a middle-level manager of Feng Yu and has direct access to the company's core management.

　　After a brief phone call with Fang Bin, the secretary came back to report to Zhou Sifu: "Mr. Zhou, we have learned that the executives who did not come to the company are the financial director, the head of the financing channel department, the secretary of the board of directors, and the legal director——"

After listening to the names on the list, Zhou Sifu remained silent for a long time but turned his gaze to the pot of lush green plants right in front of his desk.

　　There used to be an empty photo frame there, but I don't know when it was replaced by this pot of cactus full of thorns, with twisted roots and a fierce look.

　　Seeing that the boss's expression suddenly became strange, the secretary asked carefully: "...Mr. Zhou, is there something wrong?"

　　Zhou Sifu said: "Something happened."

　　--

　　Paradise Island in summer is a holy place for honeymoon trips. The clear seawater and the blue sky in the distance complement each other, and the scenery is breathtaking.

　　The couple booked a three-story hotel next to the beach to entertain their colleagues and friends who came to play with them.

　　On the evening of their arrival, they held a celebration party at the hotel's rooftop swimming pool. Friends from all over the world finally got together, played in the water, chatted, and had fun until midnight.

　　Standing at the gate, saying goodbye to the guests who were returning to their rooms one by one, Shi Tian asked her husband beside her: "Alin, do you want to take a walk on the beach?"

　　His face was flushed, not because he drank too much, but perhaps just because he was simply happy.

　　It was late at night, and there were few people on the beach. The lighthouse at the port and the stars in the sky were the only sources of light. Two people walked forward hand in hand, one in front and one behind, barefoot on the soft sand.

　　After walking along the coastline for a while, Shi Tian found a large flat reef and waved and smiled, asking Ji Yuanlin to climb up quickly. Because the location was too high, the two took off their suits tied them into a knot, and finally climbed to the top of the reef.

This novel is published on a different platform. Support the original author by finding the official source.

　　Lying side by side on the reef, Ji Yuanlin turned his head and found that the person next to him was listening attentively to the sound of waves hitting the rocks, with a serious expression on his face.

　　He originally wanted to say something, but he couldn't bear to break the quiet and peaceful atmosphere.

　　Since they started their business together, he and Shi Tian have been busy with work and social activities every day. It has been a long time since they did nothing but lie side by side like they do now.

　　Shi Tian said slowly: "That's great."

　　Ji Yuanlin: “Yeah.”

　　The moist sea breeze blew across his cheeks, blowing up the strands of hair on Shi Tian's forehead. He suddenly remembered the first time he met Shi Tian.

　　To get into the city's key school where his father taught, he spent a lot of time studying and became extremely nearsighted, so he had to wear a pair of thick glasses on his face. In addition, he had not grown up yet, and his back was slightly hunched. Since junior high school, he was often laughed at by his classmates. Over time, he became more and more introverted, not interested in socializing and doing everything alone.

　　He originally thought that things would be better after entering high school, but he didn't expect that the previous rumors were brought to the new school by his classmates, and still, no one was willing to be friends with him.

　　He still remembered that it was the first week of the first semester of his freshman year in high school. He had just moved into the school dormitory and was packing his pile of luggage alone in the dormitory.

　　Just as he squatted on the ground and was about to open the suitcase, he heard a loud "bang" behind him.

　　The dormitory door was kicked open from outside, and dust fell from the ceiling, covering his face.

　　“Ahem… Ahem…”

　　When the dust in the air completely dissipated, he coughed and saw the uninvited guest standing outside the door.

　　Not one, but a group.

　　The leading boy had sharp features, and slender limbs, and was wearing a white T-shirt. His school uniform was tied casually behind his waist, leaving only two large cuffs dangling in the air.

　　With a pair of bright eyes, the boy looked down at him slightly: "Five dollars, cash or student card?"

　　He was stunned for a moment and stammered, "...I, I don't have any money."

　　He knew that he had encountered a school bully.

　　Every school has this kind of small group, and they love to collect protection fees from people like them. Sure enough, they can't escape it here.

　　The boy narrowed his eyes and repeated his words with interest: "No money?"

　　The atmosphere was in a stalemate for a while. Not long after, the fat man following the boy suddenly widened his eyes and quietly poked the boy's back: "Brother Zhou, this this this this... this seems to be Teacher Ji's son."

　　The boy smiled, turned his head, and asked the fat man behind him: "Why, the son of the grade director doesn't have to pay?"

　　"No, no, that's not what I meant—"

　　At this moment, he heard an angry young man's voice suddenly coming from outside the door: "Zhou Sifu, who told you to collect the group fee like this?"

　　Hearing the voice of the person coming, the group of people at the door dispersed to both sides, and a tall and thin figure walked in from outside the door.

　　The boy's school uniform was spotless. On his right sleeve, he wore a red sleeve with the words "Student Union Duty Member" on it, and in his hand, he held a sky-blue registration board.

　　Just as the boy entered the dormitory, Fatty and Zhou Sifu whispered, "Sister-in-law is here."

　　Zhou Sifu immediately glared at him: "Fuck, Cai Tianjie, can you shut up?"

　　Crouching in front of the suitcase with his head in his hands, he raised his head cautiously and watched the young boy Shi Tian walk towards him step by step, bending down and stretching out his hand to him: "Classmate, are you okay?"

　　Pulling himself up from the ground, Shi Tian took out a pack of tissues from his trouser pocket and handed it to him: "Your face is all dirty, junior brother, wipe it with tissue first."

　　After helping him straighten the suitcase that had fallen to the ground, Shi Tian turned around and asked Zhou Sifu who was standing at the door coldly, "Did you kick the door?"

　　Zhou Sifu lazily leaned against the eaves of the door, spread out his hands, and said innocently: "This door doesn't work. I can't open it for a long time. If you don't believe me, ask Tianjie."

　　The fat man following behind him quickly responded: "Yes, yes, this door is indeed difficult to open, so Brother Zhou used his foot--"

　　"You guys go back to class first. Come with me."

　　After saying something to Zhou Sifu at the door, Shi Tian walked out without even looking back.

　　"Tsk, tsk, tsk," Zhou Sifu raised his eyebrows, turned his head deliberately, and said sarcastically to Shi Tian outside the door, "What a high-ranking official, do you think you are so great?"

　Although he said this, seeing that Shi Tian was about to go downstairs, Zhou Sifu hurriedly put his school uniform on his shoulders and chased after him cursing.

　　Watching the group of people leave, he stood there in a daze for a long time, until the bell for class rang in his ears. He then lowered his eyes, slowly clenched his five fingers, and grasped the pack of cartoon tissues.

　　Pulling himself away from his memories, Ji Yuanlin realized that the person next to him hadn't spoken for a long time. He raised his arm and wanted to hold Shi Tian's hand, only to find that Shi Tian had closed his eyes as if he had fallen asleep.

　　After a while, he suddenly heard Shi Tian ask in a calm voice: "Ah Lin, do you think I'm stupid?"

　　Ji Yuanlin was stunned: "...what?"

　　Shi Tian smiled: "Are you hiding something from me?"

　　Hearing Shi Tian's words, Ji Yuanlin's body suddenly stiffened, and his outstretched hand stayed in mid-air unconsciously.

　　He moved his throat, trying to keep his voice relaxed and natural: "Tiantian is so smart, how could he be a fool."

　　Shi Tian curled the corners of his mouth as if he was a little hesitant about his answer.

　　Seeing Shi Tian’s reaction, Ji Yuanlin’s heart skipped a beat.

　　Did Shi Tian already know something?

　　Noticing that his hand was still hanging in the air, Shi Tian grabbed his hand and said, "Don't think about it. Go to sleep."

　　There are cliffs under my feet, and the waves rush towards the reefs and finally return to silence. Just like a person's life, you can't bring anything with you when you are born, and you can't take anything with you when you die.

　　Holding Shi Tian's warm palm, Ji Yuanlin suddenly had a thought he had never had before.

　　Or end it all here, right now.

　　He neither left nor escaped.

　　He and Shi Tian have been together for eight years. He once loved this man deeply and still loves him now. He doesn't want Shi Tian to hate him for the rest of his life.

　　The broken capital chain, the huge debts owed, the ensuing legal disputes, and everything that is about to happen can be completely ended today.

　　Just do one thing.

　　Holding Shi Tian's hand, he jumped down with him.

　　He could take Shi Tian with him to die, and they could still be lovers in the next life.

　　Thinking of this, Ji Yuanlin clenched his five fingers and grabbed Shi Tian's wrist nervously.

　　“Buzz—buzz—”

　　Hearing the cell phone vibrating in his trouser pocket, Shi Tian opened his eyes and found that Ji Yuanlin had sat up from in front of the reef at some point, and was looking at him with a strange look, which was a bit hazy and mixed with a hint of madness.

　　Ji Yuanlin held his right hand tightly, so Shi Tian could only use his other hand to fumble for his cell phone.

　　I just didn't check my phone for a while, but there were several missed calls on my phone, all from the same unfamiliar number with no notes.

　　He was about to call back when a notification popped up on the chat app on his phone, reminding him that someone had just sent him a new message.
