Chapter 35:
"Cousin!"
The smile on Li Mingxuan's face turned into concern when he saw Shen Xi's pale face, "Why, didn't you sleep last night?"
Shen Xi nodded and opened the door, "Have a nightmare."
Li Mingxuan followed behind him, "Would you like to sleep for a while?"
Shen Xi's sentence 'sleeping together' is very natural, just like asking Li Mingxuan 'are we going to eat together', Li Mingxuan's heart skipped a beat, looking at Shen Xi's eyes not Just kidding, struggling for a while, he nodded hesitantly.
Shen Xi was very satisfied with Li Mingxuan's nod, and took the initiative to reach out and hold Li Mingxuan all the way through the living room and back to the bedroom. The bedroom was still the same as when he slept before, the curtains were drawn tightly, and the light was dim. Shen Xi calmly changed her clothes into pajamas, climbed into the bed and took up half of it, leaving the other half for Li Mingxuan.
Li Mingxuan's eyes couldn't help but stick to Shen Xi's body, his eyes were deep. Noticing that Shen Xi had left half of the space for himself, Li Mingxuan exhaled calmly, suppressing the thought of wanting to throw Shen Xi down in his mind, and lay down beside Shen Xi gently.
Shen Xi took the initiative to rub over, huddled in Li Mingxuan's arms and fell asleep.
Li Mingxuan's heart full of emotion and desire finally turned into pity when he saw Shen Xi's pale face, he reached out and hugged him and patted him.
This is not the first time Shen Xi has taken the initiative to rub into his arms, almost every night that Li Mingxuan stays, Shen Xi will rub over. Li Mingxuan faintly noticed that Shen Xi seemed to be very attached to his embrace, not affectionate or lustful, but just liked him to hold him.
Recalling Shen Xi's childhood experience, Li Mingxuan couldn't tell the complicated feelings in his heart, but he hugged the person in his arms even tighter.
Time flies so fast, it's almost evening. Li Mingxuan was leaning on the head of the bed, flipping through the entertainment magazines Shen Xi had placed beside the bed, while paying attention to Shen Xi who was asleep in his arms. Seeing that Shen Xi was waking up, Li Mingxuan put down the magazine in his hand and subconsciously touched Shen Xi's messy hair.
Shen Xi opened her eyes in a daze, Li Mingxuan said softly, "Awake?"
Looking at Li Mingxuan in confusion, Shen Xi did not answer, but planned to continue sleeping.
Li Mingxuan patted him gently, "It will be tomorrow if I go to bed again, isn't Xiaoxi going to have dinner?"
Xu Shi remembered that she hadn't eaten all day, Shen Xi struggled to get up, rubbed her forehead, and said very naturally, "What to eat?"
"What would Xiaoxi like to eat?"
"Eat Sichuan cuisine." Shen Xi said casually.
The food that Li Mingxuan packed and brought back last time was thrown away by him because it took too long. Although Shen Xi didn't eat it, he remembered the taste. At this time, he had just woken up, and he slept well, and he remembered for some reason.
Li Mingxuan nodded, "Okay, I'll let Ye Han cook it for you."
"Ye Han?"
"The one you saw last time."
Shen Xi understood who Li Mingxuan was talking about after thinking for a while. Last time he lost his temper at Li Mingxuan at that Sichuan restaurant and was looked at, obviously that person was Ye Han . Although I don't know what the relationship between Ye Han and that store is, since Li Mingxuan said this, Ye Han must be very good at it, and Shen Xi will naturally not refuse.
Quickly packed up and changed her clothes, Shen Xi was about to go out with Li Mingxuan, when Lao K's phone suddenly came in.
Shen Xi calmly connected, "Xinghai, what's wrong?"
Propose to the board of directors to give up half of the daily chemical line contract that Shen Ji negotiated."
Shen Xi made a "uh", "Since he has let go, then we will release the news early tomorrow morning."
"No problem!" Old K replied succinctly, and then gossip, "Who are you with now?" "Wait, don't say it, let me guess!"
"Li Mingxuan?" Old K said tentatively.
Shen Xi laughed, "Well, cousin is by my side."
"You are such a lunatic!" Old K felt that only this sentence could describe Shen Xi's behavior.
Shen Xi chuckled, "Thank you for the compliment!"
Cousin attracted Li Mingxuan's attention, he turned to look at Shen Xi, "Your friend?"
Shen Xi nodded and said calmly, "Wang Xinghai, cousin, do you still remember him? He was very impressed with his cousin."
Li Mingxuan thought of the squeamish voice last time, and was not very happy with Shen Xi getting along with him, but he felt that he had no position, so he could only pretend not to care and ask, "He is looking for you what's up?"
Shen Xi casually said, "I started a film and television company with him. He just called and said that Chen Zhiwei had signed in. We are planning to make a movie and announce the news to recruit people."
"Make a movie?" Li Mingxuan was very surprised by Shen Xi's words, "How could Xiao Xi think of doing this?"
A sneer flashed across Shen Xi's mouth, "Because I can't do anything else, only this is the easiest, just write a check."
Li Mingxuan was blocked so much that she could not speak, Shen Xi seemed to feel that it was not enough, and added, "Since I don't plan to join the Shen family, I have to find something to do, otherwise I'll just keep going like this. Hanging around, how can my father feel at ease? Maybe he thought I was planning something behind the scenes."
Shen Xi's words contained a touch of mockery, Li Mingxuan couldn't tell how he felt after hearing it, he only felt extremely bitter. He wanted to open his mouth to comfort Shen Xi, but rationally he understood that Shen Xi doing this was the best choice, and he was very entangled for a while.
Shen Xi didn't seem to know anything about Li Mingxuan's entanglement. He got into the car with great interest and urged Li Mingxuan to drive quickly. He was really hungry.
Li Mingxuan looked at Shen Xi's excited smiling face, and a faint thought appeared in his heart, if Shen Xi really had no intention of Shen Shi, would he and Shen Xi be hindered a little less? But after thinking about it, even if Shen Xi made it clear that he had no intentions of Shen Shi, it was only to make his interests less entangled, and the blood relationship between the two would not change. Shen Xi probably never imagined what kind of filthy thoughts she was holding with him, right?
Li Mingxuan's heart was troubled by Shen Xi's words, ups and downs along the way.
In the early morning of the next day, various media who have been following the Yunrou incident soon discovered that a new statement appeared on Yunrou's official website.
"All products of Yunrou will re-screen the raw materials and replace the formula to upgrade the products in the near future, and said that dioxane is used as the residue of shampoo raw materials, because technical problems exist not only in Yunrou's products And it exists in all shampoo products currently on the market, but the upgraded Yunrou new products will completely solve this problem."
This statement was quickly reprinted like crazy, all brands in the daily chemical market, whether foreign or state-owned, were shot, and the dioxane incident was once again pushed to a climax.
Although Yunrou's official website responded quickly and deleted the news, and announced that this news was not released by Yunrou, but was hacked and tampered with previous reports, but it may have a negative impact on the daily chemical industry. In other words, dioxane, which has been tabooed by the entire industry, has been completely exposed.
Everything began to develop according to the memory of Shen Xi's last life, because of this statement, the entire daily chemical industry was involved, and countless shampoo brands, large and small, had never heard of it. One after another came out to refute the rumors, but soon an inspection report of a shampoo brand that detected dioxane residues was revealed. Looking at the dense brand names on it, the media was completely boiling!
He was mocked by Gao Qiulin with several small directors at the board meeting just now, which made Father Shen really lose face.
Shen Ji stood in front of Father Shen, with a hint of disappointment in his eyes, "Father, do you also think that this news was posted by me?"
Father Shen lowered his face, "It doesn't matter what I think, what matters is what other people think."
Shen Ji didn't say anything, Shen's father continued, "Do you know that when this statement is made, the entire daily chemical industry is offended, even if the dioxane incident passes, do you think Yun Rou can still continue to exist?"
Shen's father's words seemed to imply something, Shen Ji couldn't help but refute, "If Yunrou wants to expand, she must offend the entire daily chemical industry. What is the difference between it and now?"
"What's the difference between healthy competition and being squeezed out by the entire industry?" Father Shen said angrily.
Shen Ji calmed down, "This statement is not at my own instigation, but it is ultimately because of my mistakes, no matter what kind of punishment the board of directors will impose, I will do my best to bear it. It's just that Yun Rou is all my hard work, and it is very important to Shen's future transformation, and I hope the board of directors can take any decision of Yun Rou seriously."
Speaking of this, Shen Ji could not help softening his voice, "Father, you said you would always support me."
Know that whatever I do is for your own good."
"Father?" Shen Ji had a bad premonition.
Shen's father's next words quickly confirmed Shen Ji's hunch, "The board of directors held a meeting this morning and proposed to give up the half-negotiated daily chemical line contract, and I agreed."
"What?" Shen Ji said in disbelief, "Father, do you know how important that contract is to Yunrou now? We have already paid the deposit, and now the contract is suddenly stopped, Not only can the deposit not be recovered, but the company also has to pay liquidated damages, how can you agree, father?" Father Shen glanced at Shen Ji and said lightly, "Since the company's next plan is to cut Yun Rou, cut Yun ahead of schedule. What's wrong with the soft daily chemical line?"
Shen Ji only felt his mind buzzing, and immediately shouted, "Father, Yunrou is my hard work."
The expression on Father Shen's face was very cold, "Aji, in your heart is Yun Rou more important or Shen Shi?"
"Father!" Shen Ji was surprised that Father Shen would suddenly ask this.
Father Shen said coldly, "Shen Xi will be 23 years old soon, you won't forget what the lawyer's will said?"
"Father!" Shen Ji's tone softened.
"Once Shen Xi turns 23 years old, the will made by your grandfather will take effect immediately, and the shares that have been entrusted to me all these years will be equally distributed to your three brothers. The three of you will have the same right to speak on the board of directors. Aji, have you ever thought about whether the people on the board of directors are willing to let you take the top position or are willing to see Shen Xi take the top position? "
Shen Ji fell silent, and Father Shen said coldly, "I don't know what Gao Qiulin's idea is, but I want to use Yun Rou to pick things up to weaken your influence and shake everyone's opinion. Your confidence. Ah Ji, now is a critical moment. Without the support of Shen Shi, Yun Rou is doomed to be powerless, but if you insist on supporting Yun Rou, you will run counter to the resolution of the board of directors. Shareholders will not see If it is too long, they can only see the immediate benefits. Without the support of the shareholders, everything will be empty talk. Yun Rou made a lot of money before, and now that it is cut off, the shareholders will feel that they have gotten rid of the current situation. Dilemma, you will feel that you have a decision.”
Shen Ji continued to be silent, and Father Shen slowed his voice, "A Ji, I know that Yun Rou has a special meaning to you, and Yun Rou has a special meaning to me. But now At this very moment, before your grandfather's will is published, you must absolutely establish your heir status."
Shen Ji silently listened to Father Shen's words, said nothing, and said in a low voice, "Father, I understand, I'll go out first."
Father has worked hard all his life for the benefit of Shen Shi, but in the end, he has not overcome the guilt in his heart for Shen Xi. If it wasn't for his father's will back then, why would Aji be in such a dilemma today.
An overwhelming desire to be loved, cared for, and comforted can lead to a morbid emotional need if this feeling is too strong. During Shen Xi's growth, both maternal love and family care were actually very lacking. I think he belongs to skin hunger o(╯□╰)o
