Chapter 992: Butterfly
Chapter 992 Butterfly
Chu Chen turned to look at Pei Ziheng.
His own boss had dark eyes and looked intently at the girl fighting downstairs.
In Chu Chen’s memory, the boss had never looked at anyone or anything with such eyes. At that moment, he understood the importance of this girl in the boss's heart. His ability to follow his boss for so many years was not just due to luck. He was very good at observing people's emotions, so he immediately asked the orphanage director: "Who is that girl?"
The orphanage director also noticed the children fighting and looked embarrassed. He told them that the girl's name was Xia Ling. She was not used to the rules and often fought with other children, which made the two distinguished guests laugh.
Pei Ziheng interrupted the dean: "I want to adopt her."
is used in an affirmative sentence and cannot be doubted.
The orphanage director was stunned for a moment, with a flash of joy between his brows, and then said cautiously: "She is the most beautiful child in our orphanage. She sings well, is good at sports, and is very smart and healthy. Many families want to adopt her. But she also has a younger sister who is seriously ill. Xiao Ling has long vowed that if she wants to adopt her, she must take her younger sister with her for treatment, otherwise she will never agree. "
Pei Ziheng glanced at Chu Chen and said, "Go and handle the adoption procedures for their sisters."
The dean was overjoyed. Being able to follow such a powerful man, the two children were saved.
He diligently led Chu Chen to go through the formalities. Chu Chen asked the dean: "What does Xia Ling usually like? What are her living habits like? Tell me all about it." He is not only good at observing words and expressions, but also careful. Since he is valued by the boss, A good person should take good care of all aspects. This is an essential quality for a confidant.
On this day, when Pei Ziheng brought Xia Ling back to his residence, all the information about her life story, eating habits, hobbies, and even the fact that she was bitten by a poodle when she was a child, so she was afraid of dogs... had been sorted out. They were piled neatly and thickly on Pei Ziheng's desk.
Chu Chen knows how to measure things.
He didn't buy anything directly for Xia Ling, nor was he eager to please her. He just provided everything he found to his master, and asked the master to take care of the beautiful plaything with his own hands.
Yes, in Chu Chen's view, Xia Ling is just a plaything.
Just like a bouquet of delicate flowers in a roadside flower shop, or a beautiful cat in a pet shop. Someone passing by thinks it is new, so they buy it and take it home to play with for a few days. Feed her, change her water, and make a nest made of gold and silver. Everything is fine while you are pampering her. Even her little disobedience and willfulness are so cute. But if she falls out of favor one day, she will become the most worthless garbage in the world, which can be destroyed at any time. Abandoned like worn out shoes.
Chu Chen has always seen clearly.
His right sense of proportion made Pei Ziheng trust him more and entrusted him with the task of taking care of this delicate cat. So, he became Xia Ling's manager, nanny, bodyguard, assistant, punching bag...
And so on, all imaginable identities.
Under Pei Ziheng's connivance, the girl became willful and arrogant, causing trouble everywhere and being lawless.
At first, Chu Chen could take care of her calmly, but when she threw a prop she didn't like into his face backstage at the concert, everything changed. "I said I don't want the blue one! It's so ugly!" She yelled angrily, irritating him, "Where's Pei Ziheng? Are you just going to deal with me if he doesn't come to my performance?!" Chu Chen knew that that day she She was in a bad mood and had a quarrel with Pei Ziheng before going out. The reason was that Pei Ziheng had an important investment project to negotiate and could not come to her live performance.
She was spoiled, and she didn't mean to target him. The prop was thrown in the wrong direction and landed on his face.
He wiped his face, the bridge of his nose was injured, and blood kept flowing out, which was scary. But he still said to her in a good temper: "Xiao Ling, you go on stage first. I will fire this prop master. I will also keep an eye on the boss. I will tell you as soon as he finishes the meeting."
“I don’t care if he finished the meeting or not!” She was still losing her temper, so she turned around and stepped onto the stage.
Only then did the silent backstage staff dare to step forward and hurriedly treated his wounds. One of the makeup artists said: "Ms. Xia has gone too far. She doesn't slap people in the face..."
Before she finished speaking, Chu Chen had already glared at her sternly.
“Don’t speak ill of Xiao Ling.” He warned in a gloomy tone.
The dressing room was silent again. Faintly, the protest from the prop master outside could be heard: "You can't just fire me! That prop was originally blue. Miss Xia just confirmed it yesterday and I got it right!"
Chu Chen closed his eyes slightly.
He knew very well that the prop master was right. It was clearly something that had been confirmed by Xia Ling yesterday, but it was too late to change it just before the show started. But, so what? Who told Xia Ling to be favored by Pei Ziheng now? Boss Pei would stand by her unconditionally no matter whether it was justified or not. The so-called rightness is simply vulnerable in the face of power - as long as she says "I don't like it" gently, it is enough for everyone here, maybe even him, Chu Chen, to lose their jobs. Just like back then, so what if his father did the right thing? In the face of power, the so-called justice of the weak is just a joke.
Chu Chen raised his head, and the blood in his nose flowed back and fell into his throat, which was bitter and fishy.
Xia Ling is the type of person he hates the most. They are unreasonable and live a wanton and indulgent life. Unexpectedly, he remembered that when he was twelve years old, his family suffered great changes and he fell into an extremely miserable situation. But what about her twelve years old? He was so lucky to be adopted by a giant in the entertainment industry. With just a beautiful face, he could get everything at his fingertips without using any brains that many people could not achieve in their lifetime... In fact, he, Chu Chen, had struggled for so many years, and now in the Emperor , her status in front of Pei Ziheng is not as good as her "plaything".
He was agitated and tried hard to suppress his hatred for her.
After the concert, Xia Ling returned to the backstage and saw a band-aid on the bridge of his nose. She was a little surprised and asked, "What happened to your nose?" She had long forgotten that she had hurt him.
Chuchen smiled and said calmly: "A little injury, it's not a problem."
She stared at him for a long time, then remembered that she had hit him, and exclaimed with an "Ah": "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Chu Chen, I didn't mean it, I was too angry at the time and accidentally...and I'm about to go on stage." I'm in a hurry...I'm sorry, are you okay?"
He still smiled: "I said it's okay. I'm very touched that you care about me so much."
Compared to the unlucky prop master who was fired, what does his minor injury mean? Chu Chen's heart felt cold. He looked at the beautiful girl in front of him and calculated how long it would take for the boss to get tired of her.
