I Am A Boss Mommy That Wants To Slack Novel - Chapter 348
348 Shen Family
Shen Ruojing cast another glance at Chu Cichen.
When she recalled what the man had said last night…Anyway, if she could help Old Master Shen restore some ancient zither music manuals, maybe he wouldn’t implicate them in his rage.
They might have gotten revenge on Shen Wanying, but it was true that they didn’t give any face to the Shen Family.
Great families would place an emphasis on their prestige, and they would give each other face when it came to doing things.
!!
For example, for the matter yesterday, most family leaders would only complain about Shen Wanying’s evil deeds to Old Master Shen, and the Shen Family would be the ones to give the punishment. However, they all knew that the Bai Family was weaker than the Shen Family.
If they really had given Shen Wanying to Old Master Shen, maybe the Shen Family might make some compromises in terms of benefits, but there wouldn’t be any qualitative harm to Shen Wanying. Hence, they had decided to ignore this option.
As Shen Ruojing pondered, she finished the last stance of her morning taichi exercise.
She had exercised for an hour, and Chu Cichen also accompanied her by jogging for an hour.
There was some sweat on her body, but Chu Cichen’s shirt was soaked. His clothes were stuck to his stomach area, and one could faintly see his abs,
Shen Ruojing lifted her brows after she saw this.
Chu Cichen was originally planning to walk to the room, but after seeing her look, he suddenly stopped and lifted his shirt to wipe the sweat on his face.
His abs were fully revealed.
It was indeed nice to look at and also caused those who looked at it to feel a sense of ‘personality’.
Shen Ruojing couldn’t help but take a few more glances at the abs.
Chu Cichen’s lips curled slightly and just so coincidentally, a servant passed by his side. He then immediately pulled his shirt down, acting as though not everyone was qualified to see his abs.
Tsk.
Shen Ruojing involuntarily laughed.
Her peach blossom eyes shone as she retracted her gaze. They then went to their respective rooms to shower.
On their way back, they walked past the living room and coincidentally met Chu Cimo who was rubbing his eyes as he went down to take breakfast for Bai Shanshan. He looked like he had just woken up, and this caused Matriarch Chu to reprimand him angrily.
“Look at your elder brother and sister-in-law, they went to exercise early in the morning. What about you?”
Chu Cimo couldn’t help but pout, “They are merely exercising, but when it comes to true combat, how can they be a match for a disciple of the Valor Gate…?”
He spoke the latter part of his sentence in a very low voice, but there was a faint sense of pride in it.
He was a rare genius of the Valor Gate back then! In the past, his teacher was incredibly excited after accepting him as a disciple. His teacher had even told him that in recent years, the only one who was more talented than him was a martial uncle…
Matriarch Chu started. “What did you say?”
“Nothing much.” Chu Cimo acted coquettishly. “Mother, your daughter-in-law was injured and she is hungry now!”
Matriarch Chu immediately added, “Why are you moving so slow then? Your body is too weak!”
Chu Cimo then brought the breakfast upstairs.
Shen Ruojing and Chu Cichen went to the second floor and returned to their respective rooms. At this moment, Chu Cichen took the initiative to say, “After we are done showering, let’s meet downstairs.”
Shen Ruojing. “?”
Why did this sentence sound so ambiguous?
However, she could see that the man had a straight face.
She must probably be thinking too much.
After the two of them showered, they headed down and ate breakfast together.
Yun Zhengyang, Madam Yun, and Yun Wei had gone back to Ford City early this morning. They couldn’t possibly ignore the management of such a large entertainment company like the Yun Corporation for too long.
Because Yun Yiheng had to restore some musical scores in the Shen Family and also play the zither for Shen Yuansong, he temporarily stayed in the Chu Manor.
He had originally wanted to rent a house outside or buy a small condo to stay in. However, Madam Yun didn’t agree and was afraid he might make trouble if he lived alone. Hence, she got Matriarch Chu to help look after her son.
During breakfast, Chu Cichen received a voice message. He wasn’t bothered that Shen Ruojing was here and directly clicked it open. After that, Lu Cheng’s voice rang out. “Bro Chen, the Shen Family is too much! Our medicine has all been approved in Sea City, but they actually imposed a lockdown on our goods. Also, for the batch of bacteria we recently planted, they just contacted me, saying that they wanted to buy it at one-tenth of the normal price. What is the difference between their actions and a robbery? F*ck!”
One could hear that Lu Cheng’s voice was filled with rage.
Shen Ruojing then looked at Chu Cichen.
The man’s expression was calm and no one could tell whether he was happy or sad. This was especially so for his pair of phoenix eyes. They seemed like they could contain the world and were boundlessly deep.
His long finger clicked on the second voice message and Lu Cheng’s voice rang out once more. “Shen Zhong is the one in charge of this matter. He is none other than Shen Wanying’s father. He just contacted me, saying that he wanted to have a proper negotiation about the pricing and told me to tell you to personally head to the Shen Family for the discussion.”
Lu Cheng’s third voice message was sent over.
Before Chu Cichen could play it, Lu Cheng sent a text over. [F*ck! The Shen Family doesn’t want to give us face. I think we should just reveal our overseas identity and directly crush the Shen Family!]
Chu Cichen replied. [You are so barbaric.]
Lu Cheng. “?”
If the Shen Family was crushed, Jingjing would have no reason to continue staying in the Chu manor.
Now, she only chose to remain because she was worried about the Chu Family.
After Chu Cichen replied to Lu Cheng, he then lifted his head and looked at Shen Ruojing. He smiled. “How coincidental, it seems that we are going to the Shen Manor together today.”
Shen Ruojing nodded.
She lowered her head and ate two mouthfuls of porridge before involuntarily looking at him. “A batch of your medicine is lockdown by them?”
Chu Cichen sighed and looked a little embarrassed. “Correct.”
Shen Ruojing lifted her eyebrows and suddenly asked, “What are those ingredients?”
Chu Cichen explained, “The Chu Corporation purchased Professor Z’s biological Petri dish technology and used it to cultivate a batch of bacteria. Many pharmacies need this raw material, but you should understand that the Shen Family has always been purchasing them from overseas. I originally wanted them to develop in the domestic market.”
A moment later, Shen Ruojing laughed. “Oh, that’s the case? There’s no rush then!”
Chu Cichen paused.
Shen Ruojing continued, “I…I mean one of my friends said that the environment for cultivating bacteria is still according to the standards of the past. But right now, the global environment is changing and the global temperature rose by 0.5 degrees last year. This will affect bacterial growth. Bacterial farmers from overseas don’t have time to make the adjustments yet, hence, the bacteria they cultivate will surely have problems sooner or later.”
Chu Cichen naturally knew all these. This was why he was willing to pay a high price to purchase Prof. Z’s petri dish patent.
The data within was much more accurate.
After the bacteria from overseas showed problems, the researchers would research suitable temperatures and nutrients to cultivate the bacteria. However, they would require two months no matter what.
He didn’t expect Shen Ruojing to know all these as well.
But he pretended he was ignorant. “In that case…did your friend say roughly how long will it take for the current overseas bacteria to start having problems?”
Shen Ruojing smiled as she looked at him.
She felt as though he had managed to guess something.
Shen Ruojing then answered, “At most a week. If the Shen Family don’t want to buy your stock now, they will be begging to purchase it for you a week later.”
Chu Cichen laughed. “Okay, in that case, I’ll wait for them to kneel and beg me.”
After the two finished breakfast, they brought Yun Yiheng along and headed to Shen Manor.
Shen Ruojing felt some anticipation on her way there.
It was said that the four great families in the capital were equivalent to the four major enterprises of China. They had robust might and powerful influence. She had already been to the Bai Family, and she couldn’t help but wonder what the Shen Family would be like.
