Novel Full Chapter 142 - 142 142 The Only One I Like is You
Chapter 142: Chapter 142: The Only One I Like is You Chapter 142: Chapter 142: The Only One I Like is You Shen Yurou just couldn’t understand!
Clearly, her looks, talent, and upbringing surpassed Qingwu’s. She had always received the best and most elite education since childhood, so how could she fall short to Qingwu, who came from such a rural backwater?
She stared at the report on her phone. The marketing accounts under Shen Shushan were nearly praising Qingwu’s painting to the skies!
Shen Yurou’s heart ached as if it were dripping blood!
She looked at Mrs. Shen, who breathed weakly, and felt aggrieved in an instant.
Why could Qingwu shine and succeed outside while she was stuck in the cold, lifeless hospital with this half-dead old woman?
Since Mrs. Shen had divorced Elder Shen, the identity of being the Shen family’s matriarch had nothing to do with her anymore.
Shen Yurou looked at Mrs. Shen, stood up coldly, and left the ICU without looking back.
Having her stay here accompanying this old woman, while the Shen family wanted to send her to Germany never to return, was just wishful thinking!
Shen Yurou dialed Su Wenyin’s number again.
“Fourth Young Master Su, can we discuss what we talked about last time? This time, there won’t be any mistakes!”
“Find a place to stay, and I’ll contact you again.”
Su Wenyin was about to hang up when Shen Yurou hurriedly spoke, “I… I’m out of money…”
“You are Shen family’s daughter, yet you don’t even have enough for a hotel? Never mind, I’ll transfer some to you.”
Su Wenyin frowned, his eyes filled with disgust and disdain. Even as the Shen family’s daughter, she ended up like this—clearly, her brain was just for show.
After hanging up, Shen Yurou looked at the extra money in her account and left the hospital without looking back.
…
Meanwhile.
Qingwu painting alongside Master Ji Changfeng had already spread within the industry.
When Annie handed Pei Jue the phone, Pei Jue was in the middle of a merger meeting. It was at a critical point of calculating financial risks, and the group of partners was all focused with bated breath. Suddenly, they saw their cold and iron-blooded boss unexpectedly smile!
And he smiled indulgently, with an expression so gentle it could seemingly drip water, making everyone in the room break into a cold sweat…
It wasn’t until Assistant Annie explained that they realized that the boss’s fiancée, the Shen family’s young lady, was actually Master Ji Changfeng’s direct disciple!
Such an outstanding young lady from a noble family, no wonder the boss wore a look of such tenderness. It seemed she was truly cherished.
The partners started to whisper among themselves.
“I watched the live stream of Lady Shen’s birthday; that scene… the Shen family must really love this daughter.”
“No joke, wouldn’t you pamper your daughter if she were this amazing?”
“If my daughter were Master Ji Changfeng’s disciple, I’d feel like I hadn’t promoted it properly if there was even one dog in Beijing unaware of it!”
…
Pei Jue watched Qingwu in the video. Her way of painting was also beautiful, with graceful and elegant muscle lines on her arms, each movement like an elf dancing.
“Save the video.”
Since he couldn’t be there in person, he wanted to see more of his girl shining brightly.
Annie replied appropriately, “It’s already stored. I selected the best taken by the media and saved them on your phone.”
Pei Jue nodded in satisfaction and continued the meeting with the partners.
However, it was obvious to all sharp-eyed that their boss was impatient.
What should have been a three-hour asset evaluation was completed in half an hour. While signing, Pei Jue asked coolly, “What time is it?”
Annie: “Six o’clock. The exhibition ended, and the young lady hasn’t finished work yet. Elder Shen has already gone home.”
Pei Jue capped the pen and pushed the signed documents forward.
The partners looked up, and he had already disappeared from the conference room!
…
The gallery exhibition ended quickly.
The media reluctantly left the venue, and many wanted to interview Qingwu, but Shen Shushan blocked them all.
Being a superstar idol and the latest grand slam award-winning actor, Shen Shushan faced the cameras with a generous demeanor, and even a slight smile made the photographers content!
It’s well known that Shen Shushan is synonymous with popularity in the entertainment industry!
After greeting the media, Shen Boyi sent all the elderly gentlemen home.
Elder Shen looked at Qingwu approvingly and patted her hand, “Xiaowu, you did very well, but don’t wear yourself out. You’re the youngest in the family; you don’t need to work so hard. But Grandpa is proud of you!”
Shen Dongli chimed in, “Your parents are proud of you too! But don’t exhaust yourself! For any gallery matters in the future, look for Dad directly; there’s no need for my daughter to worry about such trifles!”
He had just taken the opportunity to glance at all the gallery accounts, hoping to help his precious daughter check for any deceitful practices, only to find everything was handled by her already.
His daughter, Shen Dongli’s daughter, was truly a genius!
“I understand, I’m not tired.”
After sending off the Shen family members, there were still many artists standing in front of Qingwu’s painting, unwilling to leave.
“Younger Miss Shen… no, President Shen, can we join the gallery? We’ll come to study, even without remuneration!”
“Yes, yes, President Shen, as long as we can study Master Ji Changfeng’s paintings well, we don’t need any salary!”
Qingwu glanced at the group of artists standing before her.
“Those interested, send your resumés to my email. If suitable, I’ll invite you following the standard procedure and ensure you receive pay commensurate with your work.”
She wasn’t a boss who liked to exploit employees.
“Alright, we’ll send it right away!”
Tan Hua walked up to Qingwu with a jubilant expression, “President Shen, today’s exhibition was a great success. You and Master Ji’s paintings have been displayed in the most prominent places.”
“Thanks for your hard work.”
Qingwu walked to her office, changing out of the gown she had been wearing into a sharp suit, tying up her mist-like hair into a high bun, emanating an aura of vigor and authority.
She picked up the report on the desk and began reviewing it, discovering many of the data points circled in red marker, accompanied by new data accurate to three decimal places.
A small bear sticky note dropped down.
“Precious daughter, there’s a tiny issue with some data; Dad corrected it all for you, don’t overwork yourself! Dad loves you =3=”
A warm smile curved on Qingwu’s lips.
She didn’t know when Shen Dongli had entered the office.
Thinking of him coming in to help with the reports while she busied herself outside and leaving her a note on a cute sticky pad, she felt warmth spread in her heart…
As evening fell, Tan Hua knocked on the office’s glass door, “President Shen, everyone has finished work and gone home; you should too.”
“Alright, you go first. I’ll leave after I finish with this data.”
“President Shen, don’t tire yourself out too much!”
Tan Hua left the office, and Qingwu looked down at the data, slightly frowning.
Her phone rang and she picked it up, Pei Jue’s voice came through the receiver.
“Still working overtime? Encountering something tricky?”
“Almost done.”
Qingwu stood up and turned around, seeing a man standing across the street!
In the night, Pei Jue stood alone against the moon, exuding a coldness that made people avoid direct eye contact. Yet, with just a glance in her direction, stars seemed to fall, full of unthinkable tenderness.
“Have you been waiting long?”
“Five minutes. Let’s go for dinner. I don’t mind if my fiancée is a workaholic, but dinner is a must.”
Qingwu reached out to turn off the office’s wall lights and headed downstairs.
In the darkness, her voice carried a touch of teasing, “My brother said you might prefer a virtuous housewife.”
Shen Boyi was right; most spouses of the noble family heirs were indeed gracious socialites.
Pei Jue’s deep laughter echoed in Qingwu’s ears.
“I’m not used to defining things, but I’m not interested in either career women or virtuous housewives. What I like is you, and only you. It has nothing to do with societal roles.”
His voice was lingering, like a whisper in the quiet night to someone dearly loved.
