Chapter 116 Considering the Pros and Cons
Chapter 116 Considering the Pros and Cons
Rong Shu put down her phone, her face darkening.
At this time.
A knock came at the door.
Rong Shu composed herself, turned around to open the door, and saw the person standing at the door. "Professor, good morning."
Jiang Huaixu smiled gently: "You look much more energetic."
Rong Shu hummed in agreement, "After a day and a night of rest, you should be better by now."
"Let's go downstairs for breakfast!"
The two went downstairs to the restaurant on the first floor for breakfast.
"Evelynn, Mr. Jiang."
David walked over.
Rong Shu greeted him with a smile.
"Would you mind having breakfast together?"
Rong Shu raised an eyebrow and smiled, saying, "If I said I minded, would you leave?"
David put down his plate, pulled out a chair and sat down, saying, "Evelynn, don't say such hurtful things, it makes me very sad."
Rong Shu teased, "You can still be sad because of a woman? The sun didn't rise in the west today."
David laughed and said, "Don't have such a strong stereotype about me. I'm trying my best to be a good person."
Rong Shu raised the glass of juice, smiled, and said, "Then I wish you success."
David raised his glass and clinked it against hers. "Your words are the greatest affirmation for me."
The two laughed.
David took a sip of milk, put down the cup, and then raised his hand to greet Sheng Tingchen, who was sitting not far away by the window.
Sheng Tingchen glanced at David, then looked away. An Qingyue sat down opposite him with breakfast in her hands.
When An Qingyue looked at Rong Shu and Jiang Huaixu, there was an unconcealable hatred in her eyes.
Rong Shu completely ignored the two of them, not even glancing at them.
"What are Evelynn's plans for today?" David asked.
Rong Shu said, "Of course, we have to finish the work we owe President Jiang."
Jiang Huaixu simply smiled.
David looked at Jiang Huaixu and said, "Mr. Jiang, this salary isn't easy to earn!"
Jiang Huaixu smiled and said, "If I were to give it to her too easily, Evelynn wouldn't be happy."
Rong Shu said, "That's not necessarily true. I'd be happy to double my annual salary if President Jiang gave me that."
Jiang Huaixu said, "Okay, then let's go back and sign the contract again."
David said, "How about I offer Evelynn three times the annual salary Mr. Jiang earns? In US dollars?"
Rong Shu looked at him and smiled, "Don't flatter me too much, or I'll feel like the earth can't turn without me."
"..."
The three chatted and laughed, creating a harmonious atmosphere.
An Qingyue and Sheng Tingchen ate breakfast quietly, but An Qingyue was clearly upset.
"What's wrong? Is it not to your liking?" Sheng Tingchen asked gently.
An Qingyue looked up at Sheng Tingchen, "Brother Chen, do you know why I'm in a bad mood?"
As Rong Shu and Jiang Huaixu finished their breakfast and were about to leave, they saw An Qingyue stand up angrily.
Sheng Tingchen stood up, reached out to stop her, held her wrist, sat down, and whispered words of comfort.
Rong Shu glanced at the two close friends before saying goodbye to David.
David smiled and waved to her.
Rong Shu and Jiang Huaixu left the restaurant.
The two went for a walk on the deck, enjoyed the sea breeze, and gazed at the boundless blue sea, which greatly improved their mood.
Sheng Tingze called her.
The two chatted for a few minutes.
"By the way, the court hearing is tomorrow, right?" Sheng Tingze said.
Rong Shu said, "There's been a temporary problem. I'm waiting for my lawyer's call."
Sheng Tingze was taken aback for a moment, but it seemed to be within his expectations.
"Okay, when are you coming back?"
"First thing tomorrow morning."
The two didn't talk much before hanging up.
Jiang Huaixu then asked, "Is there no way to hold the trial smoothly?"
Rong Shu leaned against the railing, looking up at the sky, letting the sea breeze blow through her long hair, her blue dress swaying beside her slender white legs.
Her bare face, without any makeup, had soft, white cheeks that glowed in the sunlight.
Only her once clear eyes became dim.
Jiang Huaixu gazed intently at her.
She slowly said, "Attorney Wang called me this morning and said the court has postponed the hearing. He doesn't know the specific reason yet. He'll call me back after he goes to the court today to find out the situation."
Jiang Huaixu said, "It seems that Sheng Tingchen has spoken to the court."
Rong Shu lowered her gaze. "I guess so. Now we're just waiting to see what Attorney Wang has to say."
Jiang Huaixu said, "Sheng Tingchen is indeed not so easy to please you."
"yes!"
If he wanted a divorce, he would have done so long ago; he wouldn't have waited until now.
How could someone as arrogant as him allow others to control his behavior?
The moment she filed for divorce, she was already prepared for a long-term battle.
So she wasn't too surprised to receive a call from Attorney Wang this morning.
The two sat on the deck for a while.
Meanwhile, on the upper deck, Sheng Tingchen was discussing a collaboration with a middle-aged man opposite him.
Sipping coffee.
His gaze fell on the two people leaning against the railing downstairs, his eyes indifferent.
It was a bit hot, so Jiang Huaixu prepared to return to his cabin.
Just then, An Hongjie called, wanting to arrange another talk with him.
"How did your talk go yesterday?" Rong Shu asked.
She really didn't have the energy to care about anything else yesterday.
The two chatted as they walked downstairs.
Jiang Huaixu said, "An Hongjie is very sincere. He does have the contract I want. However, there is internal strife within the An family right now, so I have to consider the pros and cons."
Rong Shu smiled and said, "The fact that he made you consider it shows that the offer he made was enough to tempt you."
Jiang Huaixu smiled and said, "Indeed!"
"However, there's one thing I'm quite curious about," Rong Shu said.
Jiang Huaixu glanced at her and said, "What?"
"Su Qingzhi is trying to seize power in the An family, and Sheng Tingchen dotes on An Qingyue. Will Sheng Tingchen side with the An family or Su Qingzhi? Su Qingzhi is also indulging his younger sister without any limits. Isn't he afraid of hurting her feelings?"
Jiang Huaixu said, "From what I understand, Sheng Tingchen is not currently interfering in the internal affairs of the An family, and whether he will interfere in the future is unknown."
"Anyway, their business is none of our concern."
Rong Shu certainly didn't want to get involved in their affairs; she was just a little curious when she suddenly thought of it.
"However, we should be cautious about cooperating with the An family," Rong Shu said.
Jiang Huaixu hummed in agreement. "Indeed, you're coming with me?"
Rong Shu said, "Professor, you go first. I'll wait for Attorney Wang's call."
Jiang Huaixu hummed in agreement and said, "Alright, let's talk later."
"it is good."
After parting ways.
Rong Shu returned to her room.
She really isn't in the mood to handle other work right now.
Around 12 o'clock, Rong Shu received a call from Attorney Wang.
"Attorney Wang, what's going on?"
