Hua Yong had very little luggage, so the moving company that Sheng Shaoyou hired was of little help.
Four strong men carried two suitcases and moved everything in ten minutes.
The landlord was a middle-aged female Omega.
When she came to open the door, she swung her keys impatiently and looked up and down at Sheng Shaoyou who was standing next to Hua Yong. Her expression looked at Hua Yong with both contempt and envy.
Being beautiful is different. In just three months, even the Alphas that help him move have been replaced.
Not only are they all S-class, they also look quite rich!
If she hadn't received the hush money in advance, she really wanted to expose this Alpha in front of him.
This Omega was fickle and very weird! He rented a house but never lived in it. Moreover, the person who helped him carry the boxes and move in three months ago was obviously another tall and handsome Alpha!
The small apartment Sheng Shaoyou mentioned was actually not small at all. It was estimated to be over 300 square meters, bright and spacious, tens of thousands of times better than the one Hua Yong rented.
After entering the door and seeing the full view of this so-called "small apartment", Hua Yong seemed even more hesitant. He wanted to say something but stopped himself several times, as if he had had a dream that seemed extravagant just thinking about it.
Sheng Shaoyou instructed the moving company to put Hua Yong's luggage in the luggage room, then leaned against the door and said goodbye to Xiao Lanhua, who looked hesitant.
"It's getting late. I'm leaving now."
"Mr. Sheng." Hua Yong immediately called him over, and after hesitating for a while, he said, "Isn't this place too big?"
Sheng Shaoyou smiled at him with a somewhat defiant expression: "Everyone thinks small is better than big, why is it the other way around with you?"
Hua Yong lowered his head, looking very worried, and said, "I think there are more than 30,000 here."
"Not only are they all empty, you might as well come and live here, it would add some popularity to my place."
Hua Yong looked up at him, his eyes clear, trusting and grateful. He seemed to accept this reason and smiled gently at Sheng Shaoyou, showing a youthful spirit. "Thank you, Mr. Sheng."
"Okay, don't thank me. I'm getting calluses on my ears from listening to you so much." Sheng Shaoyou smiled and rubbed his hair. He tried to dodge backwards, but failed, so he simply stopped trying and stood there obediently, letting Sheng Shaoyou rub his head like a small animal.
That night, Sheng Shaoyou slept very well. He was as happy as if he had obtained a unique treasure in the world and hid it in a safe to which only he had the password and key.
The next time I saw Hua Yong was at a business dinner a few days later.
The president of the Jianghu Chamber of Commerce will be replaced soon. Not long ago, the old president died of a sudden illness. The new president, who was confirmed to be the new president, organized a social event in advance and invited the actual controllers of all the member companies of the board of directors to come as guests.
This so-called family dinner was actually intended to attract famous entrepreneurs from Jiangsu and Shanghai to come and take sides openly.
The deceased old president and the new one had been at odds for a long time. In the past, few people in the Chamber of Commerce were willing to attend the new president's banquet, but now the situation is very different. The old president is no longer popular, and his influence, which once commanded the support of hundreds of people, has naturally disappeared.
On this day, the new president's banquet was attended by almost all the well-known and prominent figures in the Jianghu business community, including Sheng Shaoyou and Shen Wenlang.
Sheng Shaoyou entered the venue with Shu Xin, and immediately saw Hua Yong sitting next to Shen Wenlang. His face darkened, but he immediately put on a fake smile for social occasions and shook hands with everyone who came to say hello.
Perhaps because they were in the same industry and were of similar age, Sheng Shaoyou and Shen Wenlang sat very close to each other. When they sat down, Hua Yong saw him and greeted him with bright eyes, "Mr. Sheng."
Sheng Shaoyou nodded at him and smiled: "You are here too."
Hua Yong was dressed very formally today, a silver-gray suit, with a gemstone brooch from an unknown designer. The main part of the brooch was a strange-shaped flower, probably some kind of uncommon orchid.
He could attract the attention of people around him just by sitting quietly.
In comparison, Shen Wenlang, who was sitting on his left and wearing all black, looked very unsightly. That despicable wolf was dressed so black and had such a stern face that those who didn't know him would think he was here to attend the old president's funeral.
Shu Xin was attending a formal occasion with Sheng Shaoyou for the first time and was very excited.
But when she saw a familiar and beautiful Omega sitting opposite her, her heart skipped a beat.
Hua Yong is even more beautiful in person than in the photo. From a social distance, his skin is so white that it is almost transparent, and there is not a single pore on his face. Unlike those beauties who rely on makeup to make up, his beauty is so natural, and his face reveals a rare innocence. He is a super beauty who is truly beautiful without knowing it.
Shu Xin couldn't help but sigh in her heart, silently calculating how much chance she had of winning if she met him.
When it came to the toasting part, Shen Wenlang said that he had taken cold medicine and couldn't drink, so he asked Hua Yong to do it for him. Hua Yong stood up holding the wine glass and showed a strange and immature smile to everyone who came to toast. This orchid was obviously not very good at socializing. She spoke in a soft voice and often drank a full glass of wine before she said a few words of the toast.
His clumsiness was as conspicuous as his beauty, and there were an unusually large number of people toasting him that day. By the end of the banquet, Sheng Shaoyou's face was darker than Shen Wenlang's suit.
Seeing Shu Xin looking at him anxiously, Sheng Shaoyou kept his eyes fixed on Hua Yong and said coldly, "I have something to do later. You go back by yourself."
Hua Yong's face turned red with confusion after drinking, and her watery eyes lost their focus, which made her even more attractive when she was pure to the extreme. The Alphas on the field looked at Shen Wenlang with countless envy. Most of them had drunk wine, and with the help of the alcohol, they looked at Hua Yong with unbridled and wanton eyes.
This made Sheng Shaoyou feel more disgusted than swallowing a fly alive.
At the end, Shen Wenlang took Hua Yong to say goodbye to everyone. Sheng Shaoyou stood up and followed them. He didn't trust Shen Wenlang's character at all, so he planned to find an excuse to send Hua Yong home in person.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived at the door, he was grabbed by the drunk new president and introduced to a young and tall Alpha: "Secretary Chang, this is Sheng Shaoyou, President Sheng, from Shengfang Biology." The new president was an old friend of Shengfang. Seeing Sheng Shaoyou staring at the door absent-mindedly, he couldn't help but remind him and introduced him solemnly: "Shaoyou, this is Chang Yu, Secretary Chang, from X Holdings."
X Holdings? Chang Yu? He is the confidant of the current head of X Holdings.
Sheng Shaoyou came back to his senses, withdrew his gaze from Hua Yong's staggering back, and politely extended his hand to Chang Yu, "Nice to meet you, Secretary Chang."
Chang Yu had a serious and mature face with clear outlines and rough features. He looked at Sheng Shaoyou indifferently, stretched out his hand and shook his hand gently, saying, "I've heard a lot about you."
It took some time to exchange pleasantries and business cards. By the time Sheng Shaoyou finished getting to know the new nobles and walked out of the banquet hall, Hua Yong and Shen Wenlang had already disappeared.
Sitting in the car, Sheng Shaoyou seemed a little anxious. The driver didn't dare to ask him what was wrong, but only asked: "Mr. Sheng, where are you going?"
Sheng Shaoyou thought about it and told Hua Yong the address of his apartment.
The car drove out slowly, and Sheng Shaoyou patiently dialed Hua Yong's number. The phone rang for a long time, but no one answered. His heart tightened little by little in the sound of waiting music. Sheng Shaoyou felt a strange panic, but he didn't understand what he was panicking about.
Hua Yong is Shen Wenlang's secretary, and accompanying his boss to events is part of his job.
Doesn't Sheng Shaoyou often appear in social occasions with Chen Pinming?
That little orchid has always been very opinionated and strong-willed. He is very good at rejecting other Alphas. Shen Wenlang has done him a favor, so he works for him, but he doesn't even often smile at Shen Wenlang. He only shows that defenseless and scheming smile to Sheng Shaoyou.
Yes, don't worry.
But Shen Wenlang is a bastard who sexually harasses his subordinates in the office. When they first met, he started to make moves on Hua Yong.
When Hua Yong was sober, he would indeed say no clearly, but he was drunk now, his eyes were blurry, and he looked at Sheng Shaoyou with a blank look without any hesitation.
Yes, throughout the second half, the drunk Hua Yong kept looking at him unconsciously, which even Shen Wenlang noticed, so he asked coldly in the middle of the banquet: "Secretary Hua, do you have something to say to Mr. Sheng? Instead of looking at him all the time, why don't you go and toast him a glass of wine?"
Hua Yong's face seemed to turn red, and he immediately stood up, grabbing the wine glass.
Sheng Shaoyou glanced at his full glass and said, "Let's have some juice instead. I don't want to drink anymore."
Hua Yong's expression turned grateful again, and her face seemed to turn even redder.
Shen Wenlang said sarcastically, "Shaoyou is really caring. It's a blessing to be your Omega. It's a pity that Secretary Hua has always had bad luck, isn't it, Hua Yong?"
My parents died early and my sister is seriously ill.
This is not good luck.
Therefore, Xiao Lanhua's eyes dimmed for a moment, and she nodded and said, "Yes, Mr. Shen, my luck has not been very good." Then, he looked at Sheng Shaoyou with his watery eyes again, and added softly, "However, everything seems to be getting better recently.
This is probably a case of good times after bad times."
This orchid is really beautiful. Everyone is looking at him, but he only wants to look at Sheng Shaoyou. It seems that his heart and eyes are filled with him.
Sheng Shaoyou was stared at by him the whole night and drank some wine. By the end of the banquet, he even had the illusion that Hua Yong was in love with him.
Of course, it might not be an illusion. This little orchid would sign a long-term employment contract with HS Group because of Shen Wenlang's funding, so it was only natural for her to fall in love with Sheng Shaoyou, who solved his urgent problem, saved his sister's life, and lent him a place to live.
Therefore, even if Shen Wenlang sent him home, nothing out of the ordinary would happen.
Hua Yong will definitely reject him.
That orchid will firmly say "no" to all Alphas and Betas except Sheng Shaoyou.
But, which Alpha with a twist of mind would listen to an Omega's "no"? Maybe he thought that Hua Yong was trying to be reluctant… Thinking of this, Sheng Shaoyou suddenly felt a sense of urgency. He suddenly raised his eyes and urged the driver: "Are we there yet?"
The driver looked at his anxious face in surprise and replied, "Mr. Sheng, there's a bit of traffic. We still have three minutes."
Sheng Shaoyou glanced at the navigation, his fingers rubbing anxiously on the handrail. Three minutes passed quickly, but they were stuck in the traffic jam and could not move.
"Have we arrived yet?"
"Sorry, Mr. Sheng, there seems to be an accident ahead. We—Hey, Mr. Sheng! Mr. Sheng!"
Sheng Shaoyou opened the door, left the car and the driver behind, climbed over the roadside fence, and ran as fast as he could on the sidewalk.
There are still three hundred meters to the destination.
The driver looked at the city's most successful young talent with a dazed look on his face. It was as if he had instantly transformed into the protagonist of a hot-blooded comic book, rolling up the sleeves of his expensive custom-made suit and performing a 100-meter sprint in public.
Is he in such a hurry to…save the earth?
But how is that possible?
According to the driver's understanding of Sheng Shaoyou, this young employer is the kind of person who would remain expressionless and use a pole to push it back even if the sky fell.
What on earth made him so panicked? What kind of big thing could make Sheng Shaoyou so anxious that he didn't even have time to put on his coat, got out of the car, and ran on the road in the middle of winter
