"What do you want these shares for?" Zhai Cheng's eyes were sharp, and his tone was cold.
Leng Jing had never bothered about the company's affairs. Although she was willful, she knew nothing about the company's shares.
Leng Jing remained silent, only sneering. Just thinking of Ji Qingyun made her expression even colder.
Song Ge saw Leng Jing's expression and vaguely felt that something was off, but she didn't say it directly on the spot.
"For the sake of our past relationship, I can give you a few days to prepare." Leng Jing was determined to get the shares.
Zhai Cheng thought the person in front of him was a stranger. This was definitely not the old Leng Jing. "Okay." Since it wasn't originally his, he wouldn't forcefully keep it.
Seeing that she had achieved her goal, Leng Jing had no reason to stay. She left directly.
Zhai Cheng didn't dwell on the issue of this strange Leng Jing. He was still immersed in the grief of his father's death. He stayed in the villa all day, not going anywhere and barely eating. He was getting thinner by the day.
Song Ge felt heart - broken seeing him like this, so she decided to talk to him.
She first went to the study to look for Zhai Cheng. As expected, he wasn't there. Then she went to his room.
Gently pushing the door open, Song Ge saw a bulge on the bed and walked over.
The man was closing his eyes. His long eyelashes cast a shadow on his face, and his eyebrows were knitted.
Song Ge couldn't help but reach out her hand and gently press on his brow.
"Who?" Zhai Cheng grabbed Song Ge's hand quickly and accurately. He suddenly opened his eyes. Seeing it was Song Ge, he then let go.
Caught red - handed, Song Ge felt a bit embarrassed. She forced a smile. "I just thought you didn't seem to be sleeping well."
Zhai Cheng threw off the quilt and got out of bed.
He hadn't shaved for many days. With a stubble on his face, he no longer looked like the high - spirited man he used to be.
"Things have come to this. Uncle can't come back to life. We who are still alive should live well. I think Uncle wouldn't want to see you like this." Song Ge whispered to persuade him.
The man's back stiffened, and his body trembled slightly.
Even though several days had passed, he still couldn't accept it. They had just reconciled, and things were moving in a good direction. Who would have thought...
He was slightly stunned when he felt an arm around his waist. Looking down, his heart warmed.
Song Ge leaned against his strong back. "There are still a lot of things in the company waiting for you to handle."
Zhai Cheng lowered his eyes, then looked up into the distance. Finally, he nodded. "Okay."
Song Ge let go of her hand. Her eyes sparkled with joy. "Then I'll help you shave."
A hint of hesitation flashed in Zhai Cheng's eyes, but he finally nodded.
Song Ge got everything ready, and the two sat outside the garden.
The weather was great, with blue sky and white clouds. From time to time, the chirping of birds could be heard.
It was Song Ge's first time helping someone shave, so she was inevitably nervous. Facing the tools in front of her, she didn't know what to do.
"It's okay. First, take the shaving foam." Zhai Cheng patiently explained the steps one by one.
With the man's step - by - step guidance, the shaving process went quite smoothly.
Looking at the face so close, Zhai Cheng suddenly felt a tightness below his waist. His face twitched, and he pushed Song Ge away.
Song Ge looked at Zhai Cheng in confusion.
Zhai Cheng awkwardly took the electric shaver from Song Ge's hand. "I'll do it myself."
Song Ge left awkwardly. As long as Zhai Cheng could cheer up again, she didn't care about anything else.
Song Ge sat in the living room, handling her work while waiting for Zhai Cheng to come downstairs.
About ten minutes later, Zhai Cheng came downstairs.
Hearing the sound, Song Ge instinctively looked up and couldn't take her eyes off.
The man was dressed in a suit, looking energetic.
Song Ge hadn't seen Zhai Cheng so energetic for a long time. She knew he was back.
"Let's go." The man adjusted his tie and walked ahead.
Song Ge picked up her things and quickly followed Zhai Cheng.
Since Zhai Cheng hadn't appeared in the company for a long time, the receptionist was very surprised when she saw him.
The news that Zhai Cheng had appeared in the company spread like wildfire. People were whispering to each other in private.
Zhai Cheng entered his office. The little assistant was extremely happy to see him.
"Boss, you're here."
"Yeah." Zhai Cheng walked familiarly to his desk. He paused for a few seconds, then turned on the computer and started to handle official business.
Seeing Zhai Cheng start to work, Song Ge quietly left the office. She hooked her finger at the little assistant inside.
The little assistant pointed at herself in confusion. Just as she was about to say something, Song Ge made a shushing gesture. Then the little assistant slipped out of the office when Zhai Cheng wasn't paying attention.
"I'm going to be away for a while. Keep an eye on him for me."
The little assistant originally wanted to ask what was going on, but finally chose to keep silent. She nodded and then went into the office.
Song Ge left the company. She decided to investigate Leng Jing. Her sudden demand for the equity must be fishy.
Since she didn't know where Leng Jing was, Song Ge first went to her place.
She waited outside the villa for thirty or forty minutes, but Leng Jing never came out.
Just when she was about to give up, a car drove out of the villa. The person in the driver's seat was indeed Leng Jing.
Song Ge immediately started her car and followed.
About half an hour later, the car drove into an underground garage and stopped.
Leng Jing got out of the car, and so did Song Ge.
The sound of high - heeled shoes echoed in the underground garage.
Song Ge followed carefully. Suddenly, Leng Jing stopped and looked back.
Song Ge hid behind a pillar. Her heart was pounding.
The sound of footsteps was getting closer. Her palms were full of sweat, and big drops of sweat were rolling down her forehead.
What should she say if she was discovered by Leng Jing?
The footsteps stopped abruptly. A few seconds later, the sound faded away.
Song Ge heaved a sigh of relief. After waiting for a while, she followed out. Fortunately, Leng Jing didn't walk too fast, and Song Ge could still see her figure.
Leng Jing went upstairs. Song Ge observed that there were several companies in this building.
What was she doing here?
Leng Jing entered the door of a company. Song Ge stood outside and waited for a while, but Leng Jing still didn't come out.
Song Ge quickly investigated this company and found that it was actually Xu Yan's company.
He had been arrested, and the company should have gone bankrupt. Why...
Song Ge was full of questions about why Leng Jing was related to Xu Yan's company.
Just as she was about to go in to investigate, Leng Jing came out of the company. Song Ge hid behind a pillar. After Leng Jing left, she stepped forward.
