Chapter 240: Showing Enthusiasm to a Cold Shoulder

"The company is in need of porters right now. Take your men there," Su Minghan said expressionlessly.

The bodyguard gritted his teeth and lowered his head submissively. "Yes, General Manager Su."

Being a porter was the most menial and tiring job. Since Su Minghan had arranged such a job for him, he was determined to remove him from the security team.

He used to be a well - known retired sniper, and Su Minghan had hired him at a high price to be the leader of the bodyguard team.

Now, just one Tian Danni could affect so many people. It was evident how much Su Minghan valued her.

Downstairs of Longjing Apartment, Bo Jingyu had waited almost the whole night.

Flipping through the chat records, there were no less than fifty and no more than eighty video calls and voice calls.

This Shen Ximan was deliberately going against him!

Exhausted, he threw his phone on the passenger seat and leaned back, pretending to sleep.

Buzz, buzz, buzz.

The phone vibrated a few times. He quickly sat up straight and grabbed it to check. It turned out to be a message from Ruo Chi.

Li Rui's drunken brawl this time had seriously affected the company's image. After discussion, the directors of Juanyi had decided to remove him from the position of general manager. For now, it wasn't clear who would take over.

Bo Jingyu felt a bit of a headache.

Shen Ximan must know about this. For other companies, upon hearing such internal news, they would be eager to withdraw as soon as possible to minimize losses. But she was feigning ignorance on purpose.

Her aim was to make him humble himself and plead with her. Well, she had achieved her goal.

The apartment door opened, and Shen Shiyu came out.

Bo Jingyu was stunned. Why was she also living here?

After some thought, he figured it out.

After the three members of the Shen family were bailed out of the detention center by Bo Siming, he had stopped asking the jailer for updates. After all, he didn't really care about these things, so he naturally didn't know where they had been settled.

But while he didn't pay attention, Shen Ximan did. Her mind was extremely careful and meticulous now. If he wasn't careful, he might end up in trouble.

Buzz, buzz, buzz.

The phone vibrated again. The contact name was Su Minghan.

He quickly answered. "What's up?"

Normally, Su Minghan wouldn't call at this time in the morning unless it was an emergency.

"Are you busy? If not, come and watch Danni for me for a while."

Bo Jingyu raised his eyebrows in confusion and glanced at the apartment door.

"Not too busy. What's wrong with her?"

Su Minghan rubbed his throbbing temples. "She was attacked by Shujing's friend and younger brother last night. She's still in a coma."

"… Are they out of their minds?"

"Making a move at this critical moment. They're really crazy."

Bo Jingyu couldn't help but complain.

"Stop talking nonsense. Those two are still being interrogated in the detention center. I have to bail them out and send them back to school. You come and watch for me first."

Having waited all night without seeing Shen Ximan come down, Bo Jingyu decided not to wait any longer.

Maybe this was her strategy to divert him, just playing with him.

"Got it. I'll be there soon."

He hung up the phone, started the car disappointedly, and drove away.

Through the crack in the curtain, Shen Ximan saw his car leave. Then she freely jumped onto the bed and rolled over, feeling extremely comfortable.

"Let you also experience the feeling of showing enthusiasm to a cold shoulder!"

Thinking of the past, she gritted her teeth in hatred. The more anxious Bo Jingyu was, the more willful and unrestrained she became.

Ding - dong, ding - dong. The doorbell rang.

Shen Ximan sat up warily, bare - footed, and glanced downstairs.

His car had indeed left.

Could he have parked in the basement and come up?

She walked up to the door suspiciously and carefully looked through the peephole. It turned out to be Stewardess Liang outside.

"Oh, Miss Wen, good morning!"

She was beaming, and the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes could almost trap a fly.

Shen Ximan forced a smile. "Hehe, good morning, Aunt Liang. You came to see me so early... Is there something important?"

"Hey, I just came to bring you some dumplings."

Stewardess Liang lowered her head and rushed in with a gasp. "Oh my goodness! How can you not even wear slippers? It's not good for a girl's health to let her feet get cold! Where are your shoes?"

She quickly blocked her way. "No need, no need. This is my home. You don't have to worry about me."

"Er... Right! It's all my fault. I'm too impulsive," Stewardess Liang handed over the dumplings. "You can try my cooking later. It's definitely as good as that in a hotel! Mr. and Mrs. Shen used to love my dumplings very much."

Shen Ximan awkwardly twitched the corners of her mouth. "This is so embarrassing."

"Has your eldest miss eaten?"

Mentioning this, Stewardess Liang looked gloomy. "That girl has a picky palate. She thought my cooking was too light and ran out early."

Hearing this, Shen Ximan's curiosity was piqued.

"It's not safe for her to go out alone. Did she say where she was going?"

Stewardess Liang snorted. "Where else could she go? To find the young master of the Bo family."

Only after she said it did she realize she had said too much. "You should know about the Bo family, right? Oh, don't misunderstand. The young master has been kind to our family. He's a really good person."

Shen Ximan didn't expose her. She just complained in her heart.

Bo Siming had almost devoured the Shen family. A "good person"? He was truly a rare specimen.

"My lips are sealed. You can rest assured."

Only then did Stewardess Liang feel relieved. "Miss Wen, we're really destined. May I ask... What's your job?"

Judging from her sly look, Shen Ximan knew she was trying to get information. Well, she might as well satisfy her curiosity.

Shen Ximan smiled gracefully. "Aunt Liang, I'm engaged in foreign trade. I just graduated from university not long ago, so I'm only a small general manager. I'm so busy every day that I don't even have my own time."

"Besides business, I'm always meeting clients. I don't even have anyone to talk to. Aunt Liang, if you're free, come and visit me more often. If it's too much trouble... Well, forget it!"

Stewardess Liang's eyes widened. "How could it be!"

"Oh, I didn't expect you to be so young but have such a good job position!" She stuffed the dumplings into Shen Ximan's arms. "Please accept this little gift. From now on, I'll come every day as long as you don't mind!"

This strategy of retreating to advance had her firmly in control.

Shen Ximan sniffed emotionally. "Thank you then."

After a few exchanges, Shen Ximan dressed up and went out.

"A Kun, how's the route of Shen Shiyu you were checking for me?" she asked calmly into the Bluetooth earphone.

"General Manager Shen, she's gone to a coffee shop near the Bo Group."

"Got it."

It seemed that Bo Siming had deliberately arranged the meeting place nearby to avoid being caught by Bo Jingyu. His calculations were really good.

Shen Ximan stepped on the accelerator hard and rushed to the scene as fast as she could.
