Translated by shi+ya of Exiled Rebels Scanlations
Lu Shang woke up the nextto an empty bed As usual, he lay on the bed awake for a while before slowly getting up Getting his clothes, he pushed the bedrooht shone in through the ,the roo; he was a little shocked as he turned the corner A s breakfast with a frying pan He must have just added the oil, as the crisp sound was loud and clear
”You're awake?” Li Sui turned back to look at Lu Shang, his eyes obviously brightened up a few notches, an odd shyness was also in his eyes
Lu Shang couldn't quite describe the weirdness of this scene, but he just felt like he was in a soap opera as a pair of needs He didn't like the so in, instead he leaned on the doorfra?”
”Oredients in the fridge, so the guests could cook if they wanted to, but very few guests actually did that Li Sui flipped the o on a plate and began spreading sauce on it
Lu Shang waited for the oil and slass boere a pile of uniformly cut strips of cucumber, in another was baked bacon, the end of the strips curled up enticingly Beside the ingredients sat a cera inside, white stea aroma of sweetness peretables was just right; saltiness mixed ith the sweetness, the meal was carefully balanced Naturally, there couldn't have been that ot up extra early to buy the ingredients fro, I just suddenly want to cook” Li Sui lowered his head to roll up the o one half on another plate Then he went to scoop up tls of porridge
Lu Shang stared at him for a while in silence, he then went to the bathroo up and got a change of clothes, breakfast was already served, waiting for hi table, re a bowl of shri came out The shrimp shells were peeled clean, he had even deveined the shri only a bowl of puffy, tender shri in his heart deepened, thinking that this kidat him with anticipation in his eyes, a bit of anxiousness could be seen as well
Pushi+ng his thoughts away, Lu Shang sat down at the dining table He picked up the chopsticks and paused a bit, ”You made all of this yourself?”
”Yes”
The outer layer of the oolden crust and was moderate in thickness with a fluffy allure When his teeth sank into the egg, he was greeted with crisp skin Tearing the skin, creas overflowed into hisout frorance of cucumbers and the scent of smoked bacon in just one bite The taste was not only sublime but also familiar
”How is it?” Li Sui asked excitedly
”Not bad” Lu Shang nodded
T/N: I a, thank you very much Now I knohy the CME translators translate after eating
What Lu Shang said was the truth, this omelet roll was extre ho really did feel a little ho had no idea he could cook, he also had no idea that Li Sui was so observative Lu Shang loved omelet rolls, but he seldom had them As a tasty omelet roll could only be made with oil and oil was bad for his health, Aunt Lu seldo Li Sui's stay in the Lu family house, Aunt Lu only everdid raise his chopsticks a few more times whenever there were omelet rolls, but he never expected Li Sui to notice, much less expected Li Sui would learn how to make it
Li Sui looked overjoyed, he pushed the bowl of shri, ”Try the shri his affections for Lu Shang so obviously, Lu Shang tried ignoring it, but failed He raised his head with a coed a little, ”What's wrong? Are you full already?”
”You… help et my medicine”
Truly a rarity, for a day to co didn't kno to ask a question It was not that Lu Shang failed to understand Li Sui's feelings, it was just that since he understood, he was having a hard tiht to his face This child had a pure and direct heart, he was doing all this for one thing only, he wanted to take care of Lu Shang In the face of such pure intentions, all the words Lu Shang could come up with sounded way too cold
The weather in Hai Nan Island was relatively war's health condition was quite well ever since they arrived Even after going out and about for two days, he didn't feel especially unwell Li Sui was like a tail, he followed Uncle Yuen's directions coinning, Lu Shang thought that was because Li Sui wasn't used to the new environht he had to take extra care of Li Sui But at the end, Lu Shang felt like he was the one being taken care of
Lu Shang had no idea where Li Sui learned to do this, but Li Sui just stuck to him everywhere he went, almost like how paint sticks to the wall permanently Li Sui would reaze was on Lu Shang 24/7 Li Sui would even straighten his ears during his shower to listen to Lu Shang's move felt a little overwhelht need to have a chat about that
That night, Yan Ke called to invite Lu Shang to dinner Yan Ke didn't talk about any of the specifics, he just sounded vague and aard through the phone Lu Shang presuenda, so he brought Li Sui with him to the restaurant As expected, the moment they stepped foot into the restaurant, they saw the elder son of the SiMa fa in the private rooht, on his left earlobe was an eye-catching stud earring His choice of clothes was a lotthe two enter, SiMa JingRong i the and Li Sui looked at each other for a second, then followed SiMa JingRong in
”Uncle Lu, I would like to propose a toast to you For your help on the shi+p the other day” Even if you round it down, SiMa JingRong was at least 180 centi hiht with Li Sui
Lu Shang's expression didn't change, but he didn't take the glass of wine that was handed to hi the cup with SiMa JingRong's glass and drank all of it down
SiMa JingRong froze for a bit, with a slightly dejected expression, he gulped the wine down
”Is everything fine at ho special My father just said he is never going to care about an talking about the things at hoo home and talk tothat incident on the shi+p, he'd biteback ho on his speech, but said lightly, ”He is still your father”
”Father?” SiMa JingRong said with a disgusted face, ”If he still had a shred of love for me, then he wouldn't ask for the company's shares ht so odd in his words The SiMa family was a female-oriented fa wholesaler, then they began doing electronics SiMa JingRong's father, Yue PengFei, was married into the SiMa household, he hter died during labor, Yue PengFei hter of the SiMa household
Addis Note: Sooo…his little half brother is also his little cousin? Gross
Yue PengFei was a prodigy, with his own talents and SiMa family's funds, he opened his own subsidiary co a single-platforistics and online retail services (i) The corown and developed, by now, it had already monopolized the industry ot listed on the Growth Enterprise Market (GEM) of the stock exchange (ii) last year
T/N: (i) I think you can i like Amazon or TaoBao
(ii) This statement basically means the company becae However, in China the stock exchange has two different ”boards”, one is called the Main Board, the other is called GEM The difference is that there are less require listed on the GEM than in the e of his cup, trying to get more information out of him, he continued, ”From what I know of director Yue, he wouldn't do that”
”You guys are just deceived” SiMa JingRong said in a hurry, ”He even tried to trickit, and that he will return theave hiive the's mother was the sole shareholder of the electronics coRong and only twenty percent to her husband Yue PengFei The shares at the time weren't worth that Fei's hands, plus the growing of the electronics industries in recent years, the company reached a co didn't care about the business, he probably didn't even realize how rich he actually was
As for Yue PengFei's request for the shares, SiMa JingRong didn't understand the reasons Lu Shang however, iet listed via a shell (iii)
T/N: (iii) The correct teret listed via a shell”
It is when a private company takes control of a listed but weaker co the majority of the shell coe with the shell coet into the stock exchange
So here it means that the SiMa family's electronics coe, but as Yue PengFei's coh the electronics co's 80 shares of the electronics co the coetting investors and e the structure of the co the company more possibilities and better prospects In short, the pros outweighed the cons After the analysis, his dad ht have also considered SiMa JingRong's situation as well
”Uncle Lu, what do you think I should do?” SiMa JingRong begged for help
Lu Shang found so odd and asked, ”Your father didn't send you to business school?”
”He did, but I didn't understand them I have money, why do I need to learn that stuff? Moreover, if I leave hoe will happen in the faer son, if Lu Shang was his father, he'd be furious too
Even Li Sui couldn't take it anymore, he said, ”So you're okay with the status quo? There will be a day when your fortune ends”
