Zhuge Yu and Xu Jia's expressions were extremely gloomy at this moment. No one spoke for them. Not even the chairman stood up and reprimanded the boy. This was really outrageous!
Obviously, the two of them have not yet realized that the old man's situation is very delicate. Subconsciously, the old man already suspects that his son has poisoned Shichen Vipshop's server.
In this way, in theory, the old man felt that he was in the wrong, so since Yang Di entered the door, he has been very restrained, even deliberately giving in, and is willing to fully support the platform's next rescue measures.
Any father will have this kind of thought. Even after learning that someone is temporarily unwilling to call the police, deep down in his heart, the old man still has some gratitude that he is unwilling to admit.
Today's criminal investigation technology is so advanced. If judicial personnel intervene, the probability of tracking down the culprit is still very high. If the final finger of blame really points to his own kid, for the old man, the sky will almost fall.
This can be regarded as a kind of luck. Of course, for now, the old man still doesn't want to really believe that it was Shang Min who said that.
Although my boy is arrogant and unwilling to keep his feet on the ground, he has never shown any signs of committing a crime.
Shang Pengjun knew that in fact, even if his younger son had been wronged, he would not have the guts to do such a stupid thing that would ruin his life...
…
That night, when he returned home, Shang Pengjun faced the food laid out by the old housekeeper and servants, but he refused to move his chopsticks, his eyes were distracted, and he was a little absent-minded.
Psychologically, the old man believed in his son, but when encountering this kind of thing, anyone would think about the bad side.
The main reason is that Shang Min is too suspicious. This guy is very capable, and I heard that he recently suffered a lot of "grievances" at the new platform because of his arrogant attitude and couldn't get along with his colleagues. It seems that he also has full motives.
Previously in the company, the man surnamed Yang and many directors did not reveal this matter, perhaps to save face for themselves.
Otherwise, if it had been anyone else, once they chose to report the matter to the police, Shang Min would definitely be the focus of the report and investigation.
Such a huge suspicion began to make Shang Pengjun uneasy when he was in the company. He could not concentrate on reviewing documents. When he returned home in a daze, the first thing he wanted to do was to find Shang Min and question him face to face.
"Old Liu, where is that boy Shang Min, has he come back?" After a long silence, Shang Pengjun moved his mouth a few times and asked with some exhaustion.
He had a premonition that Shang Min was about to go home at this time, and the old man's mind became increasingly difficult to calm down.
"According to recent practice, the young master should be back in twenty or thirty minutes." The old housekeeper looked at the clock and said seriously.
At the same time, the old man's face was slightly surprised.
Over the past year or so, the master has rarely cared about the young master's affairs. Even when eating, he didn't bother to pay attention. Why did he suddenly become concerned again today?
Liu Quan felt a burst of joy, and naturally expected to see the master and the young master settle their differences and sit down to talk and have a meal.
But soon, the old butler Liu Quan discovered that the situation seemed a bit optimistic. The old man's expression was a bit sharp in his silence. This was obviously a sign that a storm was coming. Could it be that the young master had caused trouble outside?
Out of concern and fear that the house would be noisy again later, Liu Quan quickly asked in a low voice: "Master, what happened?"
However, Shang Pengjun sat there, indifferent and did not make a sound.
This time, the old butler Liu Quan was even more panicked. In the past, he had won the trust of the old man and could talk frankly about family matters or company matters, but this time, the old man did not even look at him.
Liu Quan knew that it was definitely not something he had done wrong, but that the young master might have caused big trouble, which made the old man angry like this.
"Old Liu, what do you think of that boy Shang Min?" After a while, the old man finally said something, but the words he asked confused the old housekeeper for a while.
In normal times, Liu Quan would definitely try his best to say good things for Shang Min, but the old butler had a hunch that the situation was not good. He thought carefully for a long time before he cautiously replied: "The young master is very talented but not very capable.
It’s just a bit young and frivolous, but it will change over time..."
Although these words were slightly flattering, they also revealed the current reality. No one denied Shang Min's talent, but even the old housekeeper had to admit that there was indeed something wrong with the young master's character.
He is like a proud hedgehog. Even though he is full of knowledge, wherever he goes, it is difficult to get along with anyone except his friends.
"Lao Liu, what do you think of this boy's character?" Shang Pengjun asked again inexplicably with an expressionless face.
Old Uncle Liu wiped his sweat. In the past, he always scolded Shang Min, but now, it suddenly escalated to the level of moral character. Is that matter really so serious?
"Sir, if the young master really made any mistakes, I hope you can give him a chance to change his ways. After all, Shang Min is still young..." Liu Quan hesitated for a long time, and finally could only give him this dry persuasion.
"I am willing to give him such an opportunity..." Shang Pengjun closed his eyelids tiredly, fell back, leaned on the back of his chair, and sighed: "But I am afraid that others will not give him such an opportunity..."
At this moment, the old man was filled with complex emotions, including anger, sadness, fear, and a bit of self-blame and annoyance.
For the first time, Shang Pengjun felt some unbearable resentment towards Vice President Xu Jia and even Zhuge Yu. He also hated himself for being too stubborn and letting Shang Min go without any regard, knowing that the man named Yang was not a good person.
Work there.
In the company, even the board of directors doesn't pay attention to the person named Yang, so naturally, he won't give Shang Min any face.
One has a tough attitude and a tough background, while the other is arrogant and cannot bear to be wronged. If two people like these come together, can something happen?
If he had known this, Shang Pengjun felt that he should be more selfish and took the initiative to arrange for Shang Min to work in the company.
If he had taken action in person, he would definitely not have sent Shang Min to Yang. The subsequent problems, even if Shang Min was still unable to get along with others, would not have become out of control...
Ding dong~~~
Suddenly, the doorbell rang softly outside the door, interrupting the old man's thoughts.
Liu Quan ran to the small screen at the door and took a look. Yes, Shang Min was indeed back.
For some reason, the old housekeeper was reluctant to open the door at this moment, and even hoped that the young master would go out and fool around for a few days before coming back.
But Shang Min was indeed standing at the door of his house. It was unreasonable for him not to open the door. Immediately, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and ran to unlock the door.
After a while, Shang Min walked into the house with a tired face and dark circles under his eyes. It was because he didn't sleep well last night. Then he went to the company this morning. After being dismissed by Kaede Kawashima, he left Yuntian Building and went to a nearby small shop.
I spent a day fooling around at home.
Shang Min's current mood has changed from the initial anxiety, apprehension, anger, nervousness, and fear to the current numbness.
Because he was too sleepy and tired, Shang Min was now completely weak. He just wanted to go back to the house and fall asleep. He staggered across the corridor and went up the stairs.
"stop!"
But at this moment, a cold voice came from the side hall near the kitchen.
Shang Min shook his head. His originally numb nerves seemed to have been stimulated, and his distracted eyes instantly condensed. But after they condensed, there was a flash of panic.
My father was eating there. To be precise, he hadn't even touched the bowls and chopsticks. He was just sitting upright like a stone Buddha with a stern look on his face.
In the past, this kind of battle was very common. Every time he came back, his father would always react like this, always with a straight face. But for some reason, when he encountered this situation again today, Shang Min was surprisingly panicked.
Especially when his father's cold voice reached his ears, Shang Min felt as if he was struck by lightning.
"Dad, I'm very tired now and want to go back to the house to rest..." Shang Min wriggled his mouth with difficulty and responded with his eyes averted.
"come over!"
However, old man Shang Pengjun made a serious request with an unquestionable voice. At the same time, his stern and cold eyes also swept over.
Growing up, that was Shang Min's most feared nightmare. When he was a child, every time he had to be lectured by his father, it was always this prelude. When he grew up, although he dared to resist and talk back, deep down, he was still full of fear, because he had such a powerful character.
The lingering shadow.
Shang Min opened his mouth, wanting to lose his temper like usual, then without looking back, he went up, slammed the door, and locked himself up.
But tonight, his father's eyes seemed to be surprisingly harsh, and coupled with the ghost in his heart, it even triggered Shang Min's childhood nightmare. He trembled slightly, and finally walked towards the dining table uncontrollably.
"Master, it's okay. If you have anything to say, please tell me." Liu Quan, the old butler, was also very confused and followed behind him, comforting him in a low voice.
"good!"
Surprisingly, Shang Min listened.
He came to the dining table and sat down, and asked as calmly as possible: "Dad, do you have anything to do with me?"
"Didn't you sleep well last night?" Shang Pengjun raised his head and asked coldly.
"Well..." Shang Min's heart tightened. Originally it was just a sparse and ordinary greeting, but at this moment, hearing it in his ears was like a steel needle stabbing his whole body.
"How are you doing at the company recently?" the old man asked again. It seemed that every question was like a blade that hit Shang Min's vitals.
Only the old butler stood aside, confused. Although the old man sounded a little stern, he was always concerned about Shang Min's work and life. Is there something wrong with this? Why is the young master still so nervous?
Shang Min's mouth was bitter, and his stomach was in turmoil. They said that people who are extremely nervous will even have cramps in their stomachs. Now he felt it firsthand.
After thinking for a long time, Shang Min spoke with difficulty and said: "There were some problems at work, and I was suspended without pay..."
Hearing this, even the old housekeeper frowned, and old man Shang Pengjun even felt his heart sink. Can this kid endure such a serious matter?
But the old man still held some hope in his heart. He took a deep breath and asked in a deep voice: "Then what are your plans?"
"I also have some problems with this matter. I plan to start over again after the suspension of pay assessment period is over..." Shang Minyan said insincerely.
This time, the old man Shang Pengjun felt a little desperate for a moment, and his whole body seemed to have lost its backbone. If this kid made a big fuss at this moment, or even acted insincerely like usual, the old man would even be very happy.
But Shang Min suddenly "realized his mistake" and "repented", and the old man knew in his heart that the thing was most likely gone, what an evil beast!!
