Chapter 61: Complaining (2)
After closing the door, Shen Yu walked towards the bed and conveniently threw his clothes and trousers on the bed. At this moment, he felt an unknown rage shoot straight up to the top of his head, no matter how much he constantly supressed and kept it under control.
He recalled all kinds of things that happened the day before and now.
Pile by pile and piece by piece...
Without any exception, the fault jeering at his foolishness.
He even said that Tang Li was a fool. Perhaps in the eyes of Tang Li and others, he was the real fool.
In order to see Tang Li’s face, he didn’t hesitate to put himself in a difficult situation.
Shen Yu pulled out his cell phone from under the quilt. He unlocked the screen and saw a pile of missed calls, unread text messages and Wechat. When he directly logged into his wechat, he saw a small number “1” in front of the only dialog box that is placed at the top.
It’s a message from Tang Li——
[Sorry, I have something urgent that came up. I’ll contact you later.]
It was concise and comprehensive.
It was to the extent that even Shen Yu didn’t understand the meaning of this sentence.
What kind of urgent matter is it?
When is later?
Shen Yu dazely stared at his phone for quite a long while. Then, he forced down his thought of calling Tang Li. He only replied with an “okay”.
Then, he sat by the bedside to wait.
He waited until 12 o’clock noon yet there was no reply nor message from Tang Li.
The “okay” he previously sent was lying quietly at the bottom of the chat box. It was a little brief and somewhat unrefined.
Shen Yu sighed. He logged out his Wechat and dialed Kang Lin.
Shen Yu was sent back on the spot by Kang Lin to the Shen family home. The entire house was so quiet that a needle dropping could be heard.
Uncle Zhang and Aunt Chen seem to have been guarding the living room all night. They were still wearing their clothes from last night. Their faces were full of fatigue. Below their eyes were dark eyebags.
Seeing Shen Yu coming back, Aunt Chen became so emotional that the rim of her eyes went red. She rushed over to welcome him.
“Are you all right, Sir?”
Shen Yu shook his head, “I’m alright.”
Saying that, his eyes went from Aunt Chen, who was in front of him, to Uncle Zhang, who was quietly approaching him without uttering any word.
“Uncle Zhang, let’s go to the study room to talk.”
Uncle Zhang seemed to have guessed that Shen Yu would say so. There was no surprise in his expression, he nodded obediently, “Alright.”
Aunt Chen wanted to bring Shen Yu’s crutch, but Shen Yu refused. He walked slowly to the elevator as Uncle Zhang followed him from behind in silence.
Once they arrived in the study room, Shen Yu went straight to his desk and sat down.
Uncle Zhang came to the front desk and could only stand upright. Shen Yu hadn’t ordered for him to take a seat, so he didn’t dare to act rashly.
“Uncle Zhang.” Shen Yu started, “Since my parents were gone. You’ve been like family to me. I have never thought that you would be somebody that my grandfather planted here to supervise me. I thought you wouldn’t do that.”
Uncle Zhang slightly drooped his head and breathed out, “I am sorry.”
“But I don’t want to hear you apologize.” Shen Yu leaned back to the chair. His indiferent cold eyes also moved from Uncle Zhang to the gorgeous complicated patterns carved on the ceiling. He continued, “Just go. Since you only listen to my grandfather, you can go to attend my grandfather.”
In the end, he laughed while mocking himself, “I just happened to save you from worrying about my huge farts matter.”
Hearing this, Uncle Zhang was stunned. He raised his head and looked at Shen Yu.
“Sir.” Uncle Zhang opened his mouth to talk, “I...”
Shen Yu made a hand gesture to directly interrupt what Uncle Zhang would say, “Sorry, I don’t want to listen to your explanation.”
Uncle Zhang was silent for a quite a while. He wanted to say something but he hesitated. Finally, with difficulty, he responded, “Okay.”
“You hand over all important household matters to Aunt Chen. Give both dessert shops to Kang Lin to manage. Quickly finish those tasks. After that, you may pack your belongings and move out.” Shen Yu propped up his chin to think for a moment. He then said, “I’ll give you a week, is that enough?”
Uncle Zhang gulped, “...That’s enough. “
Shen Yu nodded, “You can go now.”
Uncle Zhang turned and walked to the door. He took a step outside the room, he was moving slow abd sluggish. Just as he was about to close the door, he couldn’t help but let his voice out, “Sir, forgive me for being frank...”
This time, Uncle Zhang didn’t give Shen Yu an opportunity to interrupt him. He continued without slightest hesitation, “I believe that there’s no mistake in my way of handling things, let alone in my way of handling Master Shen’s matter. Perhaps you weren’t aware, but ever since the Shen family took Tang Li in, you underwent tremendous changes.”
What he said made Shen Yu pause all of sudden. He raised his eyebrow at Uncle Zhang. He motioned his eyes as a hint for Uncle Zhang to continue.
Uncle Zhang swallowed subconsciously and slowly said, “Previously, you used to be decisive in your work. You were never sloppy nor do you act on impulse. Work is all you have. Even Old Master Shen did not spare any effort to criticise you regarding this matter. You were really working hard for the Shen family at that time.”
Shen Yu, “...”
He seemed to have guessed what Uncle Zhang was going to say next.
As expected, he heard Uncle Zhang say, “But now you are single-minded in educating Tang Li as well as managing those two dessert shops on top of it. Most of the things in the company are piled up for Kang Lin to deal with. You have been absent in several important meetings because of Tang Li’s minor illness. Some people even think that Kang Lin is you, Manager Shen.”
Shen Yu was speechless. He really couldn’t find words to refute Uncle Zhang.
“Sir.” Uncle Zhang looked at Shen Yu with glistening tears in his eyes and sincerely said, “Perhaps Master Shen shouldn’t have suggested that you take Tang Li in, or you wouldn’t have degraded into this.”
Shen Yu was speechless, “I...”
Uncle Zhang continued, “You always think about Tang Li these days, but have you ever thought about the Shen family?”
Shen Yu was unable to say anything.
The quiet air spread throughout the study room. The surrounding was so quiet that only their breathing could be heard.
Shen Yu was stiff, he did not move.
In fact, he had a lot to say to Uncle Zhang.
Such as the Shen family company’s performance that had begun to decline. Probably in a short time, it will usher in bankruptcy as described in the original text. When the time comes, the whole Shen family will become impoverished.
For instance, he was just a pastry chef. The only thing he knew was how to make pastries as well as run a dessert shop. He really didn’t have the ability to manage a large scale company.
Shen Yu didn’t even know how he supported the Shen family up till now.
It was a pity that not much could be said. In the end, not a word came out from Shen Yu’s mouth.
When Shen Yu returned to his senses, Uncle Zhang had already left the study room.
