Chapter 393 Chapter 391, “The Arsonist” (4K)

After closing the door, the lights in the suite were bright and warm. Shen Huanxi’s nervousness was slightly relieved. Suddenly, he thought of something. He was alone and knocked on his boss’s door. According to some unspoken rules in the workplace, he would not think… huh?

He glanced at Lin Chu nonchalantly, took off his coat, and wore a white T-shirt on his upper body. He looked muscular but not bloated.

As a result, my heart couldn’t help but tighten, and I even felt the violent secretion of my hormones.

She realized that her behavior at the moment was irrational and she was indeed impulsive.

“What would you like to drink? If you want coffee, pour it yourself. If you want tea, I just made some. Have a seat.”

Lin Chu said with a smile and sat down in front of the coffee table.

At this time, Lin Chu’s cell phone rang. It was An Yunzhi from home calling to ask where he was and how his trip was going. Lin Chu answered the phone casually, not caring that there were people around. He gave a brief report and then hung up.

Shen Huanxi originally wanted to avoid it, but when she saw Lin Chu talking on the phone and waving his hand for her to sit down, she also sat up straight.

After listening to the entire conversation between Lin Chu and his family, when the phone went off, Shen Huanxi also saw the screen saver photo. It was Lin Chu holding a chubby pink baby, looking happy and beautiful. She was stunned and a little dazed.

The boss is married?
Do you have children yet?

But on second thought, it is normal. He is young and promising, has a successful career, is tall and handsome, so it is natural for him to get married.

Moreover, objectively speaking, Lin Chu is now mature, steady and elegant. That feeling is probably the “husband feeling” that has been very popular on the Internet recently.

It is probably difficult for an unmarried man to have this kind of temperament. It is a kind of warm aura that can only be nurtured by being taken care of by his wife at home and immersed in happiness and love for a long time.

As long as his family life is unhappy or he lacks self-discipline, he will be a greasy middle-aged man.

“Tell me what’s the matter.”

“Actually, you don’t have to be so efficient. I was just kidding in the basement.”

Lin Chu poured her a cup of tea and made a casual joke.

Shen Huanxi tapped the table with her knuckles, thanking him for the tea. The slight embarrassment she had felt since entering the room disappeared into thin air at the gentle voice. She subconsciously lifted her hair and smiled boldly, “Actually, there’s nothing special to report. I just suddenly had the urge to come up and see you. There were so many people around just now that it was inconvenient to say some things.”

She decided not to beat around the bush and to play it straight to avoid misunderstanding.

Lin Chu laughed softly: “If there is anything you can’t say, just say it. Are you going to sue Mr. Hu? Just tell me. If he really did something wrong, I will support you.”

In fact, at this moment, Lin Chu already vaguely understood her thoughts, which was that she just wanted to be close to him. As for whether she had ulterior motives, it was not necessarily that strong.

From a psychological perspective, this is similar to a strong-worship complex.

It’s like an ordinary employee of a company who identifies with the company’s values, is well treated, does not feel aggrieved, and whose life has been greatly improved. When the boss comes to inspect, he is very eager to see him, but he does not necessarily want to see him for improvement or anything else.

But naturally I would start with work.

“No, I wouldn’t either. The Luxury Goods Division is a very competitive team. We are all very capable and responsible people. Besides, what the company has given us is already more than enough.”

Although Shen Huanxi knew that Lin Chu was joking, he still responded solemnly.

She has a sense of collective honor, so as to avoid the boss thinking too much.

“If you don’t want to talk about work, then you want to talk about me. Just tell me what you want to talk about. For the sake of being an internal employee, my standard charge is one thousand per hour. Is this reasonable?”

Lin Chu took a sip of tea, showing just the right distance.

It is true that the woman opposite had once left some impression on him, but that was all.

In the early days of the company, I set a rule that rabbits don’t eat grass near their burrows. Later, among all the women I had relationships with, none of them were employees hired by the company in a formal manner. This is the ethics of a boss. At least in this regard, I have done nothing wrong.

Shen Huanxi couldn’t help but laugh softly. One thousand yuan an hour, this price was really too favorable. The price that Mr. Lin set for his time was indeed a bit low.

Although I have never been to a club that serves successful women, I have a rough idea that the price of a sexy male model is about this price.

Of course, these thoughts only flashed through my mind, and I secretly teased him in my heart. I definitely didn’t have the courage to say them out loud, and it would be inappropriate.

“I think it makes sense. I’ll have to waste a few more hours of your time. I finally got the chance to make some money.”

“I have consulted before. The charging standard of MBA business tutors is at least 5,000 yuan per hour. Mr. Lin, you are losing money.”

Shen Huanxi responded with a smile, and felt that his condition had recovered. He felt more confident: “Then I asked?”

“Just ask.”

Lin Chu leaned back tactically and looked at her calmly.

“First question, I want to know what you are busy with recently? Either work or daily life, or how do you manage your time in a day?”

“Of course, if you feel it violates your privacy, you can choose to ignore it.”

Shen Huanxi was not prepared at all. At this moment, all she could think of were the celebrity interviews she had seen before. She even felt inexplicably that she was a bit like… Lu Yu, Lu Yu?

“I’m currently studying university math and physics, about eight hours a day, four hours of fitness, two hours in the morning and evening, about two hours of work, and the rest of the time, taking care of the kids and sleeping.”

Lin Chu said frankly that there was nothing to hide and it did not involve privacy. If it was something private, he would naturally not tell her.

Hearing this, Shen Huanxi was completely stunned, with shock in her eyes.

Self-study?

College math and physics?
What is this operation?
Moreover, Lin Chu put this first, which obviously made him very proud.

But, how could a boss worth hundreds of billions be so proud of these things?
“Are you preparing for the postgraduate entrance examination?”

“Or do you have any other plans?”

She was full of curiosity and doubt, and asked subconsciously.

“Studying is studying. Pursuing academic qualifications is meaningless to me. There is no need for that at all. I just want to learn.”

“Besides that… since you asked, I might as well tell you that when people reach a certain position, the number of people they can talk to actually decreases. It can be said that it is lonely at the top. But you will need spiritual sustenance, and family is a very important part of this sustenance, but the part beyond reality should be left to books and knowledge, at least for me. Of course, there are also people who like fishing, mountain climbing, cycling, skewers, and stock trading. It’s essentially the same.”

“For me, mathematical axioms are precise and beautiful, and physics is magnificent and full of imagery. Last year and the year before, I studied more social sciences and humanities, self-cultivation, and the red books… Now I have passed that stage and have internalized them. I have done what I can do, and I have let myself go of what I cannot do and do not ask for more.”

Lin Chu spoke freely and these were all her true words, which were definitely worth her consulting fee.

Shen Huanxi listened attentively, and gradually an emotion that could be called admiration emerged in his eyes. What kind of life is this, what kind of spiritual realm is this?

Life after achieving financial freedom is truly very comfortable.

Moreover, not every financially free person has the same vision as Lin Chu.

“I have learned a lot and benefited a lot.” “When I am tired of work and want to retire, maybe I will do the same… Second question, how do you view marriage?”

“To be honest, this is one of my current dilemmas. I am a 28-year-old woman, not young anymore. I was busy with work before and didn’t have the energy. Now looking back, coupled with the current environment, I am really a little confused.”

Shen Huanxi asked with a slightly red face. This kind of chatting atmosphere really made people feel comfortable. The high-quality conversation was tantamount to a spiritual massage.

“This question is over.”

“You can’t tell the water temperature when you’re watching people in the water from the shore. Objectively speaking, my own love life is also a mess.”

“As we all know, a man with a bit of status and position is usually considered a bastard in the eyes of women in the emotional field.”

“I can tell you what I think. To achieve success in one’s career, whether it’s a man or a woman, one must be absolutely focused, believe in, and love oneself, regardless of one’s stance or interests. This is naturally mutually exclusive with feelings, love, family, and marriage. What is love? Love is the sinking of one’s own will… As the old saying goes, the land of gentleness is the grave of heroes, and that’s the truth.”

“If you want to know, it’s impossible to learn from others. You have to jump into the water yourself and feel it. Is the water temperature OK?”

Lin Chu felt like he was having a great time chatting, his thoughts were clear, so he drank another cup of tea and boiled some water.

Shen Huanxi was silent, feeling as if something had suddenly dawned on him.

People standing in high places do see things differently. Even if one ignores his identity, these words are particularly convincing. Lin Chu’s posture at this moment also makes him look like an honest elder.

As for what Lin Chu said, that love life is a mess and that successful men are mostly bastards in the eyes of women when it comes to love, I have seen a lot of this during my years of work, so naturally I agree with it.

A man who can admit all this in person and not care about his external image is truly genuine and courageous.

“I want to know, um, what were your criteria for choosing a spouse? I’d like to have some reference. Of course, if it involves privacy, then just pretend I didn’t ask.”

Shen Huanxi was in a very good mood and continued to ask questions, and the conversation became more and more relaxed.

Hearing this question, Lin Chu couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

“This is the scoring phase.”

“When you’re young, your hormones are surging. You want to flirt with anyone who’s good-looking, or even if they’re not that good-looking, with a good figure and long legs. It’s pure animal instinct.”

“When I enter the next stage, from an animal to an animal of profit, I will occasionally think about what this woman can bring to me. Will it cause more trouble or benefit? I will choose the best one.”

“As for now…compared to my role as a woman, I care more about my identity as a mother.”

Lin Chu spoke without any taboos. He was naturally aware that what he said was inaccurate in the traditional sense, but he just said it. It was an absolutely true expression, even though the person on the other side was a woman.

Shen Huanxi actually felt a little uncomfortable. She was not very comfortable in any of the three stages. Her brows slightly frowned while Lin Chu was talking, but she soon became aware of her expression and controlled herself to relax.

This just confirms the second question that Lin Chu just answered – a bastard in the eyes of women.

“Are you proud of that?”

She asked.

Lin Chu thought for a moment and said, “No. Humans are the sum of divinity and animality, and they are somewhere in between.”

“Can you say something like that in front of your wife?”

Unconsciously, Shen Huanxi’s questions became more pointed, as if she was questioning him.

Lin Chu smiled and waved his hands: “Of course. It’s just that there is no need for that. Why should people make themselves unhappy? Not only do you have to be a powerful bastard, you also have to be a cunning bastard.”

Shen Huanxi: …

Looking at the rascally smile on the man’s face at this moment, she suddenly felt an extremely strong sense of powerlessness in her heart.

Invincible.

So invincible.

It is conceivable that such a man can capture the hearts of many young girls and young women. He is simply an arsonist of hearts.

A charming bastard.

“I…I have one last question.”

“How would you rate me?”

Shen Huanxi took a deep breath and drank a sip of tea. He felt as if he had just gone through an intense brainstorming meeting. He mustered up his courage and asked.

Such evaluations are naturally valuable and may provide some reference for yourself.

“you?”

Lin Chu looked at her with a smile and thought for a moment: “You have the will but not the courage?”

With just six short words, Shen Huanxi’s defenses were completely broken. Her fair face instantly turned red, like a fully ripe peach. She even felt a little restless and wished she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

How…how can you say that to me?

How could I have that?
I’m not?
But there is no way to refute it.

These six words were a fatal blow.

The psychological defenses and self-esteem disguise that I thought were quite solid that I had built up for myself were instantly shattered.

Seeing her like this, Lin Chu couldn’t help but laugh, shrugged, and spread his hands: “This is not a shameful thing, it proves that you have a good aesthetic taste.”

she:……!!!
“I…thank you for your time. I, I’ll take my leave now.”

Shen Huanxi felt that she could no longer stay here. She was extremely out of control and panicked. If she stayed any longer, it would be very embarrassing.

She stood up and walked quickly towards the door.

“Remember to pay the consulting fee, and donate it directly to the LC Foundation. Even a mosquito leg is meat… Don’t think of getting it for free from me.”

Lin Chuan sat steadily on the sofa and smiled at her back.

Shen Huanxi turned around, responded hoarsely, and quickly pushed the door open, looking somewhat embarrassed.
