Chapter 1822: Reborn for the Sake of Beauty

The warm-as-jade, kind-hearted General Manager Sheng suddenly turned into a cold-faced president; at first, everyone was unaccustomed to it, but soon they were all crying out in misery!

Sheng Zihan had become a workaholic, and his subordinates could not keep up with his work intensity; they were sent spinning in circles every day, and if they were even slightly slow, they would be scolded severely.

Those around him were all trembling with fear, and even Shi Youxuan began to worry about her son, terrified that he would bottle things up until he fell ill.

She said to her husband, "Since Zihan returned from the United States, he has been like a different person; he must have been provoked."

"Why don't you ask the people around him what happened in the United States?"

Sheng Hanyu said, "I have already inquired. He went to the United States to find Tian Yuanyuan. He had actually found her, but for some reason, that girl ran away again, and that is why he is acting like he has lost his soul."

"Oh, so that's how it is."

Shi Youxuan sighed, "Yuanyuan is indeed a good girl, a very well-bred young lady. It would be a good thing if the two of them ended up together."

Her husband glanced at her, "Are you not listening? I just said she ran away again; right now, the girl doesn't have feelings for your son, he's suffering from heartbreak."

Shi Youxuan chided, "Of course I understood what you said. I meant that we could give him a hand..."

Sheng Hanyu shook his head, "Don't get involved in everything. Do you think that with Zihan's abilities, he can't find her himself? Since he isn't looking, it means there is an irreconcilable conflict between them. Don't interfere; I think it's fine this way."

Shi Youxuan glared at him, and this time, it was a real glare!

This guy only cares about work efficiency and doesn't care about his son's love life at all. No, she is his mother, and she has to intervene.

Late at night.

Zihan dragged his exhausted body and pushed open the front door, only to hear a sinister voice say, "You're back—"

Immediately after, a snow-white shadow stood up from the sofa, with disheveled hair and a pale face, still using a flashlight pointed at its chin.

The last time she did this, Zihan was almost scared to the point of wetting himself.

At the same time, in the same place, with the same person... Zihan was surprisingly calm.

He just glanced at her and said calmly, "Mom, you're at your age and still acting so childish, is it fun?"

"Go to sleep early; staying up late is bad for your health. I'm going to sleep too."

"Snap!"

The lights in the living room were turned on by Shi Youxuan.

She blocked her son's path and asked worriedly, "Zihan, are you alright? If you have something on your mind, tell Mom. If you have difficulties, tell me too; Mom can help you."

"Thank you, Mom. I have no difficulties and nothing on my mind. Everything is just fine. I have a meeting tomorrow morning, so I won't talk to you anymore. I'm going to sleep, you should rest early too."

Zihan's eyes were bloodshot; he hadn't had a good rest in many days.

Shi Youxuan couldn't bear to keep stopping her son to pry for answers and sacrifice his sleep time, so she could only think of other ways.

"Alright, get some good rest."

"Mm, goodnight, Mom."

"Goodnight, son."

Shi Youxuan returned to her room, but she tossed and turned all night without sleeping.

Children are a mother's heart and soul; she feels distressed whenever any of her children have problems.

The next morning, she went out and bought steamed buns and sticky rice siu mai at a breakfast shop; these were the breakfasts Zihan liked.

"Knock, knock, knock."

She knocked on the bedroom door lightly, "Zihan, get up and eat breakfast. Mom bought you the steamed buns and sticky rice siu mai you like."

There was no movement in the room.

She used a little force, and the door opened. There was no one in the room; Zihan had already gone to work.

Shi Youxuan:...

It was too early. From the time Zihan was small until now, what he liked most was sleeping in; usually, he couldn't be woken up even if you called him.

He used to say that he needed to ensure enough sleep to have a good mood.

Now he only sleeps five hours a day and works himself to death; if this continues, his body won't be able to take it.

Shi Youxuan was anxious in her heart, so she called Zirui and asked him to find time to persuade Zihan. Zirui agreed readily.

General Manager's office.

"Knock, knock, knock."

"Come in." Zihan's desk was piled high with thick documents. He thought it was a subordinate coming in to report on work, so he didn't even look up.

Zirui pushed the door open and entered, "Yo, our big president is working so hard. What kind of provocation did you receive?"

He looked up, the corners of his mouth lifting as he smiled, "Busy man, how do you have time to come over? Sit."

"Have you eaten breakfast?"

Zirui showed the bag in his hand, "Guess what I bought?"

Sheng Zihan laughed, "You don't take me for an idiot, do you? Zhou's sticky rice siu mai, right? I smelled the fragrance the moment you walked in."

"Let's eat together."

"Alright."

Zihan cleared off the coffee table and set out the siu mai, soy milk, and millet porridge.

Originally, the soy milk was placed in front of Zihan, but he swapped it with Zirui, putting the soy milk in front of Zirui and taking his millet porridge.

"Yo, you've really changed completely. How come you like millet porridge now? Aren't you afraid of it choking your throat?"

When Zihan was a child, he once ate millet porridge and got a grain of millet stuck in his throat, coughing for a long time before he was okay.

Since then, it left him with a psychological shadow, and he never ate millet porridge.

Zihan didn't explain, but rolled his eyes at Zirui, "You're being too nosy. I'll eat whatever I want. On my turf, do I need your permission for what I eat?"

"Fine, I won't worry about you."

After the brothers finished breakfast, Zihan had his Secretary bring in hot tea and said to Zirui, "It was Mom who asked you to come, right? I'm fine. Tell her not to worry."

"You even know Mom is worried about you? Actually, it's not just Mom; our whole family is very worried about you. Are you... really alright?"

"I'm really fine, you all are truly interesting."

"I go on dates with different girls every day, you all can't stand it and call me a playboy who is unfaithful; now that I've become the way you want me to be, why are you still dissatisfied?"

Zirui: "Everyone isn't dissatisfied with you, they are just concerned about you, understand?"

"I understand, you all can rest assured, I'm fine."

"Are you really fine?"

"I'm really fine, stop asking me all the time. Let me ask you instead, how are things with Qi Shishi? You two went through life and death together once, and there's no 'after that'?"

Zirui:...

He did not want to talk about himself.

He brushed it off: "You don't need to worry about my affairs, we are still the same as always. I was young and ignorant before and didn't understand, but now I think Mom and Dad's decision was correct. Shi Shishi and I are truly not a good match; it is impossible for us to ever be together."

"Since you can't be together, why don't you accept blind dates?"

"I am prioritizing my career right now and am not thinking about those things for the time being."

Zihan shouted: "How can you be so double-standard? You can prioritize your career, why can't I? Don't forget we are twins, our style of doing things should be the same..."

Considering he had just been provoked, Zirui did not retort.

The two of them had always been twins, but when had their styles of doing things ever been the same?
