Chapter 718: The Chairman is Mistaken for a Commoner

Dingsheng Group.

Sheng Hanyu transferred from a bus to a taxi, but he was still late for the company.

Working hours had already begun.

He arrived at the main entrance and was stopped by a Security Guard.

"Hello, please register."

"It's me."

"Whoever you are, you still have to register; this is our company's policy."

Sheng Hanyu:...

He took two steps forward, looked the Security Guard in the eye at close range, and said word by word: "Take a good look at who I am and tell me if you're sure you want me to register?"

"Ah! Chairman!"

The Security Guard looked as if he had seen the end of the world, his eyes so shocked they nearly popped out: "Chairman, why are you dressed like this?"

Sheng Hanyu: "Do I need to explain myself to you, hmm?"

"No need, no need! I'm sorry, Chairman, I didn't recognize you just now."

The Security Guard hurriedly stepped aside, and Sheng Hanyu entered the company.

"Sir, stop right there, that elevator is not for you to... Chairman?"

"Bang!"

The receptionist bumped her head against the wall.

She had seen a man walking straight toward the Chairman's private elevator and had moved to stop him, thinking he was a maintenance worker from somewhere who had gone to the wrong place.

She never expected it to actually be the Chairman!

Why was the Chairman dressed like this?

Along the way, Sheng Hanyu was misunderstood by almost everyone he met.

Cups falling to the floor and people turning around to bump into walls were everywhere.

Everyone was surprised at first, but they quickly found a logical explanation.

"The Chairman is testing us, right?"

"Yeah, that must be it."

"Better work hard; the Chairman is too terrifying, actually going undercover..."

"Exactly, if we get caught slacking off, we'll get fired. That was close!"

Sheng Hanyu did not know that just by changing his clothes, he would be over-interpreted by his employees into several different versions.

Top floor office area.

The Assistant saw him and, although slightly stunned, recognized him.

"Good morning, Chairman."

"Hmm."

Sheng Hanyu entered his office; the Assistant brought in hot tea, and the Secretary delivered the day's schedule and a thick stack of documents.

Then the two stood before his desk, looking as if they had something to say but were holding back.

"Something the matter?"

"No, nothing."

"Get out."

"Yes."

They didn't dare ask and left.

"Phew—"

Sheng Hanyu leaned back in his chair and let out a long, heavy sigh.

This job of pretending to be a pauper is really not something for a rich man to do!

It was almost noon by the time Shi Youxuan woke up.

The child was not by her side, but the sound of a story being read came from the small room, along with Sheng Zichen's "giggle" laughter.

She glanced at the watch on her wrist; it was already ten-thirty.

Outside the window, it was even noisier.

But strangely, she had slept extremely well; she had fallen asleep quickly after returning from outside in the early morning, and she hadn't even dreamed.

Shi Youxuan thought, I really have strong adaptability!

She walked out of the room, and what met her eyes was a scene of kindness and harmony.

Sheng Zichen was snuggled in Xiao Ya's arms, listening to her tell a story with rapt attention.

Xiao Ya radiated a glow, as if she had become ten years younger overnight.

Her voice was gentle, and she was very patient in telling stories to her "grandson," answering every one of Sheng Zichen's strange questions without a hint of annoyance.

Shi Youxuan was moved.

She found it annoying.

Sometimes, even Wang Yinghao found it annoying!

Sheng Zichen was curious about everything now and wanted to ask about everything.

He was practically a walking "One Hundred Thousand Whys," and the kind that didn't come with the answers.

Xiao Ya was very patient, and Shi Youxuan thought it was because it had only been a short time.

Later, she discovered that some people are just patient with children, regardless of how much time passes.

"You're awake? I'll go heat up some food."

Xiao Ya said gently to Sheng Zichen, "Baobao, Grandma is going to heat up some food for Mommy. Why don't you look at your storybook for a while, okay?"

Sheng Zichen: "No, I'll go with you."

"Alright."

The grandmother and grandson went to the kitchen together.

Although the house was small.

The family of three didn't feel much inconvenience in their daily life in this small house.

It was mainly because Xiao Ya was so good at taking care of people.

She made three meals a day with different varieties, and if the bathroom was small, she would try her best to avoid using it at the same time.

There was no water heater in the house, so she would boil hot water for them to use, and even the toothpaste was already squeezed onto the toothbrush.

Sheng Zichen was too naughty and never had a moment of stillness.

The clothes on his body would get dirty after wearing them for a while, and since there was no washing machine here, they had to be washed by hand.

As the dirty clothes were put into the basin and Shi Youxuan was about to fetch water, the basin was snatched from her hands: "I'll wash them. You shouldn't do this kind of thing."

Shi Youxuan felt bad: "I can handle this kind of work myself. You go rest for a while; we have already caused you so much trouble."

She truly felt embarrassed.

She had been living here for two days.

The godmother did all the chores and only let her rest, making her feel like she was almost molding from idleness.

Although Shi Youxuan didn't do chores at home either, it didn't feel right to not do any work at someone else's house!

"No need. I waited for so many years just to wait for you to come back. Just staying at home and letting me watch you makes me happy... You've grown up, it's really good..."

Xiao Ya's voice was exceptionally gentle.

Shi Youxuan felt a heavy weight in her heart.

At first, she had worried that Xiao Ya would transfer her love for her daughter onto Sheng Zichen and fight with her for her son.

Now it seemed that she had transferred her love for her daughter onto her, treating her as her own daughter!

Shi Youxuan couldn't bear to interrupt her. Forget it, sometimes refusing to face reality is also a kind of happiness!

Why must one be clear-headed?

"Mom, you are so good." Shi Youxuan hugged Xiao Ya's waist from behind, her voice sweet and clingy.

She changed how she addressed her, no longer calling her "godmother" but calling her "Mom" directly.

Xiao Ya's whole body stiffened, but she soon relaxed.

"Silly child, what mother in the world isn't good to her daughter? You are my daughter, my treasure, my hope for living on..."

A few tears dripped onto Shi Youxuan's hand.

In the room.

Shi Youxuan was on the phone with Jian Yixin.

The image of the two children sleeping in the vegetable crate in the middle of the night kept flashing before Shi Youxuan's eyes; she wanted to quietly do something to help the people in the market, especially those two children.

They were too pitiful.

As a mother, she couldn't stand such a scene; it was heartbreaking to watch.

She had mentioned this to her husband, but he didn't take it to heart.

So Shi Youxuan decided not to rely on him and asked her best friend for help!

After explaining the reason, Shi Youxuan asked: "Yixin, can you do me this favor?"

Jian Yixin: "What's such a small matter? No problem, leave it to me."

Hanging up the phone, Shi Youxuan pushed open the window, looked at the bustling crowd in the market downstairs, and the corners of her mouth turned up.

She felt she had done a good deed, a great good deed, but she didn't expect that she had done a bad thing with good intentions!

Jian Yixin's efficiency was truly not just talk; it was at the speed of a leopard!

In the afternoon.

The Market Management Department notified everyone door-to-door: "The open-air market is being banned. Don't come here tomorrow; go to the new market to sell your goods."

This notice was like cold water poured into a hot wok; the market immediately exploded.

"I'm not going. I'm selling right here, I'm not going anywhere."

"Exactly, coming up with some new trick for no reason. Is it easy for us common folk to earn a little money? They want to squeeze money out of our hands all day long."

"The fees over there are so expensive; what we earn isn't enough to pay the fees. Not going, not going, just not going..."

Everyone was talking at once, saying all sorts of things.

But none of it was pleasant; everyone was against "moving."

The market administrator was unhappy.

He rudely interrupted everyone: "What are you shouting about, what are you shouting about? You small-town citizens, you country bumpkins, you hicks who have never seen the world, your eyes are only fixed on a tiny bit of money..."
