I Am A Boss Mommy That Wants To Slack

415 Jingjing, Long Time No See!

Shen Ruojing glanced at the address on the phone and coldly laughed before she turned and left.

She soon went outside the award ceremony’s venue and saw that Chu Cichen had sent Shen Yuansong into a car. However, the car had not driven off. Clearly, Shen Yuansong had something to say to her.

Shen Ruojing hastened her steps and went toward the car as she greeted him. Shen Yuansong then slowly spoke, “For the matter of acknowledgment, don’t inform your mother first. I’ll personally bring her back home after I finish handling the matters of the Shen Family.”

Shen Ruojing nodded. “Sure.”

!!

Today’s award ceremony was a grand occasion for the scientific world, and there were no reporters. Hence, the events that happened wouldn’t be publicized.

After all, all scientific researchers were top talents of the country, and their names were classified information.

After Shen Yuansong left, Shen Ruojing then looked at Chu Cichen and walked to the Chu Family’s car. But at this moment, somehow Lu Cheng, who was inside the car, suddenly jumped out.

He had a face filled with excitement. “Lord Jing, Bro Chen, has the matter been settled?”

Shen Ruojing didn’t reply and Chu Cichen nodded.

Lu Cheng continued, “Oh right, did you guys meet Professor Z? Back then in Sea City, we kept looking for him but were unable to find him. I wonder what sort of mysterious character he is.”

Chu Cichen and Shen Ruojing shared a glance after hearing this, and they suddenly burst out in laughter.

Lu Cheng didn’t understand their actions. He tidied his floral-print shirt and scratched his head after some time. “What are you guys laughing about? Is my dress sense weird today?”

“Oh, I know. Is Prof. Z a strange person? I’ve said that those in scientific research wouldn’t care about small details. Don’t tell me he has a full beard and dresses sloppily while he stinks of sweat?”

Shen Ruojing. “…”

Her face darkened, but before she could speak, Lu Cheng continued, “This award forbade entry to all non-scientists. How troublesome. If not, I could have followed you guys in for a look too. We definitely have to forge a good relationship with Prof. Z. The pharmaceutical industry that our Chu Corporation is focusing on will definitely not be able to endure without the Z Corporation’s support. Right now, many people are jealous of us. If someone is willing to offer a high enough pay to headhunt Prof. Z away, we will be in dire straits!”

When Chu Cichen heard this, he nodded. “You are correct. If we don’t want him to leave, we have to give him enough benefits.”

Lu Cheng. “Right now, the patent fee we are paying is already very high. What other benefits can we give?”

Chu Cichen glanced at Shen Ruojing. “Maybe give myself in marriage?”

Lu Cheng. “???”

He was stunned.

He still wanted to say something, but Shen Ruojing’s ears suddenly turned red as she interjected, “No need.”

After that, she got into the car first.

Lu Cheng’s head was filled with question marks as he looked at Chu Cichen. He didn’t really understand Shen Ruojing’s words. “No need what?”

Chu Cichen. “Prof. Z doesn’t want to marry me.”

Lu Cheng. “!!!”

He was completely rooted to the ground as he stared at the car in disbelief.

What did Bro Chen mean?

At this moment, Lu Hui ran out of the ceremony venue. After he saw Lu Cheng, he grabbed his arm. “Hey, where’s my boss?”

Lu Cheng. “Your boss? Prof. Z?”

“Yeah…” After Lu Hui said this, he saw the car door at the side slowly being closed. He immediately understood something. Hence, he rushed over and shouted, “Boss, you can’t leave! I still have a few contracts here that I need you to go through…”

From the car, Shen Ruojing’s cold voice rang out. “I’ve retired, you can handle them.”

Lu Hui. “…”

He twitched his lips and just when he wanted to say something, the sound of an exclamation rang out from the side. “My god? Lord Jing is actually Professor Z?!” ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ Noᴠelꜰire

Lu Hui. “?”

He slowly turned his head with an unpleasant look on his face. “That is my boss.”

“Oh, she is my Lord Jing too.” Lu Cheng then went into the driver’s seat. After that, Lu Hui heard Lu Cheng say, “Lord Jing, we want to concoct another type of drug, but I’ve forgotten its name. In any case, it is a medicine that needs raw materials from a petri dish. The overseas company is too petty and refuses to sell the technology to us. Why don’t you make us one?”

Lu Hui twitched his lips.

A lazy person like his boss would only speak and not take action. She always said that she was retired, so how would she work?

But just when this thought crossed his mind, the car’s engine stirred to life and drove past him. When it passed by him, through the opened window, he heard a cold female voice reply, “Sure.”

Lu Hui. “…”

He felt his body freezing and being petrified before cracking open.

(Boss, what happened to your retirement life? Why is there so much difference in treatment?!)

The next morning, Shen Ruojing woke up and practiced Taichi as usual, and she coincidentally saw Chu Cichen jogging in the park. After the two of them finished their exercises, they tacitly walked back together.

Shen Ruojing asked, “Do you have any arrangements tonight?”

Chu Cichen replied, “Nope. I’ll be back in the afternoon. I’ve promised Little Ye to help him calculate his entertainment company’s quarterly report to see how much money he made.”

“…Money grubber.” Shen Ruojing couldn’t help but mumble.

Chu Cichen’s lips curled into a smile. He continued, “I also have to accompany Xiao Meng to supervise how she writes. Teacher Sparton sent me a text, saying she is too lazy. Her writing speed cannot match her brain’s speed, and practicing writing will calm her heart down.”

Shen Ruojing nodded. “Let’s see if she can find a new excuse tonight if she fails to write the words well.”

“…” Chu Cichen smiled. “Also, Little Yu wants you to tutor him in math.”

When Shen Ruojing heard this, she stumbled and hastened her footsteps. “I’m busy tonight.”

Chu Cichen glanced at her back as a warm smile lit his face.

When he chatted with Shen Ruojing about the shortcomings of their children, it gave him a sense of happiness from a quiet life with no regrets.

However, somehow he started feeling uneasy.

...

It seemed that something was going to happen and interrupt his happiness.

Chu Cichen lowered his eyes.

–

At 6 p.m.

Shen Ruojing punctually arrived at the address that Shen Jiayi had shown her yesterday.

This place was a French restaurant. Right now, Shen Ruojing wore a cap and a black facial mask. After she entered, she found a corner seat in the hall.

She could see Shen Jiayi entering and sitting in a location far away, which was next to the window.

There was a river outside and the scenery was beautiful.

Also, Shen Jiayi had specially dolled herself up. She would glance at her watch occasionally and seemed to be a little impatient from waiting.

Shen Ruojing took a sip of tea.

She also glanced at her phone.

...

It was five minutes past six.

Shen Jiayi had told her yesterday that she and Chu Cichen agreed to meet at six p.m. today.

But Chu Cichen would definitely not come.

So, this guy must be the one who accompanied her in dating six years ago!!

Did that person truly exist?

Back in Ford City, although the canteen aunty had proved that his existence was real, Shen Ruojing still felt that it was incredulous.

Even if Chu Cichen had a twin, they must have grown up in different environments, so their personalities wouldn’t be so similar to the extent that even she couldn’t tell the difference…this was also why she came today.

Right now, more than five minutes had passed.

Would he appear?

Shen Ruojing couldn’t be sure. Right now, she was feeling a little nervous.

She then took a deep breath and glanced at her phone again a few minutes later.

It was now ten past six.

Shen Jiayi was already extremely impatient. Hence, she stood up and frenziedly made a call. However, it was evident that the other party didn’t pick up her call.

After another ten minutes, Shen Jiayi was so angry that she kicked the table and chairs.

At 6.30, Shen Jiayi finally took her bag and stormed out in anger.

Seeing this scene, Shen Ruojing lowered her eyelids and finished her last bit of tea.

Luckily, no one came. In other words, there was basically no such person!

Back then, the one she was dating was precisely Chu Cichen. If this was the case, both of them could accept the truth, and things would be much more simple.

She drew in a deep breath. But just when she was preparing to settle the bill, the area beside her dimmed.

Her figure also froze.

She slowly turned her head and saw a tall man standing beside her.

The man had robust-looking features, and his phoenix eyes gleamed with joy and happiness after seeing her. His face was clearly Chu Cichen’s face.

But Shen Ruojing could tell at a single glance.

He wasn’t Chu Cichen!

Shen Ruojing’s eyes violently narrowed and she was in a daze for a time. After that, she saw the man opening his mouth. “Jingjing, it has been a long time since we last met.”

“…”
