Chapter 254
Si Chengyou did indeed feel a bit amused, especially seeing Shen Hui, who was like a demon in his memory, now being held tightly like an ordinary child. No matter how Si Chengyou thought about it, he felt this matter was very interesting.
At 15 years old, Shen Hui was not weak. At this time, she had already reached a height that ordinary people could not achieve in their entire lifetime.
To be able to restrict 15-year-old Shen Hui to this extent, Shen Yichen was already impressive enough for Si Chengyou to look at him with admiration.
At the same time, it also opened up a new idea for Si Chengyou.
After Shen Yichen came over, Si Chengyou no longer kept his gaze on Shen Yue and Shen Hui, but began to observe Shen Yichen.
Although Shen Yichen's behavior of punishing his own brother for a toad seemed a bit unreliable, Si Chengyou knew that Shen Yichen had the aura unique to those of high status.
Being in a high position without arrogance, this described people like Shen Yichen.
Hearing Shen Yichen take the initiative to greet him, Si Chengyou also nodded, showing a smile that made people feel close. He said, "This is not the military. I came to see Brother Shen as a comrade-in-arms. Just call me Si Chengyou. If you don't mind, you can also call me Xiao Si."
Shen Shuangchen had been working with Si Chengyou for years. As long as Si Chengyou had clear intentional directions, he could make corresponding reactions according to what Si Chengyou had taught him before.
And now, although Si Chengyou did not give him explicit orders, he captured Si Chengyou's intentions and instinctively spoke to help, "Big Brother, although he is my superior, he is only 20 years old this year. In private, he also calls me brother."
Shen Yichen was a little surprised. Si Chengyou did look very young, but whether it was his ruthless and decisive aura or the vicissitudes etched in his eyes, one could feel the traces carved out by time, one stroke at a time, all extraordinary.
How could such a person be only 20 years old?
Reaching this position at 20 years old was impressive.
Like Si Chengyou, after coming into contact with him, Shen Yichen also made a simple judgment about Si Chengyou in a short time.
However, Shen Yichen was even clearer about one thing: the art of language in Xia Country emphasized moderation. When others let you call them Xiao Si, they were being modest, lowering their stance from their high position in order to get closer to their subordinates for better communication.
But you cannot really be ill-mannered.
Listen to half of what people say, and leave half of it, don't fully believe it.
Doing whatever others say, Shen Yichen only did that before the age of 8. After 8 years old, he began to realize the traps hidden in language.
"You flatter me too much. Although I am slightly older than you, I cannot be your elder. I will still call you Mr. Si."
Si Chengyou nodded. His evaluation of Shen Yichen rose even higher in his heart.
He had heard before that Shen Yichen was a businessman, but he did not seem like an ordinary businessman now. This man had a scale in his heart.
He was very clear about what he could do and what he could not do, and would never cross the line.
One could tell from the way he addressed others just now.
By now, Si Chengyou had basically obtained the information he wanted, so he stopped probing and began to ask some things he was interested in...ahem no, some more important matters, "You care so much about the toad, do you want to use it to guard your house?"
As soon as Shen Yichen heard this, his stance relaxed. He sighed deeply, "As a businessman, I'm quite superstitious. Please don't mind."
Si Chengyou shook his head and said, "'The Book of Changes' says, 'With the favor of heaven, there will be good fortune, and no harm.' You are an impressive family leader and an impressive big brother."
When Si Chengyou said “family leader”, Shen Yichen did not react much, but when he heard Si Chengyou call him “big brother”, his eyes softened.
"They are indeed a handful in our family, but they are all good kids."
The corner of Si Chengyou's mouth did not change, but his eyes were deep in thought.
After a while, he said, "Living things are prone to all kinds of accidents, which are hard to avoid. But if you just want to use the toad to guard your house, you can consider making a stone statue to place in your home. I took a look at the layout of your home just now. Did you consult a feng shui master?"
Shen Yichen's heart stirred. Only then did he finally become a little interested. "Mr. Si, do you also know something about this?"
Si Chengyou smiled. "My elders at home have studied 'The Book of Changes' quite a bit. I also read some along. Feng shui is the natural law of heaven and earth left by our ancestors. It is believing in and respecting nature, different from superstition."
Shen Yichen's eyes condensed, and his expression suddenly became solemn. "Mr. Si, tell me more."
The two walked back into the room. Shen Yue saw this and marveled at Si Chengyou's skills to grasp her big brother's weakness so quickly. At the same time, she was grateful that her fifth brother had become her scapegoat.
She patted Shen Wu on the shoulder and comforted, "Fifth Brother, don't be afraid. I will help you survive. Trust me! I'll steal Hui Hui's money to raise you!"
Shen Hui: ...
Seeing that Shen Hui did not refute, Shen Wu was in a great mood. It seemed like he had found a way to torment Shen Hui.
Shen Wu beamed at Shen Yue radiantly. At that moment, it was as if there was light around him. "Great! Remember to steal all of Shen Hui's money."
Shen Yue refused, "Stealing it all is no good. I still need Hui Hui's money to go to school."
"You're right, then steal more."
"Okay."
Shen Hui: ...
After a while, Shen Yue suddenly remembered something and ran off like the wind.
Mr. Si was chatting with Big Brother again. She had to make tea for them!
