Chapter 101: Not Annoyed by Clinginess

When Shao Chengxi returned to the Shao Residence, Shu Lin had just come back from school.

As he got out of the car and saw Shu Lin excitedly running towards him, the expressionless face he usually wore instantly softened with a smile.

He opened his arms, embracing his Omega fully, naturally kissing him on the cheek, his eyes filled with affection:

“Baby, why are you so happy today? Do you have some good news to tell your brother?”

Shu Lin wrapped his arms around his neck, stood on tiptoe, his eyes sparkling, and said excitedly:

“Brother, I’m going to play the main role, acting with Teacher Feng.”

“I just signed the contract today. The main role, it’s the main role. This is my first main role in a radio drama, I’m so happy, so, so happy.”

At Shu Lin’s request, the Shao family never used its resources to interfere with his voice acting work, relying entirely on his personal efforts.

This was his right to gain happiness, and the Shao family would not interfere, let alone have the right to deprive him of it.

Shu Lin was happy, and Shao Chengxi was happy too. “That’s great, congratulations, baby.”

Shao Chengxi’s hands tightened slightly around his waist, and he lifted him up to straddle his waist, lightly pecking his lips. “Baby is so great, tonight brother will reward you properly in bed.”

Shu Lin playfully punched him, whispering, “Be serious, there are people around.”

Shao Chengxi smiled, noticing Shao Shiyan who had come out to greet them, and slowly put Shu Lin down.

The two chatted and laughed as they entered the villa. Knowing that Shao Chengxi had to go to the study to discuss business, Shu Lin hummed a song and returned to his bedroom.

Watching Shao Chengxi watch Shu Lin go upstairs, Shao Shiyan couldn’t stand it anymore and couldn’t help but complain:

“Alright, the person has already gone upstairs, can’t even see their shadow anymore, staring so intensely, what’s there to see.”

“You two are so clingy all day long, aren’t you annoyed?”

Shao Chengxi withdrew his gaze and glanced at him, “Not annoyed. You’re just someone with unrequited love, what do you know besides complaining? Tsk.”

“Second Brother!” Shao Shiyan was exasperated.

When would he ever be able to win over his sister?

The two entered the study one after another. Shao Tingrui, Shao Bingheng, and Shu Lingxiao were already waiting inside.

Everyone’s expression was serious.

Shao Chengxi explained the inside story he knew to everyone in detail.

It was certain that the candidate for the Minister of Finance had been decided, and it was Lin Zhengyang, the Deputy Minister of Education.

He was someone Wu Xun had supported.

Unexpectedly, the Shao family’s efforts had been reaped by their former ally.

Shao Bingheng sighed, “Clearly, we’ve been played by the President.”

Everyone was silent, indicating agreement.

Shao Tingrui narrowed his eyes, “As expected, the President is afraid of the Shao family’s power and doesn’t dare to suppress us openly, so he can only use this kind of method.”

Shu Lingxiao added, “A balancing act, controlling all sides by suppressing the Shao family!”

Shao Shiyan asked, “What should we do then? We can’t just sit and wait for death, can we?”

The crowd snorted in unison.

Sit and wait for death?

No way!

Shao Chengxi’s eyes were deep:

“The President and Wu Xun are working together, wanting to weaken my influence.”

“But they’ve forgotten that no matter how majestic the political building looks, it can’t do without the support of a solid economic foundation.”

Shao Bingheng frowned, “What do you want to do?”

Shao Chengxi raised his eyes, a glint of sharpness flashing in them, “Strike at the root of the problem.”

After discussing matters, Shu Lingxiao said she had something to do and wouldn’t stay at the Shao Residence for dinner.

Shao Shiyan looked disappointed.

He knew that Shu Lingxiao was deliberately avoiding him.

“Sister, let me take you,” Shao Shiyan said shamelessly, following behind her.

Shu Lingxiao refused without even thinking, “No need, my friend Mu Zi is waiting for me.”

Because of the attack on Shu Lin, Shao Shiyan and Mu Zi were also very familiar, and he took the opportunity to say,

“Perfect, there’s something I want to ask Mu Zi. Sister, let’s go together.”

At this time, Shao Bingheng interjected,

“Lingxiao, Shiyan is right, I asked him to ask Mu Zi, the military doctor, about Yuanheng’s condition.”

With him saying that, Shu Lingxiao couldn’t drive Shao Shiyan away again, so she had to walk out with him.

Shao Chengxi walked to Shao Bingheng’s side, and together they watched the two figures disappear into the night. Shao Chengxi teased,

“Father has figured it out? You’ve started being Shiyan’s wingman.”

Shao Bingheng retracted his gaze and sighed lightly,

“I’ve seen through it, your brother is just like you, born a lover.”

“You two, you just have to be with someone from the Shu family.”

“It’s just that his luck isn’t as good as yours, he needs someone to help him. Don’t just watch the fun, think of a way to help your brother, you hear?”

Shao Chengxi chuckled, “I hear you. Aren’t I already helping?”

Shao Bingheng suddenly remembered something and asked,

“Recently, your great-aunt has become obsessed with some voice acting, and even said she wants to invest in a radio drama for Little Lin and his friend Gu Xiao, do you know about this?”

Shao Chengxi nodded, “I know. Just let them do what they want, as long as Shu Lin is happy, I have no objections.”

“Ew…” Shao Bingheng looked at him with disgust and left.

The next day was the fourth day of the Presidential Palace meeting.

Shao Chengxi arrived half an hour early, waiting in front of the President’s office.

With him was Shao Bingheng, the current Chairman of the Shao Group.

Seeing them, the President seemed to have expected it, his expression normal, and he led them into the office.

The three sat down according to etiquette.

President Hong Zhenyue sat behind his large, heavy desk, radiating an air of authority. He raised his eyes and looked at them.

“Minister Shao, Chairman Shao, you two have come here specifically, you must have something important to discuss. I only have a quarter of an hour, so please speak directly.”

Shao Bingheng got straight to the point, “Thank you for your generosity, Mr. President. Five minutes will be enough.”

Hong Zhenyue responded calmly, “Please speak.”

Shao Bingheng’s voice was normal:

“Presumably, Mr. President has not forgotten the chemical plant and City Central Hospital explosions last year, as well as the military conflicts in Fenghang City while cleaning up the remnants of the opposition.”

“At that time, in order to relieve the government’s difficulties, and out of national sentiment and the need to stabilize the overall situation, the Shao Group advanced a total of 47 billion Imperial currency for the aftermath of these incidents.”

“At the time, the Ministry of Finance promised to return this amount in this year’s fiscal budget.”

“Coincidentally, the Presidential Palace meeting is underway. I am here today to remind the President not to forget to resolve this matter when announcing the position of Minister of Finance.”

The anger in Hong Zhenyue’s eyes flashed, followed by a dozen seconds of silence.

When he spoke again, there was a smile on his face:

“There is indeed such a thing, but this year’s fiscal budget has already been allocated, I’m afraid…”

Shao Bingheng interrupted him lightly:

“Mr. President, 47 billion Imperial currency is not a small amount, it can’t just be said to be ‘afraid’ and then forgotten.”

“I think the newly appointed Minister of Finance will definitely have the ability to resolve this amount of money. You may wish to discuss this matter with Vice President Wu.”

Hong Zhenyue’s face changed slightly.
