My Life with Narration-Chapter 256 - 255: Stalking

[Xu Feng, who ran nine seconds and fifty-eight, failed to regain his dignity and was verbally provoked by his mate, which severely insulted his character, leading to their first rift.]

The next day when Su Qing opened her eyes, there was a narration in her head. It was good news, quite nice; it seemed her words yesterday had worked.

Who cares if he’s uncomfortable, as long as she’s happy. She even hummed a tune while making breakfast.

"Oh my dear, living in this village, I was born and raised here... Holy crap, why does opening the door make no sound? Gave me a fright!"

Just as he was singing with great enthusiasm, Shen Yi appeared in front of the kitchen’s glass door with her hair disheveled. If it were nighttime, he would have thrown the pot in his hand.

Unlike Wang Xing, who’s rather thick-skinned, he himself is quite afraid of ghosts. Despite being a young man raised under the red flag and in the spring breeze, he’s naturally afraid of spooky stuff.

Even though he knows it’s all fake, he’s still scared watching horror movies. When he’s in haunted houses or escape rooms, he’s the one being chased around by NPCs.

Shen Yi with her messy hair looks quite like a ghost from a horror movie at first glance, just missing a blood-stained nightgown.

"If you haven’t done anything wrong, you’re not afraid of ghosts knocking at the door. With your reaction, could it be you’ve done something guilty?" Shen Yi brushed her hair and peeked inside the kitchen to see what he was cooking for breakfast, speaking quite naturally.

Now that she’s here to mooch a meal, she feels quite at home.

"Big Yellow, Big Yellow, someone’s here, go, bite her, what are you staring at, can’t even watch the door?" Su Qing shouted towards the living room.

Sure enough, upon hearing her name, Big Yellow in the living room poked her head out of the doghouse, saw it was Shen Yi, and withdrew her head again.

In her small dog brain, Shen Yi is definitely not someone to mess with, kind of like Mom, Zhou Hui.

In theory, a beauty like this, Big Yellow should have run up to lick, but every time she tries to lick Shen Yi, she’s met with a swift kick, seemingly unaffected by her silly, cute appearance, so she’s a bit intimidated.

"You useless thing, might as well have a dog!" Su Qing scolded.

Big Yellow: "Woof" [What separates you from a dog?]

"I’ll strangle you!"

Seeing the knife hovering above her dog head, Big Yellow bared her teeth at Shen Yi, looking quite fierce. Seeing this, Su Qing nodded in satisfaction: "That’s right, next time she comes, you make this face, got it!"

Shen Yi: ...

Looking at someone threatening a dog with a knife and the threatened Big Yellow, she felt no disturbance in her heart, might even find it a bit funny.

Even now, she doesn’t know how the man and the dog communicate. From her perspective, their exchange led Su Qing to explode, quite a bizarre scene.

"Why just buns and pickles, nothing else?" Shen Yi asked, looking at the breakfast on the table.

Su Qing: "Why don’t you do it?"

"Hmm, buns are fine, not bad!"

Su Qing: ...

Sure enough, hearing "if you can, you do it," even Boss Shen retreated, after all, who complains when mooching a meal?

"How’d your talk with Sister Wen go yesterday?" Su Qing asked.

Last night when the two returned, it was already quite late, but Shen Yi still went to the landlady’s house to discuss strategies. Coincidentally, Tang Nan was also there, and the three stakeholders reached an agreement easily since it involved their own interests.

In Jiang City, when things come up, you still have to find the local big shots.

"She agreed, said she’d call her brother to help investigate. If it’s really as you say, once his company collapses, the relevant departments will certainly step in to rectify things. To preserve even a breath of vitality, he must sell assets urgently to plug the hole. By then, I might be able to press down the price, you’re really devious!" Shen Yi laughed.

Compared to Shen Yi’s business acumen, the ideas he came up with seemed rather small-minded, even a bit sleazy. But anyway, who cares if it’s not elegant, a solution that works is a good solution.

Yesterday in the car he proposed a few directions to Shen Yi regarding Xu Feng’s company’s finances, taxes, liquidity, even whether the actual factories were up to safety standards.

No need to mention others, after hearing the narration, he knew clearly that many parts of Xu Feng’s factories were not up to safety and fire standards, and these could certainly give him some trouble. In short, use whatever method you can think of to nauseate him.

For this matter, Shen Yi had no other solution; she could only seek out the landlady. With Wen Nanqing’s family’s connections, as long as Xu Feng really had issues, this shouldn’t be difficult to achieve.

But this alone was not enough; he still needed external help.

"We’ll see, what you need to do now is to gather what you need through other channels, and see if you can negotiate with your clients to delay matters. I don’t really have any advice to offer," Su Qing remarked with a sidelong glance at her, feeling helpless.

Due to his limitations of vision, even though he knew some things through the narration, he lacks a corresponding solution.

"No need for you to say, I’m already working on it. It’s a rare weekend, and I still have to work overtime, it’s exhausting," Shen Yi poked at the buns with chopsticks, seeming somewhat exasperated, but when she looked at him, she sized him up and down.

"What are you doing, speak if there’s something, don’t look at me like that, quite creepy!" Su Qing felt a chill in the air and asked.

"Nothing, just realized, I thought I already knew you very well, but now it seems there’s still a lot about you I don’t know," Shen Yi chuckled lightly.

"Like what?"

"Like how you’re so certain Xu Feng is already a spent force, with his cash flow in trouble. Also, about Sister Qing’s ex-husband last time, it’s like you know everything." Shen Yi’s intuition was undoubtedly sharp; coupled with her understanding of him, naturally, she had doubts.

If Su Qing were a big shot, that could explain it, but now, she really couldn’t figure out his source of information.

"I told you, it’s just a gamble, nothing to lose anyway, right?" Su Qing replied unhurriedly.

"Fine, don’t want to say, that’s alright. By the way, want to go to a concert tonight?" Saying this, Shen Yi took out two concert tickets, naturally brought back by Tang Nan, and the seats were quite good.

"Forget it, not interested!"

"Great minds think alike, I’ll give them away then!"

After breakfast, Shen Yi checked the time and left. Even though it’s the weekend, with issues at the company, she still had to deal with them.

Meanwhile, Su Qing turned his attention to Xu Feng, needing to do something about him.

Today Jiangcheng City was bustling with activity, the stadium hosting a concert with many fans responding to the call. As for Tang Nan, she naturally headed over early.

Su Qing, on the other hand, went opposite a star-rated hotel in West City, waiting patiently for the target to appear.

Soon, a man and a woman walked out of the hotel, none other than Xu Feng and his girlfriend. Watching Xu Feng send the woman off in a car and then drive in another direction, Su Qing couldn’t help but smile and called for a taxi to follow.

An accomplished single man naturally wouldn’t have just one woman. From yesterday’s meeting, he even knew where Xu Feng’s kept women lived; narration was indeed a useful thing.

The only thing he could do now was figure out a way to let that woman see something.

Dog-eat-dog drama never gets old.
