My Underachieving Seatmate Doesn't Need Any ComfortingChapter 89

Chapter 89

Zhang Zhiyong definitely did insult the crown prince, but President Qiao knew how to keep public and private matters separate. He wouldn’t fire people out of anger. He could only look at the problem from another angle. mYuIGB

He had looked all around and what he’d found was this his son was being schemed upon.

If it weren’t for He Shen doing everything for him, would Shao Shao appear so incompetent?

If it weren’t for He Shen taking the initiative to serve him, would Shao Shao become an insufferably arrogant child?

So the root of the problem lay with this He Shen. UfNhbl

When Qiao Zongmin saw that his son was enchanted to the point that he couldn’t even think clearly anymore, he added, “Think about it. You’re not his girlfriend so why on earth would he treat you with such painstaking care?”

Qiao Shao: “……………………”

I’m definitely not his girlfriend, but I could be his boyfriend, dad!

Qiao Zongmin relied on strength and facts to push past him. “To be able to come up with such a scheme at such a young age, later on, you won’t be able to surpass him.”

LOFwcT

Qiao Shao felt very conflicted. He Shen Shen hadn’t done anything and he was already disliked by his dad. What more after he comes out with everything!

Before, Qiao Shao had been saying heaps of good things about He Shen but now it’s all gone cold. He’d also been hoping to use his summer work to continue to build up his good impression, and have Da Qiao subsidize his family. But now …

Qiao Shao couldn’t accept it and he continued to put in a good word for his boyfriend. “Dad, you’re thinking too much. Don’t try to define us from an adult’s view.”

Qiao Zongmin said, “So what if you’re minors? After 10 years old, everyone’s IQ is equal. Don’t underestimate anyone.” JseE7b

Qiao Shao added, “He’s also very good to me when we’re at school. It’s thanks to him that I can eat and drink now!”

It wouldn’t have been so bad if he hadn’t mentioned this. Once again, Qiao Zongmin got angry.

Oh, it’s not actually anger but rather distress.

Think about it … The Qiao family had worked so hard for so long but they couldn’t get Qiao Shao to eat and drink well. Why was it that once he met this He kid, Qiao Shao got better and better? gw7JQX

It was true that there was no one else who was happier than Qiao Zongmin about his son’s recovery but it was also true that he felt very distressed!

Before, he managed to maintain his composure despite the sourness in his heart. But now that he knew He Shen was a scheming brat, Comrade Qiao Zongmin couldn’t hold back this long brewing sourness.

Qiao Zongmin said, “What do you mean ‘thanks to him’? Don’t you also have Chen Su, Wei Jiayu, Song Yixu and Jie Kai?”

That’s right, Qiao Shao met quite a few classmates at East High and he’d came back to tell Qiao Zongmin all about them. zfogs4

Qiao Zongmin continued, “Don’t be like the emperor who lost his head over lust. You have to be clear-headed.” jMsrVJ

Qiao Shao: “………………”

Has he ‘lost his head over lust’? Sure enough, no one knows a son better than his father.

Slowly, Qiao Shao began to realize.

The more he praised He Shen, the angrier his dad got. The more he expressed He Shen’s importance, the more his dad disliked him … Does he have to do the opposite? qEovQ1

But he still didn’t say anything bad about He Shen. It wasn’t that he couldn’t but because there really wasn’t anything bad to say about him.

This was too difficult!

He wracked his head but still couldn’t come up with anything bad about He Shen.

Fortunately, although Da Qiao “admired and envied He Shen to the point of hatred”, he still maintained the fairness of an adult. He said, “To be that calculating at such a young age could also be considered a skill. Dad isn’t saying that he’s a bad kid, but when you look at people you have to look a bit above it all. Only then can you see the overall picture. No man is perfect, and it’s difficult to distinguish between good and evil. You only have to see how you should interact with him. ” evXxnI

Qiao Zongmin has never discussed these things to Qiao Shao before.

After that incident, their only wish was for Qiao Shao to live a healthy and happy life, nothing else.

But as he’s gotten better, Qiao Zongmin also hoped that he could have a richer, fuller life.

Even if Qiao Shao wouldn’t want to take over the Shen Hai Group in the future, Qiao Zongmin still hopes that he could be more mature. Q4seBT

His parents and family wouldn’t be able protect him his entire life. Only he himself could be his ever-lasting support.

Qiao Shao had no means whatsoever to deal with Comrade Da Qiao’s prejudices.

He couldn’t say or do anything, so he let the matter slide for the next few days.

Let him have his prejudices. After the truth is revealed, Da Qiao will fully understand what was going on … En, although he could just wind up even angrier. 0hZgvX

Throughout the summer, Qiao Shao didn’t find a way to subsidize He Shen. Later, he found he’d been trying to do something unnecessary. He Shen already had a plan.

The reason he signed up for the summer job was to scout out some private work.

Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.

After working hard for the entire summer, most of the people in R&D already acknowledged his skills.

Each department in a large company had its own jurisdiction. Some things that they don’t have time or resources to deal with will be outsourced. Many of the tasks that He Shen was assigned with were things like this. a8SyAL

Qiao Shao sincerely admired him. “No wonder you signed up for the summer job.”

For He Shen, who could earn six figures in a month, a summer job with a salary of a few thousand was really worthless.

He Shen explained to him. “That’s just one reason. I really am interested in the Shen Hai Group.”

Qiao Shao’s eyes lit up. “You do now. But what about after two more months?” 7TdBLl

He Shen said, “I really like it.”

Qiao Shao was even happier. “After graduation, would you really consider joining Shen Hai?”

He Shen smiled. “That’s six or seven years away. There’s no need to hurry.”

This was true… 6LeMm4

But the fact that He Shen liked Shen Hai made Qiao Shao very happy.

Da Qiao already doesn’t like He Shen. If He Shen also doesn’t like Da Qiao, what would he do if he got sandwiched between these two!

He Shen watched his emotions and asked, “Why do you want me to join Shen Hai so much?”

Qiao Shao told him the truth. “Of course, after all, it’s my family’s company.” LMJA9P

Anyway, He Shen wouldn’t believe it.

He Shen smiled. “Could it be that despite working in his own company for two months, no one here has recognized the young master?”

Qiao Shao said, “It’s because the department we’re assigned to is too low on the corporate ladder.”

The more He Shen heard, the less he believed it. He said, “There are still a few days before school starts. Is the young master’s homework all done?” CAvVKm

Young Master Qiao was immediately panicked.  “There’s still a lot I haven’t done yet!”

He had been so busy at work every day that he hadn’t had time to finish his homework.

Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.

He Shen asked him, “Want to come to my place to work on it tomorrow?”

Qiao Shao immediately agreed. “Okay.” kM3r51

Before they knew it, summer vacation was almost over. The blazing heat was blown away by the autumn wind, and summer gradually drifted away.

The day before the start of school, He Shen, who had been following the rules for two months, couldn’t hold back. “Stay over tonight, it will be less hassle to go to school tomorrow morning.”

Qiao Shao didn’t think much and said, “Okay, I’ll bring all my bedding in advance.”

It will also save him from Da Qiao nagging to send him off to school tomorrow. X4gD3Y

He Shen kissed him secretly, and Qiao Shao startled, “Be careful! We could be seen!”

He Shen said, “There won’t be any more chances once school starts.”

Qiao Shao went over the basic rules with him. “We definitely can’t do this in school!”

He Shen: “En.” BjgG5N

Qiao Shao emphasized: “We can’t let others see it!”

He Shen understood. “OK.”

Qiao Shao breathed a sigh of relief and in an effort to coax him said, “When we get home, we can…uh …”

Qiao Shao was kissed until his face was all flushed and he couldn’t bring himself to raise his head. “We’re out on the road!” HwK 9T

He Shen said, “There’s no one around.”

Qiao Shao was extremely cautious. “It’s still not allowed!”

When he finished speaking, He Shen’s cell phone suddenly rang.

He Shen stepped aside for a bit and answered the call. At first, the corner of his mouth was raised but as he listened his mouth tightened into a line. uQWFSs

After hanging up the phone, he said to Qiao Shao, “You go home first, I have something to do.”

Qiao Shao saw in his expression that something was wrong and he asked, “What’s wrong?”

He Shen thought for a while and said, “Lou Xiao got into a fight and was taken to the police station.”

Qiao Shao was startled and asked quickly. “School’s starting soon, he …” zCdWEs

He Shen opened a cab-hailing app and said, “I’ll go and see the situation. You should go back first.”

How could Qiao Shao not worry? He quickly said, “I’ll go with you.”

  1. Comrade Qiao’s fatherly senses are tingling not his business senses! He can tell a pig coming to eat his family’s cabbage~!

    Shen Shen’s phone call is about his dumb family huh? I hope he can cast them off soon, lest they interfere more with out baobei’s lovey dovey time >^<

    Thanks for the chapter~

    • What daddy doesn’t expect is that his family’s dainty little cabbage is very happy to be eaten by the pig. He’ll probably faint from anger when he finds out how the pig ‘successfully tricked his little cabbage to sneak out of the cabbage patch to be eaten’. I just hope there won’t be any pork dishes served on the next day.

  2. Gosh I love these “Shao Shao openly bragging and He Shen thinking it’s BS” bits hahahahaha XDD thanks for the chapter~
