SCHS - Chapter 3
Chapter 3
Qin Zhen hesitated for a moment, turning her head to glance at Wen Shixue, who was sitting in a relaxed and comfortable posture. If she hadn't confirmed her physical condition, she almost would have believed this "feigned strength."
At the same time, a faint unease stirred in her heart. Because her new superior seemed... not like a serious person. She began to worry about the future of the new company.
Wen Shixue's excuse was so good it choked the peeping tom, leaving him speechless for a long time, unsure how to refute her.
The hand supporting her forehead traced her hairline, gently sweeping her dark long hair behind her ear. Calmly and composedly, she said, "You already know how much harm you've caused this young lady. What you should do, I believe you understand?"
The peeping tom couldn't help but clench his hands. He looked up and scanned his surroundings. Seeing the people in police uniforms, his heart seemed to settle down. "Don't mess around, we are, we are a society ruled by law!"
Wen Shixue feigned surprise. "So you know we're a society ruled by law?"
The peeping tom felt her cold arrow pierce his heart. His face showed embarrassment, his momentum deflated again, and he didn't even have the nerve to lift his head.
Wen Shixue looked at his stubbornly lowered head, let out a detached chuckle, and turned to ask Qin Zhen, "What day of the week is it today?"
"Friday," Qin Zhen replied.
"Then tomorrow's the weekend," Wen Shixue smiled. "Lots of people on the weekend, that's good. So, tomorrow it is."
Qin Zhen was puzzled. She hadn't had much contact with Wen Shixue and didn't know her well. For a moment, she couldn't figure out her way of doing things, or perhaps... Wen Shixue was inherently someone who acted without method, wasn't quite serious, and was difficult to fathom.
She was actually very curious how such a person would manage a company. But the answer could only be revealed by the next two years.
Wen Shixue stood up and tapped the table. "I'll come find you tomorrow to help you do what you need to do. Get some good rest and build up your energy. It's settled then."
The peeping tom immediately panicked, a few drops of cold sweat instantly appearing on his forehead. "Tomorrow? What are you going to do tomorrow?!"
Wen Shixue smiled kindly. "Don't worry, I'm not like you. I'm a good citizen who knows and abides by the law."
Breaking the law for a scumbag isn't worth it.
...
Sitting in the driver's seat, Qin Zhen raised her eyes to look at the person reflected in the rearview mirror and casually asked, "What do you plan to do?"
Wen Shixue had discussed things with the police and left only after getting their agreement. Afterward, she even used her connections to check the peeping tom's criminal record, as if brewing a plan.
Wen Shixue lifted her face to look in her direction, shifted position, and leaned forward against the driver's and passenger seats, saying, "If you're interested, why don't you just come and see tomorrow?"
"I will come," Qin Zhen said calmly. "Chairman Wen asked me to stay with you more."
It was the support of Mr. and Mrs. Wen Lianchang that gave her this life free from worry about food and clothing. She remembered their kindness and would do her best to fulfill their requests.
Moreover, she would soon be working with Wen Shixue. There was no harm in learning more about her superior's temperament and habits before truly starting work.
Wen Shixue tilted her head, her fingertips resting on her temple, and looked steadily at her, saying, "You listen to my parents so well, is it just because they supported you?"
Qin Zhen nodded.
The money Mr. and Mrs. Wen Lianchang used to support her might not have seemed like much to Wen Shixue, a young lady raised in a golden cage, but for her, it was the key to changing her destiny, allowing her to receive an education with peace of mind. Furthermore, her upbringing in an environment different from ordinary children since childhood had shaped her character to value kindness and loyalty. She would forever remember this incredibly gentle act of goodwill.
Wen Shixue suddenly smiled and said, "Miss Qin is a person of feeling and loyalty." Then her gaze shifted, quietly settling on the hand she had placed on the steering wheel. She sighed in admiration, "Your hands are also very beautiful."
The joints were distinct, slender and well-proportioned, long and fair. They were truly exquisite.
As a level ten hand enthusiast, Wen Shixue wanted to get a closer look at this hand, so she couldn't resist reaching out, wanting to pull the hand closer to examine it.
But Qin Zhen avoided her. "What does Miss Wen want to do?"
Wen Shixue replied without changing her expression, "Appreciating art."
To her, such beautiful hands were certainly art!
Qin Zhen: "..."
She subtly hid her hand further down.
Wen Shixue sighed with immense regret.
Qin Zhen said, "Miss Wen and I will soon be working together in the same company. Before that, I'd like to make an agreement with Miss Wen."
She said, "For personal reasons, I am quite resistant to physical contact, whether with men or women. Therefore, I hope Miss Wen can reduce the idea of initiating contact with me in the future. I ask for Miss Wen's understanding."
Wen Shixue, still propping her head, raised an eyebrow slightly, her face full of curiosity. It wasn't that she was curious about Qin Zhen's resistance to physical contact, but rather that she was curious that she could actually encounter a plot point involving making an agreement with someone. It sounded just like the beginning of a romance between the protagonists in a love novel...
However, she quickly tossed that thought out of her mind. She wasn't the protagonist, what was she thinking about the beginning of a romance? She was someone who wanted to be beautiful on her own; love wouldn't come near her. And her and Qin Zhen... how could that be? She didn't like women!
She agreed readily and decisively. "Alright."
Qin Zhen continued, "Similarly, if Miss Wen has anything she wants to agree upon with me, you can also say so directly."
"Yes," Wen Shixue said without hesitation. "You have to make sure I keep making huge profits without any losses for these two years!"
Qin Zhen: "..."
Is that something a person can guarantee???
Wen Shixue smiled innocently. "Just kidding. How could I, being so kind, make such a harsh agreement?"
"Just help Chenfeng earn a bit more."
Chenfeng was the name of the Wen Group's jewelry brand.
Compared to the previous agreement, this one was indeed slightly kinder. Qin Zhen nodded. "I'll do my best."
Since Wen Lianchang wanted her to help Wen Shixue, she would definitely go all out and teach Wen Shixue everything she could.
...
The next morning, a little after ten, Wen Shixue brought two tall, burly bodyguards to temporarily retrieve the peeping tom from the police station. Two or three police officers also accompanied them. Qin Zhen's calm eyes watched everything, seeing with her own eyes as she dressed the peeping tom up as a girl. The peeping tom didn't dare to be angry or speak, only awkwardly tugging slightly at the long dress he was wearing. He actually looked quite presentable.
Then Wen Shixue had the two bodyguards and the police officers blend into the crowd and take the subway with the cross-dressing peeping tom.
The two of them didn't go together. Standing on the platform, they watched as the peeping tom's thin figure was swallowed by the crowd, and the subway slowly started moving. Wen Shixue crossed her arms and said, "I looked at this guy's record. It's not just peeping; he also gropes."
She had already thought of this method of punishment. Checking his record was a whim, but she didn't expect to actually find his criminal history, which made her even more determined to do this.
Qin Zhen tilted her head and slightly lowered her eyes to look at her. She continued, "I checked. There are especially many disgusting creeps who can't keep their hands to themselves on the subway during this time. It's perfect for him to experience it."
To treat him the way he treated others, letting him experience the feeling of being groped, and incidentally assisting the police in catching people – that was what she wanted to do. Moreover, with two professional bodyguards watching him, the peeping tom could only dream of running away.
For dealing with this kind of person, mere compensation is far from enough. Only by letting them experience it firsthand will they know how disgusting their actions were. It's guaranteed to sicken them so much they'll wash their hands of it!
"Disgust him to death!" Wen Shixue said.
Wen Shixue spoke seriously. As Qin Zhen watched, the corner of her lips couldn't help but curve upwards. She realized that this was a young lady who didn't have the airs of a spoiled rich girl, was kind-hearted, and also very resourceful.
At first, she had thought Wen Shixue's "revenge" would be quite brutal, like beating the person up, breaking an arm or a leg or something. But she never expected that she would use the principle of "treating others the way they treat you," delivering a psychological blow to the other party while also cooperating with the police to arrest those dishonest people.
She's a very clever young lady. Qin Zhen thought so.
Just as Wen Shixue had predicted, the peeping tom was living a life worse than death on the subway. He could clearly feel someone behind him deliberately rubbing against him, or subtly touching him. Although there was a layer of clothing between them, these malicious yet incredibly familiar touches still made him feel nervous and disgusted, like thousands of worms crawling all over him. A strong discomfort surged in his throat, making him feel so sick he wanted to vomit!
This was what he had done to women before. At the time, he had casually thought that a little touch was nothing, and that the women who screamed and accused him were being overly sensitive. Now it seemed he was the foolish one, completely foolish!
—Disgusting, utterly disgusting!
Regret filled his heart. Unable to bear it any longer, he turned around and grabbed two people, shouting angrily. The police officers, holding evidence, quickly rushed over and arrested the two on the spot.
The peeping tom was left with lingering fear. From then on, every time he thought about this incident, he would feel like vomiting, and he truly dared not offend again.
...
Wen Shixue received the video sent by the bodyguard and smiled with satisfaction. This was truly an educational video that made one feel physically and mentally pleased. She didn't forget to invite Qin Zhen to watch it with her.
Just then, a voice came from beside them. "You are... the young lady from the day before yesterday?"
Both of them turned their heads in unison. Wen Shixue's gaze sharpened—it was the male lead.
The male lead was wearing a white t-shirt with letters and black jeans. His attire was as fresh and clean as his smile. After recognizing Wen Shixue, he didn't forget to politely ask with concern, "Your head, is it alright?"
Wen Shixue held no ill will towards him, because in the original plot, the male lead had firmly rejected her from beginning to end. He hadn't strung her along or acted maliciously. He was a very kind and worthy man to associate with.
Wen Shixue also knew that he was currently running away from home to resist a family-arranged marriage and pursue his dream of being a jewelry designer. He didn't even know who his fiancée was; he only found out later in the plot when his family forced them to meet.
Wen Shixue extended her hand frankly. "We meet again. Thank you for stepping in last time. I'm fine."
The male lead politely shook her hand. "You're welcome, it was the right thing to do."
As a level ten hand enthusiast, Wen Shixue's gaze involuntarily fell upon his hand. She praised him sincerely, "Your hands are very beautiful..."
Then, changing the subject, she sighed with genuine emotion, "It's a pity not to go move bricks with them."
Qin Zhen: "...?"
Male Lead: "???"
