I met my whole family through Baidu Tieba.

Chapter 157 My brother relies entirely on his handsome face to build relationships

Seeing Fang Shiqi's expression, Su Qianming felt increasingly uncomfortable and couldn't help but speak up, saying, "Nobody lost, everyone won and got benefits, so who lost? Did you conjure these benefits out of thin air?"

Shen Kang glanced at this man, somewhat puzzled: Wasn't this man quite friendly to him before? Why does his tone sound so hostile now?

However, he did respond: "This is the benefit of technological development; it allows resources to be allocated more efficiently, so everyone benefits."

Su Qianming wanted to continue to disagree, but he couldn't think of a way to do so, so he had to shut up for the time being.

After waiting outside for a while, the water inside had mostly drained, so everyone went back inside and started working again. They tidied up Grandma Li's haphazardly placed electrical appliances, and the two home improvement workers also inspected and repaired the sockets and wiring.

Afterwards, everyone helped Grandma Li tidy up all the clutter in her house.

After the two Anjia employees finished their work at Grandma Li's house, Shen Kang took them downstairs for a walk around the homes of all the elderly people that Nuanyang Society had visited. They checked all the safety hazards, repaired what could be repaired, and called for reinforcements for what the two of them couldn't handle.

Today's housekeeping services will naturally not be paid for by the employees without their money; Shen Kang will foot the bill.

Finally, around 4 a.m., the Warm Sunshine Society's activities came to an end.

After letting the An family leave, Shen Kang went back to find Yin Mingyang. He found that the boy and Huang Jing seemed to be making good progress. When he left with Yin Mingyang, the boy was humming a lewd tune, looking very pleased with himself.

The two then took a taxi and left.

Instead of taking a taxi, Huang Jing and Fang Shiqi walked slowly together on the road.

Su Qianming originally wanted to follow, but Fang Shiqi chased him away, saying that they had girls to talk about and it was inconvenient for a boy like him to be there.

Although Huang Jing wasn't humming any lewd tunes, she seemed quite happy and told Fang Shiqi some small pieces of evidence that she thought Yin Mingyang also liked her.

They also talked about Shen Kang. Huang Jing felt that having a capable and good friend like Shen Kang was a plus for Yin Mingyang, making his future prospects much brighter than others, so she increasingly thought Yin Mingyang was a very good person.

Huang Jing then tried to persuade Fang Shiqi: "—Actually, Shen Kang is a pretty good person. He disappeared as soon as he went to the orphanage yesterday. He probably had something to do, maybe he was discussing specific charity matters with the people at the orphanage?"

After all, you saw it today; he owns a company.

Huang Jing felt that if she and Yin Mingyang got together in the future, Fang Shiqi, as her good friend, and Shen Kang, as Yin Mingyang's good brother, would inevitably see each other frequently. If Fang Shiqi continued to dislike Shen Kang and their relationship was strained, it might even affect her relationship with Yin Mingyang.

Therefore, Huang Jing felt it was necessary to ease the tension between the two—of course, the main issue right now was that Fang Shiqi disliked Shen Kang, so it would be fine as long as Fang Shiqi's side was appeased.

After listening to Huang Jing's words, Fang Shiqi hummed in agreement and said, "He probably really had something to do yesterday, which is why he disappeared for half a day."

Upon hearing this, Huang Jing was overjoyed to find that her persuasion had actually worked, and quickly added fuel to the fire: "And today, if he hadn't discovered it early and decisively let us out first, we might have been in trouble. In that sense, he's our savior."

Fang Shiqi hummed in agreement. "That's true."

As she spoke, she thought back to the past:

When Fang Shiqi discovered the electrical leak in Grandma Li's house, her heart skipped a beat, and her mind went blank for a moment. She only came to her senses afterward, filled with lingering fear.

Then came gratitude towards Shen Kang: If Shen Kang hadn't acted decisively and immediately brought them all out, I might have been in trouble today!

Her opinion of Shen Kang completely changed after this.

Although Shen Kang has some minor flaws, such as being lazy, he is reliable in crucial moments—especially with Su Qianming by his side as a comparison.

When the incident occurred, Su Qianming could only be at a loss and say blankly, "Yes, what should we do?", while Shen Kang decisively rushed in, took Grandma Li away, and forced everyone to leave. The difference in their abilities was immediately apparent.

When Fang Shiqi recalled that moment, Shen Kang was just too manly, so manly that she couldn't help but feel a flutter in her heart when she thought about it.

So Fang Shiqi wanted to thank Shen Kang at that moment, and if possible, she also wanted to have further contact and development.

But before she could even speak, the two Anjia employees arrived and addressed Shen Kang as "General Manager Shen." Later, Fang Shiqi also learned from Huang Jing that Shen Kang was the owner of Anjia's housekeeping business.

Fang Shiqi finally understood where Shen Kang's imposing manner came from. It turned out that he was not only an ordinary college student, but also the CEO of Anjia Household Services! No wonder he had such an imposing manner, and no wonder he was so mature and manly.

Then, Fang Shiqi saw Shen Kang speaking eloquently to Xing Zhigao, pointing out the immaturity of Xing Zhigao's proposal with reason and evidence, and then presenting his own solution.

Fang Shiqi couldn't even remember what Shen Kang said at the time. Now, when she thought back, all she could remember was Shen Kang's confident, composed, mature, and slow-paced manner. He was so stylish! This made her already fluttering heart beat even faster and faster, her heart pounding wildly.

After talking with Huang Jing all the way, the two parted ways at an intersection and went their separate ways home.

Fang Shiqi's home is in a mid-to-high-end residential area, about 100 square meters in size. The decoration is not luxurious, but it is very elegant.

Fang's mother was at home. Not long after Fang Shiqi entered the house, she noticed her daughter's unusual behavior; she seemed to be in a very bad mood—

Okay, and not just in a normal way, but with a feeling of romantic longing.

Since Fang Shiqi is also a college student, if she really has someone she likes, the couple doesn't object, but they can't help but be a little curious.

So, during dinner, Mr. Fang subtly asked, "Didn't you go out to play with your classmates today, Qiqi?"

"I've gone. The Nuanyang Society has an event this afternoon to visit and comfort elderly people living alone."

Mr. Fang nodded: "It's good to do more charity work. Were all the people from your Warm Sunshine Society there?"

Fang Shiqi, without suspecting anything, swallowed the bok choy she had just bitten into and said directly, "No, two friends I just met also went along."

Upon hearing this, Mr. Fang exchanged a glance with Mrs. Fang, who was standing beside him, and they both felt that this was the one.

Then, in a casual tone, Mr. Fang asked, "A friend you just met? How did you meet?"

"I met Yin Mingyang and Shen Kang yesterday when I was doing volunteer work at the welfare home —" Fang Shiqi briefly explained.

Mr. Fang could tell at a glance that his daughter's expression was a little off when she mentioned "Shen Kang." Her eyes were curved, as if she was savoring the memory of eating candy.

This made the old father a little uncomfortable, feeling a sense of frustration, like his precious cabbage, which he had raised with great difficulty, had been eaten by a pig. However, he also knew in his heart that girls grow up and have no choice but to grow up, so he suppressed his discomfort and asked curiously, "It's quite a coincidence that one of your two newly acquainted friends, named Shen Kang, has the exact same name as the boss of a company in Yangcheng."

Mr. Fang admired his own quick wit in using this reason to steer the conversation toward the person his daughter seemed to like.

To Fang's father's utter surprise, Fang Shiqi looked up at him in astonishment, "Dad, you know Shen Kang too?"

Mr. Fang smiled and said, "Of course I don't know your friend. I only know that there is a company in Yangcheng called Anjia, and their boss is also named Shen Kang."

Fang Shiqi's expression was a little strange: "Dad, what I really wanted to ask was, do you also know that the owner of the An family is named Shen Kang?"

Now it was Mr. Fang's turn to be puzzled: "Hmm. What's wrong?"

Because of his work, he had some understanding of Anjia Company.

Then he heard from his daughter why her expression was so strange.

"The friend I just met, named Shen Kang, is the boss of Anjia, Shen Kang."

"Didn't you say that your friend Shen Kang is a college student?" Mr. Fang couldn't help but ask.

"Yes, he's a college student too—" Fang Shiqi then recounted what she had heard from Huang Jing about Shen Kang's summer entrepreneurship.

Fang's mother remained silent, simply eating her meal and watching her husband fight with their daughter.

At this moment, seeing the proud expression on her daughter's face when she talked about Shen Kang, she became even more certain that her daughter had taken a liking to the young man named Shen Kang, or more accurately, that her daughter was completely captivated by him.

After hearing his daughter's story, Mr. Fang put down his chopsticks, his expression one of astonishment: "She's a genius!"

Fang's mother rolled her eyes at him and finally spoke up: "There aren't that many geniuses."

Mr. Fang smiled awkwardly, knowing that his wife had seen through his deliberate praise of the boy in an attempt to please his daughter.

Although he praised him a bit too much, he secretly agreed that Shen Kang was a talented person.

The family continued eating and chatting, and the conversation mostly revolved around Shen Kang—their daughter became particularly talkative whenever Shen Kang was mentioned.

After finishing her meal, Fang Shiqi went back to her room to go online.

Fang's mother and father were sitting in the living room watching TV, whispering about Shen Kang: "Old Fang, how much do you know about that Shen Kang? What's his character like?"

Mr. Fang was both amused and exasperated: "I'd only heard his name through work, but I'd never even met him. If Qiqi hadn't mentioned him today, I wouldn't even have known he was a college student. How would I know what kind of person he is?"

Fang's mother was a little dissatisfied, but then she came up with another idea: "Why don't you find an excuse to go and make contact with him? Anyway, he owns a company, which is related to your field. You can go to his company to investigate and make contact, and see what kind of person Shen Kang is."

Mr. Fang scolded, "Nonsense!"

Seeing this, Fang's mother fell silent. Although her husband usually listened to her on many small matters, she didn't dare to give orders when it came to serious matters.

Mr. Fang glanced at her and softened his tone: "Besides, you can't judge a person's character after just one or two encounters. Especially in business, you can only know a person's face, not their heart—"

As he spoke, Mr. Fang thought for a moment, then changed the subject: "However, it is necessary to make some contact."

Recently, new policies have been issued from above, and one part of them concerns the domestic service industry.

Although Anjia, as a newly established housekeeping company in Yangcheng, has not yet registered with the Department of Commerce or joined the Yangcheng Housekeeping Service Network Center, it is its duty to provide necessary information and proactively offer services to these promising companies.

Only when they provide good service can Yangcheng's business environment improve.

The next morning, Shen Kang was awakened by a noise.

After leaving the bedroom, he followed the sound and found that it was coming from the kitchen. He Qiuzhu was wearing an apron and cooking, with Aunt Zhang giving her instructions.

He Qiuzhu was frying eggs, very focused, her eyes fixed on the pan, her right hand holding a spatula, motionless like a statue, and she didn't even notice him coming over.

Shen Kang was puzzled when he saw this. Was it really necessary to be so focused when frying an egg? Wasn't it something you could do with your hands?

"Young Master Shen." Aunt Zhang greeted him as he approached.

"Is she frying eggs?" Shen Kang asked a pointless question.

Aunt Zhang: "Yes. Miss He asked me to teach her how to make breakfast, so I started with the simplest things—"

He Qiuzhu heard the sound and knew that Shen Kang had arrived. "Shen Kang, go and wait for a while. Breakfast will be ready soon." As she spoke, she didn't turn her head, but just stared at the pot, her right hand still motionless.

Shen Kang then washed up and sat down in the restaurant to wait.

After waiting for a while, breakfast was served. Shen Kang glanced at it and thought it looked pretty good: eggs with black edges, sausages with black edges, and a bowl of rice.

"You cooked rice this morning too?" Shen Kang found it a bit strange.

"—This is porridge, Young Master Shen."

Aunt Zhang felt a little sorry for her, but she still offered an explanation from the side.

He Qiuzhu, who had been standing to the side with an expectant expression, was struck dumb. She collapsed weakly onto the table, not with her hands on the table, but with her small head resting on it, as if she only had one head. Her expression was one of utter dejection.

"—I was just joking, what do you think? Isn't it funny?"

Shen Kang added a comment, then looked at He Qiuzhu's dejected little head and thought she was actually quite cute like this.

Then, she started eating too, praising how delicious it was, which finally made He Qiuzhu less disappointed.

Just as Shen Kang was halfway through eating the bowl of rice called "porridge," his phone rang. He picked it up and saw that it was Kang Zhengyang calling.

As soon as the call connected, Kang Zhengyang's voice came from the other end: "Boss, the provincial government has notified you to go there today."
