"Big brother..."
During the routine break time, He Qianjian approached the prison guard under the observation tower, with two more bruises on his cheeks, full of anticipation.
The prison guard saw him limping over and couldn't help feeling pity when he thought of the phone call that day: "Did you remember the wrong number? I called, but the person who answered the phone said they didn't know you."
He Qianjian's eyes suddenly changed. He quickly suppressed his ugly expression and forced a smile: "I gave you two numbers, did you call them both?"
The prison guard sighed softly in his heart, "They were both hung up, it was the same person who picked them up."
As soon as these words came out, He Qianjian's ugly expression became difficult to conceal. He already knew what the prison guard meant.
"Although..." He Qianjian gave a wry smile, paused, lowered his head a little, and said with a trembling voice, "Thank you anyway."
The prison guard had a brother He Qianjian's age, who was about the same height and build, so he was extra soft-hearted towards him. Seeing him like this, he thought about what happened last night when he came here today and heard from his colleague who took over the shift. He couldn't help but say: "I'm off in two days. Then I'll go to the place you mentioned. I'll see that couple face to face and talk to them about it. Maybe they have changed their numbers."
He Qianjian looked up suddenly, with disbelief and gratitude written all over his face, "Really?"
The prison guard smiled and said, "Really."
He Qianjian thanked him but did not leave immediately. The prison guard asked: "Is there anything else?"
"I..." He Qianjian hesitated to speak.
The prison guard thought about his awkward walking posture just now and the rumors he heard from his colleagues, and pursed his lips: "If there is anything else you want me to help with, I will try my best to help you if I can."
He Qianjian seemed to be holding back his shame, and his voice came out of his throat little by little: "Can I change my cell?"
The prison guard did not answer immediately. Changing cells was not something he, a junior prison guard, could decide, but he knew how He Qianjian got along with the people in that cell. Although his life would not be in danger, if a perfectly fine boy living in it really stayed like this for three years, he might be ruined when he finally does leave.
But even if he knew what was going on, he couldn't guarantee he would be able to help.
"I'll try my best to help you."
He Qianjian: "Thank you."
After He Qianjian left, another prison guard came over and asked, "What did you just say to No. 149?"
"It's nothing." The prison guard said, "He wants to change cells."
Another prison guard sneered: "Does he really think that he is still the eldest son of the He family, or is he treating this place as a hotel? That he thinks he can change if he wants?"
The prison guard pursed his lips: "He is only in his early twenties, and He Hai has that kind of taste. If we lock them together, when he does go out, I'm afraid..."
Another prison guard knew what he meant, but he didn't take it seriously: "Why do you think there are empty beds in other cells, yet He Qianjian still went to No. 14? Don't meddle in other people's business, or you will get into trouble."
The prison guard was stunned: "You mean someone deliberately wants to...?"
"At least you're not too stupid." Another prison guard approached him and lowered his voice: "When He Qianjian was still the eldest young master, he offended countless people. From what I heard, there were already three people who came here to say hello. If the He family hadn't made their position clear yet and no one dared to touch him for the time being, He Qianjian would be in No. 3 instead of No. 14."
The prison guard thought of what He Qianjian had told him before, and couldn't help but think of a possibility: "Is it the real eldest son of the He family, the one named Jiang Chen, who made the request?"
Another prison guard shook his head: "No, it's not like you don't know the ways of the He family, how could he come to make a request like this? Although they mentioned before not letting him get too close to the duty room, they didn't specify where to put him. Someone else pushed for the 14th."
"Who?"
The other prison guard refused to say anything more. He patted his new colleague who had just arrived here not long ago and said seriously: "I am telling you so much to warn you that when doing things here, just follow the rules. To mind your own business, especially the business of those who live here.”
Seeing that his new colleague looked disapproving, he shook his head inwardly. Thinking of the mistakes he had made impulsively when he was young, he added one more thing, "Those who come in here are those who have been clearly judged by the court. If you pick out anyone here at random, they would all be bolder and smarter than you, so think about it carefully."
After saying this, he left.
The prison guard frowned. For a moment, he felt that the senior's warning was definitely not without purpose. Then for another moment, he felt that He Qianjian was also not lying. After thinking about it, he decided that no matter what, helping He Qianjian find his biological parents would not have any impact.

The content of the new document still needed to be analyzed, but after testing, the home edition of Changjiang was ready to be put on the market.
Jiang Chen traveled between the Military Research Institute and the company. He went back to school to take a few classes before the midterm, and then took the exams. The enthusiasm brought by the military training had gradually dissipated. Although Jiang Chen's appearance would still cause a stir within the department, no one was crowding in to see him anymore.
On the company side, Shen Xu and Huo Bo have not been idle either during this period. The company had just started, and everything needed to be done by themselves. The two have lived up to their good talents. The former closed a deal with two big businesses, and when marketing was not common at this time, publicity started advertising before the Changjiang Home Edition was even launched. There was already a sign of the smiling tiger with keen eyesight in the business field from the previous life. The latter, in the case when he was unable to contact Jiang Chen, made several major decisions for the company, and every step proved that his judgment was correct.
With everyone's concerted efforts, Jiang Chen didn't feel tired even though he was so busy.
June had arrived in a flash, and Jiang Chen's freshman courses were about to end. The listing of Changjiang had also attracted a lot of attention and expectations due to multi-party marketing.
After the final exam, Jiang Chen could finally breathe a sigh of relief and take a good rest for a few days. At Shen Xu's suggestion, Jiang Chen went to the company and treated a total of 27 people from the company to dinner together.
Many people in the company met Jiang Chen for the first time at the dinner gathering. They knew that there were three bosses in the company, and the three were close friends in age. However, after working in the company for nearly a year, most people had met Shen Xu and Huo Bo, but not Jiang Chen.
When Jiang Chen went to the company, something funny happened.
The new receptionist had never seen him before, so she blocked him from entering and asked him dutifully who he was looking for. At that time, Jiang Chen didn't react and said he was looking for Shen Xu and Huo Bo. When the receptionist heard that he was actually looking for the two bosses, she quickly corrected her attitude and asked him if he had an appointment.
Naturally, there was no appointment. Jiang Chen now also heard the reason for being blocked from entering in these words, and was a little bit dumbfounded.
Before he could explain, the receptionist said righteously: "Even if you are very good-looking, our company has regulations and you cannot come in or out at will without an appointment. Especially to meet the two managers, you must make an appointment."
That firm look that was not moved by male beauty made Shen Xu, who knew Jiang Chen would come and came out early to take a look and heard such words, laugh out loud. Before the girl at the front desk could react, she saw their Manager Shen hook an arm over the boy's neck and say to him with a smile: "This is the biggest boss in our company, Mr. Jiang, so it's not against the rules for you to be lured by his beauty."
The girl at the front desk blushed and didn't dare to look at Jiang Chen even at the dinner party. In fact, she wished nothing more than to bury under the table and hide.
After the dinner party ended, Shen Xu was still talking about this matter to Huo Bo, holding his stomach and laughing.
"That's enough." Jiang Chen lightly kicked him, "It's over now."
"It's not over." Shen Xu dodged, with a teasing expression: "She blushes when she sees you. I think she is definitely interested in you. Anyway, you are either busy in the laboratory, company or in school every day, and you don't have much contact with girls. You better buckle up, don’t let Huo Bo and I get married and you still haven't found a girlfriend.”
Huo Bo glanced at him and said coldly: "I'm not looking a girlfriend, so don't include me with you."
Jiang Chen shrugged: "I'm not looking for a girlfriend either."
Shen Xu rolled his eyes: "How boring, two workaholics."
Jiang Chen added: "I will never find a girlfriend in this life."
Shen Xu only thought he was joking, so he turned around and teased: "Is it because the girl saw you and blushed just now?"
"No." Jiang Chen pursed his lips and smiled, his eyes clear: "Because I have someone I like, and we are already together."
Shen Xu's eyes widened, and Huo Bo also paused.
"When!" Shen Xu jumped up and said, "Who is it? Have I seen her? From school? From your department? What does she look like?"
A series of questions seemed to come in a barrage, and Jiang Chen answered one by one with a smile: "We just confirmed our relationship not long ago. You have seen them before. They are not from our school. They are very good-looking."
"Is it someone from the laboratory?" Shen Xu hissed, thought for a few seconds, and was really worried about him: "Didn't you say that even the youngest ones at the Military Research Institute are at least in their thirties? Isn't that at least nine or ten years older, could Uncle and Aunt Jiang agree to such a big age gap?"
"They're not thirty yet, twenty-six." After Jiang Chen finished speaking, he thought for a moment and said slowly: "But it may be difficult to get my parents to agree. I am telling you guys now so that when the time comes, we will unite our front and fight a protracted war. You two have to help me convince them."
Without even thinking about it, Shen Xu raised his chin and patted his chest: "That's of course. For your happiness, brother, I will definitely do this for you."
Huo Bo was thoughtful, looked at Jiang Chen for a while, and suddenly said: "You said we know each other, who is it?"
Jiang Chen bent his eyes and slowly said a name.
Shen Xu's volume suddenly soared: "Who?!"
Jiang Chen repeated: "Shi Fengyue."
"What the hell, isn't he a guy?" Shen Xu paused and asked Huo Bo with a suspicious look on his face: "Don't we know someone with the same pronunciation as Shi Fengyue? A girl in our school, in the management department.”
Huo Bo glanced at him and looked at Jiang Chen: "Are you sure?"
Jiang Chen stopped laughing and nodded seriously: "Sure."
Shen Xu couldn't believe it: "Are you really talking about Shi Fengyue? The Shi Fengyue I know who is a doctor?"
Seeing Jiang Chen nod, Shen Xu grabbed him and said, "Are you crazy?"
Jiang Chen: "If you can't accept it for the time being, I can give you time, but I don't want this to affect our friendship."
Shen Xu paused, gritted his teeth and said: "Shi Fengyue is nothing, how could it affect our friendship? Even if you find a gorilla, it won't affect our friendship."
"That's good." Jiang Chen smiled slightly: "Thank you for understanding."
