Chapter 44 A Sudden Influencer

Shen Shuangmiao pursed her lips, looking at the two people walking towards her, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Zhu Jin arrived in front of them in an instant.

"I think Miaomiao must have come specifically to see Mr. Zhao, who is a famous investor."

Zhou Wu spoke softly, her gaze sweeping back and forth between Shen Shuangmiao and Zhao Mobai.

"So, you've reached an agreement?"

Shen Shuangmiao took a deep breath: "No comment."

Zhu Jin glanced at her and shook hands with Zhao Mobai.

"This is Zhou Wu, Miss Zhou, who runs a design and architecture studio."

Zhou Wu took out a business card and handed it over.

Zhao Mobai smiled and took it: "Ms. Zhou is starting a business, and President Zhu is giving her his full support. What's the situation?"

His words carried a hint of sarcasm.

Zhou Wu lowered his head in embarrassment.

Zhu Jin patted Zhao Mobai on the shoulder: "The studio has just been established, but all the supporting facilities are already very mature. To be honest, it won't disappoint you."

The three of them were talking, completely ignoring Shen Shuangmiao as if she were invisible.

It would be a lie for Shen Shuangmiao not to feel bad.

All her painstaking efforts were no match for Zhu Jin's single sentence.

Shen Shuangmiao looked dejected and tried to leave silently without even saying goodbye.

But as soon as she turned around, she heard Zhao Mobai call her name.

"Miss Chen, come here."

Shen Shuangmiao paused, somewhat surprised, and hesitantly walked back to him.

"What?"

Zhao Mobai gave Zhu Jin an apologetic smile.

"I certainly can't refuse Mr. Zhu's request, but I've already agreed to invest in Ms. Shen's studio."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Wu's expression changed instantly.

Zhu Jin frowned slightly.

Shen Shuangmiao stared in astonishment, her eyes wide: "When did you agree...?"

"Alright, I still need to discuss the cooperation with Miss Shen. Let's go upstairs."

Zhao Mobai interrupted her and nodded to Zhu Jin and the other person.

"Excuse me, we'll be going now."

Zhou Wu was dumbfounded, staring blankly as they left, a hint of displeasure flashing in his eyes.

She pondered for a moment and said, "I heard that President Zhao is very cautious when selecting investment targets, not wanting to ruin his track record of successful investments. How come he made an investment on the very first meeting with Miaomiao?"

Zhu Jin remained expressionless and said calmly, "Sister Wu, what are you trying to say?"

"No, I didn't mean anything by it, it just feels a bit strange."

Zhou Wu blinked and looked at Zhu Jin.

Don't you think so?

A cold glint of anger flashed in Zhu Jin's eyes, and he turned and left without saying a word.

Zhou Wu smiled slightly and followed suit.

upstairs.

Shen Shuangmiao was still dazed when Zhao Mobai led her into the room.

She looked up at the person in front of her and couldn't help but cough lightly: "Was what you just said true or false? You didn't give Zhu Jin face by investing in his people, so why did you invest in me?"

Shen Shuangmiao suddenly realized something, "You're not using me as a shield to reject him, but actually don't want to invest at all, are you?"

Zhao Mobai sat on the sofa, holding a glass of champagne, leisurely enjoying her boisterous and ever-changing expressions, and found himself unable to look away.

He chuckled softly, without making a sound.

"I didn't expect you to be so smart. You're really quick-witted."

Zhao Mobai raised his hand and pointed to the door.

"You can leave now, thank you for your help."

Shen Shuangmiao was speechless for a moment. She never expected that the legendary Zhao Mobai would be this kind of person!

She wasn't so afraid anymore and stepped forward to snatch the wine from Zhao Mobai's hand.

“You’re using me as a shield, Zhu Jin will definitely be unhappy and target me. I can’t suffer losses on your side and then get punished by him, ending up with nothing to show for it.”

Zhao Mobai raised an eyebrow and looked up at her: "So what do you want?"

Shen Shuangmiao said confidently, "You have to invest in me, you have to become the financial backer of our studio, otherwise I won't let this go! I, I will tell Zhu Jin that you deliberately disrespected him! You don't want to break ties with the Zhu Group, do you?"

She finished speaking in one breath, her heart pounding wildly.

Shen Shuangmiao had never been so afraid before, nor had she ever been so reckless in threatening anyone.

But she had no way out.

In any case, Zhu Jin has already been made unhappy. If the studio doesn't have Zhao Mobai's protection in the future, they'll have a lot of trouble.

Besides, with Zhao Mobai investing, Zhu Jin will definitely not steal Zhou Wu's business without any scruples in the future.

Zhu Jin will feel very aggrieved if he can't get revenge on her, so he should be able to let go and divorce her soon.

Shen Shuangmiao's mind was racing with calculations, and a hint of a smile unconsciously appeared in her eyes.

Zhao Mobai took in her subtle expressions and suddenly found it amazing.

He had seen far too many people who wanted to scheme against him, but none of them were as open and honest as Shen Shuangmiao.

Especially the woman's little expressions, so vivid and cute, completely unlike the personality of someone who has been immersed in the business world for many years.

Zhao Mobai just smiled faintly, like a hunter assessing whether the prey was worth capturing.

Shen Shuangmiao felt inexplicably uneasy under his gaze.

She coughed lightly, feeling a little awkward.

"Are you even listening to me?"

Zhao Mobai snapped out of his daze and walked step by step toward Shen Shuangmiao, cupping her chin with his fingers.

Shen Shuangmiao froze, tilting her head back and looking at him nervously.

"What are you doing?"

Zhao Mobai smiled meaningfully: "Okay, I'll invest in your studio."

"What?" Shen Shuangmiao's eyes widened suddenly, thinking she had misheard.

Zhao Mobai shrugged: "I'll invest in your studio."

Shen Shuangmiao was completely taken aback by his quick agreement and stared at him speechlessly.

Seeing this, Zhao Mobai raised an eyebrow: "You don't even know how to say thank you?"

"Thank you, Mr. Zhao, you're so kind. Thank you so much, thank you so much..."

Shen Shuang's witty remarks were so incoherent that I didn't know what to say.

Zhao Mobai's smile deepened: "How are you feeling right now?"

"I'm so happy! Also, my impression of you has improved a lot." Shen Shuangmiao answered truthfully, her cheeks flushed with excitement, and she reached out her hand.

"Thank you, Mr. Zhao. I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation."

Zhao Mobai smiled.

They clasped their hands together.

Shen Shuangmiao let out a sigh of relief: "Then I'll be going now."

She handed the wine glass to Zhao Mobai, and smiled a little embarrassedly as she thought about how she had just taken the glass from him.

Zhao Mobai stared intently at her, his interest growing stronger.

"I haven't asked yet, what is your relationship with Zhu Jin? Why is he constantly targeting you?"

Shen Shuangmiao was about to leave when she heard this and stopped.

She said somewhat awkwardly, "It's nothing. Zhou Wu's studio and I are competitors, so of course he doesn't like me. Isn't that normal?"

Zhao Mobai sensed that she was hiding something and said mysteriously, "Fine, if you don't want to talk about it now, I won't force you. Anyway, there's still plenty of time."

He will gradually find out what he wants to know.
