Chapter 4

Life went on, and the incident of Chi Yunyi ordering a male model was over for the time being. She had to catch the high-speed train that afternoon, so she slept until around ten o'clock before getting up to pack her things.

The maximalist's room is filled with a lot of stuff. The color is cream-yellow, and there are tall shelves on the desk, which are filled with several rows of stationery. The bookcase next to the desk is filled with action figures.

The last time Chi Yunshan entered her room, she said she hadn't read any serious books since graduation, and there wasn't a single book on her bookshelf. That afternoon, Chi Yunshan brought her books like "The Ming Dynasty" and "The Prince."

Chi Yunyi said at the time: This is to make up for the cunning that she didn't develop in her childhood. Her own ancestors and foreign ancestors, with so many cunning people, how could she possibly understand them all?

Chi Yunshan comforted her and said: "If you can grow up, then grow up. If you can't grow up, then don't tell others that Chi Yunshan is your sister. You can't afford to lose face."

Chi Yunyi put "The Prince" into her travel bag. After packing everything, the driver took her to the high-speed rail station. It was early, and the train hadn't arrived yet. There were quite a few people waiting in the waiting area, and she felt embarrassed to take out her book and read it in front of so many people. So, she took a photo with her phone, then read it on her phone.

She forced herself to read a few pages, then couldn't take it anymore and started playing with her phone. Her bus was about to arrive, and Chi Yunyi lined up, checked her ticket, and found her seat. Sitting by the window was a woman with long, wavy hair, a green dress, sunglasses, and a book. Chi Yunyi's good mood plummeted.

This woman is Lu Simiao.

Why is it so fate?

Not wanting to block the people behind him, Chi Yunyi plopped down, pulled out the table, and placed the suitcase underneath. Unfortunately, the suitcase was a bit too big to fit in, so he had to put the table back. The large suitcase occupied the space where his knees should have been, leaving Chi Yunyi with nowhere to rest them, and his movements were a bit awkward.

Where Lu Simiao couldn't see, Chi Yunyi clenched her fists. Did God have to make her so reserved and embarrassed in front of someone she hated?

"Long time no see." Lu Simiao took the initiative to greet her. She flipped through the pages of her book without looking up or at Chi Yunyi. Her tone was light and airy, with a rising syllable at the end. Her every move carried an air of superiority.

Chi Yunyi nodded to indicate that she heard it.

Lu Simiao was reading a book, and Chi Yunyi suddenly lost interest in browsing her phone. She chose to close her eyes and go to sleep.

The temperature in the car was moderate and the seats were comfortable, perfect for sleeping. She fell asleep in no time. She woke up again when Lu Simiao called her.

"Your head feels heavy, don't sleep on my shoulder." She brushed his shoulder gently, brushing off the non-existent dust. "What's that smell on you?" Lu Simiao fanned the air in front of his nose, frowned slightly, sniffed carefully, and said, "It smells so milky..."

Chi Yunyi was nearly overwhelmed. She even wondered if she hadn't showered thoroughly enough last night. She hadn't done anything, yet she was being treated so badly. Anger welled up in her.

Chi Yunyi whispered, "This is my body fragrance. I was born with a fragrant body. I smell good without perfume. And your shoulders are so skinny. I won't sleep with them again. They're so painful that my head is about to be deformed. No, there won't be a next time."

Lu Simiao: “…”

"Don't talk to me when you're so emotionally unstable."

"...You think I want to? You were the one who spoke to me first." Chi Yunyi couldn't stand it anymore and clenched her fists tightly. The rustling of pages continued, and her movements were like the humming of a mosquito. Although the sound was not loud, the presence was very strong.

After a few hours' journey, Lu Simiao had already read the second half of a book.

The high-speed train arrived, finally free from her. Chi Yunyi arrived at the hotel she had booked in advance, packed her things, and cleaned herself up. She pulled out the book "The Prince" from her bag and began to study diligently. Perhaps stimulated by Lu Simiao, she was now absorbed in her reading. If Lu Simiao could read for hours on end, she could do the same.

While reading a book, Chi Yunshan called. Chi Yunshan, who had just been angry with her sister yesterday, now began to feel relieved again.

She called just to give him a heads-up. "This beauty expo is full of executives from various companies, including brand managers and product developers. It's a fantastic learning opportunity. You should seize it and make friends with experts and seniors in this field. It will be helpful for you in your future career as a manager."

"I understand, sis."

“If you have any questions, feel free to contact me.”

"hold head high."

During the break of the meeting, an unimportant leader came to the stage to speak. Chi Yunyi glanced at him casually and found that Lu Simiao was actually reciting something with a tablet, writing and drawing on the pad screen with a stylus, and reciting aloud while watching.

Chi Yunyi looked at herself and saw she was playing with her phone. Besides playing with her phone, the only work-related activity she had done was tapping on her boss's PPT.

Chi Yunyi, whose family also owned a company in the skincare industry, didn't want to fall behind. She adjusted her attitude, pulled out her prepared notebook, and wrote down the key points.

Xiang Yu's mother, Ms. Xu Chunan, whose company mainly develops automated equipment in the cosmetics field, also attended the beauty expo and spoke on stage as a representative.

Chi Yunyi's eyes lit up as she quickly flipped through the event brochure. He was the third speaker. He should have appeared before the speakers. But she was bored at the time and was secretly playing with her phone, so she didn't notice. Her seat was relatively far back, so Xiang Yu probably wouldn't have noticed her.

After he finished speaking on stage, Chi Yunyi didn't return to his seat, so he followed him. Many companies were still present at the exhibition, and many people stopped to chat. Xiang Yu was talking to a well-dressed CEO, and Chi Yunyi moved aside to listen.

Xiang Yu noticed that she had also come over and introduced her to the boss in front of him, "This is Yun Yi, CEO of Yi Fu. This is Director Zhou of Damei Technology.

After a quick greeting and receiving his business card, Xiang Yu continued chatting with Director Zhou. He seemed quite at ease. He didn't usually seem to talk much, but when it came to serious matters like this, he became especially talkative and quite humorous.

Chi Yunyi followed behind, learning their lines. Then she saw a company representative, who had a moment's free time, getting a drink of water. She wasn't sure whether to go over and have a conversation, but the representative seemed to notice her gaze and nodded. Chi Yunyi approached with a slight trepidation.

"Hello, I'm Chi Yunyi from Yi Fu, this is my business card." After the other party received it, he felt a little embarrassed for a moment. Chi Yunyi gritted her teeth and asked the other party what his main business was. Unexpectedly, the conversation turned to something that interested her, and suddenly they had a topic to talk about.

Chi Yunyi was new and had a lot of questions she didn't understand. She'd already asked everything she could think of, so she decided to just bite the bullet and get to the bottom of it. It's okay to be inexperienced, but your attitude should be good.

After Xiang Yu finished discussing cooperation with Director Zhou, he looked around for Chi Yunyi. Just as his gaze fixed on her, he was about to approach her when a figure appeared before him.

"Senior, what a coincidence."

Xiang Yu was Lu Simiao's idol during her school days. She admired the strong. A fellow HKU student, Xiang Yu started his own business during his first semester, and his company's annual profits reached over 10 billion before graduation. His legacy resonated throughout the HKU campus, influencing successive generations of students.

Xiang Yu nodded and was about to leave when Lu Simiao asked, "Senior, do you have time? I just went on stage to give a speech and I have a few questions to ask you."

He glanced at Chi Yunyi and saw that she was having a good chat with the company representative, so he agreed to Lu Simiao's request and said, "Ask."

Lu Simiao opened her pad, her notes clear and detailed, synced with the PPT, and she also made many annotations. Her questions were to the point, and Xiang Yu answered them one by one.

Meanwhile, Chi Yunyi, after a practice session, had become familiar with the process and was becoming increasingly comfortable in this situation. She met with and made friends with the company representatives outside the venue, learning more and more.

She also checked out the products on display one by one, bought them at her own expense, and experienced them from the perspective of ingredients and skin feel.

Chi Yunyi doesn't enjoy theoretical learning; she prefers practical experience. Just now, sitting in the hall listening to a representative's speech felt like a lecture, uncomfortably tight, and she'd be sleepy after just three minutes. But talking business with company representatives and experiencing the products fills her with energy, and she wishes there were more opportunities like this. She's a natural salesperson.

Chi Yunyi gained a lot, and now she felt that she could hold her head up higher in front of Lu Simiao.

Just when she was thinking of showing off in front of Lu Simiao, she turned around and saw Lu Simiao chatting enthusiastically with Xiang Yu.

Xiang Yu: "You remember it wrong."

Lu Simiao: "Why is it wrong? You, that's what you said..."

Xiang Yu: "Impossible." If he really explained it to her, it would take at least fifteen minutes, and Xiang Yu didn't want to waste that time. If she wanted to understand, then she would understand. If she didn't, then forget it. He still wanted to go find Chi Yunyi and didn't want to waste any more time with her.

Chi Yunyi stepped forward, holding a thick stack of business cards in her hand. She twisted them into a fan shape and deliberately displayed it in front of her to fan herself - without disturbing their conversation.

Chi Yunyi has this kind of personality. If she accomplishes something, she wants to let the whole world know, especially the people she hates.

Seeing that Chi Yunyi had no intention of helping, Xiang Yu took the initiative to end the topic and said to Lu Simiao, "I have something else to do today. Let's talk another day."

Chi Yunyi continued to fan him. "Brother, go back and tell me everything you said today in detail." She glanced at Lu Simiao out of the corner of her eye. "Don't tell her anything she hasn't finished listening to or learned. Unless she begs me to."

Lu Simiao: “…”
