Chapter 82 Your First Rival Has Already Been Formed Internally

Inside a private room of a Chinese restaurant.

When Qin Zhiheng took out two identical red silk scarves, Qin Shuzhi and Qi Yishan, who were sitting opposite him, both fell silent.

"Hey, what's with those expressions, you two?"

Qin Zhiheng, who was expecting praise, was displeased. "I didn't show favoritism this time. I picked the exact same ones for you, and they were finished products. You... don't like them?"

Qi Yishan reached out a finger and lifted the highly saturated dark silk scarf from the exquisite gift box. "Do you think this color... suits a youthful and beautiful fairy like us?"

Okay, okay, she knew she shouldn't have any expectations for the gifts Qin Zhiheng gave her.

Qin Zhiheng looked puzzled. "Red represents passion and vitality. Is there a problem?"

Qi Yishan: "..."

Qin Shuzhi took a deep breath, "Actually... the color is quite nice. Yi San, I remember you bought a white bag before, it should look good with this."

My younger brother doesn't understand women's fashion, yet he insists on choosing a piece that requires a lot of thought and coordination, which is quite a challenge for him.

However, the fact that he still remembered to send them gifts while on a business trip is quite touching.

"Hey, now that you mention it, it's true."

Qi Yishan immediately picked up the silk scarf and started gesturing with it, not forgetting to praise Qin Zhiheng, "Little brother, you put your heart into it this time."

Just as the two women were touched by his "thoughtfulness"—

Qin Zhiheng silently took out another small gift box that was less luxurious and more sophisticated.

He pushed the gift box in front of Qin Shuzhi, "Sister, this gift is for your husband, could you give it to him for me?"

Qin Shuzhi looked at him in surprise, "My husband has one too?"

"certainly."

Qi Yishan curiously leaned closer, "This is..."

Qin Shuzhi opened it and saw a white gold case with a blue dial wristwatch inside.

"Lang?"

“Yes,” Qin Zhiheng said. “This watch is understated and tasteful, which perfectly matches my brother-in-law’s refined and cultured temperament.”

Qi Yishan, who had just draped the scarf over her shoulder and then realized she instantly looked several years older, was speechless.

"You picked out such a meticulous and thoughtful gift for your brother-in-law, how come it's so rough when it comes to ours?"

She took off the scarf from her shoulder and accused, "You're so sexist."

Actually, Qi Yishan didn't really care about who gave whom a gift; she was just happy that someone had put thought into it.

But whenever she thought about how Qin Zhiheng had tricked her out of information with a piece of agate last time, she felt annoyed and liked to argue with him.

Qin Zhiheng didn't mind at all, and even generously admitted, "There's nothing I can do about it. My brother-in-law is my idol now. When giving a gift to an idol, you have to be very selective, right?"

Qin Shuzhi felt that his main advantage was that he and Shi Yuanxing were both men, and men understood men best, so the gifts they gave were more appropriate.

As for women, Qin Zhiheng really didn't know much about them.

Even if they carefully select for him, they probably won't find anything that suits their tastes.

However, the word "idol" puzzled Qin Shuzhi.

"When did your brother-in-law become your idol?"

“My brother-in-law helped me a lot in this matter.”

When Qin Zhiheng spoke of Shi Yuanxing, his eyes were full of admiration. "Although I did the plan myself, my brother-in-law gave me a lot of insights during the process to broaden my thinking. Moreover, he personally revised a few flawed details in the final plan, which made my plan more outstanding."

Shi Yuanxing gave him ample confidence, allowing him to perform steadily even at their headquarters, and successfully win over the Jushang review team.

Qi Yishan, "Just because of this, you've already chosen an idol?"

Qin Zhiheng glanced at her, then suddenly thought of someone else.

“My brother-in-law is very respectful of others, unlike the man surnamed Shen, who always acts arrogantly, as if he is the most capable person in the world.”

My brother-in-law is better than him in terms of both family background and ability to handle things, but he never puts on airs.

Shi Yuanxing would communicate with him on an equal footing and freely, and would give him timely advice during the conversation, telling him some experience and key points in the business world, so that he could strengthen his core and then use his abilities more powerfully to strive for what he wanted.

Hearing him compare Shi Yuanxing and Shen Yichen, Qin Shuzhi was stunned for a moment, then suddenly remembered that when Qin Zhiheng and Shen Yichen met before, they would at most exchange greetings, and their relationship was not close at all.

Now, when he talks about Shi Yuan's journey, his eyes are filled with admiration and affection.

Seeing how much Shi Yuanxing was loved by his family, Qin Shuzhi felt an indescribable joy and satisfaction.

Meanwhile, Qin Zhiheng was praising Shi Yuanxing lavishly with words of praise.

"...You weren't there that night, so you didn't see how domineering and incredibly handsome my brother-in-law was. What a pity."

Qin Shuzhi couldn't help but ask, "How handsome?"

"Let me demonstrate for you."

Qin Zhiheng stood up, cleared his throat, and mimicked the tone Shi Yuanxing had used when speaking to him in the clubhouse corridor that night, uttering that sentence—

"Go for it. Your brother-in-law will take care of everything."

Upon hearing this, Qin Shuzhi's heart skipped a beat. Shi Yuanxing had never mentioned this detail to her before.

—Your brother-in-law will always be there to protect you.

She silently recited the sentence in her heart, and a warm feeling welled up inside her.

"My brother-in-law looked so cool back then... wow, so manly."

Qin Zhiheng patted Qin Shuzhi on the shoulder and sighed, "Seriously, sister, if you hadn't married your husband, I would have wanted to marry him too."

Qin Shuzhi: "..."

Qi Yishan nearly choked on her tea. She coughed several times, and after catching her breath, she reached out and patted Qin Shuzhi's other shoulder.

"You'd better be on your guard; your first rival for love has already emerged from within."

Qin Shuzhi: "..."

You two are really something else.

However, her husband, Mr. Shi, is indeed incredibly charming, even attracting men.

Qi Yishan suddenly asked Qin Zhiheng, "Since you're such a fan of your brother-in-law, why don't you give him the gift yourself?"

"It's a bit awkward for a man to give a gift to another man. It's better to have my sister pass it on."

Qi Yishan teased him, "Oh, now you know how to be shameless. Didn't you just say you wanted to marry him?"

Qin Zhiheng picked up his phone. "Hey, the guy you asked me to send off on that blind date last time was the second young master of the Huang family, right? I think I have his number..."

Qi Yishan quickly rushed over and pressed down on his phone, "Good brother, sister was wrong."

"This doesn't look like you're admitting your mistake."

"I'll pour you a cup of hot tea." Qi Yishan quickly picked up the teapot and poured him some tea.

Zhi Bao has started working, and she might have to ask him for help again for her next blind date. She doesn't want to offend Qin Zhiheng in this matter.

"The tea is too hot."

Qi Yishan said gently, "I'll get you some warm water."

"It's bland."

Qi Yishan endured it, "Then add some more thick."

"It's too full."

"Qin Zhiheng! You should stop now."

"Young Master Huang's phone number is..."

"Okay, okay, I'll get you another one."

...

Seeing the two joking around, Qin Shuzhi laughed.
