But to play along with Qi Jincheng, she could only feign surprise and ask, "Really?"

"Yes." Qi Jincheng nodded with a reassuring look in his eyes.

Jun Shu quickly replied with a smile, "That's truly fate."

Qi Jincheng continued, "She will take over the Jinghua family in three years at the latest. She has worked very hard and endured a lot of hardship to be a good successor."

"And she's also very strong-willed and doesn't want me to help her too much." He paused intentionally before continuing, "I think Mr. Jun is very similar to her in this respect."

Having said all he wanted to say, Jun Shu probably understood what he meant. She said knowingly, "Mr. Qi, as long as Mrs. Qi doesn't mind, I think we can become like-minded friends."

Qi Jincheng was satisfied with her answer and nodded slightly, saying, "I will arrange the remaining funds as soon as possible."

"Thank you very much, President Qi." Jun Shu quickly stood up and bowed deeply to her in gratitude.

Qi Jincheng didn't say anything more, and Jun Shu tactfully left on her own.

Dihua Group parking lot.

Junlin was anxiously waiting for Junshu in the car. When he saw her come out of the company, he quickly got out of the car to greet her and asked, "Sister, how did it go?"

"I guess we've reached an agreement." Jun Shu breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Junlin asked again urgently, "When will the rest of the money arrive?"

“He said he would arrange it as soon as possible, but…” Jun Shu hesitated.

Junlin was getting impatient when he saw her only speak halfway through her sentence. "But what?"

Jun Shu's expression was somewhat serious. Seeing this, Jun Lin couldn't help but think in that direction and blurted out, "He didn't make any unreasonable demands on you, did he?"

Before Jun Shu could respond, he quickly grabbed her hand and said firmly, "Sister, I will never allow you to make such a sacrifice for the company."

"What are you thinking about?" Jun Shu shook off his hand speechlessly and said to him patiently, "President Qi only has one person in his eyes and heart. The request he made to me was that he hoped I could help Mrs. Qi."

"Help Mrs. Qi?" Junlin didn't understand her meaning at all.

Jun Shu wasn't entirely sure if she had feelings for Qi Jincheng, but she figured there was no other possibility.

She composed herself and said slowly, "You should know that Mrs. Qi is the heir to the Jinghua family, but she is currently a sophomore in college. I think she will inherit the Jinghua family after she graduates."

"Mrs. Qi is a college student?" Jun Lin looked at Jun Shu in disbelief.

Jun Shu gave him an affirmative answer, "Yes."

After slowly processing this, Junlin asked her in surprise, "So, sister, you mean Qi Jincheng married a college student?"

Jun Shu didn't find it surprising that Qi Jincheng married a college student. Although she was somewhat surprised when she learned that Mrs. Qi was a student, it wasn't because of the age difference between her and Qi Jincheng.

Perhaps in her mind, a woman who could stand with a man like Qi Jincheng would not be an ordinary person, so she would not associate her with a student.

Jun Shu gave him an affirmative answer with her eyes, but Jun Lin seemed to find it extremely difficult to accept this fact. "Qi Jincheng is almost thirty, right? That would definitely be an old man and a young woman."

“None of that matters.” Jun Shu paused for a moment, deliberately whetting Jun Lin’s appetite, before continuing, “I’ll tell you, Mrs. Qi and Jiu Ge are classmates.”

"They are not only classmates, but also have a very good relationship," Jun Shu added.

Jun Lin's eyes widened suddenly, and he said indignantly, "How could she become friends with that taciturn Jun Jiuge? Isn't she afraid of being bored to death?"

"Jun Lin, you're not allowed to talk about Jiu Ge like that." Jun Shu immediately reprimanded him when she heard him speak of Jun Jiu Ge like that.

Junlin looked unconvinced. "I'm just stating the facts."

Jun Shu gave him a warning look, and he knew he was too afraid to say anything more, so he immediately got back to the point, "Sister, you haven't finished yet. Didn't Qi Jincheng ask you to help Mrs. Qi?"

“Yes.” Jun Shu nodded affirmatively.

But at the same time, another, clearer thought flashed into Jun Shu's mind, something she had just thought of.

Although this was hard to agree with Qi Jincheng's style, when he made that condition to her, she could no longer judge him by her previous standards.

Seeing her deep in thought, Junlin couldn't help but interrupt, "Sister?"

Jun Shu suddenly chuckled and said, "I've suddenly realized something."

"What is it?" Junlin asked urgently.

Jun Shu said with certainty, "The fundamental reason why Qi Jincheng is willing to invest in Junshang Group."

"Tch." Junlin thought she was going to say something, but he already knew the reason. "He saw Junshang's strength. A businessman like him is always profitable."

Jun Shu shook her head slightly upon hearing his answer. "That's right, he's a businessman. He did indeed recognize Jun Shang's strength, but it wasn't for his own sake, nor for the Di Hua Group."

Junlin was completely confused by what he was saying, his mind a jumbled mess. "Sister, what are you talking about? You're confusing me."

Jun Shu said firmly, "For her wife, for the sake of the prestigious families of Jinghua."

Upon hearing this, Junlin looked puzzled. After a moment of silence, he shook his head and said, "Sister, I still don't understand."

He couldn't understand what she was saying, which was within Jun Shu's expectations, but Jun Shu patiently explained to him in detail: "Although the Jinghua family mainly deals in luxury goods, in recent years their investment in jewelry has been increasing, and our Jun Shang is a benchmark in the jewelry industry in Beijing and even the whole country."

"Qi Jincheng did this so that we could become the right-hand men of the Jinghua family, and Mrs. Qi's most powerful assistants."

Jun Shu emphasized the last sentence, because it was Qi Jincheng's ultimate goal.

Having said that, Junlin finally understood, but he still found it hard to accept. "So, Qi Jincheng did all this for a woman?"

Jun Shu took a deep breath and gave Qiao Xi a different evaluation: "She is not an ordinary woman; she is the woman Qi Jincheng likes."

"I originally thought that someone like him wouldn't waste time on personal relationships, but I never expected..."

Ultimately, this heir of a prestigious family in the capital was no ordinary person; how could an ordinary person so completely capture Qi Jincheng's heart?

Junlin had never liked Qi Jincheng, and he boldly speculated, "Maybe he's after the Jinghua family."

Jun Shu decisively denied his speculation, "I can tell that's not it."
