The girl bent down and poured tea into the teapot on the table. "My phone died. I had classes all day and spent lunch at the library, so I didn't have time to charge it."

Moreover, she wasn't the type to play on her phone much, and she didn't play games often, only when she had free time, so she didn't initially notice whether her phone had battery or not.

By the time they realized it, it was too late.

"So what are you doing today...?"

“Ah Lin came to pick me up; he knew about ‘Xing Luo’s’ actions.”

Shen Cimo nodded knowingly. "'Xingluo's' actions were too swift; I didn't expect this day to happen so soon."

Since the Shen family knows about Xingluo's actions, Xingluo must have already come knocking on their door.

The girl pursed her lips and looked at Shen Cimo. "Have you already set a time?"

She poured the freshly brewed tea into her teacup, seemingly unconcerned about the matter. This calm demeanor surprised Shen Cisheng.

"It's all arranged. They've even drafted a preliminary agreement with the other party. It seems that in their eyes, the Shen family is already theirs for the taking."

As he spoke, Shen Cimo handed the electronic version of the publishing contract to the girl. Qi Jiu read it while scrolling down with her finger, and finished reading it in no time.

She laughed, a sarcastic laugh.

"A fool's dream."

What's the difference between this contract and an unfair contract clause? Do they really think the Shen family is just a small, insignificant family? Do they really think they can do whatever they want just because they have powerful backers? Do they really think the Shen family is afraid of Xingluo's threats?

Since you're so confident, let's see whether Xingluo or the Shen family wins this time.

Shen Cisheng seemed a bit nervous about this matter. He was out of sorts and would often freeze in a daze.

"Ah Sheng?" The girl pushed the teacup in front of her towards Shen Cisheng. "Nervous?"

Shen Cisheng nodded somewhat embarrassedly, "Since I was born, this is the first time the Shen family has faced such a serious problem. And now that I'm in the Shen family, I just feel..."

There may have been some troubles with previous collaborations, but we have never faced an acquisition issue like this before.

The Shen family isn't bankrupt, Xingluo is simply going too far.

Qi Jiu looked at the tea in her cup, and at her reflection in the lamplight, a smile playing on her lips. "Don't worry, Xing Luo won't succeed."

In other words, Xingluo will never succeed in his lifetime.

"Stars fall, stars fall," she thought, wanting to see whether it would be the moon and stars falling, or them falling to their deaths. She'd never seen anything so reckless before.

That day, the girl unsurprisingly took a day off.

The black business suit she wore made her look even more upright and mature, giving her the aura of a strong woman.

She had somehow managed to suppress her unruly and unrestrained nature, and now she was exactly the same person she was at the Star Moon headquarters.

The clattering sound of high heels underfoot is like a death knell, enough to scare anyone who hears it.

When the employees of Shen's Group saw Qi Jiu, they were all stunned without exception.

I was somewhat surprised to see her here, and I was also shocked by her outfit.

Although Qi Jiu is the eldest daughter of the Shen family, she rarely comes to the Shen family's group. Now, not only has she come, but she is also dressed in an outfit that looks like she's challenging someone. People are still stunned when they see her like this.

Is this young lady here to go against CEO Shen?

"Young Miss".

Qi Jiu nodded to Shen Cimo's secretary, then stepped into the president's private elevator and disappeared from everyone's sight.

Inside the elevator, the secretary stood behind Qi Jiu, glancing at the figure in front of her every now and then, but dared not utter a word.

He had never been alone with their young lady before, and now that she was dressed in business attire, it was quite intimidating.

She really does resemble a decisive and efficient female CEO from a TV drama.

"Where are Momo and Asheng?"

Suddenly, the girl's somewhat cold voice rang out in the quiet elevator.

The secretary was taken aback. "Mo Mo? Mo Mo! President!"

"President Shen is currently entertaining guests in the conference room, and the second young master is also inside."

Qi Jiu raised an eyebrow. "Xing Luo's people are here?"

"bite!"

The elevator doors opened, and the secretary followed behind Qi Jiu, nodding despite knowing that Qi Jiu couldn't see her.

"Yes, about half an hour ago. We're all in the conference room now, the negotiations probably haven't started yet."

Wearing high heels, the young woman walked at a brisk pace, with her secretary following closely behind. Soon, the two arrived at the door of the conference room.

Seeing Qi Jiu's outstretched hand, the secretary instinctively spoke up. "Miss, what are you doing...?"

President Shen never seemed to have mentioned that the eldest daughter would also be involved in the Shen family's affairs. Now is a crucial time, is it really alright for the eldest daughter to go in?

Although the young lady has the right, this concerns the Shen family.

"Let those who have fallen from the stars return to where they came from."

Qi Jiu's lips curled up, radiating confidence and arrogance, which stunned the secretary.

When he came to his senses, he saw that the young lady had already pushed the door open and entered.

There were clearly many people in the conference room. In addition to Shen Cimo and Shen Cisheng, many high-ranking members of the Shen family were also present.

After all, Xingluo's actions concerned the entire Shen family.

On the other side, it should be Xingluo's people, and they brought quite a few people with them.

Looking at them from this angle, there are at least five or six people, and the men in black behind them look like their bodyguards.

They certainly have a big ego.

The girl's appearance drew all eyes to her in the conference room.

When the Shen family's higher-ups saw her, they were stunned for a moment, their serious expressions quickly replaced by bewilderment, but they soon came to their senses.

We looked at each other and saw varying degrees of misunderstanding on each other's faces.

Why did this young lady suddenly come to the company?

But now I understand who the empty seat next to President Shen is reserved for.

When Shen Cimo and Shen Cisheng saw Qi Jiu, a smile appeared on their serious faces.

Under the watchful eyes of so many people, Qi Jiu remained completely calm, holding her briefcase, and sat down unhurriedly in the empty seat next to Shen Cimo.

Although there were only five or six people opposite them, it was clear that they came from different places, with Eastern and Western faces mixed together.

"Am I late?"

Shen Cimo smiled and said, "It's not too late. Everything hasn't even started yet."

You could say I've been waiting for you.

"This is..." Suddenly, the person in the center of the starry sky spoke up. He had a Western face, and although his features were somewhat deep, they also gave him a kind of meanness.

His gaze remained fixed on Qi Jiu, his eyes filled with scrutiny and interest. It seemed that in his eyes, the girl was nothing more than a toy.
