Qi Jiu sat at the head of the desk, looking at Chong Yu with a professional fake smile. "Young Master Chong? I'm sorry for not greeting you properly. I am Qi Jiu, the representative of Xingyue Huaguo Branch."

Wang De, the representative of the Zhenhua Kingdom branch, standing nearby: "..."

"What? Huh? You, you're not..."

"Mr. Wang! Young Master Qi is here!" The secretary rushed in, sweat dripping down his face.

No sooner had the words left his mouth than a tall, imposing figure appeared in the CEO's lounge.

"Brother? Why are you so late? I've been waiting here for ages," Chongyu muttered, somewhat dissatisfied.

Qi Jiu looked at the figure at the door, raised an eyebrow and smiled.

This is fate; there's no stopping it. It seems the mission isn't far off.

Qi Silin nodded, and when his gaze swept over the person in the main seat, he was clearly taken aback. But he quickly recovered and sat down next to Chong Yu.

"Wang De, serve tea."

Qi Jiu took the documents in her hand and sat down opposite Qi Silin and the other person.

"Young Master Qi, we meet again."

Qi Jiu looked at him, a faint smile playing on her lips. It had only been a short day, yet they had met so many times.

"Yes, it's fate."

Confused and bewildered, Chongyu asked, "??"

"You...have met before?" What did you miss while he was away? Does Brother Qi know this mysterious person from the Shen family?

How could he have lost internet access so quickly? Does he not know anything about anything?

Qi Jiu flipped through the documents in her hand without looking up, "Just a brief encounter."

"It has three sides."

He gave this unhurried correction, causing both Qi Jiu and Chong Yu to look up. However, their expressions differed: one nodded in agreement, while the other stared in utter disbelief.

Is Brother Qi trying to get closer to her? Right? Right? He's definitely trying to get closer, isn't he? Or is there something special about this girl?

"We've heard that you two want to cooperate with Xingyue, but are dissatisfied with this contract?"

The Qi and Chong families, like the Shen family, haven't ventured abroad. It's hard to believe they're now considering collaborating with multinational corporations. But perhaps it's for the best; everyone has ambitions, right?

Chongyu looked at the simple business card on the table and smiled. "Mr. Qi... don't you think some of the clauses in this contract are a bit domineering?"

"Domineering? Young Master Chong, don't forget, Xingyue is a multinational corporation, and many of our collaborations involve international partnerships. The Qi family and the Chong family haven't even ventured abroad yet, so many of your conditions seem..."

The three of them chatted away in the CEO's lounge for quite some time, until the tea on the table had gone cold, before the game finally ended.

Qi Jiu smiled as she looked at her signed name on the contract.

In just a few moments, Chongyu's impression of Qijiu had undergone a complete transformation. Now, in his eyes, the person in front of him was not labeled as a member of the Shen family, but as the powerful Xingyue Boss.

I never expected that someone so young would be so shrewd with contracts, like a fox, someone who has been fighting in the business world for a long time.

Even Qi Silin's eyes didn't miss a beat during those few minutes; he even nodded in agreement at times.

After the two men left, Wang De stepped forward. "You resolved it so quickly. Before you arrived, that young master Chong was very persistent."

Qi Jiu looked at the contract written in black and white on the table, raised an eyebrow and chuckled: "It's not difficult. They're using the Qi family and the Chong family as a test."

She should have known long ago that this young master of the Qi family was not as simple as he seemed.

Outside the Star Moon branch, Chongyu looked at the man beside him with a complicated expression. "Brother, we've met our match."

Although the cooperation wasn't large, the negotiating stance was far more cunning than that of seasoned international players. If Qi Silin hadn't been there, he probably would have been led by the nose by Qi Jiu by now.

Qi Silin smiled inexplicably, "The Shen family has picked up a treasure, but judging from her demeanor, her excellence is probably more than that."

The representative of the Star Moon branch? Is that all? He was a little... skeptical.

"elder brother?"

"The sunglasses she was wearing on her chest belonged to designer G."

That international designer?

Hearing this, Chongyu realized it too. Not only were the sunglasses on her chest designer G's, but they didn't seem to have been released to the market yet!

Where did she come from?

"He's a legendary figure." Chongyu was convinced.

By the time all the affairs of the Xingyue branch were settled, it was already evening.

When Qi Jiu drove back to Chen Manor, it was unusually lively inside. Could it be that her nominal second brother had returned?

Sure enough, as soon as I entered, I saw a man sitting cross-legged on the sofa, holding a game console, and I was thoughtfully handing him fruit.

As soon as he saw her return, he ran towards her as if he were having a great time, abandoning the fruit plate he was carrying.

"Qiqi! Qiqi, this is my second brother. Second brother, this is Qiqi, my sister!"

Shen Sisi was happily making her introduction when Shen Cisheng not only didn't move, but his face also fell.

"Your sister? I only have one sister, you! Where did this other sister come from!" With that, he stopped playing the game, threw the game console on the sofa, turned around and left without even glancing at Qi Jiu.

"Qiqi, don't be angry, my second brother didn't mean that."

Shen Sisi's expression was a little off, and she wanted to say something more, but Qi Jiu's hand was already on her head.

"fine."

It would be a bit strange if everyone in the family welcomed her, since it would take away some of their parents' energy and love.

Because of Shen Cisheng's unwelcoming attitude, the meal wasn't very enjoyable.

The next day, Shen Cisheng looked at the empty space opposite him and smiled.

"What time is it? Sisi has to go to class. Even though she doesn't have to go to class, she doesn't need to get up this late, does she?"

Shen Sisi kept her head down and didn't say anything, but Shen Cimo nudged her with his elbow. "Say less."

"What, you can't say anything just because you woke up late? What about her..."

"Good morning." Qi Jiu, dressed in sportswear, walked in through the door, waved to the people at the dining table, and then turned and went upstairs.

At the dinner table, Chen Si thought about laughing but dared not, his shoulders shaking as he suppressed his laughter. Chen Cimo, on the other hand, looked at the newspaper in his hand and laughed.

"You've been proven wrong, haven't you?"

Shen Cisheng: "..."

After the meal, Shen Sisi was the first to leave for class, followed closely by Shen Cimo and Shen Cisheng, one returning to the company and the other to school.

When the sun was high in the sky, Qi Jiu went out, still driving her black BMW.

Today she wore a trench coat, her dark hair was loose, and her delicate features were covered by sunglasses.

The skyscraper in front of us is a shopping mall in the bustling area of ​​City A. Animations are playing on the 3D LED screen on it, and many spokespeople for internationally renowned brands are appearing on the screen.
