Even if the other party is a big star, it won't work; she wouldn't be able to explain it to her friends.

Shen Xinghe was stunned. He still wanted to deny it, but Xie Li simply took action and took the jade pendant that he had just put on from his neck.

The door slammed shut, and only then did he realize what was happening. He almost burst into tears.

What kind of devilish sister is this? She shows no mercy whatsoever. Doesn't she think her brother has more face than that young man with his spirits?

He followed unwillingly: "Aren't you going to ask me why I approached you?"

Xie Li: "Do you want to say it? If you do, say it now. By the way, that jade necklace is yours, right? Here you go."

Shen Xinghe stood there, dumbfounded, watching Xie Li's departing figure.

A moment later, his phone rang. Shen Xinghe frowned and answered, "Hello."

Across from him, the man frowned almost imperceptibly upon seeing his face: "Where's my darling Lili? Why are you the only one here? Did you give her the gift?"

Shen Xinghe felt heartbroken when this was mentioned. "No, she came back."

Xu Zhen: "So, you just went there to freeload a meal and didn't get anything done? How dare you make any guarantees to us?"

He was really dissatisfied with his nephew. It was one thing for a grown man not to take over the family business, but to go and try his luck in the entertainment industry. Was he planning to work the old folks to death?

Fortunately, there's always a way out, and Xie Li's appearance gave them a glimmer of hope.

"Do you know what it means for Lili to clear the Encyclopedia King SSS-level difficulty this time? Oh, you don't know, because you've never even tried it."

Shen Xinghe: "..."

As a top star, does he need to know these things? Besides, why does his uncle look at him with such contempt? They're both academically challenged!

Xu Zhen, having experienced the exhilaration of a top student gazing at a struggling student, coughed lightly and suggested, "To celebrate Lili's passing of the Encyclopedia King SSS difficulty level, do you think I should hold a celebratory discount event in our department stores?"

"By the way, we can also take down that LED screen in the city center. I get annoyed by your grumpy face all the time. Can we replace it with a picture of Lili?"

Before Shen Xinghe could even speak, his assistant standing next to him refused with a stern face.

"Boss, your behavior is disturbing the young lady's peaceful life."

Shen Xinghe: "Yes, don't forget that the Ming family is still watching us."

If it weren't for a girl named Ming Xiaoxiao blocking the Ming family's view, he wouldn't have dared to come looking for Xie Li.

They don't want the Ming family to reach out to Xie Li before they've even acknowledged their sister; that's something none of them want to see.

Xu Zhen sighed with some regret; he could only think about it for the sake of it.

Xu Zhen: "Sigh, it's all because our Xu family is too low-key."

"Skilling in the SSS difficulty level of the Encyclopedia King would be a big deal in an ordinary family, with all sorts of celebrations and feasts. Our family's style of doing things, tsk."

Xu Zhen smacked his lips, indicating, "It's your grandpa's fault."

Shen Xinghe: "...I heard you! Be careful, or I'll tell Grandpa."

Xu Zhen scoffed. So what if he complains? If he were afraid of his father, he wouldn't have started his own business in the first place.

The two then changed the subject.

“Our company has invested in a program called ‘The Young Students’. I think the concept is great. Why don’t you be a guest on one episode? The next episode will be at Linjiang No.1 Middle School.”

"You'll have the chance to be classmates with Lili! This is a great investment from your uncle. It allows you to get close to Lili and develop a sibling relationship."

Shen Xinghe's eyes lit up.
