Chapter 4: My Sister

Several people at the front desk fell silent at the same time, and Chen Peiran stood by and stared at her.

The landline clearly transmitted the man's voice. The faint electric current sounded magnetic, and there was also a hint of frivolity that I didn't know if Shuangxu had misunderstood:

"Which sister of mine is this?"

“…”

What the hell? If this wasn’t Yundun’s company phone, Shuang Xu would have suspected that he had dialed the wrong number.

She covered the receiver inconspicuously and turned her back.

Xiao Liao immediately "wisely" dragged Chen Peiran away and said loudly: "Mr. Chen, it's really ungentlemanly of you to eavesdrop on other people's phone calls!"

People around looked over, Chen Peiran looked a little embarrassed and pushed her away: "What are you yelling about?"

Shuang Xu said into the microphone: "I am Song Shuang Xu."

Opposite: “What do you want?”

Shuang Xu's hope that "maybe he would help him because they were acquaintances" was dashed.

She didn't expect that He Tingzhou didn't even remember her name, so she had no choice but to move Shen Yu out.

"Shuang Xu." She spoke clearly, "Shen Yu's sister."

"Looking for your brother?" The man still had that nonchalant tone, which had nothing to do with warmth. "He's not with me."

Shuang Xu: "I'm looking for... you."

The silence on the other end of the phone lasted for three seconds.

He Tingzhou said in a lazy tone: "Wait."

Five minutes later, He Tingzhou's chief assistant came down to meet her in person and respectfully invited Shuang Xu into the elevator: "Ms. Song, this way, please."

The word "ugly" was not enough to describe Chen Peiran's expression.

Xiao Liao had never thought that she could really do it, and a blazing hope ignited from despair: "Do you really know Mr. He? Then we are sure to win this time!"

"Don't open the champagne at halftime." Shuang Xu covered his mouth with his hand and whispered, "I don't know him well enough."

President He only saw Shuang Xu, and Xiao Liao could only stay in the lobby, watching the elevator door close.

The shiny metal door frame reflected Chen Peiran's tense and distorted expression, completely different from the confident and arrogant expression just now.

She felt refreshed immediately.

"Mr. Chen, you look so ugly. You can be angry, but don't get sick from anger, hahahaha."

Chen Peiran glared at her, not caring about the verbal battle. He anxiously took out his cell phone and called in a low voice: "Tell me who Song Shuangxu is."

He didn't expect that He Tingzhou would actually be willing to see her.

Chen Xing spent a lot of effort to get in touch with Cloud Shield Group through a middle-level leader. He went to Cloud Shield so many times, but the person he met was a small leader in the technical development department, and he didn't even see a hair of He Tingzhou.

If she really knew He Tingzhou, wouldn't the cooperation between Chenxing and Yundun be over? !

Shuang Xu himself was not so sure.

He Tingzhou is Shen Yu's friend. Logically speaking, with Shen Yu's relationship, this small liquid hydrogen drone contract should be easy to get.

But among Shen Yu's group of brothers, the one Shuang Xu had the least contact with and was the one he feared the most was He Tingzhou.

The few impressions she had of He Tingzhou were: bad.

Arriving at the CEO's office on the top floor, the general assistant who led the way knocked on the door, and a cold voice came from inside: "Come in."

It's very different from what was on the phone just now.

The assistant pushed open the door and politely made a gesture of invitation.

Shuang Xu let out a long breath, and the loose hair on his forehead was blown up and down. He calmed down and walked in.

He Tingzhou's office is decorated in a cold black and gray color scheme. The cold lines and metallic feel indicate the owner's coldness.

She didn't expect there were other people inside.

There were several men in suits sitting in the reception area. It was no wonder that Shuang Xu saw He Tingzhou at first sight, as he stood out too much among them.

Different from Shen Yu's gentle and handsome appearance, He Tingzhou has a very bony face, thick eyebrows, deep eyes, a high nose, and is handsome and aggressive.

He sat on the black leather sofa with his back to the floor-to-ceiling window. He had broad and straight shoulders, and his strong lines narrowed at the waist, followed by long legs wrapped in jet-black trousers.

When the door opened, he glanced over.

Those eyes were cold, sharp and narrow, and just one glance was enough for Shuang Xu to feel a sense of oppression coming towards him.

He Tingzhou's eyes passed over her casually, and he probably didn't even see what she looked like.

Shuang Xu didn't understand why he let her in when he was talking to someone.

I sat down not far away and closed my ears so as not to eavesdrop.

After waiting for nearly twenty minutes, the conversation over there ended. After everyone left, Shuang Xu stood up and walked towards the reception area.

He Tingzhou sat in his original position, looking down at the documents, as if he had forgotten that she existed.

Shuang Xu knew that he had been able to get this little bit of time thanks to Shen Yu's favor, so he explained his purpose while he was approving the documents.

He Tingzhou didn't even raise his head, and the pen made a rustling sound as it rubbed against the paper.

His finger bones were slender and powerful, and his pen tip was vigorous; the sound was sometimes light and sometimes heavy, shocking the clouds and the dragons.

Shuang Xu briefly described Feixue's latest progress in the liquid hydrogen drone project. Halfway through her speech, she noticed that He Tingzhou's attention had shifted from the documents to her.

With the open blue folder on his knees, he held his forehead with his fingers and stared at her without blinking.

The eyes were sharp in shape, and the pupils were a deep, dark black.

Shuang Xu couldn't tell whether he was listening attentively or distracted.

"The liquid hydrogen drone project took Feixhua two years to develop. The method by which Chenxing obtained the research results was not legitimate. It was because the two founders had a disagreement..."

"It's none of my business if a couple fights." He Tingzhou finally spoke.

"I want the technology, not their love. It doesn't matter whether the child takes the father's surname or the mother's."

“Yes.”

Shuang Xu said methodically, "Shu Yang is a graduate student majoring in aircraft design and engineering, and Chen Peiran is studying finance. Shu Yang has always been the technical core of Feixue's R&D department. More important than technology is the talent who masters the technology."

After a pause, he said, "Since President He has been paying attention to this project for so long, he must have great confidence in Shu Yang's ability."

He Tingzhou raised his eyebrows slightly: "Don't call me Brother Tingzhou anymore?"

Shuang Xu thought to himself, don’t you forget me?

"...Brother Tingzhou." She changed her words.

He Tingzhou stared at her thoughtfully for a few seconds: "Why do you need to use your connections for Feixue's matter?"

Shuang Xu wanted to say that she was not here specifically to build connections, she just took up the position temporarily and had not thought of this beforehand.

But think about it, if the relationship can be established and it can help Shu Yang, it will be a good result.

"Shu Yang is my senior. She is in the hospital now and cannot come here in person. I am here on her behalf."

"You are the first person to come to me through the back door." He Tingzhou seemed to find it interesting and raised his head and said, "It's not wrong to set a precedent for you."

"Same conditions as Chen Xing. If you want to sign a contract, please make an appointment with the secretary."

Shuang Xu frowned, "The conditions offered by Chen Xing are almost given to you for free, in order to get in touch with the Cloud Shield Group. Anyway, this project belongs to Feixue, and they get it for free. But it's different for Feixue, Feixue has invested a lot of money and effort in this project."

If it was given to Cloud Shield for free, wouldn’t all the past two years have been in vain?

Shuang Xu tried to negotiate with him: "Can we discuss the terms further..."

Before she finished speaking, He Tingzhou raised the corner of his mouth into a meaningful smile.

He had two buttons of his black shirt open, and with that smile he looked not like a group president but rather a dissolute and evil young man.

He Tingzhou twirled the pen between his fingers for a few times. He enunciated the words lazily, as if flirting with them:

"Little princess, you don't have that much face in front of me."
