Shen Qianqian: Sister, let me tell you, your thinking is a bit dangerous.
After gossiping for a while, a notification popped up on their phones: "President of the Xi Group meets with Movie Queen Gu at night; perhaps good news is on the way!"
Li Ruan thought for a moment, "Isn't the Xi Group the same Xi Group as Xi Leng?"
Shen Qianqian immediately clicked on the push notification, exclaiming repeatedly, "Is President Xi really that handsome? If he were in the entertainment industry, even the top celebrities would have to step aside! It's a pity he doesn't even have a Weibo account, otherwise I would definitely follow him."
"It's just half a profile picture, and the photo is quite dark. How did you figure out he's handsome?" Li Ruan asked curiously.
Shen Qianqian: "Just this half of his face is enough to show how outstanding President Xi is, okay? Hey, do you have bad eyesight?"
Pear Soft, who has poor eyesight: ...Although that man is indeed very handsome, we have to speak from the heart, right? You really can't tell what Xi Leng looks like from just a few photos in the video.
...
At this moment, Xi Leng, one of the people involved in the trending topic, was sitting in the living room of the old house with a dark expression. Opposite him sat a middle-aged couple. The man looked to be in his forties and had a very serious expression. The woman was dignified and beautiful and looked extremely young. She resembled Xi Leng at least five points.
These two people are Xi Leng's biological parents.
"You called me back just for this?"
Wen Rong was a typical lady from a well-to-do family, with elegant speech and clothing, but her face always carried a faint sorrow. "Otherwise what? Your relationship with someone else has been exposed, so can't I even ask about it?"
Xi Boyuan said coldly, "We've all seen the trending topics. Let me tell you, that Gu Jiani can forget about ever getting into the Xi family."
He knew all too well how chaotic the entertainment industry was. With so many good girls in the industry, why did he have to choose one that his wife didn't like?
Xi Leng frowned. "Dad, those are all lies written by reporters. You actually believe them?"
"It would be better if you just wrote something random. Since you don't like anyone else, today is a good day to go on a blind date. The girl from the Chen family graduated with a PhD from Cambridge. She studied finance and now works at her family's company. You'll definitely have something in common with her."
Xi Leng stood up abruptly: "Dad, you and Mom don't need to worry about my marriage!"
When Xi Boyuan saw that he was about to leave, he slammed his fist on the table in anger, "Shouldn't we worry about this? Have you really taken a fancy to someone?"
I'm telling you, none of those women will ever step foot in our house. Your mother and I will never allow it.
The main problem is that his wife disagrees, and he can't let her be unhappy.
Xi Leng: "Okay. I have something to do at the company, so I'll head back first."
The couple didn't look too good. Their son either never came home, or when he did, he was just annoying. He'd only been back for a short time before making another excuse to leave.
"All you ever talk about is the company, huh? The company won't go bankrupt even if you leave it alone for a day."
Xi Leng's expression was cold and stern: "If Dad thinks I'm too busy, he can retire early and go manage the company."
Xi Boyuan cursed the brat in his heart. He was only fifty-one years old and had already been promoted this year. He could stay in his position for at least another ten years. Was he crazy to ask him to retire early to manage the company?
What should I do if I really want to hit someone?
Well, we've raised this son for over thirty years, and he's generally been quite obedient. I doubt he'll suddenly do anything that the family can't accept.
"If all else fails, Dad and Mom can have another child. I don't mind if Dad doesn't want to retire early!"
Xi Boyuan was speechless because of his son's words. His hand was already on his belt buckle, but Xi Leng didn't give his father any chance at all. He got up and walked away.
He Cheng, who was waiting in the car, noticed that his boss seemed to be in a bad mood. He wisely did not ask and silently told the driver to go back to the company without saying a word.
The Xi couple were not in a good mood after their son left.
"He's gone now, what about my blind date tonight?"
Xi Boyuan put his arm around his wife's shoulder and said helplessly, "Look at his attitude today, do you think he'll agree to go on a blind date?"
Nestled into her husband's arms, Wen Rong couldn't help but furrow her brow slightly. "I've never seen him so resistant before. Could it be that he has someone he likes?"
Xi Boyuan shook his head subconsciously. With his son's cold personality, how could that be?
But after shaking his head, he hesitated. What was impossible? After all, he was already twenty-eight years old; it was normal to have someone he liked.
"I'll have someone check it out. If the person he chose is suitable, we don't need to do anything more."
Wen Rong: "Then I'll call Sister Jiamin later. Luckily, I didn't say it outright before, otherwise I would have been so embarrassed."
Xu Jiamin is Wen Rong's best friend and also the wife of the first wife of the Chen family.
Although the Chen family is not as wealthy as the Xi family, they are still considered well-off in Longcheng.
Chen Manting practically grew up under their noses. However, after high school, the girl went abroad to study and graduated with a doctorate in seven years. She is intelligent, beautiful, and most importantly, the eldest branch of the Chen family only has one daughter.
Jiamin is very worried about her precious daughter's marriage, fearing that she will be deceived by another man.
Wen Rong, having been nagged by her so much, began to think about getting her son and her best friend's daughter together. However, the boy was definitely not going to meet Manting today, so she could only tell Jia Min to reschedule.
As for whether their son is willing or not, as long as the girl he chooses is suitable, they will naturally not stop him.
...
On the way back to the company, Xi Leng remained silent until a notification sound came from the quiet car.
He picked up his phone and looked at it. To his surprise, it was a text message from Li Ruan questioning him: Mr. Xi has found a new love. Can our contract be terminated early?
Xi Leng's icy aura was enough to freeze everyone in the car to the bone. Had this woman forgotten her place? How dare she question him?!
In a fit of anger, he sent a message: By what right do you say this?
Li Ruan didn't mince words: I don't mind Mr. Xi finding someone new, but I'm a germaphobe, both physically and spiritually. If Mr. Xi has someone he likes, or has a relationship with someone else, I will consider that you have unilaterally ended this relationship.
After that, whatever I do has nothing to do with Mr. Xi!
Xi Leng: We were just photographed going in and out of a bar together, how did so many things suddenly come up?
"He Cheng, get the trending topics removed! Are the people in the PR department just sitting around doing nothing? Why didn't they remove the trending topics immediately after something like this happened?"
Also, send lawyer's letters to those marketing accounts.
He Cheng: What on earth is going on this time?!
He reported it when the CEO first became a trending topic, but he acted as if he hadn't heard anything and went about his business. Why did he change his mind after fiddling with his phone for a while?
Oh dear, was the CEO just texting Miss Li?
So Miss Pear got angry after seeing the trending topic? She's really bold, isn't she? A kept woman who dares to challenge her sugar daddy!
"Yes, President, I'll pass the word on right away! It's time to make some changes to the legal department too."
