Inside the meeting room.
Xu Shi naturally noticed Shen Qin as well, and silently sized her up.
Tall figure, long straight legs, and impeccable facial features.
This younger sister, Shenhe, is indeed a beauty, just as described in the original work.
It's obvious it's her. She's the only girl among the three people at the head of the group. Who else could it be but her?
only.
Her slightly sickly appearance made her seem less fierce.
In Xu Shi's eyes, she actually seemed... kind of cute?
Shenhe is so cute!
It must be said that Shen Qin's aura seems to be even stronger than Shen He's.
Of course, this does not exclude the possibility that when he saw Shenhe, the other party had already been severely injured by him.
Now, he is very perceptive and can clearly sense the hostility that others are deliberately suppressing towards him.
Needless to say, Chen He, whose whereabouts are currently unknown, is most likely under her protection now.
Wow, this is really interesting.
Generally, it's the younger one who gets beaten up and the older one comes along, but in my case, it's the other way around. I beat up the younger one and then an even younger one came along.
That's really interesting.
While he was making his own plans, Shen Qin kept a close eye on him.
With the incident of being sunk in the river as a precedent, she naturally had no good feelings towards Xu Shi.
She naturally didn't believe that the previous uproar had nothing to do with this guy.
However, the sense of superiority and oppression emanating from the other person made her feel uneasy and uncomfortable.
Even his own father back then lacked the youthful vigor he possessed.
She had to admit that this guy was a troublesome opponent.
Needless to say, there were people behind her.
According to regulations, each of the three leaders of the "Forsaken" may bring one attendant to the meeting.
Shen Qin was not accompanied by Shen He, but by the tall man in black robes from before, named Li Tang.
He was always loyal to Shen Qin and did not hold a grudge because of how he was treated before.
But seeing Xu Shi in person today, he felt even more certain that what he said that day was true.
"The Forgotten One" also surfs the internet, and even if he doesn't know much about it, he does know some of Xu Shi's deeds.
At a young age, he became one of the directors of the six major conglomerates and made considerable achievements in his work.
I am also quite charismatic, with elegant speech and graceful manners.
He was a native of the Forgotten Ones; he had never seen such a person before.
In comparison, Chief Shen's older brother is really too...
He didn't know the Shen siblings' past, so in his eyes, Shen He was at most a gang leader, which was not on the same level as Xu Shi.
When Li Tang first saw him, he was even more astonished. If Shen Qin hadn't explained, he would have thought he was some kind of beggar.
We "Forgotten Ones" aren't even as pathetic as you!
We really need to give Chief Shen a good talking-to. It's not worth it at all for him to fall out with Xu Shi over Shen He.
"Now that everyone's here, shall we begin, Miss Nan Qian?"
Seeing that everyone was seated, the old man Yue Chizheng said with a smile.
The Nan Qian he mentioned was actually an alias for Shen Qin.
This can also be considered a consideration for the "Forgotten Ones," since many of them were exiled as convicts.
Even if it happened a long time ago, it would still be inappropriate to openly reveal one's identity.
So before contacting the city hall, they agreed to use pseudonyms, and Song Chen and Zhao Yuan were no exception.
This is also a good thing for Shen Qin, at least in her opinion, she and Xu Shi do not know each other, so this way the matter of her brother will not be exposed.
But what she didn't know was that Xu Shi had actually known all of this for a long time.
Chairman Xu found it amusing and chuckled to himself.
But that's fine too. She feels she doesn't know her true identity, so she'll just go with the flow and pretend to be clueless.
Since Shen Qin was originally his main target, this actually saved him a lot of trouble.
"Instead of discussing the facts, shouldn't you also explain those slanders against us 'the forgotten'?"
Before Shen Qin could even nod, Zhao Yuan couldn't contain himself and asked with a gloomy face, "We are not the aliens you're talking about."
"Oh? I wonder what kind of explanation Chief Zhang Shan wants?"
Everyone found it amusing, and Long Tianding didn't care at all, giving him a disdainful glance.
"...Zhang Shan! What are you saying?"
Song Chen was completely dumbfounded. Who would bring this up right away? Aren't you just setting us up for failure? How many times have I told you before we came? Why can't this big oaf keep his temper in check?
"Sorry, sorry, he has a quick temper and sometimes doesn't think before he speaks or acts. Don't take it to heart."
He quickly stopped Zhao Yuan and smoothed things over, saying, "The City of Nightsin and we 'Forsaken' don't have much interaction, so it's normal for you all to have some misunderstandings about us."
"However, since we are determined to return to our homeland, we naturally hope to dispel these misconceptions through this."
"Yes, Chief Li Si is indeed reasonable."
Xu Shi smiled and continued, "Misunderstandings are inevitable. Just like everyone here, you used to think I was an ignorant and good-for-nothing playboy."
"Although I am not a good person, a proper understanding is indeed necessary, and the same applies to both of us."
"Chairman Xu calling himself a playboy is a slap in the face to us."
