Help me find someone
After taking a shower, Shen Yanshu lay in bed, holding her teddy bear and flipping through her phone. She loved stuffed toys, so her parents had a special place in the closet for them. The brown sitting bear that always sat on the bed was her favorite.
"What are you doing?"
The message came from her best friend, Wen Xianyue, the eldest daughter of the Wen family, who also had a brother. The Wen family had been established through hard work and was very strict with their children, but her brother doted on her.
"Just lying in bed." Shen Yanshu thought and began typing frantically, "I'm telling you, I met a jerk."
Wen Xianyue: What’s wrong?
"On my way to the auction, I met a handsome guy who looked like a mixed-race guy who had been in a car accident. I was kind enough to take him to the venue, but..." Shen Yanshu typed even harder as he spoke. "In the end, he fell in love with the same item as me and raised the price five times, leaving me no chance at all."

After finishing a long paragraph, Shen Yanshu felt that he had completely released his resentment.
Wen Xianyue: How handsome?
Then a phone call came in. Shen Yanshu looked at the voice call displayed on the phone with a helpless expression. It turned out that they were sisters.
"You're dating someone because you like him because he's handsome," Wen Xianyue exposed without mercy.
Shen Yanshu recalled Su Bai's appearance and said stubbornly, "But he stole my birthday present."
"If it's not in your hands, it's not yours." Wen Xianyue said, "Even if I die under the peony flowers, I'll still be romantic. Be more careful next time and don't pick up men on the street easily."
Shen Yanshu fell on the bed and began to recall in his mind: "Don't say it, he is really good-looking."
She had been to both China and abroad, and had seen all sorts of handsome men. But Su Bai was too outstanding. Not only was his face outstanding, but he also had that indescribable aura that no one who had seen him would ever forget.
Wen Xianyue said, "I know that a handsome face is easy to forgive, but you changed too quickly. You have absolutely no principles."
"I feel a little regretful now." Shen Yanshu hugged his bear and played with its ears.
"What do you regret? Didn't you ask for contact information?"
Shen Yanshu shook his head. "He said he wanted to apologize to me and give me a gift, but I was angry at the time and ignored him."
Wen Xianyue was silent for a moment before she said, "Leaving the handsome guy alone and leaving by yourself... this is something you would do."
"Why?" Shen Yanshu was very puzzled.
"That's what happens when you're angry. Your face is as cold as an iceberg. You say 'it's okay, it's fine' on the surface, but what you really mean is, get out of here right now. You won't even give me a chance to explain. It's completely consistent with your character."
"...But since I can go to the auction with you, I guess my status is not bad. Most of Ningcheng can't get around your family. I will meet you sooner or later."
Shen Yanshu thought so too, but he felt something was wrong: "Although this is the truth..."
Wen Xianyue continued, "But you're a hands-off manager. If your uncle asks you to go to the company, you can come up with eight hundred excuses. It's hard to meet him."
The air was silent for three seconds, and then she said, "Otherwise, go check it out."
Wen Xianyue's words had awakened Shen Yanshu. Although she had never done anything like checking a man's identity, it wouldn't hurt to check. It was both nerve-wracking and exciting, and she was also genuinely curious about who Su Bai was.
Judging from his behavior, he should have lived abroad for a long time. From his secretary, car, limited edition Audemars Piguet watch on his wrist, to the auction, he is not the kind of person who comes to Ningcheng specifically for a collection. For such a thing, he can just send his secretary. If he has a company in Ningcheng, he can just find a person in charge to go to the auction directly. There is no need to go there himself.
The more Shen Yanshu thought about it, the more curious he became, and the stronger his desire to investigate him became: "I know, Yueyue, you are really smart."
"You're just too obsessed with handsome guys to think straight."
After chatting for a few words and hanging up the phone, Shen Yanshu immediately sent a message to Shen Xing's secretary, asking him to check Su Bai's background.
The next morning, Shen Yanshu drowsily got out of bed, stretched, and glanced at the time. It was already past nine o'clock. After washing up and leaving the room, she saw her parents preparing breakfast in the kitchen.
Chen Xing doesn't like others disturbing his and his wife's world of two, so they live in a large flat in the city. He basically cooks the meals, and the cleaners come to clean regularly.
"Xiaoshu is awake." Mingwan asked.
Shen Yanshu was still a little confused, and hummed sleepily, "Good morning, Mom and Dad. Dad, what are we having for dinner today?"
"The dumplings you want are also served downstairs, and there's tofu pudding downstairs." Chen Xing said, "I'm making soy milk for your mother, come and help."
"OK."
At the dinner table, Ming Wan was dedicated to feeding Shen Yanshu fat. The food abroad wasn't very good, and Shen Yanshu complained about it every time he called. He finally graduated and came back, so he had to be well fed. Besides, every mother thought her child needed to eat well.
"Xiaoshu, do you have a boyfriend?" Mingwan asked.
Shen Yanshu's mouth was full, and he was fiddling with his phone with one hand. He said, "No, Mom."
"Then eat well and don't look at your phone."
Ming Wan was very open-minded about Shen Yanshu's relationship. Her only concern was that a bad relationship experience would make Shen Yanshu afraid of love. Especially after her last relationship, Ming Wan's worries increased.
Shen Xing peeled the eggs, picked out the yolks and put them in his own bowl, and gave the egg whites to his wife, "I heard that you asked Secretary Li to check someone."
Secretary Li is the secretary that Shen Xing trusts the most and has been with him the longest. When Shen Yanshu was a child, Secretary Li would occasionally pick her up and drop her off at school. Whenever Shen Yanshu needed help from Secretary Li, she would definitely not bypass Chen Xing. Shen Yanshu would never avoid him, after all, it wouldn't matter if her father knew.
Shen Yanshu nodded: "Yeah."
Shen Xing asked: "Who bought the collection last night?"
Shen Xing's eyesight was as good as ever, and he knew what his daughter was thinking without having to guess.
"Yes." Shen Yanshu had already received the information sent by Secretary Li, and she took a look at it.
"Su Bai, 28 years old, studied economics at Harvard, is the head of S Group and is very decisive. He came to Ningcheng to implement a project, and S Group plans to bring most of its business to Ningcheng." Secretary Li sent the message and added, "They may visit the chairman soon."
Shen Yanshu took a look and handed the phone to Shen Xing: "It's him."
Shen Xing wiped his hands, took the phone, looked at the official ID photo on the phone, and said, “It’s him.”
Shen Yanshu was puzzled and asked, "You knew it a long time ago?"
Shen Xing was well-informed, not to mention that for such a large enterprise to settle in Ningcheng, even the rats in the sewers knew where to crawl, so how could he not know.
Shen Xing only commented: "A young man with as much ability as ambition."
Seeing his father say this, Shen Yanshu deliberately asked, "Does it make you feel a sense of crisis?"
Shen Xing said: "That's not the case. Business is changing rapidly, and our foundations are different, so it won't be that serious."
Ming Wan watched the father and daughter discuss and became curious: "Who is it?"
Shen Xing handed her the phone: “I told you, Su Bai.”
"That person you praised before." Ming Wan was surprised when she saw the photo. "He looks good too."
Shen Xing paused his chopsticks while eating, and Shen Yanshu lowered his head a little, and heard his father slowly say: "She looks good."
Ming Wan glanced at her jealous husband, who still got angry after all these years. "I mean, I think being our son-in-law is a good idea."
Shen Xing's expression relaxed, and after thinking for a while, he said, "It's indeed okay. What do you think, Xiaoshu?"
Watching the shells being thrown at him, Shen Yanshu was choked by the chili in the tofu pudding and began to cough.
Ming Wan quickly handed her a glass of water: "Slow down."
"I think you're overthinking it."
Shen Xing and Ming Wan looked at each other, not wanting to expose Shen Yanshu.
Ming Wan said, "Well, Mom and Dad are overthinking it. But Xiaoshu, did you really check him out just because he took a picture of the manuscript?"
Don't you know what your own child is like? From childhood to adulthood, Shen Yanshu has never done anything reckless, let alone checking other people's backgrounds for trivial matters.
"Let's stop talking and have a good meal." Shen Yanshu's face turned red. She felt very shy when her girlish thoughts were exposed.
"Xiaoshu, come with me to the company today." Shen Xing wiped his mouth and said.
"What for?" Shen Yanshu hadn't had enough fun yet, and didn't want to be dragged by her own father to handle company business. She was the only one in their family, and she would inherit the family business sooner or later. While her father was still able to move, she should have fun for two more years.
"Take you to play." Shen Xing said.
Shen Yanshu secretly complained in her heart, she had no intention of hiding her father's intention to abdicate and travel around the world with his wife.
"Okay, Dad. But I have a request."
"What?"
"I want to sleep with my mom today." Shen Yanshu had wanted to do this for a long time, but his own father always had ten million reasons to refuse, especially saying things like "How old are you, and you still sleep with your mom?" to block him.
Shen Xing felt a headache, but I am my father. Since he dared to propose it, he had the ability to make Shen Yanshu go willingly.
"If you don't want to go, I won't force you to go, but Secretary Li just sent me a message saying that Su Bai will be here today. Are you sure you don't want to go?" Shen Xing said mysteriously, "And I guarantee he will be surprised to see you."
"What are you surprised about? Am I your daughter?"
Shen Xing smiled mysteriously, “You’ll know when you go there.”
Ming Wan watched the father and daughter interacting with each other. It was like this before and it was still like this now. Chen Xing's two tricks of provoking and using riddles always worked. Ming Wan tried to intervene at first, but later she was too lazy to do anything about it.
"Okay, I'll go with you." Shen Yanshu agreed.
Ming Wan sent the two people out: "Be careful."
"I know, Mom."
"I understand, Awan." Shen Xing and his wife hugged each other.
In the company, Shen Yanshu was bored killing time in Shen Xing's office, while Shen Xing was dealing with work: "Xiaoshu, do you want to do this bidding?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Yanshu walked over to his father and glanced at the document. Shen's business scope was very broad, involving technology, services, tourism, and other areas. Shen Yanshu was also familiar with this bidding. They had done aerospace engineering work twice before and were very familiar with it. However, he noticed some new changes in the content.
However, no matter how familiar you are with it, bidding is not a sure thing, and all kinds of outrageous situations are unimaginable.
Shen Xing wanted her to participate, undoubtedly to train her, let her get along well with the people in the company, and do some beautiful work to shut people up when the time comes.
"Sure." Shen Yanshu accepted it generously.
"Then you can start tomorrow. I'll ask the HR department to arrange for you to join. It just so happens that they haven't started much yet. You can go and learn a little. If you don't know, ask more questions." Shen Xing said.
"I know, Dad." Shen Yanshu asked Shen Xing to send the file to his mobile phone and had already started to think about it.
After a while, Secretary Li knocked on the door and walked in: "Chairman, President Su is here."
"Please ask him to come in."
Shen Yanshu immediately sat up straight, "Dad, is this okay for me?"
Shen Xing nodded: “Okay.”
Shen Yanshu inherited the advantages of him and Mingwan. She was fair and beautiful when she was born. The nurses praised her endlessly. She became more and more beautiful as she grew up. Besides, she was the daughter of Shen Xing, so what was wrong with her?
Shen Yanshu saw Su Bai's back. He didn't look towards the sofa, but looked towards Shen Xing in the direction of the door: "Hello, Mr. Shen."
"Mr. Su, please take a seat." Chen Xing stood up and motioned Su Bai to go to the sofa.
Su Bai turned around and saw Shen Yanshu standing next to the sofa. He was stunned for a moment.
