Tong Su heard Xi Chenzhou enter the room, but she didn't turn around. She waved her hand and continued to ponder how to write the next sentence while holding her pen in her mouth.
Knowing she was busy, Xi Chenzhou gently closed the door, being careful not to make a sound that might interrupt her train of thought.
There were only the two of them in the room. The French windows were bright, and the sheer inner curtains fluttered gently in the breeze. He quietly put down what he was carrying, changed his shoes, and went inside.
The maid, Chen Ma, was not there. Xi Chenzhou looked around, then turned and went to the kitchen to wash an apple, peeled and chopped it, put it in a small glass bowl, stuck a small fork in it, and placed it on the small coffee table next to Tong Su.
This child forgets everything when she gets busy. If I don't peel and cut the fruit into pieces for her, she probably won't eat it.
Tong Su finished the water in her cup. Xi Chenzhou raised an eyebrow, his smile softening. He poured a cup of warm honey water and set it aside.
Tong Su was engrossed in the biographical sketches and busy writing, completely unaware of Xi Chenzhou's actions, muttering to herself.
“Ji Baishu… grew up in poverty with her mother and sister. Her mother worked as a cook and maid… so she can cook. Yes, she must be quite good at cooking… maybe she’ll cook for Xiao Lingchen,”
Xi Chenzhou smiled slightly and raised an eyebrow. Without saying anything to disturb her, he turned and left to go back to his study to attend to his business.
"Boss, this year, the total return on our ZR company's venture capital investments reached 42%, ranking among the top in the industry..."
On the other end of the computer video, his subordinate and deputy Yan Yiqing was giving a serious report. After listening, Xi Chenzhou nodded and said, "Prepare 300 million in working capital for me."
Yan Yiqing was clearly a little surprised, but his excellent professional skills prevented him from raising any questions. His cool and serious expression remained unchanged as he replied, "Yes."
Only after the entire conference call was over did Xi Chenzhou relax slightly. He lowered his head, closed his eyes, and rubbed his forehead with his knuckles.
Yan Yiqing maintained a serious demeanor on the other end of the video call, but her tone was somewhat meaningful.
"Brother Xi, you go home as soon as it's time to get off work. You haven't finished your work and you still have to attend video conferences. Isn't that troublesome?"
Xi Chenzhou ignored him and packed his things, preparing to leave the study.
"Brother Xi, are you in such a hurry to go home because... you're keeping a mistress hidden away?"
Xi Chenzhou's gaze instantly turned cold as he gave Yan Yiqing a cold glance.
"You talk too much."
He snapped the laptop shut.
The video call abruptly ended. Yan Yiqing smiled, her cool face expressionless, but deep in her eyes, a playful smile flickered.
Oh, he just complained that I talked too much, but he didn't deny it. It seems... Brother Xi really has a woman!
It's not easy, it's not easy at all. Heaven has finally opened its eyes.
He had been by Xi Ge's side for so many years and had never seen Xi Ge allow any creature that was close to female to get close to him. He was even starting to doubt Xi Ge's sexual orientation. Now that he had finally received this good news, it was something to celebrate!
Yan Yiqing met Xi Chenzhou in junior high school, when Xi Chenzhou had just transferred to the school where he was studying.
Back then, he was the school's top dog. He disliked the taciturn Xi Chenzhou and thought the kid was just showing off, so he led his men to provoke him. Unexpectedly, they were beaten half to death.
The underlings swarmed forward, intending to outnumber the enemy, but Xi Chenzhou easily defeated them all, forcing them to their knees and begging for mercy.
Yan Yiqing immediately understood that this person wasn't just showing off; he was genuinely awesome!
The next day, Yan Yiqing joined Xi Chenzhou's forces and became his subordinate.
From then on, through junior high, high school, university, and studying abroad, he followed Xi Chenzhou, witnessing the rise of the Xi family and Xi Chenzhou's steady rise step by step.
The ZR Ventures they are discussing now is a venture capital firm that Xi Chenzhou founded while he was in college.
