"You flatter me. It's just that my memory is a little better."
With a slightly stiff smile, Chi Yuan lowered his head and continued peeling the unfinished pomegranate.
"How is your brother doing lately? Please give him my regards."
Shen Yulou listlessly picked up pomegranates one by one and stuffed them into his mouth. Finally, finding it too slow to eat like that, he grabbed a handful, tilted his head back, and tossed them into his mouth.
Is the fox's tail showing?
A look of alert flashed in Chi Yuan's eyes as he pondered to himself.
"My brother is doing well lately."
"Really? I was just about to ask your brother what he thought about the implementation of the new economic plan."
“Your Juwei Technology is an industry benchmark.”
"It's a pity that I've never found an opportunity."
Before he could finish speaking, he smiled and reached out, pretending to snatch the pomegranate that Chi Yuan was peeling from his hand.
"No need for Minister Shen to trouble himself."
Chi Yuan instinctively pulled his arm back, then continued what he was doing as if nothing had happened.
"The benefits of the New Economy Plan to innovative technology companies are obvious to all, so my brother is naturally very satisfied."
Unfortunately, Shen Yulou was not satisfied with this answer. He wanted to continue asking questions, seemingly determined not to give up until he got what he wanted.
"Really? Your brother told you?"
"I did say that."
The nasal breathing is particularly noticeable when the smile is insincere, and paired with a brief answer, it seems sincere even without much thought.
In reality... it's a lie.
Of course, Shen Yulou didn't expose him.
"Although I own shares in Juwei Technology Group, I am also the second son of the Visla family."
"But as you also know, the core decision-making power in the Visla family is highly concentrated in the hands of my brother."
"He knows more about the big and small matters of the group and the family than I do. I'm just someone who lives off the family's name."
Chi Yuan put down the pomegranate in his hand and spread his hands, adopting an attitude of complete openness.
"If you'd like to learn more about our group, perhaps I can arrange a meeting with my brother for you?"
He decided to hand over the hot potato of Shen Yulou to his brother to handle, because if they continued talking, Chi Yuan was really afraid that he would be tricked into saying something he shouldn't have.
"Hehehe, it's not necessarily a bad idea."
Shen Yulou covered his mouth with his hand and laughed awkwardly.
“But I’m not interested in your brother; I’m more interested in you.”
These ambiguous words sparked a lot of speculation, and Chi Yuan's heart skipped a beat.
"Really? I'm so happy!"
"We've been chatting for so long, I forgot to take a photo and get an autograph. How about we take one now?"
Chi Yuan stood up first and took out his phone from his pocket.
Where are you going?
Just as Chi Yuan was about to walk to the door with his phone in hand, Shen Yulou turned around and blankly popped a pomegranate into his mouth.
"Go find someone to take our picture."
"No need, we can just take a selfie. It's too much trouble to ask someone else to take it."
Chi Yuan opened his mouth weakly, but Shen Yulou, who strode over, snatched his phone away.
"Use your phone to take the picture, mine is overly sharpened."
After saying that, Shen Yulou pulled him to the window, raised his phone, pulled out his sunglasses from his collar and put them back on. His pose for taking pictures was so practiced that Chi Yuan didn't even have time to react.
"Smile, be friendly."
Chi Yuan was held hostage and his movements were stiff. He had to be careful about the distance between himself and Shen Yulou when taking pictures, and he also had to make sure that no strange expression appeared on his face.
Do you think it looks good?
After adjusting his pose and pressing the shutter a few times, Shen Yulou brought up the photos he had taken to show them.
Looking at his own fake smile, Chi Yuan could only nod against his conscience.
"It's beautiful, so beautiful."
"Then let's add each other as friends and you can send me the photos."
Chi Yuan pursed his lips, and hesitated imperceptibly as he took Shen Yulou's phone.
Is it better to send the message remotely using a device, or do we actually need to add each other as friends?
Fine, let's give the Minister of Finance some face.
He eventually obediently revealed his software ID.
Do you use this account often?
"There are quite a few. This is my main account, and I usually use this account for my social media posts."
