Around noon, Chen Shihhan followed Mu Zhixin, the boss of Lingsi Technology, into private room number 888 of Zhenxiu Pavilion.
But to Chen Shih-han's surprise, a young couple she had never met before were already waiting in the private room.
"Boss, who are these two?"
"Oh, let me introduce you."
Mu Zhixin pointed to the young man, "His name is Qi Wende, and he's my best friend who grew up with me."
Mu Zhixin gestured towards the woman with his lip, "This beautiful lady is Zhang Mingmei, my classmate when I was doing my master's degree at Jiaotong University in the ancient city."
“Wen De, Ming Mei, and standing next to me is Chen Shih-Han. She is my most capable assistant. Ling Si Technology’s current achievements are largely due to Shih-Han’s contributions.”
Qi Wende stood up and said, "So you are Chen Shihhan? I've heard Zhixin mention you before, and seeing you today, I can confirm that your reputation is well-deserved."
Zhang Mingmei chimed in, "Not only is Shihan exceptionally capable, but she's also stunningly beautiful. She's truly a woman who rivals any man!"
"You two are too kind."
Chen Shihhan responded with a sentence, then looked at Mu Zhixin with a questioning gaze.
Didn't you make it very clear yourself?
This afternoon, I need to introduce an investor to Mu Zhixin.
Why did Mu Zhixin act like he was having a reunion with old friends?
"Shihan, it's like this."
Mu Zhixin explained, “Attracting investment is a big deal. The reason I called Wende and Mingmei here is twofold: first, to give me support, and second, to have them serve as my think tank.”
"Don't let their age fool you; they're all under thirty, just like me. But they're far superior to me in both education and business achievements."
Chen Shih-Han nodded in sudden understanding, "So that's how it is."
"Boss, judging by the time, the investors should be arriving soon."
"Please sit down, I'll go outside to greet him."
After saying that, Chen Shih-han walked out of the private room.
The moment Chen Shihhan disappeared, Mu Zhixin clasped his hands in a fist salute to Qi Wende and Zhang Mingmei and said, "Brother Qi, Sister Zhang, you must help me out and put in a good word for me. Whether I can win the heart of this beauty depends on your performance."
"If I remember correctly, this is the first time you've ever humbled yourself before me."
Zhang Mingmei rolled her eyes and said, "Just how pathetic are you to lower yourself for a woman?"
"To be honest, I fell in love with Shihan at first sight. Otherwise, I wouldn't have hired her into the company right after she graduated and given her the position of vice president."
Mu Zhixin said sincerely, "As long as you can give me the perfect assist and help me and her become a couple, I'm willing to humble myself before you, or even be your pawn in the future!"
"Are you really that infatuated with her?"
Zhang Mingmei pursed her lips, her expression showing jealousy.
She had expressed her love to Mu Zhixin more than once, but each time Mu Zhixin rejected her, citing that he was too busy with his career and had no interest in romance.
In truth, Zhang Mingmei knew better than anyone else that being busy with her career and having no interest in romance were all just excuses.
To put it bluntly, Mu Zhixin just thinks he's ugly!
On the surface, Mu Zhixin appears refined and easygoing, maintaining the image of a kind and easy-going person, but deep down he is a very proud and picky person.
Especially when it comes to choosing a partner, Mu Zhixin's requirements are ridiculously high.
Not only must they be intelligent, but they must also come from a good family and be stunningly beautiful.
Like Mu Zhixin and Qi Wende, Zhang Mingmei comes from a merchant family. Her ability to be admitted to the graduate program at Jiaotong University in the ancient city proves that she is exceptionally intelligent.
But her appearance is the opposite of her name; it's hard to describe.
Mu Zhixin simply couldn't bring himself to kiss her, which is why he stuck to his bottom line and was unwilling to cross the line from pure friendship to "lip" friendship with her.
"I'm not infatuated with her."
Mu Zhixin gave a self-deprecating laugh, "To be precise, without her, I don't know how to live."
"You're so cheesy!"
Qi Wende said, "Isn't today's main task to attract investment for your LingSi Technology? Why are you so focused on picking up girls?"
"There's nothing I can do. I've asked Shih-Han out privately many times, but she always makes up various excuses to avoid having dinner with me."
Mu Zhixin sighed, "I want to take this opportunity to kill two birds with one stone: investment, I want it, and girl, I want her too."
Zhang Mingmei spat and said, "Men are all greedy creatures, that's absolutely true."
"Zhixin, have you finished your intelligence work?"
Qi Wende ignored Zhang Mingmei's jealousy and joked with a smile, "A girl like Chen Shihhan, who has both good looks and a great figure, shouldn't have no shortage of suitors, right?"
"If you consider her a perfect match, and then she shows up in front of you with her boyfriend..."
"Then you'll become the laughingstock of our rich second-generation circle in the ancient city!"
Mu Zhixin shook his head. "Don't worry, I've already inquired. Shihan has never been in a relationship. You want to laugh at me? You'll have to wait until your next life!"
"Knock knock knock!"
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
Mu Zhixin quickly suppressed his smile, got up, and opened the door to the private room.
The next second, Chen Shihhan's delicate face appeared before Mu Zhixin.
"Shihan, you're back?"
Mu Zhixin asked, "Weren't you going to greet the investor? Where is he?"
Chen Shihhan moved aside, making way for Chen Feng behind her.
"Um?"
The three people, including Mu Zhixin, were all dumbfounded.
In their minds, investors these days are all middle-aged people over forty.
But why does this kid look younger than us rich kids?
However, what truly shocked the three of them was yet to come.
"Boss, this is the investor I was talking about, he..."
As Chen Shih-han spoke, she reached out her hand, trying to take Chen Feng's arm.
But Chen Feng forcefully swung his arm and pushed Chen Shihhan's hand away.
"Forehead……"
Chen Shih-han originally wanted to say that Chen Feng was her biological younger brother, but seeing Chen Feng's disgusted look, she had no choice but to suppress her embarrassment and change her words to, "His name is Chen Feng."
Chen Shihhan wasn't blind; she could naturally see that Chen Feng despised her and was unwilling to acknowledge her as his older sister.
"..."
Mu Zhixin's lips twitched violently.
Oh no, I'm really going to become a laughing stock.
After all, only couples would do such an intimate gesture as linking arms with someone of the opposite sex, right?
Chen Shih-han did not bring in an investor for LingSi Technology, which was facing financial difficulties.
She clearly slapped herself hard in front of her two friends!
As the saying goes, concern leads to confusion. Neither Mu Zhixin, Qi Wende, nor Zhang Mingmei noticed that Chen Feng and Chen Shihhan were from the same clan, nor did they notice the similarity in their facial features.
