The items that Cyria brought were certainly not ordinary.
“Thank you, Miss Ryan. Actually, it’s already a great honor for me that you came to see me. There’s no need to bring such a precious gift.” Shi Nanxing gestured for him to come. “Let’s go to the main hall.”
His courtyard was certainly not a place for entertaining guests.
“Okay, Uncle.” Xiliya nodded, took Jiang Ning’s hand, and followed Shi Nanxing.

On the other side.
Shi Mubai and Tang An returned to the villa.
Almost as soon as he returned to the villa, Shi Mubai received a phone call. He didn't know what was being said on the other end of the screen, but he immediately replied, "Okay, I'll go to the study right away."
After saying that, Shi Mubai hung up the phone and looked at Tang An, "An'an, I called the housekeeper to cook lunch. You can eat as soon as it's ready. You don't need to wait for me. I'm rushing to finish a design draft."
Besides being a cartoonist, Shi Mubai also runs a large jewelry company with his friends.
Shi Mubai is currently working with the design department to create a design for an award.
If we can win the first prize, the company will not only be able to go public, but also become one of the top 10 companies in the jewelry industry.
There were several hundred companies participating in the competition.
Therefore, this design draft is very important.
Otherwise, Shi Mubai would not have personally participated in the design.
Tang An nodded obediently, "Okay, Brother Mu Bai, I understand."
After saying that, Shi Mubai turned and walked upstairs.
Tang An frowned slightly as he watched Shi Mubai's retreating figure.
Design draft?
What kind of design draft could make Shi Mubai take it so seriously?
Although Shi Mubai said he wouldn't come downstairs for lunch, when it was lunchtime, Tang An stood at the door of the study and knocked, "Brother Mubai, lunch is ready."
Shi Mubai was busy at his computer when he heard this. "An'an, I'm not hungry right now. You eat first."
"Brother Mubai, food is essential for life. You'll get hungry if you don't eat. How can you not eat?" Tang An paused for a moment, then continued, "Brother Mubai, how about I bring the food to your study?"
Shi Mubai was really too busy to leave right now, "Alright then, thank you for your trouble, An'an."
Tang An immediately went downstairs to prepare the meal.
A few minutes later, Tang An reappeared in front of the study door and knocked. "Brother Mu Bai, I'm coming in."
"An'an, come in."
Shi Mubai was wearing headphones, looking at the design while chatting with his partner on the other side of the screen. This design was a collaborative effort between him and his partner.
Hearing the noise coming from Mu Bai's side, the partner asked, "Mu Bai, who are you talking to?"
“My sister,” Shi Mubai said.
"Cousin?" The partner had long heard that Shi Mubai had a cousin with whom he had a particularly close relationship.
“Yes.” Shi Mubai nodded.
The partner then asked, "Are you just going to let her into your study?"
"Mm." Shi Mubai nodded.
The partner frowned slightly and continued, "Mu Bai, you know how important this manuscript is! Many companies are eyeing us covetously! Even though she's your sister, you still need to be careful."
Although the partner didn't say the meaning directly, it was quite clear.
Shi Mubai wasn't stupid; he naturally understood the meaning behind those words.
For a moment, Shi Mubai was somewhat unhappy.
He dislikes seeing anyone question or tarnish Tang An's reputation the most!
"Chengze, don't talk nonsense!" Shi Mubai lowered his voice, "An'an is my own sister!"
Although Tang An and Shi Mubai are not related by blood, in Shi Mubai's heart, they are like brother and sister.
"Your cousin is only a quarter blood relative, right?" Qi Chengze continued, "Don't even mention a cousin who's only a quarter blood relative, I'm wary of even my own sister! You'd better be careful too!"
This design is the culmination of more than six months of their hard work.
It concerns the company's future.
Finally, Qi Chengze added, "Mu Bai, do you know what? Someone outside is already offering 60 million to get our design drawings!"
Sixty million?
Hearing this, Shi Mubai's lips curled into a smile, "Don't even mention a mere 60 million, even if you gave An'an 600 million, An'an would never betray her brother."
