Chapter 349 Do you want me to say it for you, or do you want me to say it for you?
Everyone present was eager to know, and someone immediately asked, "Mr. Shi, why did Archie come to deliver a flower basket to you?"
"Shi Nian, what's your relationship with Archie like?"
"Shi Nian, what's in that envelope?"
...
Seeing their curious expressions, Shi Nian picked up a few words and said.
"Mr. Archie just said that he just happened to be passing by to deliver something to me, and he didn't come here specifically for this purpose."
“Mr. Archie was my father’s former colleague. The last time we met was when my father was still alive.”
However, Shi Nian did not say what was inside the envelope.
She simply watched Archie's Rolls-Royce leave before turning her gaze away.
Seeing that the people present were still asking questions all at once, Shi Nian said, "Don't worry about these things, okay? Today is the opening day of Yi Shi. Let's go to the banquet together later."
After Shi Nian finished speaking, she went inside again.
The group then gave up.
But then these people started talking about it again.
So what is Archie's business trip to City A for?
Is something big about to happen?
Shi Nian returned to her office and told her secretary that she was a little tired and would rest for a while.
Then they went into the inner room.
Shi Nian stared at the familiar envelope, slightly lost in thought.
"What's wrong?" Huo Yanmo came over at some point and asked her, his gaze falling on the envelope.
"I remembered some things from the past," Shi Nian said.
When her father was still alive, everyone would call her Miss Shi whenever they saw her.
Shi Yichen's career in China started relatively late, but his father had a great influence in the United States.
That was a capitalist country, and with my father's abilities back then, countless people wanted to curry favor with him.
As Shi Yichen's only daughter, Shi Nian's status is even more unique.
Suddenly, the scene of her first encounter with Huo Yanmo appeared before her eyes.
She smiled and said, "Speaking of which, the last time I saw Uncle Archie was also the time we met."
Huo Yanmo raised one eyebrow slightly and smiled, "What a coincidence."
Shi Nian nodded.
"Are they friend or foe?" Huo Yanmo continued to ask.
Shi Nian shook her head: "I don't know."
She took the envelope, opened it, and took out what was inside.
"He might have just happened to be passing by and brought my things to me."
After all, my father has been dead for so many years.
When his father passed away, Archie was just a Director, two ranks lower than when his father left MKK.
Shi Nian's expression was somewhat gloomy.
If my father were still alive...
It only took my father four years to become an MD. If he wanted, he could become a partner in no time, but he still wanted to come back, so he returned to City A.
Although he returned to City A, his father still had a large number of businesses in Country M and maintained a good cooperative relationship with MKK.
This was one of the reasons why she went to the United States with her father.
Shi Nian looked up at the rapidly moving clouds outside the office's floor-to-ceiling window.
Dad, what exactly caused your death?
I think of it often.
Huo Yanmo didn't speak; he understood Shi Nian's feelings at that moment.
He's the same way.
If it weren't for Shi Nian and Shi Yichen's help, he might have perished long ago.
Shi Yichen was his benefactor.
Investigating the cause of Shi Yichen's death is of utmost urgency.
Huo Yanmo and Shi Nian looked at the clouds outside the window together, and Huo Yanmo gripped Shi Nian's hand tightly.
Shi Nian didn't turn around to look at Huo Yanmo, but instead gripped his hand tightly.
...
Time passed slowly.
Evening came quickly.
People come and go outside the hotel where Shi Nianding is located.
Because Archie appeared in City A and even sent Shi Nian a flower basket for her opening ceremony, many people began to become curious about Shi Nian.
Some people who originally didn't plan to come might change their minds.
Lu Yanzhi was one of them.
He originally thought that since Shi Nian didn't welcome him, he didn't need to come. He believed that his primary task was to capture Li Yanqing, and then everything else could be discussed.
But now he has changed his mind.
Although he wasn't invited, he still sent a message to Shi Nian.
It's still the same number.
Shi Nian saw the message from Lu Yanzhi while she was in the dressing room.
I'm attending your opening banquet tonight. —Lu Yanzhi
This is a declarative sentence, like a notification, as he always has.
Shi Nian looked at herself in the mirror, and at Huo Yanmo not far away.
Their eyes met in the mirror, and Huo Yanmo walked over: "What's wrong?"
Then, he saw Lu Yanzhi's text messages on her phone.
Huo Yanmo looked at Shi Nian: "What are your thoughts? Should we revise our plan?"
Shi Nian looked out the window at the night scene.
“Our plan remains unchanged,” Shi Nian said. “As for whether he should come or not…”
Shi Nian paused slightly and said, "I'll have my assistant wait for him at the door."
After saying that, Shi Nian blocked the number.
She previously believed that things had come to this point, and both sides could go their separate ways.
Moreover, even if she blocked this number, Lu Yanzhi would just change to another number, so she didn't block it. But now she has changed her mind.
...
On the other side, Lu Yanzhi put away his phone and looked at Lu Xinyi sitting to the side.
Lu Xinyi was a little uneasy.
Earlier, Zhou Zhiyu had informed her to come and see Lu Yanzhi, but she had been putting it off.
Just now, unable to delay any longer, Lu Yanzhi himself sent her a message.
“Brother…” Lu Xinyi stole a glance at Lu Yanzhi, “I only muttered a few words at the door, and only Lu Qi’an and I could hear it. I didn’t say anything bad about Shi Weng in front of anyone outside.”
She had already heard that Zhou Zhiyu had gone to give a warning to those who were speaking ill of her.
This made Lu Xinyi even angrier.
That damned woman, Shi Nian, all she knows is to hide behind other men and let them stand up for her!
She's already with Huo Yanmo, but she's still entangled with her ex-husband in a messy way!
And Lin Xuan too!
Lu Xinyi felt even more resentful.
"That's not what I meant." Just as Lu Xinyi was angrily thinking, Lu Yanzhi spoke up.
"Huh?" Lu Xinyi was stunned. What else could it be but this?
She looked up and saw Lu Yanzhi's sharp eyes. For some reason, Lu Xinyi felt a little guilty.
"What underhanded things have you been up to lately at the Lu Corporation? Tell me yourself, or do you want me to tell you for you?" Lu Yanzhi said coldly.
Lu Xinyi didn't understand what Lu Yanzhi was talking about for a moment. She had so many little tricks up her sleeve that she couldn't even count them all.
Lu Yanzhi understood Lu Xinyi's thoughts when he saw her like this.
He gave a cold laugh.
"I heard you've gathered up all those people who were unwilling to leave with Shi Nian, and you're planning to set up a new investment department?" Lu Yanzhi asked.
Lu Xinyi blinked. She was only in the preparation stage. How did Lu Yanzhi know?
Lu Yanzhi's mockery deepened: "Lu Xinyi, this is the Lu family."
As the president of Lu's Group, Lu Yanzhi sees everything clearly, but he often turns a blind eye to things that aren't too outrageous.
"What do you want to do?" Lu Yanzhi asked. "I told you before that if you want to gain experience, you can choose any of the major securities firms in City A. But don't get any ideas about Shi Nian."
"I didn't," Lu Xinyi said somewhat guiltily. "I was just setting up departments normally, and those people are already doing this kind of work. If they stay at Lu's, there will be relevant departments. Moreover, these people maintain good contact with MKK. Having them is of great benefit to Lu's."
Although she intended to show Lin Xuan that she was the one with real strength.
If only everyone in the Shi family except Shi Nian had stayed back then. They were all very capable, and over the years they had done a lot for the Lu family, especially their very close relationship with MKK.
Lu Yanzhi frowned, gave Lu Xinyi a deep look, and said, "Xinyi, you can't control her."
"Stop early, and you can still save face."
