Shi Xing thought to himself that he was really busy; he had just appeased two people and now another one had come along.
But she wasn't going to tolerate this: "If you don't tell me, I'm hanging up."
Shen Que on the other end of the line panicked: "No, no, no, I just wanted to ask Xingxing if you were having fun in the capital?"
"Oh, you're quite interested in my schedule."
Shi Xing did not keep her trip a secret. People who knew her posted photos of their encounter online, and her IP address was not turned off, so anyone who paid attention could find out that she had arrived in the capital.
"I wasn't joking when I said I wanted to be Xingxing's lover."
Shen Que spoke with a grin, his tone rather nonchalant.
He has indeed been frequently trying to make his presence known to Tokiyuki lately, but Tokiyuki has not given a clear answer.
She just loves it when the other person knows her situation but is still willing to come to her and let her have her way.
Everyone says that Jiang Taigong fishes and those who are willing will take the bait, so why doesn't she count?
Shi Xing poked at 099 in her mind: "Is there something wrong with my script?"
099's mind went blank; she thought she knew something.
After a moment of silence, it blinked its large electronic eyes and said, "You deserve it. Look at you, you're good-looking, incredibly rich, and you're skilled in so many things. You're a better racer than him, so it's not surprising that he likes you."
Shi Xing thought that since some men who are neither rich nor good-looking have affairs, it's normal for a beautiful and wealthy woman like her to have admirers.
"you're right."
099 breathed a sigh of relief, but it was telling the truth, so there was nothing to be ashamed of.
She laughed at Shen Que: "What's gotten into you, a young master from the Shen Group, that you'd come here to be my lover?"
This is quite a peculiar habit.
Shen Que clicked his tongue lightly: "If I could, I would still prefer to be your official boyfriend."
Shi Xing thought about it and realized that a partner, boyfriend, lover, or spouse doesn't necessarily have to be the same person.
"That's all for now, bye."
Shen Que wanted to say something more, but the call was disconnected.
Because Xu Bai came in.
He picked Shi Xing up from the sofa and said, "Miss, let's go to bed."
Shi Xing wrapped her arms around his neck and pressed herself against him, saying, "Mmm."
She stayed here for almost half a month. Ding Xinwan often came to visit her, and even Tan Sinian would occasionally have a meal with them.
At first, the upper echelons of the capital were all curious about who this person was, but when they saw that it was none other than Shi Xing, who had recently become a sensation.
Her company's value has been rising steadily, and it has even gained exposure in the media. Now, its projects are receiving significant support.
Everyone knows the decisions she made; to achieve so much at such a young age, she is no ordinary person.
Because we didn't have her contact information, and even her assistant wasn't around, we couldn't find a way to contact her.
As a result, the socialites and heiresses who became acquainted with Ding Xinwan were all invited by her family to befriend her.
Ding Xinwan was also extremely annoyed. Shi Xing had clearly stated that this trip was purely for relaxation and vacation, and he would not be working.
Is socializing a kind of job?
However, she didn't dare to refuse on behalf of Tokiyuki, so she had to tell Tokiyuki about it.
Sitting in the restaurant, Ding Xinwan sighed: "Xingxing, recently many small families in the capital want to meet you and ask me to introduce them. Should I refuse or agree?"
Those who want to befriend her are all small families in the capital; the big families don't currently take Shi Xing seriously.
It's also possible that he's unwilling to lower himself to "please" her, a young entrepreneur.
Shi Xing smiled and put down her wine glass: "Since we're here for a vacation to relax, these things are naturally included. You can refuse them for me."
Her small family background wasn't enough for her to meet and befriend each one individually, which would only lower her social standing.
To be honest, with her current net worth far exceeding that of some "upper-class" wealthy families in the capital, she has no need to do these things.
Those so-called "upper-class elites" look down on her now, but that may not be the case in the future.
Soon her holographic technology will be unveiled, and who will dare to underestimate her?
This answer was exactly what Ding Xinwan had expected, and she wasn't surprised at all.
"Okay, then I'll go back and refuse them."
"Yes, but I'd like to trouble you to write them down for me so I can invite them to get together sometime in the future."
Ding Xinwan nodded: "What's the trouble? Leave it to me."
After spending a month here, Shi Xing and Xu Bai returned to Shanghai.
On the day they returned by private plane, Ding Xinwan and Tan Sinian saw them off.
"Mr. Shi, we apologize for the poor hospitality this time. Please come again next time."
"Mr. Tan, you're too kind. We're all friends. Just call me by my name."
Tan Sinian smiled gently, his handsome features instantly coming to life: "Okay, Shi Xing. Then don't call me Mr. Tan anymore, just call me Sinian."
Shi Xing obediently called out, "Then you can go back now, we're going in."
"Goodbye, Xingxing! Come visit again next time you have time!" Ding Xinwan gave her a light hug.
"Yes, I'll be coming back to the capital soon."
"Hmm?" Ding Xinwan asked, puzzled.
Shi Xing didn't explain, and entered the private passage with Xu Bai.
Her article about "artificial bionic eyes," which she submitted to Nature, has already been approved, and it will be featured in the latest issue.
They will mail her a journal.
Upon arriving in Shanghai, Jiang Xunzhi, who had already received news of her return, took a day off to pick her up, along with Su Xian.
Su Xian squeezed out time to finish today's work ahead of schedule, making time to meet Shi Xing.
The two met at the airport and naturally knew each other's relationship with Shi Xing.
Jiang Xunzhi watched him grit his teeth and glared at him several times.
However, Su Xian completely ignored him. Although he knew the other person was glaring at him, he wasn't the type to argue back, so he just silently walked to the side and pretended not to notice.
The two were some distance apart, and Su Xian waited expressionlessly to the side, intently watching the exit.
Su Xian watched him grit his teeth, like a small animal baring its fangs and claws.
This is the scene that Shi Xing saw when he came out.
Her lips twitched; she looked somewhat helpless.
Su Xian, with her eyes closed, immediately saw Shi Xing's figure and hurriedly approached.
Upon seeing his movements, Jiang Xunzhi turned around and saw Shi Xing and Xu Bai walking side by side. He put on a big smile and ran over quickly.
"Xingxing! You're back! I missed you so much!"
He was faster than Su Xian, who was walking quickly, and in a few steps he rushed to Shi Xing and reached out to hug her.
Shi Xing had no choice but to hug him back, and then let go.
The faint smile on Su Xian's face vanished completely, and she slowed her pace, finally stopping three meters away from Shi Xing.
Shi Xing let go of Jiang Xunzhi and looked at him: "Aren't you going to hug me?"
As she spoke, she walked towards him and opened her arms. Su Xian's eyes lit up with a sparkling light, and he strode towards her and hugged her tightly.
The familiar fragrance filled his nostrils, and a warm, soft body embraced him.
Even though he was much taller than the other person, he felt that the other person was the one who made him feel completely safe.
