When Shi Xi arrived at the Shi family's old house, she saw a young man having tea with Grandpa Shi.
Grandpa Shi beamed with joy, as if he had witnessed the national football team winning the championship.
"Hello, Grandpa." Shi Xi immediately put on a polite and friendly smile.
Actor's training.
Upon seeing Shi Xu's name, the young man stood up and said, "Happy New Year, Mr. Shi."
Shi Xu nodded slightly. "Sit down and let's talk."
Shi Xi wondered to herself, "Which company's employees are so dedicated that they're still trying to curry favor during the first month of the lunar year?"
"You've arrived just in time," Grandpa Shi introduced, "Xixi, this is Zhou Yi, the vice president of the Shi Group."
Zhou Yi, this is my good-for-nothing granddaughter, Shi Xi.
Shi Xi wanted to roll her eyes.
Who's incompetent?!
"Vice President Zhou has become a vice president at such a young age, he is truly accomplished at such a young age," Shi Xi said politely through gritted teeth.
"It's Mr. Shi's kind offer," Zhou Yi said modestly to Shi Xi. "I used to work in the publicity department, and every time Miss Shi participated in an advertising campaign, she broke industry records."
Shi Xi's eyes crinkled into a smile. "Really? I hadn't noticed that before."
The simple-minded Shi Xi just likes to hear nice things.
Grandpa Shi poured cold water on the idea, saying, "Going to act in a play can break industry records?"
“Mr. Shi, we are now in the era of new media…” Zhou Yi earnestly analyzed for Grandpa Shi.
Although Grandpa Shi didn't care, Shi Xi's opinion of Zhou Yi changed after hearing this.
He's able to adapt to the times and embrace new things; no wonder he became a vice president at such a young age.
Indeed, appearances can be deceiving.
Shi Xi originally thought that Zhou Yi was a sycophant.
What did Grandpa mean by calling her to dinner?
Shi Xi couldn't figure it out.
Grandpa Shi pretended to be sleepy and said to Shi Xi, "Take Zhou Yi for a walk in the garden and get to know him better."
Hearing this, Shi Xi roughly understood:
Grandpa is setting her up on a blind date!
Shi Xi wanted to say something, but Grandpa Shi had already stood up.
Grandpa Shi: "Oh dear, when you get old, you just can't sit for long periods of time."
Zhou Yi helped Grandpa Shi up, saying, "Let me help you to rest."
Grandpa Shi: "You are a guest, how can a guest take care of me?"
"Shixu, come and help me. Xixi, you take the guests for a walk in the garden."
Even a blind person could see that this was deliberately created to create an environment for the two of them to spend time together.
Shi Xi had no choice but to take Zhou Yi to the garden, saying, "Grandpa likes to plant flowers and grass, and he planted all of this."
“Mr. Shi has a wide range of interests,” Zhou Yi echoed.
Shi Xi glanced at Zhou Yi, speechless.
She wasn't a social butterfly to begin with, and having only known Zhou Yi for a few minutes, they had absolutely nothing to talk about.
Zhou Yi, however, spoke up directly.
Zhou Yi laughed heartily and introduced his family background first: "I am an orphan and have always been supported by the Shi family. After growing up, I joined the Shi Group. I am fortunate to have the care of Chairman Shi, which is why I have reached my current position."
"It must be because you are very outstanding that Grandpa values you so much," Shi Xi replied with a light smile.
The two strolled and chatted casually in the garden.
Zhou Yi climbed up from the bottom and is good at observing others.
He works for the Shi Group, so it's inevitable that he'll have some interaction with Shi Xi's Kuai Xue Entertainment.
The two talked about work and were able to have a decent conversation.
...
upstairs.
Grandpa Shi and Shi Xu stood on the windowsill, watching the two walking side by side from afar.
Grandpa Shi pondered for a moment, then slowly asked, "What do you think about Zhou Yi marrying into our Shi family?"
