Chapter 17

I didn't expect that the eldest son of the Shen family would come here in person. This is a big project for the Mo family, but for the Shen family it is just an ordinary cooperation. Usually they would invite a manager or supervisor of their company to negotiate, so there wouldn't be such a big fuss.

Mo Keyu, who had just been transferred to a senior position in the company, had no idea why Uncle Lin suddenly became so nervous.

Besides, she had met Shen Mingli before, so there was nothing to be surprised about seeing him. He was a clean person, but he had more gossips about his relatives.

Shen Mingli was accompanied by a few other people. As soon as he came in, the atmosphere around him instantly became serious. Uncle Lin stood up to greet him, and his facial expression became somewhat unnatural.

In fact, Shen Mingli is not much older than Mo Keyu, but for some reason this man has an aura that is inviolable.

[Hey, why isn't everyone talking?]

Mo Keyu had been there with Uncle Lin once or twice before to discuss business, but the atmosphere was never as weird as it was today.

Of all the people present, she was the only one who didn't understand the situation. In front of the Shen family, their Mo family was nothing but a dwarf.

Shen Mingli glanced at Mo Keyu, and Uncle Lin pulled Mo Keyu and motioned her to stand up to show respect to each other.

[Why are Uncle Lin's palms sweating?]

[There is a lot of sweat on my forehead. Is it possible that the people of the Shen family have their own aura that even Uncle Lin is afraid of?]

[Hahahaha, but Uncle Lin is already over fifty, is he still afraid of a guy in his twenties?]

[This! Could this be the legendary aura of kingship?!]

Mo Keyu stared at the group of people opposite with innocent big eyes. Suddenly, someone on the opposite side seemed to chuckle, but the chuckle stopped in less than half a second, and he looked at Shen Mingli with some guilt.

Shen Mingli spoke first: "Don't be shy, sit down."

"Mr. Shen, please take a seat first."

Uncle Lin was very polite to Shen Mingli and did not dare to be disrespectful to him in the slightest.

The other person walked to the table and chairs in just a few steps with his long legs, and his superior body proportions killed everyone in seconds.

[Wow, what long legs!]

Shen Mingli looked at the menu calmly. The people around him were a little confused when they heard the voice. Uncle Lin almost dropped his bowl. Even if he wanted to, he should be reserved. Who knows if the voice would be heard by others.

Mo Keyu's eyes were shining. Last time during the meal, she just ate the watermelon and didn't have time to appreciate the handsome guy.

The straight suit pants he wore today made his legs look even longer. Although the employees following behind him were all tall, their body proportions were ordinary. Standing next to this young master, they looked hideous.

However, the voice did not stop, but became more and more numerous:

[I will also use this standard when looking for a secretary in the future. It’s fine if he’s rich, but he’s also so handsome. How can other people live like this?]

[Wow, last time I was busy eating melons and didn’t understand the good of handsome guy. In a place with many ordinary people, handsome guy becomes even more handsome.]

[I feel unbalanced. How can someone be handsome and rich, yet still be the type to mess around with other people?]

…

“Ahem!”

Uncle Lin coughed loudly, and Mo Keyu turned to look at him with a puzzled look on his face.

That sound also stopped abruptly.

"What do you like to eat?" Shen Mingli raised his eyes slightly and asked.

"It mainly depends on what you like, Mr. Shen. We can do any of them." Uncle Lin said with a smile.

Uncle Lin had said this, so Mo Keyu naturally understood that this was not the time to be casual, so she also said, "It's all right."

[I really want to eat rich shrimp, pepper preserved eggs, Peking duck, golden velvet cake, roasted pigeon, fresh yellow croaker soup, garlic oysters.]

[It would be nice to have some beer with it, it's quite strong.]

[As a side dish, potatoes, eggplant, Chinese yam, and cucumber mixed with coriander are good enough.]

[I don’t know if Shen Mingli likes to eat these. If he likes them, I can eat my favorite dishes.]

[Alas, I hate eating dry food, especially dried fish and fried shrimps.]

[Forget it, it’s someone else’s order anyway, just eat whatever they ordered. After all, it’s a big restaurant, so the dishes they make can’t be that bad.]

Mo Keyu's eyes were fixed on the menu in Shen Mingli's hand. Shen Mingli was sitting opposite her, so she could only look at the cover of the menu.

The other person's slender hand was holding the menu, and the other hand was holding a pen and quickly sketching on it.

[No, this rich young man doesn’t even think before ordering food?]

[But it’s true, they must come here so often that what they order has almost become muscle memory.]

Finally, he handed the menu in his hand to his followers. They looked at it and handed it to Uncle Lin, who praised it a few times:

"Not bad, all very tasteful dishes, worthy of being Mr. Shen."

Shen Mingli remained expressionless in the face of such flattery, and Uncle Lin then handed the menu to the waiter next to him.

While the dishes were being served, the two began to discuss cooperation.

Although everyone was smiling and speaking with honorifics, the atmosphere was extremely unnatural.

They were talking about the benefits that could be gained from cooperation with each other, and Mo Keyu was listening and learning at the same time.

Shen Mingli followed his father to discuss cooperation when he was in his teens. After graduation, he started his own business. Now he is a veteran in the business world. When he met Uncle Lin, who was a generation older than him, his aura was not overshadowed at all. Instead, he overpowered the other person.

In comparison, Mo Keyu felt like he was crushed into dust in seconds. No wonder Old Man Mo was worried, it turned out that other people's children were so outstanding.

After a while, the waiter started to serve them the dishes. The first dish was fresh yellow croaker soup, which smelled so delicious that Mo Keyu almost drooled.

Following behind were golden prawns, roasted pigeons arranged in shapes, and rows of garlic oysters…

The dishes on the table are colorful and carefully designed, they are all her favorite dishes!

[Oh my god, I didn’t expect Shen Mingli to be so classy!]

[It's great that our tastes are so similar.]

[As expected, it is best to eat with someone like Mr. Shen. No wonder he is a business tycoon. His appetite is comparable to that of people who come to discuss cooperation.]

[If it were me, I would also like to cooperate with the Shen family! Excellent! ]

Mo Keyu originally picked up the chopsticks, but when he saw that no one around him was doing anything, he carefully retracted them and waited with everyone else.

No one in the company across the street had started eating, and Uncle Lin, as the elder, didn't start eating either. She felt embarrassed to be the first to start eating.

Shen Mingli curled his lips slightly and said in a low voice: "The dishes are all here, everyone can eat whatever you want."

Mo Keyu picked up his chopsticks and bowl again, and the people around him also started to eat. After someone from the company opposite started eating, the others also began to eat.

All the dishes above are her favorite ones, which makes her very happy.

From what they just discussed, it seems that they have almost reached a consensus and they just need to sign a contract after dinner. However, since Shen Mingli is on the other side, there is a high possibility that they will have long-term cooperation in the future.

"Uncle Lin, please drink more soup. You must work hard and stay healthy." Mo Keyu said, taking the extra bowl and filling a large bowl of soup for Uncle Lin.

Uncle Lin was very touched. He took care of Mo Keyu for a few days and found that he was indeed a good person. Besides, the child was almost the same age as his own child, so sometimes he would be a little more selfish.

Mo Keyu's painting style was out of tune with theirs. The people around her were dressed in suits and had been through many battles. Although she looked serious, her voice directly exposed her true heart. She was simply harmless.

"Ms. Mo, can you allow me to say something off topic?" Shen Mingli looked at Mo Keyu, staring into her eyes.

Mo Keyu still had a shrimp in her mouth. She looked at Shen Mingli and nodded: "Okay."

"Do you have a sister named Mo Xiaoyun?"

"I had a sister in name before, but no longer. Our Mo family doesn't recognize her, and there is no blood relationship between us." Mo Keyu replied.

"So she has nothing to do with you now?" Shen Mingli took a sip of wine, thoughtfully.

"Of course not. She was originally Mr. Wang's daughter. Now her surname is Wang. To be more precise, she is from the Wang family." Mo Keyu was still wondering why the other party mentioned Mo Xiaoyun. When he thought of Mo Xiaoyun holding the note from Mr. Wei with a proud look on his face, he guessed roughly, "Mr. Shen, no matter what she does, it has nothing to do with our Mo family. We don't have any contact now. The Mo family only has me, Mo Keyu, as their daughter."

It's been so long, I guess Wei must have been thirsty for it, so Mo Keyu must have to distance himself from him:

"Also, Mr. Shen, I need to emphasize that Mo Xiaoyun's surname is not Mo now, but Wang. Her name is Wang Xiaoyun, and she is the daughter of Mr. Wang of a certain company."

This can be traced back to more than 20 years ago when Daddy Mo was cuckolded...

After that incident, even the junior employees in the company knew the whole story, and the chairman became the person who was discussed the most in private within the company.

Shen Mingli stared into her eyes. The eldest daughter of the Mo family was very different from those scheming people. Her beautiful almond-shaped eyes blinked with a gleam in them. It was obvious that she was not lying, and she couldn't lie either.

Although Shen Mingli didn't know why he could hear Miss Mo's inner voice, there was no doubt that her inner voice was correct and unconcealed. Even if she lied, her inner heart could not deceive him.

[Hey, is there a grain of rice on my face? Why are you staring at me?]

[Why are you suddenly silent?]

Mo Keyu inadvertently touched his face with his hand. His face was still clean and there was nothing on it.

"Okay, I understand then," he said, retracting his gaze.

Mo Keyu probably guessed that something had happened to Wang Xiaoyun, but it had nothing to do with their Mo family now. If Wang Xiaoyun had a good heart and was nicer to the eldest daughter, he wouldn't have been kicked out of the Mo family after living in the family for decades. It could only be said that he deserved it.

The interview went very smoothly, and the other party even gave the Mo family some concessions.

Uncle Lin didn't expect that the rumored eldest son of the Shen family would be so easy to talk to. He had heard that people who offended him ended up in a terrible situation. Despite this, he didn't dare to neglect him. Maybe it just didn't touch the other party's interests.

The people who followed Shen Mingli out were also confused. First, a strange voice came out of their heads, and then the young master became so amiable that they were really scared. They even thought that the young master had a sex change.

The eldest master never does this. He is well-known for taking advantage of others without blinking an eye.

After seeing the Mo family members leave, Shen Mingli returned to his usual indifference: "Let's go."

"Okay, okay, young master."

The cold, commanding tone still retains its original flavor.

Shen Mingli came here in person today just to see one person, the strange eldest daughter of the Mo family.
