Chapter 16 The Crown Prince Has Emerged from Seclusion



The city center of Jingnan is some distance from the research institute, and traffic in Jingnan is always congested.

The limited-edition sports car appeared in the bustling city center at exactly 5 p.m.

A striking head of blond hair and a limited-edition sports car.

There was also a stunningly beautiful woman in the passenger seat.

There's a saying that a beautiful woman is a must-have in the passenger seat of a luxury car.

Along the way, the two had already attracted a lot of attention from other drivers.

While waiting for Zhang Youye to head to the parking lot, he was surrounded by a lot of stares, with some passersby even taking out their phones to take videos and photos.

The discussion continued unabated, and Shu Yi helplessly rubbed her forehead.

"Your Highness, you're quite the attention-grabber."

Having long been accustomed to the stares and whispers of passersby, Zhang Youye remained silent, only casually tugging at the corners of his mouth.

The title "Prince of Jingquan".

Everyone in Jingnan knows it.

Everyone in Jingnan knows that the young master owns several extremely luxurious supercars, but for some reason, he seems to have rarely appeared in the city center in recent years.

The surrounding discussion continued loudly as a busybody posted a photo of the sports car online.

It did not exceed five minutes.

A barrage of replies followed.

[Holy crap! The young master has returned?! Where is he?! Give me the coordinates!]

This is the city center! Judging by the looks of it, the young master is probably heading to the shopping mall his family owns, right?

[Wait, wait, wait! Who's in the passenger seat? Holy crap, she's so beautiful!]

[Wow! Is that beautiful woman in the passenger seat a celebrity? This is juicy gossip! Check it out!]

Online discussions and debates among passersby are in full swing.

The two parties involved were completely unaware.

After circling around the parking garage of his own shopping mall for a long time without finding a parking space, Zhang Youye had no choice but to take out his phone and call the mall manager.

After explaining the situation, Zhang Youye hung up the phone and said helplessly, "That's how it is when there are a lot of people; it's hard to find a parking space. Let's wait here for a bit, and the manager will come over soon; we can just give him the keys."

After sitting in the car for a long time, Shu Yi felt a bit sore all over. She gave a soft "hmm" and opened the door to drive the car.

Standing beside the car, she rubbed her sore neck.

"I didn't expect the city center to be so far from the Shu family. Jingnan is really much bigger than Jiacheng."

Zhang Youye's driver didn't come to the Shu family's house today; he was exhausted from driving all the way.

After smoking for so long, he finally craved a cigarette. He walked to a trash can on the side, flicked on a lighter, and lit a cigarette.

"To be honest, it's been a long time since I've been here. Actually, I prefer Jiaxing to Jingnan. My second uncle personally went to Jiaxing yesterday to bring me back overnight so I could have dinner at your house."

I can't believe he only came back yesterday. It seems this meal is really important to the Zhang family.

It won't really be as they said outside the Moon-Plundering Hall.

In a few days, her grandfather would talk to her about the family's arranged marriage and ask her if she was willing.

Thinking of this, Shu Yi was about to ask a question when she suddenly heard a series of hurried footsteps beside her ear.

far away.

The mall manager ran up to the two of them, panting.

Before he could even catch his breath, he hurriedly took the car keys from Zhang Youye's hand and respectfully explained.

"Young master, why didn't you call ahead before you came? I could have prepared a parking space for you in advance. It's the weekend, so there are a lot of people around, making it difficult to find a parking space."

Turning his head and exhaling a puff of smoke, Zhang Youye adopted the airs of a young master and introduced Shu Yi, who was standing beside him, to the manager.

"It's alright. This is Old Master Shu's granddaughter, the second young lady of the Shu family. Tell all the staff to be mindful of how they address her when they see her."

Last night, I learned from an internal email from core employees that the Shu family had brought their granddaughter back home after many years away.

The manager had heard about the generations-long marriage alliance between the Shu and Zhang families during a previous high-level meeting.

Just like Wei Bo had done before, the manager hunched his back, bowed, and then respectfully called out.

"Hello, Ms. Shuyi."

It's surprising that even the employees in these large family businesses are so well-mannered.

Shu Yi smiled slightly and responded politely.

"Hello, manager."

“Alright, park the car for me, I’ll take her for a drive around.” Zhang Youye interjected at the opportune moment.

Watching the two turn and leave side by side, the manager picked up the walkie-talkie from his pocket and ordered everyone to be on standby: "Young Master and Miss Shu are here. All departments, be alert. It's the weekend, and there will be a huge flow of people. Don't make any mistakes."

As he walked out of the garage, Zhang Youye deliberately slowed his pace so that he could walk side by side with Shu Yi.

He led her to the staff elevator, pressed the floor button, and heard her voice in his ear.

"Even your employees are so polite, have you ever given them etiquette classes?"

"It's not that exaggerated."

Helpless, she leaned against the wall inside the elevator and waited for it to go up to the first floor of the mall.

Zhang Youye raised his fingertip and casually pointed to the various shops outside the transparent glass.

“Most of these businesses don’t know us. In family businesses, apart from some core employees who know our identity, these businesses and ordinary employees don’t have the opportunity to get to know us.”

While waiting in the underground parking lot, Shu Yi noticed the advertisements and posters on the wall.

She then remembered the news she had seen on TV and realized that she was in the center of the shopping mall.

It seems to be the shopping mall with the highest foot traffic in Jingnan, and also the largest shopping mall in Jingnan, without exception.

Recalling the information about the Shu family's industrial chain, Shu Yi withdrew her gaze from outside the elevator and turned to meet Zhang Youye's gentle gaze.

"You should take me to the Shu Family Shopping Mall."

bite--

The elevator reached the second floor.

Embarrassed, Zhang Youye scratched the back of his head and, mimicking her earlier actions, held the elevator door open with his palm facing outwards.

"It's too late today, I'll wait for you next time. Ladies first, please go ahead."

Perhaps it was his blond hair that was too eye-catching.

Even with such a gentlemanly demeanor, Shu Yi still felt that he was like a hooligan.

Suppressing her laughter, she quickly stepped out of the elevator so he wouldn't notice.

Not long after I left the elevator, the mall manager suddenly appeared from some corner, holding two cups of coffee.

"Young Master, Miss Shuyi, would you like me to show you around somewhere?"

Taking the coffee from him, Zhang Youye estimated that it should be about time and raised his hand to check the time.

"No need. Has Ah Mo arrived yet?"

"He arrived a while ago and is currently at the mall entrance. Are you looking for him?" the manager asked.

"Okay." Nodding, Zhang Youye handed another cup of coffee to Shu Yi. "Amo is my brother. We haven't seen each other in a long time. Come with me to find him first? If you get hungry later, we can go upstairs to eat, okay?"

Since we're just wandering around, we can go anywhere.

Shu Yi nodded: "Anything is fine, I have no objection."
