On the other side, inside the room.
Shi Miao took off her coat and casually draped it over the chair, then took her phone and walked to the single sofa by the window to sit down.
She leaned back slightly, casually resting on the sofa, unlocked her phone, and sent a message to Ji Yanchen on WeChat.
What are you doing, Teacher Ji?
Ji Yanchen didn't reply; instead, he initiated a video call.
Upon seeing this, Shi Miao raised her delicate eyebrows slightly and then pressed the answer button.
The next second, Ji Yanchen's handsome face appeared on the phone screen.
The man had probably just come out of the shower; his bathrobe was loosely tied, revealing a large expanse of his well-defined, muscular chest.
Water droplets were still dripping from his slightly messy hair, and water droplets were also on his collarbone and exposed chest. He also had a freshly lit cigarette in his mouth, making him look both ascetic and alluring.
Ji Yanchen took a drag of his cigarette, held it between his fingers, looked at the girl in the picture, a faint smile in his eyes, and his deep, magnetic voice sounded softly, "Just got back?"
Shi Miao's gaze lingered on his strong, muscular chest for a few seconds before quickly looking away. She coughed and said, "Ah, right."
Ji Yanchen exhaled a smoke ring, his appearance somewhat distorted by the swirling smoke, and asked with a smile, "What is the final assessment task?"
Shi Miao nestled lazily on the sofa, her face captivating and her eyes sparkling. "Guess?"
Ji Yanchen raised an eyebrow slightly, leaned forward, and stubbed out the cigarette between his fingers in the ashtray. "Aren't you going to give me a hint?"
Shi Miao tilted her head and thought for a moment. Her clear, bright eyes were pure and strikingly beautiful. "It's related to you."
Ji Yanchen narrowed his eyes slightly, pondered for a few seconds, and then slowly voiced his guess, "Cooperation with our organization?"
Shi Miao snapped his fingers, his dark eyes concealing his arrogance, and teased, "It still has to be our Teacher Ji."
Ji Yanchen chuckled softly, his deep eyes filled with doting affection, and his tone was gentle and low, "I'll have Fu Xi come forward to sign the contract with you then."
Shi Miao smiled and said, "Mm."
......
The next morning, Manager Zhen brought the relevant documents and contracts to the Shi family manor again.
Butler Shi arranged for Manager Zhen to stay in a side hall. When Shi Miao arrived, Manager Zhen was pacing back and forth in the hall with a look of anxiety on his face.
When Manager Zhen saw Shi Miao approaching, he immediately stopped and nodded to her, "Young Miss."
Shi Miao gave a faint "hmm," pointed to the sofa, and gestured for him to sit down.
Although Manager Zhen was anxious, he patiently sat down and slowly said, "Miss, I came here to tell you about the cooperation with the King organization in advance."
The situation in the no-man's-land of M continent was quite complicated. Manager Zhen thought about it all night but couldn't come up with any other solutions, so he had no choice but to accept reality and come over to discuss it with Miao.
He took a stack of documents out of his briefcase and placed them in front of Shi Miao, hoping she could read them before she left.
I don't expect her to fully understand the contents of the documents, I just hope that when we go to the King organization to sign the contract in a couple of days, she can handle things on the spot. She can't be completely clueless when asked questions.
"Alright, thank you for coming all this way, Manager Zhen." Shi Miao nodded slightly and picked up the documents, beginning to flip through them page by page.
Seeing the girl looking at the book so intently, Manager Zhen suddenly felt much more at ease. He smiled and said, "Of course, Miss, you can ask me if you encounter anything you don't understand."
Upon hearing this, Shi Miao looked up at him, then lowered her eyes again and continued flipping through the book, responding softly, "Yes, I know."
......
Manager Zhen didn't stay there for long before leaving.
To his surprise, Shi Miao was not just a brute force as he had imagined.
I was surprised that I could not only remember these materials quickly, but also point out the problems or shortcomings.
This is hardly the behavior of someone who has never dealt with family affairs before; it's no exaggeration to say that she completely surpasses Ms. Shi Ying.
Now he was truly convinced by Shi Miao, and the last bit of anxiety in his heart dissipated, giving him a sense of reassurance.
Suddenly remembering what the head of the family had said to him before he left last night, he realized what was going on.
No wonder the head of the family refused to interfere and help the young lady. It seems that he already knew about the young lady's ability to handle things, which is why he felt at ease letting her take on this task.
If Shi Jing knew that Manager Zhen was so prone to overthinking, he would really like to tell him that it was simply because his precious daughter wouldn't let him help, and he was also helpless about it.
Not long after Manager Zhen's car left the Shi family manor, it was stopped by another car on the way.
"Go down and see what's going on," Manager Zhen frowned and instructed the driver.
The driver nodded and just as he opened the car door to get out, people from the opposite car came over and knocked on the back window.
Manager Zhen slowly lowered the car window, turned his head to look at the man in a black suit standing outside, and seemed to recognize him. "Are you one of Third Master's men?"
The man nodded. "Third Master would like to invite you to the car for a chat."
Manager Zhen glanced at the car parked in front of him, his eyes flickered slightly, but he finally opened the car door and got out.
Soon, he got into the car that Shi Song was in.
Manager Zhen looked at the middle-aged man who was resting with his eyes closed and asked, "I wonder what business Third Master has with me?"
Shi Song slowly opened his eyelids, glanced at Manager Zhen, still fiddling with his Buddhist prayer beads, and casually asked, "What do you think of Shi Ying?"
Manager Zhen's gaze sharpened, and he commented truthfully, "Miss Shi Ying is intelligent and capable, with remarkable strength. She is naturally among the top three of the younger generation in the Shi family."
Shi Song paused in her actions, her gaze sharp as she looked at him. "Then what do you think about making her the heir?"
Manager Zhen's pupils suddenly contracted, and almost the instant their eyes met, he understood what Shi Song wanted him to do.
He smiled. After spending time with Shi Miao, he clearly preferred Shi Miao to be the successor. He simply said, "It's hard to say, after all, the assessment is not over yet."
Shi Song could easily see through Manager Zhen's evasive words. He narrowed his eyes slightly and said coldly, "Isn't the result obvious? I think you yourself know in your heart that there is a very high chance that this cooperation with the King organization will go wrong."
Manager Zhen's eyes flickered slightly, and he didn't respond for a moment.
Shi Song glanced at him out of the corner of his eye, then closed his eyes again, his casual voice carrying a hint of threat, "I advise Manager Zhen to think it over carefully."
Manager Zhen has risen to his position not just for show, but also because he has risked his life for the Shi family for many years. Naturally, he would not be threatened by anyone. He said calmly, "If there is nothing else, Third Master, then I will take my leave."
Without waiting for Shi Song's response, she opened the car door, got out, and strode towards her own car.
Shi Song frowned, his face turning somewhat grim, clearly not expecting Manager Zhen to be so assertive.
With a cold expression and a slight lift of his chin, he ordered his trusted aide, "Drive."
