"It sounds like you really admire this Mr. Liu."
Xia Wenxi found it amusing and teased Lin Shen, "Oh dear, why do I smell something sour?"
"No."
Lin Shen denied being jealous, saying only, "I was thinking, why don't we invest in a resort project? My Xiaoxi seems to really like it."
The Lin Group has a hotel business, but its main business is chain star-rated hotels, and it has not yet ventured into resort hotels.
"Ahem, Mr. Lin, this is not right," Xia Wenxi said righteously. "How can you invest just because your girlfriend likes it? This is the behavior of a tyrant, it's unacceptable!"
"I am a tyrannical ruler, who is Xiaoxi?"
Xia Wenxi slapped his forehead. "I'm the Imperial Censor! I'm in charge of impeaching tyrannical emperors. You'd better watch out."
Lin Shen was amused by Xia Wenxi and told her that even if he were to make an investment, it would definitely be in his own name and would have nothing to do with the Lin Group.
After all, starting a completely new business line is not something that can be decided in a day or two, or even a month or two. There are many things to evaluate.
Moreover, his daughter Xiaoxi is a champion of justice; she absolutely forbids him from using his position for personal gain, not even for a small access card.
Xia Wenxi wouldn't interfere with the investment being made in Lin Shen's personal name, since she didn't know as much about business as Lin Shen did.
Her simple understanding was, "Anyway, we're doing a losing business."
"Xiaoxi is right. How about you take charge of managing the family's money from now on?"
Xia Wenxi hurriedly waved her hand, "I can't even manage my own money properly."
She receives a considerable amount of dividends every quarter, but aside from saving, she knows nothing about financial management and has entrusted all of these matters to her family's financial advisor.
For this, she was ridiculed by Xia Wensheng, who said that all the lessons she had learned were useless.
"Anyway, it's your own money, so you can manage it yourself."
Lin Shen chuckled at Xia Wenxi's eagerness to avoid him; anyone who didn't know better would think he was giving her a bomb instead of money.
...
As a participant invited by the summit organizers, Lin Shen was picked up at the airport by staff from the organizers, and a hotel had been booked for him.
As a "family member," Xia Wenxi could naturally stay at the hotel with them.
However, Lin Shen rebooked a hotel before arriving.
Xia Wenxi asked him why, and he said, "As far as I know, Wensheng also lives there."
"Ah...but Minghuan seems to be staying at home, so we should be fine there?"
"in case."
"Ah...that's true."
Xia Wenxi nodded in agreement. What if Xia Wensheng brought Minghuan to live with them someday? She couldn't guarantee she wouldn't give herself away...
Because she felt that she had never truly contained her feelings, since Lin Shen could tell she had something on her mind as soon as he saw her.
So on the day of the awards ceremony, Xia Wenxi was unusually nervous, as if she were the one who had won an award and was going on stage to give a speech.
"Xia Wensheng said that if I leaked this information to Minghuan beforehand, he would hang himself in front of both our houses."
Lin Shen: ...
That's a huge determination.
During the awards ceremony, Xia Wenxi, as an "audience member," did not sit with Lin Shen, but had a designated seating area.
To avoid running into Sister Minghuan, Xia Wenxi deliberately arrived a little late and sat at the very back.
Along the way, Xia Wenxi cursed Xia Wensheng in her heart while praying that Xia Wensheng would propose to her successfully as soon as possible.
As Xia Wenxi had planned, after she entered the venue, there were indeed only a few seats left in the back row of the "audience area," so she randomly picked a seat and sat down.
Before sitting down, I made a point of looking ahead to make sure that Sister Minghuan was sitting a few rows ahead.
As soon as she sat down, the person next to her turned around and greeted her.
"Hi, Miss Xia! Do you remember me?"
Xia Wenxi was also pleasantly surprised, "Of course I remember, what a coincidence, Miss Nian."
Xia Wenxi realized that the award-winning CEO Gu was Miss Nian's husband!
“It’s me.” The woman winked mischievously and added, “Tangyuan’s mom.”
After saying that, she patted the boy next to her and said to Xia Wenxi, "My son."
"Zhijing, quickly greet your older sister."
"I'm my mom's stepson, whom she treats like a son. My dad is law-abiding. Hello, sister!"
Xia Wenxi couldn't help but chuckle, "Hello, little brother Zhijing."
After exchanging greetings, he smiled and congratulated Mr. Gu on winning the award.
"Thanks."
After all, the two had only met a few times, and Xia Wenxi and Nian Sui'an mostly talked about raising cats; the conversation sounded more like a pet-raising exchange meeting.
Twenty minutes later, the awards ceremony officially began.
"Zhijing, are you ready? Your dad is about to go on stage."
"Don't worry, Mom, I'm always ready."
Then Xia Wenxi saw Zhijing's younger brother take a camera out of his schoolbag.
"How's it going? Can you get a clear shot?"
"no problem."
Seeing Xia Wenxi looking over, Nian Sui'an explained, "Sitting in the front to take pictures might bother others, so I simply sat in the back."
"I've become a photo 'station brother' today. I'll make an album of photos and sell it to my dad for 50,000 yuan. Mom, remember to say that you took these photos, and that photos taken by me won't fetch a good price."
Watching the interaction between the mother and son, Xia Wenxi couldn't help but smile knowingly.
What an ordinary family relationship!
After the awards ceremony, a cocktail party followed immediately. As soon as Xia Wenxi saw Lin Shen, she grabbed him and started talking non-stop about the happy family she had just seen.
After Xia Wenxi finished speaking, she sighed again, "That's wonderful!"
Lin Shen joked, "Are you referring to the story about the son taking pictures of his father and then selling them to him for 50,000 yuan?"
"What, you don't want to buy it?"
“I would love to. I hope that when our children are old enough to take pictures of their dad, I will receive this award.”
Xia Wenxi laughed heartily, "I believe you can definitely do it, President Lin!"
"Wenxi!"
Xia Wenxi heard Minghuan's voice, and alarm bells went off in her mind instantly.
"When did you arrive? I hadn't seen you before and thought you weren't coming today."
Xia Wenxi tried her best to put on a smile that was no different from usual, and said calmly, "I got up late today, so I could only sit in the back when I came."
Lin Shen, standing behind them, whispered to Xia Wensheng, "Xiaoxi said she's not very good at keeping secrets, you..."
Before she could finish speaking, Xia Wensheng stepped forward and grabbed Minghuan, "Huanhuan, there's a senior I'm very close to over there. Let's go over and say hello together."
"Okay. Then we'll meet Wenxi later."
"Okay, Minghuan!"
I probably won't see him again...
"Do you think Xia Wensheng will propose tonight? Let me check the almanac."
Xia Wenxi took out her phone to check the almanac, "Today is auspicious for marriage, I think Xia Wensheng should get ready to get married tonight!"
