Bo Xu said, "Then you must be careful, sister."
"At 29, I'll only be more cunning than I am now. Maybe I'll be thinking right now about how to mess with my older sister."
Shen Zhiyi chuckled and said, "Maybe you won't be like this now, acting like a child and playing such childish scaring tricks when you mature."
Bo Xu immediately bristled.
"Who's small? I'm not small!"
He lowered his voice, "It's just that I haven't had the chance to let my sister see me. Otherwise, you would know how terrifying my strength is now."
Shen Zhiyi laughed out loud.
He deliberately said, "If you're talking about games, then I guess you could barely qualify."
"If you're so capable, play another game with me tonight."
"If you lose, you have to show me your abs, okay? You're a terrifyingly strong fighter," she teased.
Completely unaware of what was behind him, a tall figure had appeared out of nowhere.
"Sure." The boy's cheerful voice leaked out a little through the poor-quality headphones. "If I win, I'll show you. Then you'll know I wasn't bragging. I even have big abs."
Shen Zhiyi couldn't help but chuckle.
Just as I was about to reply, I suddenly felt a gloomy, low-pressure atmosphere coming from my side and behind.
Her heart skipped a beat, and she slowly turned around—
"Mr. Bo?!"
Startled, she took off her headphones and stood up.
Bo Xu walked over expressionlessly, glancing indifferently at the mimosa on her table.
Shen Zhiyi immediately picked it up. "Does President Bo want it?"
"Shall I deliver one to your office?"
Bo Xu's gaze fell, slowly sweeping across her face, and he said in a low voice, "It seems you really have a lot of free time."
"I still have time to grow some flowers and plants."
He glanced at her phone with an ambiguous expression.
He withdrew his gaze and said coldly, "You'll be attending the group meeting this morning."
After saying that, he strode towards the conference room.
Shen Zhiyi sadly put down the mimosa, grabbed her notebook, and hurriedly followed.
...
The conference room was quiet, with only Bo Xu's voice echoing in the still air.
He looked very different on stage than usual.
He took off his crisp, imposing coat, leaving him in only a shirt and a black vest. He still looked impeccably dressed, except that he had unbuttoned the top button of his shirt and rolled up his sleeves to his forearms, revealing the clear lines of his wrist bones.
He held a laser pointer, his fingers long and slender, the veins on the back of his hand bulging.
The moving beam of light followed his voice, traversing the screen and landing on the clear and precise data.
Shen Zhiyi looked at his profile illuminated by fluorescent light, which flickered in front of the projector.
Every gesture he makes exudes a calm, composed, and mature charm.
She looked dazed.
Unexpectedly, Mr. Bo, who usually seems quiet, reserved, and aloof, has such a "passionate and outgoing" side when talking about projects.
His voice didn't sound as deep and cold as usual.
On the contrary, the upward-sloping final note reveals a hint of ambition and vigorous vitality.
Just like... Xiao Xu.
She stared intently at his face.
It's as if I can see that boy, who was full of enthusiasm for everything, transcending time and space, and merging with the mature man in front of me.
Her heart skipped a beat for no apparent reason.
"Sister, I'm not little."
His voice still seemed to echo in Shen Zhiyi's ears. Her gaze involuntarily drifted downwards, gliding over Thin Xu's Adam's apple, his broad chest taut in his suit, his narrow waist and abdomen, and...
She swallowed hard.
"Shen Zhiyi." The cold voice, filled with oppressive power and authority, pulled her back to reality.
Shen Zhiyi was startled.
She looked up and met Bo Xu's displeased gaze.
"Yes!" she said, holding her breath.
Several pairs of eyes in the conference room turned to her.
Shen Zhiyi's back was stiff.
Bo Xu lowered his gaze, placed his hands on the conference table, and tapped the surface with his knuckles. "You summarize the key points I just mentioned."
Shen Zhiyi quickly glanced at her notebook, took a deep breath, and said, "Okay."
"You just mentioned the key points of this project. There are three areas we should pay attention to, namely..."
