Sometimes, luck plays a significant role, and one must accept it.
Hearing the last words, Yu Xiheng’s eyelashes lifted slightly, and a smile touched his lips as he softly acknowledged, “Mhmm.”
“What does that ‘mhmm’ mean?” Mr. Yu was somewhat incredulous. “Why do you seem to be in such a good mood?”
Yu Xiheng brushed off the dust from his clothes. “I’m seeing the doctor soon, which is indeed a good thing. I won’t disturb you any longer.”
Without further explanation to Mr. Yu, he turned his wheelchair and left, crossing paths with Yu Yao, who had just returned.
Yu Yao’s expression changed. “Uncle Nine.”
Yu Xiheng, resting his head on his hand and with his eyes closed, appeared to be in deep thought.
His wheelchair, being automatic, continued forward.
“Don’t mind him!” Mr. Yu said angrily. “Yu Yao, go upstairs and keep your grandmother company. She’s not feeling well.”
“I’ll go right now, Grandpa,” Yu Yao replied, pressing his lips together. Outside the Yu family residence, Feng San appeared silently, “Brother Nine.” Yu Xiheng slowly opened his eyes.
“Mr. Shen and his party have arrived,” Feng San informed him. “I’ll take you there now. Miss Si will arrive later.”
Yu Xiheng nodded slightly, “Alright.”
Shen Xingjun, Shen Xi, and Lin Qingchen were dining at a star-rated restaurant in the city of Sijiu.
After Yu Xiheng arrived, Shen Xingjun ordered a few more bottles of wine.
“Shiyan, Miss Si is truly outstanding,” Lin Qingchen sincerely praised. “You know my father has been stressed about that new project, and I’m clueless about it. When I mentioned it to Miss Si during a discussion about medical techniques, she provided a project proposal the next day.” Shen Xingjun nearly spit out his drink, “She… she knows how to do business
Feng San asked curiously, “Is there anything Miss Si can’t do?”
Shen Xingjun was speechless.
It seemed he had lost.
Shen Xingjun looked enviously at Yu Xiheng, “Why didn’t I hire a personal bodyguard earlier? This isn’t just any bodyguard; having one means you’re set for life.”
Yu Xiheng finally spoke up, “You don’t have the ability to do so.”
Shen Xingjun was left speechless again.
He should have just kept drinking instead ofspeaking.
“Everyone, make sure to attend my wedding,” Shen Xi distributed several red packets. “Shiyan, you’re about the same age as us, but you’re considered a generation older. Yet, you’re still unmarried without even a partner. You need to put in some effort.”
Yu Xiheng looked up, his voice slow, “I’m working on it.” His words surprised everyone present.
Shen Xi was astonished, “You’ve found someone?”
“I know, but I won’t tell you,” Shen Xingjun boasted for the first time. “You can all guess.”
After guessing through all the prominent ladies in Sijiu City without success, Shen Xi gave up, “I’ll stop guessing. Sooner or later, Shiyan will bring her around. And you, Xingjun, you’re not young anymore and still without a
partner. I feel ashamed for you.”
Shen Xingjun, for the third time, was out of words again.
So he was the only one being targeted today?
“What about Qingchen?” Shen Xingjun shrugged. “Aren’t there many people pursuing you?
Lin Qingchen just smiled, “I’m not considering that aspect for now.”
“Qingchen,” Yu Xiheng turned his head. “Yu Tang is starting school in September. Please take care of her.”
Lin Qingchen, holding an honorary professor title at Great Xia University and occasionally lecturing, nodded with a smile, “No problem.”
The next morning, Elder Feng, accompanied by Zuo Xianyu and several shareholders, arrived at the meeting place agreed upon with the Lin family.
With many companies vying for the bid, Elder Feng was confident that once the Lin family reviewed Zuo Xianyu’s proposal, they would choose no other.
After all, Zuo Xianyu’s proposal was impeccable.
If the Lin family didn’t select, it would be a huge loss for them.
“Chairman Lin, good to see you. This is my junior, Zuo Xianyu,” Elder Feng greeted respectfully. “She wrote our proposal. Please have a look.” To Elder Feng’s surprise, Chairman Lin seemed uninterested.
“Let’s go to the conference room,” Chairman Lin suggested, glancing at Zuo Xianyu. “We have all the presentation equipment ready. Please explain your operation model.”
“Of course,” Elder Feng was flattered. “Xianyu, you wrote the proposal. You present it.”
Zuo Xianyu bowed slightly, “Chairman Lin, hello.”
“I’ve heard your name,” Chairman Lin said sternly. “I hope your proposal impresses me.”
Despite his words, his interest seemed lacking.
Lin Qingchen had already provided him with a proposal, and he hadn’t seen anything more perfect than that.
The group entered the conference room, filled with people seated along a long table.
Zuo Xianyu opened her prepared presentation.
Chairman Lin sat at the head of the table and began reviewing the proposal.
His expression changed at the first line and quickly flipped through the pages. By the last page, veins on his forehead were visible, his anger uncontrollable.
“My idea is—” Zuo Xianyu started, only to be interrupted by a loud “Slap!”
Chairman Lin threw the proposal onto the table.
His action shocked everyone present.
Elder Feng was terrified, “Chairman Lin, this proposal…”
Chairman Lin raised his hand, silencing him, and turned to Zuo Xianyu. “Miss Zuo Xianyu,” Chairman Lin began, “before you present your proposal, I have a few questions for you.”
Zuo Xianyu remained calm, “Please, Chairman Lin.”
Chairman Lin asked, his eyes sharp, “When did you complete this proposal?”
Zuo Xianyu was prepared for the question, “I finished the final draft on August
8th. I revised it many times, making seven versions in total.”
Chairman Lin nodded, “You claim to have rushed to complete this proposal two days ago, correct?”
“Yes,” Zuo Xianyu confirmed.
“And during this process, no one helped you, and you didn’t work in a team?”
“Chairman Lin, Xianyu has been a business prodigy since she was young,” Elder Feng interjected. “Others can’t keep up with her ideas.”
“Alright, a business prodigy,” Chairman Lin repeated, nodding. “Yes, a genius wrote this proposal, one in a century.”
Elder Feng smiled, “Of course, the Zuo family owes much to Xianyu. She’s nothing like her father, who was involved in child trafficking… It pains us too.” Zuo Xianyu modestly responded, “Chairman Lin, you flatter me.”
“Excellent!” Chairman Lin burst out laughing. “Miss Zuo’s proposal was identical to one I received last week, word for word.”
“I’d like to know, Miss Zuo, how you managed to work so diligently and revise this proposal, supposedly completing it on August 8th, when Qingchen received the same proposal from his friend on August 2nd?”
