"Thank you, Madame."

"Let's do it now."

"Alright." Ji Bai searched his body for a long time before opening his hands in embarrassment, "Madam Xie, my phone... I can't seem to find it."

"Don't try to trick me. I'm in my seat." Soong Anya looked at Ji Bai coldly. Her gaze, which was more than 999 degrees in lethality, made Ji Bai feel a deep sense of fear. He had no choice but to pick up his phone and dial a number.

Master, please don't answer the call.

Ji Bai prayed silently in his heart, but the phone still connected after a short ringtone.

"Master, that Madam Xie..."

"Let me tell you." Soong Anya took the phone and placed it next to her ear. "Director Chi, where are you now?"

Ji Bai stood dejectedly in the corner. He hated dealing with women the most.

There was a long pause before a reply came. It was Chi Beichuan's usual cold voice. "Auntie, I have an emergency meeting. I'll call you later."

"Chi Beichuan, my daughter is still in the hospital. Did you... hang up?"

Soong Anya took her phone away. The screen was already black.

She called again. It was busy.

Seeing that Soong Anya wanted to call again, Ji Bai quickly took back his phone.

"Madam Xie, the CEO is in a conference call. I'm afraid I won't be able to get through for a while."

Soong Anya glared at Ji Bai and returned to the ward with a belly full of anger.

Ji Bai smoothened his chest, thinking, Oh my god, women are really too scary.

He could only hope that his master would be able to successfully pursue his wife.

On the other side, Chi Beichuan had been calling Shi Nian the whole time. The smartphone voice changed from unanswered to switched off. His heart tightened, afraid that something would happen to Shi Nian.

Chi Beichuan wanted to go and find Shi Nian, but he was worried that Shi Nian would come back when he wasn't around. He gave up on the idea of looking for her and stood outside Shi Nian's apartment building, waiting.

Early the next morning, Lin Xi pulled back Shi Nian's blanket and woke the woman from her sleep.

Shi Nian took out her phone and looked at it. Her face was filled with pain. "It's only seven o'clock... Hmm... Lin Xi, let me sleep for a while longer."

"Get up quickly! Your husband has already announced it to another woman, yet you're still in the mood to sleep here?"

Shi Nian rubbed her sore neck from Lin Xi's shaking. Her mind was still not clear, "What official announcement?"

Lin Xi threw the tablet into Shi Nian's arms, "Look at it yourself."

Shi Nian looked at the title, "The head of Imperial Group and the daughter of Xie's are finally engaged!"

Shi Nian curled her lips, threw the tablet to the side, and collapsed back onto the bed, "I was there yesterday, I know."

"You can still fall asleep even if you know?" Lin Xi looked at the girl on the bed with a headache.

"Nian, listen to me. Chi Beichuan is a man you can't touch. Get rid of him as soon as possible. I'll find you any boyfriend you want."

"Okay, okay, okay. I'll think about it. Let me sleep for a while."

At nine o'clock, Shi Nian woke up from her sleep and slowly began to put on her clothes.

"I'll ask Auntie to heat up breakfast." Lin Xi knocked on Shi Nian's head, feeling both angry and helpless.

Shi Nian took back the tablet and read the content again. The entire text was written on a picture of Chi Beichuan and Xie Jinzhi standing together. There was no substantive evidence.

But Chi Beichuan had a reputation for not being close to women. If he caught a photo, he would say that the engagement was not excessive.

Shi Nian recalled the scene of Chi Beichuan and Xie Jinzhi standing on the stage last night. She somewhat agreed with Lin Xi's words. This strange marriage would not last long.

Shi Nian suddenly recalled the scene of her meeting with Chi Beichuan in the president's office of the Empire State Building, his serious eyes, and Mrs. Chi's words that she must have her...

"You're thinking too much." Shi Nian patted her head. Who did she think she was? It would be good enough if she took care of herself first.

"Breakfast, do you want me to feed you or do you want to come down and eat it yourself?" Lin Xi leaned against the door, holding a milk sandwich.

Shi Nian quickly put on the clothes that Lin Xi threw at her, got off the bed with a flattering smile, and took the tray. "How could I dare let Miss Lin feed me?"

Lin Xi snorted. She bent down, picked up the "baby," and personally fed the dried fish.

"Oh right, the one surnamed Ji doesn't have your contact information, right?"

Shi Nian took a sip of milk and rolled her eyes at Lin Xi, "No, my good friend, don't worry. Other friends are worried that their best friend won't be able to get married, but you keep destroying my love life."

Lin Xi immediately became serious when she heard that, "Shi Nian, I'm not trying to put an end to your romance. It's just that the men who get close to you have bad intentions towards you. Think about Mu Sichen, the guy next door who pestered you in your senior year, and the school bully who sent you love letters every day in high school. I can see through them with my eyes!"

Shi Nian took a bite of her sandwich and shrugged her shoulders. "Alright, best friend. If I can't get married in the future, you can support me for the rest of my life."

"Of course."

"Alright, I'm full. It's time for me to go to work." Shi Nian opened her phone and saw a screen full of messages. She frowned and opened it.

Seeing that Shi Nian's expression was getting more and more serious, Lin Xi came over and looked at the screen. "shareholders meeting?"

"The meeting will be held at 9: 30. There are only five minutes left." Shi Nian hurriedly picked up her bag. "I have to hurry."

"I'll send you off." Lin Xi knew how serious the situation was, so she put down the British Shorthair and went to the garage with Shi Nian.

"Mu Sichen is not a good person. You should have listened to me and ignored him."

Lin Xi scolded Mu Sichen with righteous indignation along the way. Shi Nian lowered her head in thought. The news of Chi Beichuan and Xie Jinzhi had spread like wildfire. She was afraid that this shareholders' meeting was related to this matter.

When they finally arrived at Shi's, the shareholders' meeting had been going on for fifteen minutes.

"I'll wait for you outside." Lin Xi stood at the door of the conference room, worried about Shi Nian.

"No need. This afternoon is your personal jewelry exhibition. I know it means a lot to you. Go back and prepare. I'll look for you in the afternoon after I'm done."

Shi Nian turned around and hugged Lin Xi, "Trust me! Wait for my good news."

"Alright."

After watching Lin Xi leave, Shi Nian took a deep breath and opened the door to the conference room.

The heated discussion immediately quieted down when they saw who it was. It was as if an outsider had suddenly barged into their shareholder meeting.

"Who gave you the authority to hold a shareholder meeting without my permission?"

Shi Nian glanced indifferently at the main seat. Mu Sichen looked at her coldly, without any intention of giving up his seat. Shi Yi leaned against Mu Sichen, looking gentle and sweet.

"Oh, the power Mu Sichen and Shi Yi gave me." Shi Yi walked to the main seat with a cold smile, "Mu Sichen, why didn't I see it before? Why is your face so big? An outsider openly interfering in the shareholders' meeting of our Shi's Group with a girlfriend who doesn't have a single cent of the company?"

"Shi Nian, don't go too far." Mu Sichen stood up and looked Shi Nian in the eye.

Shi Nian was the first to look away. She pulled the stool behind him with her small hand and sat down. "Forget it, I don't want to waste my time with you two, who are in cahoots with each other."
