Sometimes, luck plays a significant role, and one must accept it.
Hearing the last words, Yu Xihengâs eyelashes lifted slightly, and a smile touched his lips as he softly acknowledged, âMhmm.â
âWhat does that âmhmmâ mean?â Mr. Yu was somewhat incredulous. âWhy do you seem to be in such a good mood?â
Yu Xiheng brushed off the dust from his clothes. âIâm seeing the doctor soon, which is indeed a good thing. I wonât disturb you any longer.â
Without further explanation to Mr. Yu, he turned his wheelchair and left, crossing paths with Yu Yao, who had just returned.
Yu Yaoâs expression changed. âUncle Nine.â
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.
âDonât mind him!â Mr. Yu said angrily. âYu Yao, go upstairs and keep your grandmother company. Sheâs not feeling well.â
âIâll go right now, Grandpa,â Yu Yao replied, pressing his lips together. Outside the Yu family residence, Feng San appeared silently, âBrother Nine.â Yu Xiheng slowly opened his eyes.
âMr. Shen and his party have arrived,â Feng San informed him. âIâll take you there now. Miss Si will arrive later.â
Yu Xiheng nodded slightly, âAlright.â
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.
âShiyan, Miss Si is truly outstanding,â Lin Qingchen sincerely praised. âYou know my father has been stressed about that new project, and Iâm clueless about it. When I mentioned it to Miss Si during a discussion about medical techniques, she provided a project proposal the next day.â Shen Xingjun nearly spit out his drink, âShe⦠she knows how to do business
Feng San asked curiously, âIs there anything Miss Si canât do?â
Shen Xingjun was speechless.
It seemed he had lost.
Shen Xingjun looked enviously at Yu Xiheng, âWhy didnât I hire a personal bodyguard earlier? This isnât just any bodyguard; having one means youâre set for life.â
Yu Xiheng finally spoke up, âYou donât have the ability to do so.â
Shen Xingjun was left speechless again.
He should have just kept drinking instead ofspeaking.
âEveryone, make sure to attend my wedding,â Shen Xi distributed several red packets. âShiyan, youâre about the same age as us, but youâre considered a generation older. Yet, youâre still unmarried without even a partner. You need to put in some effort.â
Yu Xiheng looked up, his voice slow, âIâm working on it.â His words surprised everyone present.
Shen Xi was astonished, âYouâve found someone?â
âI know, but I wonât tell you,â Shen Xingjun boasted for the first time. âYou can all guess.â
After guessing through all the prominent ladies in Sijiu City without success, Shen Xi gave up, âIâll stop guessing. Sooner or later, Shiyan will bring her around. And you, Xingjun, youâre not young anymore and still without a
partner. I feel ashamed for you.â
Shen Xingjun, for the third time, was out of words again.
So he was the only one being targeted today?
âWhat about Qingchen?â Shen Xingjun shrugged. âArenât there many people pursuing you?
Lin Qingchen just smiled, âIâm not considering that aspect for now.â
âQingchen,â Yu Xiheng turned his head. âYu Tang is starting school in September. Please take care of her.â
Lin Qingchen, holding an honorary professor title at Great Xia University and occasionally lecturing, nodded with a smile, âNo problem.â
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 Xianyuâs proposal, they would choose no other.
After all, Zuo Xianyuâs proposal was impeccable.
If the Lin family didnât select, it would be a huge loss for them.
âChairman Lin, good to see you. This is my junior, Zuo Xianyu,â Elder Feng greeted respectfully. âShe wrote our proposal. Please have a look.â To Elder Fengâs surprise, Chairman Lin seemed uninterested.
âLetâs go to the conference room,â Chairman Lin suggested, glancing at Zuo Xianyu. âWe have all the presentation equipment ready. Please explain your operation model.â
âOf course,â Elder Feng was flattered. âXianyu, you wrote the proposal. You present it.â
Zuo Xianyu bowed slightly, âChairman Lin, hello.â
âIâve heard your name,â Chairman Lin said sternly. âI hope your proposal impresses me.â
Despite his words, his interest seemed lacking.
Lin Qingchen had already provided him with a proposal, and he hadnât 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.
âMy idea isââ Zuo Xianyu started, only to be interrupted by a loud âSlap!â
Chairman Lin threw the proposal onto the table.
His action shocked everyone present.
Elder Feng was terrified, âChairman Lin, this proposalâ¦â
Chairman Lin raised his hand, silencing him, and turned to Zuo Xianyu. âMiss Zuo Xianyu,â Chairman Lin began, âbefore you present your proposal, I have a few questions for you.â
Zuo Xianyu remained calm, âPlease, Chairman Lin.â
Chairman Lin asked, his eyes sharp, âWhen did you complete this proposal?â
Zuo Xianyu was prepared for the question, âI finished the final draft on August
8th. I revised it many times, making seven versions in total.â
Chairman Lin nodded, âYou claim to have rushed to complete this proposal two days ago, correct?â
âYes,â Zuo Xianyu confirmed.
âAnd during this process, no one helped you, and you didnât work in a team?â
âChairman Lin, Xianyu has been a business prodigy since she was young,â Elder Feng interjected. âOthers canât keep up with her ideas.â
âAlright, a business prodigy,â Chairman Lin repeated, nodding. âYes, a genius wrote this proposal, one in a century.â
Elder Feng smiled, âOf course, the Zuo family owes much to Xianyu. Sheâs nothing like her father, who was involved in child trafficking⦠It pains us too.â Zuo Xianyu modestly responded, âChairman Lin, you flatter me.â
âExcellent!â Chairman Lin burst out laughing. âMiss Zuoâs proposal was identical to one I received last week, word for word.â
âIâd 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?â
