Chapter 437 - She Is A Girl And Would Feel Embarrassed

“Alright, I’ll talk to Sheng Xiao. Send me the information about that person and I’ll call you back when there’s a match.”

“Thanks, Xiao Qi.”

Mu Qiqi was willing to help Lin Mu’an because their band of friends knew that he and Lu Qianqian admired each other, although no one would poke through their paper-thin cover.

While Lin Mu’an had been a flirt and silver-tongued before, he had changed and never looked back. It was obvious that he has genuine feelings for Lu Qianqian, especially from how he determinedly attended the police academy and gave up on his family fortune, toughing out the difficult life out there.

With that being the case, how could his friends not do a little something?

Later, Mu Qiqi felt her curiosity piqued when Lin Mu’an sent her the information about the transfer student, and told Sheng Xiao, “Xiao Xiao, wouldn’t this girl give their feelings towards each other a little push?”

“The Lin family is very prejudiced against Lu Qianqian.”

“Could you not be a downer? I think that if they worked hard, things would not be as difficult as imagined. If you could break the chains of the Sheng family, why can’t Lin Mu’an?”

Nonetheless, Sheng Xiao sent the information to Xu Che and told him to get an answer as soon as possible.

“Anyway, your interview’s tomorrow. Come to bed!” Mu Qiqi said, tugging at Sheng Xiao’s black pajamas.

“You should sleep first. I still have some documents to look through.” Sheng Xiao said, patting her head.

He actually knew what she was hinting at, and was teasing her in purpose.

“You think I wouldn’t know when your documents aren’t urgent?”

At that, Sheng Xiao lowered the documents and flashed Mu Qiqi a vague smile. “How did you know?”

“Look at the time, Xiao Xiao!”

“I wouldn’t be in be at this hour usually.” Sheng Xiao continued to play dumb.

Mu Qiqi knew that he was doing that on purpose and stopped trying to persuade him. Standing up beside him, “Fine. If you’re not going to bed, I’m going.”

Still, after Mu Qiqi started walking, Sheng Xiao suddenly wrapped his arms around her from behind. “Little one… is it that hard to just say you want it directly?”

“I’m a girl. I would always feel embarrassed.”

Sheng Xiao promptly turned her around and swiftly undressed her—his little one’s figure continued to improve in the meantime, just as it felt good to the touch.

“It’s like we’re married for ages… what’s there to be embarrassed about?”

Sheng Xiao put her on the bed, and pressed her hands high over her head.

Mu Qiqi stared stiffly at her man’s robust chest, but her complexion turned red by reflex. She hoped that she and Sheng Xiao could always remain as if they were freshly in love for all eternity—that way, she would always love her more, and neither get bored nor get used to it.

“I’m leaving tomorrow, but I really want to bring you along.”

That was why Mu Qiqi said before she fell asleep.

In the very least, Sheng Xiao understood that his little one would not want to part with him.

***

On the next day, the Sheng family was still smoothing things over with their partners, completely unaware that Sheng Xiao was about to receive an exclusive interview, acting as if Zhongteng’s rise was thanks to Huang Yao’s effort.

All of their partners were flattering Old Sheng, that he had groomed several impressive grandsons, that his family had reached further beyond being an empire of diamonds. They even supposed that their conglomerate would grow further and have an even brighter future ahead of them.

The old man was still hating on Sheng Xiao just days ago, and now began to use him as he always did—his despicable side never once changing.

And now, the journalists from the financial magazines had arrived at Zhongteng’s guest room.

That was the venue for today’s exclusive interview.

The journalist sent by the magazine was a woman, and she had to admit that she was excited to meet a legendary character such as Sheng Xiao.

Sheng Xiao entered the guest room after he was done with an important meeting at ten in the morning.

The journalist was already prepared by then, and was already waiting for Sheng Xiao to get settled in.

Of course, Sheng Xiao had personally appraised the contents of the interview, which was why he knew what questions were coming.

Still, the journalist did not expect that Mu Qiqi would come with him.

The nineteen-year-old simply stood beside Sheng Xiao, although there was nothing young about her.

And it was as if she and Sheng Xiao were one.

Her medium-length hair as well as her loose fringe was elegant and attractive.

And then there was that tattoo on her ear—rumor has it that it was Sheng Xiao’s name.

“Chief Sheng, we may begin.”

At her words, Mu Qiqi released Sheng Xiao’s hand and walked behind the cameraman.

After all, she wanted to see Xiao Xiao’s coolest side too.

“It’s a pleasure that you have agreed to our magazine’s invitation, Mister Sheng Xiao, CEO of Zhongteng. Stories of you are regarded as legendary, and everyone is curious about what you have been doing in the past six months, and how you would elevate an unfamiliar company to such heights in such a short time? Could you share with us your thoughts over the past six months?”

Sheng Xiao smiled at the question before answering, “My father-in-law was actually the one who proposed Zhongteng. He was the one who asked if I was interested in working in the military industry, and none of us hesitated when we acted directly on the idea. Unlike what everyone thought in those six months, I was not idle—I’ve been busy reviewing products, meeting clients, just as I faced the same problems plaguing every ordinary administrator.”

“I also believe that Zhongteng’s rise comes down to timing. There is still space in the country, and my father-in-law’s vision was singular: he saw the opportunity in there, which was why Zhongteng could develop from strength-to-strength with little pressure.”

Sheng Xiao’s persistent mention of Shen Jianchuan only had one intention.

Zhongteng’s founding had nothing to do at all with Huang Yao or the Sheng family, because Shen Jianchuan was the one who proposed the company from the very start.

“Is your father-in-law or the Shen family involved in Zhongteng’s development?”

“The Shen family had been supporting me all along, offering me refuge when everyone else was spreading lies about me, so that I don’t have to worry too much while I go all out. I’m very thankful to them.”

“Then, what holds the greatest impact on you after you left Huang Yao for Zhongteng? What did you feel the most?”
