Chapter 288: 283 Thanks for the tip

"Stop looking, they’ve already left."

Jiang Chen reminded.

At this moment.

The performance had ended.

But throughout the entire event, Shi Qianxi’s gaze was mostly fixed on the "Blood Guanyin", more mesmerized than even the men.

The audience began to file out.

Miss Shi stood up, still feeling somewhat at a loss.

Jiang Chen had never seen this lady looking like this, he hesitated for a moment before tentatively asking, "Do you know her well?"

Without a doubt.

Regardless of whether Shi Qianxi was exaggerating, that woman he had met once was definitely a legendary figure.

It was natural to be curious about such a person.

"No, but I think my dad might know her."

"Is she really as impressive as you say?"

"What else could it be?"

Shi Qianxi turned her head, not out of dissatisfaction with being doubted but rather resembling the indignation one feels when their idol’s authority is questioned.

"If you don’t believe it, there’s a simple way to find out. Just mess with her and see the consequences, then you’ll know whether I’m telling the truth or not."

"I’d rather not, I don’t like causing trouble."

Jiang Chen said as a matter of course.

Shi Qianxi gave him a look, "Just admit it if you’re a coward, no need to make excuses."

The two of them exited the opera house.

The moon shone bright amongst sparse stars.

The neon lights flickered.

East Sea was a city that never slept, regardless of the season.

"Let me take you home."

Miss Shi had indeed changed quite a bit, at least she wasn’t as obnoxious as she used to be.

"There’s no need to trouble yourself, I can take public transportation."

"What? Are you afraid I’ll pester you? Don’t worry, I won’t."

Shi Qianxi laughed, looking at Jiang Chen with the eyes of someone observing a prey that couldn’t escape.

"One day, you will fall for me of your own accord."

There.

She was having one of her episodes again.

Jiang Chen wisely didn’t take the bait and got into the car.

Shi Qianxi didn’t mind, she contentedly took the driver’s seat, and the AMG turned around.

"What are your plans next?"

"What?"

Jiang Chen didn’t catch on immediately.

"All this effort to sign that siren, surely it isn’t just to help me, right?"

Shi Qianxi drove, her eyes fixed ahead, her expression calm, not giving Jiang Chen a chance to make excuses, she went on, "She’s indeed a goose that lays golden eggs. Since we’ve decided to sign her, we must utilize her value."

A goose that lays golden eggs.

Perhaps only this lady would describe Pei Yunxi that way.

But the rough idea wasn’t wrong.

"I’m not very knowledgeable about the entertainment industry. Do you have any resources in that area? Even if that siren agrees, her price won’t be low. We can’t afford to do business at a loss, we need her to make money for us."

Pushing too hard could still yield results.

At least now, Shi Qianxi was starting to learn to see issues from a businessman’s perspective.

"As long as your dad doesn’t deliberately trip us up, this isn’t a problem at all."

"Don’t worry, I’ll handle my dad. If it really comes down to it, I’ll go to my mom for support."

As it involved someone else’s family affairs, Jiang Chen said no more.

Miss Shi was true to her word and dropped Jiang Chen off at East University without any further fuss, then drove off with a carefree attitude.

Her condition hadn’t improved, but her behavior seemed to have changed somewhat.

"Dad."

Back at her family estate, the housekeeper opened the door.

Shi Qianxi approached the living room and saw her father sitting alone on the sofa, holding some official documents.

"Why are you still looking at those at home?"

"You’re back."

Shi Zhenhua turned his head.

"Yes."

Shi Qianxi sat down beside him and put down her bag.

"The thing I called you about, you haven’t forgotten, have you?"

Shi Qianxi was startled and then remembered, trying to appear nonchalant.

"No, I haven’t."

Then, she turned her attention back to the document, "Is this that proposal?"

"Take a look."

Shi Zhenhua handed the proposal over to his daughter.

"This is Golden Sea’s key project for next year, potentially affecting the group’s development for the next five to ten years."

"Dad, are you overstating it?"

The housekeeper came over, replaced Shi Zhenhua’s tea with a hot one, and also poured a cup for Shi Qianxi.

Taking the thick stack of proposal documents, Shi Qianxi browsed through it and quickly realized her father wasn’t exaggerating at all as her expression flickered.

Shi Zhenhua took a sip of his tea.

"As you can see, this is a collaboration with Jiang Dong Shipyard, a key military project; its significance should be clear to you. If we secure it, we can extend Golden Sea’s prosperity for another five to ten years, maybe even reach new heights. However, due to the project’s importance, many forces are coveting it, and our competitors are strong. It will be challenging to stand out, but no matter how difficult it is, we must try."

"Dad, for such an important project, shouldn’t you take it to the board of directors for discussion? What’s the use of telling me?"

"You are already the second-largest shareholder of the group, so what’s wrong with telling you?"

Shi Qianxi was at a loss for words.

Shi Zhenhua, holding his tea cup, finally revealed his true intention.

"Dad hopes you can get involved in this project."

Shi Qianxi was taken aback, nearly blurting out without thinking, "Dad, I can’t do it, I don’t understand anything..."

"Why are you panicking?"

Shi Zhenhua spoke with moderate emphasis, "I’m just asking you to get involved, not to take charge. This is a major project, and whether it succeeds or fails, you’ll learn a lot from it. This experience is something you can’t get by just sitting in the office and reading files. Besides, the project hasn’t officially started yet. I got this information through special channels, and you have plenty of time to prepare."

Shi Qianxi still couldn’t keep calm.

After all, planning on paper is one thing, actual operation is another.

Moreover, it was such a critical major project.

" Dad, I really can’t do it, please find someone else."

She kept shaking her head, the project proposal in her hands feeling like it was burning hot.

"It’s not a discussion, it’s an order."

Shi Zhenhua’s unshakeable authority, deep as an abyss, left Shi Qianxi with no room for further resistance.

"... Dad, this is something you’re forcing on me, so if it goes wrong, don’t blame me."

Miss Shi smartly secured a way out for herself in advance.

Shi Zhenhua chuckled to himself.

It seems his precious daughter was the only one who dared to talk to him like this.

"If you’re thinking about failure before even starting, with that mindset, how are you going to accomplish anything?"

"I just don’t have any experience..."

"Who starts out with experience? Doesn’t everyone accumulate it gradually?"

"I don’t mind being involved, but if it fails, you can’t come after me."

Miss Shi repeated her stance.

Shi Zhenhua was at a loss.

"Haven’t I told you? I just want you to go in and learn. Not to take charge."

"I don’t care, you have to promise me."

"Fine, I promise you. Happy now?"

With his treasured daughter, Shi Zhenhua was really helpless.

Shi Qianxi seemed to finally feel reassured. She lowered her head and continued flipping through the project proposal.

The words ’military project’ said it all.

It wasn’t merely about interests.

For a private enterprise to get involved was like adding an identity to oneself.

This was not something measurable by money.

"Stop looking at that for now, you’ll have time later."

Shi Zhenhua asked, "Are you seeing that college student again tonight?"

"Dad, how do you know?"

Shi Qianxi looked up in astonishment, then frowned, "Dad, are you having me watched again?"

"What kind of person do you think your father is? Haven’t we made an agreement?"

"Then how did you..."

"Mao Jiuzhang told me."

"Mao who?"

Shi Qianxi was clueless.

"The security guard you wanted to fire."

Shi Zhenhua put down his teacup. The chairman remembering the name of a parking lot security guard was indeed unimaginable.

Shi Qianxi suddenly understood.

"That guy’s got guts, taking your mom’s money and then daring to get involved with you."

"Dad, don’t talk like that, and besides, he’s already returned the money to me."

In fact, hearing her father speak like that secretly pleased Miss Shi.

Then, her expression became more solemn.

"Dad, you won’t tell Mom, will you?"

"I promised you, as long as you diligently work at the company, I won’t interfere with your life and marriage. As long as your mom doesn’t find out herself, I definitely won’t be the one to inform her."

"Dad, you really are the best."

Miss Shi, wearing a sweet smile, had fully mastered the art of speaking differently to different people, her ability to shift with the wind was nothing short of perfection.

"Dad, do you know who I saw tonight?"

Shi Qianxi put the project proposal temporarily on the coffee table with an air of mystery.

"Who?"

"Lan, Pei, Zhi."

On hearing these names, Shi Zhenhua’s gaze sharpened, a slight frown on his face.

"How did you run into her?"

"Not met, she didn’t see me. Jiang Chen and I went to the East Sea Opera House to watch a performance, and she was there too."

Shi Qianxi hastened to explain.

Shi Zhenhua was silent for a while.

"Try to stay away from her, she’s not a good person."

Shi Qianxi smiled.

"Dad, of course, I know she’s not a good person."

She paused, then asked curiously, "Dad, I heard she’s ruthless and likes to drink children’s blood for beauty. Is that true?"

The contemplative Shi Zhenhua couldn’t help chuckling.

"Don’t listen to nonsense from outsiders, some people even say she has a green face, fangs, and multiple arms, do you think that’s true?"

"But why can a woman like her be so powerful?"

Shi Qianxi really didn’t know much about that ’Blood Guanyin,’ but one thing was clear to her.

Even her father held a trace of reverence for her.

"If you want to understand, keep working hard. Only when you reach a certain height can you see things clearly; otherwise, no one can explain them to you."

Shi Zhenhua changed the subject, "Right, there’s something I need to discuss with you."

"Hm?"

"Chen Zhou, I’m thinking of transferring him to the administrative department, what do you think?"

Shi Qianxi was a bit surprised, then said, "Dad, he’s your secretary, why are you asking me this?"

Shi Zhenhua looked at her for a moment and nodded.

"Okay, you should go and rest early."

"Dad, goodnight."

Shi Qianxi picked up her bag and stood up, not forgetting to take the project proposal with her.

Shi Zhenhua picked up his teacup, his face impassive.

Having the chance to leap through the dragon’s gate was already an extraordinary fortune.

If he didn’t seize it himself, he had no one else to blame.
