Chapter 22: Listen to Advice, You Will Prosper

“Sister Shen, I’m trying to get information about Qin Yanzhou, but there’s no sound. Chun’s voice is overflowing from her throat, so sweet it makes me numb.”

Shen Muyan panicked for a moment, but quickly regained her composure: “Mr. Qin, how dare you try to get information about me?”

“Heh.”

The person on the other side clearly believed her.

“I’ll be arriving at the port soon, Sister Shen, please be a good host. Since it’s a matter for Sister Shen, Qin will naturally receive the invitation.”

“Okay, okay, it’s all the same.”

“Good, I’ll be waiting for you then.” Shen Muyan nodded and was coaxed away.

“Hmm.” Qin Yanzhou was also affected by the change in the girl’s emotions on the other side, and accepted the invitation, ending the call.

A few minutes later, the head of a certain project knocked on the door, holding a file folder, carefully observing Qin Yanzhou’s face.

“Mr. Qin, you seem to be in a good mood today. This planning document should pass, right?”

“Will I be scolded?”

“Mr. Qin, this planning document needs your signature and review.” The head of the project bowed respectfully, placing the document neatly on Qin Yanzhou’s desk, his hands clasped in front of him, waiting for his instructions.

The office was quiet, only the sound of paper turning. The more quiet it was, the more it made people tremble with fear.

“What’s written in this?”

Qin Yanzhou didn’t give any face, even to this talented individual. He casually tossed the file folder aside, not even raising his eyebrows, and gave a sharp critique.

“Re-write it immediately.”

The head of the project quickly bowed his head again, clasped the file folder in his arms, and took advantage of the fact that Qin Yanzhou hadn’t scolded him yet to speed away, leaving the office.

“Ai, no matter how good Mr. Qin is, the documents that should be beaten still need to be beaten.”

“The plan basically follows the same pattern as Mr. Qin’s previous ones, it’s difficult!”

“Money is hard to earn, and shit is hard to swallow.”

—— Hong Kong, Half a Villa——

“Yanyan, you’ve lost weight in Shanghai.” Upon returning to Hong Kong, Shen Muyan was greeted by her mother’s warm welcome. Her mother raised her hands and pinched the soft flesh on her cheeks, finding it painful.

“Mommy, I haven’t lost weight, we haven’t seen each other for a long time.”

Shen Muyan put her arm around Mu Zhen, and the two leaned against each other as they entered the living room. Following behind was a fluffy Samoyed, wagging its fluffy tail, with a light chain dangling from its neck.

“Are you used to Shanghai?”

“The food, the climate, the life, it’s a bit different from Hong Kong.”

Mu Zhen and Shen Muyan hadn’t seen each other for a long time. Originally, they were supposed to be in Shanghai for a while, but the business of Yihao Leather was already very busy, and they didn’t have time to spend with Yanyan. It would be a distraction.

“I adapt very quickly.” Shen Muyan took a bite of the jade strawberry with a fruit fork. It had just been airlifted in today, sweet and juicy, her favorite.

“Come here, let your sister hug you.”

The Samoyed kept rubbing against Shen Muyan’s clean calf, finally attracting her attention.

“Woof.” The round, fluffy head darted into Shen Muyan’s arms, its hind legs still on the ground, its tail wagging even more.

“Fat.”

“It almost got into trouble while accompanying your father fishing.” Mu Zhen was the first to accept this dog. Later, it was actually very good at coaxing her, and she got used to it.

Shen Muyan pinched its ear: “Little rascal.”

While chatting with Mu Zhen upstairs, she felt a little sleepy and went upstairs to rest first.

“And when will Mr. Qin arrive? I’ll save my energy for today.”

——

The next day, at 10:00 am, Qin Yanzhou landed in Hong Kong.

He had just come from the airport and checked the time. It was 10:30, and he planned to call Shen Muyan.

At this time, she must still be sleeping lazily.

“I’ll send a message later, calling her might annoy her.”

“Forget it, let her sleep for a while.”

However, Shen Muyan was already up and meticulously dressed this day.

Upstairs, she occupied half of the villa’s floor, with various dresses and jewelry dazzling, even more elaborate than her outfits.

Taking Xu Ling’s lesson to heart, she figured that Mr. Qin should like the mature style.

She went for a pure desire style, putting on a unique, off-the-shoulder, milky yellow halter dress with a ruffled hem. Although the hem reached her ankles, the slit went all the way to her thigh, and with each graceful step, her slender legs were faintly visible.

The design also included a fitted waist, with a pearl chain embellishment, elegant and gentle.

“You’re dressing up so beautifully, who are you going to see?”

Xu Yang had learned last night that Shen Muyan was back in Hong Kong, and rushed over from next door. As soon as she entered the room, she saw Shen Muyan picking out accessories and teased her.

“To see Qin Yanzhou.”

Shen Muyan put on the pearl necklace, and Xu Yang gracefully spun her around, full of anticipation: “You look beautiful, but what about Qin Yanzhou?”

“His reputation in the circle… is not very good.”

Shen Muyan shook her head: “Hearing is believing, seeing is believing.”

“Right now, I only like him purely, nothing more.”

“He’s a face-lover, and he admires strength. Qin Yanzhou’s appearance, his ability, everything about him hits my weak spot, it’s hard not to be moved a little.”

“Do you want to listen to my advice?” Xu Yang naturally picked up a cream puff beside her, crossed her legs, and her two fox-like tails lightly swayed.

Shen Muyan obediently nodded: “Tell me.”

“Shen Yunze and Qin Yanzhou are considered familiar, they’re both good foxes, but they both see through this man.”

“Qin Yanzhou has always been indifferent, even if he shows some interest, it’s just a passing fancy. If you fall for him, he’ll be the same as before, and in the end…”

“You’ll still get hurt.”

Xu Yang rarely spoke seriously to Shen Muyan, she wasn’t joking, her speech was slow and every word came from her heart.

Shen Muyan listened carefully, nodding like a chicken pecking at rice.

“Listen to advice, you will prosper.”
