"President Leng, this... this isn’t appropriate, is it?" the hotel manager stamred.
According to the hotel’s regulations, it’s not allowed to retrieve a guest’s personal information without permission. This is both a show of respect to the guest and a way to protect their privacy.
"What, it’s not possible?"
"It’s... it’s not that it’s impossible."
How could it be impossible? If Boss Leng has spoken, even if it’s not possible, it has to be possible. He still wanted to keep his job at the hotel and didn’t want to be fired by his boss for offending Leng Yixiu.
Shortly, the hotel manager had soone retrieve the woman’s identity information from the hotel system.
He stared at the ID photo on the computer screen for a few seconds, his gaze finally landing on the conspicuous na next to the photo. His deep eyes narrowed dangerously.
Shi Yi?
What is this? Enemies et on a narrow path?
Leng Yixiu never imagined that he would encounter this mysterious opponent under such circumstances. Even more unexpected, this woman had the audacity to lay hands and feet on him.
He thought, whether public or private, he should et this woman.
Shi Yi’s return to the country this ti was mainly for the branch office selection matter.
A year ago, Lei Man established its first branch office in S City, a trial to see if they could penetrate the Chinese market. The result was what Shi Yi hoped for. In just a year, Lei Man had beco a leader among small and dium-sized enterprises in the industry and even snatched several important orders from so major companies.
This result gave Shi Yi considerable confidence and strengthened her determination to expand her business territory in China. The first step in expanding her business territory was to set up another branch office.
T City, with its superior geographical location in China and leading economic developnt level dostically, had also introduced many policies for small and dium-sized enterprises in the past two years. Therefore, it was unsurprisingly the most suitable choice for establishing a branch office.
Selecting a location for the branch office wasn’t supposed to be a big deal. Shi Yi originally planned to stay in the country for no more than a month, but she encountered considerable resistance when it ca to the land.
Originally, Lei Man had used so connections to get in touch with the person responsible for the land auction, and even the price of the land had been privately agreed upon. Who would have expected soone like Cheng Yaojin to co out of nowhere? And this Cheng Yaojin turned out to be the dostic industry leader Leng Group, with deep pockets and hard to deal with. As a result, all of Lei Man’s previous efforts went down the drain.
This infuriated Shi Yi. Their company was just choosing a location for a branch office. What did it have to do with Leng Group? Why would they interfere?
"Last month, we snatched an order from Leng Group. I heard that President Leng was very upset about it. So, this ti Leng Group suddenly stepped in, probably as a retaliatory action because of that matter," Shen Xu said leisurely, resting his chin on his hand.
Shen Xu was Shi Yi’s Chinese classmate at Carnegie llon. Despite his usual carefree deanor, he was very reliable when it ca to getting things done. Thus, Shi Yi sent him back to China to handle all matters of the branch office. It turned out Shi Yi was right; in just one year, Shen Xu had made great progress in the country.
"Is that so?" Shi Yi sneered, "In business, isn’t it normal for competitors to snatch orders occasionally? Leng Group really has no tolerance at all."
"A big company doesn’t necessarily have big tolerance. The bigger the company, the less they can tolerate being taken advantage of by smaller companies," Shen Xu looked up at Shi Yi, "So, what are you going to do next? You know, competing with Leng Group for that piece of land, our chances of success are minimal."
"Even if the chances are zero, I still have to fight for it. Besides, things haven’t reached the final step yet, and the outco is still uncertain." In Shi Yi’s world, there was no such thing as giving up.
"I knew it." Shen Xu leaned back and swiveled his boss chair a hundred and eighty degrees, then he took a folder from the desk behind him and handed it to Shi Yi.
"What’s this?"
"Sothing good." Shen Xu smiled mysteriously.
Shi Yi opened the folder and saw a stack of... photos of handso n. She frowned and looked at Shen Xu displeased, "This is the good thing you were talking about?"
"Don’t you think he’s very handso?"
"Handso?" Maybe a little, "But what does that have to do with ?"
"It has a lot to do with you." Shen Xu tilted his head and looked at the man in the photo, asking Shi Yi, "Do you know who this is?"
Shi Yi shook her head. In a world of over six billion people, how could she know everyone? Moreover, even if this man was good-looking, there were plenty of good-looking n in the world; it was normal that she didn’t recognize him.
"You don’t even recognize him, Shi Yi, sotis I really wonder if you are actually a woman."
The more Shi Yi listened, the more confused she got, "Not knowing him ans I’m not a woman? Are you joking?"
"I’m not exaggerating at all," Shen Xu said lazily, "Even old grannies on the street know him. As for the younger generation, even more so. You must be a freak or sothing."
"Whatever you say." Shi Yi interrupted impatiently, "Who is he?"
Shen Xu rolled his eyes at her, exasperated, then said slowly, "Ouyang Hao, my dear lady.’
"Ouyang Hao?"
Shi Yi frowned. For so reason, she found the na vaguely familiar. Suddenly, she rembered. When she left T City years ago, she had heard the na on the plane. If she recalled correctly, Ouyang Hao seed to be soone from the entertainnt industry.
"Are you talking about that superstar?" Shi Yi frowned. She couldn’t help but wonder, what did a superstar have to do with the land in the new district.
"No, no, no! Ouyang Hao hasn’t been a superstar for a long ti. Miss Shi, is the information in your head outdated? Can’t you keep up with the tis and learn more about the news in the country?"
"Sorry, I’ve spent most of the years in the United States and know very little about dostic matters."
"Alright then, let give you a good introduction." Shen Xu cleared his throat and started to explain leisurely, "Ouyang Hao is sowhat of a legendary figure in the country these past years. Apart from his prominent family background, he himself is quite remarkable. Initially, unlike his father and brother, he didn’t choose a political career but instead whimsically entered the entertainnt industry. His luck was incredibly good, and in just a year, he rose to beco one of the country’s top stars, a highly sought-after music idol. This status lasted for nearly ten years. Everyone thought he’d stay in the entertainnt sector forever, but he wasn’t soone to follow the expected path. For so unknown reason, he suddenly announced his retirent from music four years ago, and what’s more shocking is that after leaving the music scene, he chose the sa path as his father and brother—politics."
