Chapter 946: 945. You read it wrong.
Tang Shu, who got a boyfriend in a muddled ss of a kiss, once again started fiddling with the corner of her textbook, looking as conflicted as possible.
“Leave that piece of paper alone, you’ve been doing this all morning. I suggest you turn the page?”
Ye Xiaohui, next to her, had long noticed her friend’s odd behavior, and after a bit of observation, she concluded —— the object of the girl’s conflict was definitely a man.
After being reminded, Tang Shu looked down and said, “Huh?”
The 49th page of “herbology 2,” which had been ravaged beyond readability, seed to have turned a shade darker where she had been gripping it.
“…”
She laid her head down on the table, deflated, her chin resting on the thick textbook while she heaved a long sigh.
“Spill it, which guy has got your heart aching?”
“How do you know it’s about a guy? Couldn’t it be sothing else?”
“Impossible,” Ye Xiaohui said with certainty, “I can’t think of any professional knowledge or scripts that could baffle you like this.”
Tang Shu raised an eyebrow, “You think so highly of ?”
“Mmm-hmm, if a combination of the generous and the decisive Tang Shu can’t solve the problem, then it must be sothing she’s not good at, like… a man.”
“Tsk, look at you, all experienced and annoying.”
Tang Shu even felt sowhat jealous— why did everyone else have sweet and honeyed relationships while she was being pressed down so hard by the other party?
As the end-of-class bell rang, and Professor Lu gathered his notes and walked out of the classroom, Ye Xiaohui finally had the chance to co over and whispered:
“So, I guess the man bringing out that expression is Mr. Jing?”
“I rember you’ve only t him once, Miss Hols.”
“Once is enough, you can’t hide the look in your eyes when you like soone.”
Ye – the experienced Hols – Xiaohui spoke as if she had “solved the case,” her expression saying, “Confess, tell what’s really bothering you, maybe I can give you so advice?”
Tang Shu was genuinely tempted and considered the offer seriously, after all, Xiao Ye Zi was always reliable, and soone who almost always had it together.
“Soone confessed to , and I accepted.”
“…?”
After a long pause, with a face full of question marks, Ye Xiaohui still couldn’t understand her friend’s point of conflict. Shouldn’t this be a joyous occasion for any girl? Why did it seem to be the opposite for her?
“Allow to summarize with the limited information you gave: Mr. Jing confessed to you, you accepted, and now you’re troubled by this… so the question is, do you like him?”
“I do.”
Tang Shu kept tapping her chin against the table, making small, dull sounds.
Ye Xiaohui felt her “Study God” brain wasn’t quite getting it, “So are you worried about the mismatch of your ages, family backgrounds, or careers?”
“What? No, I’m not troubled about that.”
Tang Shu never believed these could be obstacles between two people. She had traversed ti and space to be with everyone in this era; besides, even in Damo, different statuses were not considered a hindrance in her view.
Ye Xiaohui spread her hands, “Then I don’t get it. Isn’t it enough that two people like each other? Is anything else important?”
“…”
Important? Actually, it wasn’t that important. Tang Shu suddenly found herself acting childish.
So had she just been sulking with herself all this ti?
Oh my god~~~ Who’s going to save her?
Ye Xiaohui found that her good friend had stopped the self-destructive action of knocking her chin against the table, switching to tightly covering her delicate little face with both hands, which sohow felt incredibly cute.
“Pfft~”
This light laugh drew the attention of Cheng Ranran, who had been focused on note-taking next to her, causing her to frequently turn her head.
“What secret are you two discussing? Why do I always feel like you’re keeping sothing from ?”
The chubby girl pushed up her recently acquired pink glasses, full of scholarly seriousness, “And it’s sothing big, at that!”
“Nothing.”
“You’re mistaken.”
“???”
Even more so.

The late November sun was very warm, scattering evenly across the land like little golden beads, making the towering office buildings and crowded streets look extrely dazzling.
Approaching ten o’clock, the spacious lobby on the ground floor of Xu Corporation headquarters had been sectioned off with red ribbon by the staff. The LED screen at the very east end played the corporate promotional video, with over a hundred chairs neatly arranged in front. Around a dozen suit-clad personnel were directing the steady stream of guests to their seats.
“Hello, I’m a journalist from the Imperial City Evening News, this is my ID.”
“Hello sir, your seat is in Row 2, Seat 7.”
“Thank you very much.”
Two new dia personnel carrying caras and wearing badges quickly found their seats and took a mont to settle in before pulling out their notebooks to check their mos.
“Xu’s really holds the best chanical production chain in the Imperial City, managing to secure governnt orders for the second ti in a row.”
“No kidding. I heard last year they sold off two profit-making production lines to replace them with the latest models imported from abroad. Now that’s having money to burn.”
“I actually think it was a very bold investnt. Without the control of the most advanced production lines, they probably couldn’t have landed that deal.”
…
This was a grand press conference. Xu Corporation’s business in machinery may be slightly behind the foreign-funded Wen Enterprises, but in the Imperial City, almost no one dares to compete with them.
After representatives of new dia from the middle of the Imperial City’s financial and economic sectors had all taken their seats, a small team of five people erged slowly from the internal elevator, with a woman in a red business suit at the forefront exuding an aura of strong presence with her faint smile.
“President Xu has arrived, this is the future person in charge of Xu’s—”
“Tsks, this presence… simply fantastic, a true powerful woman!”
“I’ve heard there’s also a young master of the Xu Family still in school; who ultimately takes over is still up for grabs, right?”
“But it’s pretty clear that the existence of an age gap gives the Eldest Miss Xu a huge advantage, and moreover, her style has already won the support of many directors.”
“Hey buddy, let’s not worry about that; after all, it’s the Xu Family’s internal affairs. What I’m really curious about is the content of today’s reception…”
As the journalists were whispering among themselves, Xu Qianyu had already walked towards the temporarily constructed podium and took her place in the very center.
With the giant LED display on the stage changing to the Xu Corporation’s logo symbol, it signified the official start of the press conference.
“I’m very pleased to see everyone today, I represent Xu Corporation in welcoming all our friends here…”
Unknown how many caras were set up in the square corporation hall, as one question after another arose from the journalists below and Xu Qianyu answered with poised confidence, the sound of caras clicking never ceased throughout the venue.
