Sheng Yue looked at Fang Duo and suddenly said, “Fang Duo, if you want to see Mr. Ming, I can arrange that for you.”
In fact, she wasn’t that nice.
But Fang Duo was different. She was Sheng Yang’s friend.
He Yuan was so jealous. She followed Sheng Yue like her henchwoman for several days, flattering her and trying her best to please her, but Sheng Yue had never said this to her.
Fang Duo was doubled over in laughter, laughing and waving her hand. “No need, if I want to see Mr. Ming, I can ask Yangyang to arrange that for me.”
“Hmph, stop bragging! Can she meet Mr. Ming?” He Yuan squinted at Sheng Yang. Sheng Yang was nothing but a pathetic village girl! Then He Yuan sneered. “That’s ridiculous. Just because Yueyue is on good terms with Ming Qi doesn’t mean you can brag like that! Bah, shameless!”
“Hmph, it’s you who’s shameless!” Fang Duo wouldn’t allow anyone to slander her friend. “He Yuan, you’re a sheer apple polisher.”
“Fang Duo, do you want to take a beating?”
Silently looking at Sheng Yang, Sheng Yue was wondering if Sheng Yang heard that she knew Ming Qi, so she went to where Ming Qi was staying in Yan City and used her name as an excuse to see Ming Qi.
If so, that was too much. Sheng Yang hadn’t even told her about it.
Back in the classroom, Sheng Yue took out her cell phone, but her cell phone received no message.
The day she came back from the dinner party, she sent a text message to Mr. Ming’s assistant, asking to meet Mr. Ming privately, but she got no response at all.
That was really strange. If he wasn’t interested in her, why did he treat her so special that day?
Was he playing hard-to-get?

Before the agreement between the Sheng Corporation and Ming Qi had been finalized, Jiang Xinyi went to Grandmother Sheng to subtly take credit for this.
Grandmother Sheng had heard of Ming Qi because he was a household name. She was addicted to playing mahjong and didn’t read the newspaper very much, but she heard her husband mention this name many times.
“Xinyi, why are you so amazing? I’ve always said that you’re no inferior to Kang Weizhen!” Grandmother Sheng praised her again and again.
“No, it’s not because of me but Sheng Tai,” Jiang Xinyi said modestly. Although it was all her efforts, she still had to pretend to be modest.
No matter how much Grandmother Sheng liked her, she was still an outsider in the Sheng Family.
“Really?” Sure enough, what she said made Grandmother Sheng very happy. “Great, Tai finally turned his mind to business. I knew it. He’s my son. He was certain to succeed.”
Grandmother Sheng clasped her hand over the back of Jiang Xinyi’s hand and said, “Xinyi, you can rest assured. I’ll talk to Old Sheng about this. Once Tai turns his mind to business, he’s sure to impress everyone. I’ll ask Old Sheng to give more shares to Tai to give him more leverage.”
Jiang Xinyi lowered her eyes and smiled gently, appearing humble and obedient. “Thank you, Mom.”

Although she was already in her third year of high school, Sheng Yang still liked to finish her homework at school so that she could use her time to study something she liked when she returned home.
She finished her homework very quickly, so it was no problem at all for her to finish all her homework at school.
Lately, with the help of Yi Juncheng, she had been working on the Beale Ciphers much more quickly.
Looking at the densely packed characters, Sheng Yang was completely immersed in them when suddenly her ears moved.
When she heard someone come in, she thought it was Yi Juncheng at first, so she didn’t look up. As the person approached, she smelled something chilly and murderous, not the familiar faint fragrance of Yi Juncheng.
