“Do you think I need the two of you to examine the standards of my prospective partner when I know them best? Can’t I do it by myself? Go and get on with whatever you guys need to do.”
Disappointed, Xiao Bai shot Xiao Huang a meaningful glance to signal to him that it was time to retreat.
“Chief!!!” A powerful voice sounded from afar, and the three turned over to look while Xiao Lu called out, “Young Madam’s looking for you.”
“Got it, I’ll be right there.”
Fan Shixin turned over and didn’t see An Xiaoning, but he saw Jin Qingyan sitting alone in the living room. He went forward and asked, “Wasn’t it Young Madam who called for me?”
“Why, you’re upset that I was the one who called for you?”
“I’ll bet hell that you don’t dare to.”
Fan Shixin’s heart had broken down at this point as he remarked, “Ahem, ahem, Young Sir, please mind your language. Inappropriate use of words will affect your image.”
“Do you think I care?” With that, he continued, “She just went upstairs and will be coming down soon. Your happiness is more important, but even while you’re busy with that, you shouldn’t neglect other important matters you have to handle. You should know that there are very few people I trust. There’s a matter that I can’t let many people know about. Hence, I’ll be handing it for you and Xiaoning to handle together.”
“I’ll let your Young Madam tell you later what the matter is specifically.”
Fan Shixin watched how his Young Sir refused to tell him the matter himself and added, “I still have to go to the company later in the afternoon.”
“Tomorrow when I go to the company, you’ll handle the matter with your Young Madam.”
“Then, when you came back from the company this afternoon, did you talk to Dr. Yu already?”
“Yes, I did.” His words just landed when the sound of footsteps came from the stairway. Jin Qingyan made a gesture with his hands to signal Fan Shixin to stop talking about this topic, for fear that An Xiaoning would hear them.
Fan Shixin stood there thinking to himself, My dearest Young Sir, Young Madam already knows about that small secret of yours, okay?
An Xiaoning was wearing a set of casual clothing. It was evident that she wasn’t intending to leave the house today.
With a piece of document in hand, she came downstairs and passed it to Fan Shixin. “Come, take a look at this.”
“What’s this?”Visit website our Listnovel.com
“You’ll know after you read it.”
Fan Shixin took it from her and carefully read the content inside. Since he was a fast reader, he finished browsing through the whole document in no time.
After reading it, he placed the document back on the table. “So, this is the matter that Young Sir wants me and Young Madam to handle?”
“Correct.” An Xiaoning looked up. “Shixin, we’ve already had a previous experience of working together. This time around, I think that no matter how difficult it is, we can complete it together. No. 8 hasn’t recovered yet, so No. 5 will be joining us tomorrow.”
“I’ll leave Young Madam to make the arrangements as you like, then.” Fan Shixin had almost forgotten to mention a matter. “Right, Bu Xianxian and Shi Shaochuan have broken up. She even aborted their child at the hospital and is staying at her parents’ house at Sanqiao Estate right now.”
“She aborted their child?” An Xiaoning was perplexed. “Shi Shaochuan is the only son left in his family. Would he have allowed her to abort it?”
“Bu Xianxian took an old picture of herself to show Shi Shaochuan. I guess he made her abort it out of consideration toward the child’s genes.”
An Xiaoning nodded. “Okay, continue to send people to keep an eye on her. Instruct them not to underestimate her.”
“I’ll go and eat first, then.”
After eating, Fan Shixin headed to the company again.
While helping Jin Qingyan to handle matters in the company, he did not forget to make his selection out of the five thousand applicants at the same time.
Gripping onto the mouse, he started browsing through the applicants, starting from the very first one.
But the more he looked at these applicants, the tighter the crease on his brows grew.
Why on earth did they all look about the same?
At first glance, there wasn’t a single person that left a lasting impression on him. He had even forgotten how the earlier applicants looked like…
The more he browsed through, the more frustrated he grew.
However, he thought that amongst so many applicants, there was bound to be some who were outstanding. With this thought in mind, he continued browsing through the rest of the applicants.
After going through pictures of about three thousand applicants, Fan Shixin’s gaze landed on a particular picture.
Compared to most of the other pictures, which were heavily photoshopped, this picture appeared rather unique.
While others sent either selfies or artistic pictures of themselves, she sent a picture of herself during her schooling days.
The background was blue in color, and she was wearing a white blouse with her long hair over her shoulders. Her face had some simple makeup on, and her sparkling eyes seemed to be beaming with joy.
Fan Shixin glanced at her picture and only felt that she looked slightly familiar to him. It was like he had seen her somewhere before, but he could not remember when.
He then browsed through her personal background information.
Fan Shixin looked at her name and was instantly reminded of the person.
She was born from a reputable family in A City. However, in recent years, the Mu family had started to decline because of business giants like the Jin Corporation that had overshadowed them. As a result, the Mu Corporation had long been kicked out of the ranking amongst huge companies.
It could even be said that the Mu Corporation was in a precarious position. Fan Shixin had recalled who this person was completely because of her identity, which was the illegitimate daughter of the Mu family.
A few years back, there had been a time when this matter was all over the news in A City and was even known as one of the most well-known scandals in the business industry.
It was reported that she was the child of her mother and her grandfather.
When this scandal was reported, it invited the criticism and judgment of many netizens, who made her into a laughingstock. It appeared that she had also quit school because of this matter. Later on, when this scandal faded, he had not seen another piece of news about the Mu family anymore.
With his brows frowning deeply as he stared at her picture and personal information, he took a whole two minutes before eventually typing a reply to her on his keyboard.
Originally, he had intended to pick five people out of the five thousand applicants. However, after he had finished browsing through the five thousand applicants, he selected only two.
Just the thought of going on a blind date gave Fan Shixin a headache. It had really never occurred to him that he would land in a state where he had to go on blind dates to find his happiness.
He sat in his office and handled the company’s affairs until five in the afternoon. Out of respect toward his blind date, he even returned to Wei Ni Estate to change into a formal suit.
While he wore a white t-shirt inside, he had on a black summer suit on the outside.
His suit was left unbuttoned.
Just like that, he drove toward the designated café for the blind date by himself.
He was to meet the two women at the same café, with only a half-hour interval between each date.
The first date was arranged at 5:30 pm while the second one at 6 pm.
He felt that it would be clear whether or not he’d take a liking to the person just by chatting over a cup of coffee with her for half an hour.
By the time he arrived, it was 5:28 pm.
It was about the time arranged for the meeting.
The lady had yet to appear, so he ordered two cups of coffee and waited.
By the time the service crew served the two cups of coffee, it was already 5:33 pm.
But the lady still had not turned up.
Fan Shixin thought that she might have been late because of a traffic jam, so he stirred the coffee and drank it as he waited.
Little did he expect that even at 5:40 pm, she’d still be nowhere to be seen.
Time passed little by little, and when it was 5:45 pm, a lady in high heels and a miniskirt finally came walking in.
She scanned around the café first and finally approached the table Fan Shixin was sitting at before saying in a rather eager tone, “I’m sorry for being late, Mr. Fan.”
Fan Shixin looked up at her and instantly felt that the picture she had sent had been photoshopped rather heavily. In the picture, she had porcelain-white skin, huge eyes, double eyelids, sharp chin, and palm-sized face.
