Yuxiu Hua’s spirit was roused. “That’s great. Speaking of which, this is the fifth contract you’ve signed this month. Not to mention your father, even your grandfather during his prime might not be able to match up to you.”
She secretly blamed herself for being distracted by s.h.i.+ Jin’s incident. She was so fl.u.s.tered that she had ended up being careless even on her daughter’s birthday. This was not something a good mother should do.
Her daughter was so capable. She was able to inherit the family business at such a young age. How could she think that s.h.i.+ Jin had defeated her?
s.h.i.+ Xuexin said with a smile, “Then I’ll be leaving first.”
“Go, go,” Yuxiu Hua said.
The servant said, “Miss is getting more and more amazing.”
“That’s right, she’s really my good daughter. Our s.h.i.+ family’s child is the best.” Yuxiu Hua was very proud.
The maid chimed in, “That’s for sure. In a place like the entertainment industry, it’s possible for a person to show off their beauty, but for someone like you, who can stand out in the business world, it’s not easy. There’s no comparison.”
Yuxiu Hua became even happier. These words touched the bottom of her heart. “Who would say otherwise? Oh right, go and make an appointment at Breeze Wind Pavilion… Forget it, I’ll make an appointment myself.”
Breeze Wind Pavilion was one of the top banquet venues in the capital city.
It was called Breeze Wind Pavilion, and in reality, the terrain suited the name of this building. It was built in a place with an elegant environment. It was warm in winter and cool in summer. Because of the structure of the building in summer, it could receive a breeze from all directions. It was very refres.h.i.+ng and pleasant.
In this big city where modern people relied on air conditioning all year round, it was a rare experience to be able to enjoy nature’s gifts while dining on delicacies.
Therefore, even those who did not have any appet.i.te would usually be happy to enjoy the wind in Breeze Wind Pavilion.
Now that it was summer break, it was the most suitable time to enjoy the pavilion. Naturally, it was crowded.
Yuxiu Hua was planning to personally make an appointment to hold a grand birthday banquet for s.h.i.+ Xuexin.

After s.h.i.+ Xuexin left, she went to meet the client with s.h.i.+ Qing and successfully signed the contract.
Not to mention Yuxiu Hua, even s.h.i.+ Qing was full of praise for s.h.i.+ Xuexin. “Xuexin, you really have the same style as me back then.”
“Dad, you’re flattering me.”
“It’s all thanks to you.” s.h.i.+ Qing did not understand why the company’s business had plummeted during this period. Fortunately, s.h.i.+ Xuexin was by his side.
s.h.i.+ Xuexin said gently, “This is my duty.”
“Let’s go. Get in the car and go home.”
“No, Dad, I’m meeting a friend for dinner.”
s.h.i.+ Qing did not insist and said, “Go ahead then.”
s.h.i.+ Xuexin immediately called Chen Jierou. “Jierou, come out and accompany me.”
Soon, they met at a mall.
Chen Jierou saw s.h.i.+ Xuexin and said, “This is great. Shall we go shopping together?”
“Sure. Buy some clothes with me.” s.h.i.+ Xuexin held hands with her and walked towards an affordable store.
“Eh, Xuexin, what’s wrong with you? Why are you buying such cheap clothes? Is the s.h.i.+ family in a difficult situation now? But no matter how difficult it is, it shouldn’t be this bad, right?”
“That’s not it.” s.h.i.+ Xuexin shook her head and said, “I plan to meet someone. He has always dressed plainly, so I don’t want to look too flamboyant.”
Chen Jierou heaved a sigh of relief. “I see. Who is it?”
“My brother, Gu Jingyuan.”
When s.h.i.+ Xuexin was at the Li family’s, she realized that Gu Jingyuan was dressed very simply, just like Old Master Li. His clothes were all bought and tailored by someone, and he rarely went out shopping himself.
At that time, the town itself had still had a tailor shop, so the others had felt that it was normal, but sometimes, Xuexin didn’t like it. She felt that the style of the tailor was too old-fas.h.i.+oned, and nice lace edges weren’t even an option.
However, since Gu Jingyuan liked it this way, there was nothing wrong with her following his lead.
She had to admit that it was necessary to build a good relations.h.i.+p with Gu Jingyuan.
Out of the five contracts she had signed recently, four of them had been signed because of him. She had a good relations.h.i.+p with Gu Jingyuan and they had been siblings for twelve years before he moved.
Every time she spoke of the relations.h.i.+p she had with her siblings, her listeners would praise and admire her.

No matter how stupid s.h.i.+ Xuexin was, she knew that Gu Jingyuan was giving her face.
Beijing University’s Professor, Gu Jingyuan, the Genius Doctor Gu Jingyuan… He was sought after by many. He was much more impressive than her with her empty t.i.tles.
So she couldn’t wait any longer. She had to see Gu Jingyuan and salvage their relations.h.i.+p.
“Why? Do you have to dress worse when you see your big brother? Oh, I remember now. Is he Doctor Gu from First High School and Second High School? Xuexin, why are you so nice? You’re even taking me to see him!”
“Yeah, are you willing to come with me?”
“Of course, of course!”
Chen Jierou was more than happy to help s.h.i.+ Xuexin choose her clothes.
Her family was in the clothing business and she had even been to a show overseas. She was quite good at choosing clothes.
s.h.i.+ Xuexin also had her own plans. Currently, Gu Jingyuan did not have a girlfriend, so it would be good if he took a fancy to one of her friends.
However, she couldn’t let on and act like a mediocre matchmaker who had never seen the world. She could only use this method.
Soon, s.h.i.+ Xuexin changed into a cheap set of clothes and went to the hospital where Gu Jingyuan worked.
s.h.i.+ Xuexin asked a nurse about her brother’s office, and then walked over with Chen Jierou. She was still thinking about what to say to him.
They finally reached his office.
s.h.i.+ Xuexin waited until a patient left and Gu Jingyuan was alone in the treatment room before she knocked on the door and entered.
Gu Jingyuan was engrossed in writing when he heard a knock at the door. He looked up and was surprised to see that it was s.h.i.+ Xuexin.
What was she doing here?
“Big Brother!” s.h.i.+ Xuexin was the first to greet him.
Gu Jingyuan only raised his eyes once, but these eyes were unforgettable. There were also some similarities between his eyes and s.h.i.+ Jin’s.
He was wearing a white coat and had a transcendent aura.
Beneath the white coat was a white s.h.i.+rt. It was the kind that s.h.i.+ Xuexin was used to seeing. It had been specially made by the tailor and did not have any brand.
He was a man of integrity, so when he wore all these clothes, he looked exceptionally elegant, diluting their plainness.
“What are you doing here?” Gu Jingyuan’s voice was calm and emotionless.
This was not what s.h.i.+ Xuexin wanted either, but she no longer had Gu Jingyuan’s contact number.
