Did they just close a deal worth billions of dollars?
Or did they outsmart their opponents?
Or perhaps they recently acquired some impressive companies?
Otherwise, why would their lips keep curling upwards?
"Find out what popular restaurants and attractions nearby are loved by young girls."
Upon hearing Si Yechen's words, Qingmu suddenly realized that Lord Chen's good mood was related to Miss Qingyan!
When he entered the office just now, he happened to see Lord Chen on the phone with someone. Could that person be Miss Qingyan?!
"Lord Chen, you're becoming more and more concerned about Miss Qingyan."
In the past, Lord Chen would never ask him to find popular restaurants and attractions. He would simply let Qingmu handle the work after having a meal casually.
Ever since he met Miss Qingyan, the cold and aloof Lord Chen has become warmer, at least his eyes are no longer solely focused on work.
"The old man is right. I shouldn't devote myself entirely to work. It's time to consider important matters in life."
Upon hearing Si Yechen's words, Qingmu's mind was filled with several question marks.
"Lord Chen, are you talking about me?"
"Who else?" Si Yechen glanced at him with a hint of indifference and said, "When you have a girlfriend, you won't need to work overtime on weekends anymore, and your salary will be increased a bit."
Qingmu was stunned. Last time, when he wanted to enlighten Lord Chen about the benefits of having a girlfriend and help him step into the realm of marriage, he almost got sent to Africa by Lord Chen.
Has Lord Chen changed his mind now?
Could Miss Qingyan's charm be so great?
Did it make Lord Chen experience the sweetness of love?!
"Thank you, Lord Chen! I will find a girlfriend as soon as possible."
As Qingmu said this, he was about to take the files and leave, but he unexpectedly caught a glimpse of Si Yechen's phone lighting up out of the corner of his eye. Someone had sent him a message.
What surprised Qingmu wasn't the content of the message sent to Si Yechen, but rather Si Yechen's lock screen and home screen wallpapers, both of which featured a silhouette of a girl!
The posture of this girl clearly resembled Miss Qingyan!
"Do you find her attractive?" Si Yechen noticed his gaze and asked in a calm voice.
"N-No, how could I dare to look at Miss Qingyan..." Qingmu lowered his head, not daring to look anymore.
"Are you saying she's not attractive?"
"N-No, of course not..." Qingmu broke out in a cold sweat. "Miss Qingyan's beauty is beyond description. Words like 'a beauty that could topple cities and ruin nations' are insufficient to describe her charm. Her beauty is like that of a celestial being descending to the mortal realm, unparalleled in the world. She is a perfect match for you, Lord Chen, a pairing made in heaven."
Si Yechen curved his lips. "You know quite a few flattering words."
"I am usually lacking in knowledge and learning, but it's just that Miss Qingyan's beauty inspires all the elegant vocabulary in my mind. It's because Miss Qingyan is incredibly beautiful!"
"Qingmu."
"Hey, Lord Chen, you called for me," Qingmu felt a bit uneasy inside.
"You've been with me since you were eight, and I haven't treated you well enough in terms of compensation," Lord Chen said.
Upon hearing this, Qingmu was instantly stunned. What did Lord Chen mean?
"No, no, no, I haven't been mistreated. The compensation you've given me is the highest in the industry! I am already content!" Qingmu quickly responded.
"No, you mustn't have a short-sighted perspective and be complacent," Lord Chen insisted.
Qingmu: ????
"Starting from this month, I'll double your salary," Lord Chen announced.
Upon hearing this, Qingmu couldn't contain his excitement. "Thank you, Lord Chen! In the future, I will wholeheartedly carry out any tasks you assign, especially those related to Miss Qingyan. I will ensure your satisfaction!"
"Mmm."
"Well, if there's nothing else, I'll go now."
Qingmu couldn't believe that praising Miss Qingyan was more effective than finding a girlfriend!
The salary hadn't been raised in three years!
All because he complimented Miss Qingyan's good looks, he was rewarded with a doubling of his salary!
While Qingmu was still excited, he suddenly heard Si Yechen's voice.
"Hold on." Si Yechen seemed to remember something. "Those few groups we recently acquired..."
"Lord Chen, are you referring to those luxury conglomerates? Don't worry! They are all under the Si family now!"
"What do you think about their new Forever Love collection? Do you think she would like it?" Si Yechen asked.
Upon hearing this, Qingmu realized that Lord Chen had called him for this matter!
He hurriedly replied, "Lord Chen, you're really joking! With Miss Qingyan's appearance, she would look beautiful even in a sack!"
"Oh?" Si Yechen raised an eyebrow and looked at him.
"As long as it's a gift from you, Miss Qingyan will definitely like it! After all, it's not just a gift, but also a sincere expression of your feelings for her! She will be touched when she receives it!"
"This weekend, take a break and don't work overtime."
Qingmu was overjoyed. "Thank you, Lord Chen!!!"
The Li family.
When Zhang Ma saw Li Yuanfu and Song Qiaoying holding hands and going for a walk in the garden, she hurriedly called Li Yusha over and whispered, "Miss Yusha, it must be tiring for you to personally go and buy things for Madam."
Before Li Yusha could respond, Zhang Ma continued anxiously, "It's not enough to just please Madam. The most important thing is Mr. Si..."
As Si Yechen was mentioned, a worried expression appeared on Li Yusha's face.
"It seems that Ah Chen's attention is focused on his sister... You saw it last time in the garden. He was cold towards me. I don't know if it's because there was something wrong with the soup I cooked, which worsened Grandfather's condition. His impression of me has soured, and even Grandfather doesn't treat me the same way as before..."
"You have to do something to salvage the situation," Zhang Ma analyzed for her. "Currently, Madam still has feelings for you, so naturally she cares and dotes on you. But as time goes by, their feelings for the Sixth Miss will deepen, and their feelings for you will fade!"
"I know."
"Miss Yusha, you should still hold onto Mr. Si, so you can find shade under this tree in the future..."
"Well, what do you think I should do?"
Li Yusha faced continuous setbacks and couldn't bear to lose face. She couldn't take that step forward, especially since she had been living a comfortable life all these years and had never been so submissive.
Since Qingyan returned to this household, she had suffered more grievances than she had in the past decade!
"Miss Yusha, listen to me..." Zhang Mama looked around, approached her ear, and whispered something.
Li Yusha hesitated, "Is this... Is it really going to work? What if..."
"There are no 'what ifs'!" A hint of certainty flashed in Zhang Mama's eyes. "Even if Mr. Si initially rejects you, as long as you move him with your sincerity, there won't be any trouble for Miss Liu in the future!"
Li Yusha's hesitation diminished, and her conviction grew stronger than before. Just then, she heard a sound from the corner. Startled, she asked, "Who's there?"
"It's me, Miss Yusha." The butler came out.
Li Yusha and Zhang Mama exchanged glances, unsure of how much the butler had overheard. Both of them felt a sense of unease.
"No need to panic, Miss Yusha. I am on your side," the butler said respectfully. "I apologize if I startled you earlier."
Upon hearing the butler's words, Li Yusha struck a pose. "My sister is my parents' biological daughter. Why would you stand on my side instead of hers?"
