Chapter 153 [Shi Yi 003] Anyone who didn't know better would think he was pursuing her.

Laiga was established four years ago under the Yi family, and it mainly produces mid-range women's jewelry and perfumes.

Unlike their parent company's high-end jewelry marketing approach and the different target audience, Laiga's brand awareness has gradually increased in the past two years.

They had never tried live-streaming sales before.

If the sales speed during Shi Wan's live stream last time is maintained, the combined monthly sales volume of a regular official flagship store and offline stores cannot match it.

Her sales figures from that live stream that night even made it to the trending topics.

So in the following week, hundreds of brands contacted her team, and Shi Wan is now overwhelmed with product selections.

Meanwhile, Lei Jia's idea was to hold a special event.

On the day Shi Wan led her team to negotiate business with Laijia, she did not meet Yi Xu. Laijia's side was represented by the executive CEO and several heads of the marketing department.

She is a businessperson who always prioritizes business. Every time she collaborates with a brand, she makes thorough preparations beforehand, including gathering data from the brand and knowing what kind of benefits will appeal to netizens.

I did see Yi Xu on the day of product selection.

It was already April, and the weather was getting warmer. Yi Xu was wearing a casual, loose white shirt and trousers, without a tie or a suit jacket.

They don't look like they're here to work; they look like they're here to go shopping or walk the runway.

The two stood facing each other from a distance of five or six meters.

Shi Wan wore a black floral camisole underneath a dark red suit jacket with the sleeves rolled up to her elbows. Her hair was casually draped over her shoulders, making her look capable and radiant.

Her face, especially with makeup, was particularly beautiful.

Although she is an internet celebrity, her appearance is somewhat aggressive, like a wildfire rose, which is beautiful and bright and easily recognizable. Some fans are particularly attracted to her looks.

Because of the rumors that circulated between the two last month, although they both clarified the situation, the eyes of the dozen or so people present still couldn't help but linger on them.

Yi Xu simply nodded to her and casually greeted her, "Long time no see."

"Well, long time no see."

Shi Wan smiled slightly and responded nonchalantly.

The two remained completely indifferent, not in the warm manner of close friends, but rather as if they had just met and there was a hint of awkwardness between them.

This instantly extinguished the gossip-loving crowd around them.

They hadn't seen each other for over a month, and this was only the second time they had met since they first met.

Because it was a work setting, I didn't feel embarrassed.

Shi Wan is quite strict in selecting products and has a good eye. She selected three main products, followed by more than twenty pieces of jewelry and four perfumes.

There was one perfume she really liked; it had a very light, non-pungent scent that was very pleasant to smell.

"like?"

Yi Xu stood beside her, watching her repeatedly smell the perfume, and asked a question casually.

Shi Wan glanced at him and nodded, "This tastes good; it can be our main product."

"If you like, you can take a few bottles back with you." Receiving her gaze, Yi Xu said calmly, "They're just samples."

Shi Wan didn't stand on ceremony, her red lips curving into a smile, "Since President Yi has said so, then I won't stand on ceremony."

Normally, when doing live streaming, brands are expected to provide samples, but jewelry is not like cosmetics, skincare products, or food.

After selecting the products, the live broadcast was scheduled for next Saturday. Shi Wan told the people at Laijia, "I hope that the appraisal reports and information for these jewelry and perfumes can be sent to us this week, because our team also needs to do some preparation work."

“That’s for sure.” Leijia’s CEO smiled and shook her hand. “I’ll leave it to you, Ms. Shi.”

"Mr. Shi, you're too kind."

"Look, this is our first time working together, and it's almost lunchtime. I would like to ask Ms. Shi to do me the honor of having a meal with us, and I wish us a pleasant collaboration in the future."

Shi Wan smiled and said, "Then I shall respectfully accept your offer."

There were too many of them, so they split into two elevators to go down, but it was still a bit crowded.

Shi Wan and Yi Xu stood side by side, their arms touching. For some reason, Shi Wan deliberately shifted to the other side, leaving a finger's width between their arms.

Yi Xu happened to catch her little movement, narrowed his eyes, glanced at her indifferently, and then looked away.

The restaurant was a high-end Chinese restaurant, and nearly twenty people filled one table.

As luck would have it, Shi Wan was arranged to sit next to Yi Xu again.

The dishes had been ordered in advance, and they were served shortly after they sat down.

After raising their glasses together, President Shi looked at Shi Wan and said, "I've heard that Miss Shi has a very good alcohol tolerance. If I didn't have work to do this afternoon, I would definitely challenge you to a drinking contest, and we wouldn't leave until we were both drunk."

Speaking of drinking capacity, Shi Wan inexplicably recalled the night of the picnic when she competed with Yi Xu in drinking. She frowned slightly and subconsciously turned her head to look at Yi Xu next to her.

Unexpectedly, Yi Xu was sitting sideways, leisurely glancing at her with a calm expression and a slight curve to his lips, looking completely nonchalant.

If there hadn't been so many people around, she really would have rolled her eyes.

Yi Xu nodded thoughtfully, deliberately drawing out his words, "Hmm, she has a pretty good alcohol tolerance."

"..."

Shi Wan sensed a hint of mockery in her voice.

She ground her back teeth and subtly kicked his shin with the tip of her high heel under the table, while smiling brightly and charmingly, "Mr. Yi, you flatter me. How can my alcohol tolerance compare to yours?"

Her shoes had pointed toes, and she stomped down hard, causing him to feel a distinct pain.

He held back his groan and stared intently at her with a furrowed brow.

That "you" sounded incredibly hypocritical and grating.

Yi Xu didn't change his posture, not even moving his long legs, and asked in a flat tone, "Want to find an opportunity to compete?"

"Okay."

Shi Wan agreed without a smile on her face.

It won't hurt to agree; who knows if we'll compete again in the future!

She's a very busy person.

Mr. Shi asked curiously, "Mr. Yi, Ms. Shi, you two must have known each other for a long time, right?"

"Unfamiliar."

"Not long."

A clear, languid voice and a crisp, slightly cool tone mingled together, sounding simultaneously.

The former is Shi Wan, and the latter is Yi Xu.

The large private room fell silent instantly, and everyone's eyes were fixed on them.

Yi Xu glanced at her as if no one else was around and asked, "Aren't we familiar with each other?"

We've already slept in the same bed, how can we not be familiar with each other?

Shi Wan smiled and asked, "Are we familiar with each other?"

She emphasized the word 'we'.

"It seems I was just being presumptuous. I thought... we were close enough." Yi Xu raised an eyebrow, his voice indifferent.

"..."

That statement... had a slightly suggestive meaning.

It's easy for people to have all sorts of wild thoughts.

People who don't know the situation would think he was pursuing her.

Shi Wan said, "After all, this is only the second time we've met today."
