Zhang Ziqian's clear and affectionate "Xiaoxiao—" was like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, instantly stirring up strong ripples in everyone's hearts!
Everyone's first reaction was that Chen Xiao had arrived. Their eyes swept around like searchlights, searching for him.

A rare hint of obvious confusion flickered across Han Xue's usually cool face. This girl, Ziqian… usually addresses him respectfully as "President Chen" at the company, and mostly as "Boss" in private. Why is she calling him "Xiaoxiao" so affectionately in public today? And… Chen Xiao absolutely hates being called that kind of childish nickname; he feels it undermines his "authority." What's wrong with Ziqian today?
Shen Jun thought to herself—Zi Qian and Chen Xiao's relationship seemed to be beyond her imagination, since they were already calling each other "Xiao Xiao".

Feng Ting immediately perked up, stood on tiptoe, and craned her neck to look around: "Chen Xiao is here? Oh my, it's been so many years! Has the child changed a lot?" She was full of curiosity about this "mysterious" son of Teacher Shen.

Jia Hao finally seized an opportunity to chime in and even "showcase" his "connection" with Chen Xiao! He quickly squeezed forward, a self-satisfied smile plastered on his face, his voice rising a few decibels, tinged with a nostalgic "heroic spirit":
"Yes, yes! Aunt Shen, it's been years!" He looked at Shen Yun, trying to build rapport. "I remember when we were kids, Chen Xiao and I made a bet! The stakes were huge!" He deliberately kept everyone in suspense, successfully attracting their attention, before saying with a touch of "bragging," "I lost! I lost a Rolls-Royce model to him! Haha!"

He chuckled twice, his tone carrying an exaggerated "past is too painful to recall" tone, "But... I never kept my promise, aha—!" He tried to use this "childhood anecdote" to prove his "best buddy" relationship with Chen Xiao.

Car models? Han Xue glanced at Jia Hao. Was Chen Xiao such a womanizer when he was a child? He made bets that he would give away models. No wonder Jia Hao lost and couldn't give them away.

Shen Jun and Feng Ting didn't think that way. They knew it was a toy car that the children played with when they were little, and they thought Jia Hao was quite nostalgic.

Just as everyone was lost in thought, Zhang Ziqian waved vigorously in the direction she was calling, her face beaming with a bright smile: "Xiaoxiao! Over here!"

Everyone's eyes followed the direction she pointed with her arm—

Not far away, two tall and elegant young women were walking hand in hand.

When they saw who Zhang Ziqian was waving to, they were stunned again.

"Ah!" Jia Hao instantly recognized the people who had arrived and couldn't help but exclaim softly, his voice filled with surprise and a hint of professional excitement, "It's Xie Xiaoxiao and Qin Ning!"

Feng Ting asked in surprise, "You know him too?"

Jia Hao's gaze was fixed on Xie Xiaoxiao and Qin Ning, his eyes filled with admiration and a hint of barely perceptible humility. He explained, "Mom, they are some of the top car models! Absolute industry benchmarks! I work in the public relations department of Huadi Auto Group, and I often look at their profiles and have watched many of their press conferences... They are among the very best of the best in our industry!"

He paused, his tone tinged with helplessness and reality, "But... they definitely don't know me..." His voice trailed off, and he once again clearly felt the enormous chasm between himself and the real "figures in the clouds."

It turns out... the "Xiaoxiao" that Zhang Ziqian called out wasn't Chen Xiao, but this beautiful top car model—Xie Xiaoxiao!

"Xiaoxiao, look at Ziqian's setup... Such a grand procession over there, so many people 'welcoming' us!" Her tone was joking, but a subtle, almost imperceptible search lurked in her eyes, as if she were looking for a specific, anticipated figure in the crowd. Unfortunately, after scanning the area, she didn't find her target, and a faint hint of regret flashed across her eyes.

Xie Xiaoxiao had already spotted Han Xue next to Zhang Ziqian. Her gaze lingered on Han Xue for a moment. Hearing Qin Ning's teasing, a highly infectious smile bloomed on her bright face. She waved vigorously at Zhang Ziqian in response and quickened her pace with her long legs that had captivated countless viewers on the catwalk.

“I saw President Han!” she said to Qin Ning, her voice carrying a professional familiarity and respect. “As for the others…” she quickly glanced at Shen Yun, Feng Ting, Jia Hao, and Liu Li again, maintaining a perfect social smile, but honestly stating her feelings, “I don’t recognize any of them.” The social circle of top models has its own boundaries, and she did not hide her sense of unfamiliarity.

The two quickly approached.

"Ziqian! President Han!" Xie Xiaoxiao's voice was clear and crisp, carrying just the right amount of enthusiasm as she greeted Zhang Ziqian and Han Xue first. Her demeanor was poised and graceful, demonstrating both respect for Han Xue and closeness to Zhang Ziqian.

However, after greeting them, she paused subtly. Her beautiful eyes, filled with a mixture of expectation and slight bewilderment, looked expectantly at Zhang Ziqian. The meaning was clear: We need you to introduce the rest of them!

Zhang Ziqian herself hadn't figured out what kind of people Feng Ting and the others were up to, so she introduced them to Shen Yun first: "This is Miss Xie Xiaoxiao, she is..." She paused slightly, choosing the safest and most respectable way to put it, "She's a friend of President Chen—"

Shen Yun maintained a gentle and polite smile, nodding to Xie Xiaoxiao, but inwardly she was churning with turmoil, silently complaining:

"Sigh...this kid..." "His skill at picking up girls...is truly amazing! How come all his 'friends' are so...outstanding?"

Shen Jun sighed inwardly, wondering if he would end up with so many daughters-in-law that he wouldn't be able to recognize them all.

She quickly composed herself, her smile becoming even more kind and gentle. She took a half-step forward and, addressing Xie Xiaoxiao, who was visibly nervous yet wore a professional smile, spoke in a very gentle, elder-like voice:

"Xiaoxiao, right? Hello—." She paused, then introduced herself clearly and calmly: "I am Chen Xiao's mother—Shen Jun."

This simple sentence, this understated introduction of his identity—

It was like a silent nuclear bomb detonating right next to Xie Xiaoxiao's ear!

"what--!!!"

Xie Xiaoxiao's beautiful big eyes widened instantly! Her pupils contracted sharply due to extreme shock!
Her mind went completely blank! The gentle, smiling auntie in front of her... was actually Chen Xiao's mother. She felt her heart nearly leap out of her throat! So nervous—

"Ah—Hello, Auntie—" Xie Xiaoxiao's voice trembled noticeably with panic as she quickly bowed deeply to Shen Jun, even stuttering slightly from nervousness. "Hello, Auntie—" Qin Ning followed suit, bowing respectfully in return, her voice clearer than usual as she tried to conceal a barely perceptible hint of nervousness.

The two's sudden, almost out-of-control reaction, along with their high-pitched "Ah—!", left Feng Ting, Jia Hao, and Liu Li, who were standing nearby, dumbfounded!

Feng Ting thought to herself: Goodness, Teacher Shen's "mother" status is incredibly powerful! Look how scared she is of that big model! Teacher Shen's intimidation power... is it really that terrifying?
Shen Jun looked at the two beautiful women in front of him who instantly became nervous and flustered because of his identity. He still had a gentle smile on his face, but in his heart he sighed helplessly again: Alas, it seems that his son's "reputation" and "family background" are really... terrifying to people outside.

"This is my colleague, you can call her Teacher Feng. These two are Jia Hao and Liu Li, Teacher Feng's son and daughter-in-law," Shen Yun introduced them.

Xie Xiaoxiao and Qin Ning were incredibly intelligent and perceptive individuals. Having navigated the cutthroat world of fame and fortune, they had long since developed a keen eye for discerning relationships. They immediately picked up on Shen Yun's casual introduction, the obvious undertones of "ordinary colleague" and "colleague's family member" in her tone!

The teacher in front of them, Ms. Feng, clearly didn't have a deeper relationship with Aunt Shen Yun that they needed to pay special attention to. As for her son and daughter-in-law? They were even further removed, belonging to the peripheral figures who "didn't need special attention."

Despite having a crystal-clear understanding of the identities of Feng Ting and the other two, Xie Xiaoxiao and Qin Ning's smiles did not diminish in the slightest. They were impeccable "sincere" smiles, honed through rigorous professional training and experience in top-tier social settings.

"Hello, Teacher Feng!" Xie Xiaoxiao spoke first, her voice as sweet as honey. She gave Feng Ting a standard, respectful bow, her posture no less humble than when she had addressed Shen Jun, as if Feng Ting were a highly respected elder. "It's a pleasure to meet you!"

"Hello, Professor Feng! Hello!" Qin Ning followed closely behind, her usually cold and aloof face now beaming with a warm smile. She bowed slightly in return, her tone perfectly respectful, "It's an honor to meet you!"

This was truly a highlight in the lives of Feng Ting, Jia Hao, and Liu Li. Normally, supermodels like Xie Xiaoxiao and Qin Ning probably wouldn't even give them a second glance.

This was the first time in Feng Ting's life that she had been so close to a top car model and celebrity. The excitement and novelty she felt temporarily overshadowed her previous nervousness and awe. Looking at Xie Xiaoxiao, who was radiant and seemed quite knowledgeable about cars, she blurted out, almost without thinking:

"Teacher Xie, Teacher Qin," she subconsciously used honorifics, "You deal with these cars frequently and have extensive knowledge. Could you give us laymen some guidance?" She pointed to the Ruishi showroom and the HarmonyOS Smart Selection direction in the distance, "Between the Ruishi N7L, the Wenjie M7, and the Junxing M7, which car is more suitable?"

Qin Ning was cautious and wanted to observe the situation carefully. She habitually wanted to first observe the reactions of Shen Jun, Han Xue, and even Zhang Ziqian—after all, Junxing M7 was a brand of Junxiao Group! To comment on a competitor in this setting? The risk was too great! She needed to carefully assess the prevailing sentiment.

Xie Xiaoxiao, however, replied without hesitation: "Each has its advantages and disadvantages. HarmonyOS Smart Selection's advantages lie in its intelligence, quality control, and brand power; Junxing Auto's advantages are its excellent intelligence, outstanding quality control, and better-looking design than HarmonyOS Smart Selection's cars."

At this point, she changed the subject and pointed out the "shortcomings" of both cars: "However, these two cars have a common 'flaw'..." She deliberately dragged out her words and looked at Feng Ting.

Feng Ting listened attentively and subconsciously replied, "You mean...it's expensive?"

"Yes!" Xie Xiaoxiao nodded decisively, completely disregarding Shen Jun and Han Xue present, with a frank smile on her face. "To buy the configuration you want, the final price will be around 35 yuan." This courage and objectivity in speaking frankly about the "big boss" made Han Xue, who was standing next to her, show a hint of appreciation.

Feng Ting nodded repeatedly, deeply agreeing. She had just tried out HarmonyOS Smart Selection and it did feel great, but the price really made her hesitate.

"Then..." Feng Ting's gaze turned to the Ruishi N7L, which her son was promoting, and she asked with a hint of anticipation, "What about the Ruishi N7L? What are its advantages? What do you think of it?"

This time, Xie Xiaoxiao's answer was so concise that it caught everyone off guard!

She spoke almost without pause, using only two light, airy words:
"Not expensive—"

"..."

The air was quiet for a moment.

Feng Ting was waiting for Xie Xiaoxiao's analysis, but it ended with just two words. After waiting for 20 seconds, she asked, "Then... what about other advantages? For example, safety? Comfort?"

Xie Xiaoxiao shook her head decisively, her face bearing an expression that was almost "honest cruelty," and said firmly, "There's nothing else, right?"

Feng Ting turned to look at her son, Jia Hao, who worked for the Ruishi brand and had been praising it to the skies. Today, Feng Ting had visited several brands and, after comparing them, she largely agreed with Xie Xiaoxiao's assessment.

Jia Hao blushed and mustered his courage to say, "It...it also has other advantages!" His voice trembled slightly with nervousness and excitement, "For example...for example, it can turn around on the spot! And...it can float on water! These are all very advanced technologies!"

Xie Xiaoxiao couldn't help but laugh and retorted, "What's the use of that? Technology is meant to serve user needs, not just to launch a technology and expect customers to accept it. There needs to be an application scenario. Who buys a car and turns around on the spot every day? Is that necessary? It also wears out the tires. As for floating on water, if you want to drive on water, shouldn't you consider a yacht? I've never seen a car that can run on water."

She paused for a moment, then continued, "It's like someone is marrying off their daughter and goes on and on about how outstanding she is, saying she's the best in the world. Others, curious, ask, 'What's so outstanding about your daughter?' The person hesitates for a long time before finally managing to say, 'My daughter… is strong and powerful! Tall and imposing!'"

Shen Yun chuckled, finding the beautiful car model quite adorable. Yes, hot figure, sweet face, and cute personality. (End of Chapter)
