The abandoned daughter of a wealthy family turns out to be a lucky charm, changing the fate of her e

No no no!

If I keep looking, I'll start swooning.

Shen Zhi immediately looked down at her phone. When she opened it, there were dozens of messages, all from Li Miao, filled with agitated questions.

The little girl replied to the message with a sly smile.

From Shen Linchuan's perspective, Shen Zhi was also breathtakingly beautiful.

When she lowered her head, a long, slender, and fair neck was fully revealed. Strands of hair fell beside her ears, brushing against her well-defined collarbone, making the lines of her shoulders and neck soft and beautiful, and her skin was so white it seemed to glow.

It was as if Shen Zhi was born to belong to this exquisite environment, making people want to present the best of everything in the world to her.

The French dishes were served one by one by the waiters, during which Shen Zhi and Shen Linchuan chatted casually about project cooperation.

Shen Zhi felt that it was really unreasonable for her older brother not to give her an extra salary.

Is there any employee more dedicated than her? She independently meets with partners to discuss cooperation and have meals.

Shen Zhi, holding a silver dinner knife, casually brought up the important matter:

"I won't beat around the bush with you. Let's talk about the sincerity of the Shen family that you just mentioned."

Shen Linchuan picked up his wine glass, his tone calm and composed:

"40/60"

With a crunch, Shen Zhi couldn't control her movement as she poked at the vegetable salad.

This profit distribution is indeed unprecedented.

As far as she knew, Shen's collaborations with other companies over the years had generally been split 20/80, with even 30/70 being rare.

It truly shows great sincerity.

"The Shen family has been deeply rooted in China for many years, and you can see that they have established a good reputation and distribution channels. However, while their core functions are large, our team is indeed not as good as the Li family in terms of cutting-edge technologies such as biosensor linkage."

"Now that the Li family possesses cutting-edge intelligent core technology that is unique in the world, cooperation between the two companies can be mutually beneficial and win-win."

Shen Zhi's eyes brightened slightly.

What Shen Linchuan mentioned is indeed the problem that the Li family is currently facing when entering the Chinese market. Chinese consumers do not have as much trust in the Li family's brand as they do in the Shen family.

The two parties are working together on development. The Li family provides the core technology, while the Shen family is responsible for production, distribution, and nationwide promotion. It's a win-win situation where neither party loses out.

Shen Zhi pondered for a moment, then chuckled and said, "I need to review the project proposal before finalizing the specific terms."

But there are probably no other problems.

"Can."

Shen Linchuan raised his wine glass and said, "Then I wish us a pleasant cooperation in advance."

After Shen Zhi got drunk last time, the Li family ordered her not to touch alcohol for a year. Shen Linchuan was also worried about her drinking, so the little girl's wine glass contained a non-alcoholic cocktail.

After the cooperation was finalized, Shen Zhi finally felt relieved and could relax and enjoy her meal.

Amazingly,

Shen Zhi didn't have a big appetite, and she originally thought she wouldn't be able to finish after a few dishes, but she was surprised to find that the portions of each dish in front of her were different from those of Shen Linchuan's, and were significantly smaller.

"Did you ask the chef to prepare a smaller portion for me?"

"Yes, the assistant said that girls have small appetites, so she specifically asked the chef to prepare less."

Shen Zhi was very satisfied with this arrangement. She was just greedy, but her stomach was too weak. She would get full after eating only a little bit each time, which meant she didn't have time to eat many of the delicious foods later.

The matter was small, but it was done with great care.

"Thank you, Shen Linchuan~"

Just then, a gentle breeze blew by, and Shen Zhi's loose hair fluttered in the wind. Along with her clear and sincere smile, it stirred up ripples in Shen Linchuan's heart.

"No need to thank me, it's my pleasure."

Just then, the restaurant's violinist began to play. Shen Zhi, not having heard Shen Linchuan's reply clearly, blinked in surprise and asked again:

"Huh? What did you just say?"

Shen Linchuan chuckled lightly and changed his words:

"If you like it, we'll come back to eat again next time."

Next time...

So you're already asking her out for dinner again?

Shen Zhi puffed out her cheeks, hummed softly twice, and nodded almost imperceptibly in agreement.

Many years later, when Shen Linchuan recalled this scene, he still felt a small, happy joy in his heart.

When you think about those tiny, insignificant things for someone you like, the first thing you feel isn't trouble, but happiness—a deep, overwhelming happiness.

After returning home, Shen Zhi entrusted the matter of cooperating with the Shen Group to Li Xin.

She was only responsible for the Li family's technology research and development; Shen Zhi didn't understand the project's progress or management.

Unlike Li Xin's admiring gaze, Li Miao's eyes were filled with as much resentment as could be.

The man, who was always meticulous to the last hair, now had his hair all messed up, his tie was pulled crooked, and he was slumped on the sofa as if his soul had been taken away.

Shen Zhi didn't dare to speak and prepared to sneak upstairs.

"Shen, Zhi—you stop right there!"

Shen Zhi immediately brought her legs together, placed her hands on her thighs, and turned around as if standing at attention:

"arrive!"

"How can you be such a fickle sister? If I hadn't gone to help you out, would I, your third brother, have been surrounded by that group for two whole hours? I didn't even have time for dinner! And you, on the other hand, are out there eating and drinking well with that person!"

Shen Zhi wanted to laugh, but she pursed her lips tightly.

Stop talking so loudly!

Shen Zhi pointed her little finger to the kitchen, defending herself: "You're wronging me! I did bring you a small cake!"

Li Miao seemed to see through everything, and snorted coldly:

"Did you bring that especially for me? Didn't you bring it back because you couldn't eat it but didn't want to go without it?"

!!!

Oh dear, she discovered that her third brother is a very serious person!

"Eat it or don't, it's up to you. If I find my little cake is gone tomorrow, I'm canceling all three paintings I promised you!"

"?" Li Miao laughed in anger. "I've been busy all day, cleaning up your messes and standing guard, and in the end you even canceled all the benefits I received? Shen Zhizhi, I realize it's a real shame you're not in business, you big shrewd businesswoman!"

Shen Zhi stuck out her tongue at him, then, with her sharp eyes, spotted Li Xin walking over and called out sweetly, "Big Brother!"

She whined and accused Li Miao of his misdeeds:

"Big brother~ Third brother bullied me. He wants me to draw three pictures for him, three pictures!"

Shen Zhi held up three fingers, her lips pouting, looking utterly pitiful as she counted them on, her tone as pathetic as could be:

"If Zhizhi really finishes drawing three pictures, her hands will be sore..."

Ծ‸Ծ.

Li Xin couldn't stand Shen Zhi acting cute, so he immediately glared at Li Miao with a sharp look and warned her:

"Are you itching for a beating? So free, how about I arrange a job for you as a top male escort at a nightclub, so those rich young women can scratch your skin?"

"Big brother! Why do you always protect Zhizhi?! I..."

"Or do you prefer younger men?"

"..." Li Miao was truly defeated by Li Xin's sharp tongue. He even missed the time when his older brother was still mute.

"Alright, alright, I won't say anything more."

Li Miao returned to his room listlessly. He was too tired today and in poor condition. He would settle accounts with that little devil Shen Zhi another day!

She owes herself a collaborative painting, and she also owes the model a painting—not a single one can be missing!

Shen Zhi smiled slyly.

Li Xin looked at Shen Zhi with tender eyes and asked softly:

"Who did you go out with this afternoon? You seem so happy?"

"Hmm... just an old friend."

A sharp glint flashed in Li Xin's eyes, but he concealed it perfectly, as if he truly believed Shen Zhi's words, and instructed her like an elder:

"It's best to take Xingxing and Yangyang with you when you go out. I feel at ease with them by my side. Take good care of yourself and don't overwork yourself."

"Okay, bro, I know. I'm going upstairs to shower and go to bed now. Goodnight, bro!"

"Okay, goodnight, Zhizhi."

Only after the girl's figure disappeared at the top of the stairs did Li Xin walk to the living room balcony with a sullen face.

From here, you can see Shen Linchuan's villa next door.

When Shen Zhi returned home that evening, the person who had driven her there eventually parked the car next door.

Shen Linchuan took Zhizhi out to play for an afternoon.

Just thinking about this made Li Xin's fist, which was resting on the glass railing, suddenly clench.
