My father's inheritance is my mortal enemy.

After leaving the restroom, Ning's mother went to order another dish before returning to the private room. As she sat down, she looked up at Li Bo and said, "Xiao Bo, there was someone at the door just now. He looked like your friend. He was quite tall and seemed like a handsome young man. See if you can find out anything."

Li Bo paused for a second, then smiled and said, "Okay."

He picked up his phone and glanced at it; there were no messages, and he didn't expect any.

Li Bo has changed his phone. When he was in Beijing, he had many classmates and business partners, so it's normal for some of them to know him, but they haven't been in contact with him for a long time and can't be reached.

Ning's mother said it was quite tall, and Li Bo immediately thought of Zhou Yanshao. His heart clenched, and he jumped up and walked out, saying, "I'm going out to take a look."

Li Bo left the private room, went through the restroom to the lobby entrance, but didn't see any familiar figures. He paid the bill and went back to the private room.

Ning's mother asked with concern, "Did you see it?"

"No, I guess something's wrong."

Li Bo returned and sat down. His secretary asked, "Did President Jian Yue study in Beijing before?"

Li Bo replied absentmindedly, "Yes."

The meal ended quickly, probably because Li Bo was lost in thought the whole time and didn't eat much.

He can no longer taste anything; everything tastes pretty much the same. Fortunately, he still has his sense of smell, so he can still distinguish all flavors. However, when food is in his mouth, some of it tastes like chewing wax.

After finishing his meal, Li Bo glanced at the time.

Ning Zhi offered to take you back.

He patted Ning Zhi on the shoulder: "No need to see me off, my secretary and I will take a taxi together. It's getting late, you should take your uncle and aunt home to rest early, it will be rush hour soon and there will be traffic jams."

Ning's parents tried to persuade him for a while.

Li Bo insisted that the hotel and Ning Zhijia were in opposite directions and not on the same route.

Ning Zhi finally nodded. As they left, Ning Zhi was about to pay the bill when the receptionist looked at Li Bo and said, "This gentleman has already paid."

Li Bo smiled and said, "This is also my secretary's first time in the capital. Being away from home, I, as her boss, forgot about the solar terms. Thank you for reminding me. Thank you for tonight, the dishes Auntie ordered were delicious."

"I'll treat you next time."

"Okay." Li Bo and his secretary hailed a taxi at the entrance and returned to the hotel.

After washing up, Li Bo flipped through some documents, took a sleeping pill, and finally fell asleep when he felt sleepy.

The next morning, Li Bo and his secretary had breakfast at the hotel. Li Bo then went to present the bid, bringing his secretary and documents with him. The general manager attached great importance to this project and arrived early.

As luck would have it, the group ran into the Platinum team.

When Jiang Feng and the planning director saw Li Bo, their pupils dilated slightly: "President Bo."

The greeting came out spontaneously, "What's wrong?"

Li Bo extended his hand and shook it: "Lai Shubiao."

Jiang Feng shook Li Bo's hand, then looked up at the general manager of Li Bo's company: "General Manager Liu."

"General Manager Jiang."

After a brief greeting, Jiang Feng led his team inside to present their bids, following the established order. Once they were gone, the general manager asked Li Bo, "Do you know them?"

We used to work together.

"Oh~ I knew it." The general manager wasn't too surprised. Although Li Jianyue's resume didn't list any work experience, he could tell from her speech and planning that Li Bo must have work experience and was definitely not just someone who talked the talk but didn't walk the walk.

……

In the conference room.

There were still two empty seats in the commentary booth; not everyone had arrived yet.

As the planning director of Platinum was preparing for work, he looked up and saw Wan Gong enter, leaning on a cane, followed by a tall, handsome man with his hands in his pockets, dressed casually and wearing a hat.

As Mr. Wan sat down, the bidding company representatives greeted him warmly. Mr. Wan nodded slightly and said, "Please make yourselves at home. I brought my grandson to take a look."

The planning director looked at Wan Gong's grandson, Zhou Yanshao.

Everyone in Beijing's high society knows that the Wan and Zhou families only have one son, who has reached marriageable age but has no interest in the family business and is focused on becoming an athlete in Northern Europe.

Everyone has their own ambitions. Zhou Yanshao is an outstanding athlete. It's just a pity that Wan Gong is still working so hard at his age.

In the past two years, many people have wanted to curry favor with Zhou Yanshao, but unfortunately, he was abroad and had no opportunity.

Several powerful figures in Beijing secretly sent their daughters to ski resorts in Scandinavia, hoping to exchange a few words with Zhou Yanshao and climb the social ladder by associating with the Zhou family. However, the results were disappointing.

It is said that Zhou Yanshao occasionally wears a ring when he is not training, indicating that he has a girlfriend.

Wan Gong stared at Zhou Yanshao's black hair: "Why did you suddenly decide to dye your hair back?"

Yesterday she had silver hair, but today it's turned black.

"I'm tired of seeing this." Zhou Yanshao didn't say anything, but stood up. "I'm going out for a smoke."

Zhou Yanshao returned after smoking a cigarette, and the presentation began.

Wan Gong said, "Listen carefully and give me some advice."

"Um."

Zhou Yanshao understood, of course, that his grandfather wanted him to stay in the capital. If he gave his opinion and then didn't stay in the capital, he would be letting his grandfather down.

After Platinum Pro finished its presentation, Zhou Yanshao didn't even glance at them, remaining cold and indifferent. Several planning directors in succession had been turned down, and no one knew what had displeased Young Master Zhou. He didn't even look at them or raise his head, and the atmosphere was extremely tense.

When it was almost Li Bo's turn, a female director who had just finished her presentation lost her earring and went back to the preparation room to look for it. Her secretary behind her muttered, "This young master of the Zhou family seems to have quite the temper..."

"If you had that kind of background, you'd need someone to carry your shoes when you went out."

Li Bo, who had been relaxed and chatting with the general manager, suddenly stiffened.

He looked up at the two people chatting: "Young Master Zhou?"

"Hmm." The female director gave Li Bo a look that said, "Good luck."

Seeing Li Bo's stunned expression, the general manager explained, "Zhou Yanshao, the only grandson of Chairman Wanshi, is a Nordic combined athlete."

After the people in the preparation room left, the general manager whispered, "Young Master Zhou left Northern Europe six years ago and only came back once a year. Now that Mr. Wan is building this ski resort, he probably wants to keep his grandson in Beijing... The probability of such a bidding process alarming the chairman is one in ten thousand. This shows how much Mr. Wan values ​​it."

Li Bo's head was buzzing.

A staff member came in and called Li Bo to report on the bid.

Li Bo took a slight breath and looked at the general manager. "I'm sorry, I..."

"What's wrong?" The general manager looked at Li Bo's furrowed brows, smiled and patted Li Bo's shoulder: "It's nothing, this is an unexpected situation. We didn't expect the two of them to come in person. Life and death are preordained, wealth and honor are determined by fate. Just do your job well, I believe in you."

Li Bo could no longer bring himself to say he wanted to leave.

He almost forced himself to enter the meeting room.

The secretary and staff connected the computer to the screen, which displayed the company's planning proposal with a line of smaller text in the lower right corner.

Presenter: Li Jianyue.

Li Bo looked at Zhou Yanshao, who was wearing a baseball cap, looking down, and twirling a pen in his hand. His breath hitched, and his mouth felt as if it were blocked by something, with no gaps, so he couldn't spit it out or swallow it down, and even air could hardly get in.

When Wan Gong saw Li Bo, his brows furrowed.

Li Bo tried to force a smile and began his presentation: "Good morning, judges. I am Li Jianyue, the planner from Dafeng Company."

As soon as Li Bo's voice came out, Zhou Yanshao's pen-twirling motion froze for a moment.

The face under the brim of the hat was raised for the first time during today's presentation.

Zhou Yanshao looked at Li Bo, who was wearing a sharp suit. When he presented the bid, he raised his hands slightly, calm and composed, and spoke with great eloquence. The light from the screen shone on Li Bo, making his body lines very clear, and his hair also had a layer of cold white.

Li Bo was explaining the construction plan for the ski resort to Zhou Yanshao.

This scene feels like a dream.

Li Bo looked thinner and more haggard than in the dream.

Their eyes met for only two seconds before Zhou Yanshao looked away and gazed at the glass door.

Li Bo's smile froze slightly, and his eyes reddened. He knew that Zhou Yanshao hated him, and his presence here was indeed somewhat inappropriate.

A lousy ex should be treated like they're dead.

After the bidding process concluded, Li Bochong nodded and prepared to leave.

Wan Gong asked Zhou Yanshao in a low voice, "Do you like this?"

Wan Gong didn't know why Li Bo was here, or why he had changed his name, but he knew that Li Bo had a special relationship with Zhou Yanshao. As long as Zhou Yanshao could stay in the capital and the two of them could have some contact, it wouldn't be a big deal.

Zhou Yanshao, unsure whether Wan Gong was asking about a person or a project proposal, coldly replied, "I don't like it."
