We moved to Golden Courtyard

"Please come this way with me."

Xu Qi raised an eyebrow in confusion, but still followed.

After walking all the way to an elevator room that no one was using, the lobby manager smiled and said, "Miss Anna has already told me that if you see Mr. Xu Qi, she will take you directly to see him."

I see……

Xu Qi shook his head with a smile.

As expected of Eden's secretary, he considered everything very thoroughly.

A short while later, the elevator doors opened, and the waiter inside bowed respectfully, inviting Xu Qi to enter.

Aren't you coming with me?

“Miss Anna will take care of you, sir.”

Xu Qi suddenly realized. Right at the end of that sentence, the beautiful woman, who had maintained an extremely elegant demeanor throughout, subtly slipped a card into Xu Qi's pocket.

Xu Qi didn't say anything.

The elevator went up to the 66th floor, where Anna was already waiting.

"I apologize if there is anything I have done poorly in my visit so late at night, Mr. Xu Qi."

Perhaps because this time it was on home turf, the chestnut-haired beauty seemed more composed than in previous encounters.

It also looks more vibrant.

Xu Qi smiled and took out a card from his pocket. It was the business card of the lobby manager downstairs, with an address and room number written on it.

"That's already very thoughtful. Look, there's even a beauty delivered to our door."

Anna chuckled, took the card, and then tossed it away.

"Actually, I think she's pretty good. Don't misunderstand anything."

"No, Mr. Xu Qi, this is also a survival option, but I gave her too many hints. The main reason why Manager Zhang has been able to get to her current position is because of her ability."

Xu Qi understands this.

"Mr. Xu Qi is here so late, he must be looking for Miss Eden... She's still in a meeting."

“I know, I’m here to take her home.”

Xu Qi casually glanced around—it truly lived up to its name as the Golden Group. Every decoration along the way exuded a sense of opulence.

"Oh right, could you give me a place to rest? I'd like to rest while waiting for my sister to finish her meeting."

527 is Miss Eden's private swimming pool.

"This is my office. Mr. Xu Qi, please rest here for a while."

Anna met Xu Qi and led her to her office.

Well... they are definitely companies with different concepts than ETStudio.

Miss Anna's office alone is impressive enough.

At first glance, the elegant arrangement didn't seem particularly remarkable, but Xu Qi did have a discerning eye; just look at the pair of Pixiu on Miss Anna's desk...

The market capitalization should be around seven figures, or even a large seven figures.

Eden had introduced these items to Xu Qi before, and when she asked Xu Qi if he liked them, Xu Qi said he didn't feel anything for them, so she bought them and gave them to someone else.

It turns out that this "other person" was Anna.

Anna didn't sit in her office chair, but stood next to Xu Qi after he sat down on the sofa.

"Oh? Anna, you're sitting here too?"

"Ok."

Then, she straightened her skirt and sat down.

Just like Rita—Xu Qi thought with a chuckle.

Today she was dressed in a fairly standard office outfit, a shirt and pencil skirt like Rita, but Miss Anna preferred a darker blue.

Therefore, the bow tie on the chest and the color of the pencil skirt are both a dark blue that is very close to black.

Xu Qi glanced at it...

Yes, Miss Anna's heart is equally magnificent.

Moreover, just like the full moon on the sixteenth day of the lunar month, it maintains a perfect roundness.

"Aren't you going to the meeting with Sister Eden?"

"It's the company's routine shareholders' meeting. But it's just a formality; in reality, Miss Eden listens to the quarterly work reports from each shareholder."

As for me… I'm the second-largest shareholder in Miss Eden's company, and also Miss Eden's secretary. It would seem rather odd if I attended this meeting.”

This structure is completely different from ETStudio's...

But Xu Qi also knew that.

Within the Gold Group, Eden is the absolute ruler of the crowdfunding group ④五⑥①②柒⑨40, though I'd only heard about him before; witnessing him in person is a different story altogether.

"How could it have taken so long to open..."

"Actually, it hasn't been that long. It's common for the shareholders' meetings of the Gold Group to last for two or three days. The Gold Group has many important shareholders, and they are located all over the world."

The shareholders' meeting is one of the few times they can all gather together, and a rare opportunity to meet Miss Eden. Therefore, it's understandable that their work reports take a while.

That workload...

Xu Qi was already feeling a bit terrified just listening to it.

"But please rest assured, although it is said that it may take two or three days, it will basically end at 9 or 10 o'clock every day. Besides, today is the third day of the shareholders' meeting."

So please, Mr. Xu Qi, don't worry.

"It's okay, I'm not in a hurry. Oh, right... Anna, I hope you won't tell Eden that I'm here."

Anna understood Xu Qi's intention in an instant.

With a smile on her lips, Anna nodded and said, "Understood, Mr. Xu Qi. If you're feeling bored, I have some little gadgets for entertainment here."

Xu Qi chuckled, "For example?"

"like me."

"what?"

"I mean, sports like billiards or table tennis, I have them here."

Xu Qi looked at Anna with a slightly complicated expression.

He knew that Sister Eden intended to match him up with Anna, but he didn't expect Miss Anna to accept it so quickly.

Seeing this, Anna couldn't help but tease, "Or I could pick up the card I just threw away, and you could go to that hotel room and play with the lobby manager for a while."

I guarantee that Mr. Xu Qi will not bear any responsibility afterward.

Xu Qi said with a wry smile, "Miss Anna, I still have some... difficulty accepting this kind of joke."

Anna brushed her hair back and looked at Xu Qi with a strange look in her eyes—perhaps because she couldn't accept this value system that treated people like objects.

Mr. Xu Qi is really quite adorable.

Anna had seen far too many of those so-called truly wealthy young men.

They all have one thing in common: in their eyes, everyone is a string of commodities with marked value.

This includes their siblings, lovers, and even parents.

Xu Qi, like most ordinary people, sees people simply as people, beyond the measure of value. Such a commonplace thing.

However, given Xu Qi's current strength, status, and position, it is truly commendable that he has been able to maintain this level.

Perhaps this is why Eden always liked her younger brother.

Such a sincere youthful spirit, if it could be maintained until the age of thirty, forty, or even... remaining unchanged.

What a romantic person he must be!

It seems that Sister Eden truly believes this.

She believes that Xu Qi is such a romantic being.

"Or how about this, there's a swimming pool downstairs, which is for Miss Eden and me. If Mr. Xu Qi would like, you can play in it for a while first."

Swimming pool?

Xu Qi glanced at Anna beside him, his gaze unconsciously sweeping over the other woman's figure...

He could clearly feel his heart beating rapidly!

"This...isn't this inappropriate...I actually..."

"Mainly, I want to go swimming. I really like water. What about you, Mr. Xu Qi?"

"Then... I shall respectfully comply."

Anna covered her mouth and chuckled. She suddenly understood another reason why Eden liked Xu Qi.

That's so funny, he really is like a younger brother.

······

Downstairs at the swimming pool, Xu Qi quickly changed into her swimsuit.

After all, all he needs to do is take off his clothes and put on a pair of swim trunks.

His well-built upper body was on full display, with every muscle perfectly proportioned, creating a flawless physique and exuding explosive power.

Men can appreciate women, and women can appreciate men.

At least every time Bronya does it, Xu Qi has to have his upper body exposed.

It's pleasing to the eye.

Just as Xu Qi put his hands on his hips, a short while later, he saw Anna walk out of the dressing room.

Xu Qi originally thought that the other party would wear a one-piece swimsuit, which would be more conservative.

When the white bikini appeared before his eyes, Xu Qi was completely stunned.

"Mr. Xu Qi? Mr. Xu Qi?"

Anna moved closer and stood gracefully, her gaze easily taking in the soft, round, and full flesh.

As the gaze moves further down, the fair abdomen and fleshy thighs relentlessly assault Xu Qi's senses.

Coupled with her weak and submissive expression, she seemed like a lamb to the slaughter, waiting for Xu Qi's favor...

I miscalculated; this girl definitely did it on purpose!

Anna's slender fingers touched Xu Qi's hard, iron-like abdomen, and her eyes lit up with admiration.

"I never expected Mr. Xu Qi to have such an outstanding physique."

"Uh... I'll go swimming for a bit first!"

Having said that, he plunged into the water like a sharp sword, desperately needing the cool water of the pool to cool him down!

Anna smiled as she crouched by the pool, her chin resting on her hand, her long chestnut hair cascading down her back, a breathtaking sight.

Actually... she's not a very good swimmer.

528. Eden, that person, has a sharp tongue but a soft heart.

"Miss Anna, aren't you coming along?"

"OK?"

After Anna finished speaking, she put her legs together and slid into the water.

Xu Qi asked with some surprise, "Miss Anna... are you not very good at swimming?"

"That's true, but there's no rule that says you can't like something, right?"

Xu Qi was both amused and exasperated.
