"If you ever head to Kyoto, make sure to drop by Heaven and Earth Bank and have a word with the bank president. It would be beneficial for you."
Jiang Chen harbored high expectations for the youngest in their dorm, offering this advice over dinner.
"I have a business trip to Kyoto next month. I will certainly pay President Zhuge a visit then."
Tianci Capital and Heaven and Earth Bank maintained a strategic partnership. As the CFO, Bai Zheli undoubtedly had some professional interactions with Zhuge Xi, though they had yet to meet face-to-face.
Developing, integrating, organizing, coordinating...
An entirely new business empire was quietly taking shape, unnoticed by the wider world.
"I heard the bank president of Heaven and Earth Bank comes from a mysterious background. Is he truly a descendant of Zhuge Liang?" Xu Siyi interjected, her chopsticks pausing near her lips.
"You're aware of this?"
Jiang Chen expressed his surprise.
Xu Siyi rolled her eyes slightly. "I've been active in the financial circle, after all."
Jiang Chen offered a smile.
He had almost forgotten.
The individual she encountered was indeed involved within the financial system.
"Junior Xu, I heard you've amassed quite a fortune in the financial markets? You were certainly squandering your talents by studying the arts back then."
Luo Peng remarked.
"Mr. Luo, please stop teasing me. I am merely a small player. I only manage to pick up the scraps dropped by big shots like yourselves."
"Your words sound rather insincere. We have never considered you an outsider."
"My apologies."
Xu Siyi promptly altered her address. "Senior Luo, please pardon this humble girl's presumption."
"You are hardly a little girl."
Luo Peng teased. "You were renowned for your beauty back in school, with admirers flocking from every department."
Xu Siyi playfully rolled her eyes. "There you go, making fun of me again."
"Are you currently seeing anyone?"
Luo Peng inquired.
"You are a married man," Jiang Chen interjected.
"What are you implying? As seniors, it is only natural to show concern for our juniors."
"No. I am single."
"Seriously?"
Luo Peng was likely unaware of Xu Siyi’s past. Furthermore, Li Shuru would certainly not share gossip regarding Xu Siyi's personal life.
"What is so strange about that?"
Xu Siyi sighed, lamenting, "Although I was quite popular among the male students in school, things are quite different in society. There are simply too many stunning women everywhere. Why would any outstanding man take notice of me?"
"Are you jesting with me?"
Luo Peng burst into laughter. Even from his current perspective, Xu Siyi still possessed considerable beauty, exuding a natural allure. She was adept at navigating social situations, sharp-witted, and eloquently spoken, much like an... innately charming woman.
Of course, such an assessment was strictly for his own thoughts and not to be voiced aloud.
"Perhaps your standards are excessively high?"
"A residence in East Sea, an annual salary of one million yuan, and under thirty years of age—these requirements aren't exactly exorbitant, are they?"
"It is no wonder you remain single."
Their lighthearted exchange amused everyone present.
"If the two of you are putting on a performance, should you not wait until after dinner?" Jiang Chen intervened.
"Dinner accompanied by a comedy show, where else could one find such entertainment, wouldn't you agree, Junior Xu?"
Xu Siyi readily nodded her agreement.
To be perfectly honest, Luo Peng and Xu Siyi did exhibit remarkably similar styles. Both were masters at injecting life into the atmosphere. Their witty repartee and back-and-forth banter concluded the meal on a joyous note.
Following the meal, Xu Siyi took the initiative to assist with the cleanup.
"Has she truly turned over a new leaf?"
Luo Peng muttered.
"Why is Brother Luo showing such concern for Xu Siyi?"
Luo Peng rubbed his chin. "Xu Siyi is quite remarkable, and we are all quite familiar with each other. What do you all think about introducing her to Brother Shao?"
Jiang Chen was rendered momentarily speechless, observing the suddenly contemplative and seemingly serious demeanor of Luo Peng.
This was quite an audacious proposition.
"Introduce her to Brother Li Shao?"
Bai Zheli appeared taken aback.
"Indeed."
Luo Peng responded with a calm tone. "Brother Shao's parents are still insistent on farming simply because they have nothing else occupying their time. Individuals from their generation struggle to find relaxation. If Brother Shao were to marry and have a child, making them grandparents, they would surely cease their desire to farm."
Bai Zheli offered an approving thumbs-up.
"Is she genuinely single?"
Luo Peng cast a glance towards Jiang Chen.
"Engaging in matchmaking,"
Jiang Chen summarized the situation in a single, concise phrase.
"Let us make an attempt. Whether it proves successful is another matter entirely. I believe their personalities would complement each other well. Brother Shao is rather reserved; he requires someone more outgoing and vivacious."
Jiang Chen, no longer wishing to entertain further discussion, issued a directive to depart. "It is growing late; let us head back."
"Can we not linger a bit longer? Are you truly treating us as unwelcome guests?"
Bai Zheli adopted a more diplomatic approach.
"Brother Luo, you remain. I shall be departing."
"You..."
Luo Peng let out a sigh of helplessness. "Remember to convey the message."
That night.
The curtains danced subtly in the gentle breeze, which wafted in, clearing the lingering warmth. Jiang Chen remained with his eyes fixed on the ceiling, his hand softly caressing the silken strands of his girlfriend's hair. "Let's keep Si Yi's personal issues quiet from Luo Peng and the others." Li Shuru nestled in his arms, turned on her side, her fair, smooth arm resting against his chest, her breath warm against his skin. "Those are her private affairs. Why would I possibly bring them up?" Jiang Chen continued to absentmindedly stroke her hair, a soft chuckle escaping him. "Do you have any idea what wild notion Luo Peng just conjured up?" "Hmm?" Li Shuru responded with a languid hum, too weary to muster the effort for a full sentence. It was well past ten o'clock. And the couple had retired for the night at nine. An hour's worth of exertion that tested not only a man's stamina but also a woman's. "He's planning to introduce Xu Siyi to Brother Shao." "He is?" Li Shuru's surprise momentarily pierced her exhaustion. "He's always been one to hatch plans on a whim. I was concerned he might blurt out something foolish in front of Xu Siyi, so I sent him away."
