Shi Yan was just asking casually, but Mo Cheng was stunned. Introduce a girlfriend? Wasn’t she there?

  Shi Yan didn’t care about Mo Cheng’s reaction. Instead, he directly mentioned the main purpose of the dinner. “I’m just joking. Tell me your thoughts on the future development of the company.”


  “Ah?” Mo Cheng was stunned. Although she had thought about it, she didn’t think deeply about it. Talking about development was just an excuse that Xiao Jiu came up with for her at the last minute. It was difficult for her to improvise now.

  She ate a mouthful of rice. Perhaps because she was nervous, she did not know where to start for a moment.

  Shi Yan picked up the orange juice and took a sip. After waiting for a while, he saw that Mo Cheng had not spoken yet. He looked up at her and said, “Have you not thought about it yet?”


  Mo Cheng’s eyes shifted and she replied, “I want to hear your opinion first.”


  “My opinion?” Shi Yan thought for a moment, then he said very seriously, “Although your company has only been developing for less than two months, and it’s a luxury brand, you can’t just sell goods online. You need to have a shop in a prime location and do physical sales. You can make some short video ads to increase your popularity and attract more customers. “Rich people are willing to spend money for their children. They can open chain stores in various cities. These are all in the later stages. Once you have popularity, many people will be willing to join a chain store. You can save money by renting a store. “If you want to sell, you need to create another brand under AC. At the same time, you need to expand the factory too and recruit some skilled workers and designers. These details need to be sorted out into a plan.”


  What Shi Yan said was very detailed, and Mo Cheng listened very seriously too. The problem they were facing now was that the stores in prime locations not only needed money but had to have a facade too. A good facade had long been bought by rich people, when would it be her turn?

  Shi Yan saw that Mo Cheng was in a difficult position and asked, “What’s the problem?”


  Mo Cheng said with some difficulty, “A facade in a prime location is too difficult.”


  Shi Yan said, “You don’t have to worry about a facade in a prime location. During the New Year last year, Xiao Jiu’s three uncles did not give him any new year money. They gave a facade in a prime location. It hasn’t been renovated yet. It can be used as an investment.”


  Mo Cheng realized that Xiao Jiu’s words were not exaggerated at all. His uncles were all people with power and influence. It was a prime location. Without power, it would be very difficult to get it.

  “I’m too lucky to have met Xiao Jiu. Xiao Jiu is my financier. He has money, looks, and power. I want to cling to his golden legs.”


  Shi Yan did not comment. Mo Cheng had indeed met a noble person when he met Xiao Jiu. Otherwise, with Mo Cheng’s brain and money, it would be difficult for her to do it even if she spent her entire life.

  After the meal, Shi Yan had paid the bill.

  After he got into the car, Mo Cheng said, “Didn’t I say that I would treat you? Why did you pay the bill first?”


  Shi Yan said while driving, “When you go out for a meal, how can you let a woman treat you?”


  “I used up your time and you still have to spend money to treat me, how embarrassing would that be? I have to treat you next time.” She was smart to fight for the next opportunity to have a meal together.

  Shi Yan said, “When your business is big enough, you can treat me to a good meal again.”


  Mo cheng whispered, “How long will you have to wait? I can’t wait anymore.”


  Shi Yan was puzzled. “Huh?” He asked.

  Mo Cheng turned her head to look at Shi Yan. “Mr Shi, do you have any hobbies?”


  “Hobbies? Exercise, read, often drink with my brothers, and travel during the holidays.”


  Thinking about it, he didn’t have many hobbies. During his free time, other than drinking and chatting with the Ye brothers, he would probably read books and spend two hours every day exercising.

  Mo Cheng asked again, “Then do you usually cook and eat at home?”


  Shi Yan said, “I don’t know how to cook, so I often eat outside.”


  “I know how to cook. If there’s a chance, I’ll show you something. Just assume it’s a reward for teaching me a lot of things. How about it?”


  Mo Cheng looked at Shi Yan with anticipation.

  Shi Yan turned his head to look at Mo Cheng. Ever since he was born, this was probably the first time he had met a woman who offered to cook for him. After thinking about it for a moment, he readily agreed, “Sure.”


  Mo Cheng was delighted, but she couldn’t help but ask, “Then when is convenient for you? I’ll go to your house after I buy the ingredients.”


  Shi Yan only replied politely just now, but he didn’t expect Mo Cheng to be so serious. He was thinking since he agreed to it, so he didn’t bother with the free time he had recently. He said, “This weekend, I’ll go buy the ingredients.”


  “You don’t know how to cook and buy ingredients, so you might not be as good as me.” Mo Cheng thought that the two of them needed a lot of time to spend together, so she changed her mind. “Why don’t we buy the ingredients together?”


  As someone who didn’t cook, he was not good at buying ingredients.

  So he agreed. “Okay.”


  When Shi Yan sent Mo Cheng to the rental apartment, Mo Cheng thanked him and unbuckled her seatbelt before getting out of the car.

  Shi Yan turned his head and looked at the place where she rented the apartment. Not only was it remote, but the environment didn’t seem to be very good either. There were no street lights in this area, and there were no properties either. It wasn’t safe enough for a woman.

  He pushed open the car door and got out. He called out to her, “Mo Cheng.”


  Mo Cheng hurriedly turned around when she heard him. Seeing that Shi Yan had also gotten out of the car, she asked in puzzlement, “Mr Shi, what’s the matter?”


  Shi Yan said, “I suggest you rent a new house. This place is very far from where you work, and it’s not safe enough.”


  “It’s indeed a little far. The rent is very cheap, it’s safe……” Actually, Mo Cheng felt that it was unsafe. Last time, she had met a drunkard who dragged her into a dark alley. Fortunately, someone had passed by and helped her, otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.

  “I’ll rent a new house. Thank you for your reminder, Mr Shi.”


  Shi Yan nodded. “Okay, let’s go in.”


  “Okay, see you then, Mr Shi.” Mo Cheng smiled at him. Then, she tightened her bag and turned around to walk into the dilapidated residential area.

  Shi Yan stood in place and watched Mo Cheng’s figure walk into the darkness. He didn’t turn around and get into the car until she was out of sight.

  Ever since Shi Yan had agreed, Mo Cheng had been looking forward to the weekend. She was smiling every day, and when she was designing her clothes, it was especially smooth.

  It wasn’t easy for her to wait until this day.

  Mo Cheng woke up early in the morning and even specially dressed herself up before leaving the house.

  Shi Yan was waiting downstairs in his car. When he saw that someone had arrived, he got out of the car and opened the door to wait for her. He saw Mo Cheng walking over step by step. She was only twenty-two years old, just like a flower. In addition, Mo Cheng’s personality was lively, she gave people the feeling that she was full of vitality.

  On the other hand, he was twenty-nine years old, just like an older man.

  Mo Cheng saw Shi Yan waiting for her from afar, so she quickened his pace and walked over. She said somewhat embarrassedly, “You’ve been waiting for a long time, right?”


  The corners of Shi Yan’s mouth curled into a faint smile. “No, get in the car first.”


  “Okay.”


  Mo Cheng and Shi Yan got in the car one after another.

  Mo Cheng asked Shi Yan to drive to the vegetable market.
