Shangjing, the capital's business district.

Zeng Ziming was already waiting at the agreed location.

She wore a simple outfit today, exuding an elegant and refined air. Standing on the bustling street corner, she was a sight to behold, like a fairy untouched by the mortal world.

Qin Zihao saw her from afar and unconsciously paused in his tracks.

Zeng Ziming noticed the fixed gaze, turned her head slightly, smiled at Qin Zihao, and asked softly, "Do I look good in this outfit?"

Qin Zihao met her gaze, nodded without hesitation, and said directly, "It looks very good."

Upon receiving a positive reply, Zeng Ziming was overjoyed, and the smile between his brows deepened.

She spent a long time choosing this outfit before going out, just in case Qin Zihao thought it wouldn't look good.

After getting into the car, Zeng Ziming turned to Qin Zihao and said gratefully, "Thank you so much for yesterday. My dad's company's crisis has been resolved."

Qin Zihao said calmly, "It's nothing, don't worry about it."

He spoke of it casually, as if it were nothing more than a small favor.

that's the truth.

Zeng Ziming breathed a long sigh of relief.

Qin Zihao's answer completely confirmed to her that the president of the Tenglong Chamber of Commerce was willing to step in to help, and it was definitely not because Liu Shao had asked him to.

But the thought of how everyone in his family had misunderstood Qin Zihao gave Zeng Zimo a sudden headache.

Qin Zihao keenly noticed the change in her mood and asked with concern, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

Zeng Ziming quickly composed himself, shook his head, and said, "No."

She smoothly changed the subject, smiling as she introduced Qin Zihao to the landmark shopping districts of Beijing:

"The consumption threshold here is extremely high; it is the top consumption gathering place in Beijing."

"Although the capital city does not have the luxurious buildings of the imperial palaces in Jiangnan, it has its own unique style of prosperity and grandeur.

She smiled at Qin Zihao, "I'll show you around today."

Qin Zihao nodded with a smile and said, "Then I'll be a tourist today."

The two chatted and toured the area, enjoying their rare time alone.

Zeng Ziming led Qin Zihao past one top-tier store after another, pointing out to him the old buildings in Beijing that had stood the test of time for countless years, his tone carrying a rare touch of playfulness.

Qin Zihao listened quietly, occasionally chiming in with a comment, creating a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere.

Sunlight streamed down from above, casting long shadows of the two people.

Zeng Ziming had secretly glanced at Qin Zihao more than once, and seeing his gentle expression throughout the trip, she felt a little more relaxed.

During the journey, Zeng Ziming's phone kept popping up with messages.

It was sent by Zeng Yi.

[Sis, where are you? Why didn't you take me with you when you went out?]

[Young Master Liu is having a party, would you do me the honor of attending?]

...

Messages kept coming in, but Zeng Ziming glanced at them without intending to reply.

At this moment, she only wanted to spend time with Qin Zihao in peace and did not want to be disturbed by anyone else.

To avoid being bombarded with messages from her brother, she even secretly put her phone on silent.

On the other side, Zeng Yi stared at his phone, and when he didn't get a reply from Zeng Ziming, he stomped his feet in frustration.

He had promised Liu Xing that if Liu Xing helped his father resolve the company's crisis, he would help Liu Xing pursue Zeng Ziming.

Last night, he patted his chest and assured Liu Xing that he would take care of it.

I only discovered this morning that my sister had gone out alone without telling me at all.

Liu Xing also learned this morning that Zeng Wentao's matter had been resolved.

He thought it was his father Liu Qing's influence that made the decision, so he originally planned to invite Zeng Ziming out.

This should have been a good opportunity for Zeng Yi to make connections, but he couldn't even get in touch with his sister's people.

The phone went unanswered, leaving Zeng Yi both anxious and frustrated, but she could only stare helplessly.

Finally, unable to contact Zeng Ziming, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and make up an excuse to apologize to Liu Xing.

【Um, Mr. Liu, I'm really sorry, but my sister isn't feeling well today. How about another time?】

...

Over here, Qin Zihao and Zeng Ziming were enjoying a meal when his cell phone suddenly rang.

He glanced at the screen.

It was Nie Yuanqing calling.

On the other end of the phone, Nie Yuanqing said respectfully, "Young Master Qin, the Tenglong Chamber of Commerce is preparing to host a cocktail party and would like to invite you to attend. Would that be convenient for you?"

Qin Zihao did not immediately agree, as attending that party might cause Zeng Ziming a lot of trouble.

He wanted to spend a few more days with Zeng Ziming in private before arranging his work matters when he returned to Jiangnan.

Nie Yuanqing replied truthfully, "Many high-ranking members of the Chamber of Commerce are aware of the dispute between the Qin and Xie families. Many are pessimistic about the Qin family and have already chosen to leave the Chamber. I plan to use this banquet to stabilize the remaining affiliated companies."

"If we do not appease them, it could easily trigger a chain of unrest, which would have a significant impact on the Tenglong Chamber of Commerce in the short term."

He spoke earnestly, "If Young Master Qin can attend, it will reassure the other members of the Chamber of Commerce."

Qin Zihao hesitated for a moment, then agreed, "When is the reception scheduled?"

"The night after tomorrow." Nie Yuanqing quickly replied.

"Okay, I understand." Qin Zihao said and then hung up the phone.

On the other end, Nie Yuanqing breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Qin Zihao was willing to attend.

-

Soon the sun set in the west, and it grew dark.

Qin Zihao escorted Zeng Zimo to her apartment building.

Zeng Ziming stood beside the car, turned to look at Qin Zihao inside, and softly thanked him, "Thank you, I had a lot of fun today."

She wasn't just being polite.

Being with Qin Zihao, even just taking a casual stroll, made her feel at ease.

Qin Zihao looked at her and asked, "Are you free tomorrow? Show me around Beijing again."

Zeng Ziming's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately nodded repeatedly, readily replying, "Yes!"

Of course she's free.

She longed to be as close to Qin Zihao as possible, much closer.

Seeing this, Qin Zihao smiled and replied, "Okay, I'll come pick you up again tomorrow."

Zeng Ziming nodded vigorously, waved goodbye, and watched the Lamborghini, worth tens of millions, slowly drive away.

Watching the car drive away, Zeng Ziming stood there, his heart filled with joy.

For a moment, she even greedily hoped that tomorrow would come sooner.

Inside a private club.

Yang Qicai had just woken up from the beauty's embrace, and was woken up by his subordinates.

He leaned back on the sofa and rubbed his sleepy eyes.

"Young Master Yang, Nie Yuanqing is organizing a banquet for the Tenglong Chamber of Commerce and has already sent out a large number of invitations."

"The only thing... I didn't give it to you."

Yang Qi's expression turned cold upon hearing this.

Didn't they give him an invitation?

This clearly shows that Nie Yuanqing doesn't take Yang Qi or his Yang family seriously.

The subordinate cautiously added, "Nie Yuanqing has climbed up the social ladder; now that he's powerful, he probably doesn't respect you anymore."

"A higher branch?" Yang Qi snorted coldly, his eyes growing even colder.

He stood up and said coldly, "This party must be Nie Yuanqing's way of welcoming his new patron."

"Since he doesn't want me to go, I'll just do as he pleases."

"I want to see who's behind Nie Yuanqing, daring to look down on me like this!"
