“A visiting card?” Anna glanced at the elegant card in the housekeeper’s hand and said casually, “Then give it to my father. Why are you giving it to me?”
“Um…Miss, this invitation is for you, and the contents…are a bit strange…” The housekeeper’s tone was somewhat puzzled.
"Strange?" Anna felt a surge of curiosity. She took the invitation from the housekeeper and spoke slowly. However, after just one glance, her expression froze for a moment before a smile quickly spread across her delicate face.
He quickly stood up and anxiously asked the housekeeper:
Where is he?
"Uh..." The housekeeper seemed a little confused by her young mistress's sudden change of heart, but she still spoke truthfully:
"He handed out the invitation at the main entrance and then left, but it seems he was going to buy something. He should be heading to the shopping street next door now."
"Oh! Miss! Miss—"
Before he could finish speaking, he saw Anna running outside with a big smile on her face, ignoring his calls and refusing to turn back.
This made the housekeeper look puzzled. In all this time, this was the first time she had seen her young mistress so anxious, especially because of a post she didn't know anything about.
The housekeeper picked up the invitation again with a curious look, but after looking at it from left to right, she found that apart from a drawing of a gold pen and a blue rose, there seemed to be nothing else on it...
……
Anna, on the other side, ran out anxiously and searched towards the shopping street.
"Mom, this person looks just like the older sister we saw on TV yesterday!"
"Hmm? Don't talk nonsense, but... it does seem quite similar."
"It really is! That person looks just like Anna!"
"The Snow Princess! My favorite star! My idol!!!"
Anna's undisguised appearance quickly attracted the attention of passersby, showcasing her popularity and fame to the fullest.
Anna then realized that she had been in a bit too much of a hurry and hadn't even brought a mask or sunglasses when she came out!
With no other option, she quickened her pace and walked forward, intentionally or unintentionally covering her face with her sleeve to prevent being recognized by more people.
His eyes darted around anxiously, as if he wanted to find the target as soon as possible before being completely recognized.
However, things didn't go as planned. Before she could even make a discovery, two people had already mustered up the courage to approach:
"Excuse me... are you Miss Anna?"
"I……"
"Excuse me, you've mistaken me for someone else."
……
Chapter 453 Business?
"Excuse me, you've mistaken me for someone else."
A voice suddenly came from the side, immediately attracting the attention of Anna and the two young men who came forward to talk to her.
"She's my girlfriend, she just looks a bit like me, you've mistaken her for someone else."
As they spoke, the man naturally put his arm around Anna's shoulder.
Anna frowned immediately, and instinctively wanted to slap the lecherous man next to her.
But just then, a face mask was handed to her, along with a gentle voice:
"It's me, Miss Anna. It's been a long time."
"you……"
Anna paused for a second, then a smile immediately bloomed on her face. The hand she had just raised to slap her fell down, and she took the mask from the other person's hand, put it on, and stood quietly beside them.
"Oh, is that so? Sorry, we mistook you for someone else."
The two young men looked somewhat embarrassed and turned to leave.
Whispers reached their ears.
"I told you it wasn't Anna, right? You insisted it was!"
"But... didn't you notice how much she resembles Anna? Especially her eyes!"
"It's probably just an imitator. Besides, everyone knows that Goddess Anna is single! How could she possibly have a boyfriend?"
"Too……"
The two walked away into the distance while talking, but the young man on the right would occasionally turn back to look in Anna's direction, his face showing even more frustration.
As the two walked away, Anna's gaze fell on the person beside her, her tone filled with undisguised joy:
"Why did you suddenly come here? And what... did you bring a visiting card?"
"I had no choice but to come to dinner with you since you wouldn't come."
Chen Feng smiled and looked down at Anna beside him.
"You want to have dinner with me?"
Anna was slightly taken aback. When had she ever refused a dinner invitation? She seemed to have only refused the blind date arranged by her father in the past few days…
and many more!
Anna seemed to have thought of something, and said uncertainly, "My dad said a young Chinese man came to discuss business today. Could it be you?"
"What? Doesn't it look like it?" Chen Feng admitted without any attempt to hide it.
"This……"
Anna's mind went blank for a moment. Her understanding of Chen Feng was still that of an all-powerful phantom thief, but now he was suddenly coming to talk business with her father, an Eastern European arms dealer.
This... feels a bit like... a toad wearing a turtle shell and then coming to a temple to ask Buddha, "Do I look like a human or a god?"
Chen Feng didn't offer any explanation, but simply gave her a mysterious smile and then said nothing more, leading her to a stretched Lincoln.
The car door opened, revealing a luxurious interior. Warm, soft lighting illuminated the leather seats, wool carpets covered the entire cabin, and starlight from the starry sky lights filled the view, accompanied by the subtle aroma of fine champagne.
There was only one person sitting inside, a burly man with an imposing face. His bulging muscles stretched his bespoke suit high, making him look like a brown bear sitting upright.
However, his wide grin and almost crooked face made it easy to tell that he was in a very good mood.
Anna only needed one glance to recognize the man who was all too familiar: one of the biggest arms dealers in Eastern Europe, and also her father—Ivan!
After their eyes met, Chen Feng spoke first: "Well then, Mr. Ivan, if there are no other questions, I wish us a pleasant cooperation."
"Of course! My dear lad!"
Ivan extended his thick arm and shook hands with Chen Feng.
This made Anna even more curious.
If it were just a small business deal, his father wouldn't have personally intervened. But if it were a big deal... what kind of big deal could an arms dealer possibly have? Selling arms? But... why would Chen Feng suddenly want to buy arms?
Anna's mind was filled with questions.
Just as Anna was lost in thought, Chen Feng and Ivan's conversation was almost over.
"Alright, I'll be going now. Don't forget, it's my birthday party tonight, you have to come!"
Ivan's smile remained bright; Anna rarely saw her father smile so freely.
"I'm sure I'll be bothering you."
Chen Feng smiled and politely agreed.
Ivan nodded, then his gaze fell on Anna. "Anna, get in the car and come back with your father. I have something I want to ask you."
"Ok?"
Anna was taken aback and subconsciously glanced at Chen Feng beside her, her reluctance almost written all over her face.
"Go back with your uncle first, I'll come over tonight," Chen Feng said softly.
Anna nodded and said, "Okay."
This scene made Ivan's smile freeze for a moment. He didn't know why, even though he was quite happy just now, he suddenly felt inexplicably like to beat this kid up.
boom--
The car doors closed, and the vehicle slowly drove away under the driver's control. Anna clung to the window, watching the figure behind her gradually shrink until it disappeared completely around a corner.
"Alright, stop looking. It's not like we'll never see each other again."
A sour voice came from the side.
Anna reluctantly turned back, but when her gaze fell on Ivan, she couldn't help but ask curiously:
"Dad, what business did you discuss with him? You seem quite satisfied with this collaboration."
Upon hearing Anna's question, Ivan's previously sour expression quickly turned into a smile, and he uttered a few words with a mysterious look:
“Precious metals, jewelry, and various precious handicrafts.”
As he spoke, Ivan let out a heavy sigh: "I've been considering business transformation for the past few years. To this end, I spent a lot of money to acquire shares in several large companies in Western Europe, but the channels for transformation have been difficult to open up."
"This is great! What your boyfriend brought will allow our company to transform into the jewelry business within a year."
"Dad! Don't talk nonsense! What little boyfriend..."
Anna blushed slightly, and her voice unconsciously lowered.
Ivan didn't seem to care, and simply said, "But what I'm curious about is that I had people investigate the business situation in various regions, but I couldn't find the specific source of these things. It's as if they appeared out of thin air... Hmm? What are you looking at?"
Ivan turned his head in confusion and saw Anna staring intently at the recently signed contract on the table, her clean forehead gradually furrowing.
"Dad, is this price wrong? Such a large quantity, all about 10% lower than the market price? You're ripping me off!"
"I--"
Ivan paused, thinking to himself that his little darling was leaking air way too quickly.

Ivan forcibly suppressed the chaotic thoughts in his mind and explained helplessly:
