"Being tall really is amazing."
Sheng Chenjin felt his mood lighten as he watched Shi Xinxin's frustrated expression.
This move was always effective.
"I'm leaving," Shi Xinxin said, unable to win against him every time, and turned to leave, appearing to be fleeing.
Sheng Chenjin followed her out, his eyes full of amusement.
He thought of the warm softness that had brushed against his face earlier.
He raised his hand and gently touched the spot where he and Shi Xinxin had made contact, a smile unconsciously spreading across his lips.
Sensing no one behind her, Shi Xinxin quickly entered the elevator and pressed the close button.
A hand suddenly reached in, blocking the closing door.
Shi Xinxin quickly prepared to press the open button.
Before she could press it, the elevator doors opened, revealing that handsome yet irritating face.
Shi Xinxin turned her head away, silently withdrawing her hand from the button.
"You left so quickly, you didn't even wait for me."
Sheng Chenjin saw Shi Xinxin's swiftly retracted hand and his mood couldn't have been better.
Shi Xinxin stepped back a couple of paces, trying to maintain distance from this man who so easily caused gossip.
"Mr. Sheng is so tall with such long legs, you couldn't possibly not keep up with a shorty like me?"
Shi Xinxin didn't look at Sheng Chenjin, pouting.
She still held her arms in the same awkward manner. Sheng Chenjin just watched her, his mood not at all dampened.
Employees working diligently looked up and saw the intimate scene between President Sheng and President Shi.
"Look, look! This is so cute."
The female employees squealed like excited marmots at the sight.
"Who here can draw? Quick, someone, sketch it for me!"
"Ahhh, taking photos is not allowed in the company!"
"I'm so annoyed."
Everyone was in a flurry. The girls who could draw were sketching outlines while staring intently.
"Ahhh, no need to look anymore, look what I've discovered!"
A girl who had been scrolling through Weibo suddenly seemed to have found something major, her excited voice drawing out the last syllable.
The phone she held up showed Sheng Chenjin and Shi Xinxin.
Judging by the background, they had just finished eating at a restaurant.
The person who posted the photo was a good friend of this girl.
"Send it to me! Quick!"
The girl was immediately surrounded, pressured to hand over the photo.
Every floor that Sheng Chenjin and Shi Xinxin passed became noisy.
"Your employees are excessively gossipy."
Shi Xinxin said with a cold expression.
"You need to clarify this quickly."
Shi Xinxin threatened.
"Don't think that having a child will be your bargaining chip; you won't get a permanent position."
Shi Xinxin had to have a stance! She couldn't let this man exploit her.
"Don't mind them, they might be loud, but they know how to keep secrets."
"Let's quickly handle this before the information we have is discovered by others. There's no time to waste."
Sheng Chenjin was practically dragging Shi Xinxin to the Swiss bank.
They paid no mind to the gazes of others as they hurried out of the company. Sheng Chenjin didn't drive; he got into the passenger seat of Shi Xinxin's car.
They didn't hear the commotion behind them at the company.
As they focused on heading to the bank, the two of them were unaware that their scandal was also brewing online, far beyond the company.
Other employees of Shengshi Group opened Weibo and found the top trending topic: #Such a couple, I'm envious#. Upon clicking, they saw their own boss.
It turned out that the girl who took the photo felt it would be a shame not to share such a heavenly couple's envy-inducing moments. So, with an excited heart, she made a "mistake" and posted it on Weibo.
Coincidentally, among the few scattered Weibo friends of that girl were employees of the male protagonist's company.
Given the sheer number of employees at Shengshi Group, the rare appearance of their president in a scandal, especially with the rumored female lead, was definitely worth gossiping about.
With the spread from some of the company's personnel.
Netizens gradually discovered this heavenly couple.
Word spread like wildfire, and it quickly climbed to the top of the trending list, dominating the number one spot with terrifying speed.
The number of people discussing them on Weibo was countless.
Just Want to Eat: I think I've been discovered, but they really look good together! [Biting hand.jpg]

These were taken at the restaurant. The two were quite formal. The first picture showed their hands clasped on the table, a bit awkward; the second was when they noticed they were being photographed, both looking at the camera in unison, very much in sync. The angle was tricky, yet they still looked great.
[In three seconds, I need all their information.]
[Where is this? I want to run into them!]
[So it's only me who acted like a country bumpkin at the restaurant...]
This wasn't all; there was also a video.
Only Want to Eat: They are really loving and friendly. This video has their permission!
[Video]
In the video, the girl took a sip of her drink, looked at the shop, then at the boy, her expression lively as she questioned him. When she got emotional, she nudged him with her shoulder. They both froze, said something unknown to each other, and then turned their heads in unison towards the camera, forcing awkward smiles. At this point, the video shook and cut off.
[So funny, but still so good-looking! They are so in sync! How does this man's gaze manage to appear so serious yet hide a hint of amusement... It's too sweet!]
[No, no, no, they will be the protagonists of my dreams tonight!]
[One person pleads with their life for them to appear on TV!]
[One person is not enough, thousands!]
...
Meanwhile, at the same Swiss bank, a man wearing a hat sat elegantly in the waiting area, watching the trending video on his phone.
The moment he saw their faces, his eyes flashed with admiration.
He was the top agent and scout for Mars Mountain, the best entertainment company currently.
His eye for talent was sharp, and he had discovered generation after generation of film emperors and empresses.
He was also the young master of the prominent Xiao family in Yuncheng, Xiao Jue.
Watching the two on the video, he was genuinely troubled. With such looks and figures, it was clear they were blessed by the heavens and were destined for fame.
However, one was Sheng Chenjin, the second young master of the Sheng family in Yuncheng, and the other was Shi Xinxin, the eldest daughter of the Shi family, whose influence was deeply rooted in country M.
They lacked neither money nor fame. Inviting them would be like trying to herd ducks into water—an impossible task.
But he still wanted to try. If he could get them on a variety show, the impact would be immense!
He continued to watch the video, the volume not too loud.
Shi Xinxin and Sheng Chenjin, having just finished their business, walked past.
Shi Xinxin inexplicably found her gaze drawn to the elegant man.
Initially, there was nothing strange about it, but upon seeing the video playing on his phone, she felt rooted to the spot.
Sheng Chenjin, seeing Shi Xinxin staring at another man, felt an inexplicable annoyance.
They were here for business; why would she be distracted?
Just as he was about to pull her away, Shi Xinxin grabbed his sleeve.
She walked directly towards the man.
Sheng Chenjin's vexed mood was soothed by her touch.
However, his gaze remained cold.
Irritated, he felt like hitting someone.
He stared directly at the seated man, as if trying to bore a hole through him. The Xiao family, Xiao Jue, hmph.
"Excuse me, may I ask where the video playing on your phone is from?"
