Feng Yu walked Shi Xin Xin to the entrance of her apartment building.
Glancing at the sky, Shi Xin Xin turned, "Alright, you can see me off here. Go back and rest well."
Feng Yu nodded, reminded her to be careful, and stood there watching Shi Xin Xin leave.
On her way home, Shi Xin Xin received a message from Yang Yue.
She saw it was news that tomorrow's competition had been postponed.
Frowning slightly, Shi Xin Xin immediately called her, "What's going on? Why was the competition inexplicably postponed?"
Yang Yue's tone was serious, "I'm investigating on my end, but I haven't gotten any results yet, so I haven't informed you."
Shi Xin Xin understood, and she increasingly felt that the matter was not simple.
Shi Luo had emerged as a dark horse among many international brands. In just five years, they had established a foothold in the cutthroat design industry. This was due not only to their excellent products and customer satisfaction but also to their trustworthy efficiency.
For this competition, they should have been preparing for months, with every detail handled. How could an accident have happened the day before?
Although they said it was postponed, the exact number of days it would be delayed was not publicly announced, which made Shi Xin Xin even more anxious.
After all, hundreds of companies in the design circle were eyeing Shi Luo, waiting for any misstep to take their place. If it were postponed by more than three days, the competition would likely be taken over by another company.
And the design drafts that Shi Xin Xin and Qiao Qiao had spent a week preparing would have to be scrapped.
Shi Xin Xin was not satisfied with this outcome, but this terrible result was the best she could think of at the moment.
She did not want the design drafts, filled with her hard work, to go to waste.
Shi Xin Xin thought for a moment where she stood. Without delay, she decided to go back and ask Feng Yu.
As she walked back, her phone vibrated in her pocket, and the ringtone sounded.
Shi Xin Xin looked at the caller ID and answered, "Why are you calling me all of a sudden? Is something wrong?"
The caller was Sheng Chen Jin. He smiled, "I miss you, can't I call you?"
Shi Xin Xin was speechless, and she tried to sound stern, "I have important matters to attend to right now, no time to mess around with you here."
As she spoke, she moved the phone away to hang up.
As if he could guess her action, Sheng Chen Jin said, "The important matter you have to deal with is likely the postponement of the Shi Luo competition, right?"
Her doubts were precisely what he had hit upon. Shi Xin Xin was stunned, and her actions stopped.
She brought the phone closer to her ear, "How did you know tomorrow's competition would be postponed?"
"Simple," Sheng Chen Jin's voice came through, with a magnetic quality, as if he were speaking close to Shi Xin Xin's ear, like he was whispering in someone's ear. Shi Xin Xin coughed lightly.
"Because you were going to participate in the competition tomorrow, I paid a little more attention. I didn't expect an accident to actually happen."
Shi Xin Xin now had no other thoughts, her brow furrowed, "So you also think this accident definitely has something to do with Elder Feng, right?"
Sheng Chen Jin was not surprised, as if he had expected it. He hummed, "As expected, we are of one heart and mind, telepathically connected."
Shi Xin Xin was not in the mood to banter with him now, and quickly said, "Do you have any good solutions?"
"I haven't thought of anything yet. But why are you so eager to resolve this?" Sheng Chen Jin suddenly remembered that Shi Luo and the Shi family had quite a history.
"I want to use this opportunity to boost CL's international reputation." Shi Xin Xin didn't hide it from him. The sunset was dazzlingly red, and she walked along the road, kicking small stones.
Of course, she was also doing it because of the close relationship between Shi Luo and the Shi family.
Even if she didn't intervene now, her grandfather would send someone to investigate after receiving the news in a few days. It was better for her to handle it directly, as she understood the person making these moves behind the scenes very well.
"Well, since it's beneficial to you, it would be wrong of me not to help," Sheng Chen Jin readily decided, "Don't worry, I will help you find a solution."
Shi Xin Xin paused, seemingly not expecting Sheng Chen Jin to help her so readily.
She couldn't help but suspect that Sheng Chen Jin had ulterior motives. Her tone was half-skeptical, "Why are you so efficient all of a sudden? Is there something you want to ask of me, or are you planning to extort a huge sum from me again..."
She was still contemplating the third possibility when Sheng Chen Jin laughed, his voice low and seductive, "Don't overthink it. I just have a lot of free time recently and can help you with this to make you owe me a favor."
So that was his goal. Shi Xin Xin's fluttering heart instantly disappeared.
She kicked a large stone by the roadside and then smiled, "Don't worry, I will definitely repay this favor. Then we'll be even."
After saying that, Shi Xin Xin hung up the phone with a tap.
If she continued talking to this man, who lacked any romantic sense, she would die young.
There was no need to look for Feng Yu now. Shi Xin Xin turned and went home.
The three little ones had already eaten and were playing in their respective areas. Seeing Shi Xin Xin return, they quickly ran over.
"Mommy, I just saw the news. It seems you won't be able to attend the competition tomorrow." Xiao Qian was the first to grasp all the information.
Xiao Jie quickly said, "I can try to help Mommy solve it!"
Shi Xin Xin smiled at the little ones, "Don't worry, I already have a plan. I won't let you three worry."
They could only return, looking disappointed, and all expressed that staying at home all day was too boring and they wanted to find challenging things to do.
Shi Xin Xin overheard their murmurs and suddenly had an idea.
These three little ones had intelligence far beyond their peers. Staying at home all day was indeed limiting their growth.
Shi Xin Xin opened her laptop and typed what she had in mind into the search bar. Soon, information appeared page after page.
The three little ones were playing on the computer by the living room balcony, but they were all distracted, thinking about what challenging tasks they could do now.
Just as they were pondering, Shi Xin Xin came into the living room with her laptop, "Alright, I announce that you no longer have to stay at home all day."
She showed them the screen and raised her eyebrows, "I've enrolled you in an advanced intelligence children's group. Whether you want to participate is up to you."
The three little ones were bored to death and quickly nodded eagerly.
Xiao Qian then carefully looked at the introduction on the homepage and hesitated, "The recruitment requirements are too low."
