Hearing this, Shi Xinxin looked down at the screen. "What's wrong?"
She saw the annotation on the enrollment requirements, which stated that students aged three to ten were being recruited.
"That's not too high, considering they're children. How high do you expect it to be?" Shi Xinxin teased Xiao Qian with a smile.
Xiao Qian sighed helplessly. Regardless of whether the requirement was low or not, as long as there was a place for him to challenge himself, he was content.
Xiao Jie had no objections to this intellectual enhancement program and readily agreed. Xiao Yu, however, was a bit troubled.
Shi Xinxin looked at him, thinking he was dissatisfied and hesitant.
She had spent half an hour choosing this intelligence enhancement group, and it was indeed one in a hundred. It was said that the enterprise running this enhancement program spanned six countries, and their reputation was generally four stars or above, which is why Shi Xinxin felt reassured sending the three exceptionally intelligent young men there.
But now she was beginning to doubt if the requirements for these three kids were perhaps too high.
Xiao Yu's concern wasn't about this. He was wondering if, by participating in this program, he would no longer have time to play matchmaker for his daddy and mommy.
However, upon realizing that there would still be some time during the holidays, Xiao Yu also nodded in agreement.
Shi Xinxin, confirming that all three of them were willing, happily transferred the money to the other party.
Classes were scheduled for the day after tomorrow, so Shi Xinxin allowed them to play freely for these few days.
Her most urgent task now was to find out the real reason behind the postponement of the Shiluo Competition.
Sitting at her desk, Shi Xinxin typed on the keyboard and sent an email to Old Shi, who was in another country, informing him about the suspicious circumstances surrounding the Shiluo Competition.
Very quickly, within three minutes, she received a reply.
Shi Xinxin opened the email, her focus shifting to a more serious tone.
Old Shi sent a few words of greeting and then got to the main point, stating that he now understood the matter and had already sent people to Shiluo for a thorough investigation. However, the organization behind it had taken pains to hide their tracks, making the investigation a challenging task.
Shi Xinxin had clearly anticipated this outcome. She knew that Elder Feng and his group had their ways of covering their tracks.
But paper could only wrap fire for so long; they would eventually leave some clues without paying attention, it was just that she hadn't discovered them yet.
Shi Xinxin thought for a moment and then asked Old Shi for the contact information of the Shiluo CEO.
The CEO of Shiluo, Jiang Ling, was one of her few friends during her time abroad.
When she moved into the Shi family and began taking over family affairs, she happened to meet Jiang Ling at a meeting regarding priority for product acquisition. At that time, she didn't know he was the young master of the prestigious Jiang family, a close friend of the Shi family. Full of vigor as a new official, she was determined to push him out of the product priority.
Jiang Ling didn't back down either, and he put his best efforts into dealing with her. As the saying goes, they became acquainted through conflict. They met each other before their families had formally introduced them.
However, during this process of mutual competition, Shi Xinxin also unexpectedly discovered Jiang Ling's strengths, and Jiang Ling was also somewhat impressed by Shi Xinxin's rare strong feminine character. They unexpectedly became friends, and naturally, they both ended up securing 50% of the priority.
It was only at the family banquet hosted by both families that Shi Xinxin and Jiang Ling formally met each other. To their surprise, their families had been friends for three generations.
Shi Xinxin's thoughts were pulled back from her memories. She glanced at the screen; Old Shi had already sent Jiang Ling's contact information.
He had also thoughtfully instructed her not to get too involved if no clues were found, and to focus on taking care of the company.
Shi Xinxin knew her grandfather was worried about her and replied to reassure him.
Using the contact information provided by Old Shi, she successfully found Jiang Ling's account.
Shi Xinxin's eyes lit up, feeling a glimmer of hope. She quickly clicked on it, but hesitated when she saw the friend request verification.
They hadn't seen each other for half a year, and she wasn't sure what to say to make Jiang Ling accept her.
Even if she sent her real name, it was not certain that Jiang Ling would agree to the request. After all, it was possible that a competitor from another company might be probing for information.
She should have asked her grandfather to have Jiang Ling recognize her account earlier. After thinking for a while, Shi Xinxin still sent a request with her real name.
Whether he accepted it or not was beyond her control. At worst, she could simply ignore this competition matter and proceed with her original plan to investigate Elder Feng, which would be easier and more straightforward.
However, thinking about the deep friendship she shared with Jiang Ling, Shi Xinxin couldn't bring herself to stand by idly.
As she was lost in thought about these miscellaneous matters, her laptop emitted a "ding dong" notification sound. The sudden sound startled Shi Xinxin.
Could it be that Jiang Ling had accepted her friend request? Shi Xinxin smiled slowly and then quickly checked the message. xxs壹贰
Indeed, she saw a message prompt box stating that the other party had accepted the friend request.
Shi Xinxin excitedly typed: "How could you be so sure I was Shi Xinxin? You agreed to my friend request so quickly."
At most, only two minutes had passed since she sent the friend request.
Jiang Ling must be extremely busy right now, yet he still found time to specifically look at friend requests.
In country S, outside the floor-to-ceiling window, lights twinkled in the night. A man in a black suit stood tall by the window, looking at his phone and smiling faintly.
Jiang Ling: "I don't know how, perhaps it's the tacit understanding of old friends. I suddenly thought of you, and then I saw your friend request."
This sense of security from being infinitely trusted by a friend filled Shi Xinxin with peace.
She typed: "Then I must thank you for still remembering me, your old friend. But let's get to the point, what's going on with the Shiluo Competition being postponed?"
Jiang Ling quickly sent a message: "Don't worry, it should be an issue with our internal personnel. I'm investigating it thoroughly."
Shi Xinxin immediately understood. It was definitely Elder Feng who had planted someone to cause trouble on purpose.
She asked: "Do you still remember the master I mentioned to you before? The one people outside call Elder Feng."
Jiang Ling paused for a moment, as if recalling her past words.
Jiang Ling: "Mm, you seem to have mentioned him once, and you were very respectful towards him. What's wrong?"
Seeing the words "very respectful," Shi Xinxin felt an irritation.
If she had recognized Elder Feng's true nature earlier, she wouldn't have been so easily fooled by him like a monkey at that time.
She calmed herself and typed: "But I suspect that he might be the one responsible for this incident. So, once you find any information related to him, you must send it to me immediately."
She thought of something and quickly added: "You don't need to ask what happened between him and me. In short, he is not a good person."
Jiang Ling replied without any pause: "Okay, I will investigate along these lines."
Seeing that he believed her unconditionally, Shi Xinxin smiled with relief. This was probably what friendship meant.
