    It was not until Xu Jiaojiao had tidied up the office that she felt that something was amiss. Where had her brother gone for so long?


    Just as she was about to go out and look for him, she suddenly received a call from her best friend.


    “Tell me, how far have you progressed?”


    Xu Jiaojiao was speechless. “I’m not that fast. 1 haven’t started anything yet, okay?”


    After all, she had no experience in pursuing men.


    “What else do you need? Just find the right time and tell him that you like him. If you ask me, just drag him into bed.” Su Luo had always been straightforward. She really could not stand this kind of hesitation.


    “Anything else?”


    “What else is there? That’s enough.”


    Xu Jiaojiao was speechless. “Aren’t you being too straightforward? What if he doesn’t like me?” She needed to keep up the act with Qi Shenbai for her grandmother’s sake. If her confession failed, it would be too awkward for them to get along in the future.


    Su Luo thought about it carefully before she spoke again. “Why don’t you ask him out on a date? While you’re hanging out, you can get to know each other and improve your rtionship. You can confess when you find the right time.” “Where should we go?”


    “How about an escape room?” Su Luo was excited. “You must find the most terrifying theme. When the timees, if you’re afraid, just throw yourself into his arms and let him save the damsel in distress. You two will be able to develop your feelings for each other after a few more hugs.”


    Xu Jiaojiao was speechless. Wasn’t that too unreliable?


    “Sis, do you have any other good ideas?”


    “Just believe me, sis. This is definitely the best chance.” Su Luo even continued, “In for a penny, in for a pound. Just ask him out! 1’11 find a ce for you and send you the addresster.”


    Xu Jiaojiao’s head was full of question marks. This was just the beginning. Was there a need to be in such a hurry?


    While she was chatting with her best friend, the two men in the office were already arguing.


    To be precise, Xu Zhengyang was going crazy alone.


    Qi Shenbai was reading the document calmly, not even bothering to look at him.


    Seeing him like this, Xu Zhengyang became even angrier. “You’re really patient, aren’t you? Do you even know how to speak? I’ve been talking for so long, but you never f*cking reply!”


    It was time he staked his authority as the older brother-inw.


    “What do you want me to say? Jiaojiao went to the Lu family home today.”


    “F*ck.” Xu Zhengyang was obviously triggered by that.


    “Why did she go to the Lu family? Is that bastard still pestering her?”


    “I only heard that Old Mrs. Lu isn’t feeling well,” Qi Shenbai said lightly.


    However, Xu Zhengyang sneered. “The Lu family is the best at acting. That hag has always been as strong as an ox. How is she unwell?”


    Qi Shenbai did not say much. A dark look shed across his ck eyes as he said indifferently, “I see that you don’t have much to do recently. Do you want to go down to the project department to help?”


    “Pfft, I think you just can’t bear to see me free. You want to squeeze me dry, you ck-hearted capitalist.”


    Qi Shenbai was not angry at being rejected so stiffly. He continued to say calmly, “I heard that Lu Zhuo has been fighting for the new ecological living area project.”


    A smart person would understand immediately. Xu Zhengyang instantly understood what he meant.


    “I suddenly feel that as colleagues, we have to help each other. Since I have the skills, it’s fine to go there and give some pointers.”


    Initially, the Qi Corporation did not intend to interfere in the new ecological project developed by the government. However, when Xu Zhengyang heard that the Lu family was getting a share of the profits, he naturally did not want them to seed.


    Even if the project was not profitable, it could increase their poprity. Therefore, somepanies that wanted to build brand poprity would be very interested.


    The two men met each other’s eyes and smiled.


    Xu Jiaojiao did not know what they were nning. After waiting for a long time, her brother still had not returned. Just as she was about to look for him, the office door was suddenly pushed open.


    Xu Zhengyang walked in front of Qi Shenbai, his face full of frustration. He turned around and red at the CEO. “What are you doing in my office?”


    “I’m here to pick up my wife, of course.”


    He did not deliberately lower his voice, and the office door was still open. Everyone widened their eyes in surprise when they heard this conversation.


    All the employees were dumbfounded. Who would have thought that Mr. Xu’s sister was Mr. Qi’s wife?!


    Those technical geeks who were still entertaining lofty dreams instantly fell silent. If they dared to have any more improper thoughts, they would probably lose their jobs.


    Xu Jiaojiao felt a little embarrassed to be addressed as Mrs. Qi like that. She could only helplessly try to change the topic. “Su Luo and 1 are going to an escape roomter. Do you want toe with us?”


    Before Qi Shenbai could say anything, Xu Zhengyang instantlyughed. “Look at him. Does he look like someone who knows how to solve an escape room? Mr.. Qi, do you even know what that is?”
