“Cough, cough!” A group of ladies sat at a table, one of them on a blind date with a man who couldn’t seem to keep his eyes on her. Instead, his gaze wandered toward the corner. She followed his line of sight and though she could only see a side profile, the air of elegance and tranquility about the woman there made her, who considered herself good-looking, feel a pang of self-doubt. She cleared her throat to get the man’s attention.

“Sorry, I…,”

“Is she pretty?” the lady asked with a smile.

The man hesitated for a moment, his expression somewhat awkward, but his gaze didn’t waver. Finally, he nodded and spoke the truth, “Yes, she is.”

“Then, between the both of us, who looks better?”

This question was a minefield.

The man contemplated for a moment, “Both of you are different.”

“What’s the difference?”

“You are very beautiful, but she has a great temperament.”

Satisfaction flashed in the lady’s eyes. She liked the straightforwardness and honesty, “I think we can exchange WeChat contacts to make it easier for our next meeting.”

The man smiled. “It would be an honor.”

Meanwhile, Shen Wan, sitting in the corner, was completely unaware that her inadvertent presence had actually facilitated a connection between two destined souls.

She came here to wait for someone.

Suddenly, a shadow loomed over her, “Have you been waiting long? Sorry, sorry…”

Zhou Chi dropped his suitcase, pulled out a chair, and sat down directly, feeling like he had come back to life.

“What’s with the weather in Ning City? It’s already August, and it’s still so hot.”

Shen Wan signaled for a waiter. “Get him a glass of soda.”

Zhou Chi added, “Make it with ice!”

The waiter nodded and walked away with a smile.

Shen Wan kicked the suitcase at her feet, “Are you planning to stay here for a while?”

“I’d love to! But unfortunately, I have to fly to Jingping this afternoon.”

“For what?”

“There’s a mobile game development conference over there, and Qihang received an invitation. I’m going to check it out.”

Although he said it casually, the fact that Zhou Chi was willing to leave his current work to attend the conference in person indicated its significance.

“Has Qihang grown to the point where it receives invitations like this?”

Out of the many game studios, only the top ones received invitations to such events. Qihang had just started, so it was a reasonable question from Shen Wan.

Zhou Chi received the soda the waiter brought and said, “A while ago, we submitted a small game for a competition, and Xunya showed interest in buying it. After that, we had several other companies approaching us. We’ve gained some recognition now.” He had a look of “I’m quite troubled by this” on his face, but there was a hidden smile at the corner of his lips.

Shen Wan also smiled. “And the paperwork?”

“I almost forgot!” He pulled out a document from his bag and pushed it over. “I signed the acquisition contract before, and now the transfer contract is ready. If you could just sign it, I’ll take it back to Mr. Yi, and his legal team will help with the corporate changes and equity transfer.”

In the matter of acquiring Mingya, Zhou Chi played only the role of a bridge, facilitating communication between Yi Hong and Shen Wan.

Once the ownership of Mingya was finally confirmed, he could consider his mission accomplished.

Shen Wan signed her name, and with that, Mingya had come full circle and was now in her hands.

“After you return, please thank Mr. Yi for me. If there’s a chance, invite him for a meal in Beihai.”

Zhou Chi placed the document safely, “OK, I’ll convey your message word for word. I’m in a hurry to catch my flight, so I’ll leave now…”

Shen Wan said, “I’ll go with you.”

After leaving the cafe, Zhou Chi took a taxi to the airport, while Shen Wan prepared to head back. Suddenly, her phone rang.

She glanced at the caller ID and raised an eyebrow.

Quan Hanting?
