The next day, Wen Yuan woke up on the sofa.

I drank a little too much red wine last night and fell asleep on the sofa in a daze.

She opened her eyes and realized she was covered with a blanket.

The curtains in the living room were thoughtfully drawn to block out the hot sunlight outside.

Needless to say, it must be Aunt Ma.

Sure enough, when Wen Yuan got up, he found Aunt Ma's warm breakfast on the dining table, along with a note.

"Mr. Wen, remember to eat breakfast after you get up."

When Wen Yuan started his business a few years ago, he was so busy that he worked day and night and often forgot to eat breakfast.

Since Aunt Ma came, she insisted on cooking breakfast every day, which helped her adjust her chaotic schedule.

Wen Yuan opened the rice cooker, filled a bowl of porridge, and called Ji Xingyao while eating.

"Hello, Ayuan." Ji Xingyao had woken up a long time ago. There were clanging sounds in the house and he could hear someone talking.

"The moving company is here so early?"

"Yeah, they came at 8:30. Oh, and my phone got soaked in water yesterday, but it turned on again after it dried. It's amazing."

Ji Xingyao was talking on the phone with her shoulder tucked between her shoulders, while her hands were busy packing her suitcase.

"Xingyao, I seem to have seen..."

"Eh? Master, please pack the bags in this cabinet separately. Yes, yes, and those shoes over there... where? Oh, I'll take you back. A-Yuan, I'm going to hang up first. I'm a little busy here."

After the call was hung up, Wen Yuan sighed softly.

In fact, she didn't know how to bring up the topic of Li Zhao. After all, they had disappeared from her life for a long time.

The detailed information about Gao Yan that the secretary had investigated had been sent to Wen Yuan's email, but for some reason, she hadn't opened it yet.

This behavior is very contradictory. Perhaps she is avoiding this fact in her heart and does not want to reveal the mystery in advance.

She shook her head, clearing away the random thoughts in her mind.

Ji Mingyi had a dinner appointment at noon, and judging by the time, it was almost time to leave.

It was already late when Wen Yuan got up. He didn't have time to go to the company today, so he went straight to the banquet.

After washing up, she changed into a less formal suit and put on some light makeup.

At this time, Ji Mingyi sent her the restaurant location. Wen Yuan took a glance and saw that it was a Western restaurant with very expensive per capita fees.

It is located right on the beach of Haiyang, and you can enjoy a 360-degree view of the sea.

She thought that today was probably a private party and wouldn't be too formal, so she dressed casually.

I heard that the president of the Merchant Shipping Association is not tall, only 1.68 meters. Before going out, Wen Yuan had half a foot in high heels, then took it out and changed into a pair of flat shoes.

The red Lamborghini drove out of Liwan No. 1 Manor and arrived at the destination half an hour later.

Wen Yuan, who has always been calm, also complained about the traffic in Hai City, which is too congested.

It took me half an hour to drive eight kilometers. I was so tired. Fortunately, I wore flat shoes today, otherwise I would have been twice as tired.

"Xiao Yuan." Ji Mingyi stood at the door of the restaurant and waved at her.

Wen Yuan got out of the car and came up to him: "Mr. Ji."

"Come in, the president hasn't arrived yet, let's wait inside."

Ji Mingyi led Wen Yuan to a semi-hidden box surrounded by green plants.

The landscaping of this restaurant is very good, with vibrant green plants everywhere.

The restaurant has a unique layout. There are no walls or screens between each private room, but dense plants.

Walking in the restaurant is like walking in a tropical forest near the equator, with the fresh scent of green grass filling your nose.

I haven’t tried the dishes yet, but I’ve already been impressed by their design and decoration style.

Wen Yuan thought that when Ji Xingyao came back, he would definitely recommend her to check in here to add more material for her Vlog.

Not long after we took our seats, the president of the shipping association arrived.

Upon seeing the real person, Wen Yuan took a deep breath. It was an exaggeration to say that the president was 1.68 meters tall. Looking at it with the naked eye, he must be at most 1.6 meters tall.

Fortunately, I changed into flat shoes before going out, otherwise Wen Yuan would probably have to stare at the president's forehead while talking to him the whole time.

"Hello, President, I am Wen Yuan from Xingyuan Media." Wen Yuan extended his hand.

"Mr. Wen, I've long heard of you. It's a pleasure to meet you."

The two men shook hands, and after letting go, Ji Mingyi invited the president to the main seat, and he and Wen Yuan sat on both sides of the president respectively.

Ji Mingyi ordered the restaurant's signature dish. The food was served quickly and the service was first-class. Facing the blue sea, the scenery was absolutely beautiful. If it wasn't for a social event, it would be a good choice for a small gathering with friends.

During the dinner, the three of them flattered each other, in a way that was both hypocritical and sincere, and more or less tested each other.

Halfway through the meal, Ji Mingyi naturally turned the topic to the wharf project.

The terminal is completed and will be put into use soon. I heard that several new shipping routes will be added. She and Ji Mingyi both want to invest and get a piece of the pie.

Ji Mingyi is just a hobbyist. The Ji family's industries are mainly concentrated in hotels and shopping malls, and have never been involved in port terminals.

He saw that Wen Yuan was interested, so he took the opportunity to get involved while trying to build relationships for her.

Ji Mingyi and Wen Yuan have known each other for two years and he has discovered that she has excellent vision. Whether it is a project she is interested in or the stock market, her performance has never failed to meet the standards and he has never seen her make a loss in a business.

Businessmen are profit-oriented. How could they remain indifferent when a money-making project is right in front of them?

When the dock was mentioned, the president of the shipping association pretended to be enlightened: "So, this meal has a different purpose than the wine."

He picked up a piece of goose liver and did not answer Ji Mingyi's question. Instead, he changed the subject: "This goose liver is good, Mr. Wen, Mr. Ji, try it."

Everyone present was a smart person. The fact that the president of the shipping association didn't respond meant that they hadn't offered him the chips that satisfied him.

The three of them temporarily returned to the topic of dining.

When they were almost done eating, Wen Yuan talked about some ideas about investment, and then humbly and sincerely asked the president of the Shipping Association whether these investments were feasible.

The president smiled meaningfully and said, "President Wen has good vision."

Wen Yuan struck while the iron was hot: "President, the new dock expansion hasn't been put into operation yet, so the old dock is still in daily operation, right?"

At this point, the president put down his chopsticks and said, "Premier Wen is right. Everything at the old dock remains the same. By the way, there's been a big event at our dock recently."

"What's the matter?" Wen Yuan immediately asked with interest.

"There was an antique collector who chartered a ship and brought back a shipload of antiques from overseas."

Antiques? Wen Yuan knew that the president wouldn't bring this up for no reason.

"Haha, I don't usually have many hobbies, but I love ancient objects. There's a Nine Dragon and Nine Phoenix Crown on this ship that has never been seen before, and I want to see it in person."

Wen Yuan understood.

To smooth the relationship, we must cater to his interests. By finding this antique collector and letting the president of the Shipping Association get what he wants, Wen Yuan’s investment will be almost certain.

"This is an easy matter, Chairman. Leave it to me and President Wen." Ji Mingyi patted his chest and promised.

"Haha, okay, then I'll wait for your good news."
