The little rose is so sweet and alluring, even the aloof CEO can't resist!

Zhou Mei asked for more details about Yan Zhixu, and Liang Liangwei told her about what Yan Zhixu had told her on the phone about being allowed to make three phone calls a day.

Zhou Mei frowned after hearing this, and after a long while she reluctantly said, "Alright, it's good that we can get in touch. I hope it's true what he said, that he will be released soon."

Liang Liangwei nodded. She had confidence in Yan Zhixu. Since he had said those words, he must have done a deep analysis of his situation.

Moreover, she had sent a WeChat message to Liang Wenyi that morning to verify the information, and Liang Wenyi's reply basically confirmed the accuracy of the information.

Zhou Mei looked at her, her eyes full of meaning.

Yan Zhixu could only make three phone calls a day: one to a high-ranking embassy official, one to his assistant, and the last one to Liang Liangwei, which shows how important she was to him.

She was pleased and agreed with her nephew's judgment.

For some reason, she thought of her adopted daughter, who was far away on the other side of the ocean, a girl she had thought was just an ordinary mixed-race girl, and her heart started racing again.

Years ago, her best friend died young from illness, and her foreign boyfriend had long since disappeared, leaving behind a pitiful eight-year-old girl. Unable to bear seeing the little girl sent to an orphanage, she kindly adopted her.

She had been carefully cared for for over a decade, but she never expected that after growing up, she would take the initiative to look for her biological father. And when she found him, she discovered that he was Jewish.

After they recognized each other, it is unknown what the father and daughter talked about. In recent years, she has occasionally made projects that failed. It is normal to make mistakes in business, and the losses are not significant, so the group did not take it seriously.

But it wasn't until recently, when Yan Zhixu privately showed her the evidence, that she realized her adopted daughter had embezzled the group's investment money by using "failed" projects. Several projects combined amounted to hundreds of millions of US dollars!

She couldn't understand why Lisa would do something like this, given that she clearly liked Yan Zhixu and had expressed it openly many times, and that she herself held a high-ranking position in the Bosch Group with a considerable income despite not owning many shares.

Even if her feelings are not reciprocated, that cannot be a reason for her to retaliate against the family business, right?

Moreover, this is the family that raised her for so many years and was kind to her. How is this any different from repaying kindness with enmity?

Based on the timeline, it started gradually after she and her Jewish father recognized each other, so it can be almost concluded that the funds were taken and given to the other party.

This is why, after Lisa botched several projects in a row, and shareholders protested and threatened to impeach her as CEO of the North American region, she did not step in to help.

If Yan Zhixu hadn't been detained by the authorities due to an accident, the evidence would have already been submitted to the police for investigation.

However, it's not too late to submit evidence after he gets out. At that time, Lisa and her Jewish father will be investigated and punished severely.

She wouldn't interfere, but she felt guilty towards her friend for not raising her daughter well.

In the ward, Mrs. Zhou said she was hungry, so Mr. Zhou opened the lunch boxes on the table one by one and called the two of them to eat.

Zhou Mei snapped out of her daze, responded with a smile, and took Liang Liangwei's arm as they walked inside. The four of them began to eat.

In the afternoon, news of Yan Zhixu finally broke online: he was able to communicate normally with the outside world, and the situation was roughly the same as what he had told Liang Liangwei.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs also confirmed this.

The United States sent media reporters to interview him, mainly about his various investment projects in two countries and Indonesia recently. They asked him whether he had invested in high-tech industries such as chips in China, and why he did not choose the United States.

The interview was posted online as a video. In just 5 minutes, the dough figurine appeared very composed in front of the camera.

“These are all very attractive emerging industries. It’s not surprising who invests or where they invest. I just find it very strange that they would detain me without even knowing whether I have invested or not. Isn’t that a bit unfair to me personally?”

Reporter: "Because you have been investing in the United States for the past few years, but this year you have made two unusual trips to the United States, and stayed for two months each time. This makes people wonder if you have a new country to invest in."

Yan Zhixu smiled slightly and said, "Then you have wronged me. I already explained it a few days ago when the specialist asked me, but they didn't believe me. So I'll take this opportunity of interviewing to say it again."

He had been looking at the reporter while speaking, but paused here, then turned his gaze to the camera, a gentle look appearing in his deep black eyes, as if he were looking at someone through the lens.

She chuckled softly, "As everyone knows, I'm already 30 years old, and I've been too busy with work to take care of my personal life. Two months ago, I went back to China to visit relatives, and by chance, I met a girl who made my heart flutter. So, I stayed in Panda Country for two months to date her."

The reporter looked surprised.

Yan Zhixu continued unhurriedly, "Anyone who has been in a relationship knows that how can couples in the throes of new love endure long-term separation? Last month, I had to come back because Bosch Group headquarters needed my presence for work, but I flew back shortly after. This time, it's because an elder in my family was hospitalized, and I came back to take care of him. I didn't expect that I would be invited here before I've even been to the hospital a few times."

He shrugged helplessly and said, "I haven't contacted my family for a week, and I'm worried about my elders' health; I haven't contacted my girlfriend either, and I don't know if she's angry with me. Today I was finally allowed to make three phone calls a day, and I've already used up two of my chances. I'm thinking of calling my girlfriend when she wakes up for this last one."

"Every minute and every second is torture for me right now. I miss her so much, I miss her so much—"

He tapped his chest, his voice tinged with grievance, and said, "Thinking about it makes my chest ache."

After watching the video, Liang Liangwei's face turned bright red.

What a jerk! He actually confessed his love in front of the whole world. What's the difference between that and an official announcement?

Okay, now the whole world knows he's in a relationship. Doesn't he feel embarrassed?

Fortunately, she was already home. If she were still at the hospital or at the company, she couldn't imagine how Zhou's family and colleagues would look at her, especially the latter, who would definitely urge her to tell the details of their relationship!

Sure enough, Su Xiaorong sent her a WeChat message teasing her about it.

The internet exploded with discussion.

[Is the girlfriend the guy was talking about ZXS (the stylist)? Ahhh, I can't take it anymore, I'm totally shipping them!]

[Miss ZXS, could you please post something on Weibo to admit it? Then, a big shot could reply with a @mention or like the post so we know the truth!]

I swear, Bosch is the only male god I will ever have for the rest of my life. He's so handsome! He's handsome in appearance, he speaks coolly, and he does amazing things!

Yes, yes, that patriotic persona is fantastic! From now on, I'll definitely be a part of the patriotic army!

Long live patriotism! Long live the Panda Nation! This guy is awesome! Miss ZXS is amazing!
