The mysterious CEO's endless pampering

On the other end of the phone was a longtime friend of Liu Xinyi in the entertainment industry. "That's easy. Next Monday is Shen Yufei's grandfather's birthday. I happen to have two invitations. I'll take you there. There'll be a chance to meet her eventually. But I heard that Shen Yufei is about to marry the heir of the Gao family. Are you sure you can get her to come?"

"Whether we can persuade them or not, we can only try and see." This was the only solution Liu Xinyi could think of right now, and naturally she didn't want to miss any opportunity. "I'll have to trouble you to introduce me to them."

"Okay, no problem. Let's meet tomorrow and I'll send you the invitation."

"great, see you tomorrow."

Liu Xinyi put down her phone and looked at Shen Yufei's profile on the computer. She felt that Shen Yufei's image perfectly matched their company's promotional image, but for some reason, her features looked somewhat familiar, as if she had seen someone who looked remarkably like her somewhere before...

Who is it?

Liu Xinyi shook her head, not caring who she resembled. As long as she was willing to take on their endorsement, the company's brand awareness would definitely rise significantly.

But how can I get her to agree?

Just as she was thinking of a solution, she suddenly noticed the design manuscript that Shen Yanran had sent over on the table.

She picked it up and looked at it for a while, and liked it more and more the more she looked at it. She didn't expect Zhao Qingying to be exaggerating at all. Shen Yanran's design was indeed very unique and novel, and very eye-catching.

If one of these designs were given to Shen Yufei, even if she didn't agree to be a spokesperson, just the fact that she was willing to wear the jewelry to events would definitely bring a lot of publicity.

Liu Xinyi made up her mind and immediately picked up the landline to contact the production manager. "Manager Chen, I'll have someone give you a set of jewelry design drawings in a bit. Please help me create them. I need them quickly; I need them the day after tomorrow."

"Is it in such a hurry? Bring me the drawings first so I can take a look. I'll try my best to expedite the process for you."

"Okay, then I'll leave it to you. I'll treat you to dinner after it's done!"

When it was time to leave work, Shen Yanran packed her things and left.

As soon as she stepped out of the company gate, she saw a Bentley van that she recognized very well across the street.

The person sitting in the car also saw Shen Yanran and immediately got out of the driver's seat to open the back door for her.

Shen Yanran smiled slightly, walked over, and got into the car.

But once she got in the car, she realized that the person she had imagined wasn't there, and she felt a little disappointed.

As Li Zhanting's most capable assistant, Xu Fan naturally had mastered the art of reading people's expressions. After noticing the change in Shen Yanran's face through the rearview mirror, she immediately explained, "I'm sorry, Madam, I forgot to tell you that the company has been quite busy lately. The president is extremely busy and may work very late, so he cannot come to pick you up in person. I hope you can understand."

"Okay, I understand. Let's go." Shen Yanran didn't necessarily need Li Zhanting to pick her up from get off work every day; she just felt happy that he was the first person she saw after get off work each day.

"Okay, should I take you home for dinner first, or should I show you the new house first?" Xu Fan asked as he started the car.

Shen Yanran was slightly surprised, "You found a house so quickly?"

Xu Fan nodded. The president had specifically asked him to do this early in the morning, so of course he had to do it as soon as possible. "Yes, it's an apartment near your company, about a 15-minute walk away, and only a 20-minute drive from our company. Everything in the apartment is ready, and you can move in anytime."

Shen Yanran thought that even if she went back to the villa first, she would still be eating alone, so she might as well go to see the house with Xu Fan. "Let's go see the new house first."

Happiness Garden is the most luxurious apartment complex in Haicheng.

I heard that the price was driven up to almost astronomical as soon as the property was launched, but buyers kept flocking to purchase it.

Logically speaking, it should have been impossible to buy a new house long ago, and I don't know what method Xu Fan used.

Looking at the apartment buildings in front of her, which were even more luxurious than some villas, Shen Yanran suddenly regretted complaining to Li Zhanting that morning about how far her commute was.

Why waste money like this?

I don't know if I can get a refund. At worst, she can just get up a little earlier every day and consider it exercise.

Xu Fan led Shen Yanran into the apartment building. While waiting for the elevator, he suddenly noticed that Shen Yanran's complexion was not very good, so he asked with concern, "Madam, what's wrong? Do you not like it here? If you don't like it, I can have my staff arrange another room until you are satisfied."

How could Shen Yanran be dissatisfied? In such a prime location, most people wouldn't even be able to come here. She just felt that she hadn't done anything for Li Zhanting yet, and he had bought her an incredibly expensive mansion just because she said that her commute to work was too far and she had to get up early. She felt that she was being incredibly wasteful.

Shen Yanran sighed and asked, "Secretary Xu, I was just asking casually. How much did you pay for this new house? Can it be returned?"

"Check out?" Xu Fan was slightly taken aback, then smiled and explained, "Madam, you may have misunderstood. This house is actually registered under the president's name, but it has just never been occupied."

In fact, Shengtian International Company has invested in a lot of real estate in Haicheng. The Li family owns several properties in almost every residential area around the city center, and they are all in the best layouts and on the best floors.

They just haven't moved in yet.

Xu Fan also selected Xingfu Xinyuan from several communities after receiving instructions from Li Zhanting.

Shen Yanran really didn't expect that Li Zhanting owned so many properties. She thought that he only owned the detached villa of several thousand square meters that they were currently living in.

It seems she's been thinking too simply about some things...

The entire apartment building has 30 floors.

The new apartment Xu Fan mentioned was located on the 28th floor, the best location in the entire building.

The door lock is the most advanced fingerprint and password lock in China.

Shen Yanran only needed to press lightly on it, and the door in front of her opened easily.

This is a completely Scandinavian-style two-story duplex designed to be open and airy, with huge floor-to-ceiling windows throughout the house, allowing you to see the view outside at a glance.

Perhaps because of its super high-rise design, one can easily enjoy the sunset glow of Haicheng, see the beautiful scenery on both sides of the Haihe River every day, and even take in the entire city of Haicheng.

The home appliances and furniture are all the latest and most expensive models on the market, and you can see the care put into every decoration.

However, what captivated her most was the Bechstein piano, which was placed in the most prominent position in the living room.

It's the best performance piano in the world; Shen Yanran had only ever seen it mentioned on TV or in magazines before.

It was also the piano that her mother had always dreamed of playing.

Now that the piano was right there in front of her, she even wondered if she was dreaming again...

Shen Yanran's trembling fingertips glided across the smooth piano lid, a slight pang of sadness rising in her heart.

She missed her mother, the woman who had always doted on and loved her.

She taught her to speak her first words and also taught her to play her first piano piece, which made her fall in love with the piano.

But when Shen Yufei arrived, she not only stole her family affection, but also tried to take away the piano that her mother had left her. She would not smash the piano in a fit of anger. Even if she could no longer play it, she would never let such a vicious woman as Shen Yufei touch it.

With fond memories of her mother in mind, Shen Yanran gently lifted the piano lid and stroked each of the black and white keys.

The melodious piano music also gently emerged as her fingers glided across the strings.

It truly lives up to its reputation as a world-class piano; just two simple notes played produced such a beautiful sound.

What would it be like to play a complete piano piece?

Shen Yanran slowly sat down at the piano. Without needing any sheet music, she naturally played a piece called "Letter to Mother".

As the full music slowly filled the room, Shen Yanran could no longer suppress her longing for her mother, and tears streamed down her delicate, fair cheeks.

Xu Fan stood to the side, watching Shen Yanran's back from afar, feeling her moving performance, which made him think of his own mother.

Even though he was such a strong-willed man, he couldn't help but shed tears at this moment.

In order to prevent Shen Yanran from seeing him behaving so rudely, he left the room key and quietly left.

When the song ended, Shen Yanran wiped away her tears, took several deep breaths, and finally calmed down.

When she got up, she found that Xu Fan was no longer in the house, and she was the only one in the new house of four or five hundred square meters.

Shen Yanran glanced at her watch and realized it was already 6:30, time for dinner. She wondered if Li Zhanting had finished his work yet.

Have you been eating on time?

Shen Yanran remembered Xu Fan saying that Li Zhanting might work very late, and knowing that workaholic as she did, he definitely wouldn't eat on his own.

Why doesn't she take pity on him and cook him a loving dinner? Otherwise, she'll feel lonely eating alone in the new house...

Shen Yanran is a woman of action; she does what she says she will do.

Seeing that the refrigerator was well-stocked with food, she quickly decided what she wanted to make and immediately got to work.

About an hour later, Shen Yanran put the four dishes and one soup she had prepared into a pre-prepared insulated lunchbox and then set off.

Shengtian International.

In the top-floor office, Li Zhanting was indeed working without eating, just as Shen Yanran had suspected.

He has high expectations for his company's employees, and he also has exceptionally high expectations for himself. He dislikes being disturbed while working.

However, at this very moment, some incredibly oblivious person knocked on his office door.

The person outside, receiving no response, boldly pushed the door open...
