“Baby, that’s Daddy. Daddy is so amazing and handsome, isn’t he?” Lin Lan, far away in Paris, said gently while watching the live stream on her tablet.

After reading the report, she put down her tablet and walked to the bedroom window. Looking up at the vast night sky, she was lost in endless longing as she gazed eastward. "When you grow up, you must be as smart, wise, righteous, and...affectionate as him. Do you understand?"

I was looking forward to seeing him soon, and before I knew it, my eyes were wet.

Lin Zhicheng said he would come to Paris to visit her after signing the contract. Hopefully, he will come too, to see the baby and her...

"Click! Click! Click! Click!"

The signing ceremony proceeded smoothly under the intense spotlight.

In the presence of the media, the four groups signed the cooperation agreements one by one. A thunderous applause erupted, and representatives from various businesses stepped forward to offer their congratulations.

Night, like an enormous curtain, quietly unfolds.

Chen Shengfeng was the most active person at the celebration party. He finally made a name for himself in S City through this cooperative project.

Therefore, many businesses took the initiative to curry favor with him. This kept him and Chen Meiyuan busy with these social interactions.

Zeng Ziyan had been constantly pestered by Jiang Jinhui, and it was only during his trip to S City that he learned the young woman was actually the heiress of the Zeng Group. This surprised Jiang Jinhui for quite a while; the woman he had his eye on was indeed extraordinary.

Li Songze, who always preferred silence to socializing, was never enthusiastic about social events. On most occasions, he would send Su Di and Xing Yi to represent him.

Tonight, he had intended to just go through the motions and go back to his room to rest. However, a figure made him stop in his tracks—it was Liu Sisi.

Because of the grand scale and numerous guests, Liu Sisi did not attend as Mr. Lin's girlfriend, but instead discreetly joined the ranks of Lin's employees.

At this moment, Lei Ke, whom she hadn't seen for quite some time, was beside her. They held wine glasses and chatted about the past, appearing to be having a very pleasant conversation.

A short while later, Gao Zhichen arrived gracefully with his "female companion".

He was also dressed in a business suit tonight, a rare occurrence, as he entered as the project director of the 5G Smart City.

This was the first time Liu Sisi had seen him dressed so meticulously and formally. Without his black-rimmed glasses, Gao Zhichen exuded a more composed, reserved, and refined air.

"Sisi, it's been a long time." However, Zhou Zhichen's female companion was Guo Zhenzhen, which surprised Liu Sisi.

She couldn't help but scrutinize the two of them. Guo Zhenzhen was slightly taller than her. Her face was slightly round, and she had a very sweet appearance. She had large, bright, dark eyes, and a smile that often played at the corners of her mouth. She was also quite quiet and reserved, with the personality of an introverted young girl.

She looked to be a year or two younger than me, wearing a pink princess dress, both gorgeous and innocent.

In our daily interactions, I only found her to be quite meticulous in her work. She's not talkative, with a gentle and refined demeanor. But seeing them together today, the two of them actually look quite well-matched.

"Zhenzhen, hello." Liu Sisi smiled, a meaningful smile on her face. "You two...?"

Guo Zhenzhen's cheeks flushed slightly. She glanced sideways at the man beside her, smiling without saying a word. Zhou Zhichen, on the other hand, readily admitted, "My girlfriend. We just started dating."

"Oh, that's great! Congratulations!" Liu Sisi couldn't quite describe her feelings at that moment, but her smile was the most genuine. Perhaps it was a sense of relief, or perhaps a feeling of contentment.

She was happy that Zhou Zhichen had also found love, and sincerely wished him and Guo Zhenzhen a happy ending.

"Thank you," they both said in unison.

Look, they even have similar personalities; they're both shy and reserved.

Liu Sisi chuckled to herself, leaned closer, and whispered in Guo Zhenzhen's ear, "Zhenzhen, this is the first time I've seen him dress up so deliberately. It seems he really values ​​his performance in front of you."

Then he stepped back, glanced at Zhou Zhichen, and felt an indescribable joy in his heart.

Her eyebrows curved into a smile, and then she burst into laughter, "Giggle, giggle~".

Her eyes narrowed, curving into a crescent moon. Her giggles were like a gentle stream, clear and melodious.

Even Guo Zhenzhen, who was standing next to him, was infected by it. Zhou Zhichen was left scratching his head in deep thought, but he was too embarrassed to delve into the matter.

"Sisi~." A deep, resonant voice sounded behind Liu Sisi, abruptly stopping their laughter.

She turned her head and saw Li Songze walking slowly towards her, one hand in his trouser pocket. Meeting his dark, deep eyes, she had the illusion of being surrounded by a vast ocean, unfathomable.

"Li... Mr. Li." I quickly racked my brains for a way to address him.

Brother Li? General Manager Li? In the end, I'll use the latter, since we're at a business dinner now.

"Hello, Mr. Li."

"Hello, President."

"Mm." Li Songze nodded to Zhou Zhichen and Guo Zhenzhen, his formulaic monotone response remaining unchanged.

No working person likes hanging out with their boss. Especially someone like Li Songze, who is aloof and meticulous.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Guo Zhenzhen pulled Zhou Zhichen away and slipped away. Liu Sisi was a little stunned. Looking back, she realized that even Lei Ke had disappeared without her noticing.

The situation was a bit awkward because it seemed like there wasn't much to talk about with him.

Business? She's a free agent now, so there doesn't seem to be anything she could be involved in. Private matters are even less likely.

They looked at each other, but he didn't say anything, and seemed to have no intention of saying anything either.

His lips curled slightly, his eyes fixed on her face. A soft light gradually appeared in his dark eyes, but his face remained calm, seemingly devoid of emotion.

Liu Sisi's heart skipped a beat when he stared at her like that. Feeling a little uncomfortable, she frowned slightly and couldn't help but want to slip away.

She tugged at the corners of her lips, raised her hand as if to touch her face, then her head, and half-jokingly asked, "You..., is there something dirty on my face? Or is my hair messy?"

Li Songze raised an eyebrow, a rare faint smile appearing on his handsome face, his tone tinged with a touch of roguish charm. "We meet again."

"???" Liu Sisi was taken aback. She had seen his coldness, and she had also seen his gentleness.

It's unbelievable that he would joke and tease girls like that. And with that roguish air about him? The change is too drastic; it's quite surprising.

What's happening here?

A thought flashed through her mind, and she smiled politely. "Yes, we meet again. The 5G cooperation has finally been signed and finalized."

Let's get back to business. This is a proper approach, though a bit formulaic, at least it won't be impolite.

Li Songze's already cold and aloof appearance was softened by his slightly upturned thin lips. His deep, dark eyes seemed to bewitch people with a half-smile.

What is he doing?

Liu Sisi felt a tingling sensation on her scalp and instinctively became alert. She silently curved her lips into a smile, her bright, dark eyes shifting away as if to avert her gaze.

"You don't have a male companion tonight?" Li Songze felt that asking this question was a bit abrupt.

But after observing her for a while, he noticed that she wasn't dressed up in any fancy way, and her long, straight black hair was simply tied up.

She wore light, elegant makeup and a simple white, one-shoulder dress. The dress was well-tailored, fitted yet not clingy. The length, ending past her knees, gave her a graceful and composed air.

Instead of staying by Lin Xuedong's side, he lingered among Lin's employees.

Liu Sisi turned around in surprise, her deep, pool-like eyes shimmering with tiny lights. For a moment, she couldn't fathom his meaning.

After a long pause, she blinked and smiled. "His date tonight is Zeng Ziyan."

The implication was that she came alone.

"Oh." Li Songze breathed a soft sigh of relief, feeling a sense of inexplicable comfort.

He hadn't seen her for over a week. His sharp eyes searched for her among the guests, amidst the elegant attire and swaying hair. He keenly spotted her ordinary figure, and his heart couldn't help but feel joyful and relaxed.

"Are you with Miss Chen?" She was just trying to start a conversation, so she didn't mean to ask.

In a business collaboration, Lin Xuedong and Zeng Ziyan teamed up to promote the project. Naturally, from a business perspective, he should also be with Chen Meiyuan.

"Just like you, I'm all alone." His voice was deep and resonant, soothing and captivating to listen to.

"Oh." And then? And then nothing.

Neither of them were particularly talkative, and they remained silent for a while, as if they were both used to this silence.

Perhaps because of the wedding ceremony, Liu Sisi had accepted the fact that she was married to Lin Xuedong. Therefore, she subconsciously wanted to keep her distance from other men.

Therefore, she wouldn't initiate a conversation, let alone with this enigmatic man.

"Um, Mr. Li, don't you need to attend some social engagements?" Liu Sisi couldn't hold back any longer and asked shyly.

Shui Mou glanced around; the merchants were all chatting and drinking in small groups. She thought to herself, "What's Li Songze up to? Is he going to keep quiet here?"

Li Songze followed her gaze and casually glanced at the crowd. A slight smile played on his lips, as if he could always remain calm and indifferent to everything.

He withdrew his gaze, narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Liu Sisi again, and spoke calmly, "I came to see you."

Liu Sisi paused for a moment, remembering his invitation for her to do remote work.

But now, she wants to focus on getting her health back in order to have a child with Lin Xuedong. As for work... well, let's just forget about it.

But how should she politely decline? After hesitating for a moment, she was about to speak.

"Come to my office tomorrow to talk." Li Songze pursed his lips, his indifferent tone carrying a subtle but undeniable force, giving her no chance to evade the question.

Her clear eyes stared blankly at him, her gaze trembling slightly. She was a little at a loss; she hadn't even become his employee yet, and she already felt immense pressure.

If not, he plays a crucial role in Lin Xuedong's 5G project. She thought she would refuse without hesitation.

Now, he's repeatedly extending invitations to me, which shows how much he values ​​the project.

Since I promised to consider it, I'll go and see for now, and only refuse if it really doesn't work out.

Thinking of this, Liu Sisi composed herself. Finally, she nodded and said, "Okay, I'll come see you tomorrow."

"Hmm." Li Songze nodded, the joy in his eyes disappearing the moment he lowered them.
