A dowry of one billion, and I'll marry him!

Zhan Jinglin quickly put down the snacks, got up and walked to his desk, and said into the intercom, "Xiao Chu, come in for a moment."

He had just put down the phone when there was a knock on the office door. Xiao Chu peeked in from outside, her face beaming. When she saw Shi Yanxia, ​​her mood improved even more.

"President Zhan, you wanted to see me?" Xiao Chu asked with a smile.

Zhan Jinglin stepped forward, pointed to the pastries on the coffee table, and asked, "Where did you buy these pastries?"

"Is there something wrong with the snacks?" Xiao Chu asked, a little scared.

She bought this specifically for Shi Yanxia. If there was something wrong with the item, wouldn't it leave a bad impression on Shi Yanxia? She didn't want to think about it.

"The snacks are fine, but the taste is very unique, I really like them, and I'm thinking of buying some more to take home for dinner later," Shi Yanxia quickly said to smooth things over.

The secretary was delighted to hear this.

“Of course, this place isn’t famous for its pastries,” she said.

He picked up a pen and paper from the side and scribbled on them, saying, "The location is a bit hard to find. It's on the left side of this intersection, in a small alley. Go in and it's the last shop."

"There's no signboard at the store, just a picture. You can knock and go in to buy things. I only discovered it was a pastry shop when I was in college and passed by with my classmates," she said with a smile.

The spot she marked caused Shi Yanxia's heart to sink.

Zhan Jinglin's hands unconsciously clenched into fists, and the two exchanged a knowing glance.

"Such delicious snacks, why isn't there a shop name? And why isn't it being promoted?" Shi Yanxia asked tentatively.

The secretary smiled and said, "It's an old lady's place inside. I guess she's too old to bother with all the hassle, and she doesn't want to reveal the secret recipe for the pastries to anyone else, so she's just waiting for the right person."

"She once said that the pastries are sold to those who are destined to receive them, and that if you are destined to be able to eat them, you will be able to do so."

"She believes in fate, so she cooks for those who are destined to be with her," the secretary said.

That makes sense.

"Thank you, I'll come over later," Shi Yanxia said.

The secretary nodded slightly, turned to leave, but then seemed to remember something and quickly turned back.

"Young Madam, how about I accompany you? This old lady seems to have a rather bad temper," the secretary said.

She was worried that if Shi Yanxia wasn't the right person and was kicked out, wouldn't that be a big problem?

“It’s alright. If she has a bad temper and happens to dislike me and refuses to sell to me, then I guess we’re not meant to be, and it’s fine if I don’t eat it. But if I’m destined to be hers, maybe I can get her to make custom orders in the future,” Shi Yanxia said.

The secretary nodded quickly, saying, "Yes, yes, young mistress, you are definitely our destined one."

"Go to work." Zhan Jinglin interrupted their conversation.

The secretary didn't dare linger and quickly turned to leave.

The moment the door closed, Zhan Jinglin quickly sat down. He and Shi Yanxia looked at each other, staring intently at the location on the map drawn by the secretary.

"Isn't this the place where your father had his car accident? The accident site is only a hundred meters away from this pastry shop," Shi Yanxia said, somewhat incredulously.

Is there really such a coincidence in the world? This is too much of a coincidence.

Besides, she doesn't believe in coincidences; if they do, then perhaps someone did it on purpose.

"The pastries are from the same spot where my father had his car accident, and the aroma is exactly the same as it was before the accident. Such exquisite pastries, yet there's no signboard in the shop; it's just waiting for the right person," Zhan Jinglin murmured.

No matter how you look at it, there's something strange about it.

“Let’s go take a look,” Shi Yanxia said.

Now she's not only interested in the snacks, she's even interested in the old lady.

An old woman makes pastries by herself. Could she possibly know the old man in the mountain village?

"Mm," Zhan Jinglin quickly replied.

As the two stood up, Gu Qing walked in from outside, carrying some documents. Seeing that they were about to leave, he quickly adjusted his black-rimmed glasses and said, "President Zhan, are you going out?"

"You handle the rest. I have important business to attend to tonight. If you don't have anything else to do, postpone everything else," Zhan Jinglin instructed.

Upon hearing this, Gu Qing quickly nodded and said, "Okay, I'll postpone the trip."

"Okay," Zhan Jinglin replied.

Shi Yanxia carried her canvas bag and walked out, while Zhan Jinglin followed behind her with his suit jacket. The two walked out one after the other.

Inside the secretary's office outside, everyone saw that Shi Yanxia was about to leave and immediately stood up, saying in unison, "Take care, young mistress."

"?" Zhan Jinglin remained silent.

Seeing everyone's respectful actions and watching Shi Yanxia's departing figure, those who didn't know the situation would think that Shi Yanxia was their boss, and that even though they were respectful to them, they didn't receive the same treatment as Shi Yanxia.

“They all like you very much,” Zhan Jinglin said after following her into the elevator.

Shi Yanxia smiled and said, "What's wrong, are you jealous?"

"Otherwise what?" Zhan Jinglin didn't try to argue, but looked at her intently and said, "Mrs. Zhan's charm is too great. Now I not only have to guard against men, but also against women. The pressure is immense."

"Haha." Shi Yanxia laughed out loud.

She felt that Zhan Jinglin was exaggerating. In fact, friendships between women are much simpler than those between men.

"You don't understand the bond between us women," Shi Yanxia said irritably.

Looking at her smiling face and rosy cheeks, Zhan Jinglin thought of a certain figure and asked, "What are Zhang Feng's feelings for you?"

"Zhang, Zhang Feng?" Shi Yanxia was dumbfounded.

She hadn't expected Zhan Jinglin to ask that question, and she had never thought about it before.

“He would risk his life for you, and even give you everything, even if you were to borrow his luck, he wouldn’t mind,” Zhan Jinglin said.

Shi Yanxia remained silent.

"He has a pure heart, and I saved him. We were meant to have some connection. Don't think about things in a weird way," Shi Yanxia said frankly.

Zhan Jinglin wasn't a petty person, otherwise he would have been wary of Zhang Feng from the start.

“He is indeed a very pure person.” Zhan Jinglin nodded slightly.

He seems to be completely untainted by anything else, and he's very single-minded, which may be related to his upbringing abroad.

As the two were talking, the elevator quickly arrived at the first floor. Shi Yanxia walked out, and the security guard handed the car keys to Zhan Jinglin, saying, "Mr. Zhan, the car is parked at the entrance."

"Mm," Zhan Jinglin replied.

He took the car keys and saw Shi Yanxia walk out, while the receptionist quickly stepped forward.

"Madam, my boyfriend really cheated on me! He went to a hotel with my best friend in the middle of the night last night. I'm so angry! I really want to get revenge on him!" The receptionist was furious.

She was so angry that she couldn't come to her senses for a long time.

She even asked someone to find her boyfriend a job, and now that he's doing well, he wants to dump her.

“No need for revenge, his retribution will come soon.” Shi Yanxia shook her head.
