Su Chenxi smiled and said, "Auntie, I'm sorry, I have some personal grudges with her, I didn't mean to offend you."

"Mom, we shouldn't stoop to her level," Xia Xiaomeng advised, linking arms with her mother-in-law.

Zhu Ying gave Su Chenxi a warning look, "This foundation has been under my management for over ten years. Don't mess it up, because it will eventually come back to me."

"Su Chenxi, did you hear that? Grandma is only temporarily entrusting the business to you. It will still be my mother's business in the future," Xia Xiaomeng reminded her.

Su Chenxi smiled and said politely, "Auntie, don't worry. Since Grandma has entrusted it to me, I will definitely do my best to manage it. As for who will be given the foundation in the future, you should ask Grandma."

Zhu Ying's cold face grew even uglier. "It's best if you understand. In short, the Shen family doesn't support idlers or useless people. You'd better prove you have value. Xiaomeng, let's go."

Xia Xiaomeng glared at Su Chenxi resentfully before leaving with her mother-in-law.

Shen Yanchuan's rise to power seemed to have turned what she had said to Su Chenxi into a joke.

She used to say she wanted to put Su Chenxi down, but now her status is lower than Su Chenxi's.

As soon as Su Chenxi returned to her office, Mo Mi handed her a document and said, "Second Young Madam, there is something that requires your attention."

After speaking, Momi opened the file, which contained pictures of several jadeite gift sets.

"There are six pieces of jade jewelry here, which were lent out through the First Madam. Now that they have exceeded the return deadline, we must get them back."

Su Chenxi looked at these sets of top-grade icy green jadeite, each piece worth over ten million, and absolutely could not be lost.

Do you know who they lent them to?

"Mrs. Chen from the Chen family borrowed one set, the eldest daughter-in-law from the Gu family borrowed one set, and the eldest young mistress has another set. We have an exhibition going on soon, so we have an excuse to urge them to return it."

"Okay, then you should send someone to politely urge them to return it and see if they are willing to do so."

"clear."

At 11 a.m., Su Chenxi stretched and looked at the Shen Group across the street under the sunlight. It was magnificent and towering into the clouds. She couldn't help but be lost in thought for a while.

This is the business that Shen Yanchuan painstakingly reclaimed after ten years of hard work; one has to admire his strength.

Su Chenxi decided to go down to the museum. She had only glanced at it yesterday and hadn't had a chance to properly appreciate the beautiful jewelry.

Su Chenxi went downstairs and arrived at the jade shop. As soon as she entered, a waiter came up to her and said, "Second Young Madam, there is a customer inside who is making some selections."

Su Chenxi nodded, but also stepped into the museum. The entire museum was dimly lit, but the jade in the glass cases was shrouded in a small world, so beautiful that it was breathtaking.

Su Chenxi was bending down to examine a huge, bright green cabochon diamond ring when suddenly a male voice sounded behind her, "Chenxi."

Su Chenxi turned around in surprise and was unexpectedly found Gu Heting standing behind her. Her heart fluttered, and she greeted him with a smile, "Young Master Gu, it's you!"

"Second Young Madam, Young Master Gu said he wants to choose a piece of jewelry for Old Madam Gu's birthday," said the waiter beside him.

Gu Heting said to the waiter, "You can go ahead and get busy! I'd like to look around a bit."

"Yes, Mr. Gu." The waiter tactfully left.

Seeing that the waiter had been chased away, Su Chenxi wondered if she, as the boss, should take on the responsibility of introducing the waiter.

"I'm so sorry, I've just taken over this job and I don't know much about jade yet. How about we ask one of our staff to help you?"

Gu Heting's gaze fell on the jewelry set she had just been admiring, and he asked, "This set is very beautiful, I'll give you this set!"

Su Chenxi turned around in surprise and glanced at the prices marked on the side: the necklace was worth 80 million, the cabochon diamond ring was worth 20 million, and the emerald green bracelet was worth 30 million, for a total value of 130 million.

“Young Master Gu, I’m just browsing. You can choose jewelry based on your grandmother’s preferences.” Su Chenxi couldn’t help but feel sorry for him spending money.

Gu Heting understood, and couldn't help but smile and ask, "You're the boss's wife, do you still care about your customers' wallets?"

Su Chenxi chuckled awkwardly, "I...I hope you'll spend wisely."

"Don't worry, I can afford it." Gu Heting smiled lazily.

"Would you like me to take you to see some other jewelry?" Su Chenxi asked.

Gu Heting glanced at his watch. "It's time for dinner. Let's have a meal together!"

After saying that, Gu Heting summoned a waiter and selected the jewelry set. The waiter was amazed. The second young mistress was too amazing. She sold jewelry worth 130 million in just a few minutes.

Seeing that he had made the purchase, Su Chenxi felt guilty, as if Gu Heting had done the deal for her sake.

“Okay, I’ll treat you to dinner,” Su Chenxi said with a smile.

Having made a deal worth 130 million, I must treat him to a meal.

Gu Heting swiped his card, and the jewelry would be delivered to the birthday banquet that evening. Gu Heting and Su Chenxi walked out of the lobby together.

"Have you driven yet?" Gu Heting asked her.

"No, I'll call a driver down now." Su Chenxi smiled awkwardly.

"I've driven. Get in my car." Gu Heting took out his car keys and pressed the button for a silver sports car.

Su Chenxi nodded, opened the door, and got into his car. She didn't notice that a camera was already pointed at the two of them from a black minivan next to them.

This is big news! The second young mistress of the Shen family and the heir of the Gu family are having a secret date!

The restaurant that Gu Heting introduced was a very private place, but the paparazzi, in order to take photos of the two, ran across the street from the restaurant, set up a long lens, and started snapping photos of the two in front of the window.

Gu Heting clasped his hands together, resting his chin on the back of his hands, and looked at the girl opposite him with a warm smile. Su Chenxi propped her cheeks up and smiled charmingly. It was obviously a very ambiguous and pleasant lunch date.

"I heard your husband took over the Shen Group. He's really amazing," Gu Heting said sincerely.

"Yes, I also think he's very impressive."

"Is your clothing company still open?" Gu Heting inquired.

"It's gone. I shut it down." Su Chenxi complained helplessly.

"Oh! Tell me, how did it go bankrupt?" Gu Heting asked with interest.

Therefore, throughout the entire meal, Su Chenxi used her failed business venture as a topic of conversation.

The paparazzi across the street captured many of her expressions, with her static expressions showing a hint of coquettishness. This, combined with Gu Heting's deep and focused gaze, made them look like a couple.

When Su Chenxi went to pay the bill after the meal, she discovered that Gu Heting had secretly paid it.

"I'm making money off you, and now I'm also making money off your lunch. How am I supposed to feel good about that?"

Gu Heting smiled and stepped into the elevator first, saying, "You can invite me another time!"

Su Chenxi followed him into the elevator and insisted, "This meal has to be on me. I'll transfer the money to you."

“How can our relationship be measured by a single meal?” Gu Heting suddenly said.

Su Chenxi's heart skipped a beat; they could only be friends for the rest of their lives.

The paparazzi immediately called their companions to capture images of them getting off the elevator.

Gu Heting came out first, followed by Su Chenxi. At the door, there was a step, and Su Chenxi missed it.

"Ah!" she gasped softly. Gu Heting, who was in front of her, immediately turned around, quickly reached out and put his arm around her waist to steady her.

Su Chenxi was startled and quickly steadied herself with his support. She took a step back and said, "Thank you."

"Watch where you're going," Gu Heting reminded her.

Su Chenxi gathered her long hair from her forehead. In the afternoon sunlight, her velvety skin and rosy cheeks made Gu Heting stare in a daze for a few seconds.

This scene made the paparazzi truly feel the ambiguity between the two. Good heavens! It turns out that the second young mistress of the Shen family and the eldest young master of the Gu family really have feelings for each other!
