She went to the wrong table on a blind date and ended up getting married to a billionaire CEO.

Haize stood at the doorway, quietly watching the heartwarming scene unfold before him.

The soft light illuminated Shen Qingge's focused profile as her slender fingers gently glided across her daughter's delicate skin, her movements tender and meticulous.

Little Hai Ruoxi let out cheerful babbling sounds, her little feet occasionally kicking gently, as if expressing her comfort and contentment.

A slight smile unconsciously appeared on Haize's lips.

He entered the room silently, and only then did Shen Qingge notice his presence. She looked up and smiled slightly, "You're back?"

"Mmm." Haize nodded, walked to the crib, bent down and kissed his daughter's forehead. "Was I a good girl today?"

“She’s been very good,” Shen Qingge replied, her hands still moving. “She just had a bath and is doing a baby massage now. The doctor said it’s very beneficial for the baby’s neurological development and sleep quality.”

Heize gazed at his daughter's rosy cheeks, a rare tenderness in his eyes: "She seems to like it."

"Yes, she's always very quiet when I give her massages, and she sleeps even better afterwards."

As Shen Qingge spoke, she gently massaged her daughter's little feet.

Haize nodded slightly and stood up: "I'm going to take a shower, I'll be right back for dinner."

“Okay, Auntie just made your favorite dishes.” Shen Qingge said with a smile, her voice gentle and kind.

After Haize left, Shen Qingge breathed a sigh of relief, silently feeling gratified that her plan had gone smoothly.

The purpose of creating such a warm and cozy scene was to soften Haize's attitude and pave the way for their conversation that evening.

At dinner time, the dishes that Auntie had carefully prepared emitted an enticing aroma—

The pickled fish is fresh and appetizing, the braised pork ribs are tender and delicious, the steamed crab is especially tender and flavorful, and there is also a refreshing vegetable dish, making for a perfect combination.

Haize changed into comfortable loungewear, his hair still slightly damp.

He looked at the dishes on the table, a hint of satisfaction flashing in his eyes: "These are all my favorites."

"I know you worked hard today, so I specially asked the housekeeper to make this." Shen Qingge smiled as she served him a bowl of rice, then picked up a piece of crab meat for him. "Try it, this crab is especially plump."

Haize took the chopsticks and slowly savored the food.

The atmosphere at the dinner table was relaxed and warm. Shen Qingge started the conversation at the right time: "By the way, I had a meeting at Yu Linglong today."

"Any new developments?" Haize asked, a hint of interest in his eyes.

“We’ve basically reached a consensus on the product design and positioning,” Shen Qingge said, then revealed her dilemma: “My brother wants me to incorporate this series into Shen’s Jewelry’s product line, but I prefer to operate it independently.”

She paused for a moment, observing Haize's reaction. Seeing that he did not show any displeasure, she continued, "Operating alone does indeed put a lot of financial pressure on us."

You mentioned earlier that you could provide some financial support. After dinner, could we discuss this in more detail and see how feasible it is?

Haize put down his water glass, a slight smile playing on his lips. "Okay, after dinner, let's discuss the details in the study."

After dinner, Shen Qingge settled Hai Ruoxi in and followed Hai Ze into the study.

Inside the study, a large solid wood desk, a wall-to-wall bookcase, and an elegant desk lamp cast a warm glow.

Haize sat in the leather swivel chair behind the desk and gestured for Shen Qingge to sit opposite him.

"Tell me your thoughts," he said, getting straight to the point.

Shen Qingge took a deep breath and organized her thoughts: "I want to create the 'Shen Qingge Series,' positioned as high-end accessible luxury jewelry, focusing on the combination of Eastern aesthetics and modern design, targeting urban women aged 25 to 35."

She opened her notebook and showed Haize several design sketches:

"These are some designs I've recently come up with. They're simple yet distinctive in style, more competitively priced than big brands, but still offer considerable profit margins."

Haize looked at the design drawings and nodded: "They're distinctive and meet current market demands. So, how much start-up capital do you need?"

"A conservative estimate would be fifty million," Shen Qingge answered truthfully, "including costs for material procurement, sample production, and initial promotion."

Haize pondered for a moment, then suddenly said, "I have a suggestion."

He stood up and walked to the window, his back to Shen Qingge, his voice calm: "You will register a new company in your own name to operate the 'Shen Qingge Series.' I will invest 100 million yuan, taking a 30% stake, while you will contribute your technology, taking a 70% stake."

Shen Qingge's eyes widened in surprise, momentarily stunned: "One hundred million?"

Haize turned around with a smile: "Yes, one hundred million. You have 100% autonomy over the operation of the company and products, and we share the profits and losses."

The Yu Linglong platform can serve as a partner, with priority access to sales channels.

Shen Qingge could hardly believe her ears.

The investment of 100 million yuan far exceeded her expectations.

Moreover, Haize only needs 30% of the shares, but he himself has 70% controlling rights and complete operational autonomy.

These conditions were far too generous, almost like giving her money.

If they make money, she shares most of the profits; if they lose money, Haize has to cover it all, which means he's bailing out his own losses.

"Why?" Shen Qingge couldn't help but ask, "These conditions are too unfair to you."

Haize walked back to his desk, sat down, and said with a calm and profound look in his eyes: "First, I believe in your abilities and market acumen; second, I hope you can truly find your own value and place; finally,"

He paused, then added, "A wife with ambition and a sense of accomplishment is more attractive than a housewife who does nothing all day, isn't she?"

Shen Qingge lowered her head, concealing the complex emotions in her eyes.

Perhaps in Haize's eyes, 100 million yuan is just a small sum of money, completely worth spending to satisfy his desire for control and conquest.

But in any case, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Shen Qingge.

"So, what are your conditions?" Shen Qingge asked cautiously.

Haize smiled slightly: "There are no special conditions. You are my woman, of course I will support you."

Shen Qingge nodded: "Then, I accept this proposal. When can we begin preparations?"

“I’ll arrange for someone to meet with you tomorrow to help you complete the company registration, draft the necessary legal documents, and prepare the funds,” Haize replied.

“Okay,” Shen Qingge nodded, “Thank you for your support.”

Shen Qingge tried her best to keep a straight face, secretly glad that her recent thinking was correct, and that she was trying to play the role of a virtuous wife and loving mother to bring herself the opportunity.

As Hai Ze watched Shen Qingge walk away, his face darkened.

He was very satisfied with Shen Qingge's performance during this period.

This once stubborn and unruly woman now seems to have truly been tamed by herself.

In particular, her thoughtful care for Hai Ruoxi gave Haize a strong sense of satisfaction.

It doesn't matter whether this woman has me in her heart or not; what matters is that she obediently stays by my side.

And those who betrayed her will be punished; that's enough.
