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

Su Maiqi pretended not to see Shen Qingge's expression and continued, "No matter what you sell, the core is actually the customer's needs, and things that meet customer needs can be created."

Just like why diamonds are a symbol of love, it all started with the famous quote from diamond mining giant De Beers: "A diamond is forever," which has resonated deeply with people.

The hardness, clarity, and durability of diamonds are qualities that people have identified to match the qualities of love; they are essentially concepts that have been created.

The higher the market, the more important the concept becomes, because people care more about their emotional needs than just the preservation of intrinsic value; products that resonate with their hearts and address their specific needs are what make customers willing to spend money.

"The idea is good, but it's unrealistic. It's easy to talk about it on paper, but it's not necessarily feasible in practice..." Shen Qingge finally couldn't help but start complaining.

Shen Qingshuo, who was sitting next to her, immediately tugged at her clothes, and Shen Qingge stopped immediately.

They all knew that Mr. Mario encouraged brainstorming and hated interrupting or judging others.

Sure enough, Mr. Mario also spoke up: "It's good that young people have ideas. But to bring those ideas to fruition, you need to explore them step by step. Having ideas first opens up more possibilities."

Gu Tingyu's eyes gleamed as he looked at Su Maiqi. All talk and no action? Su Maiqi had already pushed her ideas forward, from design to marketing!

The design and marketing direction of Chenxing's new products are simply the extension and implementation of the concept.

At that moment, Gu Tingyu felt a voice in his heart saying, "We can definitely win this battle. Su Maiqi can do it."

Of course, he wouldn't say it out loud. Let Shen Qingge keep acting up for a while, and then reality will slap her in the face, making the slap even more resounding.

Once the new product launch plan is successful, Su Maiqi's identity as the project designer and leader will definitely be revealed in the industry.

That would be a validation of the concept that Su Maiqi was talking about today.

In this way, the image of Shen Qingge and Su Maqi in the hearts of Mario and his wife can be roughly defined.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile, and his gaze towards Su Maiqi softened even more.

Shen Qingge noticed the way Gu Tingyu looked at Su Maiqi and felt completely awful.

My aunt had been saying that Gu Tingyu and Su Maiqi might be in a fake marriage, and that Gu Tingyu was probably just using someone as a shield to fool himself.

She also said that Gu Tingyu had feelings for Shen Qingge, but refused the marriage because of a misunderstanding with Shen Wanjun and consideration for family relationships.

But at this moment, the look in Gu Tingyu's eyes when he looked at Su Maiqi contained admiration, pride, and an overwhelming tenderness.

Shen Qingge felt she could no longer convince herself. Her heart ached so much she could hardly breathe. She even considered giving up.

But she couldn't give up. Marrying the man she had loved since childhood was her lifelong dream.

She remembers when she was little, she lived at her aunt's house, and a few of her friends would ride their bikes to play in the countryside.

While the children were chasing and playing by the lake, Shen Qingge accidentally lost her footing and slipped down the slope beside the lake. The lake water below the slope wasn't deep, but slipping down could still cause injury.

She was terrified and completely lost when Gu Tingyu grabbed her arm and pulled her back forcefully.

Because of the excessive force, Gu Tingyu lost his balance and fell to the ground. Shen Qingge also fell on top of him.

Later, her friends joked that Gu Tingyu had saved the damsel in distress, and Shen Qingge blushed so much that she ran away without even saying thank you.

Looking back, I realize that the seeds of those budding feelings had already been sown at that moment.

Gu Tianyu enjoys listening to stories. He often plays stories for him when he exercises or relaxes at home.

Shen Qingge listened to many stories from her father.

The hero saves the damsel in distress, and the damsel in distress offers herself in return—that's a common trope. That's why Shen Qingge blushed at that moment. Actually, it was because she had fallen for him and was afraid of being discovered.

Over the years, the seed planted back then has slowly sprouted and grown into a towering tree with intertwined roots, deeply rooted in her heart.

If we were to uproot this tree now, it would be like killing its heart as well. What kind of pain would that be? Could anyone possibly live with it?

No, I can't give up.

Brother Tingyu has been deceived by that woman! I can't admit defeat and give up like this.

Like today, Su Maiqi clearly speaks Spanish, but she didn't say a word, just watched me perform, and then waited for the right moment to embarrass me. What a scheming woman she is.

This scheming woman must have used her tricks on Tingyu quite a bit; he was just temporarily fooled. If I give in, how unlucky would it be for Tingyu to fall into the hands of such a manipulative woman?

This woman comes from a humble background; she's probably only after Gu Tingyu's money. There's no such thing as true love in her.

I am the one who loves Gu Tingyu the most in this world, and only I can give him happiness.

No, I can't give up. As she thought about it, she calmed down a little.

The food arrived quickly. Shen Qingge ordered steak, foie gras, and caviar for everyone...

This caviar was specially arranged for Su Maiqi; a country girl like her would definitely not know how to eat it.

She wanted to see her embarrassed and flustered.

Su Maqi had indeed never eaten caviar before, but this little difficulty was not enough to make her panic.

The waiter brought the food, with caviar placed on a plate of ice, a small portion in front of each person; the waiter introduced the product and its quality, reminding everyone to eat it as soon as possible to preserve the food's freshness.

Su Maiqi didn't move. She did need to observe how the others ate first, and she didn't want to embarrass Gu Tingyu in this situation.

But her face remained calm, without a trace of embarrassment or panic. What was there to panic about? It was just caviar; with so many people around, what difference did it make who took the first bite?

She doesn't feel inferior because she doesn't eat caviar.

Surprisingly, the next second, Gu Tingyu, who was sitting next to her, picked up a small piece of bread, dipped it lightly in caviar, and handed it to Su Maiqi: "I really miss the feeling of caviar bursting in my mouth. Come and experience it for me right away."

Seeing the curious looks on everyone's faces, Gu Tingyu explained, "I'm allergic to caviar. The first time I ate it, I loved the popping sensation so much that I accidentally ate too much and ended up in the hospital."

Shen Qingge felt as if she had been struck by lightning. Today was probably an unlucky day for her; she should say less, do less, and make fewer mistakes. She lowered her head and silently ate her food.

Shen Qingshuo then spoke up, saying, "The moment the caviar bursts is indeed very impactful. Our company also has a necklace designed with that inspiration. Although the sales figures are just average, the design of the product is still very exquisite. After dinner, everyone can visit Shen's."
