When Shi Xi heard that, she felt like he was hearing things.
“Who are you talking about? Why?” Shi Xi felt like he wasn’t very clear-headed, so she asked again.
Tao Yuxuan said, “Leng Qiankun was brought into the police station for setting off fireworks.”
Shi Xi was silent.
It was really a crime that was down to earth.
The only thing that could be compared to it was burning wheat straw.
“Should we go and get him out?” Shi Xi asked.
“No need. He will be out after paying a fine.” Tao Yuxuan was also very helpless. “But he will be staying in the police station for a while. I don’t think he will come today.”
Shi Xi: ...That would be great.
“Shall we go and see him tomorrow?” Tao Yuxuan asked. “He just came back from abroad and he is already in the police station. It’s really not going well.”
“It’s alright. There will be more days when things don’t go well in the future,” Shi Xi comforted her.
Tao Yuxuan asked, “Are you going to see Leng Qiankun tomorrow?”
Shi Xi said helplessly, “Go.”
......
After all, he was only in the police station because he wanted to set off fireworks for her.
She hoped that he would learn his lesson and be smarter the next time he did something.
She had never seen any CEO being brought to the police station for setting off fireworks before!
At this moment, Shi Xi saw Sheng Yan.
Alright, she had never seen the bald CEO either.
Other than Sheng Yan’s father.
“Where’s Big Brother Shi?” Tao Yuxuan looked around. “The banquet is about to end. Isn’t he going to send people off?”
The birthday banquet was nearing its end and some people were already preparing to leave.
As the host and the eldest son of the Shi family, Shi Xu was supposed to send them off.
Even though he didn’t see them off, no one said anything.
“He seems to be talking to Xie Yunzhou about something.” Shi Xi looked in the direction where the two had just left and realized that they had already disappeared.
“Forget it then. He probably wants to talk about something.” Tao Yuxuan said angrily, “That disappointing Leng Qiankun isn’t around when he’s needed!”
“It’s alright. My parents are here.” Shi Xi smiled faintly. “You’re here too. Send them off with me.”
Although she said that she was sending the guests off, they were actually just exchanging a few words at the door.

In the study room.
Shi Xu looked at Xie Yunzhou who was sitting opposite him. The smile on his face was gentle, but there was a strong sense of wariness. “President Xie’s conditions are too generous. What do you want the Shi family to pay?”
“Shi Xi,” the person across the desk said without hesitation.
“I won’t use Xi Xi as a marriage alliance.” The smile on Shi Xu’s face faded, and he added, “I don’t care what kind of conditions you offer.”
Xie Yunzhou leaned against the back of his chair and looked up at Shi Xu.
The two looked at each other and didn’t give in at all.
“You won’t use Xi Xi’s marriage?” Xie Yunzhou chuckled. “Then why would Xi Xi be engaged to Sheng Yan?”
“Naturally, it’s because Xi Xi likes Sheng Yan.” Shi Xu was a little irritated. “President Xie, if you have nothing else to do, please leave.”
He was already chasing them away.
Xie Yunzhou raised his eyes slightly and said, “Let’s continue the cooperation and change the conditions.”
Shi Xu looked at him.
Xie Yunzhou said, “Cancel the engagement between Sheng Yan and Shi Xi.”
Shi Xu fell silent and thought about whether he could do this deal.
Xi Xi liked Sheng Yan very much, and the engagement party had been fully prepared.
If it was canceled now...
“Postpone the engagement party for two years.” Shi Xu made the final concession. He said, “In these two years, President Xie can use his own abilities to pursue Xi Xi. But in two years, if Xi Xi still wants to marry Sheng Yan, I will respect Xi Xi’s decision.”
Xie Yunzhou: “Sure.”
Two years was enough time for him to pursue Shi Xi.
Shi Xu let out a breath.
Using two years of Xi Xi being single in exchange for the benefits of the Shi family.
It was worth it.
