't answered for a long time, and he was annoyed.Does this question really need so long to think aboutCould it be that Xiao Heng, that bastard, gave such a great kiss That she's still savoring it for...The young master of the Xiao family has been very diligent recently, which is a consensus in the business circle.

This evening, there was a business banquet. The young master of the Xiao family attended, and as such, many famous ladies and wealthy daughters dressed up especially for the occasion.

As the lights of dusk began to illuminate the scene, the swimming pool, the villa, and the elegantly dressed men and women – this place was teeming with S City's elite.

However, even in this circle of top-tier individuals, there is still a hierarchical distribution.

"Mr. Xiao has been especially active lately, so diligent. Could it be that Mr. Xiao has been inspired by a certain beauty" A man in his thirties, with an elite appearance, raised his glass to Xiao Heng and teased jokingly.

But I didn't expect that this young Mr. Xiao would generously admit: "That's right, Director Wang's eyes are still so sharp."

At that moment, Director Wang's face was filled with astonishment: "Which family's young lady is so fortunate to have caught the attention of Director Xiao"

Xiao Heng waved his hand and smiled, "Director Wang, you can't say that. It is my Xiao Heng who is fortunate enough to meet her. To have met her in my lifetime is my Xiao Heng's blessing. If I am able to marry her, it will be the greatest blessing of my life."

As he was speaking, a commotion came from the front.

Xiao Heng and General Wang were both attracted by the commotion, and they looked towards the door.

"That's... Mr. Shen, the head of Shen Corporation" The director Wang beside him exclaimed in astonishment: "I didn't hear that this industry tycoon would appear at this banquet today"

As she spoke, she turned her head and asked Xiao Heng, "Mr. Xiao, do you know the Shen family..."

When Wang, the director, turned his head to look at Xiao Heng, the latter completely ignored him. He put down the wine glass in his hand and walked straight towards the door.

Mr. Wang was stunned, staring at the figure at the main entrance that had caused a stir among so many people. That was the target of Xiao, the young general manager.

Xiao Xiao moved to the United States, and returned to China after less than a year. While Shen remained in China all along, when did these two people ever cross paths

About the childhood matters between Xiao Heng and Shen Xiu Jin, nowadays, few people in the business circle know the details.

As soon as Shen Xiujian appeared, the scene became a stir. Men and women alike lit up when they saw him appear at the entrance.

The man wanted to step forward and say hello, to get acquainted. The woman tidied her appearance, smoothed her skirt, and adjusted her hair. Both pairs of eyes shone as they stared at Shen Xiujing.

The crowd surged again, parting to reveal Xiao Heng.

"Well, well, isn't this Mr. Shen" Xiao Heng, with his handsome features and a mischievous smirk, placed one hand in his suit pocket as he gracefully approached the entrance of the hall. "Didn't expect Mr. Shen to have an interest in such a grand affair."

Shen Xiujin's phoenix eyes were indifferent as he stood still, watching Xiao Heng walk towards him step by step: "Come out and relax, all the banquets are the same anyway."

"Relax...Oh, what kind of trouble is Mr. Shen facing recently" Xiao Heng said, "Why don't I invite Mr. Shen to play at Donghuang"

Shen Xiuqin's deep phoenix eyes narrowed suddenly, gazing at Xiao Heng... Knowing that Donghuang belonged to him... Was Xiao Heng provoking him!

His lips twitched, bored. He beckoned to the waiter not far away, and the waiter immediately walked over holding a tray. He picked up a glass of red wine from the tray and handed it to Xiao Heng, then raised his own glass, “Xiao Zong is so concerned about me, he should also take care of himself. How could I not see that there are even darker circles under your eyes, Xiao Zong You haven't been sleeping enough lately, have you”

Xiao Heng's hand holding the wine glass trembled slightly, then nonchalantly drained the wine in one gulp and placed the empty glass on the waiter's tray before turning to look at Shen Xiu Jin:

"I did pull quite a few all-nighters. How else could I have dealt with Mr. Shen's wave after wave of difficulties"

"On a marketplace, there's no such thing as difficulty. There's only who's strong and who's weak." Shen Xiuqin said lightly, swirling the red wine in his cup without taking a sip before placing it back on the tray. His cold phoenix eyes swept towards the side:

"I said it before, my things, I don't want them anymore, and I won't give them to anyone. Mr. Xiao, you cheer up, or maybe by pulling many all-nighters, you can turn the situation around. Who knows"

Xiao Heng's smile was a bit stiff, more of an unwillingness to lose: "President Shen has emphasized again and again that he is unwanted... Well well, President Shen, you care so much about her, yet say you don't care President Shen, aren't you loved and can't have it, jealous in your heart"

The temperature in Shen Xiujin's eyes dropped suddenly, his cold gaze fell on Xiao Heng's face: "What about me, I don't need Xiao Zong to worry about it. Xiao Zong should first worry about himself."

After saying that, she walked past Xiao Heng.

Although the atmosphere between them wasn't particularly harmonious, they both kept their voices low, so no one else could hear what they were saying. All onlookers saw were two equally accomplished men engaged in a business discussion.

Shen Xiujin went around Xiao Heng's side and walked in, all the way towards the restroom. Only he knew the anger in his heart at this moment.

Would he fall for a woman like Jane Would he be jealous of Jane and Xiao Heng

Nonsense!

Such a woman, selfish, greedy, materialistic, humble, despicable… I'm afraid even ordinary men wouldn't look at her favorably. How could Shen Xiujing possibly fall in love with such a woman

Never!

But another voice whispered in his heart: You've fallen for her, otherwise, why would you target the Xiao Corporation and the Xiao family

You can lock her up, that way she won't be able to contact Xiao Heng. Why don't you ...Are you afraid that the smile on her face will disappear again

Shen Xiujin walked into the restroom, his cold eyes staring at himself in the mirror, silently and forcefully telling himself in his heart: No! Not possible! I, Shen Xiujin, will never fall for a woman with such a hideous heart! Targeting the Xiao family, targeting the Xiao Corporation, it's just that I don't like Xiao Heng. If Xiao Heng dares to touch my things, he naturally deserves to be punished, and that's all.

Xiao Heng didn't wait for the banquet to end and returned home early.

Late at night, the study on the second floor still had the lights on.

Behind the desk, sat a man working diligently.

Xiao Heng's fingers didn't stop, tapping away at the keyboard. After a busy stretch, he picked up the coffee beside him, treating it like tea, gulping down a whole cup, then buried himself back in his work.

Shen Xiuqin was right – if he dared to slack off or be negligent, he wouldn't be able to withstand Shen Xiuqin's wave after wave of attacks.

Only at this moment did Xiao Heng feel a sense of powerlessness... He and Shen Xiujing had been rivals since childhood, competing in everything but never truly winning over each other.

Back then, I was unwilling to accept it. This unwillingness lasted until I grew up, and even today, it remains the same.

However, Shen Xiuqin was indeed a monster. When Xiao Heng truly fought him, he discovered that this person had an unparalleled advantage in business, whether it was his methods, funds, or talent.

"I can't lose this time, not after never winning before." Only Jian Tong couldn't lose to that Shen fellow!

At four in the morning, Xiao Heng's study, the lights finally went out. of clothing in the middle of summer.But, she can't just be left wearing wet clothes like that.Shen Xiuqin quickened his movements, stripping off her damp clothes. His gaze fell on the outdated and co...
