Crazy! The school beauty's mother works as my secretary!

919 is definitely better than your current boyfriend!

Sunglasses perched on his upturned nose, obscuring most of his face.

But it couldn't hide the carefully drawn red lips, and the faint smile beside them.

Zeng Shuying didn't wear her usual sophisticated suit today.

She wore a burgundy halter-neck dress that accentuated her voluptuous curves, with a beige silk cardigan over it, the neckline casually draped over her shoulders, revealing her delicate collarbone and a section of her fair neck.

Her long hair was permed into lazy, big waves, with natural curls at the ends.

She has lost some of the professor's dignified solemnity and gained more of a mature woman's sexy charm.

Chen Mo raised an eyebrow, walked around to the passenger side, opened the door, and got in.

Just as I fastened my seatbelt, the person next to me leaned in and whispered softly:

"What, after a day of tutoring with Professor Lu, you don't recognize him anymore?"

"Yes, I have a bad memory, so you'll have to tutor me often."

"Tsk~"

Chen Mo moved closer, the faint scent of gardenias from her hair lingering around his nose, along with a subtle hint of perfume, creating an alluring aroma.

He reached out and took off her sunglasses, revealing her almond-shaped eyes that were filled with laughter.

"Tell me, where are you going, all dressed up like this?"

Zeng Shuying blushed slightly under his gaze: "I just came out to run some errands and happened to be passing by when I delivered your car."

A mischievous glint flashed in Chen Mo's eyes. Before she could react, he reached out and grabbed the back of her neck, then leaned down and kissed her.

The moment their lips touched, Zeng Shuying's body stiffened slightly, then went limp.

The little hand unconsciously grabbed the hem of his shirt.

Chen Mo only released her when she was almost out of breath. Looking at her flushed cheeks and moist lips, he raised an eyebrow and said:

"What brings you to dress up so nicely?"

Zeng Shuying lightly spat, but her eyes were full of laughter:

“An old classmate of mine just came back from abroad. We haven’t seen each other for many years. We arranged to meet up, and I’ll show her around Shanghai and see how it has changed.”

"Female classmate?" Chen Mo emphasized these three words, but his fingers naturally stroked her long hair.

"Pure girl, don't get the wrong idea." Zeng Shuying smiled, rubbed her hands together, and started the car.

“She used to share a dorm room with me and we got along quite well, but she later moved abroad and settled down. This time she came back to accompany her boyfriend to develop his career.”

Chen Mo nodded in satisfaction and leaned back in his seat, watching her drive.

Sunlight streamed through the car window, casting soft shadows on her face and highlighting the gentle, delicate lines of her profile.

The car drove smoothly along the bustling streets of Shanghai, with towering buildings lining the way.

Compared to a few years ago, it has gained a more international flair.

The agreed meeting place was a café located in an old villa, with a quiet and elegant environment.

After the car came to a stop, Zeng Shuying straightened her skirt, turned to Chen Mo and smiled:

"I'm going in now, I'll call you when I'm done."

"Okay, call me anytime if you need anything."

Chen Mo opened the car door for her and watched her walk into the coffee shop in her high heels before driving away.

Not long after he left, a black Porsche slowly pulled up in front of the coffee shop.

The car door opened, and a man in a custom-made suit stepped out first. He was tall and had a limited-edition luxury watch on his wrist, looking every bit the part of a financial elite.

Immediately afterwards, a woman wearing a cropped top and ripped jeans came down.

Her light brown curly hair was styled in an exaggerated way, and she wore heavy makeup.

He spoke fluent Chinese interspersed with a few English words, and was dressed in typical "banana" (Chinese-American) attire.

"Shuying! Here!"

When the woman saw Zeng Shuying, she immediately waved and walked over quickly, giving her a big hug. Her perfume was so strong it was almost pungent.

Zeng Shuying patted her back politely, and smiled after letting go, "Long time no see, Xiaoman."

The woman called Xiaoman pulled the man beside her over and introduced him with a proud look:

“This is my boyfriend, Zhou Mingxuan. He used to be a senior investment banking manager at Morgan Stanley on Wall Street.”

"Now I've given up a high-paying job abroad and come back to China to develop my career."

“Mingxuan, this is Zeng Shuying, my college classmate whom I told you about. She is now a professor at Shanghai University.”

Zhou Mingxuan extended his hand, a hint of scrutiny in his eyes: "Miss Zeng, I've heard so much about you."

Zeng Shuying simply nodded politely, without extending her hand, and said calmly:

"Mr. Zhou, you're too kind."

She really disliked this kind of attitude of putting on airs as soon as they met.

After the three of them sat down, Xiaoman began to boast incessantly.

From New York mansions to Paris Fashion Week, her conversation revolved around words like "Wall Street," "high salaries," and "elite circles." Midway through the conversation, she deliberately paused, then asked Zeng Shuying with a boastful tone:

"By the way, Shuying, you still haven't told us what your boyfriend does? You said you had a girlfriend during our last video call."

Zeng Shuying picked up her coffee, took a sip, and mumbled:

"His work is relatively flexible."

Chen Mo's name is now known all over the world.

Everyone knows him.

Zeng Shuying isn't flamboyant; she just wants to quietly follow Chen Mo.

Using his name to compete and flaunt her influence is definitely not her style.

Moreover, the international financial community now has an immense fear of Chen Mo, or more accurately, a deep-seated dread.

Wall Street investment banks have now realized what's happening.

The invisible hand controlling the entire US stock market is Crown Group!

Xiaoman immediately gave her an "I understand" look, leaned closer, and lowered her voice:

"Shuying, I'm not trying to criticize you, but a woman still needs to find a man with real ability."

"Look at my Mingxuan, he just got back and got into a top investment bank. His future is limitless."

"If you feel that your current partner is not suitable, I'll have Mingxuan introduce you to some elites in the financial industry. They'll definitely be much better than your current one."

Zeng Shuying: "..."
