In the following few days, Shen Xi continued with her work, occasionally taking leave to handle some related procedures with Jian Fan.
The handling of Zheng Jinghe's Xuxu Company proceeded smoothly. His assets had been appraised and were being listed for auction, which would allow him to clear all his debts and resume normal operations soon.
The pharmaceutical company Shen Xi was registering was also progressing rapidly. The factory premises and equipment had been settled, and only the relevant departmental approvals were pending.
Having made such significant progress in just three days, Shen Xi was very pleased and couldn't help but give Jian Fan a thumbs-up for his capabilities.
No wonder Brother Kai Cheng valued him so highly; it seemed there was a good reason for it. She was also fortunate to have brought him over to help.
During this time, Jian Fan excitedly called Shen Xi to report another piece of good news.
"Sister Xi, the shares of Xia's Group plummeted today, and the company's cash flow has been severed. Xia Jianqi, the CEO of Xia's Group, has fallen ill and is in the hospital. The two Xia sisters are resorting to all sorts of means to find people to raise money."
Upon hearing this, a satisfied smile curved Shen Xi's lips. "Good. Your move was excellent.
Keep a close eye on that second daughter of the Xia family, Xia Jingyi. See who she's meeting recently. It would be best if you could get some photos."
Hearing this outcome, Shen Xi felt a surge of happiness. It seemed she would soon be able to avenge Xie Yifei.
Early on Saturday morning, as Shen Xi came downstairs, she heard a knock at the door.
Butler Wu went to open it and saw Mei Yun walking in through the main gate, dressed in a flowing retro-style long dress and wearing sunglasses.
She was also carrying several gift boxes, which Butler Wu immediately took.
"Auntie." Shen Xi exclaimed in surprise, then rushed over to hug her affectionately, wrapping her arms around her neck. "You're back! I've missed you so much."
Mei Yun removed her sunglasses, her face filled with a smile. She gently patted Shen Xi's back and said, "Really, you missed me. I thought you'd forgotten about me with how busy you are every day."
"Auntie, you say that. How could I forget you? I really missed you. If you don't believe me, feel my heartbeat." Shen Xi looked up, took Mei Yun's hand, and placed it over her heart.
Mei Yun felt for a few seconds, then her lips curved slightly. "Mmm, it is indeed beating fast. It seems sincere."
Shen Xi smiled and pulled Mei Yun to sit on the sofa. "Auntie, you've been away for a whole month. You must have gained a lot."
"Of course. The beautiful mountains and rivers of our country are truly stunning, it was overwhelming." Mei Yun's eyes twinkled with a smile as she briefly recounted her experiences during her travels.
Shen Xi looked at her slightly tired face and couldn't help but reach out to touch it. "Auntie, look, you've been tanned and lost quite a bit of weight. While traveling is enjoyable, you must also take care of your health.
Brother Kai Cheng even called me a few days ago to ask about you."
"Oh?" Mei Yun's gaze lit up at the mention of this. "He called you? Besides asking about me, what else did you two talk about?"
"He also asked about the children's studies and lives."
"What else?"
"And he asked if my work was going smoothly."
"Then?"
Shen Xi thought about it. Song Kai Cheng had called her three times during this period. Apart from these things, he hadn't said anything else.
She wondered why her aunt was interrogating her like this.
"Then, then that was it."
"Oh." Mei Yun's face showed a hint of disappointment.
This young man was truly slow-witted. She didn't know when he would finally voice the feelings in his heart.
If he hadn't insisted she keep silent, she would have spoken for him long ago.
She really couldn't understand why these young people were so hesitant and awkward when it came to relationships; it was agonizing.
"Have you finished your vaccinations?" At this moment, Mei Yun suddenly thought of Qin Si Ye and was curious to know if there had been any progress between him and Shen Xi.
Shen Xi replied with a neutral expression, "Yes, I have."
"Did you go by yourself, or did Qin Si Ye accompany you?" Mei Yun stared intently at her.
"He accompanied me a few times," Shen Xi replied thoughtfully, then quickly added, "I didn't agree to let him go, but his grandmother insisted on him taking me, saying he was the head of the family and had to take responsibility."
