Hearing this, a fleeting surprise flashed in Jin Jingchen's eyes. He quickly apologized, "Sorry, I shouldn't have asked that."
It turned out that little Shen Zishuo was also an illegitimate child, just like him.
"It's fine," Yin Xi replied calmly. She stood up and said, "I'm going to the restroom."
A few minutes later, after washing her hands, Yin Xi walked out with her head down. She bumped into a woman's arm.
The person was in a hurry, as if she had something urgent.
Yin Xi looked up with some displeasure. The person quickly apologized to her, "I'm sorry!"
Their eyes met, and both of them were startled.
Yin Xi froze for a moment, then quickly recognized her as the female assistant beside Meng Qi.
But why did this woman's gaze feel vaguely familiar?
Bai Lin quickly withdrew her gaze and said "Sorry" again before walking back.
Returning to her seat, Yin Xi collected her thoughts and asked with a smile, "Jin Jingchen, the child of my friend I told you about last time, when do you think..."
"Oh. Tomorrow then." Before he could finish, Jin Jingchen quickly interjected, "Tomorrow at 3 PM, have their parents come to my office to see me."
"The child's name is Fu Runze. He's very smart and eloquent, a good friend of Zishuo's." Yin Xi was very happy to hear this and couldn't help but speak highly of Fu Runze.
Jin Jingchen smiled and said, "Yin Xi, you should know that I am very strict in selecting students, and the knowledge I teach is relatively profound.
If they don't have a talent for playing Rubik's Cubes, I usually won't accept them."
"I know. I've already explained your situation to his parents. You can assess him first before deciding." Yin Xi replied with a smile.
She didn't know Fu Runze's Rubik's Cube skills or his talent. She could only leave it to him, the expert, to judge.
However, she still hoped that Fu Runze would be selected by him so that she could repay Fu Jiheng's favor.

Zhuo Sheng was working overtime today because they were launching a new product.
In the afternoon, in the CEO's office, Qin Siye had just returned from an outside errand when Zhao Ze walked in.
"CEO, our company is preparing to launch several new diamond necklaces. Due to Ms. Meng Qi's injury, the endorsement advertisement may have to be postponed."
"Who? Meng Qi? How could it be her? I remember the publicity department reported the artist's name as Yun Wei." Qin Siye looked at him in shock.
"I'm sorry, CEO. Yun Wei is Ms. Meng's stage name. I just found out." Zhao Ze replied cautiously.
On the night Meng Qi returned, she had a car accident, and the CEO personally took her to the hospital.
The next day, the CEO asked him to withdraw the news reports, and he only then learned about it.
From this, he realized that the CEO and Ms. Meng Qi were childhood sweethearts.
He wondered if Ms. Yin had seen those news reports and if it would affect their relationship.
What he didn't expect was that the international artist Yun Wei, whom they had paid a lot to hire, was actually Ms. Meng Qi.
It was too much of a coincidence.
"Can we change people?" Qin Siye suddenly asked.
Zhao Ze guessed his concerns but could only regretfully tell him,
"CEO, we have already signed the contract. If we breach the contract and change people now, it will have a very bad impact on our company."
After thinking for a moment, Qin Siye said nothing more and signaled him to leave.
After the door closed, Qin Siye took out his phone, opened WeChat, and wanted to check his moments to see what Yin Xi had been busy with all day.
As soon as he opened it, a friend request appeared in his contacts.
"Brother Siye, it's Meng Qi. Please accept. I hope our cooperation will be pleasant!"
Qin Siye paused. Seeing the words that followed, he clicked the accept button.
Soon, the other party sent him a message.
"Brother Siye, I'm sorry. We met in a hurry a few days ago, and I forgot to tell you. My stage name is Yun Wei, and I have signed an advertising cooperation with your company."
Qin Siye replied with a faint word: "Mm."
Then he asked, "How did you get my phone number?"
That night, when she had the car accident, the police called him to inform him. Her number must have been what she told them.
They hadn't seen each other for seven years, and his phone number had long since changed. How could she have known?
The situation was urgent at the time, and he hadn't had time to think about this question.
Meng Qi replied calmly, "Your business spans the globe, and many people know you. I asked a friend from abroad.
Brother Siye, you don't want to see me, do you?"
