"I've never met him before, but I have heard of him." Lu Shi's handsome eyes were dyed with light, showing the charm of a Film Emperor. "I heard from Man Man that you and him have a good relationship."

Duan Shu Tong lowered his eyes and smiled, but he did not refute Lu Shi's words. "It's Uncle Xi who takes care of me a lot."

With his eyes lowered, Duan Shu Tong couldn't see it, but Lu Shi's eyes narrowed slightly. He had never heard that Xi Duan would kindly take care of anyone.

Judging from how Duan Shu Tong was like before, it was absolutely impossible for Xi Duan to associate with someone like him.

This matter was a little strange.

Lu Shi temporarily suppressed his curiosity and teased: "I never heard of President having friends before. You are probably the first one."

Suddenly the phone rang, and Duan Shu Tong was stunned for a moment before taking it out. When he saw the caller ID, he couldn't help but be a little surprised.

"Dad?" He got up from the sofa and walked to the balcony.

Lu Shi leaned back on the sofa. His eyes went to the young man standing in front of the French window. Beyond the window, the sky was tinted a rosy red and strewn with wisps of white clouds. Buildings dotted the scene in the distance. The scene looked like a stage set to show off the young man's charms.

Lu Shi has seen many beauties in the entertainment industry. Duan Shu Tong's appearance could already be counted amongst the forefront. Coupled with the young man's unique temperament, Lu Shi has reason to suspect that the reason why President always took care of the young man was not that simple.

After all, that kind of thing was not uncommon.

Duan Shu Tong didn't know that someone else was viewing him like painting. He was currently listening very calmly to Duan Sheng Ye's repeated exhortation.

"Both your sister and I don't have the time to take care of the activities over at Hai City. If you have time, take a trip there."

"What kind of activities?"

Duan Sheng Ye's tone was very gentle, like a loving father teaching earnestly, "We are invited to participate in the annual innovative brand exhibition. We have to go to show our sincerity."

Duan Shu Tong was worrying about how to refuse when he heard Duan Sheng Ye say, "You haven't participated in it before, so it would be good to go and broaden your horizons. At that time, be sure to go to the exhibition area for our family, look at other people's products, compare them carefully, and write me a report of your thoughts. This is very important. You can't be lazy about it."

In the past, the father and the daughter of the Duan family would take turns attending such activities. Duan Shu Tong had never bothered with such events before, but now Duan Sheng Ye has the intention of training him.

It was a rare experience to meet bigwigs in other industries. Interacting more with other people at such exhibitions and learning about how things were developing in all sorts of different trades was much better than just sitting at home and valuing something simply because it was your own.

"But I..." want to invite someone to dinner on Saturday!

"No buts!" Duan Sheng Ye slowly tore off the pretense of speaking like a gentle father, revealing his tough nature. "There are many seniors there. Learn from them more. You're not young anymore. You can't always rely on your family in the future."

After Duan Sheng Ye finished speaking, he hung up the phone, leaving no room for rejection.

Duan Shu Tong: ...Such injustice, he never had the thought of relying on his family in the future.

Father Duan really gave him a problem. He has already changed the date of the dinner once, so he couldn't change it again, right?

He was sighing and wondering if there was a perfect way to deal with this matter. The WeChat alert suddenly sounded.

He looked down and saw that it was a WeChat message from Cen Ning: Young Master Duan, President Xi just received a call from Chairman Duan, saying that you're going with us to Hai City on Saturday. [Grinning emoji] [Grinning emoji] [Grinning emoji]

Duan Shu Tong's eyes lit up. That's right! Why didn't he think of this? If the Duan family received an invitation, then the Xi family definitely received one too!

He happily replied: Okay, I'm going to freeload and carpool with you guys again. [Facepalm emoji] [Facepalm emoji] [Facepalm emoji]

Cen Ning showed Xi Duan his reply. At first Xi Duan smiled, but then his expression fell again.

When chatting with other people Duan Shu Tong used three emojis, but when chatting with Xi dUan, he didn't even use one!

Cen Ning: ...

President Xi, did you study Sichuan Opera before? How can you change your face so fast?!
