"Have you finished investigating it?"

In a luxurious room, facing the windows, a person sitting turned around slowly and looked at the young man who was standing in front of him wearing glasses.

"Boss, here's all the information on Xu Jiaojiao." The man wearing the glasses then handed over a thin folder to the person sitting in front of the window.

If Sheng Jiaoyang were here, then with just a glance she would recognise that the man sitting on the luxurious chair was Shen Zhining.

During the next fifteen minutes, the only sounds in the room were the ones of pages being flipped through.

With only a few thin sheets of paper, it didn't take Shen Zhining long to finish reading it all.

"Is this it?" Shen Zhining didn't make any excessive movements, leaving only his slender index finger to tap on the information. His tone was flat and sounded partially imposing.

"That girl is too ordinary," said the man wearing glasses.

"If she was ordinary, would I have ordered you to investigate her?"

The man wearing glasses choked. He didn't think that he'd missed anything as all he could find was documented on those sheets of paper. This world was filled with thousands of shy girls like Xu Jiaojiao, so there wasn't much information to gather. It was only due to her personality becoming much more cheerful recently that a few more sheets of paper were able to be added to the pile. Otherwise, everything about her life would easily have fit on one piece of paper.

Seeing that the other person hadn't yet realised his error, Shen Zhining slightly narrowed his eyes, his expression becoming a little more severe.

"What did I tell you when I ordered you to investigate this person?"

"Her style of painting is identical to Sheng Jiaoyang's. She can also play Sheng Jiaoyang's favourite piano piece, and her behaviour is similar to Sheng Jiaoyang's," the man with glasses said as he recalled the order.

"Then, what is it that you investigated for me? Do you want me to read it to you?"

"Xu Jiaojiao used to be too shy and had no friends, so no one really knew her. Perhaps, she's a fan of Jiaoyang?"

Shen Zhining laughed slightly in annoyance before he stressed, "In the future, don't tell people that you graduated from Harvard."

"Why?"

"It will make people question Harvard's standards."

"..." The man wearing glasses blinked innocently. What had he done wrong?

"Get out and tell Weinan to come in."

"Yes!" The man wearing glasses stared at Shen Zhining for a moment before he walked out of the room.

As he left the room, he quietly said to the tall guard standing by the door, "Brother Nan, be careful. Boss is in a bad mood today."

Jing Weinan wordlessly glanced at the man wearing glasses. He'd heard the conversation in the room just then. Whose fault is it?!

Ignoring the man wearing glasses, Jing Weinan entered the room.

Shen Zhining looked calmly at the man for a while before he said, "Weinan, tell me what you're thinking."

"Xu Jiaojiao has many doubtful points. Before, she'd always been a nerd who only knew how to study. No one knew that she could draw, and nobody knew that she could play the piano. Moreover, her growing environment didn't accord her the opportunity to acquire these skills. Even if she had an aptitude for those things, Rome wasn't built in a day. Where did she learn those skills? This is the first doubtful point."
