Chapter 18: To Plan and Plot

  Xu Chen's face wore a smile that could kill, and he walked straight to Cheng Zhiyi's table. Then, with a warm smile, he looked at Mo Wei, politely extended his right hand, and said in a rich, magnetic voice: "I'm Xu Chen, a friend of Xu Shaoyan."

  Wow! Xu Chen thought to himself that he must be incredibly handsome at this moment! After all, how many girls had been instantly killed by his charming smile and gentle voice? This foolproof "pretty boy tactic" was sure to work again this time!

  Seeing such a handsome man suddenly appear in front of her, and "deeply affectionately" stretch out his hand to her... Mo Wei was slightly stunned for a moment, after confirming that the handsome guy in front of her was indeed talking to herself, she smiled sweetly, and elegantly stretched out her hand to shake hands with him: "I'm Mo Wei, Mo from sorrow, Wei from purple flowers, good sister of Ziyuan, nice to meet you!"

  "Mo Wei, a name as beautiful as the person! Nice to meet you!" The corner of his mouth slightly raised, Xu Chen smiled charmingly and captivatingly, lightly grasping Mo Wei's hand, he politely asked, "May I sit down?"

  Wow, the man in front of her is as perfect as a pin-up, he's a delicate work of art! And she, Mo Wei, has been exposed to art since childhood, how could she not appreciate this "work of art" in front of her? Moreover, "beauty can be savored", having dinner with such a handsome man, and she can save a lot on food expenses too!

  "Please sit down!" Mo Wei pretended not to see the eye signal secretly passed by Cheng Zhiyi, and smilingly invited Xu Chen to take a seat.

  Bingo! Xǔ Chēn extremely elegantly and lightly pulled out the chair and sat down, but in his heart he couldn't help but secretly praise himself - it seemed that his "pretty boy plan" was indeed an invincible and unbeatable trick! So, next he would continue to make good use of his "good looks".

  "Where did Miss Mo graduate from?" Xǔ Chēn's face still wore that enchanting smile that could kill people without compensation.

  "Bai Shui City First Middle School, I'm a Chinese teacher." Mo Wei's voice was sweet and gentle, which was quite different from her usual demeanor, making Cheng Zhiyi listen to it with an unbearable itch on the back of his head.

  "Oh! The teacher is great! The teacher is both gentle and meticulous, many men dream of marrying her!"

  "Where, where... I don't know, where did Mr. Xu get his high position?"

  "Working in a company at home." Xu Chen secretly rejoiced: Wow! This woman has finally asked the key question, next, he will continue to show off his second trump card - money! If she knew he was the heir of the Taiyu Department Store Group, this woman would probably be dazzled and infatuated.

  "Oh, Mr. Xu has his own company? That's amazing! He's really young and promising!" Mo Wei praised sweetly.

  "It's nothing, it's a family business. At first, my father started from scratch and built the Taiyu Department Store Group by himself, I didn't contribute at all, just waiting to reap the benefits, it's really shameful... Taiyu Department Store Group! Taiyu Department Store Group! Woman, did you hear that clearly?!"

  "Wow! Is the Taiyu Department Store Group your family's?" Mo Wei asked in surprise, her eyes wide with excitement, and her voice trembling slightly, "The one that's the largest chain department store in the entire province?"

  "Hmm!" Xu Chen smiled and nodded, feeling satisfied with Mo Wei's excitement in his heart, but still humbly said on the surface, "That's my father's business, I'm just working for my father!"

  "Wow, that's amazing!" Mo Wei exclaimed sincerely.

  "Ah, ah……” Having said all that needed to be said, it was time to get down to business——Xu Chen asked with a genuinely sincere tone and gentle voice, “May I have your contact information, Miss Mo? I feel like we really hit it off, and I hope we can find another opportunity to have a good chat.”

  "Of course! Of course!" Mo Wei nodded repeatedly, then rummaged through her bag to pull out a pen and notebook, writing down her name and phone number with swift strokes.

  Mo Wei handed the pale pink paper to Xu Chen, her eyes and eyebrows filled with a smile. She said in a sweet and gentle voice: "Mr. Xu can contact me anytime!"

  Xu Chen happily took the note from Mo Wei's hand, then turned around and proudly waved the paper in his hand at Xu Shao Yan, a self-satisfied smile spreading across his face.

  "Thank you!" Xǔ Chēn smiled and said goodbye, turning around with a flourish and floating away.

  She watched as that tall and straight figure disappeared into the distance, Cheng Zhiyi was still shocked in her heart - what's wrong with Mo Wei today? Did she receive some kind of stimulation? With a pretentious tone, awkwardly fidgeting, even showing off a materialistic girl's appearance, not at all like the usual Mo Wei!

  Cheng Zhiyi turned her head to look at Mo Wei with a puzzled expression, just about to ask, but saw a faint smile of ridicule floating on the corner of her mouth. While elegantly drinking her drink, she casually looked at Xu Chen showing off the note paper to those men, Mo Wei's face was filled with disdain, coldly smiling and softly saying: "Hmph! Indeed shallow!"

  What? No wonder Mo Wei was not like herself just now, it turns out she has been acting all along! I knew it, how could Mo Wei be that kind of greedy and vain gold-digger?

  Ting Xi couldn't help but cover her mouth and burst out laughing, teasing Mo Wei: "I didn't know you were so talented, you can go win an Oscar!"

  Mo Wei couldn't help but burst out laughing, and after she finished, she shook her head in exasperation and said: "Superficial, superficial... I finally understand your feelings! As expected, birds of a feather flock together. It seems that Xu Shaoyan is no better than you!"

  "Exactly! Exactly!" Cheng Zhiyi hastily nodded in agreement, "That scoundrel is the same, showing off his good looks, flaunting his wealth, being lustful, thinking he's the most handsome man under the sky, thinking all women love money, not understanding how to respect people at all!"

  "What a pity for that handsome face!" Mo Wei couldn't help but sigh, "That Xu Chen still thought his 'pretty boy plan' was effective, who knew I'd turn the tables and satisfy his pride..."

  "Did you really give him your phone number?" Cheng Zhiyi asked curiously.

  "Given!" Mo Wei said indifferently, "It's just a phone number! He can call if he wants to, but it depends on whether sister wants to answer or not!"

  "Haha, you're amazing! I give up on you."

  ……

  Two women finished their meal, chatting and laughing, called the waiter to pay the bill, but were told that their bill had been paid by the gentleman at the next table. Turning around, they saw the four men smiling at them with a warm smile.

  "What should we do?" Cheng Zhiyi asked Mo Wei in a low voice.

  "What's the big deal? Just give them a chance to treat us, anyway they have plenty of money!" Mo Wei didn't say another word, and pulled up Cheng Qi's arm. Then, she whispered in her ear, "Besides, can't let Xu Shaoyuan that pervert take advantage of you for nothing?"

  "You...you..." Cheng Zhiyi's face turned red with embarrassment, and before she could scold Mo Wei a few words, she was dragged away from the restaurant by her.
