Chapter 238: Chapter 238: Young Master Zhu: Mr. Si, you have to accept defeat gracefully!
Sang Qiao followed the last comment and guessed there was something fishy, but since the other party had already canceled their account, she couldn’t see it; she could only leave this matter to the technology department to investigate.
She didn’t notice the information online, but that didn’t mean Si Chenli hadn’t.
Si Group
The moment the assistant saw that the top trending search was a photo of Sang Qiao, he grabbed his phone to report, but not long after, the person who posted had completely canceled their account.
The assistant could only start browsing through the screenshots others had taken, and after finding a post that perfectly restored the event, he knocked on the office door, "Knock knock!"
"Come in," a cool, low voice came from inside the office.
The assistant pushed the door open and began his report, "A post slandering Miss Sang Qiao appeared online, but it was criticized by netizens and the account has been canceled. I’m not sure if we need to do something about it?"
"Find that person and teach them a lesson," Si Chenli’s pen paused slightly.
He lowered his gaze to look at the mobile page handed over by the assistant, briefly scanning the entire content of the post.
"Yes, I’ll get on it," replied the assistant respectfully as he left the office.
Si Chenli, no longer in the mood to work, picked up his smartphone lying nearby. It was empty, without any messages; seeing this, he nonchalantly put it back.
"Knock knock!"
"Come in."
"Mr. Si, there’s another side online about Young Master Zhu of the Zhu Family saying he wants to pursue Miss Sang Qiao, but it’s not trending much. I don’t know if we need to handle this?"
The assistant’s voice came from outside the office; he was visibly trembling.
Young Master Zhu had some nerve, trying to hit on Mr. Si’s interest.
Hearing this, Si Chenli’s fingertips tensed, and he spoke slowly, "No need, don’t we have a partnership with the Zhu Family? I’ll handle that myself."
"Yes," the assistant sensed something, a hint of impending doom for the Zhu Family.

The next day
Zhu Family’s Villa
When Father Zhu received the news that Mr. Si would personally visit to discuss the partnership, he was overjoyed. Had their family’s collaboration been so successful that it caught Mr. Si’s attention?
Mrs. Zhu was also busy in the kitchen, preparing exquisite fruit platters and instructing the servants to bring out top-grade tea leaves for brewing, intending to entertain Mr. Si.
Young Master Zhu had just returned, changing into swanky clothes, and planning to drive his most expensive car out for a date with a beautiful woman. However, he was stopped by his father just as he came downstairs.
"Where are you off to? You’re hardly ever home, and the moment you return, you’re out the door again?"
"Dad, this time it’s a matter of great importance in my life; please don’t delay me," Young Master Zhu unusually didn’t argue with his father, mainly because he was in a rush to meet the beauty.
He couldn’t afford to miss this appointment; otherwise, he won’t see her again.
"Are you going to call that girl from the photo you shared in the group yesterday? You’re the young master of our family, yet you look desperate; don’t you feel ashamed?"
Mrs. Zhu watched her son despairingly, still fiddling with the fruit.
"No going. We have important guests today. Stay put. You don’t want to go to the company, but you need to learn how to network, understand?"
Father Zhu intended to introduce his son to Mr. Si, planning to credit his son with some achievements in the collaboration.
"Next time," Young Master Zhu tried to run off.
Father Zhu quickly grabbed his son’s collar and yanked him back, "It’s just a girl; there will be others. We will let your mother introduce you to some girls in the future. Meeting Mr. Si is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"
"Dad, you don’t understand—this woman is different from the others. I truly like her, and if dinner goes well today, we can get married tomorrow!"
Young Master Zhu struggled desperately, but his generally unexercised body couldn’t break free.
Just as he was pondering how to escape, footsteps approached suddenly, and the butler led the way into the villa.
Father Zhu let go of his son and hurriedly went to greet the visitor, "Mr. Si, you’ve arrived, please come this way."
"Hmm," Si Chenli strode over and sat down on the sofa, his gaze leisurely sweeping over those present, finally resting sharply on Young Master Zhu.
Mrs. Zhu pinched her son’s arm to have him sit down too, smiling, "Mr. Si, please have some fruit."
Noticing Mr. Si’s gaze, Father Zhu eagerly introduced, "This is my son, Zhu Feng; he led the team that completed this partnership."
"Is that so?" Si Chenli looked at them ambiguously.
The assistant felt embarrassed for the Zhu family; Young Master Zhu spent his days racing and chasing women, never even visiting the company, and yet Father Zhu could spin such a blatant lie.
"Mr. Si, do you have any concerns or need any changes regarding this visit?"
Father Zhu completely missed the assistant’s subtle expression, thrilled that Mr. Si had personally visited their home!
"Young Master Zhu is quite handsome," Si Chenli’s lips curled slightly as he took a sip from his tea cup.
This ambiguous statement sent Mr. and Mrs. Zhu into a state of stiff-faced shock—what did Mr. Si mean by this? Was he interested in their son?
But their son was male!
And hadn’t there been recent online rumors about Mr. Si having a girlfriend?
"Dad, you don’t understand, this woman is different. I truly like her, and if dinner goes well today, we can get married tomorrow!"
Zhu Feng tried to extricate himself from his mother’s grip on his ear, attempting to free his poor little ear, but to no avail, regretting for once his lack of exercise.
"Your words have merit, Young Master Zhu. A man must learn to accept defeat; I must witness your ’love at first sight’ with my own eyes."
Si Chenli remained composed, emphasizing "love at first sight" with particular intensity.
"See for yourself; she asked me out for dinner and said she really likes my type!"
Zhu Feng sighed in relief, initially worried that Mr. Si would use his power to pressure him. It seemed Mr. Si had a real sense of honor.
To think that he, Young Master Zhu, who had lived a rather subdued life, could triumph over Mr. Si in love felt extremely rewarding!
"Alright, let’s go," Si Chenli stood up, leading the way out of the house.
