Shi Zong suddenly looked strange when he saw Su Mu sitting next to Xia Yixue.
"Yixue, who is this?"
Xia Yixue said: "His name is Su Mu, he is the vice president of Muyu Daily Chemicals." Xia Yixue introduced.
Hearing this introduction, Shi Zong immediately felt relieved, which meant that Su Mu and Xia Yixue were probably just business partners.
"Su Mu, his name is Shi Zong, he is my high school classmate, and now he has a master's degree from overseas." Xia Yixue added.
Shi Zong smiled slightly, walked up to Su Mu, stretched out his hand, "Su Mu, nice to meet you."
Su Mu stood up and shook hands with Shi Zong, "Hello."
"By the way, are you talking about business matters? Will my being here affect you?" Shi Zong looked modest and polite.
Xia Yixue said: "No, we are not talking about business today. In fact... Su Mu and I have already had an engagement, and we are an unmarried couple."
As soon as these words came out, Shi Zong's expression suddenly froze, "What? You're not joking, are you? Do you have an engagement?"
In Shi Zong's view, only he is worthy of Xia Yixue, and he cannot accept others taking away his beloved.
Xia Yixue nodded, "Yes, our engagement was made by Master Su Mu and my grandfather."
"Yixue, a marriage contract is nothing more than an agreement between elders and has no legal effect. Don't give up your right to marry and love freely because of this."
Xia Yixue shook her head, "No, I am not with Su Mu because of the engagement. Su Mu and I get along very well."
"If I don't have feelings for him, it's useless even if I have an engagement."
Since Su Mu agreed to Xia Yixue, he would definitely cooperate with her to continue this scene.
"That's right, Mr. Shi, Yixue and I really love each other, not because of the engagement." As he said that, Su Mu put his arms around Xia Yixue's waist.
A chill suddenly appeared in Shi Zong's eyes, a chill that was very inconsistent with his appearance.
In the eyes of outsiders, he is a humble and polite young man from a well-known family, but if someone touches his bottom line and interests, he will use any means to retaliate against that person.
But in order to maintain his good image, he would not do it himself, but would secretly find someone to do it for him.
Shi Zong regained his smile, "So that's it. Congratulations to you, Yixue. I thought I would be your beloved, but now it seems I have no chance."
Xia Yixue felt a little uncomfortable.
Although she has no romantic feelings for Shi Zong, she does regard him as a friend.
"Shi Zong, I'm sorry. I know you have been pursuing me, but I just treat you as an ordinary friend."
"It doesn't matter, I'm happy to be just friends." Shi Zong said in a relieved tone.
"By the way, I originally wanted to ask you to go archery. In this case, is it okay for the three of us to go together? As friends, you won't dislike me as a light bulb, right?"
Xia Yixue said quickly: "How could that be? Thank you then. I've been very busy with work during this period, so I can go and relax today."
After rejecting Shi Zong's love, now that Shi Zong invites her to go archery as a friend, she will naturally not refuse again.
"Su Mu, what do you think?" Xia Yixue asked Su Mu for his opinion.
"No problem, let's go have some fun." Su Mu nodded.
A hint of sinister flashed in Shi Zong's eyes. He would arrange for someone to cause an accident at the archery hall and let Su Mu die there.
"Okay, let's go."
The three of them took a car together and arrived at an archery hall.
Archery is a sport that is basically played by children from rich families, and this has been the case since ancient times.
"Yixue, you also learned archery back then, and the two of us even competed, and you won. I have been practicing since then."
Xia Yixue said modestly: "Where is it? It's obvious that you let me do it on purpose. You are one step less than me every time. How can there be such a coincidence? Do you think I can't see it?"
Shi Zong scratched his head in embarrassment, "You can see it, and there's nothing I can do about it. Who made you a lady? If I don't let you, it would make me look too ungentlemanly."
"By the way, Su Mu, can you shoot arrows?" Shi Zong asked.
Su Mu said calmly: "I haven't played it before, but it should be very simple."
"Very simple?" Shi Zong said with a smile, "Do you like to think of everything as simple? I don't know anything else, but I can guarantee that if you haven't learned archery, hitting the target will be a problem."
Su Mu just smiled and did not refute.
At his level of martial arts, no matter what sport it is, there are very few things that can defeat him.
Although Su Mu had never learned archery, he was confident that he could learn it within three arrows and hit every shot.
"Yes, Su Mu, archery is not an easy sport. I have practiced for a long time before I can stably hit the target within thirty meters."
Su Mu smiled, "Maybe I think it's too simple. I just think this thing is easy."
Shi Zong said with a smile: "Su Mu, since you think archery is easy, how about we compete?"
"Since you haven't played before, I can let you. We each shoot three arrows. If I hit the bull's-eye, I win. You only need one of the three arrows to hit the target. How about that?"
Shi Zong was very confident that Su Mu would not be able to hit the target, because when he first came into contact with it, he shot nearly ten arrows before hitting the target.
Su Mu said: "Okay, then let's compare."
When Shi Zong saw Su Mu accepting the challenge, the corners of his mouth suddenly curled up.
Women are all admirers of strength. When Xia Yixue sees that Su Mu is not as good as him, she will definitely be disappointed in Su Mu and will worship him instead.
"Okay, I'll go first."
Shi Zong chose a compound bow, which was easier to draw.
The target distance he chose was an elementary level of thirty meters. He shot an arrow and hit the bullseye directly.
"Wow, Shi Zong, I didn't expect your shooting skills to be so good. The first arrow hit the bull's-eye." Xia Yixue praised, she really admired Shi Zong's shooting skills.
Shi Zong felt proud in his heart, but pretended not to care on the surface, and continued to shoot the second arrow, and then the third arrow.
All three arrows hit the bullseye. Although it was a primary distance, the accuracy was already very impressive.
"Su Mu, it's your turn." Shi Zong said with satisfaction.
Su Mu walked aside, looked at the bows on the shelf, and chose a traditional bow.
"Su Mu, this is a traditional bow. It's very heavy. You have to choose a compound bow." Xia Yixue reminded.
Shi Zong felt a burst of sarcasm in his heart, laughing at Su Mu who couldn't even choose a bow. Not only did he choose a traditional bow, but he also chose the heaviest one.
Su Mu said: "It doesn't matter, I like traditional bows, and they have a lot of strength."
"If you don't listen to my advice, you'll find out later and you won't even be able to draw the bow. I think you'll be embarrassed."
Su Mu smiled and took three arrows.
After the arrow was on the string, Su Mu pulled the bowstring sharply.
