The heavy snowfall last night immersed the city of Sengkang in whiteness, and thick clouds piled up, as if they were going to swallow up the whole world.
In this cold winter month, there were very few pedestrians on the streets in the early morning. The occasional car drove by slowly, like frozen items slowly thawing.
Cao Aiqian stood in front of the bus stop and tried to pull up the clothes wrapped around her body, but she still couldn't block the coldness radiating from her neck to her chest.
It’s really cold this year! In Cao Aiqian's memory, there has not been such a cold winter for a long time.
"Little girl, where are you going? Come up quickly!"
Cao Aiqian was suddenly tapped on the shoulder. She turned around and looked at a taxi driver who rolled down the window and greeted her kindly with half of his head exposed.
Cao Ai smiled slightly and shook his head at the master, then rubbed his nose with his cold hand.
She recently spent a lot of money on Ran He's medical treatment. The design fee given by Ma Teng was not much and there was no fixed payment date. The monthly pocket money given by Cao Kouwen was no different from that of ordinary families today.
Save what you can!
With a "squeak", the bus came not long after, the door opened slowly, Cao Aiqian got on the bus and sat in the back seat.
The air conditioner in the car had a moderate temperature, making her whole body feel warm.
The master said "Uh-huh" and stepped on the accelerator, and the bus immediately sped up.
Cao Aiqian's eyes were closed tightly. She gave up her bed to Ran He last night and lay on the sofa all night without getting a good rest.
She didn't notice at all that someone was looking at her with a joking look on her face.
Soon, the bus announcement came out: "Dear passengers, please note that Xijiangyue Station has arrived. Please get off the bus through the back door. Pay attention to safety. Thank you for riding."
Cao Aiqian opened her hazy eyes, yawned, and got out of the car before a tall boy.
"Little sister, you dropped something." A clear and sweet voice came from behind Cao Aiqian. She turned around and looked at this man who was so tall that she couldn't even see his face without raising her head.
"Thank you." Cao Aiqian took the umbrella from the other party's hand and quickly jumped out of the car.
The entrance of Chengli Technology Company.
Cao Aiqian shook her head and looked at the sign at the door that said Chengli Technology Co., Ltd. There was no navigation in this time and space, so she got here like an ancient person by asking passers-by.
She took a deep breath and looked at her surroundings. The building stood in the middle of the street, with five gilt words "Chengli Technology Co., Ltd." hanging on the top of the building.
This is a sixteen-story commercial building. Although I heard that Chengli Technology was established not long ago, it has developed very quickly and has now become a large and influential electronics company in the country.
Cao Aiqian stood in front of the building and raised his head to look at the golden glass door. Behind the glass door, he could vaguely see employees walking back and forth in twos and threes.
She walked forward, but was stopped by the security guard as soon as she reached the door: "Who are you looking for? Little girl."
The security uncle looked her over silently. In fact, people were not blocked from entering the company. The main thing he noticed was that she was a little girl. She seemed to be a middle school student, so he asked her if she might need help.
"I'm looking for the chairman of Chengli Technology!" After Cao Aiqian finished speaking, the security guard laughed.
"Are you...Mr. Chen a relative of yours?" A security guard changed his name to "you" and asked cautiously with a curious expression on his face.
Cao Ai Qian paused and said, "No!"
"Then you can't see him." The security guard waved his hand with a nonchalant look on his face. "I have been working here for more than a year, and I rarely meet him."
Cao Aiqian glanced at the security guard, squinted his eyes and said with a smile, "Would you like me to go in and ask if he is here today?"
"You'd better go back! I'm at the door every day. Of course I know when Mr. Chen comes in. But today he didn't come." The security guard said to her with a sure look on his face.
Cao Aiqian looked at the security guard who looked serious and sure, and nodded doubtfully, but then rationally told her the purpose of her visit.
She came here this time to convince the chairman of Chengli Technology to invest in Xiao Q, so that Xiao Q company can survive this economic crisis.
"Manager Li, good morning!" Just as Cao Aiqian was about to say something more, a tall man walked in, and the security guard greeted him with a smile.
When Cao Ai heard the news, Li Sheng, who was wearing a black suit, was walking in. Her eyes couldn't help but light up.
This...this...is not the man I just met on the bus.
Although Cao Aiqian didn't look up to see the man's face clearly on the bus, she always remembered the brooch on his shirt.
It was an exquisite and small egret with rhinestones on it. It was very beautiful and very valuable.
At this time, she found that Li Sheng was also looking towards her.
Their eyes met, and the man's gaze stayed on her cheek without moving even an inch.
"What a coincidence, Miss Cao?" The man bent down and looked at her with interest.
"Ah... what a coincidence... right? How did you know that my surname is Cao." Cao Aiqian was stared at in a daze, looking back at him with two big eyes.
Li Sheng had long heard that Cao Kouwen, this younger sister, was not an easy-going person before, and suddenly she learned painting overnight and won first place in the season.
"What's so difficult about this? I remember that your painting competition was on TV, so I naturally know that your name is Cao Aiqian." Li Sheng straightened up, curled his lips and smiled and said, "I don't know why Miss Cao came to our company. ?"
"Oh... um!" Cao Aiqian quickly took out a document from her bag and handed it to Li Sheng.
"This is some information about Xiao Q Company. I hope to see Director Chen and want him to invest in Xiao Q." Cao Aiqian said and pushed the document into Li Sheng's hand.
Li Sheng was stunned for a moment, then said in a gentle tone: "Little Q?"
Seeing that Cao Aiqian was stunned on the spot without speaking, he smiled and joked: "What? A company even arranged for a young kid to discuss investment."
"You..." Cao Aiqian was speechless for a moment and looked at him angrily.
She thought she looked quite mature today. She wore a black coat with jeans, a pair of high heels, and a more mature make-up, so she no longer looked like a sixteen-year-old girl.
Li Sheng looked her up and down, with a meaningful look flashing in his eyes. He withdrew his gaze from her face and said, "I won't tease you anymore, but Mr. Chen is not here today, but I can give you these documents." Show it to him and he'll call you if he agrees."
As soon as he finished speaking, Cao Aiqian hurriedly thanked him: "Thank you, Manager Li."
With a smile on his lips, Li Chen turned around and walked outside.
Cao Aiqian made a face towards his back.
Inside the office building of Shengfeng Group.
Cao Kouwen sat on his office chair, looking at the tall buildings outside the floor-to-ceiling window, frowning.
The winter nights seemed to come earlier, and as soon as it got dark, the whole city fell into silence.
Suddenly there was a slight knock on the door outside the office.
Cao Kouwen came to his senses and said, "Please come in."
"Dong dong..."
The door was pushed open, Cao Kouwen raised his eyes and saw that it was Li Sheng.
I saw him with a smile on his face, a stack of documents in his hand and threw it into Cao Kowen's arms. He went to get a cup of coffee and put it on the table, and then sat across from him.
Cao Kouwen picked up the document, took a look at it, and asked, "What's going on?"
Li Sheng replied with a smile: "Guess!"
"Guess it's your sister!"
Cao Kouwen rolled his eyes at him angrily and continued to look at the documents in his hand without stopping, "Say it quickly."
"Nuo, your sister gave me the document in front of you." Li Sheng looked at Cao Kouwen with squinted eyes and a playful look on his face. Seeing his puzzled expression, he continued: "I met her when I went to work at Chengli Technology today. She said I want to talk to Mr. Chen about investment."
Cao Kouwen thought deeply for a while, then lowered his head seriously and looked at the documents in his hand. The documents were all about the specific conditions and basic planning diagram of Xiao Q's investment. When he turned to the last page, a power of attorney was revealed in front of Cao Kouwen.
I saw it read: Cao Aiqian, I would like to entrust you as the investor of Xiao Q Company to act as our agent...
Seeing this line of text, Cao Kouwen couldn't help but frowned. He raised his head and looked at Li Sheng and said, "Little Q Company? How come she has the authorization letter from Little Q Company."
Li Sheng shrugged and said nonchalantly: "How do I know that your sister is no longer the arrogant and domineering little girl she used to be?"
"Okay, I don't have time to nag you. Now it's time to show this information to Mr. Chen." Li Sheng stood up from the office chair and glanced at Cao Kouwen, who was still flipping through the information.
Cao Kouwen raised his head, his eyes flashing, "Here, I brought it in."
"Okay." Li Sheng responded, turned around and walked out of the office.
Seeing Li Sheng's leaving figure, Cao Kouwen raised a sneer at the corner of his mouth, "Hey, Cao Aiqian, you are really capable! I want to see what tricks you are playing."
