78: I'm under immense pressure!

Chen Yuxi was afraid that Li Nan would pester them again, so while Li Nan was stunned, she spoke up again: "Zifeng, it's getting late, I need to go home."

"Alright, Yuxi. Everyone, I hope we meet again someday! Yuxi and I will be heading off first."

After saying their goodbyes, he went to the counter, paid the bill, and walked out of the coffee shop with Chen Yuxi.

As the two walked on the way back to Chen Yuxi's home, Lin Zifeng said meaningfully: "Yuxi, I had thought that you would be very popular with the boys at school, but I didn't expect you to be this popular."

"Those three boys earlier, although they kept smiling, were full of hostility when they looked at me. It seems I have many competitors; I'm under so much pressure!"

"Didn't you hear what Li Nan said just now? I have never cared for those suitors at all. What pressure do you have?"

Chen Yuxi's mind kept echoing Li Nan's words about pursuing Lin Zifeng, so she blurted out these words.

Lin Zifeng felt a surge of joy and said happily: "Do you mean that I have no rivals? That apart from me, no other boy has a chance to get close to you?"

"I didn't say that. Don't jump to conclusions. I just... I just..."

Chen Yuxi didn't know how to explain herself.

"You don't need to explain, Yuxi. As long as I know in my heart, that's enough."

"Yuxi, how tall are you? I'm 1.85 meters tall, and I feel like our heights are a perfect match."

Fearing that Chen Yuxi would feel embarrassed, he quickly changed the subject.

"I'm 1.71 meters tall, one centimeter taller than my sister."

Chen Yuxi answered him subconsciously.

The two chatted quietly along the way, and before they knew it, they were not far from the Chen family home.

To avoid being spotted by acquaintances, Chen Yuxi stopped 300 meters away from the Standing Committee Member building.

"Zifeng, my home is just ahead. It's getting late, you should go back and get some rest too!"

"Alright, go on back! I'll head back now."

Chen Yuxi walked forward a few steps, then turned around and waved at him: "Go on back! Perhaps it won't be long before we meet again."

Then, Chen Yuxi turned around and left quickly.

He didn't look away until Chen Yuxi's figure disappeared, then, in high spirits, he walked toward the hotel.

After an uneventful night, the next morning, Lin Zifeng and the others finished breakfast and returned to the investment promotion meeting venue.

After setting up the promotional boards at their booth again, they started working busily, just like the day before.

Near ten o'clock, Jiang Yufei received a call and said happily: "Secretary, the brochures we distributed earlier have had an effect."

"I just received a call from a company in the provincial capital. They invited me to their company to discuss in person, saying they want to learn more about our investment projects."

"They specifically emphasized that our main person in charge should go along with me."

Hearing the news from Jiang Yufei, everyone was excited and happy. Lin Zifeng smiled and said: "It seems that hard work pays off!"

"Secretary, this is a great opportunity. You and Committee Member Jiang should hurry to the appointment! If we can secure another investment to take back, our goal for attending this investment promotion meeting will be fully achieved."

Cao Shuang said while rubbing his hands in excitement.

"Alright then, I'll leave this place to you all. Zhongyu, you stay here, and Li Qiang can drive Committee Member Jiang and me there."

The group agreed, and the three of them walked out of the venue together.

Li Qiang drove the car out. Jiang Yufei gave the address and name of the company, and Li Qiang followed the road signs toward that company.

Lin Zifeng was stunned, because the company name Jiang Yufei mentioned was Yuqing Trading Company.

He didn't know if this was a coincidence or if this company really had some connection to Chen Yuqing.

His feelings when facing The two sisters, Chen Yuqing and Chen Yuxi, were completely different.

Chen Yuqing was also stunningly beautiful, like an ice beauty, always giving people a feeling of being unworldly. Chen Yuqing gave off a sense of being cold and distant, someone to be admired from afar but not approached.

But Chen Yuxi was different. Chen Yuxi had a gentle personality, and in her poised manner, she was also filled with a bit of innocence and romance. Although both sisters had perfect appearances, they had completely different personalities.

If he had to choose between the two, he would choose Chen Yuxi without hesitation. This was also an important reason why he was certain he was more attracted to Chen Yuxi and had boldly confessed to her.

Seeing him sitting in the car in a daze, Jiang Yufei asked curiously: "Secretary, what are you thinking about? Why are you spacing out?"

He then reacted: "Nothing, I was just wondering, what kind of project could a trading company collaborate with us on?"

"We in Heping Town don't have goods for procurement or export!"

"Secretary, you're mistaken there. Nowadays, many companies, in order to grow bigger and stronger, and even more so to have the ability to resist risks, are all seeking diversified development."

"I've heard of companies in the timber business investing in animal husbandry. These two industries aren't related at all, right? Yet they still invested."

"It is I who am ignorant and worrying unnecessarily."

"If the Secretary is ignorant, then we are even less knowledgeable. It's just that you consider things more thoroughly."

The two chatted quietly along the way. Li Qiang parked the car in front of an office building, turned back, and reminded them: "Secretary, Committee Member Jiang, we have arrived at Yuqing Trading Company."

The two got out of the car on the left and right, looked at the office building in front of them, and walked toward the office building together.

They walked into the office building together and arrived at the front desk. After exchanging a few words with the receptionist, the receptionist asked them to sit in the rest area to the side and wait a moment, then picked up the phone and called upstairs.

A few minutes later, a somewhat familiar figure walked out of the elevator and walked quickly toward them.

Lin Zifeng and Jiang Yufei both recognized the other person. This woman wearing a professional suit was the same woman who had taken the initiative to ask them for a brochure in front of Meilegao Hotel that day.

Seeing the other person walking over quickly, both of them stood up.

"You two, I'm really sorry to keep you waiting."

Li Ou greeted the two while extending a hand.

"You are too polite. We only just arrived as well."

After they shook hands with her, Jiang Yufei replied politely.

"Please come upstairs with me! Our boss is waiting for you both!"

Li Ou made a gesture of invitation. The two smiled and nodded, and the three of them walked toward the elevator entrance together.

The three entered the elevator together, and the elevator rose quickly. Li Ou looked at Lin Zifeng, who was close at hand, and couldn't help thinking: "This man is so handsome!"

"Could it be that my beautiful boss has taken a liking to him, which is why she wants to discuss investment cooperation with him? That's actually quite possible."

"But this girl beside him is not much inferior to my boss. I wonder if my boss still has a chance?"
