84 Xiao Yu

After running in the morning, Xu Anyi and Si Mu sat down together to eat breakfast. Every day seemed to start the same way now, and before long, Xu Anyi had gotten used to her lifestyle with Si Mu.

As they ate, Si Mu's phone suddenly started ringing, and he glanced over at it and then picked it up. Xu Anyi looked over, wondering who it was, and he put the phone on speaker mode before setting it back down, continuing to eat.

"President Si," Xu Anyi heard a male voice say through the phone, and she recognized it to be Si Mu's assistant.

"Yes, what is it?"

"I found an assistant for Ms. Xu," the assistant reported, and Xu Anyi looked up upon hearing that.

Si Mu met her gaze and pushed the phone over to her slightly so she could hear better.

"It is a young girl who just graduated college, and I have researched her entire background already. She is clean from three generations above, and I have also personally interviewed her. She seems like a hard worker."

". . ." Three generations above?! Xu Anyi's mouth fell open. Was that really necessary?

However, Si Mu thought that it was very necessary as he nodded his head, "Okay, I will be at the company soon. Bring her here."

"Yes sir."

Then, Si Mu hung up.

"Do you want to come to the company with me later?" He asked, "See if you like the assistant."

Xu Anyi nodded.

—

The assistant was already waiting inside the room when Xu Anyi and Si Mu walked in, and he handed Si Mu the folder he was holding.

Si Mu flipped it open and scanned the page before giving it to Xu Anyi, who immediately saw that it was a person's profile on it.

Name: Xiao Yu

There was a small image of a young girl who seemed to be in her early 20s next to the name, and there was also some basic information about the girl beneath it.

Xu Anyi looked at the information briefly before handing it back to Si Mu with a nod.

"Does she look good to you?"

Xu Anyi smiled and nodded. She was just looking for a simple assistant who can help her occasionally. She did not think that Si Mu would take it so seriously, like she was searching for her life partner or something.

"Where is she?" Si Mu asked.

The assistant cleared his throat, "She is currently out of town, so she couldn't come today, but I told her to contact me once she comes back."

Si Mu frowned slightly and then nodded, waving the assistant off. After the assistant had left, Xu Anyi also picked up her bag, facing Si Mu, "Lili just contacted me and told me that some of the designs are ready, so I'm going to go visit her."

"Do you need the car? I'll tell Si Er to drive you there."

"It's okay," Xu Anyi replied as she walked over to the door, "I can call a taxi myself."

Then, she waved Si Mu goodbye and left the building.

It had been a while already, and Shen Lili had finished creating several designs. She was fast with her work, and she said that it was because her inspiration had been sparked again.

After drawing out all the designs, she had also personally made some of them with the fabric and materials she had, and Xu Anyi was surprised to see how beautiful and detailed the clothes were.

"You made these yourself?" She asked, looking at the pieces on the mannequins.

"Mhm!" Shen Lili responded proudly, and took the pieces off one by one, handing them over to Xu Anyi, "You can go into that room to try them on. I want to see them on you!"

Xu Anyi smiled and entered the empty room, changing into the first dress.

Surprisingly, the measurements fit quite well and the dress was elegant and classy. It looked like something Shen Lili would wear herself, and Xu Anyi was certain that there would be a large group of people who liked this style of clothing.

She tried the clothes on one by one, and Shen Lili took notes of areas to fix.

Xu Anyi had originally been slightly worried that Shen Lili would not take their idea seriously, since after all, Shen Lili was a rich family's daughter with nothing to worry about, and Xu Anyi did not know what type of person she was like after not speaking to her for several years.

However, Xu Anyi was relieved after today to find that not only was Shen Lili very dedicated and hardworking, but she was also incredibly talented and skilled as a fashion designer!

It was a pity she couldn't go major in fashion in Country Y like she had hoped to. . .

After she had tried on the clothing, it was late in the afternoon already, and they went out to eat a late lunch together.

After ordering the food, Xu Anyi took a sip of water and looked around the restaurant.

Shen Lili had picked the restaurant, and it looked quite fancy, although there weren't many customers inside at this time.

"So, it's been a while already since. . ." Xu Anyi looked up. Shen Lili's voice died down and then she changed to asking, "What are you planning to do?"

Shen Lili knew Xu Anyi very well, and after learning that Xu Anyi had been wrongly accused of murder, she was certain that Xu Anyi wouldn't just let things pass so easily.

"What am I planning to do. . ." Xu Anyi repeated, "Model. . . and then I want to build the company. The Xu Corporation."

Xu Anyi looked up, tapping her finger against the table, "After Xuni starts up, I want to expand the business into other areas."

She smiled, "Just like the old Xu Corporation."

Just like her father had done. . . before everything was taken from them.

Shen Lili thought about it and frowned slightly, "I understand why, but. . . how will you do that? I mean. . . starting a business is hard."

She grinned as she met Xu Anyi's gaze and asked playfully, "Is the young daughter of the Xu family also good at business?"

Xu Anyi chuckled and took another sip of water, but did not say anything.

Shen Lili also did not continue with this conversation and instead turned to talk about Xuni, "The new clothing set should be ready by the end of the month and it can be our summer debut."

Xu Anyi nodded, "I like that."

Shen Lili opened her mouth to say something else, but she suddenly froze as her eyes landed on something behind Xu Anyi.

Xu Anyi noticed her change in expression and raised an eyebrow, turning around to see what she was looking at, "What-"

Right as her head turned around, her gaze met the eyes of a familiar person:

Lu Yuzhe.
