“……”
Luo Yusen naturally couldn’t mention the matter of Luo Feifei to Director Zhang, so he casually made up a lie and said, “A relative’s child.”
Director Zhang nodded. “It’s rare to see such a friendly and kind side of you.”
Friendly and kind? Luo Yusen smiled without commenting. “Director Zhang, let’s go eat. Secretary Zheng has already made a reservation at the restaurant. I apologize for keeping you waiting.”
Director Zhang waved his hand. “I haven’t waited long. My old body is deteriorating day by day. I originally wanted to exercise with you young people today, but I realized that my stamina is no longer comparable to when I was in my twenties or thirties. It would be a burden for you to accompany me. It’s better for you to go skiing while I watch comfortably.”
“Director Zhang, you’re still in great shape. You’re being modest,” Luo Yusen said, glancing back at Fei Bai. He noticed that the child was happily skiing with his supposedly long-lost classmate, his cheeks flushed with a faint pink from the exercise and excitement.
Half an hour later, Luo Yusen drove Director Zhang to the restaurant. While he went to the restroom, he called Luo Chengcheng and asked, “Does the newly developed smart wristband have any other functions that I don’t know about?”
Luo Chengcheng sensed his brother’s displeasure from his tone and knew that the wristband must have caused trouble. Apart from the heart rate monitoring, he couldn’t recall adding any features that would enrage his brother. So he had to ask indirectly, “Can you give me a hint, brother?”
In addition to not having time to guess riddles with him, Luo Yusen also didn’t want to bring up the heart rate monitoring explicitly. “Voice reminders.”
“Voice reminders?” Luo Chengcheng began to recall which modules on the bracelet had voice functions. “Is it the audiobook feature? I think I forgot to tell you about it. A novel reading website wanted to collaborate with us a few days ago, and the bracelet might have automatically cached some audiobooks.”
“What books?” Luo Yusen asked expressionlessly.
“Wait a moment, let me check… Oh, it’s ‘The Arrogant CEO’s Priceless Young Wife,‘ ‘The Millionaire Substitute Lover,’ ‘The Stubborn Runaway Wife Takes the Ball and Runs,‘ and…” Luo Chengcheng was about to continue when he suddenly couldn’t hear his brother’s breathing on the other end of the phone. He knew the other person was about to hang up, so he quickly said, “Brother, don’t rush. Let me think again. Oh, right! The heart rate monitoring feature will send a voice reminder if it detects the user’s heart rate exceeding three times.”
He warily questioned, “Is that it, brother?” after seeing Luo Yusen hadn’t put the phone down after saying that.

He hadn’t finished speaking when he heard the “beep, beep” sound from the phone.
This time, Luo Yusen really hung up the phone.
Luo Chengcheng clicked his tongue and put down his phone to start playing games. After some time, his phone rang once more. He snatched it up without looking as he continued to stare at the television. Have you figured it out and wish to share your emotional experience with me, brother?
The other party paused before speaking, “Manager Luo, you don’t have to be so polite. I’m only two months older than you, as for emotional experiences.”
Luo Chengcheng realized something was wrong and glanced at the caller ID. He found that it was a partner of Fengyun. He quickly said, “Sorry, I was just talking to my cousin on the phone. I didn’t look and just answered, thinking it was him. Are you calling to discuss cooperation with me?”
After circling back and forth, the other side ultimately revealed their intentions while neither confirming nor denying their statements. Luo Chengcheng was initially very pleased, but when he heard the conclusion, he scowled. “A young man, preferably a student from a prestigious university, in his twenties?”
Seeing his hesitation, the other party added a few more words. Finally, Luo Chengcheng said, “Let me look for it first, and I’ll let you know later.”
After hanging up the phone, he immediately called Secretary Zheng, “Zheng Jie, let me tell you something. Do you remember the last time we couldn’t negotiate a 20% price reduction with that partner who invited me to dinner near S University? It turns out that he doesn’t have the final say in this matter. There is an executive CEO above him who has been dragging us. Now he can’t hold back and took the initiative to come to me, saying that a 2% price reduction is enough, but he wants my brother to treat them to a meal, which is like giving them face. This is not a big deal, but…”
“What is it?” Secretary Zheng asked.
“It’s just that this CEO really likes those young men in their twenties, especially those with a prestigious school background. He wants someone cultured and knowledgeable to accompany him for drinks,” Luo Chengcheng said.
Secretary Zheng asked, “Did you tell President Luo?”
Luo Chengcheng shook his head and said, “I will tell him, but he definitely won’t go. My brother, you know, he always disliked their methods, let alone putting them on the same table.”
“What should we do then?” Secretary Zheng asked patiently.
Luo Chengcheng instructed Zheng Jie, “Ask my brother if he’s willing to do this business. I’ll handle the rest. If it doesn’t work, I’ll buy a fake degree certificate and do it myself.” Luo Chengheng requested that Zheng Jie not bring up the accompanying wine at this time.
After thinking for a while, he suddenly had a bright idea and thought of someone.
The little boy who bumped into his car door outside S University last time—what was his name? Right, Fei Bai.
He was young, good-looking, and a student at S University.
Luo Chengcheng opened his phone’s contact list and called Fei Bai.
Fei Bai and Qiao Li had been skiing outside for the whole morning. Exhausted from skiing till the afternoon, they returned their skis and changed into new clothes. Then they discussed where to have lunch.
“Hey, why don’t we go to my grandmother’s house? We’ll pass by there on our way back anyway, and she’s been wanting to see you for a long time,” Fei Bai suggested.
Qiao Li happily agreed. Fei Bai called his grandmother to tell her they would have lunch at her place. If she didn’t feel like cooking, they could order takeout.
“That won’t do. If Lili comes, I have to cook myself. You’re so thoughtless,” Grandma said.
Fei Bai said to Qiao Li, “Qiao Li, I think you’re more like my grandma’s own grandson.”
They rode in a taxi to Fei Bai’s grandmother’s residence. The sweet aroma of cooking floated out as soon as they opened the door. Fei Bai was briefly brought back to his senior year of high school, when his grandma used to cook for him every day.
Qiao Li affectionately called out, “Grandma.” He washed his hands and sat down at the dining table. After tasting a dish, he said, “Your cooking is still so delicious. I envied Fei Bai for eating your food every day back then.”
Fei Bai rolled his eyes and asked his grandmother, “Did you buy these vegetables from the market? I hope they’re pesticide-free.”
“No, I grew them myself,” Grandma snorted.
Qiao Li burst into laughter, and just as Fei Bai was about to say something, his phone on the table vibrated.

[t/n: Hi lovelies! I decided to update every day. If you see any errors, please don’t hesitate to tell me in the comment section. ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ
Anw, do you want me to replace the word ‘Senior Brother’ with ‘Shixiong’? ]
shixiong sounds nice… let’s do that… Also the cousin will probably hit his own leg with that move!
Lui Chengcheng really shot himself in the foot with that move 😅🕯️
Thank you so much for the update!! And you’re an absolute angel for updating that often ❤️
Oooh looking forward to eating my breakfast with a fresh update.
Neeways… there is some odd phrasing where they ski all afternoon but then go to have lunch at the grandma’s. Lunch is the midday meal.
Luo Chengcheng is really seeking his own death
Thanks for the chapter
For the senior brother part just do what’s more comfortable with you. Thanks for the update but that poor cousin I can already see him suffering XD
Thank You for the new chapter (o´〰`o)♡✲ﾟ*｡ I don’t have any opinion about title in question, choose whatever is more comfortable and convenient for You ^^ ❤
LC pls think twice before you drag Fei Bai to that CEO 👀
Thank you for your translation 💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚
LC, what a slimy move! 🤨 Goes without saying he’s digging his own grave
