“Young Master, there’s a classmate looking for you.”

The woman knocked on the door, sounding somewhat cautious.

From inside the room came an impatient voice, “Who is it? Tell her to wait! I’m busy!”

The woman turned back, looking somewhat embarrassed as she glanced at Mei Shu. “I don’t even know your name yet.”

“Mei Shu,” she replied calmly, sitting with her legs crossed on the sofa.

“Alt, okay!” The woman turned back to the door. “Young Master, she said her name is Mei…”

Before she could finish her sentence, the door was abruptly swung open from the inside.

Li Zhen’s face, full of annoyance and incredulity, appeared.

“Long time no see,” Mei Shu said.

Li Zhen rushed over, as if he wanted to say something loudly, but for some reason, he swallowed it back and dryly said, “What are you here for? How did you know I live here?”

“Your brother sent me,” Mei Shu replied, raising an eyebrow as she looked him up and down. “Have you not washed your face in days?”

At this moment, Li Zhen looked particularly sloppy, with stubble on his face and disheveled hair. His clothes were wrinkled,

completely different from the handsome and stylish Li Zhen known at school.

Upon hearing this, Li Zhen suddenly turned his head away, his tone unnatural. “What’s it to you?”

“I’m not here to control you. Don’t misunderstand. I just want to fulfill your brother’s request,” Mei Shu said.

Li Zhen turned to glare at her. “What request?”

“He seemed very worried about you, thinking that I could help you get back on track,” Mei Shu said matter-of-factly.

Unfortunately, Li Si didn’t know that Mei Shu was the one who had caused Li Zhen to become like this.

With her sudden appearance and seeing Li Zhen in such a disheveled state, how could his despondent mentality improve?

Li Zhen asked, “How did you meet my brother?”

“We met through business acquaintances,” Mei Shu replied, not wanting to delve into it further.

Li Zhen, however, seemed to understand perfectly. “It’s because of the investigation into Mei Corporation’s accounts, isn’t it?”

Unexpectedly, a smile played on Mei Shu’s lips. “Oh, I didn’t expect the young master to not only be stuck in his room playing games, but also paying attention to my company’s affairs?”

“Don’t get me wrong. I just happened to see some news online!”

Li Zhen retorted with a nasty tone, somewhat retaliatory.

Mei Shu shrugged indifferently. “As you said, it’s about that. We made a deal, so seeing how well I’m doing now while you’ve turned into a recluse with poor hygiene, do you have any thoughts? Why don’t you go wash your face and brush your teeth first?”

Li Zhen’s face suddenly turned ugly. “Just you wait!”

After saying that, he stormed into the bathroom to wash up. Half an hour later, he came out with a flushed face. “Hey, since it’s a deal between you and my brother, that means you’re willing to do anything to get me back on track, right?”

“It depends on what it is. Your brother isn’t the only option for me,” Mei Shu said, saving the financial spreadsheet she had just taken advantage of the time to make and putting down her phone. “Go ahead and tell me.”

Li Zhen couldn’t stand her current demeanor.

They hadn’t seen each other for just a month, but in front of Mei Shu, he inexplicably felt diminished.

As if she were already a mature and steady adult, while he was just a child who knew nothing but throwing tantrums.

He sneered sarcastically, “Just staying in the room isn’t effective. Let’s go out and take a walk. How about watching a movie? There’s a new romantic movie with good reviews.”

He deliberately emphasized the word “romantic”, with a strong sense of provocation, as if he was sure Mei Shu wouldn’t dare to go.

But Mei Shu unexpectedly agreed without thinking, “Sure, let’s go watch a movie. I’ll book the tickets.”

“No need.” Despite feeling defeated, Li Zhen didn’t want to continue being in a weak position.

Out of some inexplicable male dignity, he took the initiative to book two movie tickets on his phone and thoughtfully bought two portions of popcorn and cola.

After going downstairs, Li Zhen drove the car to the entrance of the building. “Get in.”

He was pointing at the passenger seat.

Mei Shu raised an eyebrow and without saying a word, got into the car.

Li Zhen smirked sarcastically, one hand on the steering wheel and the other on the gear stick, he turned his head to look at her, “You’re willing to sacrifice anything for work, aren’t you? Aren’t you afraid your Master Si will be angry?” “I have no interest in you, and he understands that. So he wouldn’t care,” Mei Shu said.

Li Zhen was so angry at her words that his mouth twitched. With a cold snort, he stepped on the gas pedal and drove the car fast. By the time they reached the mall, Mei Shu miraculously felt a bit carsick.

Seeing her struggling not to vomit, Li Zhen finally felt a sense of revenge. “If you want to vomit, go to the bathroom. Remember to chew some gum; otherwise, it’ll stink!”

Mei Shu glanced at him expressionlessly. “I’m not going to vomit. Let’s go, let’s watch the movie.”

Li Zhen stared at her straight back, maliciously pulling the corners of his mouth. “Let’s see how long you can hold on!”
