Chapter 350 -174: I Envy Neither Lovers Nor Immortals, Only Qingying Every Day

“Qingying, you’re eating so well!”

Soon, Shen Qingying saw her senior’s reply. The envy was so palpable, it was clear she was rattled.

Thinking about the time gap between her senior’s first two messages, she understood why the other woman was so rattled…

…

After leaving the Carlton, Chen Mo drove toward his rented apartment.

Soon, he was at the door.

The moment he keyed in the code and opened it, the enticing aroma of a home-cooked meal wafted out from inside.

Once inside, he saw a graceful figure in an apron cooking in the kitchen.

While he was dancing with Shen Qingying earlier, Xia Shiqing had messaged him on WeChat, saying she wanted to spend the night.

So Chen Mo had let Shen Qingying have a solo dance for a bit while he replied to Xia Shiqing.

He’d told her to go on ahead, and that he’d be back as soon as he was finished.

He hadn’t expected her to start cooking the moment she arrived.

But it was about dinnertime anyway, so he was home just in time for the meal.

“You’re back?”

Hearing the door open, Xia Shiqing turned to look.

Upon seeing him, her cool, pretty face instantly broke into a captivating smile that warmed his heart.

“What’s for dinner today?”

Chen Mo changed his shoes, walked into the kitchen, and wrapped his arms around her slender form from behind. He smiled and murmured the question next to her fair ear.

“It’s all your favorite dishes.”

Feeling the heat of his breath, Xia Shiqing’s fair earlobes quickly flushed crimson.

“My favorite dish is you.”

A slight smile touched Chen Mo’s lips as he planted a kiss on her cool, exquisitely made-up face.

His hands, which had been encircling her slender waist, began to slowly roam higher.

At his words, Xia Shiqing turned in his embrace, wrapping her arms around his neck. Her beautiful eyes, shimmering with affection, gazed up at him.

Seeing the look of anticipation on her gorgeous face, Chen Mo bent down and kissed her alluring, lipstick-coated lips.

Xia Shiqing immediately responded with fiery passion.

A few minutes later, Chen Mo helped her finish the last dish.

They brought several dishes, each a feast for the senses, to the table. They then set out two bowls of rice and two pairs of chopsticks.

“Let’s eat.”

Chen Mo smiled, picked up his chopsticks, and began to eat.

Xia Shiqing’s cooking skills had improved a lot compared to before.

Every time they had a date here, they would cook and eat at home.

Sometimes Chen Mo cooked, sometimes Xia Shiqing cooked, but most of the time they cooked together.

They knew each other’s tastes and preferences inside and out, so their palates were perfectly aligned.

“Mm.”

Xia Shiqing was a light eater, and her table manners were graceful as she took small, delicate bites.

“By the way, I’ve had my people reach out to the talent you recommended. It’s going very smoothly. Thanks for that.”

Chen Mo said with a smile, remembering their previous conversation.

“As long as it helps you.”

A smile touched Xia Shiqing’s gorgeous face.

‘As long as it helped Chen Mo, it had been worth staying up all night asking her classmates and looking up information.’

“Actually, there’s a candidate who would be a great fit for your company, but it’s probably too late now.”

At this moment, Xia Shiqing seemed to think of someone, her tone tinged with regret as she spoke.

“Who?”

Chen Mo glanced at her, curious.

“Xu Xiyue, formerly of Sky Dome Capital. Her investment abilities and management experience are both top-notch.”

“And she’s in a difficult situation right now, so if you were to invite her to join you, there would be a high chance of success.”

“But there’s no chance now. She’s joined a new company, and the boss of that company is her boyfriend.”

Xia Shiqing gave Chen Mo a brief introduction.

‘She really thought Xu Xiyue would be a perfect fit for Chen Mo’s company.’

‘She can manage and she knows investments.’

‘On top of that, she’s a complete workaholic, a go-getter who treats the company like her own home.’

‘Perfect for a boss like Chen Mo, who just wants to be a hands-off owner.’

‘As for the fact that every project Xu Xiyue invested in went under, she didn’t think that would be an issue for Chen Mo.’

‘If every project she invests in fails, then just don’t let her make the investments, right?’

‘Chen Mo could pick the projects, and Xu Xiyue could just handle the execution.’

‘As long as she handled the execution and management, lightening Chen Mo’s load, that would be more than enough.’

‘Unfortunately, Xu Xiyue has now taken a position at her boyfriend’s company.’

‘Even if Chen Mo tried to poach her, she wouldn’t jump ship.’

“You have a very high opinion of her.”

Hearing this, Chen Mo glanced at her, a little surprised.

‘He hadn’t expected Xia Shiqing to recommend Xu Xiyue of all people.’

‘What a coincidence.’

‘Is this the legendary bond between future sisters?’

“She’s very famous in the VC circle. A few years ago, she had great momentum and successfully invested in many projects.”

“It’s just that this year hasn’t been great for her, but she’d definitely have no problem helping you handle management and investment matters.”

Xia Shiqing nodded lightly. She had a very high opinion of Xu Xiyue.

After all, she and Xu Xiyue were known as the “Two Golden Flowers of Finance,” and Xu Xiyue’s previous track record was incredibly solid.

‘A solid track record means real ability and experience.’

‘It was only because she was having a bad year; otherwise, Xia Shiqing would never have considered suggesting Chen Mo poach her.’

‘The odds of someone like Xu Xiyue leaving a major platform like Sky Dome Capital for a small company were just too low.’

‘It was just unrealistic.’

“It’s just that she seems to be in a vicious cycle with her investments; every project she touches fails.”

“But if you’re confident in your own investing, you can just pick the projects yourself and have her execute them.”

“That way there won’t be any problems, and she can also help you handle company affairs.”

Xia Shiqing then spoke a bit more with Chen Mo about Xu Xiyue’s investment situation.

“I agree with you. I also think she can help me handle the management and investment side of things.”

Chen Mo smiled slightly and nodded in agreement.

‘His thinking had been similar to Xia Shiqing’s. He had no doubt about Xu Xiyue’s capabilities.’

‘As for her tendency to kill every project she invested in… that might be a disaster for other companies, but for him, it was a massive boon.’

‘Xia Shiqing trusted his eye for investment.’

‘He, on the other hand, put his faith in his unique constitution—a power on the level of a conceptual god.’

“It’s a shame she’s already joined a new company. You won’t be able to poach her.”

Xia Shiqing smiled sweetly, shaking her head.

“I don’t need to poach her for her to work for me.”

Chen Mo’s lips curved up slightly as he gave her a knowing smile.

“Hm?”

At his words, Xia Shiqing froze, her beautiful eyes looking at him in confusion.

“Because the boss of the new company she just joined… is me.”

Chen Mo raised an eyebrow and said with a smile on his face.
