"Huh, Shihan, why are you here?"

Li Xingwen, who had just left home and was being taken by Zeng Xianbing to the bank to withdraw some money, had just walked into the bank entrance when he saw a young girl in a bank uniform who looked very familiar.

As he got closer, the other person also happened to turn around, facing the entrance. Li Xingwen immediately recognized the young girl. Wasn't this his precious niece, Li Shihan?

Li Xingwen was instantly surprised and quickly walked over to ask, "Shihan, why are you wearing a bank uniform? Are you working here?"

When Li Shihan came back a few days ago, Li Xingwen subconsciously thought that she was just coming home to rest for a few days and then would return to Peng City. Because whenever relatives gathered during holidays, Li Shihan always said she wouldn't come back to work and would stay in Peng City from now on, and she had been doing so for years.

But now, this truly shattered his understanding.

Li Shihan was busy guiding people who came to the bank for business. This wasn't originally her job, but with a learning attitude, she decided to try it first.

Hearing the voice, she looked up and saw it was Li Xingwen, so she walked over and asked with a smile, "Second Aunt's Husband, do you need to handle any business? Yes, I'll be working here from now on. This is my work badge."

Saying that, she took off the small work badge on her uniform and showed it to Li Xingwen.

"Large Account Manager!"

Li Xingwen muttered the five words on the work badge. Although he recognized them, he couldn't connect this job with his precious niece for a moment.

Someone who studied dance and art actually came to the bank to be a client manager? The industry span was too large.

Furthermore, banks were already difficult to get into, and she even held the position of "Large Account Manager." This was not an ordinary difficulty. How did his precious niece manage it?

Li Xingwen felt it was somewhat unbelievable. Just as he was about to ask, Zeng Xianbing's voice came from behind: "Second Aunt's Husband, huh, Shihan, when did you come back? Why... why are you working here?"

Zeng Xianbing, who always seemed to be dressed in a suit and tie, was also a bit stunned the moment he saw Li Shihan after coming in. This was too strange.

Li Shihan's face immediately stiffened, and she even felt a bit displeased with Li Xingwen, her Second Aunt's Husband.

"Little sister, how do I do this?"

Just then, a middle-aged aunt walked up to Li Shihan with a confused look, holding a form and asking for help. Li Shihan took the opportunity to let her Second Aunt's Husband, Li Xingwen, handle his business himself and then walked away.

Out of sight, out of mind.

"Second Aunt's Husband, why is Shihan working here?"

Zeng Xianbing still asked, somewhat confused.

Li Xingwen was instantly embarrassed and also a little unhappy, thinking to himself, I introduced you, but you didn't take the initiative. Now you're asking me? I'm just her Second Aunt's Husband, not a worm in her stomach. How would I know why she's here?

His good mood was suddenly somewhat dampened.

After withdrawing the money and coming out, Zeng Xianbing also came to his senses a bit and asked, "Second Aunt's Husband, do you think I still have a chance with Shihan?"

Li Xingwen said irritably, "I just made the introduction; I'm an intermediary. Blind dates aren't just about the parents nodding their heads; you have to talk yourselves. You have to actively pursue her. If you don't take the initiative, what chance do you have?"

Hearing this, Zeng Xianbing also became unhappy and replied, "Blind date, blind date, it's definitely about meeting and thinking the conditions are similar. You still have to pursue? If I had to pursue, I would have pursued long ago. I have money, it's not like I don't have money. There are a lot of girls waiting for me to pursue."

Li Xingwen opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end, he didn't say it, only cursing in his heart, Damn! I'm really stupid. Introducing this kind of rich young master to Li Shihan? He's not just missing a screw; he completely doesn't see marriage as a responsibility, just wants to pick up girls.

On the way to the teahouse card table, neither of them spoke.

Li Xingwen sat in the passenger seat, took out his phone, and sent a message to his eldest daughter, Li Shiyu, asking about Li Shihan's recent situation.

His eldest daughter, Li Shiyu, and youngest daughter, Li Shixin, grew up with Li Shihan and were very close. They basically knew Li Shihan's situation.

Li Xingwen felt a bit awkward about the failed matchmaking attempt he had orchestrated for Li Shihan and didn't feel comfortable asking her for details. So, he thought of asking Li Shiyu instead.

Li Shiyu quickly replied to his message. Just as he suspected, Li Shiyu knew everything about Li Shihan's recent situation.

"It's because of Zhou Feiyu. That bank manager specifically arranged a position for Li Shihan."

"Five days a week, eight hours a day, five insurances and one housing fund, and year-end benefits."

"I heard Zhou Feiyu's company is opening tomorrow, and things are going very well. Quite a few people want to invest."

"Well, well, this Zhou Feiyu is quite capable."

Li Xingwen was greatly surprised.

Everything Li Shiyu told him was what Li Shihan had confided in her privately. Except for the more specific details and confidential information, she had basically told her everything else.

Li Xingwen easily summarized two points.

First, Zhou Feiyu's startup is doing well, and many people want to invest.

Second, Zhou Feiyu has strong connections. Even the bank manager gave him face and specifically created an "Artistic Cadre" position for Li Shihan, allowing her to work at the bank and earn a stable income.

"Opening tomorrow? Should I go and congratulate him?"

Then, Li Xingwen thought of this. No matter what, since the Second Aunt's Husband knew about his precious niece's boyfriend's opening ceremony, he should at least show up.

However, Zhou Feiyu hadn't invited him, and it would be a bit awkward for him to go on his own initiative.

Thinking of this, Li Xingwen couldn't help but turn to look at Zeng Xianbing, who was driving. The words of that young lawyer in the teahouse that day naturally came to mind.

Indeed, capable people are very low-key, and rich people don't say they are very rich.

"Zeng Xianbing, do you know that Zhou Feiyu's company is having its opening ceremony tomorrow?"

Li Xingwen felt it was necessary to give Zeng Xianbing a heads-up. His matchmaking efforts should stop here and be completely cut off.

"No, I didn't. What about it?"

Zeng Xianbing replied casually, a look of indifference on his face.

Li Xingwen glanced at him again and couldn't help but state clearly, "Since my niece has already made up her mind, I think you should give up. I'll introduce you to other girls another day."

Only then did Zeng Xianbing understand. He sneered, "I'll go find out where his company is opening tonight. I'll go and offer my congratulations tomorrow."

Li Xingwen was instantly speechless. "Hey, don't cause trouble."

Zeng Xianbing pouted. "I'm just going to offer congratulations. What are you worried about? I have a million-dollar fortune and haven't had enough fun in this colorful world yet. Do you think I'm stupid?"

Li Xingwen was still a bit worried, but there was nothing he could do. He secretly regretted his loose tongue.

Their situation did not affect Li Shihan's work or mood.

As soon as she got off work, she rode her scooter to Fei Yang New Material Company, located in Nanjiang County Industrial Park. The company had a factory building, an office building, a canteen, and dormitories.

Of course, the employee dormitories were separate. Zhou Feiyu had specifically found a few offices in the office building to use as rooms. Conditions were limited, so he, his parents, and Li Shihan were staying there for now.

When Li Shihan arrived, Zhou Feiyu was still chatting with Xiao Jianguo and Jiang Xinyi, the couple.

"Sister-in-law is off work!"

Seeing Li Shihan, Xiao Jianguo and Jiang Xinyi both smiled and greeted her at the same time.
