Bai Feng was even more terrified now.
When had his boss ever praised a woman's looks so directly!
Shi Xinxin raised an eyebrow upon hearing this, finding it unexpected that the seemingly cold crown prince could also offer praise.
Both of them seemed to realize the conversation had veered off track and fell silent.
"Are your eyes bothering you at all?"
"Not bad."
Ambiguous, neither good nor bad.
Shi Xinxin was annoyed by his response.
Her gaze shifted to Sheng Chenjin's hair.
It was neither long nor short, making it difficult to act!
Since she didn't dare to alert the snake, she decided to lure it out.
Shi Xinxin absently tidied up the medical supplies, occasionally glancing at Sheng Chenjin's head, lost in thought.
Meanwhile, Sheng Chenjin didn't notice Shi Xinxin's peculiarity, as he was preoccupied with something else.
How could he get his hands on those children's samples?
His gaze drifted to Shi Xinxin's hair.
Shi Xinxin felt his gaze sweeping over her and knew all she had to do was give him a little help to successfully execute her plan.
Just as Shi Xinxin was contemplating how to get closer to Sheng Chenjin again, she discovered he had suddenly wrapped his arm around her neck.
Habitually wanting to resist, Shi Xinxin forcefully raised her arm.
However, after a few seconds, she regretted her subconscious action, which had made this endeavor awkward.
Unexpectedly, Sheng Chenjin didn't seem to care. He lightly flicked her hair behind her head, as if playing with it.
Then, with a blank expression, he withdrew his hand.
Silently, he transferred the hair he had pulled from her right hand to his left. Then, a tiny impurity appeared on his right hand.
"Sorry, I saw a small thing on your hair just now and couldn't help but remove it for you."
"My apologies, Miss Shi."
Shi Xinxin saw every small movement Sheng Chenjin had made.
"Thank you, Mr. Sheng."
"Alright, your eyes have recovered well so far, but you still need to be careful and protect them. You should also limit your use of electronic devices to speed up recovery."
After a pause, Shi Xinxin still spoke up, "I hope Mr. Sheng can keep the matter of the divine doctor and miracle hand a secret."
"Naturally. Miss Shi is my savior, and I will certainly keep this secret.
A mutually agreed-upon plan between the two concluded smoothly, and Shi Xinxin could only wait for the results.
Having cast the bait, it was time to wait patiently.
If he truly was that man...
"Miss Shi, can the matter we discussed earlier be realized today?"
Sheng Chenjin subtly asked if they could exchange WeChat contact information today.
But Shi Xinxin clearly didn't recall this, and asked him absentmindedly.
"What agreement?"
"Our collaboration, if the project requires contact regarding follow-ups..."
Sheng Chenjin hesitated, worried Shi Xinxin would refuse again.
"Oh, adding WeChat, right?" Shi Xinxin suddenly understood.
To his surprise, she didn't refuse this time and generously took out her phone.
"Didn't you have my phone number before? You can directly search for me on WeChat. I have to go now, I have things to attend to. See you." Seeing Sheng Chenjin's hesitation, Shi Xinxin lost her patience, put away her phone and medical kit, picked them up, and strode away without looking back.
Bai Feng stared in disbelief at the elegant retreating figure that quickly disappeared from sight. He then turned his eyes to his boss, only to see his boss seemingly taken aback, his hand frozen mid-motion as he reached for his phone.
Sheng Chenjin, realizing what had happened, found his expression gradually becoming uncontrollable.
Bai Feng: ...
Shi Xinxin quickly exited the private club.
She faintly heard the faint "click" of a camera working. Shi Xinxin paused.
She looked around and saw a corner of clothing peeking out from a gap in the nearby greenery.
Shi Xinxin grinned knowingly.
"How foolish."
Above the greenery were shrubs, and below were sparse branches. In such an obvious spot, one could easily see a woman in a white dress and expensive custom high heels secretly using her phone to edit something.
Shi Xinxin smirked and discreetly took out her phone, returning the favor by taking a few close-up photos of her.
The woman was engrossed in editing, completely unaware of Shi Xinxin's actions.
In the photos, the jewelry on the woman's wrist gleamed, appearing remarkably clear even when zoomed in.
Shi Xinxin didn't stop the woman and put away her phone.
After all, she had evidence of the woman secretly taking photos of her. No matter what this woman intended to do with her pictures in the future, it wouldn't be a threat.
Having just returned to the country, and with Su Li still not dealt with, she needed to be cautious with an additional woman to contend with.
Her company employees had also been very enthusiastic these past few days, discussing company matters with their approachable CEO in the group chat.
The department managers didn't have as many rigid rules as those in other companies. Most importantly, they respected employees' creative thinking and weren't bogged down by useless regulations, leading to extremely high work efficiency. A few designers were of no consequence; the company was still developing steadily.
"Hello, President Shi!"
"Good afternoon, President Shi!"
"Miss Shi, you're finally here at the company."
Hearing that distinctly different tone, it had to be those few mischievous pranksters.
They were also the most talented individuals in the design department.
Seeing the company thriving, Shi Xinxin felt a surge of relief.
"Are you encountering any design problems, or are there issues in your lives?"
Shi Xinxin chatted with them without any airs.
"We just simply missed you."
The group playfully said this, laughing and roughhousing with each other.
Shi Xinxin plonked herself down in the swivel chair they had prepared for her.
"I encountered some unpleasant things today."
"I went to see a friend, and a stranger took photos of me out of the blue. Although I don't know what she intends to do with them, and I'm not worried about what she can do, it's still annoying."
She rubbed her temples.
"But it's nothing," Shi Xinxin quickly composed herself.
"By the way, regarding our company's promotion, do any of you have any ideas today?"
Upon hearing Shi Xinxin inquire about work matters, they all became serious.
"Our first battle must be a grand one, so I suggest we hire a celebrity with high fame and reputation. Once the cooperation news is released, it will immediately grab people's attention!" A staff member specializing in planning immediately reported their idea to Shi Xinxin.
"Hiring a celebrity is easy, but I believe we should increase our efforts and investment in ground promotions. With our posters everywhere, such a grand display, people will see our brand wherever they go. I don't believe our brand won't be promoted," another head from the operations department chimed in.
Shi Xinxin nodded in agreement. "Good, the methods you've come up with are the most direct and effective promotional strategies."
"How about this: since we want to establish ourselves in the domestic market, let's adopt a dual approach. The planning department will be responsible for this brand promotion, we will hire an endorser, and we will also do ground promotions. Regarding who to hire as an endorser, I think we should choose someone whose temperament and status align with our products. The operations department should quickly provide some candidates, and we will discuss them thoroughly then."
"Understood!" The department heads nodded.
"You guys discuss the endorsement matters first. We can also discuss whether to invite a celebrity or a public figure."
Shi Xinxin propped her chin on her hand. Although she felt hiring a celebrity might not be cost-effective, she had to admit it was a good promotional strategy.
However, options with lower costs and less traffic were perceived as small brands by the youth.
Options with higher costs and more traffic carried risks, and moreover, their schedules wouldn't wait for the CL brand's promotion to begin.
This matter still required careful consideration and further discussion. For the stable development of the company, it was better to proceed with caution.
