Chapter 42

n
nA familiar profile picture and name appeared in the group chat.
nHe scrolled upwards and saw The Pianist’s sentence that this was “Ji Silin’s little sister.” He paused.
nHalf a beat later, he burst out laughing and continued scrolling down.
n
n
nHe then realized that the last message the little kid sent was a greeting message from five minutes ago. It laid there blandly with no reply.
nHis eyes darkened.
nEveryone in the group was obstinate and overbearing. As moguls in each of their own fields, it was understandable that they were this haughty.
nBut how could he let his little kid suffer any grievances?
n
n
n…
nAfter a full five minutes, there was still no reply in the group.
nZhou Zhou was assembling his inner thoughts and wanted to ask Xue Xi to leave the group without hurting her pride. Alas, before he could speak, his private messages were in an uproar again:
n“What’s the situation? What is her background exactly?!”
n
n
n“Who exactly is she?”
n“Is she some hidden mogul?”
n“Don’t hide her identity from us any longer!”
nZhou Zhou: “?”
nTotally perplexed, he scrolled through everyone’s replies and spotted a new message in the group chat. Someone had sent a message?
nWith this question in mind, he opened the group chat and saw—
n
n
nDo Not Disturb: “Welcome to the group. Let’s learn from each other.”
nZhou Zhou was totally flabbergasted that this person had appeared. He almost dropped his phone when he saw that totally black profile picture.
nOne must know that this person had only ever spoken twice ever since he set up the group chat.
nIn addition, every time after he spoke, there would be one less member in the group the following day. In reality, they also never heard of the person’s news ever again.
nElites and talents like them, who stood at the apex, were all very influential people in reality. However, those two had totally disappeared with no known schedules. Everyone suspected that they might already be gone from Earth.
nAnd now!
nThe mogul spoke his third line, only to welcome Sister Xi into the group?
nWhy did no one else have such treatment ever since the set up of this group chat?
n
n
nZhou Zhou blankly raised his head to look at Xue Xi.
nHowever, the girl did not seem to feel any danger. She continued typing.
nLearning: “Thank you.”
nFollowing which, the big boss, who had only ever sent three messages to the group, sent his fourth message.
nDo Not Disturb: “You’re welcome. Let me know if you ever need any help.”
nZhou Zhou: “!!!”
nThis tone could no longer be considered as politeness. Why did it feel like that person was being ingratiating toward the girl instead?
nHe gulped and realized that the rest had set up another group with only 18 people.
nEveryone in the group was “@-ing” him, asking about the young lady’s background!
nZhou Zhou: “…”
nThe hell should I know!
nHe replied: “I only know that she is Ji Silin’s little sister. I don’t know anything else!”
nCen Bai: “Seems like someone formidable. No matter what, just get into her good graces first.”
n
n
nHence, everyone rushed to appear in the Moguls’ Group and replied earnestly:
n“A very warm welcome to you! Let me know if you have any questions regarding mathematics.”
n“A very warm welcome to you! You can look for me if you are interested in acting.”
n“A very warm welcome to you! You can look for me if you would like to order custom-made clothes.”
n“A very warm welcome to you! You can look for me if you want to learn how to cook. I provide free private menus.”
n…
n…
nThe group was instantly buzzing with activity.
nXue Xi was stifling a laugh. She slowly looked up. “Brother Silin, everyone is so welcoming. And the group manager doesn’t seem that scary. He is quite warm.”
nJi Silin: “…”
nZhou Zhou: “…”
nDid she not realize anything in the five minutes of silence?
nHer reaction time is so delayed!
nJi Silin rubbed her head again, helpless.
nIt was almost time for lunch and Ji Silin invited her along. She thought about it and informed Ye Li, deciding to stay.
nAfter they were done, the trio chatted before she had to leave.
nZhou Zhou was confused. “It’s the weekend. Why are you in a rush to go home?”
nXue Xi: “…To study.”
nZhou Zhou was dumbstruck. “Huh?”
nA person who is so talented at the piano is actually still a student?
nAfter Ji Silin had sent Xue Xi downstairs, he asked on behalf of the other 17 people in the group chat, “Who exactly is this young lady?”
nJi Silin’s warm eyes sparkled. He smiled and said, “Guess.”
nZhou Zhou: …Guess, your head!
nHe was about to speak again when his phone rang.
nHe answered, and the other party said, “Hello, Mr. Zhou, I am Liu Yiqiu. We agreed to meet in the afternoon. Do you still remember?”
nHe paused.
nIt was then that he recalled that it was the parent that had gone through many connections to get to him.
nHe reined in his comical self, straightened his body, raised his chin, and said in a cold and prideful tone, “Mhm. I do.”
n“That’s great. May I ask when you are free? And the venue of the assessment?”
nZhou Zhou thought for a moment. “You have a piano at home, right?”
nLiu Yiqiu was promptly surprised. “Yes, yes!”
nZhou Zhou: “Mhm. Then I’ll go to your house next week.”
nAfter hanging up the call, he then realized that the 18-people group had had a name change: “Who is the young lady?”
nZhou Zhou: “?”
nEveryone in the group was actively participating.
nCen Bai: “Is it Ji Silin and that person’s relative? Or is it another formidable existence?”
nFeng Xingshen: “She immediately said that she wanted to exchange pointers with me in Mathematics. I think I will need to meet her to see if she is a true mogul.”
nCen Bai: “Alright, Old Feng. Go test the waters first.”
n…
nWhen Xue Xi returned home, she found that the servants were currently doing a thorough cleanup.
nLiu Yiqiu meticulously ordered, “Wipe the windows there cleaner!
n“Are the desserts in the kitchen prepared? I’ll go take a look at each of them later and choose the best ones to use for the weekend.
n“Also, Mr. Zhou likes to drink fruit teas. Make some and leave it aside for this weekend…”
nXue Xi walked up without any sideway glances, returning to her room to practice more questions.
nAt this moment, she received a WeChat notification.
nShe picked it up and realized that it was a message from the Moguls’ Group.
nFeng Xingshen: “Young lady, are you good in mathematics? @Learning.”
nSeeing how passionate the rest of the people in the group were, she thought that it would be rude to be too cold to them. Hence, she replied: “Decent. Do you need any help?”
nFeng Xingshen: “Let’s add each other as friends. I’ll send you some references. Can you help me to prove this theory?”
nXue Xi paused. “Okay.”
nSoon, Feng Xingshen sent her a friend request.
nAfter she accepted it, she saved him as “Teaches Math.”
nFeng Xingshen then sent her a few relevant documents.
nShe did not open them immediately but replied: “I’m currently doing homework. I’ll take a look at them after I finish these few questions.”
nTeaches Math: “Alright.”
nShe exited the chat interface after this, then saw that a “1” had appeared at her friends list.
nWhen she clicked it open and saw a friend request, she was surprised.
n“Do Not Disturb” sent you a friend request via “Moguls’ Group.”
