The swimming pool party at the Deep Blue Club was something Shen Wanci knew about every year. It was called a party, but in reality, it was a disguised matchmaking event for the children of wealthy families.

"Then I take the invitation and invite him to go swimming? He might think I'm some kind of pervert who wants to take advantage of him."

"It's nothing, think about it, you can still get another piece of meat?" Qin Yuezhi said nonchalantly: "Besides, isn't your goal to take him for a ride? Although it's a pool party, not everyone wears swimwear. Just find an excuse to lure him over first, then look for an opportunity to kick him into the pool, and it's done! Is his scar raised? If it really doesn't work, you can just reach out and touch it."

"This plan left Shen Wanci speechless. “That’s how things developed between you and Lawyer Huo?”

Qin Yuezhi hasn't slept well these past few days, and her temples have started aching. Now that she mentioned Huo Tingdong, the pain intensified. She held her head with both hands: "Please, don't bring this up. Huo Tingdong and I are just a misunderstanding."

Remembering the terror of being manipulated in the past, Qin Yuezhi couldn't help but shiver. She really didn't want to be caught by Huo Tingdong again to verify anything, so she said with a righteous face: "Lawyer Huo is upright and indifferent to worldly affairs, he wouldn't be interested in this kind of thing."

Shen Wanci was only joking with her, seeing her resistance, she smiled and skipped the topic.

Qin Yuezhi made a phone call, and within minutes, the invitation was ready.

At the same time, the people at the next table were also on the phone, their voices frivolous and carefree, sounding like a spoiled brat: "Are you sure you're not coming?"

"Just now, I heard a beautiful woman say that you're no good. Did you mess someone over?"

Qin Yuezhi frowned, leaning forward and lowering her voice to Shen Wanci, "This person really lacks refinement. Talking about such things in public and so loudly."

Shen Wanci: "..."

When you just told me to put my hand in Lu Yanchi's pants, you were this loud too.

Two people were whispering, when that wastrel got up and walked towards them. He directly handed his phone to Qin Yuezhi: “Miss, Lawyer Huo wants to talk to you about the sentencing standards for defamation and libel.”

Qin Yuezhi: “??”

"???"

Her head was full of question marks. As soon as she heard the three words "Lawyer Huo," she almost exploded, her eyes fixed on the screen at eye level, where four clear characters were displayed: "Huo Da Ma Wang."

The description is... quite apt.

Ho Tingdong's voice came from the receiver, not on speakerphone, a little soft but clear: "Qin Yuezhi."

Qin Yuezhi followed her gaze up from her phone and saw that rich playboy raise an eyebrow at her before pushing the phone closer to her face.

She took the phone with a look of tragic solemnity, explaining, “Mr. Hall, that’s not what I said.”

She repeated her words, "Your friend accused me."

"Do you have a recording?"

"Qin Yuezhi was stunned for a few seconds before she reacted. She meant that without a recording, there was no way to prove her words were true. This was clearly making trouble out of nothing and bullying others too much. Even mud figures have some humanity, let alone her who wasn't even a mud figure: " Huo Tingdong, I fuck your grandpa."

There was a few seconds of silence at the other end of the phone before Huo Tingdong said in a flat voice, "I don't have a grandpa."

Qin Yuezhi : "...."

Shen Wanci couldn't help it, she lowered her head, using the action of supporting her forehead to block her face, laughing uncontrollably.

Qin Yuezhi noticed her actions and glared over with displeasure: "If you're going to laugh, just laugh openly. Your shoulders are shaking like sieves, and you're trying to hide it? What's the point?"

She said that, Shen Wanci put her hand down: "I don't usually do that."

“Hmph,” Qin Yuezhi let out a non-serious hum towards her, throwing the phone she had hung up into the arms of the dandy who stood beside her, watching with amusement. She rolled her eyes at him without courtesy and then pulled Shen Wanci up: “Come on, go shopping, turn all this anger into the desire to shop.”

……

Three days before the pool party, Qin Yuezhi gave Shen Wanci the invitation.

The cover was deep blue, the inside was a light blue and white, and the content was normal. There wasn't a single word like "Pool Party," but anyone who often moved in Kyoto circles knew exactly what kind of party this was.

Actually, it was originally an ordinary blind date party, with no male or female models. But the popularity wasn't enough, and only a handful of people were invited each year. Later, they changed their approach, and suddenly there were many more people.

Shen Wanci fiddled with the invitation. Bo Rongxuan had already told her about Lu Yanchi's attitude and advised her not to look for him again.

She abruptly got up and strode toward the office door.

Let him have scars or not, she went to pull a handful of Lu Yanchi's hair to do a DNA test, wouldn't that confirm his identity? She didn't think of it last time at the coffee shop, and Lu Yanchi seemed not to have touched the coffee in front of him.

Shen Wanci drove to the Lu Group. She originally wanted to call Lu Yanchi directly and ask him out, but when she opened her phone, she remembered that she didn't have his number, let alone his WeChat.

She stood at the front desk: "Hello, I'm looking for your Mr. Lu."

"May I ask if you have an appointment?"

"No, I'm Shen Wanci, the assistant to the chairman of the Bo Group. I have something urgent to see him. Could you please give him a call and ask?"

The front desk's expression shifted slightly as she looked at Shen Wanci, politely refusing: "I'm sorry, Miss Shen. Mr. Lu specifically instructed that he will not see you or anyone from the Bo family. He also said there is nothing much to discuss between the two families."

Shen Wanci: “??”

This was still her first time being turned away at the door after officially joining Bo's company. She didn't feel embarrassed or awkward, just a little disappointed, her hair couldn't be pulled anymore.

She placed the invitation on the table, “Please give this to him.”

Although Lu told her not to see Shen Wanci, she didn't dare to handle the invitation privately. Not long after Shen Wanci left, she took the invitation to the top floor and handed it to Tang Qi: "Assistant Tang, this is Miss Shen from Bo's company, asking me to give it to President Lu."

Tang Qi glanced at the "deep blue" logo on the envelope, then turned his head and threw the invitation into the trash. “From now on, anything Miss Shen brings can be disposed of directly. There’s no need to bring it up.”
