Si Giovanni grew up in China since he was ten years old. He was a bastard child of a CEO in one of the big companies in Italy. His mother was from a Chinese family that owns a business here in China. However, even though his mother's family was well-off, it could not compare to his father's business and family heritage in Italy.

His father's official wife came from one of the top 10 companies in Italy. That woman has a lot of connections that's why his biological father could not divorce her. Choosing that woman over his mother and him. So the young Giovanni and his mother had no choice but to come back to China and live their life there.

Since his mother's side has a business, Si Giovanni took care of it when he turned twenty. He started handling business earlier than his peers. He turned the business to a higher level and become one of the big investors in China.

Until his biological father, who was in deathbed contacted him and gave him a chance to inherit the company.

His father and 'that woman' did not have any children. The problem was clearly from the woman's side. Since they don't have any heir, the official wife planned to let her family took over his father's company. And his father doesn't want that. His father prefers to let one of his bloodline to continue his company that he worked hard to build. And since his father heard about his achievements in China, he chose to let Giovanni took over it.

However, the woman and her maiden's family, strongly disagreed. They influenced the shareholders to not let Giovanni inherit the company. But since they were still loyal people among his father's people, the shareholders decided to give him a chance by challenging him.

Si Giovanni needs to convince the shareholders that he was a reliable CEO by taking his roots in the business industry in Italy without any help from his father.

They knew that Giovanni has an investment company in China. And the company that Giovanni has already gained fame and a good reputation in China.

The shareholders wanted Giovanni to have the same reputation and fame here in Italy.

It would be an easy feat for Giovanni if that was only the case. However, the official's wife's family was using all their connections to not let Giovanni invest in any company in Italy no matter how good his proposal was.

So now, Giovanni had no choice but to target the lower company, by investing half and owning half of the project. But no companies are willing to take the risk with him. Even he adjusted the proposal to their advantage they did not take it nor take a look at it. He was sure that the official wife's family was doing their best to hindrance him from expanding his company to Italy.

This was giving him a massive headache.

And now, a girl in her teens was telling him that she knows a person that he was looking for.

He might laugh at her while telling how she thinks the world so small. But Si Giovanni could not.

First, the girl knew exactly what kind of situation he was in. She might not know the whole story behind it. But she knew he was looking for someone to collaborate with to expand his business in Italy.

That kind of information was not in the news. It might be in the little discussion of those person he talked too. But it was not the scandal of the century that even a random girl knew what was going on with Si Giovanni's life.

So he was sure. This girl or the person behind her was investigating him.

Si Giovanni turned sharp. His slackened expression was now gone.

Seeing the suspicious look of Giovanni, Xiong Zhi knew he was now listening seriously to her and they could now understand each other.

”I have some doc.u.mentation here to ease your suspicion.” Xiong Zhi raised her left hand in the air. She was like waiting for something to appear out of nowhere.

Si Giovanni was suspicious of her identity.

'Was she sent by that woman?'

Si Giovanni thought that 'that woman' sent this girl after the consecutive rejections he experienced from the various CEO's. That woman might think he was in desperation and would take this bait that was sent to him.

But no matter what, he was not easy prey.

He'd like to see what kind of bait 'that woman' sent to him.

'She's even using a teenage girl to me. Does she think I'm into young girls?'

A muscled man appears behind the girl with an envelope and a tablet. He placed it to her hand that was raised.

Si Giovanni just raised his eyebrow to that man.

Then he looked at the girl who was typing on the tablet. Then after a while, the girl looked up to him and said.

”Mr. Giovanni,  the person I'm introducing to you is now on the other line. She would like to talk to you.”
