It was eight o'clock in the morning on the streets of Taibei. There were people coming and going and office workers walking quickly everywhere. Men and women were wearing formal suits and carrying briefcases. Their bright and beautiful clothes formed a wonderful contrast with the high-rise buildings beside them.

There were a few well-trimmed green trees planted in front of the building's courtyard, and an exquisite and classical fountain would spray beautiful arcs across the sky from time to time, softening the rigid lines of the building.

The building was located in the business center of the Taipei City and had a total of 35 floors. Although the company located in this building had only been established for five years, it had already occupied a place in Taiwan's high-tech industry. With the reform and innovation of the company's leaders, their tentacles had successfully expanded to Southeast Asia and the United States.

Ji Tianqing, who was only twenty-five years old, was the person in charge of this company.

With the proud title of an electronics upstart, Ji Tianqing could be said to be an influential figure in the electronics industry. He had been interested in computer design since he was a student. At the age of 20, he won the international software invention design award. In the same year, he founded an electronic technology company in Taiwan. Since then, he has become a legend in Taiwan.

At this moment, in the meeting room of the senior staff on the 30th floor of the building, Ji Tianqing was sitting in front of a long desk, listening to the staff briefing.

"The above is the proposal that our design department has drafted. Hong Kong has already found someone to start working on it. If it goes well, we should be able to start research and development by the end of the year.”

Secretary Cui Ting 'ai, who was sitting next to Ji Tianqing, was writing with her head lowered.

Ji Tianqing tapped the table with her fingertips and tilted her head to think for a while. Her young and handsome face had the reserved and calm look of a 25-year-old.

"Alright, you guys do as I say!"

Although she was only twenty-five years old, Ji Tianqing's decision-making ability was unquestionable. No matter how difficult the problem was, as long as she met him, she would be able to solve it. Her efficiency was so good and fast that the people who worked with him had to give her a thumbs up.

"If there's no problem, let's end the meeting!"

After the order was given, everyone quickly walked out of the meeting room, leaving only Ji Tianqing and Cui Ting 'ai who was writing notes seriously.

"Secretary Cui, what's my schedule today?”Ji Tianqing didn't stop and asked directly after everyone left.

Cui Ting 'ai browsed through the shorthand and answered quickly,"

"General Manager, your schedule today is relatively simple. Other than the lunch you promised to have with the boss of Yixing Electronic and the signing of the contract with Wei Da's representative at three in the afternoon, you don't have any other important schedule today.”

Ji Tianqing nodded and touched her chin subconsciously.

"Is there anything else?"

"Yes." Cui Ting 'ai glanced at the shorthand and began to report seriously.

Cui Ting 'ai was 35 years old this year. She used to work for Ji Tianqing's father, Ji Xiangteng. However, three years ago, Ji Xiangteng was too eager to get better and wanted to transform the trading company he had painstakingly established. Unexpectedly, he was harmed by a traitor. Not only did the company close down after half a year of transformation, but Ji Xiangteng also died of depression.

Before Ji Xiangteng died, he asked Cui Ting 'ai to help Ji Tianqing's company. Ji Tianqing initially refused, but later found Cui Ting' ai's ability was extremely outstanding and she did things in an orderly manner, so she decided to keep her by her side for two years.

"This is the focus of today's event.”Cui Ting 'ai quickly reported.

Ji Tianqing was always amused by how she did things.

"No more? I'll be leaving then."

"Wait a minute, General Manager."

Ji Tianqing stopped walking and sat on the desk with her arms crossed.

"Is there anything else? Secretary Cui?"

Cui Tingai had always been clear about work and private matters. She would never mention private matters in the office, which Ji Tianqing appreciated. In addition, she was the senior secretary of Ji Xiangteng, so the two of them were like siblings in private. Sometimes, they would joke with each other.

"Yes." Cui Ting 'ai revealed a rare smile and put down the notebook that she usually carried with her. "It's about Lady Tianyu."

"Tian Yu?" Ji Tianqing raised her eyebrows in confusion.

Ji Tianqing lost her mother when she was young and her father passed away three years ago. The Ji family only had Ji Tianqing and Ji Tianyu left. Therefore, Ji Tianqing had always doted on her delicate sister. As long as her request was not too harsh, as her brother, he would do his best to satisfy her.

"What's wrong with her now?"

Ji Tianyu looked weak, but she was not weak when she was angry or when she spoke. Sometimes, even Ji Tianqing could not do anything to her.

"Miss Tianyu's birthday is coming up.”Cui Ting 'ai reminded him.

Ever since she took over the position of Ji Tianqing's secretary two years ago, she had become a part of the Ji family's internal and external affairs. Other than Mother He and Uncle Fang, who were originally helping the Ji family, she was almost the third person to take care of all the trivial matters for the siblings.

Ji Tianqing's lips curled up slightly as she swayed her legs that were leaning against the table.

"I know that. Didn't you order a set of jewelry for me to give her as a birthday present? I remember this was last week.”

Cui Ting 'ai nodded. I did order a set of jewelry for Miss Tianyu last week.”

Ji Tianqing glanced at her. "Then what's the problem?"

"Of course there is." Cui Ting 'ai ignored his slightly angry tone and said,""Miss Tianyu called me last night and said that she changed her mind and didn't want the jewelry anymore.”

Ji Tianqing raised her eyebrows but didn't show her displeasure.

"That girl said she doesn't want it? Does she know how much that set of jewelry cost me?”

"Two hundred and forty-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine yuan.”Cui Ting 'ai answered for him fearlessly and added,""And it's even discounted."

"Oh?" Ji Tianqing's handsome face was expressionless. "Since that girl knew, why did she change her mind at the last minute? If I remember correctly, she was the one who asked me to buy that set of jewelry for her.”

"Miss Tianyu said that she had something else she wanted at the last minute, so she asked the general manager to return the set of jewelry.”Cui Ting 'ai calmly relayed Ji Tianyu's words.

"Is that girl playing with me?" His tone was low, but there was a smile on his face. "She told you what she wanted?”

Cui Ting 'ai held back her laughter." General Manager, you'd better ask Miss Tianyu yourself. Miss Tianyu pestered me on the phone last night, causing me to neglect my husband and child. I just got married two years ago, and I don't want to ruin this marriage so soon."”

Ji Tianqing could hear the obvious mockery in her words and she couldn't help but laugh,"

"Do you want me to give you a week's leave to accompany your husband?”

Cui Ting 'ai winked playfully. "Thank you, General Manager."

"I'll allow you to rest next year."

Cui Ting 'ai couldn't help but sigh in her heart when she heard that she had followed a boss who only knew how to blackmail employees.

"General Manager, there's nothing particularly important in the company today. Why don't you go back and talk to Miss Tianyu after you have dinner with the boss of Yixing Electronic? I'll call to return the jewelry, but I might not be able to get the deposit back.”

Ji Tianqing grinned. "Secretary Cui, thank you for your reminder.”

Cui Ting 'ai gave him an even brighter smile.

"You're welcome, General Manager."

In a luxurious villa on the outskirts of Taibei, the spacious front yard was filled with green plants and colorful flowers. Butterflies and bees fluttered in the air, forming a beautiful and charming scenery.

In a corner of the courtyard, there was a unique little world!! A swing made of vines was firmly fixed under a big tree. A hammock made of vines was hanging under a big tree on the other side. A few handmade wooden chairs were placed askew on the green grass, and a lot of snacks were scattered on the wooden table. It was as messy as it could be.

Ji Tianqing couldn't help but shake her head and sigh.

After a while, a crisp and sweet laughter was heard. Ji Tianqing looked towards the source of the sound and saw the playful and beautiful woman playing with the golden carp that was running around in the pool.

Ji Tianqing shook her head with a smile and focused on the woman in front of her.

The woman had an exquisite face like a porcelain doll, waist-length curly hair like a doll, and a pair of watery eyes. Coupled with her soft skin, she was so fair and beautiful that she seemed to only exist in the sky.

Seeing that she was having fun, Ji Tianqing smiled.

"Little girl."

Having been interrupted, Ji Tianyu pouted her red lips and looked up unhappily. But when she saw Ji Tianqing, she immediately ran into his broad chest excitedly and giggled like a child.

"Big brother."

Hearing her sweet voice, Ji Tianqing's heart melted. He stroked her curly hair and brought her back to the house with a smile.

As soon as she saw him return, Mother He immediately made him a cup of fragrant tea.

"Young Master, have some tea."

"Thank you, Mother He." Ji Tianqing nodded and smiled.”Then, he turned to Ji Tianyu who was sitting at the side. "Secretary Cui told me this morning.”

Ji Tianyu secretly stuck out her tongue. She knew that he had come back to denounce her, so she immediately rushed to say,

"Brother, I only have one birthday a year. Just let me have it! You can buy jewelry anytime, but what I want this time is not something you can buy casually. It's specially custom-made! I really want it!"

Ji Tianqing forced herself to keep a straight face." Don't you know that Secretary Cui has already ordered the jewelry set for you? Moreover, you personally appointed it.”

Knowing that she was in the wrong, Ji Tianyu pretended to be even more pitiful.

"I know that I was the one who ordered the jewelry, but I-I don't want it now! I bought all my jewelry from that store. I believe the manager won't make things difficult for me. It's not like he doesn't want the big fish, right?”

Ji Tianqing was helpless against her. "You!"

"Big Brother isn't angry anymore?"

Ji Tianqing sighed. "You're my only sister.”The meaning behind his words was obvious.

When Ji Tianyu heard this, she immediately cheered excitedly,

"I knew that big brother is the best to me. I really love big brother!”

Ji Tianyu coaxed and flattered Ji Tianqing.

"You said it yourself." Ji Tianqing reminded her seriously. "Secretary Cui has already returned that set of jewelry. I heard that the manager's face is very sour. If you say you don't want it now, don't ask me to buy that set of jewelry for you in the future. I heard that there are many people who want that set of jewelry.”

Ji Tianyu wrinkled his nose and snorted unhappily.

"Then what's there to be angry about? We are his regular customers! She usually bought so many pieces of jewelry from him. What did it matter if she returned one or two sets now?”

Ji Tianqing found it funny. "We're not the only regular customers.”

"So what?" Ji Tianyu shrugged. "If that store manager doesn't know how to appreciate favors, we might as well change stores. Anyway, they aren't the only jewelry store in Taibei.”

Ji Tianqing pinched her nose. "Don't talk as if you've been in society for a long time. You're just a kid.”

Ji Tianyu puffed up her cheeks in defiance. "I'm not a brat!"

"Is that a naughty ghost?"

Ji Tianyu snorted and tugged at his sleeve.

"I don't care, I don't care! Big brother, I can give up that set of jewelry, but I must have this thing. This thing is limited edition! Even if you have money, you might not be able to buy it, but I really like it. I fell in love with it from the first time I saw it. You have to find a way for me!”

"Don't tell me you're interested in some global limited edition watch or gown again?”Ji Tianqing wanted to embarrass her.

Ji Tianyu blushed in embarrassment. "Big Brother, don't make me sound like I'm a prodigal. You know that I usually don't even look at these things. It's just that I always want some special gifts for my birthday, so I asked you to buy them for me.”

This was not bad.

Ji Tianqing smiled and raised her hand. "Alright, alright, alright. Just take it that big brother said something wrong, okay? You're indeed not a prodigal. It's just a small prodigal.”

When Ji Tianyu heard this, she shouted angrily,"Big brother!"”

Ji Tianqing laughed. "Big Brother won't tease you. Tell me! What exactly is it that you have been longing for?”

Ji Tianyu blinked playfully, her eyes flashing with a glint.

"I want a pair of glass shoes, the only pair of transparent glass shoes in the world.”

Teach him where to find a pair of glass slippers?

Tian Yu's request really stumped him.

According to Tian Yu, the 12 pairs of glass shoes were prizes for an event organized by the well-known " Love Hotel " in Taipei-based. The 12 pairs of custom-made glass shoes were given to the 12 female customers.

In order to fulfill her wish, he had tried every means to find out about the twelve female customers from the Love Hotel. However, the heavens did not allow it. The Love Hotel had always kept the data of the guests extremely confidential, so no matter how hard he tried, he could not find any clues.

"So, this is the content of our cooperation.”

Ji Tianqing's mind was filled with this matter, and she was relieved when she was discussing business with the client.

"CEO Ji, what's wrong?"

Ji Tianqing suddenly raised her head." General Manager Fang, do you know where I can find glass slippers?"”

His sudden question stunned the other party.

"Glass shoes?"

"Yes, glass shoes. Glass shoes that can be worn.”

"Uh…I don't really know much about women's stuff, but I can get someone to keep an eye out for you. Who wants it?"

Ji Tianqing didn't answer and asked again,""Have you heard of Love Hotel?”

"Of course I have." This time, his tone was firm. "Not only have I heard of it, but I also know about it! It's a well-known hotel in Taibei. Even foreign guests or movie stars who come to Taiwan would want to stay there. I heard that it's a well-equipped five-star hotel. My wife often says that she wants to stay there for a few days to enjoy their imperial service!”

He had never heard of such a famous restaurant. It seemed that he was really outdated, Ji Tianqing thought to herself.

"Why is CEO Ji asking this?"

"The glass shoes were given to me by this restaurant.”

"That's strange. Every time there's any news about Love Hotel, my wife will definitely tell me. Why didn't she mention it this time?”

Ji Tianqing frowned. "Where is Love Hotel?"

"Oh, right there…"

Ji Tianqing immediately stood up and held his hand.

"General Manager Fang, thank you for this breakfast. We've decided on this collaboration. I'll ask my secretary to contact you for the details another day.”

Ji Tianqing casually grabbed her suit jacket and tugged at her tie after she stepped out of the restaurant. However, she didn't know that her actions attracted the attention of the women passing by.

"Wow, that man is so handsome!"

"He looks like a celebrity!"

"He's tall enough and has a good physique. He's too perfect.”

Ji Tianqing completely ignored the exclamations and took out her phone from her pocket. She told Xiao Chen, the driver who was still waiting for her,"

"Xiao Chen, don't wait for me. Go back to the company first! I'll go back by myself later."

After saying that, he casually threw his phone back into his pocket.

"Girl, you really gave big brother a difficult problem! Glass shoes, where do you want me to find a pair of glass shoes for you?”

He walked along the street, sometimes frowning and pondering, sometimes pausing to think. Little did he know that behind him was a group of infatuated women who were already charmed by him.

"Oh my god! He was really handsome! If he can look at me, I can die in peace.”

"That's right! I really want to talk to him. Even if it's just one sentence, I'm willing to say one sentence!”

"Then let's go together!"

The girls gathered their courage and walked towards Ji Tianqing.

Seeing them, Ji Tianqing frowned and said,"

"What's the matter?"

As soon as he said that, an earth-shattering scream immediately sounded.

"Oh my god! His voice was so magnetic! It's just as I imagined. No, it's even better than I imagined. I'm so happy.”

"Me too, me too. How could there be such a perfect man? He looks so handsome when he frowns!"

Ji Tianqing listened to them talking non-stop and finally, her face darkened. "What exactly are you guys trying to do?"

The girls pushed each other shyly. The screams and praises from before had long disappeared.

"May, may I know your name?”

Ji Tianqing frowned.

"Can, can I shake your hand?"

Ji Tianqing pulled a long face.

"Can, can I ask you to help me sign?”

Ji Tianqing glanced at them and said coldly,"

"Miss, firstly, I'm not familiar with you, so it's inconvenient for me to tell you my name. Secondly, I'm not a celebrity, so I don't need to shake hands or sign autographs. If there's nothing else, please move aside and don't block me. I still have very important things to do.”

The girls did not expect to be rejected so coldly. They were stunned for a moment before they hugged each other and cried.

"What? Who did he think he was? Is it so great to be handsome?"

"That's right! He's not a celebrity, so why do we need his autograph?”

"We must be blind to think that he's so handsome. Hmph, let's go!”

In the end, a few girls flew into a rage out of humiliation. They glared at him and ran away angrily.

Ji Tianqing shook her head with a smile and fell into deep thought again.

"I think I might as well make a trip to Love Hotel myself.”

However, as soon as he turned the corner, he was stunned.

A pair of glass shoes, a pair of glass shoes that he had been looking for for nearly two weeks, was placed in the transparent window not far ahead!

Ji Tianqing was shocked. He walked to the transparent window.

"I found it, I really found it!"

He stared at the glass shoes in the display window without blinking. The shock in his heart was greater than the surprise. The glass shoes suddenly emitted a strange light, but the light immediately shot into the sky and disappeared in an instant.

"What's going on?" Ji Tianqing rubbed her eyes in disbelief.

For some reason, he had a strange feeling when he saw the pair of transparent glass shoes that were glowing with green light. He shook his head hard, trying to clear his mind. However, when he saw the pair of glass shoes again, he was unconsciously mesmerized.

"This pair of glass shoes is really beautiful!"

He could not help but reach out his hand, wanting to touch the glass shoes. Just as his hand was about to touch the transparent window, a pair of hands reached out from the other side of the window. It was a pair of slender, soft, fair, and flawless pink hands.

It was a pair of woman's hands!

Ji Tianqing was shocked. She raised her head and saw a face that was also raised.

It was a woman's face, a beautiful face!#
