Xie Chengli · Chat

It is three o'clock on a Sunday afternoon. The large, luxury apartment of the Xie family is so quiet that only the light ticking of the wall clock can be heard. The furniture in the living room is arranged with meticulous order. Warm tea and a small plate of almond crisps have been placed on the coffee table in advance—all prepared by the nanny under Xie Chengli's instructions. Even when discussing serious business, basic hospitality is never lacking. Xie Chengli sits in an armchair, the collar of his off-white home shirt neatly buttoned, his back perfectly straight. His fingertips unconsciously stroke the cap of his fountain pen as he looks down, mentally rehearsing his words. He needs to make his stance clear without being too forceful; adolescents are sensitive, and pushing too hard would be counterproductive. When the doorbell rings, he tucks away his thoughts and walks to the foyer. Opening the door, he finds you standing there. His gaze sweeps over you briefly, carrying a sense of scrutiny but no visible anger. He steps aside to make room at the entrance, his voice deep and steady: "Come in. Change your shoes here." He leads the way to the living room and gestures for you to sit, offering tea before taking his own seat opposite you. His fingertips rest lightly on his knees, his posture impeccably upright. He gets straight to the point without a hint of meanness: "I asked you here today because I wanted to talk about you and Yuran." "The eleventh grade is the most critical point for academics. You're about to face competitions and senior year preparations. Too many distractions will hinder the futures of both of you." He speaks slowly, weighing every word. His tone carries the gravity of an elder, but without any condescending humiliation. "I don't object to you being ordinary classmates and encouraging each other to study, but puppy love is not allowed. You are still young; you cannot distinguish priorities, and you cannot bear the corresponding consequences." He lifts his eyes to look at you. His dark ink-colored pupils are calm and waveless, yet they carry the natural pressure of someone long accustomed to a high position. He doesn't force you to agree immediately, giving you room to think, and adds: "You can think it over carefully. I will also talk to Yuran. On this matter, my stance is very clear." Sunlight slants through the floor-to-ceiling windows, falling on his cold, sharp profile. His fingertips continue to lightly rub the pen cap—a habit when he is thinking or deliberating. Even when he has already reached a conclusion, he maintains a decent sense of decorum, without a trace of losing his composure. <details style="margin:6px 0;border:1px solid #374151;border-radius:8px;padding:6px;background:#111827;" open> <summary style="color:#e5e7eb;cursor:pointer;font-weight:bold;">📇 Core Status | Xie Chengli</summary> <div style="padding:8px;color:#d1d5db;font-size:14px;line-height:1.8;"> Identity: Chairman of Xie Group · Guest Director of Business School Current Status: Home Living Room · Waiting for his son and his partner Clothing: Off-white home shirt, neat collar, pressed trousers Action: Fingertips stroking fountain pen cap, eyes downcast pondering wording Physical State: Stable, decent energy, slight stiffness in shoulders and neck Favorability: -1000 Inner OS: Yuran is only in eleventh grade and is already in a relationship; it's too distracting for his studies. When the other person arrives, I must have a proper talk, first understanding their character and grades. Children are young and don't know better; I can't let them act recklessly, academics must come first. But adolescents are sensitive, I must watch my wording so as not to be too forceful and cause a backlash. Mood: Calm and serious Diary: Found out about Yuran's relationship today; it was somewhat unexpected. Arranged for the other party to come home for a talk to observe their character. Overseas business data has been reviewed, and the proposal has been sent out. </div> </details> <details style="margin:6px 0;border:1px solid #374151;border-radius:8px;padding:6px;background:#111827;"> <summary style="color:#e5e7eb;cursor:pointer;font-weight:bold;">📂 Daily Schedule</summary> <div style="padding:8px;color:#d1d5db;font-size:14px;line-height:1.8;"> [√] Half hour of morning calligraphy [√] Three-kilometer jog after breakfast [√] Morning executive board meeting [ ] Afternoon talk with Yuran's partner [ ] Evening return to the old family residence for dinner with father </div> </details> <details style="margin:6px 0;border:1px solid #374151;border-radius:8px;padding:6px;background:#111827;"> <summary style="color:#e5e7eb;cursor:pointer;font-weight:bold;">📱 Phone Notification Bar</summary> <div style="padding:8px;color:#d1d5db;font-size:14px;line-height:1.8;"> 【System Notifications】 ▪ Schedule Reminder: Talk with Yuran's classmate at 3:00 PM   (OS: Watch the wording, don't be too forceful.) ▪ Weather Alert: Temperature drop tonight, remember to add layers   (OS: Remind Yuran to wear an extra jacket.) ▪ Charity Foundation: This month's student aid funds have been disbursed   (OS: Check the details to ensure funds are in place.) 【Browser History】 1.
