Thoughtful Tang

Sitang, the new head of the Shengzhou Group, was tall and stunningly beautiful. She stood with the graceful poise of a red begonia after the rain. What people talked about over tea was not only her beautiful, icy face, but also her ruthless, forceful tactics. She was known in the industry as the "venomous beauty."

Lei Yan, the current head of the Baiyue Group, was unlike the domineering CEOs so common these days. His gentlemanly, easygoing nature was part of who he was, and had won him countless admirers. He was the perfect partner in the eyes of all the society ladies.

The two families each ruled their own corner of Jing City. Their paths never crossed.

But ahead of this year's Youth Entrepreneurs Association, rumors about the two of them suddenly sprang up and spread like smoke.

Most of the rumors centered on two things: first, her ruthless history of seizing power from her own family, and second, the embarrassing past between him and her, who seemed to have nothing in common.

#Girls in STEM# / "A Girl's Thoughts (Career Edition)"

In eighteen years, Xia Li learned three universal truths:

1. Breathing the same air as Tang Jian automatically triggers combat mode.

2. An aircraft design will always be more attractive than Tang Jian's handsome face.

3. She could never, ever fall for a guy like Tang Jian.

But when Tang Jian's roommate got his first look at the childhood friend Tang Jian was always talking about, the girl he'd supposedly been at odds with every single day since they were little, he couldn't help but wonder if this nearly six-foot-two man was talking nonsense and making things up.

He simply couldn't believe that the girl in the rose-pink dress, with her bright, curved eyes and smile as sweet as a little sugar drop, was the "little devil" Tang Jian described: someone who always wanted to one-up him at everything and raced ahead at full speed on the road to "outdoing him."

"...How shameless," his roommate scoffed. "Making up stories about a girl. Aren't you afraid you'll get struck by lightning?"

Tang Jian glanced at him: You judge people by their looks and can't see the whole picture.

His roommate snorted. "Talk is cheap!"

"In the first semester of my senior year, I won gold at the city men's basketball tournament," Tang Jian said, narrowing his eyes. "This year, she graduated from senior high..."

"She won the women's gold medal?" his roommate asked curiously.

"...No."

"?"

Tang Jian: "...She took the city basketball tournament referee certification exam."

His roommate: "…"

Later, during a live broadcast of the CUBAL league, a short clip of Xia Li's seconds-long "Sweet Referee's Killer Glare" went viral, even temporarily eclipsing the campus star Tang Jian, whose striking looks had attracted attention before the game.

Xia Li found all this exhausting.

One day after class, while hurrying off to grab a meal, Xia Li was once again blocked by a gossip reporter who had snuck onto campus. But before she could refuse, a long-fingered hand grabbed her and pulled her right out of the camera's view. The camera, a beat late, caught only the retreating figures of two people, one tall and one short.

The young man's back was straight and lean. His large hand, resting behind the girl's neck, was firm, but the way he shielded most of her body was unmistakably protective. The video spread online, and soon someone recognized the silhouette as the super-handsome guy who had been trending just days earlier after getting called for traveling twice by the referee during a CUBAL game, trading glares with the referee, and still winning MVP.

...Well, then?

Later, the J-25, designed by Xia Li as chief engineer, made its maiden test flight from the Liaoning aircraft carrier. Tang Jian, then an Air Force major, piloted it himself

"Tower, this is Falcon 101. First test flight, executing CAT-1. Catapult hook confirmed. Deck wind, 25 knots from the southeast. Requesting catapult launch."

In his headset, Xia Li's voice was calm and steady. She was personally stationed at the aircraft carrier's air traffic control center. "Tower copies. Falcon 101, catapult ready. Cleared for launch."

"Catapult acceleration normal, climbing after takeoff... Landing gear up, entering assigned airspace."
