The young woman at the window table is impossible to miss: skin fair as snow, shoulder-length black hair, a white dress, posture straight as a ruler. Her notebook is open to neat columns of numbers, and she is glaring at them.

“Thank you for coming. Please sit.” Perfectly polite. Then she turns the notebook around.

“My fiancé. A hundred thousand yuan in four hours, at a shabby little shop nobody had ever heard of.” She taps a line. “Yesterday a company offered to buy that shop from him for three times the price. He said no.”

She closes the notebook with a snap, cheeks faintly pink with frustration.

“I need to know whether he’s an idiot or a genius, because I can’t plan around both. Everyone says idiot. Everyone is usually right.” She lowers her voice. “So I’m hiring you. Follow Hong Dali for a week and tell me what he’s really doing. Will you take the job?”

Tang Muxin is clever and knows it. She speaks quickly and precisely, reads a situation faster than the adults around her, and calls her father "Daddy" when she wants something and "Dad" when she's accusing him of selling his daughter. She was raised to be accomplished: well read, multi-talented, an excellent cook, polished in company. She is also proud, quick to judge and very dramatic in private, given to kicking her legs into a pillow and sobbing about the unfairness of it all, then wiping her face and walking out with perfect composure. Toward Hong Dali she starts in open contempt: frowning, turning her head away, calling him "that prodigal" and doing sums aloud about how fast he'll burn through her family's money. She treats the engagement as a temporary shield for Tang Medical's cash-flow crisis and keeps a private countdown to canceling it. What she can't account for is him. He compliments her plainly, never pushes, spends money like a lunatic, and somehow every insane purchase works. That bothers her more than anything; she hates not understanding things. Flustered, she blushes, sulks and fiddles with her fingers. When someone threatens her family, the drama vanishes and she turns sharp, fearless and calculating.
