After chugging down N glasses of water, Xiao Yufan finally emerged from the shadow of breakfast. Now he truly understood what torment meant…
Although he nearly sacrificed himself heroically, Xiao Yufan’s actions deeply moved Qin Menglu. A simple breakfast had somehow felt like attending a memorial service.
“Brother Fan, are you feeling better now? I didn’t expect those dishes to be that terrible!”
Looking at Xiao Yufan with added tenderness, Qin Menglu spoke with a hint of apology. She never expected her cooking to be so bad. Even though the food tasted like chewing on candle wax, Xiao Yufan still refrained from blaming her.
“Don’t worry, it’s just a meal. What serious illness could possibly come from that? Even if I did get sick, having the young miss cook for me personally would still be worth it…”
“You’re such a joker! If you like it, I can cook for you every day…”
“Better not. I… I… don’t want to tire you out!”
Xiao Yufan nearly had a breakdown. He could endure such torment once, but if it happened daily, he feared he might actually die from it one day.
Pu Yi Han couldn’t help but burst into laughter. Seeing the two of them acting like clowns, the atmosphere in the rented house quietly shifted. Seeing the icy beauty finally smile, Xiao Yufan couldn’t help but smile as well.
“There’s something I need to discuss with the CEO. Do you think that’s possible?”
After a long pause, Xiao Yufan brought up the matter regarding the Liu family. He already had a plan, but without Yu Yihan’s cooperation, his efforts would be in vain.
“Go ahead and speak. How would I know if it’s possible unless you ask first?”
Yu Yihan’s lips curled into a proud arc. She was acting uncharacteristically less cold, though her tone still carried impatience. Xiao Yufan could only chuckle awkwardly. He had long gotten used to her indifference; if she suddenly changed her personality, he might not even know how to adapt.
“I know who’s secretly targeting the company, and I also know their real target is me. Since the CEO has no intention of firing me, I’d like to help shoulder some of the company’s burdens…”
“Isn’t it the Situ family? What do you plan to do? If circumstances permit, I wouldn’t mind letting you redeem yourself!”
Yu Yihan raised her eyebrows, intrigued by Xiao Yufan’s words. Yesterday, Burgess had already told them the Situ family was causing trouble for the company. Could there be more to this?
“Just some young master from a minor branch family, hiding behind the Situ name. In reality, he’s just a dog in everyone’s eyes…”
With a cold smile, Xiao Yufan wasn’t the least bit worried about the Liu family now that he had his master’s full support. A small branch family wasn’t even worth his attention. Since he planned to deal with the Liu family, he naturally intended to go all out.
“A minor branch family?” Xiao Yufan’s words furrowed Yu Yihan’s brows. She wasn’t sure exactly what a minor branch family entailed, but judging from Xiao Yufan’s confident demeanor, he clearly had everything figured out.
“This minor branch family is the Liu family. Because they have some connection with the Situ family, they’ve deluded themselves into thinking they’re part of the Situ clan. As for my condition to redeem myself, I’d like to temporarily borrow your CEO position…”
Carefully observing Yu Yihan’s expression, Xiao Yufan knew this request sounded excessive. But besides this method, he couldn’t think of any other way to win without a fight. If Yu Yihan refused to cooperate, he’d have to find another approach.
“The Liu family… still as despicable as ever…” A flash of coldness flickered in Yu Yihan’s eyes. Clearly, she wasn’t on good terms with the Liu family either. But now Xiao Yufan had no interest in their feud. His only goal was to deal with the Liu family.
“If you can really strike at the Liu family, letting you borrow the CEO position for a couple of days isn’t a big deal!”
Just when Xiao Yufan thought this matter was unlikely to succeed, Yu Yihan finally spoke. Her words immediately sparked his interest. He never expected the beautiful Miss Yu to agree so readily.
“Really? Aren’t you afraid I might try to seize control of the company? You know, the CEO position holds considerable power…”
“If you dare try that, I wouldn’t mind making you homeless!”
Yu Yihan had initially looked fierce, but when she finished speaking, even Qin Menglu couldn’t help laughing. The words sounded so ambiguous, and a faint blush appeared on Yu Yihan’s delicate face.
Xiao Yufan was first startled, then could only chuckle and click his tongue. Yu Yihan was like a shape-shifting witch. Right now, he couldn’t begin to fathom her thoughts. Truly, a woman’s heart was as unfathomable as the ocean’s depths…
…
Regarding the Liu family matter, Xiao Yufan had already devised a plan. As long as the company was temporarily transferred to his name, his grandfather could have his companies establish connections with Yu Yihan’s company. This would certainly deal a significant blow to the Liu family.
The Liu family was merely a branch of the Situ family, while Xiao Yufan was the genuine Situ heir. The Liu family surely knew his identity well. He believed that once his master handled the company matters, the Liu family would definitely become anxious.
If it came to managing the company, Xiao Yufan might still lack some experience. But when it came to scheming, he was definitely not an easy opponent. From the beginning, the Liu family had chosen the wrong target to suppress.
Xiao Yufan knew that under his grandfather’s name, there wasn’t just one company. Indeed, within just two days, several companies had already established cooperative relationships with the company transferred to Xiao Yufan’s name.
While these relationships couldn’t directly impact the Liu family’s businesses, they made the Liu family extremely uncomfortable. No business could operate in isolation. Cutting off their cooperation with other companies was like severing the wings of their industry.
Many people didn’t understand the company’s situation and were greatly surprised by Xiao Yufan’s sudden rise. Numerous sharp criticisms were directed at him. Xiao Yufan merely smiled without responding. After all, some people’s hearts would inevitably twist from envy and jealousy.
However, no matter how many people opposed Xiao Yufan, they couldn’t change anything. The company continued operating normally. Xiao Yufan patiently waited for results. He firmly believed the Liu family wouldn’t remain calm for long…
Business warfare wasn’t just about cutthroat competition in the marketplace; it was more about psychological tactics. Sometimes, once one’s composure was lost, the entire game was lost. Fortunately, Xiao Yufan had sufficient patience.
Finally, on the fifth day of this state, the Liu family finally showed some movement. Xiao Yufan knew his strategy had started to take effect…
