Chapter 171: The Maiden Qingluan

The staff cafeteria of Huisheng Enterprise occupies an entire floor, and working here can definitely be considered a pleasure…

As Xiao Yufan walked in, he became the center of attention for everyone, which left him feeling rather exasperated. Lin Pinle, understanding the situation, wisely chose to stay silent, fearing that speaking up would unleash a storm of complaints from Xiao Yufan.

“President Yu is over there; should we go say hi?”

As soon as they appeared in the cafeteria, Lin Pinle and Xiao Yufan’s gazes locked onto two figures in the corner—none other than Yu Yihan and Qin Menglu. However, judging from Yu Yihan’s slightly unnatural blushing face, something was clearly amiss.

“You go if you want. Don’t you think today’s been chaotic enough? Can’t you just leave things be for once?”

Before Lin Pinle could finish speaking, Xiao Yufan cut him off directly. This guy was truly a troublemaker. The incident today had already stirred up a frenzy of gossip, and if he went over now, things would likely spiral even further out of control.

Instantly deflated, Lin Pinle reluctantly followed Xiao Yufan in the opposite direction—after all, it was partly his fault. However, his eyes lit up moments later when he noticed Xiao Yufan stopping in front of a beautiful girl…

“Hey, looks like we meet again…”

“Oh please, it’s only been half a day. Can’t you at least try to be a little more impressive with your flirting?”

Without even glancing up, Qingluan’s delicate eyebrows slightly furrowed at the sound of Xiao Yufan’s voice, but a playful curve formed on her lips as she replied with a teasing tone.

He got a complete rejection, leaving Xiao Yufan visibly embarrassed. Lin Pinle, trying hard to suppress his laughter, was witnessing Xiao Yufan’s rare defeat, and the opponent was none other than a very attractive girl.

Others nearby couldn’t help but chuckle. Qingluan was somewhat of a beauty in Huisheng, and there was no shortage of men who admired her, many of whom had already been turned down by her. Driven by a twisted sense of satisfaction, some people secretly relished seeing Xiao Yufan being rejected.

“Beautiful lady, since there are so many people around, won’t you at least give me a little face? After all, we do share a certain connection, don’t we?”

“Like we’d have any connection! But I must admit, you’re definitely the most impressive person I’ve ever met. In just half a day, you’ve made yourself known to the entire company. Now, maybe the employees don’t even know who the CEO is, but they certainly know there’s a guy named Xiao Yufan in the Planning Department!”

Qingluan carefully examined Xiao Yufan, a faint blush appearing on her pretty face. Indeed, Xiao Yufan was undeniably handsome, making it easy for him to win people’s favor—and she was no exception…

“It’s not my fault I’m good-looking. As the saying goes, rumors spread fast, and I didn’t even know what hit me!”

“Is that so? Don’t you have any connection with Vice President Yu?”

With a mischievous wink, Qingluan’s beautiful eyes shifted toward Yu Yihan’s direction, clearly lost in thought. Her question caught Xiao Yufan off guard.

“Except for my woman, I usually don’t share my secrets with anyone. Unless… you want to become my woman?”

“Pfft… Don’t be so full of yourself…”

Qingluan’s coquettish expression drew subtle glances from the surrounding crowd. This girl was undeniably one of the beauties of the company, and every male employee was mentally screaming in frustration. They had never seen her so familiar with any man before.

Meanwhile, in the corner, Yu Yihan and Qin Menglu silently watched Xiao Yufan, their thoughts unreadable. However, Yu Yihan’s icy aura was unmistakable.

“Brother Fan is really amazing, flirting right in front of us! Just wait until I get home—I’ll tell Jiayao and we’ll team up to protest, refusing to let him sleep with us!”

Qin Menglu pouted with a feigned angry look, resembling her old self, playfully teasing Xiao Yufan. If he had been nearby, he would have been amused by her antics.

“His constant flirtations are all your doing. If we keep letting him off like this, who knows how many more ‘sisters’ we might end up having…”

Yu Yihan gently tapped Qin Menglu’s forehead, exasperated. This girl’s thinking was truly beyond conventional understanding.

“Why are you blaming me? It’s not like it’s my fault…”

Rubbing her forehead, Qin Menglu kept her eyes fixed on Xiao Yufan, secretly anticipating what might happen between him and this woman who had managed to give him a taste of defeat…
