For several consecutive days, the atmosphere at Huizheng Corporation had become extremely tense. Whether ordinary employees or top executives, everyone was on high alert with full concentration.
Everyone was well aware of Huizheng’s potential. Backed by the powerful Situ family, simply its formidable background was enough to deter many from even daring to challenge it…
Huizheng faced economic barriers it had yet to breakthrough; the reason it had not progressed was merely due to the lack of a truly core leader. Although Huizheng’s revenue alone was enough to make anyone envious, the Situ family’s wealth was such that they didn’t particularly care about it.
Everyone knew the heir to Huizheng’s future would soon step into the company. Every ambitious young employee was eager to show their skills, so the entire corporate atmosphere was unprecedentedly intense…
“Look at you, loafing around all day without even trying to impress. Once the heir arrives at Huizheng, there’s definitely going to be a storm. You’re still so new here—you mustn’t get kicked out!”
“Loafing around?” Xiao Yufan was first taken aback by Qing Luan’s comment, then his expression turned into a slightly amused smile. Seems like this girl really thought he was just another spoiled brat…
“Isn’t that exactly what you’ve been doing? Other than flirting with female colleagues, what else have you done? I really wonder how Vice President Yu manages you…”
Covering her lips lightly, Qing Luan’s beautiful eyes revealed a hint of unusual blush. She had thought that with time passing, her initial fondness would gradually fade. But instead, she found herself increasingly drawn to Xiao Yufan, no matter how ordinary he might seem. It was as if there was some kind of magic pulling their hearts closer together…
“At least I’m an elite in the planning department. Unless the heir has been kicked in the head by a donkey or squashed by a door, there’s no way they’d ever get rid of me. I’m simply too charming and talented to be gone!”
“Alright, alright, stop bragging like Old Wang selling his own melons. But with Vice President Yu around, I believe you won’t have any problems…”
Used to Xiao Yufan’s usual irreverence, Qing Luan’s lips curved into a seductive and teasing smile, drawing glances from many around. Beauty always stood out wherever it went…
At that moment, Xiao Yufan suddenly heard a commotion. Slowly shifting his gaze toward the gathering crowd, he spotted Lin Pingyue’s figure, who looked particularly desolate.
“Lin Pingyue, I’m sorry, I…”
In the crowd, a beautiful woman was now leaning against another man, her face showing a trace of regret upon seeing Lin Pingyue…
“So this is your ex-boyfriend? How could my woman have such bad taste, allowing such a man to stay by your side? Don’t you think that’s beneath you?”
Before Lin Pingyue could speak, the young man leaning against the sports car revealed a look of disdain. Gently lifting the woman’s chin, his expression grew even more mocking…
“Brother Hong… let’s go. What happened between Pingyue and me is in the past. I don’t want to…”
The beautiful woman looked at Lin Pingyue’s self-mocking expression and suddenly felt a pang of pain in her heart. She knew how much he had sacrificed for her, but she didn’t want to be poor forever.
“Brother Hong… hehe…” Lin Pingyue’s eyes were hollow. He still remembered those days when this woman, the love of his life, used to follow him around, calling him their special pet name.
“Are you still holding feelings for him? If so, you might as well continue living that hard life with him. You should know I don’t like having other men in my woman’s heart…”
A slender finger struck the delicate face like jade. The man looked at the woman like a plaything. Indeed, no matter how beautiful she was, to this kind of spoiled rich kid, she was merely a toy.
“I really didn’t mean that. I just don’t want to… don’t want to see him anymore…”
The stinging pain made the woman’s voice tremble, but she dared not show any dissatisfaction. Because only by constantly pleasing this man could she maintain her luxurious lifestyle.
“Is that really the case? I hope you’re not lying to me…”
Although the man was smiling, in the woman’s eyes, it was like a demon’s grin. Her slender body involuntarily shivered, and she could only nod slightly. She knew this man’s methods too well…
“Did you hear that? You’re no longer good enough for her. Stop following my woman like a hound, or I’ll make sure you’ll never hold your head up again!”
Laughing arrogantly, the man glanced at the desolate Lin Pingyue, a sense of superiority surging within him. He very much enjoyed this feeling of trampling others underfoot, as if only this could satisfy his vague vanity.
“As a reward tonight, let’s try another position. How about that?”
Seeing Lin Pingyue’s pale profile, the man turned back and lifted the beautiful woman’s chin again, his smirk unfathomable, his words once again striking the most tender part of Lin Pingyue’s heart.
“Mm, as long as we leave here first, I’ll do whatever you want…”
It was clear from her voice that the woman was begging. Hearing this, Lin Pingyue’s heart completely turned cold. He had never imagined a day would come when the woman he loved most would become like a courtesan, selling her body and soul.
“Just for being so obedient today, I won’t hold a grudge. My woman isn’t something trashy people can touch…”
“Yeah, a woman like that only someone as useless as you deserves!”
Before the man could finish, a slightly deep and mocking voice directly cut through. Everyone watching was somewhat curious, wondering who dared to speak out at this moment.
“Who the hell are you? Do you even have the right to speak here? Are you even an employee here?”
“Why must someone like you bark around here? There are just too many self-important people!”
Xiao Yufan strode directly into the crowd. Lin Pingyue cast him a grateful glance. At this moment, Xiao Yufan’s appearance indeed eased his embarrassment.
“You’re looking for death?” Unexpectedly, someone had stepped in. The man’s eyes flashed coldly. In his view, Xiao Yufan’s confrontation was merely asking for trouble.
“I didn’t mention you, did I? Why are you taking it personally? Could it be you admit to barking like a dog here?”
The disdainful tone carried a touch of arrogance. After Xiao Yufan spoke, the entire space’s atmosphere abruptly changed…
