In front of the company building, the restless crowd suddenly fell silent, so silent that one could even hear the heavy breathing of each individual. It wasn’t just Qin Lou who stood frozen in shock; others were equally stunned, motionless in their places.
Xiao Yufan today wore a sleek black suit and gold-rimmed glasses, adding a touch of noble elegance to his presence. His handsome face bore an air of defiance, and his dazzling, faint smile carried an indescribable aura of seductive eccentricity.
“How could this be possible? How could he be the heir to the company…”
After the initial shock, Qin Lou’s heart sank like ice. Scenes from a few days ago flashed through his mind like slides, and he suddenly realized that his back was already soaked in cold sweat.
Qing Luan had originally been indifferent to this so-called heir, but when that figure appeared, her delicate body still trembled slightly, as if many previously inexplicable things suddenly made sense.
“So handsome! If he were my man, I wouldn’t mind sacrificing ten years of my life. But why does this person seem so familiar…”
The receptionist’s eyes sparkled with admiration. Xiao Yufan’s appearance always inspired fondness, especially considering everyone knew how terrifyingly powerful the heir to Huihui Group truly was.
“You’ve finally arrived, Master Yufan. We’ve been waiting for you…”
The middle-aged man, who held great prestige in Huihui, watched Xiao Yufan’s lips curl upward. He took a few steps toward the Bugatti Veyron and gestured politely, though his eyes revealed a hint of disdain.
Although Xiao Yufan was the son of the Situ family and the future leader of Huihui, compared to senior company veterans, he lacked not only experience but also management expertise. The company president himself doubted that Xiao Yufan could lead Huihui back to its former glory.
Seeing this reaction, Xiao Yufan could only shake his head with a smile. Indeed, entering the company as an heir would inevitably lead to many misunderstandings, but he would strike back with facts.
A year of training had equipped Xiao Yufan with management skills that likely rivaled those of executives with decades of experience. He was confident that, given three years, he would restore Huihui to its position as Beijing’s leading enterprise.
Ignoring the company president, Xiao Yufan fixed his gaze on Qin Lou. This man’s existence made him realize that Huihui still had major vulnerabilities. In the end, he should probably thank Qin Lou…
“Y…Yufan Master…”
No matter how arrogant Qin Lou usually was, he now understood the situation clearly. The son of the Situ family, the heir to Huihui—either identity alone could strip him of everything in an instant.
“Qin Manager, weren’t you the one who insisted on driving me out of Huihui…”
His smile was teasing, Xiao Yufan eyeing Qin Lou, his contempt clearly visible. This company parasite would eventually be removed, so he spoke without any reservations.
“Master Yufan, everything before was my mistake. Please forgive a petty person like me…”
“I’m just a petty person, not as noble as you claim. Some things, once done, must be faced. No one will pay for your ignorance!”
Xiao Yufan shook his head, cutting Qin Lou’s words short. Onlookers were equally startled—how could the heir to Huihui carry himself with such a gangster-like audacity?
Qin Lou’s face turned pale, his lips twitching, unable to utter a word. His heart had completely chilled. He could already imagine the storm that awaited him.
“Master Yufan has just taken over the company, perhaps unaware of some matters regarding Manager Qin…”
As the atmosphere grew awkward, a middle-aged man behind Qin Lou stepped forward. His words clearly showed strong bias toward Qin, indicating his stance.
“Are you teaching me how to handle affairs, or do you think I’ve gone too far?”
Without sparing any face, Xiao Yufan’s eyes barely flickered, his contempt growing even more evident. Clearly, this man was Qin Lou’s uncle, a senior figure within the company.
“I’m merely stating the facts. Although I don’t know what conflict occurred between you and Manager Qin, for the sake of the company…”
“Did you enter the company through nepotism and now tell me it’s for the company’s benefit? What are your true intentions? Do you think Huihui is a place for you to retire?”
Although Xiao Yufan smiled, everyone could sense the coldness beneath it. Even the current company president was somewhat surprised by Xiao Yufan’s boldness upon his debut.
The reprimanded middle-aged man furrowed his brows. As a senior figure in Huihui, he had never received such treatment before. Even the late Situ patriarch had never been overly harsh toward veteran employees.
However, having navigated the business world for so long, he clearly understood that this was not the time to confront Xiao Yufan head-on. As the new leader lit his first three fires of reform, he certainly didn’t want to be the first target.
Muttering a curse inwardly, he shot a disappointed glance at Qin Lou, puzzled about what exactly his nephew had done to provoke Xiao Yufan so intensely.
Seeing the older man wisely close his mouth, Xiao Yufan didn’t dwell further on the matter. Soon enough, Qin Lou would learn what it meant to cross him.
“And our HR department’s big beauty, did you dress so beautifully especially for me today…”
His gaze shifting, Xiao Yufan’s eyes finally landed on Qing Luan. Today, she wore a pink outfit that accentuated her stunning beauty, her attractive figure making it hard for any man to resist her allure.
“You’re such a fraud, always deceiving me. Why did you hide everything from me? Are you really that happy deceiving me…”
As Xiao Yufan approached, Qing Luan’s eyes reddened slightly. After spending so many days together, he had even concealed his identity from her. She felt deeply wronged. If not for the presence of other colleagues, her temper would have already flared.
“I just wanted to give you a surprise. Don’t you remember what you promised me? You said that if I could do better in Huihui, you would…”
“You still bring that up? You’re going to die…”
Her anger instantly transformed into a coy pout. Qing Luan glanced around, a charming blush creeping onto her face…
