Faced with a deadlock, Lan Tianyuan felt utterly helpless. If he had known the root of the problem, he wouldn’t have felt so frustrated. But now, caught up in this confusing mess, he felt extremely annoyed.
Things had gone wrong unexpectedly, and Lan Tianyuan felt powerless, yet he dared not reveal any information, fearing that someone with ill intentions might take advantage of his misfortune. After all, matters in the business world were never simple.
Although outsiders viewed Lingyun and Fengyun as closely intertwined enterprises, Lan Tianyuan clearly understood that Fengyun, backed by the Qing family, was far superior to Lingyun, which had been built from scratch. The gap between them wasn’t merely about resources—it was also about the deep-rooted support from Beijing that had helped Lingyun reach its current state, an effort that couldn’t be explained in just a few words.
Therefore, Lingyun was more legendary compared to Fengyun. Yet even so, in everyone’s eyes, Lingyun’s potential still paled in comparison to Fengyun, especially since the entire Qing family stood behind Fengyun.

In contrast, Xiao Yufan seemed quite relaxed. Aside from spending a bit of time each day dealing with Qing Luan, he had little else to worry about.
In his splendid office, Xiao Yufan gazed through the glass at the entire district below. This feeling intoxicated him—he relished the sensation of ruling like a king, and he couldn’t help but close his eyes!
Xiao Yufan had imagined countless times—if not for fate, would he still be that penniless nobody today? Would everything he now possessed vanish like a reflection in a mirror or flowers on water?
No one could answer him. After everything he had experienced, every time he recalled these thoughts, he felt a sense of unreality—but only briefly. Sometimes, destiny was simply like that.
The air was so intoxicating that Xiao Yufan nearly dozed off. Just as his head began to droop, he suddenly sensed the door creaking open slightly. Slowly, he opened his eyes.
“Miss Qing, this is working hours. If you run around like this, should I deduct your salary?”
Seeing the approaching beauty, Xiao Yufan felt a headache coming on. This girl was indeed a handful—nothing he said seemed to affect her. As Qing Luan put it, “Hitting is affection, scolding is love.” Later on, Xiao Yufan simply gave up trying to reason with her.
“Why should I deduct your salary? Vice President Yu comes into your office all the time—why don’t you deduct hers?”
Unmoved by his words, Qing Luan glanced around the office and, seeing no one else present, finally relaxed her nerves. Although everyone in the company understood the nature of their relationship, she still felt a bit shy.
“That’s my woman. Why would I deduct her salary? If you were also…”
“Also what? Also your woman? Great! Perfect!”
Jumping on Xiao Yufan’s words, Qing Luan murmured to herself, nearly shocking him speechless. This girl not only remained unaffected by his teasing, but she had also learned to seize every opportunity.
Alright then, Miss Qing, what brings you all the way up here after so much trouble?
Xiao Yufan naturally didn’t believe Qing Luan had come just to chat—whenever she appeared, she always left him with a pile of messes to clean up.
“This time, it’s not me who wants to see you—it’s our little Yueyue at home…”
Playing with her long black hair, Qing Luan waved her hand toward the outside. Xiao Yufan hesitated for a moment, and then his heart suddenly skipped a beat…
