“I can help Lingyun Enterprises, but I have one condition…”
Xiao Yufan knew Lan Tianyuan was also a smart man, so he got straight to the point without beating around the bush, failing to notice the brief flash of disappointment in Lan Yue’s beautiful eyes. She probably believed Xiao Yufan had come prepared all along.
“Do you think I have any other choice now? Not just one condition—even if you wanted Lingyun to become history, it wouldn’t be impossible…”
Lan Tianyuan naturally understood exactly what Xiao Yufan was thinking. Lingyun’s decline was precisely the best opportunity for Huihuang Enterprises. If Xiao Yufan didn’t seize this moment, he wouldn’t deserve the attention of the Beijing Club.
“Do I look like someone who would take advantage of others in their time of crisis?”
“Yes…” Lan Tianyuan didn’t hesitate even slightly, watching Xiao Yufan with an amused expression. This guy looked like a mastermind from every angle.
“Whether I seem like it or not, I can definitely help Lingyun Enterprises. If I’m not mistaken, Brother Lan must have consulted experts about the company more than once…”
Shaking his head, Xiao Yufan stared directly at Lan Tianyuan, his smile carrying a strange, inexplicable meaning. Behind every major enterprise, there would always be a Feng Shui master. Lingyun Enterprises must also have a Feng Shui expert safeguarding it.
The bigger the enterprise, the more one believes in Feng Shui, because it’s inherently real. Sometimes, even a small detail can affect the entire situation…
“You even know this much—no wonder you’re from the Situ family. Now you dare to say you didn’t come prepared? Not even you would believe that anymore!”
Lan Tianyuan’s expression darkened, feeling somewhat displeased at being seen through so thoroughly. At this moment, even if he wanted to lose his temper, he felt powerless to do so.
“I’m just looking at things through my own perspective. What you think doesn’t really matter to me…”
Unwilling to dwell further on the issue, Xiao Yufan could only shrug helplessly. If Lan Tianyuan didn’t want his involvement, he wouldn’t bother to intervene. Besides, he was convinced that unless the Feng Shui formation was resolved, even if Lingyun managed to survive this crisis, there was no guarantee they’d be so lucky next time.
“Fine then, tell me—what do you want from me, or rather, from Lingyun Enterprises?”
Eventually, Lan Tianyuan chose to compromise. On one hand, since Xiao Yufan had already uncovered the truth, he had to seriously reconsider. On the other hand, at this moment, the only person he could turn to was Huihuang Enterprises—especially since Xiao Yufan was his younger sister’s boyfriend. At least with that connection, Xiao Yufan wouldn’t likely swallow Lingyun whole.
“Step out of the Beijing Club!”
“Absolutely impossible! Even if Lingyun hadn’t encountered any problems, I wouldn’t have left the Beijing Club. Let alone now, when Lingyun is stuck in a deadlock. Without the club’s protection, it would collapse completely in no time!”
Hearing Xiao Yufan’s demand, Lan Tianyuan nearly jumped up from his seat. Although Lingyun Enterprises seemed prosperous in the Beijing business world, without the Beijing Club’s protection, it wouldn’t have made it this far. For Xiao Yufan to ask him to leave the club now was tantamount to playing with fire.
“Do you still think the Beijing Club will continue to be Lingyun’s shield? Even as the club’s vice president, what difference does it make? If one day Lingyun is no longer so prosperous, won’t it just end up serving someone else’s interests?”
“So what if it ends up serving others? How can I be sure that the young master of the Situ family won’t have even greater ambitions than the Beijing Club?”
“In that case, I have nothing more to say!”
Xiao Yufan could only helplessly shake his head at Lan Yue, though he clearly understood that although Lan Tianyuan had spoken that way, his inner thoughts must be different.
“One, two, three…” Xiao Yufan silently counted, confident that once he took a few steps away, Lan Tianyuan would change his mind. He had a pretty accurate grasp of the other’s psychology.
“Wait…”
Just as he reached the count of three, a resigned voice floated over. Xiao Yufan’s face subtly brightened, and a faint, imperceptible smile curled his lips.
