Chapter 342: Eager to Inquire

Hualong Enterprise, the leading industry in Linjiang, ended up being acquired due to an unexpected bankruptcy. It was only because Lin Pingle seized the timing so accurately that such a golden opportunity fell into the hands of Huishao, an external enterprise.

Only a few people knew the truth—that the one who actually took over Hualong Enterprise was the prestigious Huishao Group from the capital city. Others simply believed that an outside enterprise had moved into Linjiang. For all Hualong employees, this was good news—at least they wouldn’t have to face unemployment.

When word spread that Xiao Yufan would be visiting the company, the entire upper management mobilized immediately. In their eyes, this outside enterprise capable of acquiring Hualong clearly had greater leadership potential than the former Hualong.

Meanwhile, inside the Hualong staff cafeteria…

Qin Nan stared blankly at the ceiling, her gaze slightly dazed. The events of the past few days felt like a dream. Her husband’s previously crippled leg had received the best treatment, and now he could live normally again. All of this was thanks to the man known as Xiao Yufan.

Before arriving at Hualong, she had felt some confusion, for there were too many mysteries surrounding Xiao Yufan…

Spending hundreds of thousands of yuan at once, punching the nephew of the police chief yet walking away unscathed, and calmly retreating in the face of hundreds of gangsters—each of these incidents clearly showed that the current Xiao Yufan was no longer the same person he once was. Yet their friendship had remained unchanged…

“Perhaps it’s fate being kind to me, allowing me to meet Xiaofan here in Linjiang. Without him, I wouldn’t even know what to do…”

Murmuring softly, a faint smile appeared on Qin Nan’s face. Since she couldn’t figure things out, she decided not to dwell on them. With this job, not only could her family’s life improve, but she also no longer had to live in constant fear.

As a local, although she wasn’t exactly clear on the extent of Hualong’s financial power, she had a general idea. It was definitely an astronomical sum. From snippets of other people’s conversations, she vaguely understood that all of this now belonged to Xiao Yufan. In just two years, a man could become so extraordinary…

“Nan Jie, what are you thinking about?”

Just as she was lost in thought, several young women approached and greeted her warmly. Although she had only been here a few days, Qin Nan had quickly become close with these young people thanks to her approachable charm.

Of course, the most important reason was her excellent cooking skills. Since joining the cafeteria, she had been warmly welcomed by many. And through the grapevine, they had learned that she had been personally introduced by the yet-to-be-seen mysterious chairman…

“What else could I be thinking about? Just spacing out, since there’s nothing much going on right now…”

Qin Nan loved this feeling—life slowly returning to normal, with her man and Wanwan by her side. This was the kind of life she had longed for countless times in the past, and now it was finally within reach.

“If Nan Jie isn’t busy, can we ask you a few questions?”

These girls were all new hires. Although Hualong had gone through a transition, being employed there still symbolized prestige in Linjiang. So after graduating, they had chosen to work here, believing that the company offered tremendous growth potential.

“I knew you had something up your sleeves. Otherwise, why would you have time to chat with me during work hours for no reason…”

With a helpless glance, Qin Nan gestured for them to sit down. In just a few days, she had become a popular stop for everyone. Another key reason was that they all wanted to hear from her about Xiao Yufan.

“It’s because the new chairman is coming today, so our main task is just to welcome him. Naturally, we’re quite free…”

“You’re here to ask about the new chairman again, right? This is already the third time you’ve come, and there have been countless others before you!”

Qin Nan shrugged, her eyes scanning each of the girls. Although these young women exuded youthful energy, compared to the women around Xiao Yufan, they were far from matching up. She couldn’t help but sigh—apparently, a man’s taste could reflect his strength…

Clearly, Xiao Yufan, surrounded by so many beauties, had more than enough strength and resources…

“We just want to know a little about the new chairman’s daily life, his hobbies, and so on. Of course, the most important thing is—we want to know whether he’s married or not!”

One of the girls asked bluntly, her eyes filled with anticipation. If Xiao Yufan was indeed still single, wouldn’t that mean they still had a chance? As for girlfriends or fiancées, those weren’t really obstacles—after all, there’s no wall that can’t be chipped away at, only lazy mistresses…

“You can forget about him. Your chairman already has women, and not just one…”

Qin Nan smiled, though the words themselves sounded somewhat absurd. She couldn’t understand how so many outstanding women could coexist peacefully. Perhaps there was some unknown magic about Xiao Yufan.

“Ahh…” The girls all gasped at once. Just as Qin Nan expected them to criticize Xiao Yufan for being too fickle, their reactions completely threw her off…

“So that means the new chairman has more than one woman? Then our chances are actually pretty good! If I could become one of his women, that would be amazing!”

Qin Nan’s values were shaken in an instant. It seemed these girls were already obsessed. Actually, it wasn’t hard to understand their excitement—having a stable relationship at home while pursuing affairs outside was actually quite common…

However, Qin Nan didn’t know what their reaction would be if they found out that all of Xiao Yufan’s women were extremely outstanding and actually lived together…

“Don’t blame me for not warning you. Every woman around him is very beautiful, you know. And judging by appearances, he truly loves his women!”

Qin Nan wasn’t trying to discourage them, but she didn’t want to feed these girls more fantasies. She couldn’t imagine how crazy they would become when they finally saw Xiao Yufan in person. After all, Xiao Yufan was also extremely handsome…

“Beautiful? As beautiful as Nan Jie?”

One of the girls asked tentatively. Just thinking about the many beauties surrounding Chairman Xiao, their confidence was already greatly diminished.

“Each of them is far more beautiful than me. In fact, they’re the most beautiful women I’ve ever seen…”

Qin Nan wasn’t exaggerating at all. Indeed, in her eyes, the three women around Xiao Yufan were all exceptional—some exuding icy elegance, others radiating gentle warmth. Each was more stunning than the last. As her words settled, the girls looked slightly dejected and resigned.
