Dongfang Rou’er could not help but advise her again.

Lin Yuanyuan’s tensed face relaxed for a moment, and she leaned against the back of the chair behind her. “Alright, I got it. You can go back and do your work!”

“Just remember, this is a critical period, and father doesn’t want anything to go wrong. You can just focus on completing what you’re doing. Also, I don’t know what she’s planning to do for the Mid-autumn Festival. It seems to be quite grand and mysterious. I don’t know what she’s planning to do!”

“Of course! Didn’t they say that the invitation was already sent out? It’s a charity dinner! She’s planning to hold a jewelry show in the name of the charity dinner. She’s really good at coming up with such ideas. If she were to receive both fame and fortune this time, who knows what she’ll do after this!”

Lin Yuanyuan’s tone was also sour.

She had seen the plan that Dongfang Liuyun had submitted, so she was very clear of Dongfang Liuyun’s intentions.

Dongfang Rou’er’s eyes darkened. She lowered her gaze and was silent for a moment before saying, “She’s really smart!”

“You were originally in charge of this event. You must not go for wool and come back shorn! But from the looks of it now…”

“Let’s wait and see. This event is not a simple matter. If the follow-up results are not as expected, she won’t be able to pa.s.s. The Dongfang Group is so big and has many compet.i.tors. No matter how outstanding she is, she can’t be compared to Brother. Brother is the most qualified person to inherit the Dongfang Group and family.”

“That’s true, but the person in charge of the Dongfang Group is Dongfang Gan, your Third Uncle, not your father, Dongfang Ren! Not to mention your Second Uncle and the others. How can it be easy to rise to the top?”

As she said this, Lin Yuanyuan could not help but feel heavy in her heart, and the light in her eyes dimmed.

“If it was easy, we wouldn’t have waited until now. Mother, as long as we work together, the winner will definitely be us. Second Uncle’s schemes are unfathomable. This time, we have to be more cautious. Father and Brother also have the same intentions. I heard that two days ago, Second Uncle went to look for Third Uncle. I think this decision is not necessarily related to Second Uncle. You know, Third Uncle’s side is still more biased towards Second Uncle.”

Dongfang Rou’er said with a frown.

“Your Second Uncle is a shrewd person. It’s only natural. We just need to not relax.”

“Mmm, you too, Mother. Don’t be angry. Don’t let these things affect us negatively. Truly intelligent people won’t reveal their true thoughts so easily. In the future, there will be many similar things that we have to face. We have to learn to endure it. Just like Second Uncle and the others.”

“Alright, alright! I understand. I know it was your Father who asked you to come over and tell me this. I’m just a little angry, and I can’t really go all out. Go do what you need to do. I still have a lot of things to settle.”

Lin Yuanyuan finally recovered.

“Yes, alright. I’ll go back then.”

Dongfang Rou’er left the office as she spoke.

…

After leaving the cafè, Qi Lei did not go home immediately. Instead, he drove to the International Exhibition Center alone.

The car slowly stopped at the parking spot. He did not get out of the car right away. Instead, he sat in the car and silently looked at the entrance of the exhibition center.

Dongfang Liuyun stood on the stairs in front and skillfully instructed the staff to get busy.

It was still drizzling outside. It was not too heavy, but Secretary Ding was very considerate to hold the umbrella for her.

In the end, Qi Lei did not get out of the car and go forward. Instead, he quietly watched for a while before driving away from the back.

…

In the evening, the plane pa.s.sed through the vast rain and steadily landed on the runway.

The person who came to pick them up was Su Chen.

Mu Yuchen and Xi Xiaye had just walked out of the airport when they saw Su Chen who had been waiting for a while.

With the help of the bodyguards, they quickly moved the luggage into the car. Mu Yuchen got into the car while Xi Xiaye went straight back to Maple Residence.

Su Chen had especially come to pick up Mu Yuchen. Zhou Zimo was preparing dinner. Qi Lei had a sudden inspiration in the afternoon, he prepared a bunch of ingredients and went straight to Zhou Zimo’s place. Later on, Zhou Zimo called Su Chen, the buddies had already made an appointment, so Mu Yuchen wouldn’t miss it, naturally.”

“Are you tired? Drink some water.”

Su Chen drove the car out steadily as he said this.

Mu Yuchen fixed his sleeves. “Not bad. I slept early last night and woke up late today.”

“I think you’re reluctant to come back. Do you still want to spend some time alone with Xiaye?”

Su Chen squinted at him indifferently.

Mu Yuchen did not even look at him as he continued to fix his sleeves elegantly. “Don’t pretend like you and Ji Zitong haven’t thought about spending some time alone?”

“Wanting to and not having done it are two different things. I’m not as carefree and free as you. Can’t you see that I’ve been worked like a dog recently?” Su Chen said tiredly.

“Is it still because of the car accident? Doesn’t the main person-in-charge have a special task force? It’s not up to you. How can you be so busy?” Mu Yuchen asked.

“You think too simply. It’s not easy to work together either. The person the Military Region sent over is Qin Su, you know this.”

Su Chen raised his hand to rub the s.p.a.ce between his brows as he said this.

“I heard from Li Si before and you also said later that the matter hasn’t been settled yet?”

“Far from it, I heard that the case is quite complicated, so it’ll probably take some time. However, I tried to probe Qin Su before, and it seems that she doesn’t have a deep impression of Zimo either. Thinking about her icy beauty, I’m really worried that she won’t like Zimo’s personality. Although this fellow looks human in front of others, we’ve known him in private for a long time and know that he looks likes to put on airs.”

“I don’t think you’re much better than Zimo. Why would Ji Zitong like you?”

Mu Yuchen did not even frown as he went straight to the point, leaving Su Chen speechless.

He thought about it for a while before he said, “What I mean is that Qin Su is even more…”

“No matter how big the change is, it can’t be separated from her nature. I think the two of them will do well.”

“Alright, I admit that Qin Su is good-looking and has a cold personality. She is able to attract Zimo, but it’s just attraction. Every fool knows that an ice beauty like her is not suitable to be a wife!”

“How do you know that she has always been an ice beauty? In my opinion, she is rather amiable. When she was serving in the northwest, I heard that she raised many small animals and took in many stray cats.”

“Stray cats? No way, Don’t you know that Zimo is most afraid of those stray cats and dogs? Aren’t you digging a hole for Zimo to jump into? If Zimo finds out, won’t he kill you?”
