Sheng Xueqin returned to the company, limping in a way that startled her secretary.

“Director Sheng, are you alright?”

“I’m fine, just twisted my ankle by accident.”

“Just now… the chairman called and said there will be a meeting this afternoon.”

“The chairman? My grandfather?”

“Yes.”

What’s going on, Grandfather usually comes directly to the company himself. Why would he call a meeting today…

“Alright, I’ve got it.”

During the meeting that afternoon, the old man of the Sheng Family gave a major planning project directly to Sheng Yunwu. Anyone could see where the winds were blowing.

Sheng Xueqin felt humiliated, and she threw a tantrum as soon as she returned from the meeting room.

“Grandfather, doing this will surely make people think you are very dissatisfied with me.

It will make my work very difficult from now on. Wasn’t it agreed that I would be in charge of this project earlier?”

The old patriarch of the Sheng Family calmed her, saying:

“Xueqin, it’s just one project. Aren’t you going to discuss a collaboration with that Pei Zhao from Jiancheng?

You can’t be in two places at once. Grandfather is sparing you from this insignificant project by giving it to your second uncle.

We’re all family. Don’t be too sensitive.”

His words were watertight, leaving Sheng Xueqin with no angle to argue.

“Grandfather, are you doing this because of the issue with Grandfather Shen feeling my pulse? Do you have thoughts about me?”

“How could you think that way, child? You have always been the granddaughter I loved the most. With your intelligence and capability, how could I ever take a few words from outsiders to heart?”

The old patriarch spoke with such sincerity that Sheng Xueqin didn’t speak further, but she still felt very uneasy.

“I’m sorry, maybe I’m too sensitive. I was rude just now, Grandfather. Please don’t take it to heart.”

“Of course not, just focus on your work. I won’t disturb you further.”

The old patriarch had just walked out of the company’s main gate when Sheng Yunwu approached him with a beaming smile.

“Dad.”

“You have this one chance. Make sure you grasp it, understand?”

“Don’t worry, I definitely won’t let you down.”

After so many years, Sheng Yunwu finally had a chance to turn the tables!

Overnight, not only the Sheng Family was undergoing changes, but Huo Tingyang’s sudden appointment as deputy director also caused a significant stir at the Huo Corporation.

Everyone speculated whether a change of leadership at Huo Corporation was imminent. After all, it had been generally assumed that Huo Tingxiao would return to take over, but then this unexpected personnel move occurred.

“Have you heard that the new Mr. Xiaohuo just got engaged to that member of the Sheng Family?”

“It’s not just hearsay. I heard the engagement party was upstaged when the older Mr. Huo made a forceful declaration of love. A friend of mine works in event planning and told me the scene was like something out of a movie.”

“Feels a bit odd, doesn’t it? Showing off love at his brother’s engagement party. These wealthy families are like the deep sea; who knows what act they’re playing out.”

“Anyway, we shouldn’t worry about which Mr. Huo will be in charge in the future. It’s best to stick closely to the boss to get our share.”

“What are you talking about?”

The group of people, upon seeing the learned man in formal attire with frameless glasses, promptly ceased their gossip and respectfully said:

“Director Feng.”

“Focus on your work and don’t discuss things you shouldn’t.”

His face bore a gentle smile, yet it sent shivers down the spines of several secretaries.

“Yes, Director Feng!”

They scattered back to their desks like birds and beasts.

Feng Lin returned to his office, and not long after, Huo Tingyang, who had just completed his joining formalities, came to pay his respects.

“Director Feng, a pleasure to meet you. I hope for your guidance.”

“You’re too kind.”

“I was wondering if you might have some time tonight, to have dinner together.”

“Tonight… I’m sorry, but I’m already booked.”

Huo Tingyang raised an eyebrow, the hesitation of Feng Lin suggesting to him a sensation of being undervalued.

“When does Mr. Feng have time, we could…”

“Vice President Huo might have just arrived at the company and doesn’t know much about me. I don’t usually attend private dinners. If there is business to discuss, it can be done at the company.”

It’s not that he doesn’t attend private dinners, but that he doesn’t want to attend his dinner.

“So that’s the case, my apologies for the presumption.”

“No problem, some things are better communicated directly and simply.

Is there any other business matter?”

“No, that’s all. I’ll get back to work, Mr. Feng, please go on with your busy schedule.”

Huo Tingyang hit a wall and had no choice but to leave Feng Lin’s office.

He had already found out early in the morning that at Huo Corporation, Feng Lin was really the core executive, his capabilities were so formidable that many of the directors didn’t dare to offend him.

The most astonishing thing was that he had his own faction within the group; several internal power sources had tried to win him over but all had failed.

If he could get such a person on his side, then he would have an even greater chance of defeating Huo Tingxiao.

No sooner had Huo Tingyang left than Feng Lin’s private phone rang.

“Your call is so timely, he just left.”

“With you there, I don’t worry about him. Recently, there’s been some activity from the Shengshi side, you should be careful.”

“The land in the south of the city?”

“Yes.”

“Alright, I got it.”

After ending the call, Feng Lin skillfully erased the call log as if nothing had happened.

After finishing afternoon tea, Mu Lan was preparing to leave the mall and head back to the Mu Family with Yun Xi when they encountered Pei Zhao emerging with his bodyguards.

Mu Lan frowned at the sight of bruises on the faces of the twins and couldn’t help but wonder if Pei Zhao, that psychopath, had them fight each other to vent their frustration because they hadn’t been able to beat Yun Xi.

“Are you looking for me?”

“…”

Mu Lan realized this man’s thought processes were unlike those of normal people.

“Mr. Pei, I was just here to shop at the mall; you’re overthinking it.”

Pei Zhao feigned disappointment.

“With so many malls in Sea City, you just happened to choose the one next to the hotel I’m staying at. I thought maybe… alas, I’m being presumptuous again.

When will you have thought it over?”

“Thought over what?”

Mu Lan’s eyes showed her guard, as Pei Zhao was too sinister and it was wise to interact with him as little as possible.

“About divorcing Huo Tingxiao and coming to repay your debt of gratitude to me.”

Pei Zhao spoke casually, as if commenting on the fine weather. Mu Lan only felt that he was utterly absurd, talking to himself.

“When did I say I was going to divorce Huo Tingxiao and come to you to repay a debt?”

Pei Zhao looked astonished.

“Now that you know I was your lifesaver, don’t you want to devote yourself to repaying that debt?”

Mu Lan truly felt like she was going to be driven to laughter by this man.

“I don’t want to. Mr. Pei, I don’t know who gave you that illusion, but please wake up and stop living in your own fantasy.”

Fantasies… Pei Zhao slightly curled his lips, his wheelchair moving slowly toward Mu Lan, as Yun Xi instinctively stepped forward to block between them.

And seeing Yun Xi make a move, the two bodyguards immediately stepped forward as well.

Pei Zhao’s gaze shifted to Yun Xi and suddenly, he smiled.

“Your bodyguard is not bad. If you can’t repay the favor, giving her to me would also suffice.”

Mu Lan was dumbfounded, Pei Zhao really was a lunatic!

“Yun Xi is my good friend, please show some respect!”

Yun Xi’s expressionless face suddenly showed a trace of emotion, fleeting though it was, but Pei Zhao still caught it.

Interesting… she’s so naive that she would risk her life just for someone else’s word.
