Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Ye Qingran wore a pair of black-framed glasses on her delicate face. Her hair was combed up into a bun behind her head. She looked clean and neat as she sat in front of her desk and looked at the documents in front of her.
Her personal assistant, Xiao Zhang, stood respectfully at the side and briefly reported the process of the day. “President Ye, the video conference in Northern Europe is at nine in the morning. At ten in the morning, we will discuss the follow-up financing with SR Company. At eleven in the morning…”
The schedule was packed until seven in the evening.
Finally, he carefully observed the boss’ cold face and said, “There is a reception at eight thirty in the evening. It is Miss Chen’s bachelorette reception before her wedding. Do you need me to prepare a dress for you?”
He did not know why, but he felt that his boss, who had returned to work after vacation, was even more lonely than before.
In the past, she would occasionally smile. Although her smile did not reach her eyes and was not really happy, recently, the corners of her mouth had not even curled up. It was always faint, but it was as if she had hidden a thousand years of loneliness.
He would always remember that seven-year-old little girl who followed her father to the orphanage and picked out him and a few children, then she asked them, “I can take you away and give you the best life, but I want you to be loyal to me for the rest of your life. Are you willing?”
They followed her out of the orphanage. From then on, they had the life of a young master of an aristocratic family. They went to be the best students, received the best education, and became her most capable assistants.
Although they were her subordinates, they were not qualified to be her brothers and sisters.
But they watched her grow up, and in their hearts, they loved her as if she were their sister. They really hoped that she would be happy and content.
After a long time, he did not get an answer.
Xiao Zhang said again, “Miss Chen sent a few messages over. She hopes that you can come earlier tonight.”
They were all young ladies from aristocratic families.
While the other young ladies were acting coquettishly in their parents’ arms, his boss was studying.
While the other rich young ladies were in love, his boss was in a meeting.
While the other rich young ladies were thinking about what bags to buy, what dresses to wear, and how to dress themselves, his boss was thinking about how to buy a company and create higher value and profits for the company.
Her relationship with these rich young ladies was very ordinary, but they liked to invite her to their banquets.
Girls still had to make some friends of the same age.
“Ranran, during this period of time, you’ve been working overtime very late every day. Why don’t you rest tonight and relax?” Xiao Zhang smiled and changed his tone. It was no longer the tone of a subordinate to a superior, but the tone of a big brother when they were in private.
Ye Qingran hesitated for a moment and nodded.
The sun was setting in the west, and the twilight was thick.
By the time Ye Qingran arrived, the banquet had already begun. The fragrance of the clothes and the shadows of the temples filled the air as they toasted each other. It was very lively.
When Chen Dandan saw Ye Qingran, she immediately walked over happily. “Ye Qingran, you’re finally here. I thought you wouldn’t be coming tonight.”
“I’m sorry, the company is a little busy.”
“Alright, alright. I know that you’re a very busy person. I forgive you. Come, come, come. Let’s go have a drink. Everyone is waiting for you.”
Seeing Ye Qingran come, many people felt uneasy. The topic of conversation was relatively more restrained.
After greeting them, Ye Qingran sat beside them with a glass of wine and listened to their conversation.
“Have you seen the trending searches recently? The young hunk who is in the popular xianxia dramas is quite good-looking.”
“Him? He’s alright. Why don’t we have a meal with him? I’ll make the arrangements.”
“Oh right, I’m going to Milan to watch a show next week. Come with me.”
“On my birthday a few days ago, my dad gave me a private plane. It’s a pity that I don’t have a plane license. Otherwise, I could take you guys for a tour.”
“I remember that Qingran, you have a plane license. Do you want to go and have some fun together?”
The topic shifted to Ye Qingran. They all looked at Ye Qingran with anticipation in their eyes.
They hoped that she would agree.
Unfortunately, as usual, Ye Qingran rejected them, saying that she did not have the time.
Everyone did not pay too much attention and continued chatting.
Suddenly, someone thought of something and called out to Ye Qingran. Then, they smiled and said, “Two days ago, when I went to Lin City, I saw a very special searching for someone advertisement. It said, Ye Qingran, I love you. I’m here!”
Everyone looked at Ye Qingran. “Same name, same surname?”
Why did these words feel a little familiar? Ye Qingran’s heart suddenly skipped a beat.
She suddenly choked on her wine.
Her fair little face was slightly flushed, which made everyone look at Ye Qingran with a hint of ambiguity in their eyes.
“It can’t be that the person they’re looking for is really you, right?”
“I don’t know either.” Ye Qingran put down her wine glass. She was a little puzzled and asked curiously, “Who made the advertisement?”
“When I saw this name, I immediately thought of you. I was also a little curious, so I asked around a little. It turns out that the son of the richest man in Lincheng is looking for his first girlfriend. Do you really know him?”
Ye Qingran shook her head. “I don’t.”
She denied it, and no one pressed on. In their hearts, Ye Qingran was a workaholic. How could she have time to fall in love.
However, Ye Qingran’s heart could not calm down.
She only sat for a while before she found an excuse to leave.
Once she got into the car, she immediately took out her phone to search for the richest man in Lin City.
The richest man in Lincheng was surnamed Chu, and the eldest young master of the Chu family, was named Chu Yan, and he was the one who had sent the advertisement to look for her.
Chu Yan.
His name was also Chu Yan.
And he was looking for Ye Qingran. How could it be such a coincidence?
Ye Qingran’s heart clenched nervously as she continued to search…
Half a year ago, Chu Yan had been in a car accident and fell into a coma. He had not woken up since then. The doctors said that it was very likely that he would become a vegetable and spend the rest of his life in a hospital bed.
The Chu family’s business was greatly affected and their stock almost collapsed.
A few years ago, the Chu family was just an ordinary wealthy family. Chu Yan did not have such a big plate in Lin City.
It was after Chu Yan accepted the Chu group that he entered the high-tech field. In just a few years, the Chu family became the richest family in Lin City.
After Chu Yan’s accident, many companies were eyeing him covetously. They wanted to take advantage of his illness to take his life and destroy the Chu group in one blow.
Just as Chu Yan’s father was about to lose control of the situation, Chu Yan woke up and the shares of the Chu corporation rose as well.
Chu Yan was quite a mysterious person. Before his car accident, all the information about him had been deleted from the Internet. Naturally, there was no picture of him.
The only picture was of him lying on a stretcher after his car accident and being sent to the hospital. He was wearing a dark-colored suit and his face was covered in blood. It was impossible to see his face clearly.
Appearance was not the main point. She was also different from the Ye Qingran in the game.
Could this Chu Yan be her Chu Yan?
Whether it was her Chu Yan or not, she would know once she went to look for him.
Ye Qingran held her phone tightly and instructed, “Get someone to prepare.. I need to fly to Lin City.”
