Yan Luoxi hesitated for a long time on the phone, ultimately saying nothing and bidding farewell to her mother.
Ran Xu sent Yan Luoxi to the entrance of the apartment building in Lishui Garden where he lived. To avoid making Yan Luoxi feel uncomfortable, he didn't go upstairs with her but left immediately after seeing her off at the entrance.
This was a high-end residential area by the riverside; standing beside the living room window revealed a view of the Pearl River with typical Lingnan scenery on both banks. The night air was predictably hazy, and silver moonlight illuminated the river surface with ripples barely visible.
Ran Xu's apartment clearly wasn’t frequently occupied as it was spotless but coldly so; likely regular cleaning staff came to tidy up at fixed times.
Exhausted after battling a cold and spending an exhausting day, Yan Luoxi truly felt tired. After taking a shower, she emerged too weary to even straighten her back and fell asleep without thinking on the bed.
The next morning when Yan Luoxi woke up, it was already late morning. Instinctively reaching for her phone to check the time, she realized it was dead.
She searched barefoot in Ran Xu's place but found no charger for her phone. She decided against further searching and thought about who might call her—Zhou Guangtao
The mere thought of him hanging up so abruptly made Yan Luoxi’s eyes sting.
After a simple wash-up, Yan Luoxi left Ran Xu's home, went down to grab some food at a fast-food restaurant, and then headed to the hospital for an injection.
Zhou Guangtao has been feeling really happy lately, as everything at the company is gradually falling into place. Business orders are coming in one after another, and the number of employees is steadily increasing.
The only thing that he finds challenging is socializing over drinks outside. He excels at investments and professional matters but isn't particularly fond of the roundabout conversations during such gatherings.
Just when he felt somewhat overwhelmed, He Yufan arrived. This woman is adept at navigating different situations with ease; she knows how to be soft when needed and assertive when required. Not only can she hold her own in drinking bouts but also has excellent communication skills. On several occasions, she even managed to clinch deals on Zhou Guangtao's behalf during such gatherings.
The arrival of He Yufan made Zhou Guangtao feel like he had wings added to his back.
Zhou Guangtao is living a smooth and prosperous life. If there were any shortcomings, they would be related to Yan Luoxi.
Ever since Yan Luoxi reunited with her mother, she has become increasingly negligent in her work duties. On several occasions, she had unreasonably taken leave to accompany her mother for meals or shopping trips.
Zhou Guangtao is a person of great ambition and does not approve of such carefree attitude towards work. He wanted to speak with Yan Luoxi about it but out of consideration for their long-separated family bond, he held back each time.
One noon, an important delegation from Hainan arrived, and Zhou Guangtao along with He Yufan escorted three colleagues to entertain the guests over lunch.
The moment they stepped into the restaurant's entrance, Yan Luoxi called in for leave in the afternoon as she needed to accompany her mother to attend Sun Liangliang’s film production launch ceremony. Zhou Guangtao felt slightly discontent but still reluctantly agreed.
Zhou Guangtao and He Yufan arrived at the private dining room of the restaurant before everyone else, waiting there. Shortly after, a middle-aged man with slightly receding hair walked in, surrounded by attendants, likely being the head honcho from the other side.
The man, acting like a figure from the江湖 (literally "rivers and lakes," referring to martial arts or underworld figures), bowed to Zhou Guangtao, He Yufan, and others. "Sorry everyone, Fang Jianghai was delayed on the way, making you wait for quite some time."
Zhou Guangtao immediately realized that this person must be the real estate magnate Fang Jianghai from Hainan, no wonder there's such a grand setup.
Seeing such an important figure as Fang Jianghai personally arrive, Zhou Guangtao suddenly felt unsure about this negotiation. Sometimes, when one puts too much hope into something, it inevitably leads to anxiety over the outcome.
Jianghai Real Estate was famous across the country, and with Fang Jianghai bringing billions in investment for this project, numerous investment companies were eyeing this lucrative opportunity, all hoping to secure those billions. However, only one company could take the lion's share, which would depend on their capabilities.
This was the first time since his company’s establishment that Zhou Guangtao had encountered such a large-scale investment amount; he felt very excited and thrilled, like a hunter finally facing a highly challenging prey.
Fang Jianghai could run such a big business and navigate both legal and illegal circles with ease because of his insidious nature. Despite appearing as a rough man on the surface, his mind was incredibly meticulous. He had information on many investment companies at hand but had never personally interacted with Zhou Guangtao before; this time he came specifically to meet someone renowned for their successful projects.
This being Fang Jianghai's first venture here, he genuinely worried whether Zhou Guangtao’s reputation was well-deserved. Hence, he decided to come in person to see what the young man was capable of.
Seeing Fang Jianghai and his group enter, He Yufan warmly greeted them.
"Mr. Fang, I have heard much about you; it is truly an honor for us that you are here personally today!" He Yufan walked up to Fang Jianghai with infinite grace, her posture elegant like a blooming orchid.
In his lifetime, Fang Jianghai had seen countless beauties, but every gesture of He Yufan captivated him, leaving him marveling at her beauty.
He Yufan's beauty is different from the delicate and graceful charm of southern women. Born in the north, He Yufan has a tall stature with long limbs, exuding a seductive and enchanting allure, like the most dazzling flower among countless blooms, attracting attention wherever she goes.
Fang Jianghai was captivated by He Yufan's piercing eyes, feeling his bones turn to jelly. The way he looked at her seemed to strip away each layer of her clothing.
Zhou Guangtao invited everyone to sit down and chat, handing the menu to Fang Jianghai and asking him to order dishes.
As Fang Jianghai chatted with Zhou Guangtao, he noticed that despite his young age, Zhou already carried himself with an air of seasoned sophistication, sharpness, and confidence in every gesture, appearing extremely refined and elegant.
Zhou had a wealth of practical experience in investment, encompassing strategy, expertise, knowledge, connections, and many secrets to success that others could never acquire. No wonder he often received requests from large companies to act as their proxy for investments.
Zhou Guangtao easily won Fang Jianghai's trust.
Moreover, next to Zhou was a bewitchingly beautiful woman who added another layer of charm to the business discussion.
As the company’s PR manager, He Yufan faced countless lustful gazes daily. Clever as she was, how could she miss Fang Jianghai's intentions
She greeted him with a gentle smile and an unmistakably feminine charm, her voice sweet like honey: "Mr. Fang, it has long been heard that you are wealthy beyond measure. Rest assured, if you invest in our company, we will ensure your wealth rivals that of kingdoms!"
This flirtatious praise sent shivers down Zhou Guangtao's spine and nearly left Fang Jianghai speechless. when she was with Li An; hearing her sweet voice, his heart softened involuntarily. He gazed deeply into Yan Luoxi’s face, which glowed with rosy health due to recent nourishment. Her lively eyes cur...
