°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°

When Yibo woke up, Zhan was still asleep.

The warm air in the quilt reddened his fair and clean face. His long eyelashes lined up into a fan and cast a shadow under his eyes. Zhan looked obedient and quiet, like a bunny.

Suddenly, a soft cracking sound came from the hall.

Yibo’s eyes lit up and he tucked Zhan in. He stood up, put on a bathrobe, and walked out gently.

In the hall, Cheng opened the door and entered. Seeing that the hall was quiet, he was a little uncertain. Did the two of them do it last night?

Yibo closed bedroom door and took a few steps forward before coming across Cheng.

When Cheng saw Yibo, he was surprised. “You woke up so early.”

Yibo’s face was gloomy as he coldly looked at Cheng, “Do you still dare to come?”

At this time, Cheng saw the red marks on Yibo’s neck. It looked like it had been grabbed.

Cheng laughed jauntily, “Why didn’t I dare to come? I think you should be especially grateful to me now!”

Yibo sneered. Just as he was about to speak, he heard something behind him.

He tried to listen, but the slight sound was gone again.

Yibo pondered for a moment and said to Cheng, “Thank you for drugging me?”

“I didn’t do that! I don’t have that kind of thing.” Cheng immediately said.

Someone else poured Cheng that glass of wine last night.

Yibo crossed his arms and coldly looked at him, not saying anything.

Cheng had been fooling around and making various friends since he was a child, so he naturally knew if the drink was drugged.

Therefore, he had purposely given Yibo that glass of wine last night.

Although Yibo was vigilant, he was off guard against Cheng, therefore he fell into the trap.

“Alright, I admit I know there’s something wrong with that glass of wine.” Cheng felt guilty under his gaze.

“I’ll get back to you.” Yibo interrupted him coldly and turned to his room.

Hearing this, Cheng felt a chill down his neck. He got no thanks for his good intentions.

Yibo walked to the door and found that the door was not tightly closed.

When he came out, he had tightly shut the door.

Pushing the door open, he looked down and saw a slipper by the door.

Didn’t Zhan even cover it up when eavesdropping?

Yibo picked up the slipper and placed it beside the bed with the other one. Then, he turned around and took a set of clothes from the wardrobe into the bathroom.

Hearing the sound of the door being closed, Zhan poked his head out of the quilt.

The sound of water came from the bathroom. Zhan propped himself up and got out of bed. He picked up the clothes that had been thrown all over the floor and put them on. He carried his shoes and walked out quietly.

After leaving the room, he put on his shoes and ran away.

***

When Zhan exited the elevator, he saw Cheng and Haikuan.

Haikuan sat calmly on the sofa, but Cheng shaking his head and waving, as if he was complaining to Haikuan.

In the room just now, Zhan heard Yibo and Cheng’s conversation.

Although Yibo’s personality was changeable, he was at least more upright than Cheng.

Zhan quietly walked over, and happened to hear Cheng say, “I must have owed him in my previous life. That’s why I came to pay my debts in this lifetime. As the boss of Yuehua Media Company, he threw the company to me whenever he had something else to do. But I can’t resist. Just as for the matter yesterday, I have good intentions. Isn’t he thinking about something like this? I…”

Halfway through his words, he noticed that Haikuan’s gaze fixed behind him, “What are you looking at?”

When Cheng followed Haikuan’s gaze and saw Zhan, he burst out with shock, “Why … why are you here?”

Zhan tilted his head slightly, his expression cold like Yibo, “I’m just passing by. Go on.”

Cheng didn’t dare to go on. He could tell Yibo and Haikuan that he had called Zhan over last night to help Yibo.

However, in front of Zhan, he didn’t dare to say that.

Cheng felt uneasy under Zhan cold gaze. “No… Nothing. I just…”

Last time he saw Zhan, Cheng thought that Zhan must be a good-tempered man.

However, now under his cold gaze, Cheng could feel something of Yibo on him, which boggled his mind.

“The boss of Yuehua Media Company? Yibo?” Zhan raised his eyebrows, “So, was the invitation letter that Yuehua Media Company sent me earlier also Yibo’s idea?”

Cheng felt that the situation was getting out of control. He nodded, then shook his head immediately, denying, “No… No, it was my idea!”

Zhan said gently, “Oh, I got it.”

After saying that, Zhan turned around and left.

Cheng watched him leave and asked Haikuan, “Am I in trouble now?”

“Yes.” Haikuan nodded in agreement.

Cheng collapsed, totally screwed up.

“I’d better run first. I’ll go back and pack my luggage now.” Cheng stood up and was about to leave.

Just as he was about to go, he heard Yibo’s voice from behind him, “Have you seen Zhan?”

Haikuan replied, “He just left.”

Cheng turned around, and Yibo also happened to look up at him.

Cheng stuttered guiltily, “Yi… Yibo.”

“What are you afraid of? I won’t revenge on you. That’s for Zhan.” There was even a faint smile on Yibo’s face, “I’ll treat you to a drink later.”

“…”

Cheng was afraid that not only did Yibo not want to treat him to a drink, he also wanted to beat him to death.

Yibo turned around to chase after Zhan.

But on second thought, although they had done the most intimate thing last night, it was the first time for Zhan. It was normal for him to be shy about such a thing.

If he chased him now, Zhan might not be willing to see him.

Thus, Yibo turned to look at Cheng and said, “Let’s go to the company together.”

“No, thanks. I haven’t eaten breakfast yet.”

Yibo nodded, “I didn’t eat either. Let’s go together.”

Cheng just wanted to escape.

***

When Zhan returned to the mansion, it was still early.

He hadn’t slept much all night. He was very tired, but he wasn’t sleepy at all.

When he went upstairs, he met Yijun, who was carrying his schoolbag downstairs.

Yijun yawned and looked at Zhan with surprise, “Zhan, did you go out last night?”

“Yes, I have something to do with my friends.” Zhan’s expression was a little unnatural.

Yijun thought that Zhan was afraid that Yibo would know that he didn’t return all night, so he patted his chest with great pride and guaranteed, “Don’t worry, I won’t tell my cousin. After all, we are the people on the same boat!”

“Yes, hurry up and go to school.”

Zhan quickly ran back to his room.

***

Zhan carried his clothes into the bathroom and looked at himself in the mirror, blushing.

It was probably the most impulsive behavior he had ever had in his life last night….

Cheng’s words flashed through his mind.

In just ten years, Yuehua had become the leader of the entertainment industry.

However, Yibo was only twenty-six years old this year.

If I hadn’t heard what Cheng said, I would never know that Yibo was the boss behind Yuehua Media Company now.

Yibo was such a terribly deep man with countless secrets.

Wasn’t my decision last night…. too impulsive?

Zhan did not sleep much at night and his complexion was pale. He put on makeup and got changed, and then went to the Xiao Group.

***

Xiao Group.

°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°

Along the way, Zhan was in the mood to recall the discussion on the Internet yesterday.

This matter, coupled with Haoxuan’ celebrity effect, probably won’t be solved so easily.

Perhaps, this matter would really force Jianmin to invite his father back.

Upon entering the Xiao Group, Zhan felt the tension in the company.

He met Zanilla in the tea room.

As soon as she saw Zhan, she walked towards him on high heels, “You want to destroy the Xiao Group, don’t you? Ever since you came, the Xiao Group hasn’t had a day of peace.”

Zhan did not say anything.

Did I ever live peacefully ever since I was born in Xiao’s?

Did I ever live peacefully when I was forced to marry into the Wang’s?

“I don’t want to destroy the Xiao Group, and I don’t think I have that much ability. The Xiao Group was founded by grandfather, which has been a faithful brand in the industry for decades. Don’t you know why it has become like this?”

Zhan did not know much about business management, but he knew about the general situation of the Xiao Group.

Jianmin’s father handed the Xiao Group over to Jianmin. In the first few years, Jianmin made products honestly. But in recent years, he got complacent and began to cheat.

A few days ago, loopholes appeared in the project and the company’s capital chain got in trouble, and then the factory was exposed for its dirty work. The Xiao Group fell into the biggest crisis since its founding.

“Nonsense!” Zanilla did not care about Zhan’s words at all, “Do you dare to follow me to Dad’s and say it again?”

“Of course!”

Actually, Zhan did not want to see the Xiao Group collapse like this.

He was not a sage. On a personal level, if the Xiao Group collapsed, he might feel satisfied.

However, the satisfaction was only temporary. If the Xiao Group collapsed, a large number of employees would lose their jobs, which was a conceivable result.

Yibo was the boss of Yuehua Media Company, so he was definitely the one who planned Haoxuan’ matter.

In order to force Jianmin’s father to return home, Yibo frequently took measures in secret. If Jianmin’s father did not return, he might really destroy the Xiao Group.

How could Jianmin be a match for a man who had become the leader of the entertainment industry at the age of twenty-six?

Zhan couldn’t play dumb as if he knew nothing.

***

“Dad, Zhan is here!”

Zanilla pulled Zhan to Jianmin’s office.

“Zhan, what did you talk with Haoxuan about yesterday? How did this happen?” Jianmin stood up from behind his desk and walked out.

Zhan shook his head, “Nothing.”

“Nothing? Then how did it end up like this?” Zanilla looked at him mockingly, “You must have said something to Haoxuan and offended him. The topic on the Internet was obviously heated by someone who paid the trolls to do it.”

“How did you persuade Haoxuan back then? Did he say that he would definitely sign a contract with the Xiao Group? Use your brain to think about it. With his status, why did he agree to take the Xiao Group’s endorsement?”

Since this matter had something to do with Yibo, it was a trap that had been set up from the beginning without any doubt.

“The love for beauty is common to all men. No matter how famous Haoxuan is, he is still a man.” Zanilla’s subtext was that Haoxuan had taken a fancy to her, which was why he agreed to take the Xiao Group’s endorsement.

Not to mention Zhan, even Jianmin did not believe it.

Jianmin waved, “Zanilla, what did Haoxuan tell you at that time?”

“He… praised me for my charm and then said that he could give it a try.” As Zanilla spoke, her face turned red.

Zhan sneered. Did Zanilla take a fancy to Haoxuan?

“Didn’t you say that Haoxuan had already agreed to sign a contract with our company?” Jianmin furrowed and said in a deep voice.

“I think that’s almost the case. If I knew something like this would happen, I would go talk to him about signing the contract the next day.”

Zanilla now regretted it. The main reason why she let Zhan talk about the contract was that she felt that Haoxuan was already interested in her. She could not take too much initiative. She wanted to play hard to get and wait for him to find her.

Seeing that Jianmin’s expression was getting darker and darker, Zanilla did not dare to speak again.

In her opinion, it was all Haoxuan’ fault!

Jianmin sat down on the sofa and sighed, his voice filled with fatigue, “Someone wants to make trouble for the Xiao Group.”

“Yes, since Haoxuan did not directly reject the Xiao Group’s invitation, this has been a trap.” Zhan pondered for a moment and said, “Perhaps earlier.”

Jianmin turned to look at Zhan, as if this was the first time he knew him.

Zhan met his gaze and continued, “Because Haoxuan couldn’t accept the endorsement of the Xiao Group. Something strange must be wrong.”

Jianmin stared at Zhan for a moment before nodding, “You’re right.”

When Zanilla saw that Jianmin was actually praising Zhan, she was immediately unhappy.

“Dad, what’s the point of what he said? Haoxuan treats me differently. I think he definitely likes me. I’ll take care of this and get him to confess in front of the media that he took the endorsement of the Xiao Group because of me!”

Zanilla’s confident appearance shocked Zhan.

Confidence was good, but this was the first time I had seen someone as complacent as Zanilla.

Jianmin fiercely patted the coffee table and shouted angrily, “Stop messing around!”

“I’m not messing around.” Zanilla raised her chin confidently and glanced at Zhan before leaving.

Jianmin was so angry that he couldn’t say a word as he Pissed off and pointed in the direction of the door.

“I’m going out first.”

Zhan did not stay to comfort Jianmin.

He deserved to be pissed off by his daughter who had been spoiled by himself!

***

When Zhan went out for lunch, he saw Yibo leaning against the car not far away.

He wore a black jeans and a black shirt with black jacket, and the two buttons on his collar were unbuttoned, making him look a little unruly.

Zhan subconsciously stopped.

Yibo had already turned his gaze towards Zhan. He straightened his back without any other movements or words, just focusing on Zhan’s direction.

Yibo meant for Zhan to come to him.

Zhan pursed his lips and walked towards him with his chin raised.

As Zhan approached, he crossed his arms and said indifferently, “President Wang, what’s up?”

In fact, Zhan was a little nervous.

When facing Yibo, most of the time, Zhan was a little afraid of him. It was an instinctive fear of the strong.

Hearing this, Yibo frowned slightly, “What did you call me?”

“President of Yuehua Media Company.” The smile in Zhan’s eyes was slightly cold, “Thank you for sending me an invitation for the interview.”

Yibo narrowed his eyes slightly. The expression on his face revealed no obvious emotion. However, his slightly deep voice revealed a trace of undetectable displeasure, “Who told you that?”

“Does it matter?” Zhan’s face turned cold as he raised his eyebrows, “Since you chose to conceal it back then, there will definitely be a day when it will be discovered.”

Hearing Zhan’s words, Yibo did not show any signs of anger. He said casually, “So what do you want?”

His righteous appearance rendered Zhan speechless.

What could I do?

Even if Yibo concealed the truth and lied to me, I couldn’t do anything to him.

However, there was a barrier in my heart that I could not cross, so I could not pretend to be calm when getting along with him.

I might have been a little impulsive about what happened last night, but I didn’t regret it.

Zhan pursed his lips and turned around to leave.

Yibo stared at Zhan back for a few seconds before following him casually.

The two of them entered restaurant one after the other.

***

As soon as Zhan sat down, Yibo also sat down.

Zhan said angrily, “What are you doing here?”

Yibo’s eyes were filled with seriousness, “You didn’t answer the question I asked you just now. What do you want to do to me?”

“What can I do to you?”

“You can do whatever you want.”

Zhan was almost confused by Yibo. The two of them were almost half a hundred years old together, but they were playing the word game like two children.

“I want you to stay away from me.” Now Zhan was annoyed with him.

“Oh.” Yibo indifferently replied, “I can’t.”

“You…”

At this moment, sitting in front of Yibo, Zhan felt like a fool.

From beginning to end, everything about me was under his control.

Yibo knew everything about me and my every move.

But I knew nothing about him.

Zhan feeling for Yibo grew stronger and stronger. After the relationship between the two of them became formal, he began to want to balance the relationship between them.

Zhan changed his mind and asked tentatively, “Why must you force my grandfather to return home?”

Yibo looked up at him, his ink-like eyes deep and gloomy.

Uneasy under his gaze, Zhan couldn’t help but reach out to touch the cup in front of him.

At this moment, Yibo opened his mouth and said, “Guess.”

Zhan’s mind went blank, then he curled his lips and smiled. His bright eyes curved up slightly, as if he did not care about him, “Oh.”

Yibo didn’t want to tell me.

Yibo treated me well perhaps because I’m his wife, or because he is interested in me, or perhaps because I am member of the Xiao.

OMG Now I realize, why Yibo fulfilled his engagement to Zanilla because she is member of the Xiao.

The Wangs did care what person Yibo married, but Yibo didn’t. As long as it was the member of the Xiao, he didn’t care whether it was Zanilla or me.

With this sudden depression, Zhan lost his appetite.

When the dishes were served, Zhan took a few bites and put down his chopsticks.

Yibo glanced at him and picked up the dishes for Zhan. His voice was low and calm, “Thanks for last night. Eat more.”

Zhan blushed, “I don’t want to eat. I don’t have any appetite!”

“Is it because you haven’t rested properly?” Yibo asked seriously, “Then go home and rest in the afternoon. Anyway, you’re not happy, working for the Xiao Group.”

Zhan was slightly stunned.

Few people cared if he was happy or not.

When Yibo treated him well, he was really good.

It was said that the land of tenderness was the grave of heroes, but Zhan felt that when a man like Yibo really treated someone well, it was also the powerful poison.

***

After the meal, the two of them went out and met Zanilla.

It was always hard to avoid the enemy.

Zanilla smiled meaningfully, “Zhan was so close to Mr. Yijun that you even eat together in your free time. Does my brother-in-law know it?”

Yibo narrowed his eyes slightly and said, “Of course, I can’t let my cousin know about this kind of thing.”

Zhan quietly stretched out his hand and fiercely twisted the back of Yibo’s hand, reminding him not to speak nonsense.

Yibo’s expression did not change as he grabbed Zhan hand and said, “Zhan, I’m leaving first. I’ll pick you up tonight.”

Zhan did not say anything, and his face was written with the word “Scram”.

However, after Yibo finished speaking, he did not leave.

Just as Zhan was about to ask him why he still hadn’t left, Yibo suddenly leaned closer to him, “Cousin-in-law, aren’t you going to kiss me goodbye?”

“What?”

After Yibo finished speaking, he kissed Zhan in front of Zanilla before turning around and leaving with a smile on his face.

Seeing that smile, Zhan felt that Yibo was really annoying.

Although Zanilla’s private life was in a mess, she never thought that Zhan and “Yijun” would be so unscrupulous and not avoid suspicion in public.

“Zhan, you are really…” Zanilla was speechless for a moment and only said a few seconds later, “shameless!”

Zhan looked at her and said indifferently, “Less than you.”

***

Yuehua Media Company.

°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°

The senior managers knew that he was the boss behind Yuehua Media Company, but they did not know that he was Wang Yibo.

Only Haoxuan, Haikuan, Cheng and Bowen knew that he was Yibo and that he was the boss behind Yuehua.

When Yibo returned to his office, he instructed his secretary, “Ask Mr. Cheng to come over.”

After a while, the secretary called Yibo back, “Mr. Cheng’s secretary said that he was away on business, and that he was already at the airport.”

Even on the phone, the silence made the secretary feel oppressive. Her voice got lower and lower.

When she heard Yibo sneer, she couldn’t help but shiver.

“I see. Have someone call Meng Ziyi over.”

Yibo put down the phone.

Cheng’s habit of escaping after doing something wrong had never changed.

Not long after, Ziyi came up.

When Ziyi knocked on the door, she felt a little strange. Just now, someone said that the big boss of Yuehua wanted something from her. Her first thought was that it must be Cheng, so she directly refused.

The secretary reminded her, “It’s the boss of Yuehua, not Mr. Zhou Cheng.”

Was Cheng just an employee?

“Come in.”

The deep voice from inside was a little familiar.

Ziyi pushed the door open in confusion. When she saw Yibo’s face clearly, her eyes widened in an instant.

“… Yibo?”

Yibo said in a deep voice, “Miss Meng Ziyi.”

With Zhan’s description, Ziyi also found Yibo terrifying.

To her surprise, he was her boss!

Although his expression was normal, Ziyi still felt somewhat afraid. She bowed to Yibo deeply and loudly said, “Yes, sir!”

Her tone was filled with blandishment.

Yibo raised his eyebrows. Zhan and his friend were truly different.

Zhan was afraid of me, but he rarely tried to please me. Instead, he seemed to prefer to go against me.

Yibo said calmly, “I have a favor to ask of you.”

Ziyi was flattered. Zhan said that this man was tough, but he seemed good-tempered.

“As long as I can do it, even ten favors will be fine.”

Yibo seemed to be satisfied with her answer, his expression relaxed. “I’m out of touch with Cheng. Help me call and ask him where he is.”

Was that all?

Ziyi thought it should be something more important.

Although she had never contacted Cheng in recent years. she had all of his contact information.

Ziyi first called the number he used to call her recently, but his phone was off.

Then she called the number he had used when he was still a student. She wasn’t sure if he was still using it.

Ziyi dialed the phone and with a single ring, Cheng’s excited voice sounded, “Ziyi!”

Ziyi pretended not to recognize the excitement in his tone and asked, “Where are you, Cheng?”

“I’m at the airport!”

The next moment, Cheng suddenly asked, “Ziyi, what’s up?”

“It’s fine. Boss said that he couldn’t find you and let me help him contact you.” After Ziyi finished speaking, she said to Yibo, “He said he was at the airport.”

Somehow, Cheng scolded, “Fuck!”

Then, Yibo’s phone rang.

Yibo did not answer the phone in a hurry. Instead, he looked at Ziyi and said, “Thank you. You can go first.”

Ziyi walked to the door and heard Yibo say, “I’ve seen your film. Among the new recruits in the company, you have the most potential.”

Yibo was very cautious and serious about his work. When Cheng wanted to sign Ziyi into the company, he saw a film of Ziyi.

Work was no joke, which he never mixed with personal emotion.

Ziyi indeed had great potential.

Receiving Yibo’s commendation, Ziyi was a little excited, “I will work hard!”

Not long after Ziyi left, Cheng returned.

He pushed open the door and rushed in. His head was covered in sweat. He looked like he had just run over, more than worried.

“Where’s Ziyi?” Cheng ran to his desk.

“She’s gone.”

Cheng was even more anxious when he got the answer, “Where did she go? What did you do to her?”

“What can I do to her? I just ask her to call you and let her go.” Yibo said casually, his tone extremely innocent.

“Fuck! You cheated me!” Cheng suddenly fell into a chair and said, “Damn, I’m scared to death!”

He had known Yibo for a long time and knew how ruthless Yibo was. Therefore, when he heard that he went to Ziyi, he was so scared that he immediately ran back.

Yibo looked at him, expressionless, “Tell the truth.”

In the end, Cheng was forced by Yibo’s threat to tell him what had happened this morning.

He thought that Yibo would want to beat him up. but Yibo didn’t. But the result wasn’t much better than beating him up.

“There is no vacation for you next year. Work hard.” After Yibo finished speaking, he coldly added insult on injuries, “Anyway, as a rising artist, Ziyi wouldn’t fall in love with you. Single men have to work hard.”

Cheng gritted his teeth and said, “Let’s break it up!”

Yibo wasn’t angry at all and even smiled, “Ziyi hasn’t got a new agent yet.”

Cheng became intimidated immediately and suppressed his anger, “I… I am willing to work hard!”

“Then I’ll leave Ziyi to you.” The smile on Yibo’s face deepened.

Cheng muttered, “You wily old fox!”
