Night fell.

In an office of a high-end office building.

“President Tang, about the purchase of the Imperial Green Glass Type… President Tang, President Tang, President Tang?!”

“Ah, what did you just say?”

Tang Bingyun sat in her office chair, propping her snow-white chin with her hand, lost in thought. It was only after her female assistant called out several times that she snapped back to reality.

“President Tang, the payment of over 120 million for the Imperial Green Glass Type has been transferred to the designated account by the finance department. Here are the proof documents for you to review. If you find no issues, please sign them, and I’ll send them back to the finance department.”

The female assistant reported while handing over several sheets of 4K paper with printed text.

Tang Bingyun reached out to take them, glanced through, and then swiftly signed her name on them before handing them back to the assistant.

The assistant took the documents and left, gently closing the door behind her.

Once again, Tang Bingyun was alone in the office.

She drifted back into her thoughts, with a handsome young face repeatedly appearing in her mind. Gradually, a sweet smile inadvertently appeared on her usually icy face.

She allowed herself to daydream for who knows how long until the ringing of her phone pulled her back to reality.

Interrupted from her thoughts, she immediately put on a cold expression, picked up her phone, and wanted to see who was so annoying to disturb her at this moment.

But upon seeing the caller ID, the frost on her face instantly melted away, replaced by a look of joy and excitement.

“Aunt Tang, are you busy?” asked the voice on the other end of the line.

“Not busy, not busy, I’m just relaxing right now. I’ve already had the 120 million transferred to you. Did you receive it?”

“It’s already in my account; I got the notification.”

“That’s good. What are you doing now?”

“I just finished dinner and am about to attend evening self-study. By the way, there’s something I’d like to ask Aunt Tang for help with.”

“What is it? Just say it. No matter how difficult, I’ll help you get it done!”

“It’s not difficult at all; it’s just a matter of a word from Aunt Tang.”

“Oh?”

…

At ten o’clock in the evening.

In the brightly lit living room of a small villa.

Two people sat on the sofa in the living room, one was Qin Kai, and the other was Xiao Yifeng.

Xiao Yifeng looked around curiously, much like Grandma Liu visiting the Grand View Garden. (Note: a reference to a character from the Chinese classic novel “Dream of the Red Chamber” who is amazed by the opulence of a wealthy family’s estate)

“Yifeng, Yunhan lives in this small villa. You should also stay here from now on to conveniently protect her,” Qin Kai said.

“Uncle Qin, do you trust me that much?” Xiao Yifeng asked in surprise.

“Since I asked you to come, of course, I trust your character. It’s just that this villa is a bit small, with only two floors. Besides Yunhan, Zhaozhao also lives here, so it’s a bit cramped, but there are definitely enough rooms.”

“Zhaozhao?”

“She’s Yunhan’s childhood friend. Her full name is Mu Zhaozhao. You haven’t met her yet, but you’ll see her when they come back from school.”

Xiao Yifeng nodded.

“As for the salary, it’s fifty thousand a month. If you’re not satisfied, we can negotiate,” Qin Kai said.

“Fifty thousand?! I’m more than satisfied. The tasks the old man used to get for me only paid a hundred a month, and I had to risk my life. Compared to that, Uncle Qin, you’re really generous!” Xiao Yifeng exclaimed excitedly.

“A hundred? Haha.” Qin Kai was momentarily surprised but quickly realized that the “old man” Xiao Yifeng mentioned must have been skimming off his wages.

Checking the time, Qin Kai added, “At this time, Yunhan and the others should be back soon.”

As he finished speaking, the sound of the door unlocking with a fingerprint scanner was heard.

Xiao Yifeng immediately looked over.

When he saw Qin Yunhan during the day, he was truly amazed.

He hadn’t had enough of a look then, and now he could take a good look up close.

He hadn’t met Mu Zhaozhao yet, but he imagined that city girls wouldn’t be too different.

Thinking about living with two beautiful girls in the future, Xiao Yifeng was very excited.

Although he appeared honest on the surface, he was a bit lecherous inside.

Uncle Li hurried in.

“Where are Yunhan and Zhaozhao?” Seeing no one behind Uncle Li, Qin Kai couldn’t help but ask.

“I went to the school to pick them up, waited for a long time, but didn’t see them. I called, and the young lady directly told me she wants to stay in the girls’ dormitory at school and won’t be coming back to the villa anymore!” Uncle Li reported with a worried expression.

[Ding, the host has prevented the protagonist Xiao Yifeng from living under the same roof with the female leads Qin Yunhan and Mu Zhaozhao, affecting the plot direction, earning 200 villain points!]

At this moment, elsewhere, Wang Haoran, who had just returned home, received a small reward.

“Yunhan must be throwing a tantrum with me, deliberately not coming back,” Qin Kai sighed, immediately taking out his phone to call Qin Yunhan, but the receiver prompted: “The number you dialed is powered off, please try again later.”

“What should we do now, sir?” Uncle Li asked.

“Yunhan has been pampered since childhood. She won’t be used to living in a dormitory for long. She’ll come back on her own after a few days. Let her be,” Qin Kai replied, then turned to Xiao Yifeng, “Yifeng, I’ll arrange for you to attend Yunhan’s class in senior year tomorrow, so it’ll be easier for you to protect her in the future.”

“I haven’t studied much in the countryside. How can I attend senior year? They won’t accept me.”

“Don’t worry about it. Yunhan’s school is a private one. I have some connections with the school’s board. Getting you in is just a phone call away,” Qin Kai said confidently.

He immediately picked up his phone and dialed another number.

Once again, the receiver prompted: “The number you dialed is powered off, please try again later.”

Qin Kai’s expression turned strange.

It was normal for his daughter not to want to answer his calls and turn off her phone.

But what was going on with Tang Bingyun? She was a busy person, managing so many businesses, her phone should be on 24/7. How could it be off?

If the other party wasn’t actually off, but he still heard such a prompt.

Qin Kai could only think of one possibility for now.

That was, Tang Bingyun had blocked him.

“I haven’t offended her, have I?” Qin Kai pondered.

“Uncle Qin, can I still enroll tomorrow?” Xiao Yifeng asked.

“Uh… it might take a little longer,” Qin Kai replied awkwardly.

[Ding, the host has manipulated events behind the scenes, preventing the protagonist Xiao Yifeng from enrolling and getting close to the female leads Qin Yunhan and Mu Zhaozhao, earning 200 villain points!]

“Ah, this feels good!”

Wang Haoran couldn’t help but exclaim softly as he soaked in the bathtub.
