(Thanks to all the brothers who voted for the Monthly Pass, today we’ll continue with 3 updates! Hehe, dare to get a few more Monthly Passes, aiming for 550?)

Upon hearing the true meaning behind being sent to the frontier, not domestically but actually to Western Continent, Li Yan was truly amused. They really wanted to send him far away!

Then he heard phrases like ’business development skills are evident to all, you’re very confident yourself, with a grand perspective, open vision, passionate and motivated in new fields’ as praise. Only then did he realize that the initial praise of Zhang Yurong and using Wen Qianyi to elevate Ye Jiahong was actually a setup.

"Western Continent market... Mr. Zhang, my personal abilities are actually quite limited; I’m still more adept at domestic and Yun Country District affairs. Someone else should handle Western Continent! The current Western Continent District manager is doing a good job, let him stay on. I’m more suitable for the business department..." Ye Jiahong said with a face full of doom.

Regarding Zhang Yurong’s arrangement, Li Yan vigorously explored her jade-like feet to show encouragement.

His little actions below caused Zhang Yurong to furrow her brows.

Seeing her frown, Ye Jiahong’s heart sank. Connecting it with what was said just after entering, he realized the CEO has decided to let Wen Qianyi continue managing the business department. If he insisted on staying in the business department, it would be hard to arrange. If he were to follow Wen Qianyi’s arrangements, he might as well leave the company. But he was unwilling to leave, so after a quick thought, before Zhang Yurong with furrowed brows could speak, he hurriedly said:

"Mr. Zhang, I know the group company is strongly promoting overseas expansion. Although Western Continent is an emerging market with great potential, there are many aspects that are not standardized, and it won’t directly boost the company’s performance significantly. In contrast, Si Country, Beihai Country, Celestial Continent are difficult to develop, but once expanded, it will be very significant for the company’s growth. Let me tackle the challenging areas, I apply to go to Si Country or Beihai Country branches!"

This was a compromise since staying at headquarters couldn’t restore him to his original position, which would be a dilemma. The CEO wasn’t pleased, others didn’t like him, it was already such a situation, so he might as well go abroad, become a high-ranking official where the emperor is far away, with greater interests. Of course, even among overseas options, whether Si Country, Beihai Country, Beautiful Country, or Iwakuni, they’re all more attractive than Western Continent.

Zhang Yurong gestured him to retrieve the appointment letter that hadn’t been announced, then furrowed her brows to ponder for a moment, nodded and said, "Since this is your idea, I support it. However, the Si Country branch is small, you won’t be able to make an impact, the last time Wen Qianyi and Li Yan went to Beihai Country, the results were good, it’s better to let them cooperate with Beihai Country branch. How about Beautiful Country?"

"Beautiful Country?" Ye Jiahong secretly smiled bitterly: "Alright."

"Then go back and rest for a few days, we’ll notify you after the company meeting makes a decision!"

"Thank you, Mr. Zhang!" Ye Jiahong thanked her and left with a bitter face. He regretted rashly coming today, still underestimating his impact in front of Zhang Yurong.

Of course, he didn’t expect the decisive influence to be that scene where he asked Li Yan for help in Li Yan’s office! To avoid having him "entangle" Li Yan, Zhang Yurong truly wanted to send him as far away as possible. Since he was unwilling to go to Western Continent, forcing him would only result in resignation; Beautiful Country is relatively farther away.

Below, Li Yan could imagine Ye Jiahong’s desolation at this moment. But to him, Ye Jiahong seemed lucky! Because he originally planned to continue punishing Ye Jiahong, if he stayed at the company’s headquarters, especially returned to the position of business department director, an accident, like a car crash, was likely to await him, ensuring he’d continue in a hospital. This result is quite good.

After Ye Jiahong went out and the door closed, Zhang Yurong forcefully pulled back her foot, lowered her head, and berated cutely: "How long are you going to hold it?"

The jade foot wrapped in flesh-colored stockings still wasn’t released, and was held tightly by Li Yan. He laughed and said: "Haven’t properly appreciated it yet!"

"Aren’t you disgusting?" Just now, with Ye Jiahong present, Yurong had to stay very calm, her heart was also tense, now that no one else was around, seeing him playing with her foot made her feel ashamed.

Li Yan wanted to joke, "What’s this? Licking your foot would be disgusting." But considering Yurong’s tolerance, even as a joke, it was a bit too much. So he seriously said, "My good wife’s whole body makes me intoxicated, being able to touch your little foot is already a rare thing for me, how could it be disgusting?"

"You..." Zhang Yurong’s face turned crimson, wanting to call him shameless, yet he appeared to be praising her. Remembering they’re in an office, feeling a little guilty and nervous, she could only whisper and plead: "Hurry up and come out! Don’t play anymore, alright?"

Both shared such an appealing secret, Li Yan also felt it was enough; continuing would be counterproductive, causing her to be nauseated.

He released his hold, gesturing for Yurong to slide her chair a bit.

Zhang Yurong quickly put on her slippers, then slid the chair away, letting him out.

Li Yan emerged from under the desk, stretched lazily beside her. Yurong turned her head to look, her face burning hot, feeling a peculiar thrill. Her body’s thrill, from the beginning when he kissed her up until now, nearly never stopped.

"Alright! Hurry out! Want to slack off?" Zhang Yurong coughed dryly, trying to be serious.

Li Yan looked at her flushed cheeks, clearly a blushing shy look, trying to show CEO authority, appearing somewhat incongruous, quite cute.

This made him bow his head and lightly kiss her forehead, then softly say, "I’m leaving." Today’s enough, it’s an office, can’t go overboard.

"Hmm."

"Are you in a rush to go to the bathroom?"

"Get lost!" Yurong, embarrassed and annoyed, grabbed a pen and pretended to stab him.

...

Because of some playful teasing with Li Yan in the office that afternoon, when Zhang Yurong returned home that evening, she couldn’t maintain her usual composure upon seeing Li Yan. Although she intentionally put on a stern face and ignored him, there was a hint of shyness in her brows.

The opening ceremony for "Springtime Leaked" was considered a relatively successful promotion. That evening, and the following day, the news spread from online media to television and the entertainment sections of newspapers, introducing the film for the first time to a wider audience. The presence of many stars made people feel it was a major production. Of course, industry insiders still understood it was merely a patchwork-style film.

The lawyer, threatened by Duan Haibo, didn’t dare to slack off, and hurriedly went to the detention center that day. Using his methods, he induced the foreigner to recount the truth of the matter from start to finish to him, the lawyer, and recorded it with a hidden recording pen.

He spent quite some time organizing all the document materials, leaving them in the office, waiting for them to be stolen. Due to the anticipated "theft" disguise, he would lose a lot of his materials, so he quickly backed up the relevant computer data and took copies of important document materials.

The next night, Duan Haibo broke into his office, took the prepared pack of documents, along with many other unrelated documents, and left the office a mess. After receiving permission from Duan Haibo, the lawyer "discovered" the theft when he went to work on Wednesday and reported it to the police.

After getting those documents from Duan Haibo, Li Yan first checked them himself, feeling there was enough evidence to prosecute. But as it only involved one person from Changhe Group interacting with that foreigner, even if they really did prosecute, and the other party sacrificed a pawn to protect the king, it wouldn’t implicate Changhe Group. However, with this opportunity, they could leverage public opinion heavily, launching an extra-legal assault on Changhe through media and public discourse.

After re-wrapping these documents, he hesitated a bit. These needed to be handed over to Zhang Yurong, so she could arrange for someone to handle them. However, if he went to the executive office himself, Ke Yunyun and the others definitely wouldn’t let him see Zhang Yurong; they might just make him leave the documents. Even if they notified Zhang Yurong and let him in, it would make everyone notice Zhang Yurong’s unusual treatment of him. There was a movie opening ceremony he could use as an excuse on Monday, but now he didn’t have a reason.

After thinking for a while, he called Jiang Xueyin in. Jiang Xueyin, being Zhang Yurong’s cousin, at least the MMs in the executive office should know this, if not more broadly. Moreover, her identity wasn’t that secretive; there was no harm in people knowing about it. Zhang Yurong hadn’t used her power to give her cousin a raise or promotion or anything.

"Manager, do you have any instructions?" Jiang Xueyin still habitually walked right in.

Li Yan waved her over and handed her the file bag containing all the evidence, "Help me give this to your cousin, and make sure to hand it over to her personally."

Jiang Xueyin, however, stood at attention, "Report to the manager: During work hours, personal matters are not allowed!"

"..." Li Yan was at a loss for words; this girl was doing it on purpose. "Okay, spill it, what do you want in return? If the demands are too high, I’ll just go up myself."

Jiang Xueyin wasn’t really looking for favors; she just wanted to see him in a difficult situation. Seeing him say this, she finally took it, "I don’t need anything, just satisfy my curiosity by telling me what’s inside and why it must be handed to my cousin personally."

"Of course, it’s documents!" Li Yan pointed at the yellow file bag.

"Liar, if it were ordinary documents, would you bother sealing it?" The less he said, the more Jiang Xueyin’s curiosity was piqued.

"Alright! Deliver it first, and I’ll tell you what’s inside when you come back."

"Pfft! Then why shouldn’t I just open it there to see what it is?"

"Yurong wouldn’t open it in front of you."

"Brother-in-law, just tell me... I’m not interested in your gift; I just want to see what you’re giving her."

"No way, if I tell you, you’ll refuse to deliver it." Li Yan shook his head.

"If you tell me, I’ll deliver it right away! If I don’t, I’m a puppy!"

"Really?" Li Yan acted mysterious, then laughed, "A set of sexy lingerie!"

"Yuck...!" (To be continued. For more, please log on to www.qidian.com, more Chapters to support the author, support legitimate reading!)
