Chapter 561 - Maximizing Benefits

Xiang Xiaoyuan was packing up his things in the dormitory, and when he saw Zhong Yuan coming back, he smiled at her: I asked for leave from the unit, and I may not be able to come back for a while.

Zhong Yuan knew that Xiaoyuan was because of Lan Jiyu's matter, and she nodded: Her brother has no news yet?

There was no news at all. Xiao Yuan sighed and sat down and poured Zhong Yuan a glass of water.

But it's not good for you to take a leave of absence at this time.

The official documents have come down, and the station is about to be diverted, so taking a long leave of absence is likely to be a reason to keep him on duty.

Xiaoyuan also knows what is at stake, but there is no way: I can't think about it so much now.

Zhong Yuan suddenly remembered the relationship between Xiang Xiaoyuan and Cheng Hao, and couldn't help but smile, maybe she was really worried, the most important thing Xiaoyuan lacked in her life was money, but she was even more worried in her heart.

Xiaoyuan, in fact, I regret a little that I didn't object to you dating Mr. Cheng in the first place.

Hearing her say this, Xiao Yuan's heart suddenly cooled, and he was a little overwhelmed.

Zhong Yuan continued: If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I really didn't know that circle was so complicated. You can't bear those intrigues, and I don't want you to bear them.

Xiaoyuan smiled bitterly and lowered his head: I know, but now Cheng Hao has sold the company and is no longer in that circle.

But he's still a businessman, and sooner or later he's going to have to go back to that circle!

Xiao Yuan understood this truth, and didn't know how to answer, so he could only continue to bow his head and be silent.

Zhong Yuan knew that Xiao Yuan was uncomfortable, so he didn't continue, but patted himself on the shoulder:

Since there's no way back, let's go on. But the place here will always be reserved for you, and if you can't hold it anymore, come back!

Xiang Xiaoyuan's eyes suddenly turned red, and she slowly walked to Zhong Yuan's side, snuggled her head on her shoulder, and snorted vigorously.

I'm on a long leave with my employer. Xiang Xiaoyuan stood in front of Cheng Hao with a suitcase, and he had the posture of being a permanent resident.

Great! Cheng Hao was very happy, but suddenly understood that she shouldn't be for herself: Are you going to move to the Lan family?

Xiang Xiaoyuan shook her head and wanted to move her suitcase upstairs, but Cheng Hao hurriedly took it over and helped her move into the bedroom.

I was relieved that Mr. Shang was there. I can't have a head-on conflict with Zheng Manlin now, there must always be someone in the light and someone in the dark.

Cheng Hao couldn't wait for this, after all, he didn't want Xiaoyuan to be too deeply involved.

As for you, the idler Xiaoyuan looked Cheng Hao up and down: Don't you want to decorate? Then decorate!

Cheng Hao was stunned for a moment, and suddenly understood what Xiaoyuan meant.

Seeing his eyes shining excitedly, Xiao Yuan hurriedly poured cold water: You can do whatever you want, but you can't decorate my room!

Cheng Hao was depressed, obviously what he wanted to decorate the most was Xiang Xiaoyuan's room: then he had to change to a big bed!

Xiao Yuan understood what he meant, and immediately blushed, she stuck out her tongue at Cheng Hao and made a grimace: No!

Then push him out the door.

Although Cheng Hao was shut out, his heart was still warm, and he hadn't felt so down-to-earth and happy for a long time.

The night was dark, and the moon was obscured by thick clouds. The oak trees in the courtyard rattled in the wind, and the low roar of the wind through the bushes added a chill to the lifeless European-style mansion.

The light in the study was still on, and Shang Peng was looking through the documents left by Lan Shaoqi, hoping to find clues about his disappearance.

I don't know if it's because he was too involved, Lan Jiyu pushed the door in and didn't notice it.

It's so late and you haven't slept yet, have you?

Shang Peng was taken aback by her, and quickly put away the files and closed the computer.

Why didn't you sleep?

I couldn't sleep, and when I saw that the light in the study was still on, I came over to have a look. Xiaoyu smiled.

As long as the light in the study is on, she will have the illusion that her brother is still at home.

Lan Shaoqi always works late and likes to stay in the study, sometimes he will push open the door of Lan Jiyu and come in to see if she is asleep, and then touch her forehead with his hand.

She still remembered the temperature of his palm, and she closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep, pretending that she never knew his hard work. Pretend to be the innocent, innocent, forever willful and naïve little sister in his heart.

These days have bothered you. Lan Jiyu bowed to Shang Peng and thanked him from the bottom of his heart.

Shang Peng hurriedly held Xiaoyu up: Fool, what are you talking about?

Lan Jiyu hid his face and cried softly, if there was no Xiaoyuan, no Shang Peng, and no loyal employees in these days when his brother was away, he really didn't know how to support himself.

Thank you, fortunately, my brother still has you as a good friend, thank you for not leaving, or I really don't know what to do.

The more Lan Jiyu cried, the more sad she became, she had always thought that Shang Peng was just a fox friend who had a good time with her brother, and it wasn't until the catastrophe came that she knew that he was the one she could rely on.

Seeing that Lan Jiyu's pale little face was covered with tears, his emaciated shoulders couldn't stop trembling with crying, he couldn't breathe but still wanted to say thank himself, Shang Peng's heart couldn't help but hurt.

She didn't know that everything she was doing now was full of purpose, and the Lan family was one of the driving forces behind today's results.

Seeing Lan Jiyu's teary eyes, he suddenly became a little confused, what was he taking revenge on the Lan family for? Shouldn't he be happy to see her family ruined and Lan Shaoqi die? But why is he still here to help the Lan family take care of everything, and he is still looking for Lan Shaoqi's whereabouts?

It's too late, go back to sleep.

Shang Peng stretched out his hand to touch Lan Jiyu's cheeks with teardrops, and said with a smile: Don't worry, your brother will definitely be fine.

Lan Jiyu wiped her tears and nodded, watched Shang Peng leave, and then turned to the desk to pick up a photo frame on it.

It was a photo of myself and my brother, in which I was still very young, being held in the arms of my brother who had just entered college, and the cherry blossom tree in the yard was blooming with pink clouds. The smiles on their faces came from the bottom of their hearts, full of brilliance, like the flowers that bent the branches.

Lan Jiyu held the photo frame in his arms and curled up in the big boss's chair, as if his brother was still by his side and had never left.

I don't know how long it took, Lan Jiyu suddenly thought of something, she hurriedly jumped off the chair and ran towards the bookshelf.

One, two, three, she stood on her tiptoes and counted the blocks of the floor like a white cat.

Here it is! She stomped on it and slammed a bookshelf away, using the letter knife in the pen holder to pry the floor open.

It was empty under the floor, and there were some papers in it.

Lan Jiyu hurriedly took out the documents, and then restored everything to its original state, and then fled back to his room in a panic with these documents.

Her heart was beating too fast, she couldn't help but cover her chest and gasp for breath, she had to hold on, no matter what, she silently asked her heart to be stronger, and she couldn't fall down at this time.

Finally, my heart was not so stuffy, and Xiaoyu let out a sigh of relief.

I remember playing hide and seek with my brother when I was a kid, and they would always hide some toys under the floor. Now that the playroom has become a study, it's almost forgotten that it was once a childhood favorite.

This is the secret of the two of them, but I didn't expect my brother to still hide the documents there.

What kind of documents could it be hidden by his brother in such a secret place? Lan Jiyu thought about it as he slowly opened the document bag.

She looked at it, and the more she looked, the more frightened she became. No wonder my brother hid it in that kind of place.

If it weren't for their unintentional inspiration, I believe they would have disappeared with their brother's disappearance.

It is estimated that my brother didn't intend to tell anyone at all, and she was a little shocked and sad when she knew it, but she was also inexplicably relieved.

It's a pity that there are no clues about my brother's disappearance, no matter how important it is, it is meaningless to me.

***

In the box of the private restaurant, Shang Peng stroked his forehead and frowned, while Cheng Hao and Lou Jie also weaved their fingers and buried their heads in silence.

You two are talking about something! Shang Peng was a little anxious when he saw that they were silent.

What else can be said? There is nothing to say except weirdness. Lou Jie smiled bitterly.

Maybe everyone thinks that Lan Shaoqi's disappearance is related to themselves, but they don't know about it; maybe everyone thinks that the Lou family is the biggest beneficiary of the Lan family's accident, but only they know what a heavy loss it is to lose Lan Shaoqi.

He glanced at Cheng Hao, it turned out that the feeling of being the Black Cauldron Emperor was so cheating and aggrieved, and now that he had tasted this taste, he couldn't help but feel a feeling of pity for Cheng Hao.

Cheng Hao was a little uncomfortable by his gaze, and couldn't help but turn his head and avoid: Now is the best time to annex Landing, if we can convince Lan Jiyu, then even if Lan Shaoqi can't get the shares in his hand, we can also get Landing by injecting capital and irrigation.

Shang Peng shouted and jumped up: I said that you are really a profiteer, are you still in the mood to think about this at this time?

Cheng Hao smiled: Thank you for your praise.

Lou Jie smiled bitterly and shook his head: If I do this, I am afraid that I will be scolded for even the eight generations of my ancestors.

So let's stop for now. If we force the blue monsoon rain to be in a hurry, and take another life, our sins will be heavy. Cheng Hao sighed, there are still more tricky things than annexing Landing.

He bowed his head to Shang Peng and said, "The Lan family has worked hard for you." The busier you are, the less the garden will be able to mix.

Shang Peng smiled bitterly, he was completely difficult to ride a tiger now, he squinted at Cheng Hao: Don't blame me for not reminding you, if the girl in Xiaoyuan knew that you were from the Lou family, the consequences would be unimaginable. You'd better plan ahead!

Cheng Hao and Lou Jie glanced at each other, this was something they knew, but they didn't think of a solution at all, so they could only continue to be silent.
