When Wang Le entered the private room, he exuded the aura of a young master from a rich family as he lazily leaned against the sofa and his eyes swept past Mu Ran.

“You’re really beautiful today. We haven’t seen each other for three years and I almost couldn’t recognize you. If I didn’t know that you invited me here, I would have thought that some random beauty came to greet me.”

Mu Ran smiled and shook the wine glass in her hand.

“You’re also very handsome today, as charming as you were three years ago. As expected of the son of a noble family of Haigang City.”

Wang Le still narrowed his eyes slightly and moved closer to Mu Ran, “Your words will make people misunderstand. Although you are no longer Fu Ting’s wife, I’m still his best friend. You aren’t interested in me, right?”

Mu Ran shook her head and went straight to the point, stating her intention to invite Wang Le.

“The Wang family has been in business for generations and is very influential in Haigang City. Each of your older brothers are even more outstanding than the last. Over the years, be it the real estate industry or artificial intelligence, your family has earned a lot of money. Although you are one of the younger members of the family, you’re already in your mid-twenties. Don’t you want to do something to prove yourself?”

Although Wang Le looked like a playboy, he actually had studied abroad and had his own company in Haigang City. However, it was probably because he had never thought of using the Wang family’s wealth and influence that he chose to build a small business. Few people would pay attention to him, much less offer to work with him alone.

However, Mu Ran dared to. She was even glad that everyone in the world was deceived by Wang Le’s playboy appearance, giving her an opportunity to discover such a gem.

Wang Le was also startled. This was the first invitation he had received.

And it was because of him and not because of the influence of his family.

“I hope that you can seriously consider my suggestion just now. I’ll drink this first, feel free to do what you want.” Mu Ran raised her glass and downed it in a cool manner.

“Let me think about it again.”

Wang Le did not immediately agree. It was rare for him to be a little nervous.

Mu Ran did not say anything else, she was not in a hurry to get an answer after all. She brought Wang Le out of the private room just as the music changed. Before Wang Le could invite Mu Ran to dance, Qin Wei walked towards them and brought Mu Ran aside.

The crowd was crowded but Qin Wei only had eyes for Mu Ran.

He brought Mu Ran away as he placed his right hand gently on her shoulder and carefully protected her.

Wang Le sighed.

Based on this man’s nervous attitude towards Mu Ran, he guessed that he was Fu Ting’s competitor.

Qin Wei brought Mu Ran to a quiet corner. There was not much space, leaving only a fist’s distance between him and Mu Ran, “You told me before that in order to find out the truth of what happened back then, the first step would be to gain control of the company and make sure that the board of directors would listen to you. I’ve thought about it and the best way is to prove your abilities. As long as you prove that you can make a lot of money, they will naturally follow your lead.”

“Great minds think alike.” Mu Ran’s eyes lit up. Although those old guys would be benefiting a lot without doing much, it was indeed the fastest way to get results.

“So, choosing a way is especially important.”

Qin Wei motioned for Mu Ran to move closer to him so Mu Ran tiptoed and moved forward again. Qin Wei’s lips were extremely close to her ear as he spoke and Mu Ran nodded repeatedly at what he had said.

As expected of someone with a PhD in economics, his strategic vision and deployment were really impeccable!

Fu Ting came in and just so happened to see this scene.

He was used to seeing Mu Ran’s gentle and bare face and had never seen her leaning against another man so intimately, talking and laughing as if no one was around.

It was like… It was like a seductive vixen.

Fu Ting didn’t say anything. His gloomy face was full of hostility.

“Qin Wei, I’ll be back soon.”

Mu Ran felt Fu Ting’s sharp and cold gaze as she tidied up her messy hair and smiled at Qin Wei.

“I’ll go with you.”

Qin Wei held Mu Ran’s wrist. His eyes were so sharp that he wanted to tear Fu Ting apart!

If it weren’t for him, Mu Ran wouldn’t have suffered so much.

Mu Ran shook her head at him, indicating for Qin Wei to stay where he was. Then, she leisurely walked towards Fu Ting. However, when she passed by him, she took a few steps forward, picked up the small cake placed on the bar counter, examined it, and tasted it.

It was as if she didn’t see Fu Ting at all.

The anger in Fu Ting’s heart suddenly surged up!

She had done it on purpose!
