As a designer, Shi Yunnan had zero tolerance for ‘design theft’.

Today, he and Qin Jian came to the company for Yuan Hong, one of the moles. He didn’t expect to see the sneaky Chen Hui as soon as he arrived at the ground floor of the company.

Therefore they didn’t catch one but two turtles in the urn1.

Yuan Hong and Chen Hui suddenly panicked when they heard that they were going to jail.

“I didn’t do it! Yuan Hong instructed me! I have resigned from the company! I’m not an employee here anymore! This matter has nothing to do with me!”

“Mr. Shi, I…”

Shi Yunnan turned around and left, not intending to listen to their explanation at all. Of course, he never planned to let them go.

Qin Jian came up and firmly stopped the two of them from retreating, “We have already called the police. If you have anything to say, please slowly explain to the police!”

Chen Hui and Yuan Hong stared at Shi Yunnan’s back. Beaten black and blue, they were covered with wounds and cut a sorry figure at the moment.

Chen Hui’s face turned red, wishing he could kill Yuan Hong. He endlessly throwed profanity at him.

Yuan Hong’s face was pale, his body was covered in hot and cold sweat, and his head was buzzing.

He no longer had the energy to stop Chen Hui’s scolding. His guts turned green with regret at this moment—

He originally had a stable and decent job. His annual salary was enough to make his wife and children happy, and to make relatives and friends envious.

Why did he walk into this mess?

When all is said and done, it was all his fault. He was deceived by Luo Yanchuan’s ‘big pie’. Now that he had self-destructed his own future, would the other party come to the police station to fish him out? Obviously not.

With such a big disturbance in the safety passage, it would be difficult for the employees inside the company not to know about it.

Under the disbelieving and contemptuous gazes of a group of people, Yuan Hong and Chen Hui were both taken away from the company by the police, their lives completely turned into a joke.

As soon as Yuan Hong left, his place was naturally vacant.

During this period, Chang Le, an intern who helped run errands in secret, was promoted to the position of team leader by Shi Yunnan and other high-level executives.

Without including the bonus commission percentage that Lou company would give after the quarterly summary, his salary alone had doubled several times!

This incident attracted the envy and admiration of the other investment department’s employees.

What is this called?

Stand on the right team! Get the well-deserved money!



Shi Yunnan was in a particularly good mood after dealing with the two moles Chen Hui and Yuan Hong. Seeing that it was still early, he temporarily decided to follow Qin Jian to the headquarters of the Luo Group.

The exclusive elevator went straight to the top floor.

As soon as the two got out of the elevator, a young and beautiful female secretary greeted them, “Brother Jian.”

The female secretary looked at Shi Yunnan’s unfamiliar but handsome face and asked politely, “Who is this gentleman?”

The person who could make Qin Jian take him to the top office must have a big background.

“Shi Yunnan, Mr. Shi.”

Qin Jian introduced him in one short phrase without deliberately publicizing the relationship between Luo Lingsheng and Shi Yunnan, for fear that the two of them would not be used to it.

“Ling Na, is the patriarch busy?” Qin Jian asked.

Ling Na replied somewhat hesitantly, “Mr. and Mrs. of the second house are here. It hasn’t been ten minutes since they entered Director Luo’s office.”

“Mr. Shi, would you please come to the reception room with me first?”

When Shi Yunnan heard the first half of the sentence, he probably guessed some reasons.

Last week, Luo and Lou’s Huazhongge jointly sued Zhao and their brand for design plagiarism, and the case was still in process.

However, due to the attention and criticism of online public opinion, as well as sufficient time and evidence, it was almost certain that Lou could win this infringement lawsuit.

According to the relevant regulations, they should be able to reap a considerable amount of compensation.

According to the lawyer’s words, Zhao pushed the main responsibility onto Yalan brand, and also said that it was a scam deliberately created by Xie Keyue.

Xie Keyue’s factory had been closed down by the relevant departments, and he had piled up a lot of messy lawsuits. Perhaps he would also alarm old man Shi this time because of this big problem.

In addition, Luo Yanchuan’s activities of hiding behind the shell company ‘Yate’ to hurt Luo Group interest couldn’t be hidden.

It could be assumed that Luo’s second house was informed of this, that’s why they rushed to cover up for their worrisome son.

“Mr. Shi? Please come with me to the conference room?” Ling Na asked again.

As soon as the word ‘yes’ came out of Shi Yunan’s mouth, the closed office door opened.

Luo Dexing and his wife walked out of the office one after another. The former didn’t look very good, while the latter carried the look of ‘life after surviving a disaster’ happiness.

The two seemed to recognize Shi Yunnan, but because of the current situation, they bypassed him and others without saying a word.

“It’s less than fifteen minutes since they went in, how come they’re out so soon?” Ling Na whispered to Qin Jian.

Shi Yunnan stood where he was, staring at the second house couple as they entered the elevator and left.

Ling Na glanced at Shi Yunnan, who was standing in the same place, and said cordially, “Mr. Shi, wait a moment, Director Luo will have an international conference in fifteen minutes. Let me go in and inform him of your visit…”

“Fifteen minutes?” Shi Yunan muttered.

He didn’t wait for the other party to finish speaking, and then walked towards the office with a smile.

Seeing his ‘rash’ words and deeds, Ling Na immediately wanted to stop him, but Qin Jian stopped her first, “Let Mr. Shi go, the patriarch will not be angry.”

The only person who could enter and leave the Patriarch’s office at will without any announcement was probably Mr. Shi.



Shi Yunnan pushed open the office​ door, only to find that there was actually a small compartment inside.

Yuan Meng and another bodyguard were guarding the door on the left, and on the right was a small glass office, which seemed to be Qin Jian’s usual work space.

Shi Yunnan took two steps forward, and the bodyguard at the door alertly reached out his hand to stop him, “Stop!”

Shi Yunnan stopped in cooperation, but shifted his gaze to the more familiar Yuan Meng, jokingly said, “Yuan Meng, you won’t let me in? But Qin Jian let me in.”

“…..”

Yuan Meng silently withdrew his hand that was stopped in mid-air, and said solemnly to his bodyguard colleague, “No need to stop him.”

Otherwise, if Mr. Shi patted his butt and left, the patriarch would definitely be angry when he found out, and the last to suffer would be them.

Then he would definitely be teased by Qin Jian in private, absolutely not!

Yuan Meng was the main captain of this group of bodyguards. Seeing this, the other person had no choice but to withdraw his hand.

Shi Yunnan raised his eyebrows in satisfaction, and politely knocked on the door of the inner office.

“Come in.” A clean and sharp monotone sounded.

Shi Yunnan decisively opened the door and entered.

Even at the end of September, the air-conditioning in the office was still turned on at full force. The interior space was larger than expected, and the overall tone was a sedated black.

Luo Lingsheng sat at the desk, bowing his head. It was unknown what document he was examining and approving, but his eyebrows were furrowed, all of which showcased intimidating pressure.

He had changed into a pair of unremarkable black filament-framed glasses, but it unexpectedly set off his cold and stern facial features even more. The three-piece suit he wore outlined the proportions of his body to the extreme.

For Shi Yunnan, Luo Lingsheng was a superior person who could form a deadly aggression by his appearance.

Perhaps sensing the excessive staring at the entrance, Luo Lingsheng raised his eyes with unpleasant resistance, “Who let you in…”

It seemed he was about to issue a warning but stopped after saying only four words.

Luo Lingsheng’s brows subconsciously loosened. Staring at the person who suddenly appeared at the door of the office, his cold and sharp temperament suddenly eased.

“Busy? I’m not here at the right time?”

Shi Yunnan said apologetic words, but his feet walked toward the table without any hesitation.

Luo Lingsheng hadn’t finished reading the document he was going to use in the meeting later, but he closed it and replied without changing his expression, “I’m not busy.”

Shi Yunnan stopped at the table, “What did Luo Dexing and his wife come to see you for? Is it to plead for Luo Yanchuan?”

“They didn’t mention Luo Yanchuan the whole time, they only said they wanted to retire when they were older, and wanted to transfer 5% of their shares to me.”

Luo Lingsheng had a contemplating look when he talked about it, and it was mixed with a trace of not-so-serious contempt.

Shi Yunnan reacted, “They are using this bargaining chip to let you spare Luo Yanchuan this time? What do you think?”

“Do you know how much Luo’s five percent share is worth?”

Luo Lingsheng remembered the hellish ‘fight’ that year, and his pupils were vaguely flooded with hostility.

Back then, the main house and the third house could compete for even 1% of the shares. Behind the scenes, there was no telling how many schemes they had plotted.

Only the husband and wife of the second house played it safe and kept themselves from troubles by living like a shrinking turtle. Now they were willing to take out nearly half of the shares at once in order to protect Luo Yanchuan.

No one really knew whether the couple was eager to protect their beloved son, or they were too afraid of Luo Lingsheng’s cruel means.

“Compared to Luo Yanchuan’s small loss in the cosmetics industry, this share was like a piece of fat meat.”

Originally, these shares should have been left for Luo Yanchuan, their only son, but now they had to transfer it to Luo Lingsheng unconditionally.

If Luo Yanchuan knew about this, he would have been angry enough to vomit blood. Not only that, he had to be more prepared than ever for Luo Lingsheng’s oppression.

The psychological lesson was the most tormenting.

Luo Lingsheng was like a hunter who had already taken control of the situation, letting the prey throw mischief within his controllable range.

He was always standing high waiting till his prey thought it was safe to try crossing the line, then he would ruthlessly kill it in his own territory.

Shi Yunnan realized that Luo Lingsheng had his own plans, so he didn’t say anything against it for the time being——after all, compared to the plot development in the original story, today’s Luo Lingsheng had already taken precautions early.

Luo Lingsheng looked at him and changed the subject, “What are you doing here?”

“Can’t I just come to see you?”

Shi Yunnan detoured most of the long table, stopped and bent down for Luo Lingsheng as always, saying, “If I didn’t come here, how would I know that Mr. Luo’s female secretary is so beautiful? She also speaks softly and is particularly pleasing to the eyes.”

“Oh? You think so?”

Luo Lingsheng took off his glasses, his lips curved slightly, “I forgot to tell you…”

“Whether it’s Miss Lou or the secretary, second young master Shi doesn’t have to use them to test me. I’m not interested in women.”

Is he confessing his sexual orientation?

Shi Yunnan obviously didn’t expect to get this answer. After a slight paused, he happily responded——

“What a coincidence, neither am I.”

Shi Yunnan glanced at the watch on Luo Lingsheng’s wrist, and his smile became more obvious, “Luo Lingsheng, I’m here to report to you.”

The female secretary said that Luo Lingsheng would have an international conference in fifteen minutes. Shi Yunnan was not a clingy person who would disturb other people’s work, so she simply mentioned the purpose of coming here.

Luo Lingsheng asked, “Report?”

“The nightclub I invested in and cooperated with Fu Ziyu has been in trial operation for almost a month now. I was too busy a while ago and couldn’t find a suitable time to go.”

“Tonight I want to go check out the situation. I will definitely drink less and won’t ever mess around.”

Shi Yunnan leaned a little closer, with a smiling tone that was affectionate and provocative.

“Husband, will you let me go?”

“…..”

Luo Lingsheng’s breathing was tightened. He didn’t expect Shi Yunnan to actually remember his previous promise and mistake.

Seeing that he didn’t speak, Shi Yunnan added, “Or do you want to accompany me? I’d be happy to have you personally supervise me.”

Luo Lingsheng looked at the thin lips that were close at hand, and when he regained his breathing rhythm, he moved a little closer, and their breath became entangled.

“So well-behaved?”

Three simple words, the low voice was pressed in the throat, there was an indescribable sexiness and…

desire.

In the end, Shi Yunnan was the first to lose. He felt his heartbeat start to accelerate and quickly moved a little further away, but his speech started to be out of tune.

“Of course, there are not many partners under the sky who are as well-behaved as I am. Mr. Luo must treat me better, so others won’t be envious.”

Luo Lingsheng let out a short chuckle without any objection, “Go ahead, I’ll be busy in a while.”

The implication was that he definitely didn’t intend to accompany Shi Yunnan to the nightclub.

Shi Yunnan got the expected answer, and while he secretly calmed his heartbeat, he also felt an indescribable sense of loss. Before he could understand this inexplicable emotion, he heard Luo Lingsheng add:

“Give me the address of the nightclub. I’ll pick you up later when I finish my work.”
