Early in the morning, Meng Zihan appeared at the entrance of Director Zhou's factory area, wearing high heels.

This factory is somewhat well-known in the port city. They make whatever makes money, from hardware parts to plastic casings, and even small household appliances for export.

With his silver tongue and ability to curry favor with powerful figures, Director Zhou managed to run his small factory with great success, making him a local bigwig.

Meng Zihan would never normally go to such a smoky and chaotic place unless there was a reason, but today she took the initiative to come, which surprised Factory Director Zhou, who had just finished venting his anger on the ledgers.

When he saw Meng Zihan walking in wearing a tight red dress and swaying her hips, his impatience immediately turned into a smile.

"What brings our Boss Meng here? Why are you being so proactive today? Did you miss your brother?"

Meng Zihan ignored his lewd remarks, walked straight to the boss's desk, leaned against the corner of the desk with her long legs crossed, and her posture was indescribably alluring.

She tapped her fingertips lightly on the table, her eyes smiling, but her question was direct.

"Brother Zhou, you're just joking with me. Any progress on that qualification I asked you to help me with last time?"

Factory Director Zhou's eyes swept over her, and he was practically drooling.

He grabbed Meng Zihan's hand that was tapping the table, rubbed it in his rough palm, and grinned with a greasy smile.

"Almost there, almost there. The person has been found, just one last stamp is needed. Don't worry, your Brother Zhou is never wrong."

Hearing this, Meng Zihan finally felt relieved, and her smile became more genuine.

She doesn't want anything else right now, she just wants this qualification.

With it, she could legitimately start her own company and completely get rid of Meng Xuejun, that good-for-nothing "burden" who only knew how to drink and brag.

With her major concern resolved, her mind became more active.

Her eyes darted around, as if she had suddenly remembered something, and she asked with a hint of curiosity.

"Brother Zhou, you have a wide network of connections and are well-informed. I want to ask you about someone. Do you know if a big boss surnamed Gu has recently come to Hong Kong?"

Factory Director Zhou was taken aback for a moment, then tightened his grip on her hand: "Boss Gu? Which Boss Gu? Why are you concerned about this? Do you have a new lover?"

"What new lover! What are you talking about, Director Zhou!" Meng Zihan pouted and protested indignantly.

Factory Director Zhou didn't quite believe it, and his expression turned rather unpleasant.

Fortunately, Meng Zihan had already prepared her explanation.

She withdrew her hand and sighed sadly.

"Yesterday I went to get my hair permed and overheard a few wealthy ladies chatting. They were talking about a boss named Gu Jingran, who was also from Jiangcheng. The name sounded familiar, and when I got home I realized, 'Isn't that my cousin's boyfriend?'"

She frowned, saying worriedly, "Director Zhou, you know I grew up at my aunt's house, and I'm very close to my cousin."

"But she's so stubborn and single-minded; she believes everything people say."

"I'm worried she'll be scammed, so I wanted to ask you about this Boss Gu. What's his background? Has he been causing trouble in Hong Kong? I don't want my cousin's sincere feelings to be wasted."

These words were spoken with such sincerity that Director Zhou had no idea about the mess in her family and simply took it as a genuine expression of sisterly affection.

He clicked his tongue and said, "President Gu, I really do know him. He's a real big boss, young and promising. He owns a big company in Jiangcheng and I heard he recently won a government bid. He's in Gangcheng to cooperate with the higher-ups on some municipal engineering project."

He leaned back in his chair, lit a cigarette, and continued, "A while ago, they were bidding for procurement. The orders were huge, and my small factory couldn't even get a piece of the pie. Later, I heard that a large international company won the bid."

At this point, he exhaled a smoke ring and squinted as he recalled, "I don't know anything else. But this President Gu has a strange habit. He only brings a male assistant when he comes to Hong Kong. He never shows his face at dinner parties or social events; his assistant handles everything. In our industry, which of us engineers doesn't discuss business over drinks and cuddle beautiful women at KTV? He's the only one who's like a monk, so everyone has a deep impression of him."

Factory Director Zhou chuckled and flicked his cigarette ash: "Looks like your cousin has good taste; she found a man of integrity. Men like that are hard to find these days."

Meng Zihan listened quietly with a faint smile on her face, but her heart was already in turmoil.

Did Gu Jingran come to Gangcheng on his own?

Ye Linchen didn't come along?

Isn't this a golden opportunity that God has delivered right to her doorstep?!

She and Gu Jingran were in Gangcheng, while Ye Linchen was in Jiangcheng, separated by a vast distance. It was truly a case of "the sky is high enough for birds to fly freely"!

As long as she can find a way to get in touch with Gu Jingran, with her looks and skills, how could she not have the advantage of being close to him?

Once she gets on Gu Jingran's good side, she can kick aside anyone, like Factory Director Zhou or Boss Li!

At that time, she will be Gu Jingran's rightful girlfriend and Gu Yifei's sister-in-law!

She wanted to see what expression Gu Yifei, who had looked down on her before, would have!

More importantly, she clearly remembered that Gu Jingran in her previous life never married and devoted himself to his work, eventually turning his company into a world-renowned multinational corporation, truly a figure at the top of the pyramid.

Moreover, Gu Jingran is much more charming than that hothead Gu Yifei!

If she can seize the opportunity and win him over, she can live a comfortable life as a wealthy socialite for the rest of her life and never have to put up with these stinky men again!

Thinking of this, Meng Zihan felt lightheaded, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up, revealing a sickeningly sweet smile.

When Director Zhou saw that smile, he felt a wave of pleasure wash over him.

He couldn't resist reaching out and pinching Meng Zihan's smooth cheek, leaning closer with an ambiguous smile, "What's wrong? You're so happy after hearing just a few words from me? This news is exclusive, so tell me, how are you going to thank me?"

Meng Zihan snapped out of her daze, her eyes sparkling, and gave him a flirtatious, disdainful look.

She raised her hand, her fingertips drawing circles lightly on his thick chest, her voice both sweet and seductive.

“My dear Brother Zhou, your information is not enough. If you are really capable, find out all the details about President Gu, such as which hotel he stays in and where he usually likes to go. I will naturally... thank you handsomely.”

Factory Director Zhou was aroused by her teasing, grabbed her mischievous hand, and burst into laughter.

"Okay! You wait! I promise I'll find out everything about him, even what color underwear he likes to wear!"

Meng Zihan playfully pushed him away, but didn't pull her hand back, letting him hold it.

She sneered inwardly: Just you wait, once I hook up with Gu Jingran, someone like you won't even be worthy to carry my shoes!
