Qi Lan and the handsome boy then shared a romantic French kiss, instantly eliciting cheers from the surrounding crowd.

Chu Fang was numb.

"what to do?"

Zhong Tingyue shrugged and said, "Tell Ma Junjie directly to cut off all contact with Qi Lan."

“But… …” Chu Fang frowned, “Isn’t that too cruel?”

Ma Junjie finally let go of his inner turmoil and started dating, but his girlfriend was very open-minded.

This was a huge blow to him.

"I don't know either."

Chu Fang: "..."

About five minutes later, the handsome guy came over: "Handsome, I have completed your task."

Chu Fang scanned the code to pay, and suddenly an idea popped into his head. He hurriedly said, "Brother, I'll give you another task. If you complete it, I'll give you two hundred thousand."

“No problem.” The handsome young man was very excited. He knew he had met a rich man and couldn’t let the opportunity slip by.

"Go and pursue that girl, date her for a month. After a month, whether you two are together or not, I don't care, okay?"

Chu Fang's idea was to make Qi Lan leave Ma Junjie, and eventually the two would break up, which might be less of a blow to Ma Junjie.

"It doesn't need to be that complicated."

Just then, Chu Fang heard a woman's voice. He instinctively thought it was Zhong Tingyue and rolled his eyes, saying, "Ms. Zhong, what do you know..."

Then he saw Zhong Tingyue with her long, curved eyelashes and bright, sparkling eyes, shrugging her shoulders as if it were none of his business. Chu Fang immediately realized what was happening and looked in the direction of the sound.

I'm numb...

Qi Lan and Zhao Yuejia stood beside them, watching them.

With immense willpower, Chu Fang suppressed his embarrassment and forced a smile: "What a coincidence to run into you here..."

Zhao Yuejia crossed her arms: "It can't be a coincidence, can it?"

"Wait, why am I embarrassed when Qi Lan makes a mistake? I should stand on the moral high ground and criticize Qi Lan's behavior." Chu Fang suddenly realized that he shouldn't be so cowardly; on the contrary, he should be more aggressive.

"Did you send this guy?" Zhao Yuejia glanced at the handsome boy.

Oh, I made a mistake too, sending a boy to test Qi Lan... Chu Fang, who had been mentally prepared to criticize Qi Lan, suddenly became cowardly again.

The scene became somewhat awkward for a moment.

Qi Lan broke the silence first, saying, "Give me 500,000, and I'll leave Ma Junjie and guarantee he won't get hurt."

"Deal!" Chu Fang snapped his fingers.

Chu Fang immediately called the bank and asked them to transfer the money. Even though it was the middle of the night, the bank still had service positions available for super-large clients.

Once the money arrived, Qi Lan called Ma Junjie and told him that she had terminal cancer and there was no cure. They broke up and never saw each other again.

Chu Fang: "..."

Seriously, sis, you did a really sloppy job on this 500,000 yuan project.

Can you make your lies even more convincing?

Upon hearing that Ma Junjie agreed to break up, Chu Fang did not pursue Qi Lan's methods.

Seeing that the matter was over, Chu Fang pulled Zhong Tingyue away from the bar.

"Hey? Dude, do you still stand by what you said?" the handsome guy quickly called out.

"What a load of crap! You've brought the 'Japanese devils' all this way, it's a good thing I haven't bothered you." Chu Fang was speechless.

Even at this point, this guy is still thinking about that 200,000 yuan task.

After Chu Fang and his companion left, the handsome young man looked at Qi Lan and said, "Baby..."

Then Qi Lan slapped the handsome boy across the face, making a loud "smack" sound. He touched his cheek, licking his lips, and said, "Baby, I love you so much..."

Snap snap snap... ...

Qi Lan slapped the handsome boy multiple times, making him scream and eventually leave, covering his face.

Zhao Yuejia asked Qi Lan, "Lanlan, is this all over? Chu Fang used other boys to set a trap. Can we tell Ma Junjie about this..."

Qi Lan slowly withdrew her gaze: "Let's stop here."

Having received 500,000 yuan, Qi Lan still maintained professional ethics.

... ...

On his way home, Chu Fang grew angrier and more agitated, eventually blaming everything on Zhong Tingyue.

"Zhong Tingyue, it's all your fault!"

"I?"

“Yes!” Chu Fang nodded. “If you fall asleep tonight, you won’t get up to knead the dough, you won’t come out to eat hot pot, you won’t discover Qi Lan’s true colors, and you won’t cause such an embarrassing situation. As for me, your legal husband, I lost 550,000 yuan, and you have to compensate me.”

Zhong Tingyue glanced at her sideways: "You're no better. You tested Qi Lan with other boys, and you think you did nothing wrong?"

Chu Fang and Zhong Tingyue looked at each other, then smiled.

Overall, tonight's events were a good thing, as they severed the relationship between Ma Junjie and Qi Lan before any greater disaster occurred.

They leisurely went home, then went to sleep. When Chu Fang woke up, it was already noon.

He propped himself up and paced around the room, calling out, "Ms. Zhong, Ms. Zhong..."

Then, seeing the border strips on the table, Zhong Tingyue went to work.

Chu Fang couldn't help but remark, "This woman is in really good spirits."

Despite doing so much work in the early hours of this morning, Zhong Tingyue was still able to get up and work.

Around noon, Chu Fang simply steamed some rice, and then used the leftover stir-fried garlic shoots and meat from the previous day to mix with the rice. After sitting overnight, the garlic shoots had become soft, and the seasonings had fully permeated the garlic shoots and meat. When mixed with white rice, the taste was simply divine.

After finishing my meal, taking a final sip of Coca-Cola was absolutely amazing.

"Ugh... I don't want to move." Chu Fang lay on the sofa, but immediately sat up. "Forget it, I'll go to Yateng Yige to see how Ma Junjie is doing, whether he's changed because of the broken relationship."

Chu Fang then arrived at Yatenyige, where many of his subordinates and employees cast strange glances his way.

"Hey? What brings President Chu to the company again?"

"Perhaps... Mr. Chu has fallen in love with his work."

"...You have a good sense of humor."

Chu Fang arrived at Ma Junjie's office, knocked on the door, and waited for someone inside to say "Come in." He then went in. At that moment, Ma Junjie was having a meeting with several managers. Upon seeing that it was Chu Fang, the managers left.

"Why are you here again?" Ma Junjie said while working.

"This company is mine."

"Then these tasks are yours to do."

Chu Fang: "..."

You're using a diode, right?

Ma Junjie looked up: "What are you doing here?"

"I like you, so I came to see you."

Just then, Ma Junjie's secretary brought in two cups of tea and froze on the spot.

What did I hear?

Should I not be here?

"You like me, so you made Qi Lan break up with me? You're a pervert."

"Huh?" Chu Fang's pupils widened. "How did you know?"

"It's obvious."

Ma Junjie took the teacup and flicked his secretary's forehead: "You young girls are always having all sorts of wild thoughts. My relationship with President Chu isn't what you think."

The secretary chuckled and then left the office.

Chu Fang was still shocked: "How did you guess that?"

“It’s quite simple,” Ma Junjie said unhurriedly. “Yesterday I took you to meet Qi Lan, and Qi Lan wanted to break up with me in the early hours of the morning. I don’t believe that you weren’t involved in this.”

"Besides, that reason for breaking up was too fake. Terminal cancer, such an absurd reason, only you could come up with it."

Chu Fang: "Then you don't blame me?"

“Then I blame you. I’m angry. I want to take a break for a while. I’ll hand the company over to you from now on,” Ma Junjie said calmly.

Chu Fang ignored the suggestion to rest and instead sat down at his desk: "Then guess why I made you two break up?"

“Qilan isn’t as conservative as she seems on the surface; she’s a rather open-minded and materialistic woman.” As he said this, Ma Junjie looked at Chu Fang and saw the shocked expression on his face, and he could also read the ‘why’ on Chu Fang’s face.

He paused for a moment and then said, "Are you wondering why I would date Qi Lan if I know her true colors? It's actually very simple: fish find fish, shrimp find shrimp, and turtles find turtles."

"Do you think I'm that great? Actually, in the dating market, I'm not good enough. I'm not handsome, and after all these years in Shanghai, all I have is a car. I have nothing else. And now my parents are forcing me to get married. What right do I have to be picky?"

Chu Fang said, "I'll give you an apartment and a million-dollar annual salary."

"I cannot accept rewards without merit," Ma Junjie refused.

"You are the general manager of Yatengyige, and you have handled so many things for me."

“I’m paid, so naturally I have to handle my work; it’s my duty.”

Why are you so stubborn?!

Ma Junjie shrugged.

"So what are you going to do next?" Chu Fang asked.

"Let's keep going on blind dates."

"He's just randomly picking another gold digger."

"That's just how the world is now, everything is based on money, so I don't have the right to be picky."

Chu Fang was silent for a few seconds, then said, "Next time you start dating, you have to let me see what's going on. I'll be your vet."

He snapped his fingers: "That's settled then."

After saying that, Chu Fang left the office, while Ma Junjie watched his retreating figure and smiled.

Chu Fang left the company, walked downstairs, and looked at the white clouds in the sky.

He had a strange feeling for Ma Junjie, which was certainly not romantic love.

The truth is, Ma Junjie pursued Zhong Tingyue for several years, and Chu Fang ultimately won her over. This isn't a big deal, after all, romantic relationships aren't one-sided, and there's no need for guilt. What matters is that Ma Junjie treated him... quite well.

When Chu Fang worked under him, he took him to social events and to build connections, hoping that Chu Fang could earn more money to make a living.

That's one aspect. On the other hand, Ma Junjie is a very upright person who has his own pursuits and ideals.

There are very few people like Ma Junjie in this world. He has worked so hard for so long and should not have received such an outcome.

"Sigh!" Chu Fang was filled with countless thoughts, which finally turned into a long sigh.
