After saying that, Zhan Yaxin left the Lu Group in her high heels without looking back.

"Then you can just wait."

After Zhan Yaxin left, Li Anran chuckled softly, "That day will never come."

After confirming that Zhan Yaxin had left, Yang Quan knocked directly on Lu Shen's office door.

"Enter."

Upon hearing the approval, Yang Quan naturally pushed open the door and went straight to the leather sofa in the office, where he comfortably crossed his legs and sat down.

Looking at his smooth and effortless movements, Lu Shen roughly guessed his intentions. Before Yang Quan could speak, he raised an eyebrow and teased, "Looks like you've already gotten rid of one of the 'troublemakers' in the department and are here to ask me for a reward?"

"Young Master Lu is truly a genius; he knew what happened without me even having to tell him. However, it's not time to reward him for his service. It was my duty; how could I possibly ask for credit or reward? I'm not Zhan Yaxin."

Yang Quan smiled slightly, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes.

"Zhan Yaxin is too ambitious. You should have realized this a long time ago and wanted to find an opportunity to deal with her."

Lu Shen succinctly revealed Yang Quan's long-held plan.

"I did see Zhan Yaxin's ambition a long time ago."

Yang Quan nodded readily in acknowledgment.

“It’s good for employees to be ambitious. Ambitious people are motivated and proactive, which is exactly what the company needs. But too much ambition is not good, especially someone like Zhan Yaxin who will do anything to achieve her ambitions. Keeping someone like her in the company will corrupt the company’s atmosphere sooner or later. I’ve long disliked her behavior and wanted to get rid of her.”

"Just then, Li Anran arrived."

Lu Shen smiled and replied with a sentence.

"Yes. Li Anran's timing was too perfect. This woman is no pushover either. When I saw that she was here, I decided to let Li Anran and Zhan Yaxin fight it out, and I was happy to enjoy the show. As it turns out, Li Anran did not disappoint me and actually managed to defeat Zhan Yaxin."

Yang Quan laughed as he spoke. Li Anran's move had really saved him a lot of trouble. If he didn't dislike her, he would have really thanked her.

"So, Director Yang, when do you plan to tackle the other 'trouble'? Getting rid of one won't completely solve the problem."

Lu Shen, as if watching a good show, crossed his arms and leaned back in his chair, then casually asked.

Zhan Yaxin wasn't a big shot, and he didn't even look at her. What really gave him a headache was Li Anran. If Yang Quan could solve this big problem, he would be happy to give him a generous bonus, and he might even consider granting him a long leave.

Yang Quan immediately realized that Young Master Lu wanted to use him as a tool.

That won't do. Although Li Anran is currently working under him, this woman is someone who can cause trouble for Young Master Lu. He, as the finance director, is not someone an ordinary office worker like himself can afford to offend.

I'm sorry, Mr. Lu, you'll have to deal with the trouble you caused yourself.

Therefore, Yang Quan decisively rejected the high-risk and high-difficulty task thrown at him by his boss: "Young Master Lu, you really think too highly of me. Li Anran is, after all, your fiancée. It's more appropriate for you to deal with her yourself. Besides, I believe that with your abilities, Young Master Lu, you must already have your own plan. I'm just someone who works for you, so I won't interfere in this kind of thing."

Yang Quan squinted and smiled, his face full of blatant calculation and a desire to see a good show.

Lu Shen: "..."

He knew it; the finance director he'd personally promoted was a cunning fox. Look at this guy's face now—he's not even bothering to pretend anymore. He's practically flaunting his wickedness. He can practically hear what this kid's scheming is all over the place.

Lu Shenyi felt a little tired.

What a mess of subordinates he has! None of them know how to share the boss's burdens; they're all just looking to see him suffer and gossip. If it weren't for the fact that they're all genuinely capable, he would have fired them all long ago!

After Zhan Yaxin left, Li Anran took the opportunity to call his boss.

The call was connected very quickly.

"Li Anran, how's it going on your end?"

"Zhan Yaxin has been kicked out of the Lu Group."

Li Anran gave a concise report on the situation, leaning against the glass beside him, looking down at the endless stream of cars and people, his eyes dark and brooding.

"Boss, everything's going smoothly on my end. Shouldn't you be thinking of giving me something in return?"

"Don't worry, I'm not one to reap without sowing. I know about your recent efforts and have seen the results. Your hard work won't be in vain. I'll put pressure on Lu Shen to make the decision to get married as soon as possible."

The boss's voice and tone were very calm, but Li Anran could not ignore what he said.

"Really?"

Li Anran's eyes immediately lit up, and she couldn't hide her excitement in her voice.

"Of course it's true. Haven't you been looking forward to this? Why would I lie to you about this? Otherwise, you wouldn't let it go so easily. I'm not stupid enough to deliberately cause trouble for myself."

"Okay! I'll continue to keep an eye on the Lu Group for you. Boss, I'm waiting for your good news."

Li Anran tried her best to calm herself down.

"Um."

The man gave a curt reply and hung up the phone.

Li Anran held her phone, still feeling delighted by the promise she had just received.

That's wonderful! She'll be marrying Lu Shen soon! With Lu Shen's status and the Lu family's power, the wedding will definitely be grand, and that will be the most glorious moment of Li Anran's life!

Li Anran was already excited just thinking about it and was looking forward to her wedding ceremony with Lu Shen.

While she was overjoyed with anticipation for the future, a turbulent and unpredictable situation was brewing on the other side.

"Boss, do you really want to help Li Anran and let her marry Lu Shen as she wishes?"

Ali waited until the boss put away his phone before asking the question that had been bothering her.

She heard the entire conversation between the boss and Li Anran, which is why she couldn't understand the boss's behavior.

Li Anran, that woman, although cunning, resourceful, and ruthless, is nothing more than a pawn of the boss. She's not very courageous; just standing in front of her is enough to terrify her. Her abilities aren't enough to warrant the boss's attention.

She really didn't understand why the boss would make such a promise to her.

The eldest brother didn't answer her question; he just looked out the window and smiled.

Ali was even more confused now.

What exactly is the boss planning? She really can't figure it out anymore.
