Just as Nguyen Thanh An was about to leave the Nguyen Group, Nguyen Thanh Linh happened to walk out as well, with a big smile on her face, looking at Nguyen Thanh An with pity and sorrow in her eyes.

She couldn't help but shake her head: "Why bother competing with me? How could you possibly compare to me, Qing'an? Why don't you think about it?"

"You gave those greedy guys quite a lot, didn't you?"

It's not a question, it's a statement of certainty.

Ruan Qing'an suppressed his emotions, his face showing anger and dissatisfaction as if he had been fooled: "Dad said that the decision on the candidate would be based on the comparison between Changhuan and Qiming's benefits and influence between you and me."

"Yes, but so what?"

Ruan Qingling retorted, her smile widening: "You still don't understand. Rules are meant to restrict you, not me."

"Ruan Qingling, you are so shameless!"

Seeing Ruan Qing'an's face flushed with anger, Ruan Qingling became even more smug. Where was the arrogant and disgusting look she had when she tricked her before?

With the Ruan Group in her hands, she could easily trample this good-for-nothing under her feet. Ruan Qingling even found Ruan Qing'an more pleasing to the eye.

She took a half step forward, straightened Ruan Qing'an's collar, and chuckled, "After leaving the Ruan family, you'll have to rely on yourself. If you can't even afford to eat, I can still hold a place for you so you can make a living. Keep Qiming, he's not of much use anyway."

"Remember this, my dear sister: so what if your Qiming is better managed than mine? The most important thing is to have the right methods."

Ruan Qingling maintained her composure, feeling quite pleased with herself.

Just as she was about to withdraw her hand, Ruan Qing'an suddenly grabbed Ruan Qingling's wrist and held it tightly.

Those leaden-gray eyes narrowed slightly, their meaning unclear.

Ruan Qing'an suddenly smiled and said, "Thank you so much for your guidance, sister. I will put it into practice."

"you……"

Ruan Qingling was startled, but Ruan Qing'an had already released her grip. Suppressing her panic, she sneered, "Heh, you probably don't have a chance. Just watch as I lead the Ruan family to its peak!"

After saying that, Ruan Qingling stopped talking and turned to leave.

As soon as she turned around, Ruan Qingling's forced composure twisted instantly—what did she have to worry about? Ruan Qing'an couldn't cause any more trouble!

The Ruan Group belongs to Ruan Qingling;

Ruan Qing'an was kicked out of the Ruan family by her;

Even Qiming, she could quickly bankrupt it.

Soon, Nguyen Thanh An was left homeless!

Given these conditions, Ruan Qingling was already in an invincible position. After thinking about this, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Only after Ruan Qingling's figure disappeared from sight did Ruan Qing'an turn around, walk out of the group's gate, and remain expressionless with his back turned.

In the sunlight, she suddenly raised her hand.

In Ruan Qing'an's hand was a strand of black hair, and she suddenly smiled: "Methods... Well then, let's have some fun, my 'good sister'."

037: [Tsk tsk tsk, they're all heartless.]

"Huh? Little System, what are you talking about?"

037 shut her mouth from the bottom of her heart—the naive and innocent system refused to communicate with this ancestor whose heart was as full of eyes as a sieve.

Ruan Qing'an, however, did not pay any attention and put away the strand of hair.

"The show is about to begin."

...

A week later, in a foreign land.

This is a small town full of medieval style, a well-known tourist attraction, but at this moment there is no one in sight. Instead, it has been completely fenced off and used as a filming location for a movie crew.

— Li Hong has a very powerful background, for example, like this.

To reach his current position as a Chinese person, it would be difficult to manage without connections, especially considering Li Hong's goal is to combine Western background with Eastern thought.

And at that moment, filming of a scene had just ended.

Shi An took off his towel, wiped the sweat from his face, and discussed the scene with the foreign man next to him in fluent English.

"Peace of mind."

"Um?"

Shi An looked up and found Li Hong walking over with a gloomy expression. He was slightly taken aback: "Was there a problem with my filming just now?"

"No, I've seen your professional skills."

Li Hong paused, sighed, and suddenly bowed to Shi An, which made Shi An frown and immediately help him up.

Li Hongdao said, "I'm sorry, Shi An, some things have changed in China. To ensure your filming wouldn't be affected, I suppressed a lot of news and didn't check it myself. I didn't expect to find out today..."

"Could it be that something happened to Ruan Qingan?"

Shi An lowered his eyes; this was the only possibility he could think of.

Li Hong remained silent for a moment, then nodded heavily: "Yes, it has been a while since the incident. She... she was kicked out of the Ruan family, and all her assets were taken back, including the house she lived in."

"I heard that Miss Ruan only has Qiming left now. It was left to her as a favor, but many people have heard about the Ruan family's situation, and the Ruan family is also showing signs of suppressing her. So Qiming Entertainment is not doing well and is being made difficult by people everywhere."

Li Hong took a deep breath: "In short, it's my fault, Shi An. I'm sorry, I didn't expect such a serious change to happen on Miss Ruan's side this time."

As Li Hongzheng was speaking, he suddenly felt a chill run through him. Shi An's face was devoid of emotion; he only glanced at those dark eyes—

The ruthlessness and coldness within surged and churned, like a thick, chilling darkness, as terrifying as an abyss.

Li Hong's voice abruptly stopped.

But Shi An didn't care. He just half-closed his eyes to hide his emotions: "Director Li, I have to go back."

How could he bear to let someone he cherishes be bullied?
