A few days later, Jiang Mianmian came up with a perfect Plan B.
After the project team and engineering team evaluated the design, they all exclaimed in admiration, and then complained to General Manager Lu why he hadn't brought out the design earlier.
Afterwards, Jiang Mianmian presented the design drawings and a detailed plan to the board of directors, which silenced the critics.
The board of directors had always believed this plan was better—"That's right, who is our CEO Lu? He definitely has the ability to handle this!"
"Yes, this design is more in line with the standards of high-end residences, so we can raise the price."
"If you calculate it all out, the profit margin is twice as much as the previous plan!"
Jiang Mianmian's smile showed a hint of fatigue. She waved her hand, signaling her secretary to quickly prepare for the press conference. This time, she wanted to be the first to release this plan, to prevent it from being plagiarized.
However, after returning home, the moment she saw Huo Junyu, the guilt in her heart climbed wildly up her chest like a vine.
She stepped forward and hugged Huo Junyu, burying her face in his chest. After a long while, she murmured, "Husband, I'm sorry..."
Huo Junyu smiled and patted her head, asking knowingly, "What did you do to wrong me?"
Your 'golden house'... is gone.
Jiang Mianmian's voice was so soft it was almost inaudible.
Huo Junyu laughed even more heartily. In fact, in his opinion, it was indeed a pity to lose the world's only "Golden House" design, but compared to the crisis of the Lu family, he would certainly prefer Jiang Mianmian to treat the "Golden House" as Plan B.
“I originally planned to ‘hide you in a golden house’,” Jiang Mianmian pouted, “but now… I have to hide you in hundreds of households, and the golden house has become a high-end residential area!”
"That's not bad either!"
Huo Junyu smiled and comforted her, "Fortunately, the crisis has been resolved, which is more important than anything else."
Jiang Mianmian looked up at him, "I'll design another one for you later!"
"No need..." Huo Junyu smiled mischievously, and pulled her into the bedroom with his large arm. "Now you can properly... 'hide' me away!"
Jiang Mianmian blushed, accusing him of being a pervert, but her hands honestly went to unbutton his shirt...
And then it will be another night that soars into the sky...

The next day, both of them had a rare day off and didn't want to get up early, so they stayed in bed together.
However, the phone kept vibrating.
Jiang Mianmian reached out and touched the bedside table, thinking to herself that she was destined to be a busybody, when she suddenly noticed that Lin Yuqing's number was on the screen!
"Mom?" Jiang Mianmian suddenly woke up. "Why are you calling me so early? What happened?"
“Little Yuzu, come back here for a moment… take Junyu with you!” Lin Yuqing’s voice was urgent. “It’s not me and your father, it’s not Jiang Youcai and Su Aiqian… it’s, it’s Pei Nian! She left you a letter and then disappeared!”
Jiang Mianmian felt a buzzing in her ears, as if an invisible hand had gripped her heart tightly.
She rushed back to the Lu family home as quickly as possible.
Upon entering, one sees Lu Lishan and Lin Yuqing sitting on the sofa, with a letter and a pistol with the word "Rainbow" written on it in front of them.
The envelope had only a few simple words on it: To Sister Mianmian.
“It was A-Yi who first noticed that Niannian was missing,” Lu Lishan said. “Niannian has a habit of going up the mountain to run with A-Yi every morning, but she didn’t go today.”
“So Ayi came to the house to look for her,” Lin Yuqing said in a low voice, “and found that she had packed up all her things in her room, leaving only this letter and this pistol.”
Jiang Mianmian's hands trembled slightly, and she couldn't even tear open the envelope.
Huo Junyu helped her open the letter. The contents were simple, typical of Pei Nian's style:
"Sister Mianmian, I need to leave here. Don't worry."
"Also, you absolutely must not trust Cheng Suyue!"
"That's... all?" Huo Junyu was stunned. What was he trying to say without any context?
Jiang Mianmian read those two lines over and over again. "Niannian said she was just leaving, she didn't say she wouldn't come back... so she'll still come back, right?"
"It's hard to say." Huo Junyu shook his head. "She's the kind of person who comes and goes without a trace. Who knows what she's going to do next? Besides, she's already made it very clear that she's 'leaving'."
"No... I, I have to bring her back!" Jiang Mianmian cried out anxiously, "It's not safe for her to be out there alone!"
"I've already sent people to look for her, but there's been no news." Lu Lishan sighed. "Mianmian, where do you think she could have gone?"
Jiang Mianmian was stunned.
She then realized that she knew nothing about Pei Nianzhen, not where she came from, and even less where she was going.
Jiang Mianmian was extremely anxious for those two days. Pei Nian's phone was turned off, and it was an old-fashioned phone that didn't have any GPS tracking.
Lu Lishan sent people to find the place where Pei Nian had worked, but they found nothing.
Since Pei Nian came to the Lu family, Lu Lishan had prepared an ID card for her. However, the information obtained from customs and immigration authorities was that there was no record of her entering or leaving the country.
Even the long-distance bus station has been checked, but there is no record of her buying a ticket.
Jiang Mianmian was so anxious that tears streamed down her face.
Coincidentally, on this very day, Huo Jingnan brought Huo Junyang to the young couple's home. As soon as they entered, he said with a smile, "Junyu, Xiaoyouzi! I heard that guy caused trouble at the Lu family's house again the other day? Today I've brought him here to apologize to you two!"
As he spoke, he pushed Huo Junyang into the doorway.
Huo Junyang had long since forgotten about that day. He and Huo Jingnan playfully pushed and shoved each other for a while, but then he suddenly noticed that the two of them looked strange...
"Hey bro, Little Yuzu!" He leaned closer. "Why are you two looking so grumpy? Aren't you happy to see me?"
