The next day at noon, sunlight streamed through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows into the president's office of Lantian Group, illuminating the entire room brightly and warmly.
Having just finished an important meeting, Shen Lanxin walked into the office looking slightly tired. She then slowly walked to her luxurious office chair and gently sat down.
Just as she settled down, a clear bell rang out.
"Ring ring..."
It was the sound of her phone on the table. She didn't even bother to open her eyes, but just instinctively found the phone and pressed the answer button without hesitation.
A woman's anxious yet slightly angry voice immediately came from the other end of the phone: "Xin Xin! What have you done? You fired all the people related to the Shen family. How are we supposed to explain this to the Shen family?!"
It was clear that Shen Jing was extremely agitated at the moment, and she even forgot to use her usual formal address, instead calling out the nickname she used for Shen Lanxin when they were children.
Faced with such a question, Shen Lanxin simply raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile, and calmly replied, "It's very simple, I'll just leave the Shen family."
"What? Lan Xin, what nonsense are you talking about?" Shen Jing on the other end of the phone was clearly shocked by the news, so much so that her voice unconsciously rose eight octaves.
However, Shen Lanxin seemed unwilling to explain further. She sighed softly and said, "Jingjing, I'm really tired. Let's talk about this face to face after you return to Jincheng."
Before she could finish speaking, she decisively hung up the phone.
As the call ended, Shen Lanxin turned her gaze to the screen of her phone, only to see that in addition to the call she had just received, there were more than a hundred missed calls.
It's obvious that the vast majority of these missed calls were from Shen Lihong and Zhang Chunfang.
However, for Shen Lanxin at this moment, there was no need for her to pay attention to these people's questions and accusations.
"call..."
With a long exhale, Shen Lanxin leaned back slowly, as if relieved, completely resting against the wide chair back.
That slightly slender body seemed to be completely released at this moment, laid out without reservation.
It's worth noting that Shen Lanxin usually gives off an extremely serious and unsmiling impression, so this casual and relaxed demeanor is quite different from her usual image.
However, at this moment, she couldn't care less about her image, because excessive fatigue had brought her to her limit, and she could fall into a sweet dream as soon as she closed her eyes.
In this difficult time when she was physically and mentally exhausted, the only thing Shen Lanxin could rely on was to carefully depict Mu Liuyun's figure in her mind.
She couldn't help but recall Mu Liuyun's charming and adorable appearance when she wore a maid outfit; she remembered Mu Liuyun lying on her side on the bed, her posture as serene and peaceful as Sleeping Beauty; and the worried look on Mu Liuyun's face when she stood in front of her.
Huh?
For some reason, the last image that came to mind was so clear and vivid, as if it were real.
Mu Liuyun's concerned gaze, slightly furrowed brows, and slightly parted lips were all vividly clear in her mind, as if Mu Liuyun were truly standing right in front of her.
"Is this what people mean by 'what you think about during the day, you dream about at night'?"
Shen Lanxin murmured to herself, her eyes still somewhat unfocused, seemingly still immersed in her fantasy.
"Lanxin, are you alright? I've seen a lot of negative news about you online."
"No, it was just a daydream of mine."
Too much has happened lately, and she feels physically and mentally exhausted. The pressure is so heavy that it feels like she can't breathe.
Shen Lanxin chuckled self-deprecatingly. Was she really so tired that she was hallucinating? Otherwise, why would she feel that the real Mu Liuyun was standing right in front of her?
"Lan Xin?"
Seeing that Shen Lanxin was just smiling and talking to herself, Mu Liuyun, who was standing in front of her, seemed to be worried that Shen Lanxin had a mental problem. She even stood on tiptoe and reached out to touch Shen Lanxin's forehead.
"Huh? He doesn't have a fever..."
The touch of that hand made Shen Lanxin involuntarily let out a soft moan. The sudden sensation was like an electric current running through her body, instantly pulling her back to reality from her chaotic thoughts.
"Xiaoyun, is it really you?"
Shen Lanxin finally came to her senses, her gaze fixed on Mu Liuyun, her eyes sparkling with surprise and emotion.
At this moment, her originally lifeless face gradually regained some color because of Mu Liuyun's arrival, and she looked more radiant.
Seeing Shen Lanxin's appearance, Mu Liuyun felt a pang of pain in her heart. She instinctively softened her voice and gently replied, "Yes, it's me, Lanxin. I was worried about you, so I came to check on you. Oh dear!"
He had only spoken halfway when Mu Liuyun felt his feet leave the ground; he had been picked up by Shen Lanxin again.
Hmm, why use "again"?
Then Shen Lanxin carried him to the door, closed it, and then went to the bookshelf, where she pressed some kind of mechanism.
The entire wall of bookshelves suddenly opened to both sides, revealing a secret room.
"My company's reward room can finally be put to use."
