By the time Duan Ze and his wife finished preparing Duan Ye, it was almost 10 a.m.
Duan Ze quickly tidied up and said, "Niannian, I'm going to work now. Go wherever you want, let him sleep a little longer."
Shen Niannian nodded: "Okay, go ahead."
Duan Ze left the house, and it became quiet.
A maid approached: "Madam, will you be picking up the young master from school this afternoon, or...?"
Shen Niannian waved her hand: "My husband and I are both a bit busy today, you go pick him up."
The maid hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "Okay."
Only after the engine noise downstairs disappeared did Shen Niannian stand on the balcony and look down. Not only had Duan Ze's car disappeared, but the familiar Bentley had also vanished.
Shen Niannian was extremely anxious. Finally, she went upstairs, entered her bedroom, and called Luo Qingyuan.
Luo Qingyuan had parked her car five kilometers away from Duan Ze's house. The sun was shining brightly and there was a lot of traffic. Luo Qingyuan sat in the car, but felt cold all over.
Her eyes were somewhat vacant until a rather urgent telephone ring brought her back to reality.
The call was answered.
Shen Niannian's worried voice rang out: "Qingyuan, are you alright? Where are you now? I'm coming to find you."
Luo Qingyuan's voice was calm, without any extra emotion: "I'm fine, Niannian, let's not make plans today, I have things to do at the company."
Hearing this excuse, Shen Niannian became even more anxious: "I know you saw him and the people around him, but don't misunderstand, I will find out. Wait for my news."
Luo Qingyuan closed her eyes wearily.
They've been divorced for so many years, and it seems she has no right to ask whether Duan Ye has someone else by his side or not.
After Shen Niannian finished speaking, she hung up the phone, while Luo Qingyuan casually tossed her phone aside, opened the car window, and let the breeze scatter her long black hair.
She sat quietly in the car, a cigarette dangling from her fingers. Amidst the swirling smoke, her stunningly beautiful face inevitably attracted the attention of passersby.
A young man walked towards her, holding his phone.
Noticing someone approaching, Luo Qingyuan didn't even glance at them, calmly immersing herself in her own thoughts.
A young man's voice sounded outside her car window, tinged with shyness and nervousness: "Y-you...hello, sister, can...we get to know each other?"
The young man handed the phone towards Luo Qingyuan.
When he saw Luo Qingyuan from afar, he was stunned and stood there. How could there be such a beautiful person in this world? Her face was cold and clean, but her lips were unusually red, giving people a strong sense of contrast.
Upon closer inspection, the young man was immediately captivated by Luo Qingyuan's profile; he was unwilling to miss out on such a beauty.
This might be what they call love at first sight.
The young man was so nervous that his palms were sweaty.
Luo Qingyuan hesitated to respond, making the young man even more nervous. He wanted to try again, but then he heard a crisp, decisive voice: "Get lost."
Luo Qingyuan glanced at him sideways, her expression full of impatience and aggression.
The young man was stunned. Luo Qingyuan put out her cigarette, closed the car window, and sped away.
The young man snapped out of his daze and frantically took out his phone to snap a picture of Luo Qingyuan's license plate.
Xie Beixiu stood there, unable to recover for a long time.
Despite his initial look filled with disgust and displeasure, Xie Beixiu could still clearly see that face. It was a rare, striking beauty, even more beautiful than many female celebrities in the entertainment industry.
The young man's brothers ran over.
"So, did you manage to get it?"
Xie Beixiu: "No... I was scolded..."
"Haha, it's alright, it's normal for such a beautiful woman to have a temper. Let's move on to the next one..."
Xie Beixiu: "No, I knew it was her at first sight, she's too beautiful..."
"I'm telling you, the young master of the Xie family, what kind of woman can't you have? Go look for someone else..."
Xie Beixiu shook his head firmly. Although he had just turned twenty and was still in school, this kind of older sister was exactly his type. He found those aggressive eyes from earlier incredibly cute and found them extremely satisfying.
Xie Beixiu: "Brothers, you guys go have fun, I'm not going today."
Ignoring his brothers' calls, Xie Beixiu hailed a taxi and left.
He couldn't wait to have the car checked.
He kept replaying Luo Qingyuan's elegant posture while smoking in the car, even the way she exhaled smoke rings was so pleasing to the eye... and her cursing expression was so irresistible...
Meanwhile, Luo Qingyuan had returned to Henglun and convened a new board meeting.
Luo Shuyang announced that he would completely relinquish power to Luo Qingyuan, and Cheng Suisui also rejoined Henglun as the new chairman's secretary. She also holds the most shares in Henglun besides Luo Qingyuan, and has become the most authoritative person on the Henglun board of directors.
Henglun was already thriving under Luo Qingyuan's leadership. Now, Luo Qingyuan has established commercial and trade relations between Ellis and China, and extended this line to all of the Luo family's businesses at home and abroad, further boosting Henglun's financial resources.
Therefore, no one objected when Luo Qingyuan returned to take over as chairman.
On the afternoon of the same day that Luo Qingyuan took over, Luo Shuyang flew abroad on the fastest flight.
He had been helping Luo Qingyuan in China for too long these past few years. Although he would occasionally oversee the business there, he was still worried about her.
The meeting ended around 6 p.m.
Because Luo Qingyuan forbade the news to be released, the senior management of Henglun kept their mouths shut, and very few people knew that the former Miss Luo was now in power at Henglun again.
However, Henglun's business has more development channels, and the number of people who can speak foreign languages has gradually increased.
Therefore, Henglun began recruiting a large number of new employees, requiring undergraduate or postgraduate degrees, with priority given to those who can speak three or more foreign languages, and those who can speak Spanish.
That very evening, Henglun's recruitment advertisement was posted.
As a result, graduating students from various universities began frantically sending their resumes to Henglun Group.
7 PM.
Duan Ye woke up.
Shen Niannian had been anxious all day, unable to eat or sleep properly, just waiting for Duan Ye to wake up.
So, as soon as Duan Ye came out, Shen Niannian, who was in the living room, quickly stood up and handed him the water she had prepared beforehand.
"You're awake. Quick, have some water to calm down."
Duan Ye politely accepted it, saying, "Thank you, sister-in-law."
Shen Niannian: "You're welcome, you're welcome. Come and sit down. Aunt Liu, quickly bring out the cooked wontons."
Aunt Liu: "Yes, madam."
Duan Ye: "I'm not hungry, no need to bother."
Shen Niannian: "Even if you're not hungry, you should eat something. You've been hungover all night, and your stomach must be empty. You must feel terrible."
Since Shen Niannian was so enthusiastic, Duan Ye had no choice but to nod in agreement.
The wontons were served on the table.
Duan Ye was eating wontons when Shen Niannian sat down opposite him.
