The Sun family is a long-established and powerful family, and its strength should not be underestimated.
Although Huo Beichen failed to marry Yun Suiwan, he still got what he wanted.
"Sheng Nanyin and Zeze are missing." Huo Beichen's eyes darkened.
Gu Fanyan was also the only person he could confide in.
Gu Fanyan was slightly taken aback: "What's going on?"
“She originally wanted to leave with Zeze, but they were intercepted at the dock. I’ve had people searching for her for several days, but we still haven’t found her,” he replied.
Gu Fanyan pondered for a moment, "You suspect... that they are in the hands of Lin Zhibai and Lu Dongjue?"
Huo Beichen glanced at her; there really weren't many women as smart as her.
It's actually quite easy to guess.
He won't really come for a few documents.
Aside from the Lu and Lin families, he had no other place to turn to for help.
“I will help you,” Gu Fanyan replied without hesitation.
This answer was exactly what Huo Beichen expected.
"I heard today that Yun Wanqing is pregnant," Huo Beichen continued, "with Lin Zhibai."
Gu Fanyan sat down quietly, and after a while, she looked up and asked, "Can you let this child stay?"
A hint of pleading flashed in her eyes, a stark contrast to her haughty demeanor.
Huo Beichen shrugged indifferently: "Of course."
Gu Fanyan was slightly taken aback. Was his answer... a little too fast...?
Yun Wanqing's successful marriage into the Lin family is a real disadvantage for him.
"Is there something I don't know?" she asked, somewhat puzzled.
Huo Beichen smiled, "Even if she marries into the Lin family because of this child, so what? What can Lin Zhibai do for her? Help her take over the entire Huo Corporation?"
"If the Huo family business really falls into her hands, can she manage it?"
Gu Fanyan was skeptical of his dismissive attitude.
She picked up the cooperation documents on the table that required her signature, and felt that there was something fishy going on inside.
"Take your time to look through it, then sign it and have your assistant send it to my company." Huo Beichen got up and left.
“Gu Fanyan,” he said, glancing back at her as he reached the door, “the child in Yun Wanqing’s belly is not something you should be thinking about. You should figure out how to get out of this situation yourself.”
Gu Fanyan lowered her eyes.
It wasn't until long after he left that she raised her head, her already pale face becoming even more bloodless.
She stared blankly for a while before snapping out of it, picking up the phone and calling her assistant, "Notify Lin Zhibai's assistant to meet and finalize next year's cooperation plan."
The assistants for both parties arranged the meeting to take place in the conference room of Lin Zhibai's company.
Gu Fanyan arrived at the conference room with two assistants and the department head. As soon as she reached the door, she could hear lively chatter inside.
"President Lin has two happy events, he should give us a long vacation."
"That's right. Getting married and having children at the same time, no one is as efficient as President Lin."
"Even if there isn't a long holiday, a few Red Guards will still come, right?"
The company Lin Zhibai manages is not large, and the management team consists of his classmates or friends. They speak very casually in their spare time.
Upon hearing this, Lin Zhibai chuckled, "You guys have the nerve to ask me for red envelopes? When I hold my wedding banquet and the baby's one-month celebration together, I should be the one receiving the red envelopes."
"Mr. Lin, are you really going to get married and have children?" someone asked in surprise.
"What, after all this talk, you all think I'm joking?" Lin Zhibai retorted. "Do I look like such an unserious person?"
"No...no, Mr. Lin, you're so young, handsome, and rich, how many more people's youth could you possibly capture? Why would you be so foolish as to get married so young?"
"Even if I'm handsome, I can't not get married. Besides, these things aren't planned out. If I meet the right person, I'll just get married, right?"
"Wow!" the crowd exclaimed, "It seems that Miss Yun has really won over President Lin's heart..."
"The Gu family's people have arrived," the assistant announced.
Gu Fanyan led her people in.
Everyone immediately stopped laughing, returned to their positions, and got back to work.
Lin Zhibai also looked at Gu Fanyan, "Good afternoon, President Gu."
He reached out his hand to her.
With so many people watching, she wouldn't leave his hand hanging in the air forever.
You need to have a broad perspective.
However, as soon as he grasped her hand, he immediately increased the pressure.
A hint of amusement flashed in his eyes; he was deliberately teasing her.
Gu Fanyan looked down and saw the wound on his hand caused by the strings of the zither.
I was hit pretty hard this time.
Gu Fanyan smiled slightly at him.
Lin Zhibai was slightly taken aback; her smile was too deceptive, full of allure.
However, a sharp pain suddenly shot through the back of his hand.
She charmed him with her smile, then took the opportunity to press his wound with her thumb.
It took a lot of effort.
A hint of sarcasm crept into her smile.
She is taking revenge.
Lin Zhibai had no choice but to let go of her hand.
She could really dig her long fingernails into his flesh.
"Mr. Lin, can we sit down and talk now?" she asked.
"Let's talk." Lin Zhibai sat down impatiently.
The business collaboration was something that the two families' parents had already discussed long ago. Even though both of them brought their own teams, it was really just a formality.
Gu Fanyan's assistants were all about to pack up and leave when she suddenly said, "There are still some things I don't understand about business. I'd like to ask President Lin for advice privately. I hope President Lin won't refuse?"
Lin Zhibai looked up at her, and she practically had her ulterior motives written all over her face.
No one else dared to speak.
These are all young masters of their own group; they have no right to speak.
"Sure, I have time." Lin Zhibai shrugged and spread his hands.
Gu Fanyan followed Lin Zhibai into his office.
A "click" sounded.
Lin Zhibai heard it clearly; it was the sound of the office door being locked.
He turned around, crossed his arms, and looked at Gu Fanyan with a light laugh: "Sister, you don't have any other ideas, do you?"
Gu Fanyan stopped behind the door: "When are you going to marry Yun Wanqing?"
Lin Zhibai remained noncommittal: "It depends on my mood."
He sat casually on the sofa, looking completely nonchalant, turning the company office sofa into a clubhouse sofa.
"Is her child alright?" Gu Fanyan continued, "Does your family know about this?"
Lin Zhibai frowned: "Why is sister asking this? Did Murong Mo dump you and you've taken a liking to me?"
“Answer my question.” Gu Fanyan said seriously.
Lin Zhibai looked disdainful. Just because she was called "sister," did she think she was some kind of elder?
If we really bring her over, who will be on top and who will be on the bottom is still unknown!
"The marriage is real, and the child is real."
Although his face showed disdain, his mouth still answered honestly.
Gu Fanyan walked quickly to him, grabbed his collar, and pulled him inside.
"What are you doing...?"
Inside was a lounge with a large bed and a bathroom.
"Sister, isn't this a bit inappropriate in broad daylight... Don't pull my tie, aren't we playing the roles backwards?"
"Shut up!" Gu Fanyan hissed angrily in a low voice, tightening her grip on his tie.
