The exquisite and small badge fell on the conference table and rolled forward a few times, revealing the mysterious golden pattern on one side, which sparkled under the light.
That badge was left behind by the ten generals who created the era, and it also represents the secret forces of ten regions.
Xiao Yunting is in charge of the imperial capital and has the greatest power. He can directly mobilize the forces of land, sea and air, and have the power of life and death. He is the fat piece of meat in the eyes of many people.
But now, he just threw it on the table without any care.
"Xiao Yunting, are you kidding me? Have you forgotten how much you paid for this position?" Old Cui stood up angrily and looked at him with great sorrow, as if he was a tyrant who was bewitched by a beauty who brought disaster to the country.
Xiao Yunting clearly had some respect for the old man, and his expression softened a bit, but his tone remained cold. "Mr. Cui, it's true that you helped me through this difficult time, but that doesn't mean you can interfere with my life or my love life."
At the end of his words, there was almost murderous intent in his eyes.
That look clearly showed that Ye Lan was his Achilles' heel and no one could touch her.
And using moral kidnapping is of no use to him at all.
"You!" Old Cui was furious, but he also knew that they were in the wrong for secretly summoning the girl first, so he could only sit back down helplessly.
The leader had not expected that Xiao Yunting would go to such lengths for the girl, and he was suddenly put in an awkward situation.
It is true that they had helped Xiao Yunting when they chose him to be the secret leader of the imperial capital, but if you really counted it all, what Xiao Biotechnology Company had given back to the authorities over the years far exceeded this small favor.
Xiao Yunting wanted to leave, and he had no reason to stop him.
Once a word is spoken, it cannot be taken back. Everyone knew the temper of the head of the Xiao family, so they could only swallow their anger and feel extremely regretful.
If I had known earlier, I shouldn’t have touched Ye Lan.
This time, not only did he hit a wall, but he also lost both the wife and the army.
Ye Lan did not express any opinion on this. After making a plan with Xiao Yunting, he led him and the elders away.
"Chief Ye, I'll see you off."
The leader stood up promptly to see him off, accompanied by a group of high-ranking officials in the conference room.
As she walked through the corridor, the security personnel and secretaries who had just done the check all looked sideways, with surprise on their faces as they saw the young girl who had walked into a dangerous place alone when she entered the door. Now she was the protagonist, not only surrounded by people, but also seen off by the leader and a group of senior executives.
When they arrived at the door of the building, both sides said goodbye.
The leader looked at Xiao Yunting several times, but seeing that he was unmoved, he finally sighed and turned to Ye Lan, extending his hand. "Chief Ye, I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation this time."
Having learned from his previous mistakes, he never dared to overestimate himself again.
Ye Lan smiled slightly when he heard this, raised his hand and shook it back, "I will."
Afterwards, the group left in a car.
Shi Feng was left behind by his superior, standing on the steps with them, watching them leave. He waited until everyone on both sides had left before he raised his hands and begged for mercy. "Boss, I really didn't know Miss Ye's identity. If you knew she was the Xuanzong clan leader, how could I have dared to ask her to be a special hire for a small department?"
This directly handed the special team over.
The boss, who had originally wanted to call for an explanation, thought about it carefully and felt that it made sense. He sighed and said, "In the end, it's all my fault. It's our own fault for narrowing the path."
He has always been high and mighty, thinking that he can use his power to control people at will, but he forgets that there is always someone higher than you, and that there are mysterious powers in this world that are above power, such as ancient warriors and mind users.
Let me explain this in two ways.
At this time, Nan Xu and others started cursing in the luxury car that left the suburbs and got on the national highway.
"Those damn senior executives are trying to quietly plot you in. Look at what they're capable of."
"If it weren't for the serious business, I would have torn down a few dilapidated buildings the moment I entered."
"Haha, from now on, the Ancient Martial Arts World will not accept any commissions from there."
…
Although Ye Lan did not explain any cause and effect, how could these people who had lived for hundreds of years not understand the details of this lawsuit?
How could they bear it when the head of the family was mistakenly treated as a soft persimmon?
At that moment, a group of people decided to go back and tell the ancient martial arts world that they could cooperate, but they also had to get their place back.
Nan Xu completely changed her attitude towards Xiao Yunting and said in a domineering tone, "Don't worry, kid. Now that you've entered the Xuan Sect, we'll protect you. Don't be afraid of them."
The other elders followed suit and expressed their opinions.
"Follow us and you will have a bright future. As the man of the Xuanzong clan leader, you will be treated well."
"Just because of your domineering act of protecting our clan leader today, we reluctantly agree to this marriage."
“…”
Xiao Yunting, who was working on documents across from him, was speechless when he heard this. He looked up at the girl who was leaning her head against the window, looking out the window, and said in a deep voice, "Have they always been like this?"
Ye Lan was amused when he heard this, with a faint smile on the corner of his lips. Looking at the people opposite him who were already discussing the title of the clan leader, he explained softly, "When I was a child, they were afraid that I would become autistic, so they turned me into this."
Although he failed to make her lively, Ye Lan gradually got used to and liked this kind of liveliness.
A big hand came over from the side, the palm was warm and dry.
Ye Lan looked back and met the man's deep and bottomless eyes, and clearly saw the relief in his eyes.
Even though he had suffered abuse and betrayal from his parents, he was still happy that she had these relatives to take care of her.
