Unfortunately, Li Daoyuan had already guessed what Gu Yanran was thinking, and she was almost certain about it. She didn't believe him at all. Gu Yanran's pretentious tricks could not fool him at all.

Li Daoyuan was seen leaning lazily on the sofa, looking at Gu Yanran with a playful smile. She wanted to see what other schemes this girl would come up with.

Seeing that Li Daoyuan didn't fall for it at all and instead looked at her as if he was watching a play, Gu Yanran felt bored and stopped pretending. She pouted and said:

"Oh, Master, where is my good friend Xiao Qingcheng? Didn't she come to the villa to serve you? How come I haven't seen her?"

Gu Yanran looked around but couldn't find Xiao Qingcheng. Could it be that Li Daoyuan had changed his mind and no longer needed Xiao Qingcheng's service?

If this is true, it would be a good thing for Gu Yanran.

Li Daoyuan wanted to find another maid. As a maid, Gu Yanran naturally did not dare to raise any objection. She was even willing to help Li Daoyuan find one.

But as far as Gu Yanran was concerned, she didn't want Li Daoyuan to find a maid. She only hoped that Li Daoyuan would have only one maid by his side, and would always have only her as a maid. She didn't want anyone else to share Li Daoyuan's love for her.

However, Li Dao also insisted on looking for the maid Xiao Qingcheng, and Gu Yanran also agreed.

Moreover, it was he and Li Daoyuan who conspired together to frame Xiao Qingcheng and Xiao Chuyun last time, which led to the events at the banquet.

Knowing that Li Daoyuan was going to find her best friend to be a maid, Gu Yanran still felt a little uneasy.

So, he didn't even go to work today, and came to Li Daoyuan's villa early to see what Li Daoyuan's attitude was towards Xiao Qingcheng and himself. He wanted to see whether Li Daoyuan would neglect him after he took in a new maid.

Now her whole body and heart are focused on Li Daoyuan. As for the Gu Group, it is no longer important to Gu Yanran.

Hearing what Gu Yanran said, Li Daoyuan smiled faintly. This little maid had been talking for a long time and finally her true colors were revealed.

It turned out that she had taken in her best friend Xiao Qingcheng as a maid. Gu Yanran, the little maid, was jealous but didn't dare to say it out loud, so she kept testing herself in both overt and covert ways.

Seeing this, Li Daoyuan did not hide anything and said directly: "I know that you must be here for no good reason. You are just worried that your best friend is favored by me and that you will not have a place here in the future. You are worried, so you come to check it out, right?"

"Let me tell you now, I have no feelings for your best friend Xiao Qingcheng. The reason why I keep her by my side is to use her to attack Xiao Chuyun. So you don't have to worry about her taking your place, or that I will fall in love with someone else and ignore you."

At this time, Gu Yanran had already been conquered by him, so Li Daoyuan could tell him some things.

Li Daoyuan was extremely confident in Gu Yanran, and some plans still required Gu Yanran's cooperation in order to proceed.

Sure enough, after hearing Li Daoyuan's words, Gu Yanran's heart finally settled down.

It turned out that all this was just her guess. Li Daoyuan didn't care about her best friend at all. She still had a special status in Li Daoyuan's eyes.

Seeing this, she could finally relax and said with a sigh of relief: "I am just worried about you and came to find out some information. It's not as excessive as you said, Master."

"By the way, master, where did Xiao Qingcheng go? I have been here for so long, but I haven't seen him." Gu Yanran continued to ask with a hint of doubt.

"I asked someone to accompany Xiao Qingcheng to the mental hospital to visit his brother Xiao Chuyun. After all, his brother's current situation was caused by me. I was the one who sent him to the mental hospital. No matter what, I should let his sister go and see what kind of life his brother is leading now."

Li Daoyuan smiled faintly. He did not feel any guilt for sending Xiao Chuyun to a mental hospital. Instead, he felt a sense of pleasure.

As a big villain, he and the protagonist like Xiao Chuyun are originally irreconcilable and it is impossible for them to coexist.

Either Xiao Chuyun died or he died, so framing Xiao Chuyun was just a normal means. Xiao Chuyun was not as skilled as others and deserved to be framed by himself.

"Okay, let's not talk about Xiao Qingcheng and Xiao Chuyun. By the way, how is the Gu Group doing now? You haven't managed the Gu Group for several months. Can the Gu Group survive now?" Li Daoyuan changed the subject and asked.

"Master, don't worry. Everything in the Gu Group is now on the right track. With the help of the people you found, I feel much more relaxed. That's why I dared to show up at your house today."

"What's more, now everyone in Jinling City knows the relationship between the master and me, and also knows that the backer of the Gu Group is the master, the entire Kaiyang Group and the Li family. Now no one dares to openly offend our Gu Group. Only then can the Gu Group develop steadily and rapidly."

When it comes to business, Gu Yanran is also very knowledgeable. After all, as the president of Gu Group, she still has certain strength.

The reason why Li Daoyuan mentioned the Gu Group today was actually to prepare for the Kaiyang Group.

As he obtained the system and encountered more and more protagonists, Li Daoyuan put most of his energy into dealing with the protagonists.

As for Kaiyang Group, he only regarded it as a sharp sword to deal with the protagonist. Although he did not want to manage this sword, he absolutely could not just ignore it. Naturally, he needed someone to help him manage it.

And the best candidate is his own woman.

Li Daoyuan already has three candidates in his mind: Gu Yanran, Zhao Feiyan and Su Xiaowan.

Gu Yanran already had experience in managing the Gu Group and was considered a veteran in management.

However, as he worked as a nanny in her home for several months, Gu Yanran's mind had undergone a drastic change.

He is now concentrating on being his own little maid and taking care of his life. In his mind, the management and the position of the entire Gu Group are not as important as taking care of himself.

Zhao Feiyan also runs his own small company. Although he is not as good as Gu Yanran in management, he has experience from his previous life.

In his previous life, he was also a successful female boss. In comparison, he has more experience.

However, Zhao Feiyan was his new recruit after all. He had captured Zhao Feiyan by using Zhao Feilong's life to threaten Zhao Feiyan and force him to compromise.

Although Zhao Feiyan was still respectful to him now, he had not really conquered her after all.

If he rashly handed over the entire Kaiyang Group to Zhao Feiyan at this time, Li Daoyuan could not guarantee what would happen next.

Compared with Gu Yanran and Zhao Feiyan, Su Xiaowan's ability is far inferior to them.

Su Xiaowan can be considered as an auxiliary talent and a beautiful girl from a small family.

He was able to do a very good job as his own secretary and anticipated everything in advance.

Li Daoyuan was very happy to work with such a secretary.

However, Su Xiaowan's overall view is far less important than Gu Yanran and Zhao Feiyan, and she is not as good as them in management.

Li Daoyuan did not intend to directly hand over Kaiyang Group to Su Xiaowan for management. At most, he wanted him to be an assistant to help others manage Kaiyang Group.

He believed that this position would be more suitable for Su Xiaowan.

It seems that it is still difficult to hand over the management rights of Kaiyang Group now, and I still have to work hard for a while.
