A subtle, almost imperceptible glint seemed to flicker in Chu Lan's expression before he smiled slightly.

"Yes, I'll take care of it right away."

Xu Tian nodded.

After leaving Chu Lan's office, Xu Tian stood up from his executive chair and looked out over the entire Jiangcheng city through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows.

Here is a new starting point.

Five minutes later, Chu Lan knocked on the door and entered the office after receiving a response from Xu Tian.

“Young Master Xu, as you said, the Jiangcheng Xu Group has severed all business ties with Hengtong Group.”

"And they were blacklisted."

Xu Tian gave a thumbs up.

"Well done."

"only……"

Chu Lan seemed hesitant, and her gaze towards Xu Tian shifted slightly.

"Just tell me if you have anything to say."

Xu Tian said calmly.

Chu Lan asked, "Isn't Hengtong Group Madam's company?"

Xu Tian, ​​who was about to pick up his teacup to drink water, paused slightly, looked up at Xuan with some disbelief, and then nodded.

Yes.

She was someone her father left in Jiangcheng to secretly help her and Zhang Qian's family company, so it was only natural that she knew some things.

only……

Xu Tian smiled and said, "I knew you'd still blacklist me."

Chu Lan smiled faintly, walked to Xu Tian's side, stood respectfully to the side with the documents in hand, and lowered her head slightly.

"Young Master Xu said that cutting off all business dealings with them is no different from being blacklisted."

"Besides, Young Master Xu loves Madam so much... If he's doing this, there must be a reason. Why not take it to an extreme?"

As she spoke, she glanced at Xu Tian with her alluring eyes, her smile as beautiful as a flower.

Xu Tian was slightly surprised, but then burst into laughter.

"Hahaha~ Yes, we did it, let's go all the way and do it to the extreme!"

I like your way of doing things.

They relaxed and became like two old friends.

Xu Tian rested his head behind his head and casually crossed his legs and put them on the desk.

"Chu Lan, you seem to know me very well."

"As I just said, this isn't the first time I've met Young Master Xu."

"But why do I have no recollection of ever seeing you before?"

"That's because at that time, all Young Master Xu could see were other people."

"……Really."

Xu Tian calmly picked up his teacup and took a sip.

"for example?"

Chu Lan placed the documents on the table, put his hands behind his back, leaned slightly against the floor-to-ceiling window, and looked up at the river view outside.

"There have been too many times, I can't even remember some of them... but every time I saw Young Master Xu, he was always with a woman."

As Chu Lan spoke, a hint of melancholy flickered in her eyes.

Xu Tian did not answer, letting Chu Lan continue.

"The most memorable time was at a bidding conference, when someone used the project as an excuse to harass her. Young Master Xu beat that person up pretty badly."

As Chu Lan spoke, Xu Tian gradually recalled those past events.

It was the dead of winter.

As Zhang Qian's company was thriving, she, as a beautiful CEO who was just beginning to enter the circle of the wealthy, was constantly approached by people with ulterior motives because of her outstanding looks and good figure.

This is naturally what Xu Tian dislikes the most.

Because of this, and because Zhang Qian felt it was shameful to bring Xu Tian, ​​an unknown nobody, along to any party or gathering, Zhang Qian never brought Xu Tian with her.

That time too.

At a bidding conference, several CEOs used the project as an excuse to drink glass after glass of red wine.

Zhang Qian already had a high alcohol tolerance, and coupled with drinking quickly and continuously, she soon became intoxicated.

This scene happened to be witnessed by a friend of Xu Tian.

Knowing that Xu Tian had lost contact with his family because of Zhang Qian, and that it was inconvenient for him to expose Xu Tian's and his own identities, he secretly called Xu Tian to report the situation.

Xu Tian, ​​who had been staying up late the night before to queue for movie tickets for Zhang Qian and had a high fever, was resting at home. Upon hearing this, he immediately threw off the covers, glanced at the towel on his forehead, and rode his motorcycle straight into the bidding conference hall.

In front of a group of celebrities in Jiangcheng, he rushed up and punched the boss three times, knocking out his front teeth.

The boss, of course, wouldn't back down either, and called over a group of bodyguards who beat Xu Tian, ​​who was running a fever, until his head was bleeding profusely.

Even with a high fever and severe injuries, Xu Tian stood in front of Zhang Qian, not daring to budge an inch.

That resolute figure was deeply imprinted in Chu Lan's eyes.

Afterwards, Xu Tian, ​​dragging his broken body, carried Zhang Qian away from the scene.

Of course, after Xu Tian leaves, that boss might also suffer the consequences.

Before Chu Lan could even make a move, Xu Tian's friend had already had the boss thoroughly punished and threatened him never to try anything with Zhang Qian and Hengtong Group again.

This group of people are typical cowards who prey on the weak. The boss called Zhang Qian's company the next day to apologize and announced that he would not bother them again.

Unexpectedly, after Zhang Qian sobered up, instead of being grateful for Xu Tian's selfless rescue, she blamed him for ruining her cooperation. She placed all the blame on Xu Tian for the boss's loss of contact with Hengtong Group on him, saying that Xu Tian had made her lose face in the industry and demanding that Xu Tian personally apologize to the boss and kneel at his doorstep for a day and a night...

Chu Lan rested his hands on the railing, looked at the scenery outside the window, and smiled sadly.

"I really envy her."

"At that moment, I was thinking... how wonderful it would be if a man in this world treated me like that..."
