After hearing Chen Hao's explanation, Gu Xingzhou laughed until tears streamed down his face. "Brother Hao, I never thought you could be fooled by a woman."

Chen Hao said helplessly, "Stop nagging, everyone in the company is going to hear your laughter."

In the end, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Song Yuanxun, standing to the side, looked at the two of them with a bewildered expression and asked in confusion, "What are you talking about?"

"Let me tell you, Hao-ge's love life..."

"It's nothing!" Chen Hao interrupted Gu Xingzhou, picked up his phone, and pulled Song Yuanxun outside. "Aren't we going to eat? Let's go."

Seeing that the two had left, Gu Xingzhou quickly followed, saying, "Wait for me."

Chen Hao slowed his pace, turned around and glared at Gu Xingzhou, whispering, "Xingzhou, don't talk nonsense."

"Okay." Gu Xingzhou replied with a hint of regret, then whispered a reminder, "Send a message to Su Jiayue and tell her not to come."

That way we won't come back empty-handed.

"Okay." Chen Hao had just taken out his phone when he heard a familiar voice, "Chen Hao, where are you going?"

Chen Hao looked up and saw Su Jiayue standing at the elevator door with a lunchbox in her hand.

His eyes flashed, and then he said apologetically, "Jiayue, I'm sorry."

I forgot to tell you, I had lunch with Xingzhou and the others at noon.

Go back now.

Upon hearing this, a hint of disappointment flashed across Su Jiayue's face, but she obediently replied, "Okay, I'll go back first."

I'll come again tomorrow.

After saying that, she turned and went back into the elevator. Then she asked the three people outside, "Do you want to come down with me?"

Chen Hao is truly heartless; I wonder how long she can hold out.

If the project is completed but there is still no progress, she will return to her original position and silently like him.

Upon hearing this, Song Yuanxun was about to step forward when Gu Xingzhou quickly grabbed his hand and waved to Su Jiayue, "Su Jiayue, you go down first."

I need to use the restroom. We'll wait for the next one.

Su Jiayue paused, looked at Chen Hao, and seeing that he didn't move, she silently lowered her hand, and the elevator doors closed.

The elevator doors closed, and Song Yuanxun looked at Gu Xingzhou in confusion, "If you need to go to the restroom, just go. Why are you dragging us along?"

"Oh, if you don't understand, just follow along with us," Gu Xingzhou replied perfunctorily.

He then looked at Chen Hao and whispered a reminder, "Brother Hao, since you have no intention of getting involved, keep your distance from Su Jiayue."

Don't give them the wrong impression.

"Yes, I know," Chen Hao replied in a low voice. "This project will be completed soon, and I'll explain everything to her."

He felt a little wronged; he had clearly refused, but he was still misunderstood.

However, he didn't intend to explain, after all, he had to save face for the girl.

Seeing that he had taken it to heart, Gu Xingzhou felt relieved. He laughed and shouted, "Brother Hao, let's go. We're going to eat Brother Song's bread today!"

We'll eat him out of house and home!

"Okay," Chen Hao replied with a smile.

Upon seeing this, Song Yuanxun exaggeratedly clasped his hands in a gesture of begging for mercy, saying, "Gentlemen, please have mercy on me. I'm still in the process of starting my business, please leave me some room."

"I won't leave you any money. Today I'm going to squeeze every last penny out of you!" Gu Xingzhou laughed loudly.

The two walked into the elevator playfully, with Chen Hao following behind with a smile.

After her contract signing was thwarted, Chen Wan angrily rushed to the Huang Group.

Before I could even go up, I was stopped at the company's front desk.

Chen Wan cursed, "You dare stop me?! I'm a distinguished guest of your General Manager Huang!"

The receptionist rolled her eyes discreetly and replied coldly, "I'm sorry, ma'am. Mr. Huang is not seeing guests."

"Why are you refusing to see guests? Let me in."

After saying that, Chen Wan rushed inside.

One receptionist rushed forward to stop her, while another receptionist called security.

Two security guards worked together to drag Chen Wan out of the company.

After leaving Chen Wan at the company entrance, a security guard raised his hand, flexed his muscles, and threatened, "Don't come near our company, or don't blame us for being impolite."

Chen Wan took a step back in fear and cursed, "Barbarian!"

He then slunk away.

She didn't go back, but went to Chen Qian's company instead.

Upon seeing Chen Qian, she launched into a tirade, "Qian, that Chen Hao is awful!"

He actually made his friend refuse to sign me!

She blamed all the grievances she suffered at Song Yuanxun's hands on Chen Hao.

Busy with work, Chen Qian casually replied, "Oh."

Not getting a response, Chen Wan looked at Chen Qian curiously and asked with a puzzled expression, "Xiao Qian, what are you busy with?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she walked to Chen Qian's desk and saw something familiar on it.

She covered her mouth and whispered, "Xiao Qian, you're not still doing that kind of thing, are you?"

If someone finds out, I'll go to jail.

I thought I had lost it, but I didn't expect to still have it.

She didn't understand the law, and she knew she couldn't do this.

She only did it out of necessity last time, and she completely absolved herself of any responsibility.

To avoid being exposed and discovered.

In fact, she always had a premonition that she would be discovered sooner or later, but she was just hoping to get away with it.

Chen Qian raised his head, frowned, and warned, "If you don't tell, no one will know."

If I am discovered, you will not escape either.

You'd better not talk about it outside.

How could he not know that it was illegal?

But he had no choice. His company couldn't go bankrupt, and he was unwilling to accept the fact that he was inferior to Chen Hao.

He was just unlucky; if he had found a top-quality jadeite, he could have developed the company even better.

With money, nothing is impossible.

Chen Wan's face stiffened slightly, and she replied irritably, "Of course I won't go out and tell anyone, you'd better watch out!"

Don't drag me into this!

He agreed verbally, but inwardly he was extremely anxious, thinking about how to extricate himself from this matter.

She didn't want to suffer along with Chen Qian; she wouldn't get any benefits and would be implicated. She wasn't happy about that.

"Don't worry, if you don't tell, no one will know," Chen Qian said smugly.

"If you have nothing else to do, please leave and don't disturb my work."

Chen Wan's eyes widened, she pointed to her nose, and asked incredulously, "You're kicking me out?"

The Chen Qian of the past would never have treated her like this.

Chen Qian reached out and pinched his brow, coaxing her, "Second sister, you go back first."

I'll come see you after I finish my work at the company.

If it weren't for the fact that she had leverage over him, he wouldn't want to deal with her for even a day.

She had no money and still had to ask him for money every month.

What's the point of keeping a sister like that around?

Seeing his exhausted appearance, Chen Wan's heart softened. She whispered, "Xiao Qian, don't overwork yourself, remember to rest."

Chen Qian nodded casually and replied, "Okay, be careful on the road."

Hearing Xiaoqian's caring words, Chen Wan happily walked outside.

Humming a song, she thought to herself, "This younger brother wasn't spoiled in vain."

Chen Qian looked away and continued with his work.

Little did Chen Hao know that a conspiracy was quietly approaching.
