Breakup and still want to be beautiful on your own? A crazy tycoon seduces and climbs to the top.

Lai Yuqiang gently swirled the champagne in her hand, unable to resist looking An Ying up and down.

"Previously, President Fu never worried about these things, and he rarely even came to the company. His concern for you is truly surprising. It seems..."

Lai Yuqiang's eyes were dark as she slowly said, "Miss An is quite formidable."

An Ying frowned slightly, took a sip of champagne, her movements showing no sign of panic, maintaining her composure and politeness on the surface.

She instantly understood: Lai Yuqiang was lying.

It's impossible that I didn't know about Director Lai.

Secretary Chen had previously explained the process to An Ying and even showed her the onboarding procedure, which clearly included Director Lai's approval signature.

Now that she's met him in person, her tone has become somewhat sarcastic and cynical.

There is only one reason.

Lai Yuqiang originally thought An Ying was just an insignificant soldier, but she didn't expect that Fu Chengli would give her treatment that was beyond what ordinary people could receive in front of so many people... She felt unbalanced.

The first time I met my boss, she made sarcastic remarks about me to my face.

However... in the workplace, who isn't wearing a mask to survive?

A fleeting displeasure crossed An Ying's mind, but she maintained a gentle smile and said softly:

"I heard that Director Lai recently won an award for a project he planned. You are a very busy person, so it's normal that you don't remember trivial things. We will gradually get to know each other in our future work."

Lai Yuqiang seemed somewhat surprised.

This girl seems more difficult to handle than I imagined.

She thought for a moment and said, "I heard that you were the one who negotiated that famous international cooperation deal with the Lu family."

An Ying nodded.

"You were also in charge of Lu's project in Nancheng for a period of time?"

An Ying: "Yes."

That project was one of the direct triggers for An Ying and Lu Qiyao's breakup.

I still remember it vividly.

Lai Yuqiang laughed: "I was just saying, Senior Brother's judgment is definitely correct."

Senior brother...

She said those two words with a particularly charming tone, and even paused to emphasize them.

An Ying lifted her eyelids and glanced at her.

Lai Yuqiang raised her pretty chin, gently brushed a strand of hair behind her ear with one hand, and smiled, "You don't know, do you? My relationship with President Fu is much more than that. Fu Chengli is my senior in college. We were very close back then."

An Ying remained calm and simply gave a soft "oh".

Lai Yuqiang continued, "My senior brother was always the most popular guy at school. He was a tall, handsome, and dashing man with long legs. He was always the most eye-catching person in the crowd wherever he went."

"Although there are always some rumors and negative stories online that say he's bad, I've never thought that way."

"That's why I've always followed him into the Fu family business and accompanied him through all the hardships."

Lai Yuqiang glanced at An Ying almost imperceptibly: "Actually, we're quite similar. You used to work for Young Master Lu at Lu's company and helped him so much. I can understand how hard it was for you."

Changing the subject, Lai Yuqiang's lips curled into a sneer: "But our endings will definitely be different. I believe my senior brother is an excellent person, and in his eyes, I am definitely different from other women."

After all that talk, here's the final point.

An Ying smiled, a smile that was exceptionally bright and beautiful.

She replied calmly, "Then good luck."

Lai Yuqiang was stunned. She hadn't expected that her veiled and overt mockery would not provoke any emotion from An Ying.

She also offered a "good luck" blessing, delivered in a teasy, sarcastic tone.

Lai Yuqiang was furious.

Everyone knows that Fu Chengli is hard to win over. Lai Yuqiang spent four years of college and even followed him into his company, but she still couldn't get him.

She thought that once she joined his company, she would definitely see him every day, develop feelings for him over time, and eventually become the boss's wife.

As a result, his boss is not in the company for at least 300 out of 365 days a year.

In the end, they chased after nothing.

Lai Yuqiang's smile froze on her face.

An Ying didn't care. She raised her wrist and slowly brought the champagne glass in her hand closer to Lai Yuqiang's glass.

The moment the cups touched, they produced a crisp and pleasant clinking sound.

Ding--

"Director Lai, please excuse me. See you at our company."

After saying that, An Ying downed the champagne in her glass in one gulp, then got up and left, pushing open the door and walking out.

The moment she turned around, An Ying's smile vanished, and her face immediately darkened.

Lai Yuqiang finally came to her senses, but An Ying only left her with her back turned.

An Ying slowly strolled to the small outdoor garden, the cold night wind dispelling some of her drunkenness.

Recalling her conversation with Lai Yuqiang just now, An Ying wanted to roll her eyes in exasperation.

Many years ago, when An Ying accompanied Lu Qiyao to a social event, she hid behind the door of a private room in a hotel and clearly heard Fu Chengli tell his brother that he would never get married in his life.

Is An Ying the only person in the world who knows about this?

Why are there still so many women trying to climb the social ladder?

Could this Lai Yuqiang be some kind of romantic debt that Fu Chengli owes?

An Ying shook her head and sighed.

I don't understand what Fu Chengli was doing with that crazy move just now.

She hasn't gained any benefits yet, but she's already made a huge enemy.

An Ying glanced back.

Through the glass wall, she saw Ye Rao chatting happily with her law school friends about a case.

With a little while left before the alumni banquet ended, the air in the glass banquet hall was too stuffy, so An Ying wanted to find a place to sit alone.

Suddenly, from the corner of the wall, a hand reached out from the darkness and tightly covered An Ying's mouth.

His other hand gripped her waist tightly.

An Ying's mouth was gagged so she couldn't make a sound. She tried to turn around but found her body was firmly controlled, and she couldn't see who was behind her at all.

She tried desperately to pry open the grip of those two hands.

The people behind her dragged and pulled her, forcibly taking her to the other side of the club's outdoor garden.

It wasn't until she saw the moonlight shimmering in the water and smelled the pool disinfectant that the terrifying memory in An Ying's mind came back.

My heart pounded wildly.

An Ying's legs went weak, and she uncontrollably knelt down.

A cold laugh came from behind.

An Ying felt a chill in her heart. Without turning around, she already knew who this person was.
