She goes crazy, he'll cover for her; the darling of the group is someone no one dares to mess w

Zhou Yufan was drinking with Zhu Shun when his phone rang.

When I clicked on it, it turned out to be Fang Li's.

He smiled thoughtfully, assuming she was using the bathroom break to avoid everyone and talk to him about the project.

As soon as he saw the words above, the smile on his face vanished instantly.

"I saw Jingsen."

Zhou Yufan's gentle eyebrows involuntarily narrowed.

"What are you looking at, Mr. Zhou?" Zhu Shun patted his shoulder and leaned closer. "You're not reporting to your confidante, are you?"

Zhou Yufan quickly put away his phone, raised his wine glass and clinked it with his, "Where did this confidante come from? I'd love for President Zhu to introduce me to someone if we work together in the future."

"Haha, a young talent as outstanding as President Zhou wouldn't lack women, I think you're just too picky."

Zhou Yufan: "His standards do seem a bit high."

"Haha, Mr. Zhou is really honest. It's good to have high standards, after all, ordinary people are really not good enough for Mr. Zhou!"

Zhu Shun laughed as he spoke, completely unaware that Zhou Yufan's smile was becoming increasingly perfunctory.

Ever since Fang Li sent that message, his mind has been wandering elsewhere.

The restroom at that time.

Knowing that Zhou Yufan wouldn't be out for a while, Fang Li quickly finished using the restroom and ran to the door to wait for him, hoping to help him out.

After waiting for about two minutes, the tall and handsome man came out.

He took off his hat, his forehead was damp with a lot of wisps of hair, and he was walking along swinging the hat back onto his head.

"Senior Brother Jing!"

Jing Sen's mind was indeed a bit heavy. When a figure suddenly appeared in front of him, he swayed and almost fell to the ground.

The next moment, a pair of hands reached out and helped him up, preventing him from making a fool of himself in public.

"Sorry, did I scare you?"

Looking at the woman in the long dress with bright, beautiful eyes before him, Jing Sen narrowed his eyes and frowned slightly. "You are...?"

A fleeting look of embarrassment crossed Fang Li's face. "You don't... don't remember me, do you?"

Jing Sen: "......."

"Hangzhou Dianzi University, Drama Club, Thunderstorm, Sifeng."

With each word Fang Li spoke, a hint of surprise appeared in Jing Sen's obsidian-like eyes.

Finally, his eyes widened in surprise, "You are... Junior Sister?"

Fang Li nodded and chuckled, "You finally remembered me! We rehearsed a play together for over a month back then, and I remember you very well. I didn't expect you to have forgotten me."

Jing Sen smiled wryly and rubbed his forehead. "Sorry, I drank a bit too much and didn't recognize you at first."

"I accidentally glanced at it before and thought I was seeing things, but I didn't expect it to really be you."

"You're eating here too?"

"Mm," Fang Li replied, then added, "I'm talking to some friends about something. Oh, and there's someone else here too."

"Who?"

Fang Li kept everyone in suspense, smiling as she spoke. Just then, the door to the private room in the distance opened, and a man in a suit strode towards them.

"Here, here we come."

Jingsen leaned over the wall and looked over.

Fang Li seized the opportunity to say, "You guys chat, there are still guests in the private room, I'll head back first."

Jing Sen was Fang Li's senior at Hangzhou Dianzi University, three years her senior. He and Zhou Yufan were known as the two most handsome men at Hangzhou Dianzi University at the time.

One of them was the leader of the directing department, and the other was the star of the acting department. They were always on the front page of the school website during their college years.

Countless girls, both inside and outside Hangzhou Dianzi University, have fantasized about these two people.

Those who pursued the two of them, Guang Fangli, probably knew enough to circle the Hangzhou Dianzi University playground more than three times.

Unfortunately, Jing Sen was already receiving numerous film offers during his freshman year of college. He signed with Yaoxing when it was still relatively unknown, and single-handedly boosted Yaoxing's stock price with his immense popularity and acting skills.

This resulted in him becoming a star hanging in the sky, distancing himself from everyone, and no one being able to touch him anymore.

Zhou Yufan, on the other hand, seemed to have devoted himself entirely to his studies. From graduation to further studies abroad and then to joining Lionsgate, his career progressed smoothly as if he had taken a helicopter ride. During this time, however, he never stopped for any girl.

Everyone thought he was focused on his career, but only Fang Li knew that he had someone in his heart for a long time, but it was a secret that he couldn't tell anyone, and even if he did, it wouldn't be possible to achieve it.

Zhou Yufan went out and never came back.

Fang Li returned to the private room and chatted with Zhu Shun and Li Huijie for a while, finalizing the last few minor adjustments before the party ended.

None of them had drunk much alcohol. After watching Zhu Shun and Li Huijie get into the car, Fang Li touched her slightly cold arm and took out her phone.

"Wait a moment, I'll have the driver take you home first."

She texted the driver while speaking to Ji Tiantian beside her.

Ji Tiantian: "It's okay, the subway station is very close here, I'll take the subway back."

"Don't try to refuse me. By the time you get back from where you live, it will be so late after taking the subway and then the bus. You have to sign a contract tomorrow. Are you planning to be late?" Fang Li laughed.

Ji Tiantian bit her lip shyly.

Fang Li put her hand on her shoulder and said, "I'm the one who brought you here for the social event, so I should be responsible for taking you home. Otherwise, if something happens to you, a girl, going home alone so late, I'll feel guilty to death."

As he spoke, the driver brought the car over.

Fang Li opened the back door and pushed Ji Tiantian inside, then said to the driver in front, "Take her home first."

After saying that, she closed the car door.

Ji Tiantian quickly moved to the side of the car and looked at her: "President Xu, what are you going to do?"

Fang Li tossed the hair from her chest behind her back, stood up and said with a smile, "I ate a bit too much just now. I'm going for a walk, so don't worry about me. Be careful on the way."

Fang Li waved to her and signaled the driver to start the car.

Soon, the driver started the car, and the black sedan slowly drove onto the main road and left.

After watching the car drive away, Fang Li took out her phone and made a call.

-

Han's headquarters building.

The huge conference room was still full of people even though it was almost 10 o'clock.

Han Xi shortened the construction period of the Taihu Bay project to one and a half years, while the contractors initially planned for three years. As a result, many of the previously determined construction plans had to be revised.

The company leaders were all complaining inwardly, but when they glanced at the man sitting at the head of the table who had been working overtime with them, none of them dared to show a hint of dissatisfaction.

“If we want to shorten it to a year and a half, then it will definitely be too late to start cultivating the landscaping and other projects in the resort area after they are completed,” Sheng Qianrui said with a frown.

Han Xi leaned back in his chair and thought for only two seconds before gently opening his lips and saying, "Let's clear out the area for Phase 3 first. While Phase 1 is under construction, we can start cultivating and planting on the Phase 3 site. Once Phase 1 is completed, we can transplant the plants directly."

Sheng Qianrui raised an eyebrow: "That's a good idea. It avoids the impact of climate differences when planting in different places, greatly shortens the time, and saves on later transportation costs."

"Xiu Jin, what happened to you...?"

As Sheng Qianrui was speaking, Han Xi's phone rang.

The two looked over at the same time and saw the green pear jumping on the screen. Sheng Qianrui's smile vanished instantly, and she leaned back in her chair, pen in hand.

In contrast, Han Xi glanced at the table, quickly got up, and walked towards the French windows on the side.

"Hey, Ah Li."

Fang Li was walking along the sidewalk with her arms crossed when he answered so quickly. A pleased smile appeared on her lips: "Still busy?"

Han Xi didn't answer, but instead asked her, "Are you done on your end?"

"Yeah, I just finished. What about you?"

"Xiujin, want some coffee?" Fang Li had just finished asking when a woman's voice came from the phone.
