To seduce her

Inside the office, sunlight shines through the translucent curtains, casting patches of light on the desk.

Gao Yushan sat behind his desk, brows furrowed, concentrating on the data reports on the computer screen.

His fingers tapped on the keyboard from time to time, making a rhythmic "tick-tick" sound.

Suddenly, the office door was pushed open hastily, and the assistant rushed in, his face full of anxiety.

Gao Yushan raised his head, a hint of dissatisfaction flashed in his eyes. He frowned slightly, put down the work in his hands and looked at his assistant.

"What's the matter? Why are you so panicking?" Gao Yushan's voice was low and stern, with a hint of blame.

The assistant stopped panting, took a deep breath, and tried to calm himself down. He quickly adjusted his breathing and said anxiously: "Mr. Gao, I'm sorry, I know I was rash. But I just heard a piece of news..."

The assistant stopped talking halfway, as if he was thinking about whether to continue.

Gao Yushan was a little dissatisfied with his hesitation in speaking: "Speak."

The assistant then continued, "It is said that President Mu... no, Miss Mu, publicly asked who wanted to buy her shares at the regular meeting. The price she offered was very high, but... there were still many people interested."

Gao Yushan's face instantly turned pale when he heard this: "What?!"

Assistant: "This news has spread everywhere. I'm worried that it will affect our plans..."

Gao Yushan clenched his fists, obviously annoyed, and whispered: "How dare she provoke me like this?!"

When Gao Yushan learned that Shen Yaochu's shares were all in Mu Yian's hands, he found her as soon as she returned to Lukang.

And Mu Yian was obviously waiting for him.

Exchanging marriage certificate for shares, this is the condition given by Gao Yushan, and it is also what Mu Yian needs most.

But unexpectedly, she actually took the shares and sold them publicly at a high price, which was undoubtedly a challenge to him!

Gao Yushan frowned, his deep eyes tinged with anger. He stared at his assistant, as if questioning why this happened.

The assistant was intimidated by Gao Yushan's aura. He lowered his head and dared not look directly into Gao Yushan's eyes.

He explained quietly: "She might be trying to raise funds this way."

Gao Yushan raised his hand and stopped the assistant's explanation.

He walked to the window, turned his back to the assistant, and pressed his hands against the glass as if he wanted to crush it.

He looked at the busy street outside the window, but his heart was filled with restlessness.

If Mu Yian sold these shares to his second uncle, or even to Gao Yuanbin, it would be a very dangerous thing for him.

Gao Yushan took a deep breath, pulled the corners of his lips, and revealed a cold smile, his whole body showing displeasure: "Mu Yian, so you are waiting for me here."

"..." Noticing the cold aura around Gao Yushan, the assistant said cautiously, "But is it possible that Miss Mu is forcing you to hurry up and get married in this way?"

Gao Yushan's dark eyes sank slightly. He knew that the assistant was right. Mu Yian was like a carefully woven net, gradually tightening, trying to pull him back to the path he wanted to escape from.

This subtle coercion made Gao Yushan feel a little suffocated, and his heart was full of resistance.

But he knew that the shares in Mu Yian's hands were his lifeline. As long as he was willing, he could truly become the owner of Gao's Group and no longer have to live under Gao Yuchuan's shadow.

Gao Yushan's brows were furrowed, and he was struggling inside.

He closed his eyes, trying to calm his inner turmoil.

When Gao Yushan opened his eyes again, there was a hint of determination in his eyes.

He took a deep breath, as if he wanted to absorb all the resentment and helplessness into his body.

Gao Yushan said in a hoarse voice: "Perhaps, some things are really destined..."

----

Qi family.

Inside the room, the warm yellow light creates a cozy atmosphere.

Qi Xiurui was sitting at his desk, holding his phone and having a video call with Mr. Qi.

On the screen, the old man's cold and hard facial lines were now softened, and his eyes were full of concern.

Mr. Qi smiled and asked, "Xiao Rui, how are you doing recently? Are you busy with work?"

Qi Xiurui smiled slightly, his eyes revealing a little fatigue but more determination: "Grandpa, I'm much better now. I've been a little busy at work recently, but it's all under control."

Old Master Qi nodded gently, his tone full of admonition: "Work is important, but health is the capital of revolution. You have finally recovered, you must rest more and don't overwork yourself. If there is any work, let your father and your sister and brother-in-law take on more of it."

Qi Xiurui nodded, indicating that he understood: "Don't worry, I will pay attention. Grandpa, how are you? There is a big temperature difference between morning and evening where you are recently, so you must keep warm."

When Grandpa Qi heard his grandson's concern, he smiled with relief: "I'm in good health, don't worry. But you, you must take good care of yourself."

The two chatted about some family matters, from the weather to the latest news, from trivial matters at home to expectations for the future.

Every word was full of affection and warmth, as if crossing the barriers of the screen and closely connecting the hearts of the grandfather and grandson.

Qi Xiurui is always good at speaking just a few words to touch Mr. Qi's heart and make him happy.

Mr. Qi couldn't help but sigh: "In fact, sometimes I always think that it's a good thing that I went to Lukang..."

Old Master Qi paused and said nothing more, but Qi Xiurui understood in his heart.

If Mr. Qi had still been angry and refused to come to Lukang, perhaps there would no longer be a person named Qi Xiurui in this world.

For Mr. Qi, Qi Xiurui is just like himself when he was young. He understands him, cares about him, and gives him the family love he has never felt before.

Qi Xiurui said "hmm" softly, and said with a smile: "You should also take care of your health, so that you can get to know me for a while longer."

Mr. Qi also smiled: "Of course, I will try my best. I have finally felt the love of my family, how dare I die so soon."

Old Master Qi sighed and said, "Xiao Rui, no matter where you go, you must remember that you are a descendant of the Qi family. Grandpa still has many responsibilities that need to be undertaken by you."

Qi Xiurui was touched, knowing that the old man was implicitly promising to give him the family business for which he had worked hard all his life.

Qi Xiurui nodded solemnly: "Grandpa, don't worry, I will."

"As for the girl you asked me to check..." Mr. Qi changed the subject and paused: "There is indeed no news."

Qi Xiurui: “…”

"Do you want to continue investigating? I can continue to help you investigate, but..." Old Master Qi said, "I'm afraid you will be disappointed."

"..."
