“I don’t know if this has crossed a line or not, but I know that there’s too little money to go around, so she doesn’t want to share any of it with others,” Wei Zhou stared at him and said coldly.

Lan Jian’s expression froze, and he could only say stubbornly, “What’s so great about that. Do I look like I need money?”

“If you don’t need money, then why did you come to my place? Don’t tell me you’re just here to rant. If you are, then I suggest you find a park. There are many disgruntled uncles and aunties hanging around there. You can go rant with them,” Wei Zhou said mercilessly.

Lan Jian didn’t know what to say.

Lan Jian did not know why, but when he looked at Wei Zhou now, he actually felt like Wei Zhou seemed to remind him of Su Yan. It was as if Su Yan had possessed Wei Zhou. It was either that the two of them did not speak, or they would say something hurtful and nasty.

“Oh right, where did you go last night? Why didn’t you say anything when you left? Jiang Yuan and I waited for you for such a long time, and your phone was always busy when I called. Did you happen to encounter someone beautiful and then go to a hotel to get a room?” They stopped discussing the previous topic, and Lan Jian continued to probe about last night.

The word “encounter”deeply hurt Wei Zhou. He did have an encounter last night, but it was with his ex-wife. When Wei Zhou thought of what Su Yan said last night, he felt inexplicably annoyed and his mood immediately soured.

Loosening his collar, Wei Zhou leaned back in his chair and glanced at Lan Jian. “Well done, no wonder you’re in the entertainment industry. You must have read too many scripts, so there’s something wrong with your brain.”

Lan Jian was at a loss for words again.

He really wanted to go home right now and see if he had forgotten to look at the almanac when he went out today. In just a short hour, Lan Jian had actually been scolded twice. If he had known earlier, he would not have come.

In the blink of an eye, the frost set in. Winter had arrived, and the last month of the year had finally begun. At this time every year, one knew that the Spring Festival would be arriving soon. Simultaneously, the end of the year was also the busiest time.

In the study room of the Floral Villa, Su Yan was focused on looking at the various documents on the computer. These were all things that she needed to review. Wang Xiaoxue was extremely busy too, as she personally drove boxes of all kinds of reports and documents to the villa. Su Yan’s head started to hurt when she saw the huge stacks of documents and information.

The various companies Su Yan owned were holding year-end summary meetings one after another, so she had to find time to attend those meetings. Additionally, Su Yan had to review the previous year’s work, and make plans for next year’s. Su Yan was so busy that she could not even look away, let alone take bathes or do yoga. Even using the toilet was something that had to be timed precisely. Honestly speaking, the amount of work Su Yan had over the past few days was more than the whole of last month’s combined.

“Alright, if there are no questions, then let’s call it a day. I still have another meeting to attend in a while. Let’s work hard, everyone!” Su Yan said a few words to the computer and then left the meeting room.

Fortunately, technology was advanced these days. Meetings could be held through video or conference calls. For some unimportant meetings, as well as for companies that were not well-run, Su Yan could just attend the meetings like that. Otherwise, if Su Yan were to go to every company physically, she would just waste time travelling.

For example, the meeting just now was with a small company that Su Yan had just acquired last year. It specialized in the production and development of toys. It didn’t make much profits, so Su Yan could just say a few words and leave the rest to Wang Xiaoxue.

Su Yan’s phone rang just as she flipped a new report open. She swiped the screen without even looking up. “What’s the matter?”

She heard Chai Xingyu’s voice from the other end of the phone. “There’s something I want you to help me with.”

“It can’t be about Yitong, right? Is she causing trouble outside again?” Su Yan’s could not help but think of Tang Yitong. Lang Sheng Technology had just been publicly released, and this was its first year of stock-taking. Chai Xingyu should be very busy too. The only matter he could call Su Yan about would be Tang Yitong.

Chai Xingyu said, “Yitong has been fine. She’s doing well lately. I want to propose to her on 26 December.”

“Propose? That’s a good thing! Tell me, what can I do to help?” When Su Yan heard Chai Xingyu say he want to propose, she put the report down and a pleased expression beamed across her face.
