Ye Qiu and the group were still unaware of the happenings in Bai Group.

Following their original plan, they drove back to Jiangnan City, accompanied not only by Wang Haoran's family but also by Sha Beibei.

It is said that women are a strange species, and this saying is spot on. In the car, Bai Lan and Sha Beibei quickly went from being strangers to being friends who can chat about anything, seemingly becoming good friends in just a day.

In essence, they have many similarities. Bai Lan is the CEO of Bai Group, and Sha Beibei was previously a senior manager at a renowned company, very knowledgeable in marketing and such. Hence, their conversation felt like a meeting of kindred spirits.

"Beibei, you've just resigned, and our Bai Group needs someone like you to help us. Why don't you come work for Bai Group directly?"

Bai Lan looked at Sha Beibei and extended her invitation.

Faced with Bai Lan's invitation, Sha Beibei was momentarily stunned. She certainly didn't expect Bai Lan to actively invite herself to Bai Group. She knew very well that Bai Lan couldn't be unaware of her relationship with Ye Qiu, yet Bai Lan seemed unbothered by that.

This made Sha Beibei instinctively glance at Ye Qiu, as though she wanted to inquire something through her gaze.

But, in this situation, Ye Qiu dared not speak a word, keeping quiet with his eyes on his nose.

However, Sha Beibei didn't expect Ye Qiu to offer her any advice. She just took a glance at him and withdrew her gaze, looking back at Bai Lan, and said, "Since Sister Bai invited me, I have no choice but to agree!"

"Great! I think with your addition, Bai Group will surely do better," Bai Lan said with happiness.

The harmonious scene between the two women made Wang Longbo, sitting in the back seat, unable to resist giving Ye Qiu a thumbs up.

If it was any other man, two women meeting would surely lead to a clash, if not outright conflict. But, the women Ye Qiu encountered got along so peacefully, even starting to call each other sisters.

"Brother Ye is indeed extraordinary!"

...

Meanwhile, within Bai Group, a massive crisis had erupted.

Everyone in Bai Group had already learned that Paul intended to terminate the contract and cease collaboration on prior projects.

With this information out, panic spread throughout Bai Group. Everyone knew very well that without this contract, Bai Group would fall into a catastrophic situation, teetering on the brink of bankruptcy!

"Damn it! This Paul really doesn't know what's good for him!"

Upon hearing this news from the secretary, Lan Ying was instantly furious, anxiety written all over her face.

This contract cannot be broken under any circumstances; otherwise, she would be unable to answer to Bai Lan, let alone the employees of Bai Group.

Immediately, Lan Ying rushed to Paul's office.

"Paul, what the hell are you trying to pull!"

As soon as Lan Ying entered the office, she spoke angrily without holding back, as she couldn't tolerate Paul any longer.

"What do you think?"

Paul sat at his desk, looking at Lan Ying with a smirking expression.

At this moment, Lan Ying realized that something was off because several bodyguards were standing behind Paul.

Having so many bodyguards in his own office is quite unusual. Instantly, it seemed like Lan Ying understood something, and she turned to leave without saying a word.

However, Paul had already anticipated that Lan Ying would try to leave. He gestured to his bodyguard, who took a step forward and blocked the door of the office.

"Since you're already here, why leave in such a hurry?"

Paul smiled as he got up from his seat and walked towards Lan Ying, saying, "Lan, let me tell you, my patience is quite limited, and you've successfully worn it thin!"

"What, what do you want to do?" Lan Ying stepped back to create some distance, cautiously watching Paul.

"Heh! What do I want to do?"

As he spoke, Paul did not hide his lecherous expression, his eyes filled with aggressive intent continually swept over Lan Ying's body.

The brazen gaze made Lan Ying feel disgusted, yet to her surprise, Paul was not satisfied with mere observation and aggressively approached her, saying with a smile, "Bai Group will soon go bankrupt, and you will also suffer at that time. I'm giving you one last chance: serve me well and I might consider making your future financially secure!"

"Get lost!"

What Lan Ying despised most was people threatening her with such matters.

"You have no choice in this matter!" Paul sneered, reaching out his hand towards Lan Ying.

"Slap!"

Before Paul's hand could touch Lan Ying, she fiercely retaliated, slapping him straight across the face.

"You, you bitch! How dare you hit me?"

The slap left Paul dumbfounded, but his face soon turned into one of raging anger, as he glared at Lan Ying like a furious lion.

Being stared at with such a deadly gaze, dread filled Lan Ying's heart, thinking of escaping this place, but Paul offered her no such chance, grabbing her in one swift move.

"Rip…"

In an instant, Paul tore off the sleeve of Lan Ying's arm.

"Let go of me!" Lan Ying screamed in panic.

"Hahaha! Let go of you? You're dreaming!"

The more nervous and fearful Lan Ying was, the more excited Paul became. He had been eyeing Lan Ying not just for a day or two now and was done being patient. He was determined to get her by force!

"Bang!"

Just then, the office door was kicked open.

"Beast, let go of Manager Lan!"

It turned out that employees and security outside the office heard the commotion and rushed in.

"Get them all out!"

Seeing the security and employees storming in, Paul's expression turned cold as he instructed the bodyguards beside him.

"Yes!"

Upon receiving Paul's command, the bodyguards sprang into action.

The security guards of Bai Group were not afraid, quickly stepping forward to fight Paul's bodyguards.

However, they underestimated the strength of Paul's bodyguards, as in no time, those security guards and employees were knocked down and tossed out of the office like trash.

"Haha, a bunch of nobodies. With such meager strength, do they dare try to ruin my plans?"

Paul showed a disdainful smile, and he looked at Lan Ying again, saying, "Now, I'd like to see who else can save you!"
