When Luo Zhan heard that, a laugh escaped him. He turned and walked toward the bar’s carpark. He looked up and saw the hazy moon hanging above his head. It seemed that the weather was still pretty good.

Two days had passed, and Li Jinnan hadn’t appeared at the office again.
Ye Youyou came and left the office as usual. She hadn’t heard any mention of GM Li from her colleagues.
It wasn’t just Li Jinnan. Shen Luo’an hadn’t appeared again either. The past two days had been unusually quiet. It was as if the prior commotion had been nothing more than a little accident.
When Ye Youyou was done working, Xiao Xu, a colleague with whom she was on good terms. came up to her and asked, “Youyou, would you like to go shopping together?”
Xiao Xu was a very pretty girl and well-liked at the company. Ye Youyou had a very good impression of the girl as well. Hence, when she heard the question, she considered how long it’d been since she last went shopping. She nodded her head in agreement. “Sure!”
Xiao Xu’s eyes turned to two little crescents as she smiled and replied, “Let’s go for dinner first. Hm… It’s been a long time since I bought some new clothes. Come on, let’s eat our fill before going shopping for clothes!”
With that, she stepped forward and enthusiastically linked her arm around Ye Youyou’s, saying, “As a star, you’ll definitely attract a lot more looks than I would!”
While working at the company, Ye Youyou harbored a studious and conscientious attitude. At the same time, her co-workers knew that she was an artist and treated her with a tinge of just a little more awe and affection.
Xiao Xu’s comment was as casual and usual as could be. In the ears of some others, it came across as abject ingratiation.
“Ew, Xiao Xu. If you’re going to suck up to this extent, you should have a better person to suck up to,” said a woman who looked quite a bit older. The expression in her eyes was extremely unkind. “If someone didn’t know any better, they’d think you’ve fallen on desperate times!”
Ye Youyou knew the woman. She was in the same department as Xiao Xu. The two of them were fighting for the same position and were pretty evenly matched in terms of skill and results.
All along, Xiao Xu had gotten along quite well with everyone. The only exception was this whom, with whom she shared a rivalry. She obviously disliked this woman. With a harrumph, she said, “Whom I choose to be friends with is none of your d*mn business! What a busybody!”
Ye Youyou couldn’t be bothered with the woman. Just as she was about to turn and walk away, the woman said, “We’re all colleagues here. I just don’t want to see you end up too embarrassed when all is said and done. Back then, everyone thought that she had a special relationship with the GM. After all, every popular actress out there wanted that particular role, but none of them could get it. Yet, it ended up going to this lukewarm and average artist. Unexpectedly, she didn’t turn out to be anything much either!”
The woman was carrying a stack of documents. With a snort, deliberately bumped into Xiao Xu’s shoulder while walking past.
Xiao Xu felt her anger boil over. She retorted, “Seriously, why is your heart so black? Youyou made it in on her own merits! Her acting skills are leaps and bounds better than your sucking-up skills! It was just a pity that she was unlucky!”
Who would have expected her to meet with such an accident while filming?
Xiao Xu felt a little sorry for Ye Youyou. “Youyou didn’t give up! She even came back to the company to learn more and better herself! She’s much better than you!”
Disdain was written all over the other woman’s face. “Dumb ass,” she said. With that, she stuck her chest out and walked off.
As they were halfway down the steps, an inconspicuous Land Rover came to a stop in front of them. The window was wound down, revealing a resolute face covered in scars.
Li Jinnan turned to face Ye Youyou and said, “Get in the car.”
