Ring ring ring—
The telephone rang urgently and at an inopportune moment.
Luan Yenan swallowed lightly.
Zuo Baixuan hurriedly pushed him away.
The guitar in Zuo Baixuan's arms fell to the ground with a thud.
Fortunately, there was a soft carpet on the ground, so the guitar was not damaged.
But the ringing of the phone and the sound of the guitar hitting the ground ruthlessly interrupted the perfectly timed ambiguous atmosphere.
Luan Yenan had no choice but to retreat.
She lightly brushed her red lips with her index finger, leaving only a faint trace, as most of her lipstick remained on Zuo Baixuan's lips.
This time, the mark left behind can be considered a beginning and an end.
Although somewhat reluctant, Luan Yenan suppressed his turbulent emotions and calmed his wild thoughts.
next time.
We'll release it again next time.
She turned to answer the phone.
When Zuo Baixuan noticed Luan Yenan turn around, she secretly covered her face with her hands, trying to reduce the shame and excitement she had just felt.
The restless pheromones clearly indicate that her intentions are not pure.
God knows what just happened. This woman really seems to know some kind of witchcraft!
Zuo Baixuan gently wiped her lips, leaving a lipstick mark, and then pursed her lips.
I shouldn't have backed down.
next time.
Next time, we should go and greet them.
This crazy woman has no resistance to herself either; she hasn't lost!
As Luan Yenan answered the phone, she became even more certain of the fact that she had no resistance.
She had already discovered it.
She always loses control of herself in front of Zuo Baixuan.
In her past life, she would never allow such a thing to happen; losing self-control meant weakness.
But if it's because of Xiaobaihua, she seems to be able to accept it.
She could trust that Zuo Baixuan would not be a "weak point".
"The dinner date is confirmed? Okay, I understand. Xuanxuan is with me, I'll tell her." Luan Yenan turned to look at Zuo Baixuan while holding his phone.
Zuo Baixuan also turned around, her emotions stirred by the new message, and she and Luan Yenan looked at each other again.
The dinner party has begun.
A note from the author:
Luan Yenan: Release him next time.
Zuo Baixuan: Next time, go and greet them.
Not in vain: I'll definitely do it next time.

Chapter 45
Luan Yenan received a call from Luan Muyin.
She was conveying that Luan Li was preparing to hold a grand banquet in three days to welcome Luan Yechai back, and at the same time, she revealed that Luan Li had been meeting with old friends recently.
"Even when dealing with his own children, your grandfather would resort to strange methods." Luan Muyin recalled the days when Luan Lizheng dragged her to his friends and belittled her when she was a child, and she didn't know how to continue the story.
From her perspective, Luan Yennan was raised by Luan Lizheng. Even if Luan Lizheng had no affection for his children, didn't Luan Yennan have none either?
Now that this brat knows that her grandfather, who raised her, is now dragging his old friend into a smear campaign so that his cousin can profit from his return, she'll definitely be upset.
Luan Muyin's words stopped here.
But Luan Yenan knew that it was not just that.
The recent online controversy was caused by Luan Lizheng. In the past few days, several people have appeared at the Luo Sheng International Circuit, trying to steal Luo Yun's "blockchain" tokens at high prices.
If it happens in one or two isolated incidents, it could be due to opportunistic speculators waiting for a chance to strike. If it happens on a large scale, or even without any attempt to conceal it, you can easily guess what's going on with their brazen attitude.
She just didn't expect Luan Lizheng to be so impatient.
Luan Yecha will be back tomorrow, but he won't give him any time to rest. Instead, he'll arrange a banquet for him tomorrow, determined to use the suppression of him to build momentum for Luan Yecha.
While telling Luan Muyin that he would be careful, Luan Yenan sat down at the computer and sent messages to others.
After hanging up the phone.
Zuo Baixuan remained quietly seated on the sofa, looking at Luan Yenan and waiting for her reaction.
Luan Yenan smiled slightly and asked in return, "You heard everything?"
"Hmm," Zuo Baixuan lowered her eyes, "What are your plans for tomorrow's banquet?"
“Our dance practice is going quite well, so there’s no need to worry about that,” Luan Yenan replied.
Zuo Baixuan knew Luan Yenan was smiling without even looking up.
Knowing full well that this wasn't the question she was asking, he deliberately gave that answer—this was one of Luan Yenan's most common quirky habits.
Zuo Baixuan thought for a moment, somewhat dissatisfied: "You said you were going to let me come to the company and be the boss's wife, but you didn't tell me any of your plans. How can I be involved?"
When she looked up, she saw Luan Yenan looking at her.
Luan Yenan waited for a long time.
She was waiting for Zuo Baixuan to join in willingly and voluntarily.
“Since you’re interested, I’ll take you to see the factory.” Luan Yennan said, getting up and opening the door.
The employees outside the office looked up almost simultaneously.
Seeing Luan Yenan walk out the door first, they both immediately lowered their heads.
They were very curious about the way the boss and his wife got along.
In particular, what will Luan Yenan, who is usually serious and has a commanding presence, become like when he is with his wife?
But seeing Luan Yenan's face made them prioritize their lives above all else.
Luan Yenan glanced around, knowing full well what these employees were thinking. She said to Zuo Baixuan, "It seems that we should wait until after my second round of recruitment before we start talking about hiring you. Otherwise, it would be too pitiful for them to be busy while also trying to sneak in some PDA."
"But there wasn't a trace of sympathy in your eyes," Zuo Baixuan commented on Luan Yenan.
Luan Yenan just smiled.
She also felt that she had no compassion in the past.
When she was a child, she heard about other people's tragic experiences, and while others were sad, she remained expressionless.
As I grew up, I would donate money whenever I saw natural disasters or man-made calamities, but I always felt that these were just inevitable parts of life and there was no need to be sad about them.
She also thought that perhaps her sadness and other emotions had been worn away by her childhood experiences.
But now, things are different.
"I'll give you a quarterly bonus at the end of this month, but only if you do a good job this month." Luan Yennan's voice wasn't loud as he looked at Zuo Baixuan.
The employees looked up. Who was he talking to?
"Thank you for your hard work. Keep working on the accounts." Luan Yenan then looked in the direction of the finance department.
The finance person paused for a second, then nodded repeatedly, leaving a mark in the notebook.
All the employees then excitedly shouted, "Thank you, boss!!"
Luan Yenan then looked at Zuo Baixuan.
The employees then realized what was happening and excitedly shouted, "Thank you, boss lady!!"
Infected by the employees' excitement, Zuo Baixuan felt a little embarrassed.
"I can't accept something for nothing," she hurriedly waved her hand and hid behind Luan Yenan, pushing her away.
"Now I understand why you can still hire people with such a huge workload," Zuo Baixuan muttered to herself.
Elite employees are hard to find, especially in the early stages of a startup; it's a two-way selection process. Those who stayed have the ability, and Luan Yenan's ability to retain them is also a testament to his skill.
Luan Yenan didn't answer. Retaining employees with salaries is the most basic but also the most effective method. But to retain top talent, money alone is not enough.
Once Zuo Baixuan entered Luan Yenan's so-called factory, she understood the core reason why Luan Yenan was able to retain these elites.
The factory that Luan Yenan mentioned was more like a machine room.
From the outside, it looks no different from an ordinary factory, cold and lifeless, but once you enter through the first door, you'll discover that it hides a lot of high technology.
A specially hired security department keeps a close watch on the area, and identity verification is required at every gate.
After passing through the three gates, the low temperature inside the factory and the rows of large computers standing in the factory appeared at the same time.
It brought a coolness that the body could feel and a shock that only the brain could experience.
The rows of large computers, their work lights flashing, resembled an orderly and obedient army of robots.
Zuo Baixuan thought of the PPT that Luan Yenan had presented at the "front end".
