These high-resolution photos in the group chat were clearly leaked from a banquet venue.
Whether it's the photo of Si Ruxin and Luan Yenan together, the appearance of Zuo Baixuan, or the scene of the three beauties appearing at the same time, there are all sorts of opinions in the group.
Most people were envious that Luan Yenan, after cultivating his A-rank player for so long, had finally revealed his true colors. He managed to snag a high-quality Omega with a single flirtation.
Some even felt that Zuo Baixuan's appearance wasn't meant to create a chaotic scene, but rather to indirectly prove that Luan Yenan was keeping his wife at home while having affairs outside.
These people have already mythologized Luan Yenan in a completely different way.
Essentially, they are trying to establish the image of a top-tier Alpha to fulfill their own expectations.
Luan Yenan looked at it for a while, then put down his phone.
Luo Yun observed Luan Yenan's reaction with great interest: "What do you think?"
Luan Yenan transformed from a universally ridiculed Alpha into an irresistibly charming top-tier Alpha role model in just a few months.
Luo Yun happened to be a witness.
Just like when Luan Yenan appeared in front of her when he was at his lowest point, she found it amusing.
Now that Luan Yenan is almost at the pinnacle of his life, she finds it interesting.
This is the essence of how people find fun.
Luan Yenan's words ruined her fun: "Send me that picture of my wife, it's quite beautiful."
"..."
Luo Yun sighed and rubbed her forehead.
She should know that rumors are just rumors.
But she didn't understand Luan Yennan's attitude: "If you're dissatisfied, why don't you come forward and clarify things? For example, don't invite Si Ruxin to the car race, and bring your wife along instead."
"If nothing unexpected happens, the day you hold the race will coincide with the bidding conference, and the partner companies will need to coordinate with our project team. Xuanxuan will be in charge then, so she can't go," Luan Yenan said.
Luo Yun was getting frustrated: "What's so interesting about this bidding meeting? Shouldn't this kind of thing be left to the employees?"
Luan Yenan remained silent and continued processing the documents.
Luo Yun scratched her head in anger, took the cigarette out of the pack, put it in her mouth and bit it, then put it back in the pack, exhaling in dissatisfaction, but didn't say anything more.
She always clearly understood one fact: all her businesses were handled by Zhang Wanjun, while Luan Yennan and Zuo Baixuan relied on their own abilities, not professional managers.
...
The listing process went relatively smoothly.
The final approval was completed after the New Year.
All the documents and procedures were in accordance with regulations, and there was also official cooperation to protect them. Even if Luan Lizheng wanted to tamper with things, he wouldn't have the opportunity. He only pretended to care a couple of times during the New Year's Eve dinner.
After the successful IPO, the stock price hit the daily limit several times.
Luan Zuo's wife's reputation has grown considerably among potential business partners in Beijing and even nationwide.
The bidding projects for "smart living" have also attracted more interested companies. However, these companies have had too little preparation time and no longer pose a threat to the original large enterprises.
On the day of the bidding, Luan Yenan personally oversaw the process.
"A company is withdrawing at the last minute, so the seating in the conference room needs to be rearranged. Would you like to sit next to me, or go to the company's side?" Luan Yenan asked casually, glancing at his phone before leaving.
Zuo Baixuan followed behind Luan Yenan and shook her head slightly: "I choose to go to the next office and watch the conference room broadcast with other project members."
Luan Yenan turned to look at Zuo Baixuan, who had made the decision, but said nothing.
Zuo Baixuan looked up at her instead: "What's wrong?"
Luan Yenan turned around: "No, it's just a bit of a surprise. You made so many preparations, but you didn't participate directly."
“It’s not just me. Every team member has put in a lot of effort. You’re with these company representatives, and I’m with them. Isn’t that fair?” Zuo Baixuan tried her best to maintain a calm smile.
Luan Yenan opened the elevator door and nodded: "You are fair, but it sounds like I am an unscrupulous boss who steals the results of my employees' work."
"You are the one. During this period, you and I have been leading everyone to work overtime every day, and there are many complaints." Zuo Baixuan's tone carried a hint of her long-lost temper.
Luan Yenan smiled slightly, a slight upturn at the corners of his lips: "How come I haven't heard about this? They only told you?"
“Yes, if it weren’t for the generous overtime pay you gave them, they would have run away long ago,” Zuo Baixuan replied.
Luan Yenan's smile didn't fade, but he didn't continue the conversation.
Zuo Baixuan, however, glanced up at her stealing a look.
It's strange, these past few days have been busy and fulfilling. We go to get off work and come home together, eat and live together, but we have too few opportunities to communicate, and I feel empty inside.
Now, thanks to Luan Yenan's few words, the tension brought about by the bidding meeting has been eased.
Unbeknownst to her, she had developed a dependence on Luan Yenan. It was a dependence on a highly skilled senior, a dependence on an older and mature older sister, and a dependence on a partner and comrade-in-arms.
It also stems from her dependence on Luan Yenan.
Irrelevant marker.
"What's wrong? Are your glands uncomfortable?" Luan Yenan asked the moment the elevator doors opened.
Zuo Baixuan looked at her reflection in the elevator mirror and covered the back of her neck. She immediately shook her head embarrassedly: "No, I checked that the barrier tape was fine before going to work."
Luan Yenan confirmed that he hadn't unconsciously affected Zuo Baixuan with his pheromones, but he still quickly took a few steps, got into the car first, and sprayed some barrier spray inside.
Zuo Baixuan thought Luan Yenan was just being cautious and didn't take it seriously.
Upon arriving at the company, the bidding process began quickly.
All company representatives were present.
When Ji Liangquan, representing the Qin family and specifically in charge of the "Smart Living" project for Qin Yuancheng, appeared, everyone was somewhat shocked.
This Alpha who had always remained hidden behind Qin Yuancheng had unexpectedly come into the public eye.
Ji Liangquan and his team ignored the surprised looks from everyone around them, and simply nodded to Luan Yenan.
Luan Yenan sat in the VIP seat, holding a notebook and the quotes they had brought, quickly noting down the advantages and disadvantages of each company.
Each company representative would, based on the documents given to Luan Yenan, omit the confidential parts and focus on highlighting what they considered to be their company's most unique advantages.
When it was the Qin family's turn to speak, Luan Yenan, looking at the documents in his hand, stopped writing and didn't move again.
Everyone else was stunned by what the Qin family said.
The conditions offered by each company were completely suppressed, which was just right and appropriate, almost like comparing the documents of all the companies one by one.
The company representatives looked at Luan Yenan almost simultaneously.
They admitted it.
The Qin family has a very solid foundation, and the mobile phones, computers, and even various home appliances they provide are all top-notch.
But which company comes to bid without being 100% sincere?
They use only the latest and most advanced machines, and bring the newest production lines and factories to cooperate.
They even considered giving up the most profits in order to ensure cooperation, fire the first shot, and pave the way for future rapid progress.
However, these well-thought-out plans were easily and completely crushed by the Qin family's scheme.
Thinking about the relationship between Luan Yenan and the Qin family, their expressions became uncontrollably strange, as if they had swallowed a fly.
To be honest, even if Luan Yenan had directly announced his intention to cooperate with the Qin family from the beginning, no one would have objected.
Just like how "Yituan's" first order was a direct collaboration with "Frontend", everyone felt it was only natural.
Now that they've publicly announced a bidding process to find partners, why are they giving the Qin family preferential treatment and suppressing them so tightly? Aren't they just using other companies' hard work to benefit them?
That's really unfair!
Each family swallowed their curses, daring not to speak out.
Not to mention that they can't afford to offend the two giants, the Luan and Qin families, they have to swallow their pride and keep quiet if they want to continue cooperating with the Luan family in the future.
Luan Yenan squinted at Ji Liangquan.
The other company representatives had already been seen out of the meeting room, leaving only the two parties inside.
"Mr. Ji is quite impressive. He managed to suppress us so tightly in the negotiation, not giving us any advantage or the chance to win the bid," Luan Yenan commented, his eyes filled with a gloomy and sinister look.
Anyone sitting here would feel creeped out right now.
Her behavior clearly showed her dissatisfaction with the Qin family's actions.
By suppressing Luan Yenan at every turn and only offering slightly more conditions, even the amount in the proposal was only a few hundred thousand yuan more than the highest price offered by other companies. This was blatantly telling Luan Yenan that the other companies' initial drafts had already been exposed.
This also implies to other companies that they no longer need to compete with the Qin family; they are just there to make up the numbers no matter what.
Ji Liangquan looked into Luan Yenan's eyes, and a hint of panic flashed through his heart. He took two deep breaths to calm himself down.
I was impressed by this young man; he was young but had a big presence.
He straightened his suit, shifted to a more comfortable position in his seat, and said with a smile, "President Luan, you don't need to doubt my sincerity. These proposals were carefully calculated by our project team members. Those companies are all old acquaintances of our Qin family; we know them well and know their bottom line for concessions. We've also spared no expense to come up with this proposal."
Luan Yenan tossed all the proposals onto the table and laughed instead: "It seems you really do know how much other companies are quoting."
Ji Liangquan smiled and said, "President Luan, you don't need to worry about being taken advantage of. We can protect each other's interests and restrain our behavior in the future. This can be written into the agreement we sign later."
Upon hearing this, Luan Yenan understood why Qin Yuancheng had sent Ji Liangquan.
He is fully prepared to focus on business.
The company's decision to collaborate with Luan Yenan stems from its confidence in her future, but it also stems from concerns that her talent and personality might harm the company's interests. Therefore, the company wants to restrict her outrageous behavior.
"Don't worry, I'll have someone prepare the contract properly." Luan Yenan looked away.
"That's good. In that case, I'll let bygones be bygones regarding your extra investigation of us, as long as it doesn't happen again." Ji Liangquan smiled, but his smile was indeed veiled.
Luan Yenan took off his glasses, glanced at Ji Liangquan, and got up to leave: "I have something to do this afternoon, so I'll leave the coordination to other project team members."
Ji Liangquan also stood up and, before Luan Yenan had left the conference room, reminded him again: "Young President Luan, you are still young. I would like to remind you as an elder or someone who has been through it all: if you take some things too seriously or pursue the truth too much, it will lead to trouble."
Luan Yenan stopped in his tracks. These words sounded like a threat, as if if he didn't obey, they would use extreme measures to teach him a lesson.
It's unclear whether this was Ji Liangquan's personal decision or something Qin Yuancheng asked him to relay.
"This is just a friendly reminder," Ji Liangquan added sarcastically.
Luan Yenan left the company without looking back.
Ji Liangquan didn't personally handle the coordination; he simply left the staff behind.
