"Grow my ass!"
Su Ruowei angrily punched Lin Fan in the stomach.
"If you can't speak properly, then say less—"
Zhang Ting pursed her lips and quickly left the 'battlefield'.
Lin Fan clutched his stomach: "I was wrong."
Su Ruowei tilted her head slightly towards the office, gesturing for Lin Fan to enter.
Lin Fan followed Su Ruowei into the office with great enthusiasm, and even closed the door after they went in.
"I did some work for the police station, so I was released early. Consider it an act of redemption," Lin Fan said casually.
Upon hearing Lin Fan's words, Su Ruowei's face first lit up with joy, but soon a trace of worry appeared on her face.
She spoke slowly, "Working for the police station, it can't be some dangerous job, can it?"
Su Ruowei was conflicted. It was certainly good to be able to help the police station, but an organization like the police station inevitably had some dangerous missions, and she was worried that Lin Fan might be in danger.
"I was only detained for a few days. I didn't commit any serious crime. What kind of classified mission could they possibly assign me!"
Lin Fan smiled and said, "Ruowei, have you been watching too many TV dramas?"
Su Ruowei adjusted the brim of her hat: "If that's really the case, then that would be perfect."
She knew Lin Fan's skills well, so it wouldn't be surprising if the police station assigned him a confidential mission.
Just as Lin Fan was about to say something, the door was suddenly pushed open.
"Ruowei, I have something to tell you—"
Gu Xinyan entered, and she was taken aback when she saw Lin Fan: "Lin Fan, you're out?"
Gu Xinyan didn't sleep a wink last night either, as Su Ruowei kept pulling her on the phone to complain about her experiences at Bai Mei Company.
Gu Xinyan kept reassuring her that Lin Fan would be fine.
"Mm," Lin Fan nodded in response.
Gu Xinyan nodded, thinking to herself that she had asked a pointless question. Lin Fan was the boss of Shancheng Group, so it was not surprising that he was released.
Gu Xinyan continued, firing off a barrage of questions: "By the way, Ruowei, did you know that Bai Mei Company was acquired by Shancheng Group?"
"Moreover, Shancheng Group is recruiting partners for Xinbaimei Company from all over Shancheng City."
"There are no restrictions on who can become a partner; anyone who can propose an excellent cooperation plan can apply."
After saying these words, Gu Xinyan paused for a moment, then looked at Lin Fan thoughtfully.
It dawned on me.
This is to give Bai Mei Company to Ruowei as a gift.
Gu Xinyan originally came to share the good news with Su Ruowei: Shi Yongnian had been arrested and Bai Mei Company had been acquired, which would give Su Ruowei a chance to vent her anger.
She only realized when she saw Lin Fan that Lin Fan had orchestrated everything in secret.
"Ruowei, how far have things progressed between you and Lin Fan?"
Gu Xinyan darted to Su Ruowei's side and whispered in her ear.
"What kind of logic is this?!"
Su Ruowei looked helpless: "Xinyan, your train of thought jumps too fast! You said too much in one breath, I haven't even reacted yet!"
Gu Xinyan slapped her forehead: "Sorry, I got excited!"
Su Ruo smiled and shook her head. Her best friend had always been impatient, and she was used to it.
"Why is Shancheng Group recruiting partners from Shancheng City? Doesn't it seem like they have anyone inside who can come up with a solution? That shouldn't be the case," Su Ruowei asked curiously.
Afterwards, Su Ruowei opened her phone and checked the news. Sure enough, the front page headline of Shancheng City was about this very thing:
[Xinbaimei Company is recruiting a general manager. No experience is required; anyone who can propose an excellent cooperation plan will be selected.]
[Partners will have full responsibility for the company's operations. Those whose net profit exceeds 10 billion RMB within one year will receive 51% of Xinbaimei Company's shares.]
"Is the new president of the Shancheng Group an idiot?"
Su Ruowei instinctively retorted, "What's the difference between this and giving it away for free? What's he after?"
Lin Fan scratched his head awkwardly.
Gu Xinyan stole a glance at Lin Fan: "Ruowei, you can't say that. He's the president of Shancheng Group. He must have his own considerations. He wouldn't do a losing business."
Lin Fan quickly chimed in, "Yes, I think there's nothing wrong with what you said."
"Um, Ruowei?"
Gu Xinyan pursed her lips and tentatively asked, "Why don't you give it a try? What if you get selected?"
Lin Fan secretly gave Gu Xinyan a thumbs up. He was just wondering how to tell Su Ruowei about this, but Gu Xinyan came to his rescue.
"Forget it, Xinyan, you're right. Why would Shancheng Group do a losing business? There must be something fishy going on. I'd rather not become cannon fodder," Su Ruowei said to Gu Xinyan, shaking her head.
Gu Xinyan's eyes widened: "What could be suspicious! You've cooperated with Shancheng Group before, have they treated you unfairly?"
"And the villa you live in now! Wasn't that also won in a lottery by the Shancheng Group?"
Su Ruowei said thoughtfully, "That's why. It's strange enough for a pie to fall from the sky once, but I don't believe it can fall so many times, and every single time it can fall into my mouth."
"My company is having a hard time getting started right now, so I'd better just stick to doing my own business honestly and not get involved in any shady things."
Lin Fan frowned and secretly gave Gu Xinyan a look, hoping she would try to persuade her.
Gu Xinyan nodded slightly, then looked at Su Ruowei: "Ruowei, why don't you have any ambition? What would happen if you tried?"
Su Ruowei said helplessly, "What does this have to do with ambition? Besides—"
Before Su Ruowei could finish speaking, Gu Xinyan interrupted, "Say what you're going to say! I don't care, you have to try! Otherwise, I'll break off all ties with you!"
"Xinyan, why do you insist on making me try? I definitely won't have a chance; it'll just be a waste of time."
Su Ruowei pouted: "I know my own limitations—"
Gu Xinyan stamped her foot anxiously: "Ruowei, don't you think about your cooperation with Shancheng Group, your villa, and—"
"Hey, hey, hey! If Ruowei doesn't want to try, then forget it, don't say anything more."
Lin Fan quickly stopped Gu Xinyan from continuing, as she seemed about to reveal her identity if she kept talking.
Gu Xinyan immediately shut up, but she still resented her useless best friend in her heart.
She thought to herself, "Su Ruowei, your husband is the president of Shancheng Group. Even if he tries to force-feed you, you won't even open your mouth!"
You're really infuriating!
Gu Xinyan grew angrier the more she thought about it, and finally couldn't hold back any longer, shouting at Su Ruowei:
"Su Ruowei, have you been so discouraged that you've lost even this much confidence? If that's the case, your new company will definitely fail!"
She added anxiously, "I know the Bai Mei Company incident has had a significant impact on you, but think about what you can do now. Even if you don't try, you can only wait to find opportunities, talk to clients, and start all over again."
"You already have nothing, so how much worse can things get?"
Lin Fan was startled. Did Gu Xinyan really want to break off their friendship by saying that to Su Ruowei?
Lin Fan looked at Su Ruowei with concern.
Unexpectedly, Su Ruowei smiled and sighed, "Fine, I'll give it a try. I really can't do anything with you."
