She suddenly stood up, tugging at the Leather Bag, and tightly grasped Xu Yan Ying's arms, anxiously asking, "Senior, did you only take this one commission?"
Xu Yan Ying was startled by her sudden movement and paused with his wallet in hand, saying, "How do you know?"
He had regretted a few times why he took on this commission.
Ever since he accepted this job, not only were his work matters suppressed and unable to proceed, but even his career was similarly affected.
Aside from this tricky job at hand, no one dared to approach him for any commissions anymore.
Hearing his response, Shu Ran felt a tremor in her heart.
She thought she was really foolish.
Foolish enough not to see the obvious connection between these two matters.
She had clearly heard the conversation between Qin Xian and Chen Jin in the morning and had secretly told herself to remind Xu Yan Ying not to clash with Qin Xian.
But after being overwhelmed by the matter with Lu Qisheng, she forgot everything.
Shu Ran did not answer his question but urgently confirmed, "The rich second-generation guy you mentioned, is his last name Qin?"
Xu Yan Ying looked at her suspiciously, not understanding how she suddenly knew so clearly, but still answered truthfully, "Yes."
Shu Ran's face was pale as she recalled Qin Xian's cold and ruthless demeanor. With a look of panic, she lowered her gaze and bit her lip, struggling to advise, "Senior, please stop. You can't win against him."
"Do you know who this Qin is? He is from Qin Group."
Xu Yan Ying finally smiled, a bitter smile that was forced and more painful than tears.
She heard his almost desperate voice coldly echoing in her ears, "It's too late, Shu Ran. Do you see? What's in this Leather Bag contains all the mistakes I've made since I started working—accepting bribes, insider trading, tax loopholes."
"Each one has been neatly organized for me."
"He doesn't want me to back down; he won't leave me any way out. What he wants is my life."
That person gave him two choices: one was to be disgraced and suffer in prison for life; the other was to make a decisive choice and end it quickly.
Shu Ran's heart grew colder inch by inch, her fingertips trembling slightly as a chill washed over her.
What he wanted was my life.
His eyes were filled with desolation as he asked, "Shu Ran, tell me, how should I stop?"
Shu Ran tightened her grip on the Leather Bag and pressed her lips together. After a long moment of contemplation, she finally spoke softly, "I'll help you."
For the first time, Shu Ran drove so fast; it took only half an hour to get from the southern part of the city to the city center in the north.
She was almost in a rush to see Qin Xian, hoping to ask him if he could spare Xu Yan Ying.
After all, what wrong had he done in this entire matter?
Just because of this incident, they wanted to put him to death?
Isn't that too excessive?
However, when the car stopped in front of the Qin Building, Shu Ran felt a bit intimidated.
The towering skyscraper rose into the clouds, majestic and magnificent, creating a different atmosphere.
In front of such a grand and imposing building, one felt incredibly small, like a speck of dust.
It was lunchtime, and people were coming and going at the entrance of the Qin Building, groups of two or three passing by her.
Voices discussing work, gossiping, and planning to grab a bite brushed past her.
She walked against the crowd, navigating through the sea of people. Cautiously shrinking her body, she tried to minimize any collisions with others.
Lina had been instructed to wait downstairs early on, but it was quite rare for someone in her position to be seen waiting in the lobby. The company employees passing by were curious and approached to ask which esteemed guest warranted such an arrangement that required Lina herself to come down to greet them.
Lina's expression was calm, her red lips tightly closed, unwilling to reveal even a word.
President Qin had specifically instructed her; she was timid and not allowed to make a fuss so as not to scare him.
Seeing her like this, everyone lost interest and dispersed.
Before long, Lina finally spotted a familiar and stunning figure hesitating at the entrance of the hall.
Lina had also been at the Birthday Banquet last night, witnessing firsthand how the usually stern and unsmiling President Qin smiled warmly beside her.
Gentle, indulgent, cherished—these words seemed completely unrelated to President Qin. Yet last night, President Qin vividly demonstrated them all to her.
This woman was an exception for President Qin, a vulnerability for President Qin, and crucially important to President Qin.
As she thought about this, Lina had already walked gracefully up to her. When Shu Ran looked up in confusion, Lina revealed a standard smile and politely asked, "Are you Miss Shu?"
Shu Ran raised her gaze to the tall beauty in front of her, who wore exquisite makeup. She guessed that this must be Lina, the secretary Qin Xian had mentioned, and nodded in response, "Yes."
Lina smiled. "President Qin is waiting for you. Please follow me."
Shu Ran followed Lina silently along the way. The employees in the company saw Lina leading a graceful and elegant beauty straight to the president's exclusive elevator and whispered among themselves about what a big deal this was.
Someone remarked, "Could she be President Qin's girlfriend?"
In an instant, the atmosphere became lively. Everyone was on tiptoes trying to catch a glimpse of what this future Boss Lady looked like that could captivate their big boss.
Unfortunately, Lina ruthlessly closed the elevator door. Through the narrowing gap of the closing door, she cast a glance at them with a serious and indifferent expression.
It must be said that after spending time with Qin Xian, Lina naturally carried an imposing aura in her every move.
With just one look from her, she silenced everyone; the murmurs abruptly ceased.
They all suppressed their curiosity and returned to their respective positions.
As soon as the elevator doors closed, Lina politely said, "Miss Shu, please don't mind."
Shu Ran smiled in response, "It's fine."
After two minutes, with a ding, the elevator came to a steady stop on the 22nd floor.
"Miss Shu, please."
Lina led Shu Ran to the door of the office and gently knocked. "President Qin, Miss Shu has arrived."
Shu Ran stood at the door, gripping her bag tightly, feeling a bit nervous.
A familiar and cool male voice came from inside the office, "Come in."
"Miss Shu, President Qin is waiting for you inside. I have other matters to attend to, so I won't disturb you."
With that, Lina walked away gracefully in her eight-centimeter high heels.
