Upon observing Song Fan stand up, the other two followed suit. Charlie deliberately cast a glance at a tall man behind him. Despite the man having dyed his hair black, Charlie could still discern that something was amiss from his stature and subtle movements.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

He hadn’t anticipated his Second Brother’s men following him to A City. However, it appeared they were here to monitor Gu Chen. Charlie realized he needed to expedite the collaboration with Gu Chen.

Pretending not to recognize the man, Charlie left with Song Fan, engaging in casual conversation. However, when they passed by the man, he unconsciously shifted, and Song Fan keenly sensed his muscles tensing, as if he were ready to attack.

She subtly switched sides with Gu Chen, taking the initiative to approach the man. In a voice that deliberately wasn’t lowered, she said, “The government also values this cooperation. I think the police will help maintain order when the business opens. The police would be quite nervous if someone of your stature came.”

She looked around. Aside from the two foreigners beside her, another group of people was watching her. The two groups locked eyes, and Song Fan even felt the foreign man’s breath pause for a moment.

She smiled and continued, “I knew it. The police will protect you. After all, the incident last time was significant. Someone can’t harm you.”

She held onto Gu Chen’s arm. “Let’s go. Don’t cause trouble for the police. They can’t even eat well.”

Once the three left, the people at the two tables stood up, but no one moved. They merely observed each other.

The foreign man presumed the other party was an A City police officer. The cruise ship incident was massive, and he thought Song Fan mentioned this because she knew these officers.

The people at the other table believed a foreigner had attempted to assassinate Gu Chen. Perhaps the other party was from Interpol, investigating the matter. For a moment, the two groups watching each other hesitated to act rashly.

The restaurant Song Fan chose was close to the company, situated in the downtown area. The three of them quickly returned to Song Corporation, but none uttered a word.

Lan Yue timely brought coffee to the three of them. After the lunch break, everyone was still a bit drowsy, but upon seeing the three return together, everyone became energetic again.

After a moment of silence, the three had their own thoughts. Charlie spoke first. “So, should we get down to business?” He didn’t intend to tell her he recognized the person just now. “Does the Song Corporation already have a plan for the jewelry brand?”

Song Fan could feel he was hiding something, but since he didn’t mention it, she didn’t intend to ask. She smiled and said, “Of course not. I’ve only been in the company for less than half a day. Why don’t we talk about each other’s thoughts and the distribution of profits first?”

Gu Chen nodded, showing no objections. Charlie also raised his eyebrows. Indeed, it was better to start the jewelry brand business as soon as possible. He needed a reason to stay here and a justification for cooperating with Gu Chen.

The other two were business experts, and they naturally had many ideas about creating a brand. Meanwhile, Song Fan diligently recorded their words on the computer and occasionally offered her opinions. Simultaneously, she checked the backgrounds of those individuals on the computer.

As it was almost time to leave work, the three finally formulated a prototype.

In the afternoon, Lan Yue had already thwarted several waves of people who came to inquire about the news. There was even a marketing manager who tried to enter directly but was stopped by Lan Yue and Wen Chao.

Seeing the discussion between the three nearing its end, Charlie also stood up, appearing ready to leave. Lan Yue breathed a sigh of relief. If a few more waves of people came, she might not be able to handle it.

“Xiaoyue, is Miss Song almost finished?” Li Na approached cautiously. It was time to leave work, but no one dared to move if the leader didn’t leave, especially on the first day.

Although the Li family wasn’t an exceptionally renowned aristocratic family, it was the only jewelry appraisal firm in A City. Initially, Li Na just wanted to hang around and obtain her internship certificate, never expecting her boss would have to work overtime on the first day.

Lan Yue shook her head helplessly. “I don’t know, but it looks like it’s almost over. Do you have nothing to do? Are you in a hurry to go back?”

Li Na nodded seriously, not hiding her eagerness to get off work. “I’ve gone through all the materials you gave me, but I don’t know how to plan. I’m not sure what else I can do..”
