“Remember to help her out a little. She may not have a complete understanding of the company’s situation. I don’t want her to suffer in their hands.”

After thinking for a moment, Dongfang Gan said this.

Secretary Ding nodded, “Don’t worry, President Gan. Manager Yun is very tactful and knows her limits. Don’t worry. She is much more outstanding than we thought. As long as we give her some time, I think ten Manager Lin’s might not be her match.”

Ding Xiaoling clearly thought very highly of Dongfang Liuyun.

Dongfang Gan felt a lot more assured when he heard that.

“Okay, you continue to watch over her carefully. If there are any problems later, you must let me know immediately. Also, we should get more experts in the Marketing Department, especially for the new product launch next month. I’m worried that she won’t be able to handle it by herself. Later, I’ll ask Vice President Zhang to put aside his tasks and go over to give pointers.”

“President Gan, you don’t have to do this. I’ve roughly seen the first half of Manager Yun’s proposal, and it looks pretty good. So I think this time, we can let Manager Yun do it. Otherwise, we might actually hinder her! I believe that she has the ability,” said Ding Xiaoling.

Dongfang Gan thought about it for a while, and then replied, “Forget it. Let’s take a look first. Well, it’s almost time to get off work. You can get back to your work.”

“Okay, President Gan!” Secretary Ding replied and then slowly left.

...

The curtain was slowly pulled open.

Dongfang Liuyun was covered in a cool breeze. It was already past eight o’clock at night when she dragged her exhausted body back to the company.

She had just finished work and had not had time to have dinner yet. Some of the data on hand still needed to be processed immediately, so she could only go back to the company directly.

The time to get off work had long passed. At this time, the entire company was very clean. It was the weekend, so there were not many people working overtime. Dongfang Liuyun went straight to her office, took out the documents in her briefcase, and continued to be busy.

At this moment, in the parking lot in front of the entrance of the Dongfang Group’s building.

A white luxury car was slowly driving in, steadily parking in a parking space at the side.

Just as the car stopped, the door of the front passenger seat was opened. Ah Li got out of the car swiftly, and with two big strides, he reached the back of the car and opened the door respectfully.

“President Lan, we’ve reached the Dongfang Group. Miss Dongfang’s car is still parked in its original position. She should still be in the office. This is the prepared dinner.”

Just as Lan Xiu got out of the car, Ah Li carried a box of food and went forward.

Lan Xiu raised his head and looked at the tall building in the pitch-black night sky. After a while, he retracted his gaze and reached out to take the box of food from Ah Li’s hands—

“You guys wait in the car. I’ll call you if anything.”

After saying this, Lan Xiu walked into the Dongfang Group.

Obviously Lan Xiu knew where Dongfang Liuyun’s office was situated. He took the elevator to the floor where her office was.

From afar, he could see the office that was still lit up.

‘Knock knock—’

In the office, Dongfang Liuyun was busy and focused when she suddenly heard a knock on the door.

Dongfang Liuyun frowned. Without even lifting her eyelids, she replied indifferently, “Enter!”

As soon as she finished, Lan Xiu pushed the door open and walked in. What greeted his eyes was Dongfang Liuyun writing at full speed in front of her desk.

“It’s so late, yet you’re still here. You’re really putting your life on the line.”

Lan Xiu stood at the door for quite a while and did not see any reaction from Dongfang Liuyun. Only then did he let out a soft sigh and spoke in a low voice. There seemed to be some worry in his tone.

A familiar voice sounded causing Dongfang Liuyun to be startled. She hurriedly averted her gaze from the document in front of her and raised her gaze. When Lan Xiu’s figure entered her sight, she was clearly a little surprised—

“Why are you here?” She asked in surprise.

“Can’t I come over?”

A smile appeared on Lan Xiu’s face. He placed the box of food in his hand on the coffee table in front of the sofa. There was no awkwardness on his face. It was as if the previous unhappiness had turned into a fleeting cloud.

Dongfang Liuyun raised her beautiful eyebrows. She slowly put down the pen in her hand and stood up.

“Who can stop you? If you really wanted to come over? What do you want to drink?”

As she spoke, she walked over.

“Just a glass of water will do. You haven’t had dinner yet, right? I brought some for you. It’s still warm, have some.”

Lan Xiu moved the box of food in front of her. She quickly poured a glass of water for him.

“How did you know that I was still in the office?”

Dongfang Liuyun did not stand on ceremony. She did not eat anything in the afternoon, and now she really felt hungry. She reached out to take it and opened the box of food. Inside were all her favorite dishes.

Lan Xiu had known Dongfang Liuyun for more than twenty years, and they were very good friends. He had long understood Dongfang Liuyun’s taste, so the food he prepared was naturally what Dongfang Liuyun liked to eat.

“I called Uncle Dongfang. I know that you have to work overtime these few days, even when it’s the weekend tomorrow, you probably won’t get to relax. So it’s very normal for you to work overtime tonight.” Lan Xiu lowered his head and drank a mouthful of water as he replied.

Dongfang Liuyun swallowed the food in his mouth and replied, “It definitely won’t be relaxing these days. I haven’t gotten used to all of these yet, so it will take some time. I always knew that it wasn’t easy for you guys in this industry, but I never that it could be this tiring.”

“Do you think there are any industries where work is easy? Do the dishes taste good? Ah Li cooked them personally,” Lan Xiu replied, and his deep gaze quietly fell on her face.

“I thought it was you who cooked it, but Ah Li’s cooking has improved. It’s just slightly salty,” Dongfang Liuyun commented without holding back.

“He probably won’t be happy to hear that. Have you been well?”

Hearing his concerned tone, Dongfang Liuyun stopped what she was doing and turned her gaze to look at him. Only then did she realize that Lan Xiu had lost a lot of weight after not seeing him for such a long time. Moreover, his slightly pale face was somewhat haggard.

After thinking for a moment, she nodded and retracted her gaze. She continued to lower her head and pick up her food—

“I’m doing quite well, but I’m worried that you’re not. I hope that you’re doing better. If I can take on a little responsibility and change the current situation, then perhaps everyone will be better off...”

Dongfang Liuyun’s tone was filled with sincerity.
