Cannon-Fodder Heiress Turns the Tables by Fortune-Telling-Chapter 252 - 251: Exiled to the Frontier

Song Ye, seeing Yun Ran laughing a bit too much, couldn’t help but remind her, "Take it easy, don’t get too carried away. There are plenty of people out there looking to catch you slipping."

Yun Ran waved her hand dismissively. The original owner had a strong sense of self-esteem and, having been gaslighted by the female lead’s mother, Qu Ying, had messed up many times, but didn’t leave behind any fatal evidence.

Even Xie Xuzhi’s people couldn’t find any dirt on the original owner back then, so it would be quite the feat if anyone could dig up something new now.

Not to mention, she’s now a temporary worker at the Special Administration Bureau, and some of her information had already been encrypted.

"Let them investigate; I can handle it."

In fact, that was exactly the case. Whether it was people from the Kyoto Family or from Hai City, they were almost pissed off to death looking at the information in front of them.

Finally, Xie Xuzhi returned and, as soon as he arrived at the Imperial Cauldron Club, he assigned Yun Ran a mission to go to the Northwest.

Also heading there were Daoist Qingmu and Master Jiechen.

Ginsengfruit looked at Yun Ran with some sympathy: [Host, isn’t this what they call being Exiled to the frontier?]

Yun Ran couldn’t help but roll her eyes: "If you can’t say anything nice, then don’t say anything at all!"

When Gu Yuan came to see them off, he carefully consoled Yun Ran, "The boss isn’t mad at you, nor is this a punishment.

Um, it’s just that you really made quite a scene this time. The boss can protect you, but if you keep showing up in front of these people, it will be easy for them to break down.

The boss is sending you to the Northwest to lay low for a bit, come back when things have cooled down."

Someone else might have felt aggrieved, but not Yun Ran—this was already a sign of Xie Xuzhi’s favoritism.

Yun Ran’s previous actions had been a taboo in the circle of aristocratic families.

She was supposed to lead a team; not being punished by Xie Xuzhi and being sent to the Northwest was like giving others an explanation, an outright display of favoritism.

It’s like when a child from your own family starts a fight, and as the parents, you’re the first to send your child to their room to reflect. Whether the child actually reflects is anyone’s guess.

And the others can’t make a fuss about it. The question is: did I, or did I not, punish my own child?

"I’m not that petty. Don’t worry, I have a plan. Oh, by the way, I had someone change the Yang Mansion to Ran Mansion. When you have time, could you keep an eye on it for me? Make sure no one messes with it and brings in any filth."

Gu Yuan: ...

Great, he came out of concern for Yun Ran, to cheer her up.

But who would’ve thought, she’d even start bossing him around.

But since Yun Ran was officially recognized by him as his half-sister, he just had to spoil her: "Okay, I got it. You better get going."

Daoist Qingmu and Master Jiechen smiled as they saw Yun Ran approaching.

Daoist Qingmu spoke first: "Young friend, you’ve been living quite the exciting life lately." ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com

They were already acquaintances, and both of them had always been good to Yun Ran. Going on a trip with them, Yun Ran was more than happy.

Facing Daoist Qingmu’s teasing, Yun Ran chuckled, "You flatter me, you flatter me~"

Master Jiechen looked at Yun Ran appreciatively: "Young lady, you’ve got courage and brains, not bad at all."

How others saw them was none of their business; in their hearts, Yun Ran had done the right thing. To deal with evildoers, one must be ruthless.

It was also their suggestion to Director Xie to let Yun Ran follow them to the Northwest to get away from the spotlight. With the two of them there to back her up, no one could make things difficult for Yun Ran.

The mission was not difficult; with the two of them taking action, that was more than enough. Yun Ran could join them and treat it as a funded trip.

Soon, they arrived in the Northwest. As soon as they landed, the vehicle from the Northwest Branch was waiting at the designated spot.

Although everyone was part of the same System, there were many who had heard of Yun Ran but only a few who actually knew her.

The people from the Northwest Branch, seeing a young girl following behind Daoist Qingmu and Master Jiechen, simply thought she was some family junior coming along to gain experience.

They were quite nice to Yun Ran.

Had Yun Ran come on her own, probably no one would take her seriously, as she was just a temp with no ties to the Mystical Sect aristocratic families.

"We have already prepared a welcome banquet..."

Daoist Qingmu waved his hand: "No need for that, let’s get down to business first. Eating can happen anytime."

It wasn’t that they were joykillers, or trying to disrespect the Northwest Branch. They just didn’t want to waste time.

The Northwest Branch was actually quite anxious, which was why they kept requesting support from the higher-ups.

But as the convention goes, guests should be treated with the utmost respect, especially when the visitors were such distinguished figures. How could they not extend a warm welcome?

Now, hearing that they wanted to get straight to work, the Northwest Branch’s affection for Daoist Qingmu and Master Jiechen skyrocketed.

No wonder the Bureau heavily promoted these two joining them, they indeed were the hands-on type. Who wouldn’t appreciate that?

However, the Northwest Branch still tried to decline: "We should still have a meal first. There’s no rush, we can talk while we eat."

Yun Ran: ...

Heh, if anyone says again that the people in the Special Administration Bureau are straightforward, she’ll be the first to disagree!

In the end, they didn’t have the meal. Following Daoist Qingmu’s insistence, they went directly to the branch office.

By the time they arrived, the office was filled with people, the meeting atmosphere even more significant than when Xie Xuzhi was present.

Yun Ran immediately felt a headache coming on – she hated these kinds of situations the most.

Master Jiechen saw Yun Ran’s disinterest and said with a smile: "Why don’t you go have fun nearby, and I’ll give you a brief summary of the meeting later."

"You really get me, heh heh~"

Yun Jinyang found out Yun Ran had left, and it was already evening. He sighed softly; his stepsister’s whereabouts were becoming increasingly puzzling.

Thinking about having to apply for another leave of absence for her at school, Yun Jinyang felt defeated by a slacker for the very first time.

Perhaps Principal Du had guessed something too, turning a blind eye to Yun Ran’s frequent leaves.

Otherwise, with Principal Du’s temperament, Yun Ran would have been expelled from school long ago.

The assistant, feeling a sense of solidarity upon seeing Yun Jinyang sigh, knew too well the struggle of having a ’less driven’ sister.

But it was still working hours and, being a professional elite, they couldn’t afford to waste a moment, not even for the young master.

He quickly reminded: "Young Master, this is a resource that the third miss helped us secure. How do you think we should handle it?"

Yun Jinyang took the documents and immediately switched back to work mode.
