Mortal Group Headquarters.

Lin Fan sat in the office, calling Wu Yili: "Miss Wu, how's it going?"

Wu Yili replied: "I've already called Wei Tiansheng and officially terminated the agreement with him. Anyway, I only had a verbal agreement with him before and hadn't signed anything. I've already severed ties with Wangu Group."

Lin Fan smiled and said: "Good, send over your call record with Wei Tiansheng. We'll need it later. By the way, are you on your way now?"

Wu Yili said: "Yes, I'm on the road."

Lin Fan said: "I'll wait for you to arrive."

After speaking, Lin Fan hung up the phone.

Knock! Knock!

At this moment, there was a knock on the door outside.

Lin Fan said: "Come in."

Entering the room was Wei Yue'er.

"Um... a lot of reporters have come outside the company, saying they want to interview you. Should we send them away?" Wei Yue'er asked.

Lin Fan said: "Ignore them for now."

"Okay." Wei Yue'er responded, looking at Lin Fan, "Are you okay? The colleagues are all concerned about how you're feeling."

She finally mustered the courage to come in, mainly wanting to see Lin Fan.

Everyone in Mortal feels that the chairman has been hit hard this time. After all, being sabotaged by Wei Tiansheng, it seems the chairman has shut himself alone in his office, probably in depression.

This might be Lin Fan's first such defeat. In the employees' minds, Mr. Lin has always been a godlike figure, never losing.

This time, Mr. Lin lost, and his image and prestige seemed not as tall as before.

Reality is so cruel. You either keep winning, or if you lose once, you'll face many negative opinions.

This time, Lin Fan bet his prestige to fight to the end with Wei Tiansheng.

Lin Fan smiled and said: "I'm fine."

Wei Yue'er said: "You're locked up here, and you say you're fine?"

Lin Fan said: "Do you remember what I told you last night?"

Wei Yue'er nodded: "I remember you said you didn't want to sign Chen Shihong... is that true?"

Lin Fan said: "That's right. So now that Chen Shihong has been snagged by Wei Tiansheng, why would I feel bad? Chen Shihong was just bait I threw to him, and he bit it. Not only do I not feel bad, but who understands the joy of catching a big fish?"

Wei Yue'er: "..."

Lin Fan said: "The person I truly want to get, Wu Yili, has already terminated the agreement with Wei Tiansheng. She's on her way here. Yue'er, there's something I need you to help with."

Wei Yue'er said: "Yes, what is it?"

Lin Fan said: "Help me investigate Miss Wu's family company situation. Yesterday, Wei Tiansheng used problems in her family's company to coerce her. We need to resolve this."

Wei Yue'er nodded and said: "Okay, I'll look into it immediately."

She felt guilty toward Lin Fan, so she was determined to do this well.

For a short moment, Wei Yue'er had an impulse to confess everything to Lin Fan, to tell him that she is actually Wei Tiansheng's sister.

But she ultimately gave up on the idea because she was afraid that once Lin Fan knew her identity, she wouldn't be able to stay by his side. That's the minor issue; more terrifying is that they might not even remain friends.

Because Lin Fan would definitely think she was a spy, sent by Wei Tiansheng to gather information.

If Lin Fan really misunderstood her like that, would he still be friends with her!

She feared such an outcome, which was unacceptable to her, so she chose to continue hiding it until a suitable time came.

This wasn't completely disadvantageous, at least she knew that her brother Wei Tiansheng harbored hostility toward Lin Fan. Naturally, she also needed to be wary of him in the future.

"Yue'er, if colleagues ask when you go out, just say I'm fine, and I will soon give everyone an answer," Lin Fan said.

Wei Yue'er nodded, agreed, and then went out.

Lin Fan picked up his phone and saw a file just sent by Wu Yili, containing her conversation with Wei Tiansheng.

Lin Fan couldn't help but let out a cold smile.

An hour later.

Zhao Jiayi knocked and came in.

"Chairman, Miss Wu has arrived," Zhao Jiayi said.

Lin Fan said: "Good, bring her in. By the way, is the contract I asked you to prepare ready? Bring it along."

Zhao Jiayi replied: "It's ready, coming right away."

Initially, when Lin Fan returned to the office, he instructed Zhao Jiayi to modify the signing contract. This contract was originally prepared for Chen Shihong, requiring only simple changes.

Lin Fan asked: "Are the reporters still outside?"

Zhao Jiayi said: "Yes, they're all waiting to interview the chairman."

Lin Fan said: "Great, go tell them I will be out soon to conduct a live interview."

Zhao Jiayi was a bit surprised, was the chairman going to hold a press conference?

Subsequently, Zhao Jiayi went out and brought Wu Yili and the contract in.

"Mr. Lin." Upon entering, Wu Yili's face reddened slightly upon seeing Lin Fan. She was in such a hurry to get here; it felt like she was burning with anxiety.

Lin Fan smiled: "You finally arrived, please have a seat."

Wu Yili sat down.

Lin Fan said: "I've already listened to the recording you sent. It seems there are no more obstacles. Take a look at this contract, and if there's no issue, we will officially sign it."

Wu Yili took the contract, glanced through it briefly, and eagerly picked up the pen to sign. She was so excited that her hands trembled slightly.

She finally signed with Mortal Group, finally becoming the designer for Mortal Headquarters Mansion. This super project was a rare opportunity to realize her dreams in this lifetime. Naturally, she would treasure it immensely.

After signing the contract, Lin Fan stood up, extending his hand to Wu Yili: "Miss Wu, congratulations on joining Mortal Group, looking forward to our cooperation."

"Looking forward to our cooperation," Wu Yili smiled and shook hands with Lin Fan. Oh, his hand was so warm; she instantly felt something melting inside her.

The reason she determinedly joined Mortal Group, besides the project itself, was primarily because of Lin Fan.

He was simply too handsome; his charm completely captivated her heart.

Lin Fan smiled: "Now let's go out and face the reporters. I want everyone to know that you, Wu Yili, are the one I, Lin Fan, want!"

"Yes." Hearing this, Wu Yili felt immense excitement and a deep sense of happiness. This happiness could only be felt when dreams come true.

In Hang City, Wangu Group.

Chen Shihong was still in Wei Tiansheng's office, chatting away with him.

Wei Tiansheng was in a good mood today. After many face-offs with Lin Fan, he finally won one today. How could he not be thrilled?

They even planned to go to Yun City the next day because Wei Tiansheng wanted to see Lin Fan's expression when he was hit by the setback, which would definitely be interesting.

"Father, Lin Fan is holding a press conference right now!" Wei Jiansheng suddenly said.

Wei Tiansheng made a noise: "Is that so? Quick, turn on the TV! Seems like we can enjoy Lin Fan's disgruntled face without going to Yun City, hahaha..." 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

Chen Shihong laughed: "Exactly, this time for sure he'll be ridiculed. He's got to do some PR."

They all laughed heartily together.

At this time, they didn't know they would soon stop laughing.
