Xia Yunfan looked at the 50,000 yuan in his hand, his face brimming with a satisfied smile.

Just as he turned to leave, he heard Lin Miao shout, "Stop!" Xia Yunfan turned his head and asked, "Is there something else?" Lin Miao hesitated for a moment before saying, "If I need your help in the future, how can I contact you? Don't worry, I'll pay you."

At this moment, Lin Miao had completely grasped Xia Yunfan's psychology, knowing that this guy only cared about money.

Xia Yunfan took out his phone and waved it, "We already exchanged contact information during the transfer. If you need me, you can contact me anytime."

After saying that, Xia Yunfan turned and left directly.

"This guy is a bit of a scoundrel, but he does have some skills. He might be useful in the future, but I really hope I won't need him," Lin Miao thought to herself, feeling quite helpless. If it weren't for her dangerous situation, she wouldn't want to deal with such a scumbag.

After leaving the train station, Lin Miao went straight to a luxury car parked by the roadside.

The driver, who had seen Lin Miao's photo, said, "Miss Lin, please get in the car."

Lin Miao nodded, "My cousin asked you to pick me up, right? Thank you for your trouble."

As she spoke, Lin Miao got into the luxury car, and the car drove away.

On the other side.

Xia Yunfan checked the time; it was still early.

"At this time, Xin Yue should be working at Xingyue," Xia Yunfan thought. He decided not to go home and instead hailed a taxi on the street.

Fortunately, it wasn't rush hour, so the taxi smoothly arrived at Xingyue Company.

Xia Yunfan swaggered into the company, and a security guard rushed over.

"Stop! Who are you looking for?" The security guard looked quite young, in his twenties, and was a new face.

Xia Yunfan smiled and said, "I'm not looking for anyone. I'm an employee of Xingyue, here to work."

"Nonsense, I haven't seen you around for a long time. If you're an employee, show me your work ID!" The young security guard looked at Xia Yunfan cautiously, making Xia Yunfan feel quite helpless.

Due to his pursuit of becoming a grandmaster, Xia Yunfan hadn't been to the company for several months. Even after becoming a grandmaster, he had only come to work a few times but hadn't seen this young security guard.

It seemed that the young security guard hadn't been on duty during those times, so he hadn't seen Xia Yunfan in the months he had been working there.

Xia Yunfan smiled wryly and said, "I don't need a work ID to come to work, and the senior employees here all know me. I don't need to prove anything."

The security guard's eyes showed a clear look of suspicion, "Nonsense, Director Chu has stipulated that all Xingyue employees must have IDs. You're trying to fool me, but you're not good enough!"

This is ridiculous... Xia Yunfan was speechless. It was like a scholar encountering a soldier—reason couldn't be explained.

Angry, Xia Yunfan took out his phone, ready to call Chu Xinyue.

Although being stopped by a security guard was annoying, having the boss come down personally seemed a bit unfair. But there was no other way, as he was most familiar with Chu Xinyue, after all, they had shared a bed.

"Click, click, click..." At that moment, the sound of high heels came from afar.

Xia Yunfan instinctively turned his head toward the sound and immediately recognized her as Chu Xinyue's secretary, Li Tongtong.

Not for any other reason, but because Li Tongtong's figure was beyond expectations.

Li Tongtong was looking at a file in her hand while quickly walking toward the elevator.

The security guard, seeing Li Tongtong approach, sneered at Xia Yunfan, "Didn't you say the senior employees here know you? This is the CEO's secretary. If you can get her to vouch for you, I'll believe you're an employee here. But do you have the guts?"

"If you put it that way, then I won't hold back," Xia Yunfan said. He had originally planned to call Chu Xinyue, but now it seemed unnecessary.

"Hey!" Xia Yunfan called out to Li Tongtong.

"Ah!" The sudden voice startled Li Tongtong, making her jump.

Li Tongtong quickly looked up, her initial anger turning into surprise upon seeing Xia Yunfan, "Consultant Xia."

"Consultant Xia?!" The young security guard was dumbfounded. He hadn't expected this guy with one arm in a sling to actually be a company employee.

What was even more shocking was that Li Tongtong, who held a high position in the company, was actually smiling obsequiously at this man.

What the hell is going on? For a moment, the young security guard was completely confused.

Xia Yunfan smiled and said, "Tongtong, I have a question."

Li Tongtong nodded and asked, "What is it, Consultant Xia?"

Xia Yunfan smiled and asked, "Does your family grow papayas? How is it that at your age, you're still developing? It's a bit unscientific."

Li Tongtong's face instantly turned red.

Being teased like this, Li Tongtong felt no anger but instead was filled with shyness.

"Consultant Xia, you're joking again," Li Tongtong said shyly.

Xia Yunfan laughed, "Just kidding. By the way, could you vouch for me to this young security guard? Tell him I'm an employee here."

Li Tongtong was stunned and looked at the security guard in disbelief, "You stopped Consultant Xia?"

The look in her eyes made the security guard's heart skip a beat. By now, even if he was slow, he understood that this disabled man held a very high position in the company.

The security guard weakly said, "He... he didn't have a work ID."

Li Tongtong was about to scold him when Xia Yunfan said, "He's a very diligent young man. No ID, no entry—very good."

The security guard looked at Xia Yunfan with gratitude. He hadn't expected this man to speak up for him in the end.

Li Tongtong said sternly, "Remember Consultant Xia's face. If you stop him again, pack your things and leave."

"Yes, yes, I understand," the security guard nodded quickly.

With that, Xia Yunfan and Li Tongtong didn't linger on the matter any longer.

The two walked together toward the elevator.

On the way, Xia Yunfan asked, "Is Xin Yue still in the company?"

Li Tongtong nodded, "The CEO has no plans to go out today. She should still be in her office."

Unlike other CEOs, Li Tongtong knew her boss too well—apart from work, there was only work.

Sometimes, she even suspected that the CEO was an emotionless robot.

Moreover, someone had come to see the CEO today.

"Ding..." The elevator door opened, and Xia Yunfan walked toward Chu Xinyue's office.

Xia Yunfan said to Li Tongtong, "I'll go see Xin Yue alone. You can go back to work."

"Okay," Li Tongtong instinctively agreed.

Just as Xia Yunfan pushed open the door and entered the CEO's office, Li Tongtong's expression changed.

"Oh no, I forgot the CEO is meeting a very important guest right now. She must not be disturbed!"
