Upon hearing his cousin ask about this, Qin Ming coughed, "He is most likely the scion of a big consortium."

Meng Xue narrowed her eyes and smiled, "Oh? Is that so?"

"I did check out that friend of yours. He doesn't seem to have any background."

Qin Ming's eyes darted around, making an evasive response, "But what you checked might not be accurate either."

Meng Xue chuckled, "But you've dealt with many big consortium heirs. What's so special about this time?"

"Enough to make you do something so outrageous for him?"

At this point, Meng Xue brought a chair over and with a "bang," placed it in front of herself.

She sat down, crossed her long legs, and looked at Qin Ming, "Come on. Explain yourself properly."

"If your explanation is good enough, who knows, I might not beat you up today."

Qin Ming stiffened his neck and said, "I really thought he had status."

"Moreover, if he didn't have status, then given his age and that development speed, it further proves that his skills and abilities are top-notch."

"Who knows, he might just skyrocket to success."

Upon saying this, Qin Ming cautiously glanced at Meng Xue and said, "As for tonight... I'm not unaware of Uncle's temperament. At most, he would scold me and cut my allowance for two months."

"And you... you're my cousin, could you possibly kill me?"

"I risk nothing for potentially great gains... why not make this deal?"

Meng Xue laughed heartily, "It seems you really are a business prodigy!"

"Come on!" Meng Xue stood up, raised a feather duster, and exclaimed, "Let's see if I can beat you to death!"

"You traitor!"

"Stop! Don't run!..."

Chen Yan was oblivious to the fact that he had stirred up another "battle" among the He siblings.

He drove home and then went upstairs.

After taking a shower, Chen Yan went to bed.

Checking the time, it was only 12 o'clock. Yang Rou probably hadn't gone to sleep, so Chen Yan made a phone call to her.

He mainly discussed the incident of his office desks and chairs being smashed.

As planned, Chen Yan asked Yang Rou to give the company two days off to replace the new desks and chairs.

He would also deposit 2 million into the company account to cover the losses for these two days.

What Chen Yan liked most about Yang Rou was her "obedience."

Perhaps from playing the role of an assistant for so many years, Yang Rou was particularly accustomed to following orders and would adjust and complete things according to what Chen Yan suggested.

Compared to the naivety of young girls, this might just be the charm of a mature woman.

Thus, without asking any questions, after listening to Chen Yan's instructions, she took note and prepared to arrange everything immediately once the call was over.

In her own room, writing her novel, Nuan Nuan overheard the phone conversation between her mother and Chen Yan in the living room, and her hands slowly stopped typing as her ears perked up.

She checked the time; it was already 12 AM.

What was Chen Yan discussing with her mother at this hour?

Even though she knew this was her roommate's boyfriend, Nuan Nuan couldn't help but feel curious...

Maybe it was because of the few coincidental meetings with Chen Yan, perhaps due to her mother's influence, or possibly because of Chen Yan's outstanding qualities compared to his peers, lately, Nuan Nuan often found herself thinking of Chen Yan.

Although she felt nothing special for him, whenever something related to Chen Yan occurred, she couldn't help but pay attention.

After a long pause, hearing the phone being hung up, Nuan Nuan set her laptop aside, put on her glasses, slipped on her slippers, opened her room door, and went to the living room.

Pretending to be rubbing her eyes while grabbing a cup of water, she nonchalantly asked, "Mom, who was calling so late at night?"

Hearing her daughter's voice, Yang Rou, who was writing a business plan, responded indifferently, "President Chen."

Nuan Nuan sneakily glanced at her mother's expression, noticing that her mother hadn't detected anything unusual.

Then, in her sweet, sticky voice, she asked, "What was it about?"

Yang Rou replied, "He said he inspected the company tonight and found the desks and chairs too ugly. So, he had them all smashed."

"Asked me to replace them tomorrow and give the employees a couple of days off."

Hearing Yang Rou's words, Nuan Nuan exclaimed, "Smash the desks and chairs? Just like that?"

Yang Rou grunted in acknowledgment and continued writing her business plan.

Knowing her mother's personality, Nuan Nuan realized that she probably wouldn't ask Chen Yan for the reason, so, holding her cup with curiosity, she returned to her room.

"Because he found them ugly..."

"So he smashed the desks and chairs?"

A question mark popped up in Nuan Nuan's mind.

What kind of excuse was that...

Something felt off to Nuan Nuan...

After finishing his call with Yang Rou, Chen Yan checked his "Virtual Girlfriend" game, thought a bit, and clicked to withdraw all his current wealth and "Profession Wealth."

Combined, Chen Yan could withdraw over twenty-two million.

Since he had limited cash on hand, this withdrawal would take a long time, a total of 20 days.

Furthermore, the operation was more complex than usual, requiring financing and diversifying into several stocks.

Chen Yan checked the details of those stocks and realized that probably because he had too much cash, purchasing just one stock might easily lead to a market crash or draw regulatory attention.

Thus, the system gave him this option.

However, this was only a minor inconvenience, so Chen Yan didn't mind.

After jotting down the details of the withdrawal, he set his phone aside, turned off the light, and quietly went to sleep.

....

The next day, the morning sun shone on Nuan Nuan's face.

Without her glasses disguise, she looked much prettier.

Perhaps feeling the sunlight, her long eyelashes fluttered, and then she slowly opened her eyes.

Just awoken, she showed no pretense, her eyes carrying a faint chill and a trace of allure.

Looking at her face, which still retained some childishness, there was a sense of an unripe stunning beauty.

She stretched her pale arm out of the quilt, grabbed her phone to check the time, and saw it was already past eight.

Nuan Nuan sat up, the smooth quilt sliding off her body, revealing her unclothed,self.

She liked to sleep naked. It made her sleep more peacefully...

After putting on her clothes and glasses, a smile returned to Nuan Nuan's face, looking so gentle and comfortable.

She got out of bed, opened the door, and stepped out.

Yang Rou was already not at home: Although the company had no work today, as the general manager, she needed to clean up the mess Chen Yan had left.

Preparing a fried egg for herself, Nuan Nuan got ready, put on a coat, and, with her books, left for the university: She had classes in the morning.

As she stepped out of her house, Nuan Nuan glanced at the tightly closed door next door.

There wasn't a single gap in the door, nor any sound; waiting in the elevator lobby for a while, Nuan Nuan felt sure the neighbor wouldn't come out and pressed the elevator button.

Moments later, the elevator arrived, and Nuan Nuan slowly stepped inside...

The apartment wasn't far from Qin Island University, and soon, Nuan Nuan arrived.

Walking down the familiar path, she reached today's classroom. Today's class was a mandatory large class that several departments would attend together.

Entering the classroom, Nuan Nuan heard a familiar voice,

"I'm telling you! Last night, I could hear Aunt Wang's snoring through the door."

"I pushed her door, but it wouldn't open."

"I knocked hard, and she didn't wake up!"

"I panicked! I had already run from home! What if I couldn't get into the dorm?"

"So, a spark of inspiration! I just went for it and chopped Aunt Wang's door open!"

"Hahaha! Am I not clever?"

Hearing that familiar voice, a happy smile appeared on Nuan Nuan's face. Looking towards the direction of the sound, sure enough, after taking a break of more than a week, Zhao Ying, who had only sporadically attended school for the past month, was back!

At this moment, she was in the last row of the classroom, surrounded by Yu Qiao Qiao and three others, narrating her last night's "heroic deeds."

Nuan Nuan hurried over, and before she even reached her roommate, she blurted out with a mix of scolding and joy, "Brother Ying, you haven't been at school for several days, and the day you come back, you chop down Aunt Wang's door again!"

Hearing Nuan Nuan's words, Zhao Ying looked up, grinned sheepishly, and said, "Ah, it was just out of urgency."

Nuan Nuan smiled as she watched Zhao Ying.

Everyone had been really worried since Brother Ying hadn't been attending school much recently. Now that she was back, Nuan Nuan was truly very happy, extremely happy.

Yet, as she was smiling at Zhao Ying, suddenly, her gaze was drawn to the blazer on Zhao Ying's body, her smile froze, disbelief apparent in her eyes...
