"Who are you chatting with?"

"Oh! Nothing, just a patient." Meng Lang put away his phone.

"A patient? Why do you look a bit helpless?"

"Haha! No choice, you know patients, always anxious and uncertain..."

"Uh... alright, but it's getting late, I should get going."

"Not staying for a meal? Don't judge by Xiao Yu's age; his cooking skills are at the level of a top chef."

"Ha! Do you think I'm that free, just exercising or savoring gourmet food?

Thanks to someone's influence, the project schedule is tighter again, I still have to catch a flight later, lunch will have to be on the plane..."

Gao Yuan glanced with slightly aggrieved eyes at someone.

As the saying goes, the leader gives orders and the subordinates run themselves ragged, the greatly advanced schedule meant Gao Yuan's holiday this month was once more foiled.

Even if it was willingly.

Yet one toils, and others live in peace.

Indeed... there is still resentment in the heart...

"Cough! Er... good job! Xiao Yu, see that? People more outstanding than you work even harder, you should really learn from Mr. Gao, got it?" Meng Lang coughed lightly to change the topic.

"Please, Xiao Yu, do not learn this from me.

If you learn, learn from those who strategize in the headquarters and win battles a thousand miles away, sometimes hard work means you're not excellent enough, truly excellent people don't necessarily need to work that hard..."

Meng Lang: "..."

Is she praising me?

But clearly it's all positive words, why do I feel a bit anxious?

...

"Click!" As the door was just opened, Meng Lang noticed a silhouette from the opposite side also opening room 1103's door.

In gym clothes, sweat on her forehead, obviously just back from training at Liang Shanbo, Yan Weiwei heard the commotion behind her and immediately turned her head.

Seeing Meng Lang, she was stunned for a moment, about to say something, next, she glanced past him, noticing a pair of high heels stepping out of the room...

"Hmm?"

Yan Weiwei's eyes instantly narrowed dangerously...

Even with Haitang, you still dare to hide another beauty?

Yet in the next moment, another small head emerged from the room, instantly dispersing Yan Weiwei's murderous aura.

"Sister Weiwei, you're back."

"Mm! Just got back, who's this..." Yan Weiwei loosened her fist and nodded, her gaze falling on Gao Yuan.

Professional skirt, small suit, natural beauty without makeup.

Even more rare was the intellectual beauty exuding from head to toe.

Despite being confident in her own looks, Yan Weiwei had to admit, this was indeed a rare beauty.

"Oh! This is Chairman Gao, Gao Yuan, I mentioned her to you before."

Meng Lang's heart clenched with sweat, quickly introducing.

Indeed, fate didn't miss the chance to hit my waist...

Thankfully, Xiao Yu is here today...

Meng Lang discreetly pushed forward the conspicuous "Xiao Yu card" behind him.

"You are Gao Yuan?" Yan Weiwei was momentarily startled, then showed a somewhat reluctant smile. "I've heard so much about you."

From Meng Lang and Lin Haitang, she had often heard about this wealthy lady.

Not only was Hu Yifei's company revived because of her, she was also the major investor in "Pegasus"...

However, what she didn't expect was such a young and beautiful woman to own so many businesses.

Outshining Lin Haitang in looks, and wealth outpacing her by wide margins...

Noticing the faint vigilance in Yan Weiwei's eyes, Gao Yuan gave a faint smile to Meng Lang, then proactively extended her hand.

"Hello, you must be Miss Yan Weiwei, I've heard about you from Meng Lang. I heard you're interested in investing in the film and entertainment industry, perhaps we'll have a chance to collaborate in the future."

"Of course, it turns out we're both investors in 'Pegasus' thanks to you, I've made quite a bit of profit."

"Haha! It's my honor indeed."

Their hands clasped together, both wearing big smiles, while Meng Lang and Xiao Yu each involuntarily shrank back a bit.

"So, what brings you two here today..." Yan Weiwei gave Meng Lang a look urging him to explain honestly.

"Oh! Well... I'm Chairman Gao's special consultant, today she specifically came to check on work." He hinted at Gao Yuan with a glance.

Work check?

Yan Weiwei looked skeptical.

It's always heard of subordinates going to leaders' homes for work reports, never the other way around...

Gao Yuan caught Meng Lang's hint, a hint of playful mirth flashing in her eyes.

"Yes! I've always admired Mr. Meng's talents and wanted to know him better for some time.

We've known each other for a while, and this is my first visit, though a bachelor, he's unexpectedly neat even in the bedroom."

Meng Lang was sweating bullets!

I asked for a work discussion, why bring up bedrooms?

You can admire my talents but no need to emphasize in-depth knowing!

It's just asking you to work overtime, no need to make it hard for the boss like this? On a narrow path!

Sure enough, Yan Weiwei's gaze turned unfriendly immediately...

"Cough! Didn't you say you have a flight to catch? I'll see you off."

Worried about what other "clever quips" Gao Yuan might spout, Meng Lang quickly planned to see her out.

However, this time, Gao Yuan wasn't in a hurry.

She checked her watch, "Hmm… actually the timing isn't so tight, worst case I'll change flights...

By the way, didn't you just praise Xiao Yu's cooking? Xiao Yu, if you don't mind, may I try your cooking?"

"This…" Meng Lang's face froze.

"Of course, teacher, I'll go cook now, it'll be quick!" The hospitable Xiao Yu nodded repeatedly.

"Teacher?" Hearing the address, Yan Weiwei was momentarily stunned.

"Oh? Didn't Meng Lang tell you? He asked me to be Xiao Yu's extracurricular teacher.

With our relationship, how could I refuse?"

Hey hey! We are purely comrades-in-arms, don't say things so easily misunderstood...

Yan Weiwei, unable to hear Meng Lang's inner scream, forced a slightly stiff smile, nearly through gritted teeth said.

"Is that so... This guy still likes making decisions on his own as always..."

"Not at all, I actually find men with opinions more charming, hehe..."

"... Looks like you really appreciate him, Chairman Gao!"

"Of course, but don't call me Chairman Gao, just call me Gao Yuan like Meng Lang does in private."

"..."

Watching Yan Weiwei, who was gritting her teeth, being led by the smiling Gao Yuan into room 1103, Meng Lang stood in the wind completely bewildered.

Hey, hey!

The script didn't tell me there'd be this kind of unexpected situation today!

Could it be the guys kept this from me again?

Sure, you guys are carrying the load at the front, but it's not like I'm just enjoying peace and quiet at the back either!

Every day seeing these brutal reports from the front lines, my stress is pretty high too!

Life is already tough, why do I feel targeted by the entire world?

If this little lemon spirit Yan Weiwei embellishes things in front of Lin Haitang, who knows, maybe they'll be getting their marriage certificate tomorrow...

After all the hard work over several lifetimes, back to square one in a day?

Thinking of this, he quickly followed them in.

"Miss Gao, have a seat first. I'm going in to change clothes..."

Obviously not a match for Gao Yuan, Master Yan, whose blood pressure spiked from a few provoking words, ultimately conceded.

"Okay! Guest's at the host's disposal."

The smiling Gao Yuan sat on the living room sofa and casually glanced around the room's setup.

Hmm... Why does it feel oddly familiar?

"Chairman Gao, I haven't offended you, have I? Why say those things..."

Taking the chance while Yan Weiwei was away, Meng Lang said to Gao Yuan, looking speechless.

"Hmm? Which of the things I just said isn't an objective fact?" Gao Yuan looked innocent.

Meng Lang was speechless.

Sure, every word is an objective fact, but each word is dripping with subjective consciousness.

I admit, you're also someone skilled at being misunderstood...

"Changed your mind and stayed, you're doing it on purpose..."

"Hmm! Doing it on purpose, yes!" Gao Yuan openly confessed with a smile.

"Didn't you once say that sitting in the back is best for watching a show, because you can observe the audience?

I've only been watching people before; today I'm finally at the front row... Taking half a day off isn't too much, is it?"

Meng Lang: "..."

This isn't too much?

So you specifically stayed to watch a show, huh?

Gao Yuan glanced at Yan Weiwei's bedroom and then looked at Meng Lang with a significant expression.

"Haha! A woman's sixth sense is sharp, no wonder every time Haitang mentions this Miss Yan, he looks like he wants to say something but hesitates..."

Meng Lang: "..."

What the hell! Really?

Just from such tiny clues, you've almost accurately guessed my love life storyline?!

Besides Duan Xian, is there anyone else this terrifying?

"Haha! Sure enough... there's a story between you..."

In that brief moment of faltering, Gao Yuan captured the unnatural look on Meng Lang's face, further confirming her suspicion.

Meng Lang suddenly felt numb, with an urge to immediately turn and run away.

This person actually lured me into conversation again!

Even though I didn't actually say anything...

No! Stop reading my micro-expressions!

"What, you're not planning on having a foot in two boats, are you?" Gao Yuan's gaze towards Meng Lang turned somewhat dangerous.

I can barely handle you enjoying peace and quiet, but this romance stuff is too much!

"How could I!"

Even if I wanted to, fate would never allow it!

The bloody lesson is right in front of me...

Trying to maintain calmness, he turned away, desperately avoiding the other's "mind reading technique," knowing denial now was futile, he could only sigh long and deep.

"For things to develop to this point today, I truly didn't expect it, as for the story... it's a long one..."

"Hmm! You could also make a long story short."

"To make a long story short... sigh! In a company of three, one must die..."

Gao Yuan: "???"

What does that mean?

A company of three, one must be a teacher?

So it's choose one of the two? And follow whichever is better?

...

Yan Weiwei took quite a long time to change.

When she came out, it was obvious she had just bathed, her hair was wet, and she emitted a fragrant scent of shower gel...

Unlike her usual more conservative attire, today Yan Weiwei was dressed exceptionally lightly.

Especially in that silky mini skirt, her dazzling long legs held Meng Lang's gaze for a full three seconds...

"Clang~ clang clang~ clang clang clang~"

Burying his head, spooning rice, Meng Lang tried his best not to let his eyes wander and could only sigh internally.

If you're demonstrating, fine, but testing the cadre this way is excessive...

He silently chanted the Heart Clarity Spell.

I can't see, can't see...

And then immediately, he saw a soft, tender piece of rib placed in his bowl.

His neck stiff, he looked up to see Gao Yuan smiling tenderly.

"Heard from your mom that you like this, have some more."

Meng Lang: "..."

Yan Weiwei: "..."

Wow, a sentence brimming with so much information, you're adamant about stirring trouble in my backyard, huh?

"Crack!"

The next moment, a crisp crack was heard.

They looked over in astonishment, only to see Yan Weiwei, still smiling, but with a few cracks appearing on the white porcelain bowl in her hand...

"Gulp~" A synchronized swallowing sound.

Gao Yuan: "..."

Though she had some misunderstanding.

It was uncanny how she suddenly got the wordplay in Meng Lang's phrase...
