Cao Xueyi said, "There are quite a few people here, and some didn't come, but they sent their gifts."

Ling Zhenfei said, "With today's gift money and those signing up for memberships, we surely made millions."

Cao Xueyi looked at him in admiration, "I never imagined we'd earn so much in just one day. You're a genius."

Ling Zhenfei said, "Don't flatter me. This is just the beginning. It will depend on you all in the future."

Cao Xueyi, full of confidence, said, "Don't worry. I'll definitely manage it well."

As they were talking, Ge Yunlan suddenly walked out of the room and headed toward them.

Ling Zhenfei had already noticed Ge Yunlan and said to Cao Xueyi, "I'll go downstairs to greet them. I'll leave you in charge here."

He winked at Cao Xueyi as he spoke, and Cao Xueyi understood.

Before Ge Yunlan could reach, Ling Zhenfei had already gone downstairs. Ge Yunlan was about to follow when Cao Xueyi called her back.

"Yunlan, where are you going? We sisters haven't chatted in a long time."

Ge Yunlan had to stop and said to Cao Xueyi, "What do we have to talk about? I'd better chat with Ling Zhenfei."

Cao Xueyi said, "Yunlan, Mr. Ling is so busy, don't bother him. I'm the manager of the restaurant, so if there's anything about the restaurant, you can tell me."

Ge Yunlan said, "Xueyi, you don't need to worry about my business. I'm here for Ling Zhenfei."

Cao Xueyi said, "Ge Yunlan, do I need to remind you of your own status? Stop clinging to Ling Zhenfei."

With one sentence from Cao Xueyi, the atmosphere between the two changed instantly.

Ge Yunlan smiled at Cao Xueyi, "Cao Xueyi, do I need your reminder of my status? Don't think your status is so high above mine. At least I rely on myself, unlike you, just lucky to have a good father."

Cao Xueyi said, "What's wrong with having a good father? I'm still better than you."

Ge Yunlan said, "Cao Xueyi, put away your arrogance. Our target is the same, which is Ling Zhenfei. Don't act all high and mighty. Your rival is not me, but the woman inside."

Cao Xueyi was stunned and asked, "What do you mean, the woman inside, what woman?"

Ge Yunlan smirked, "You should know who's sitting in the next room, right?"

Cao Xueyi glanced at the room Ge Yunlan pointed to, nodded, and said, "Inside are the Four Young Masters of the Capital and some people from the investment circle."

Ge Yunlan asked, "Do you know the woman sitting in there?"

Cao Xueyi thought for a moment, "I don't know, what's up?"

Ge Yunlan said, "Look at that woman, how do you compare to her?"

Cao Xueyi peered into the room and her face showed a trace of peculiarity, "That woman seems very successful, and she's quite decent-looking."

Ge Yunlan said, "And she's a bit more mature than you, right?"

Cao Xueyi asked, "What do you mean by this woman?"

Ge Yunlan said, "Since our target is Ling Zhenfei, you should get to know all the women around him well, including this one."

Cao Xueyi, a bit impatient, said, "You've said so much, but who is this woman?"

Ge Yunlan answered, "This woman's name is Li Ru. She's quite famous in the Capital City's investment circle, especially as a woman. Do you know how I met Ling Zhenfei?"

"How did you meet?"

Ge Yunlan said, "It was at Sister Liu's engagement party. Her fiancé was Li Ru's ex-husband, but that day, Li Ru attended with Ling Zhenfei."

At that time, they were in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship. Sister Liu wanted to humiliate Li Ru in front of her, but it backfired as Ling Zhenfei embarrassed Sister Liu instead."

Cao Xueyi asked, "Were they really in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship?"

Ge Yunlan responded, "Even if they weren't truly dating, their relationship is definitely not ordinary."

Cao Xueyi's expression turned slightly sour, but she said, "You're overthinking. Can't they just be regular friends?"

Ge Yunlan laughed lightly, "Regular friends, huh? Cao Xueyi, since when did you become so naive? Do you really believe in true friendship between men and women?"

Cao Xueyi said, "How do you know there isn't?"

Ge Yunlan chuckled, "Cao Xueyi, when did you become so naive? If you insist on saying that, I have nothing more to say. But I must remind you, your biggest threat is Li Ru, not me."

After saying that, Ge Yunlan headed downstairs, clearly intending to pursue Ling Zhenfei. Now, she was trying every possible way to get close to him; only by staying close to Ling Zhenfei could she get everything she wanted from him.

By this time, Ling Zhenfei had already reached downstairs. The crowd was still large, with many of Ling Zhenfei's fans requesting photos and signatures, and he obliged all of them.

Xiao Sa was busy streaming live inside. He had seen lines like this many times and was in no rush.

Just then, Ge Yunlan followed downstairs, deliberately approaching Ling Zhenfei and said to him, "Zhenfei, why'd you come down here? I couldn't find you."

Ling Zhenfei quickly withdrew his arm from Ge Yunlan, "What are you doing? Watch yourself."

Ge Yunlan laughed, "I know, I'll be careful." Indeed, Ge Yunlan was quite the actress, putting on a submissive act for Ling Zhenfei.

Everyone around was stunned, not knowing who this suddenly appeared woman was. It was obvious Ling Zhenfei knew her, but she dared to act so intimately with him.

Ling Zhenfei was a bit helpless dealing with Ge Yunlan. What was this situation? Why did this woman keep clinging to him?

He had heard from Li Ru that Ge Yunlan was a socialite, known for having numerous boyfriends, all in hopes of striking it big someday.

Since the last time he and Li Ru revealed their relationship at that party, he felt he had been stuck with this woman.

Ling Zhenfei said, "Stop clinging to me. I'm very busy now."

After speaking, Ling Zhenfei walked away, but Ge Yunlan showed no sign of leaving, instead following him.

Though Ling Zhenfei kept asking her to leave, his distant fans couldn't hear. He didn't want to make a scene, so he spoke in a low voice.

Because of this, people from afar only saw Ling Zhenfei talking to a woman, who seemed submissive, without knowing what they were really discussing.

Xiao Sa, a bit confused from afar, said, "Guys, stop asking. I'm just streaming. I don't know who that woman is either, but I've never seen her before."
