Chapter 277: Chapter 173: Ji Sinuan Doesn’t Get Enough to Eat at Home

Regardless of what Ling Yue was thinking, Gao Yuan refused.

He couldn’t accept having a child with her so randomly. Besides, when it came to having kids, he wasn’t short on candidates.

His plate was already full. Aside from Lin Wanyu, Li Mengqing, and Xiao Xiao, another five or six girls were lining up for their turn. He really couldn’t get to them all.

How could he possibly have a child with Ling Yue on a whim?

If he really did have a child with Ling Yue, she would be satisfied, but his other women would go insane!

Especially Lin Wanyu and Li Mengqing. Those two were actively trying to conceive. If someone else beat them to it, they would tear Ling Yue to shreds.

Thankfully, Ling Yue didn’t bring the matter up again.

However, Ling Yue did make another suggestion.

It was the same one she had mentioned before: establishing Yuanfang Group Company.

The idea was to consolidate Yuanfang Daily Chemicals, Yuanfang Health Club, Yuanfang Fertility Center, Yuanfang Property Management Company, and others into subsidiaries under the Yuanfang Group.

Yuanfang Law Firm would also be placed under the group company’s umbrella.

The group company would have a president’s office, dedicated solely to serving Gao Yuan.

Gao Yuan had rejected this proposal before, and when Ling Yue brought it up again, he rejected it once more.

His reasoning was the same: things were still in the early stages of development, so there was no rush.

However,

Gao Yuan was very supportive of Ling Yue’s idea to establish a president’s office.

With the number of businesses to his name growing, he really did need a dedicated team. Otherwise, he’d spend his entire week just running from one company to the next, getting nothing else done.

"Okay, how about this."

"You can draw up a proposal for the group. We won’t form the group company just yet, but we can set up a president’s office."

Gao Yuan didn’t want to completely dampen Ling Yue’s enthusiasm. He figured he could let her draft the proposal first. Then, they could review it together and decide which parts to implement right away.

Regarding the law firm in particular, Gao Yuan asked Ling Yue to start by shortlisting résumés from some of the top lawyers in the country for him.

As soon as Ling Yue agreed to the partnership proposal Gao Yuan had laid out, the System notified him that the Group Growth Mission 1.0 was complete.

Gao Yuan also collected the Talent Filter.

Once Ling Yue provided him with the résumés from potential legal candidates, he could use the Talent Filter to scout some top talent for the law firm.

Then he could just hand the files of his chosen candidates over to a headhunting firm and have them do the poaching.

As Gao Yuan and Ling Yue finished their discussion and stepped out of the private room, he saw Tongtong sitting outside, drinking coffee and taking photos. Gao Yuan couldn’t help but glance again at Ling Yue, who was standing beside him.

He didn’t say a word, but Ling Yue could read volumes in his gaze.

She glanced at Tongtong. ’This is probably the type of woman most men like.’

"Let’s go!"

Hearing Gao Yuan call out to her, Tongtong immediately stopped taking photos and hurried to his side.

Gao Yuan glanced at the back of her down jacket and saw that the fox tail was gone. He figured Tongtong must have removed it when she went to get the car washed.

The three of them got into the car. Since it was still early, Gao Yuan turned to Ling Yue in the passenger seat and asked, "Do you have plans later?"

"No."

Ling Yue answered after a brief hesitation, her eyes on Gao Yuan.

"I’ll take you somewhere."

With that, Gao Yuan started driving toward Technology City. Since he had some time on his hands, he decided to take Ling Yue to see the future location for the Future Distant Law Firm.

That was his plan, anyway. But because he hadn’t told Ling Yue they were going to see an office space, her mind went in a completely different direction.

’He’s not really taking me to the Marriott, is he?’

’We already came to an agreement, so why would we be going to the Marriott?’

’If he really is taking me to the Marriott, should I agree or refuse?’

...

A flurry of thoughts ran through Ling Yue’s mind.

She kept glancing at Tongtong in the back seat, wondering if they were going to drop her off somewhere, leaving just the two of them—her and Gao Yuan—alone.

The more she thought about it, the redder Ling Yue’s face became. She lost the courage to even look at Gao Yuan, staring blankly at the tips of her shoes instead.

"Is it too hot in the car?"

Gao Yuan asked, noticing her flushed face.

"Huh?"

"No, no."

Her reply was a flustered mess.

Gao Yuan was beginning to not understand Ling Yue. She was normally such a calm, trustworthy woman. Why was she acting so flustered today?

’It was just a resignation. I even offered her a new job. Is she still moping about her old company?’

Gao Yuan shook his head slightly.

For a moment, he even wondered if the System had made a mistake. In her current state, Ling Yue didn’t seem like a top talent at all.

But the System had already given him the reward, so it couldn’t have been a mistake. Still, Gao Yuan much preferred the professional Ling Yue—she was always so convincing and reliable.

The car drove straight into the Technology City campus. As they passed through the main gate, Gao Yuan gave a quick instruction to Ji Fengchao, who was waiting there.

He wasn’t planning on visiting the property management company on this trip. According to Ji Fengchao’s report, Si Xue had already brought in a team of professionals that morning to conduct evaluations of the entire property management staff.

Aside from a few maintenance workers, none of the employees had passed the evaluation—including Ji Fengchao himself.

That explained why Ji Fengchao was personally manning the gate—even the security guards had been fired.

The instruction Gao Yuan had just given Ji Fengchao was to start by shortlisting résumés for new security guards, with the requirement that they have a special forces background.

「Inside Technology City.」

Gao Yuan drove directly to the front of Building 3.
