163: Chapter 163: Individual Abilities are Very Strong

Although she felt in her heart that this matter was absolutely absurd, Su Ran quickly adjusted the expression on her face.

A gentle smile returned to her exquisite face as she stepped forward and took Lin Yuxi's hand.

"Yuxi, don't be nervous. Come with me to the office, and let's sit down and have a good chat, just us sisters."

Lin Yuxi's mind was completely blank at that moment; she had no idea what Su Ran wanted to talk to her about.

However, she chose to obediently follow Zhang Qi's arrangements, following Su Ran like a puppet, docile and compliant.

Zhang Qi stood in the corridor, watching the two stunning figures ahead, both with graceful bodies and incredibly alluring curves.

The corners of his mouth curled into a satisfied arc; he had great trust in the competence of this woman, Su Ran.

Thinking this, Zhang Qi completely relaxed, putting his hands in his pockets and strolling casually through the spacious and bright Gym.

He walked over to the strength training area and, seeing the top-tier fitness equipment, felt a sudden burst of interest and simply started working out.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Su Ran held Lin Yuxi's hand and led her into the spacious and bright general manager's office.

Lin Yuxi sat down on the sofa, somewhat awkwardly keeping her beautiful, black-stockinged legs together, while stealing glances at Su Ran.

Looking at Su Ran's impeccably tailored professional suit and her capable, confident, and charming workplace aura.

Lin Yuxi, a socially anxious homebody who usually lacked a sense of security, couldn't help but feel a faint sense of inferiority.

Meanwhile, Su Ran, sitting opposite her, was also secretly observing Lin Yuxi, whose beauty was truly stunning.

Su Ran couldn't help but sigh inwardly; her benefactor's eye for picking up girls was truly incredible.

Whether it was herself, her best friend Qian Mengsheng, or Sun Yiyao and Manager Chen Danni, not to mention this neighbor she met today.

Every single one of them was a top-tier beauty!

This really wasn't something you could achieve just by having money!

Su Ran stood up and walked to the water dispenser, gracefully filling a cup of warm water, then turned and handed it to Lin Yuxi.

"Yuxi, have a drink of water to moisten your throat. Don't be so reserved; just treat this place like your own home."

Lin Yuxi took the paper cup with both hands, feeling the warmth radiating from it, and whispered a thank you to Su Ran.

Su Ran sat down on the sofa beside her, her tone very natural, as if they were just two best friends chatting.

"Yuxi, tell your sister the truth: how far have you and Brother Qi actually progressed?"

Hearing such a blunt question, a charming blush instantly spread across Lin Yuxi's cool, delicate cheeks.

She lowered her head to look at the paper cup; although she felt shy, she still honestly confessed.

"Actually, the two of us... we're just missing that final step."

"But Brother Qi said he didn't want to lie to me, that there were some things he had to be honest about, and then he brought me down here."

Hearing this honest answer, Su Ran couldn't help but chuckle, a hint of playfulness in her eyes.

"So, when you heard Brother Qi say that I am also his woman, did you think he was incredibly unfaithful?"

Lin Yuxi's heart was laid bare by Su Ran's question; she bit her delicate lower lip and nodded slightly, being very honest.

It wasn't just her; any woman would likely have the same thought.

Being able to hold back from leaving just now was already a testament to the deep feelings she still had for Zhang Qi.

Su Ran looked at her cute, aggrieved expression and reached out a fair hand to gently pat her shoulder.

"Silly girl, the truth is, the top-tier men in this world who are truly capable and outstanding are basically all like this."

Su Ran's tone became serious as she began to patiently analyze the situation for the girl before her from her own perspective.

"Don't look at how many women are around Brother Qi; in reality, our quality of life while living with him is excellent."

"Look at this high-end Gym with an investment of over ten million; Brother Qi bought it in full just for me to manage."

"And don't think that just because us women are all together, we fight each other to the death like in the dramas."

"Actually, I get along really well with the other women around Brother Qi; we usually treat each other like sisters."

Hearing these words that completely overturned her perception, Lin Yuxi was left dumbfounded, her beautiful eyes wide open.

She felt her worldview being violently shaken at that moment, finding it all simply unbelievable.

When she heard Zhang Qi say earlier that Su Ran was also one of his women, she felt instantly devastated.

Beyond the shattering of her romantic fantasies, it was also out of fear.

Dramas always show that whether it's an ancient emperor or a modern wealthy man, once there are many women, there will be jealousy and infighting.

Lin Yuxi knew her own personality and abilities.

If she were really forced to compete with other women for favor, she felt she would absolutely be played to death by someone else!

So, from just now until this moment, she had been wanting to back out.

But now, hearing Su Ran put it this way, why did it feel like everyone gathered together was actually like a harmonious family?

Su Ran looked at Lin Yuxi's adorably dumbfounded expression of disbelief and knew that this girl definitely didn't believe it yet.

She skillfully unlocked her phone screen and opened the group chat on WeChat named "Qilin Asset Management Company".

Su Ran handed the lit phone screen directly to Lin Yuxi, smiling and gesturing for her to take a close look.

"Look at this group; it contains all of Brother Qi's women, and everyone communicates about work in this group every day."

Lin Yuxi leaned in with great curiosity, her eyes fixed tightly on the very active WeChat group chat interface.

When she saw the detailed chat history in the group, she became even more dumbfounded.

Not only was Su Ran in the group, but it also included that beautiful neighbor she knew who lived in the unit on the west side of the twelfth floor, Sun Yiyao!

And what everyone was discussing in the group was all about coffee shop location selection, renovation plans, and investment returns.

Looking at these ironclad chat records, Lin Yuxi finally began to believe that what Su Ran said earlier was true!

Su Ran watched Lin Yuxi's deeply shocked appearance and, striking while the iron was hot, continued to patiently persuade her.

"Yuxi, take some advice from your sister: as women, we must never care too much about the boring, worldly opinions of others."

"As long as you can achieve financial freedom and live your own life well, other things simply don't matter at all."

Lin Yuxi listened quietly to Su Ran's earnest persuasion, her gaze drifting back to the lit phone screen.

The ironclad facts laid out before her caused a violent, uncontrollable wavering deep within her heart.

She had originally felt that this kind of sharing a man with other women was a bottom line she could absolutely never accept.

But at this moment, under Su Ran's highly persuasive brainwashing and the factual proof laid out before her eyes.

She suddenly felt that this kind of life, where one was not short of money and didn't have to engage in petty schemes, seemed acceptable after all.

After all, her biggest dream had always been to not be trapped by money and to live a life undisturbed by others.

And what Zhang Qi could give her now was exactly all of that which she had dreamed of!

Of course, besides that, it was also because she had deep feelings for Zhang Qi.

To really make her give up completely and leave like a stray dog.

She wasn't willing to do that yet.

However, such a thing was still too shocking and unconventional.

In Lin Yuxi's clear eyes, a struggling look flickered.

Seeing this, Su Ran immediately added fuel to the fire, saying: "And you know what? Brother Qi isn't just rich; his personal ability is also very strong!"
