20: Chapter 20 It's Not That

A narrow space, an alluring fragrance.

The two were pressed tightly together, clearly feeling each other's body heat.

"Ding! Floor 38 has arrived!"

Su Lan, holding Xiao Ran's arm, arrived at her company.

A striking logo immediately caught their eye: "Lan Xin."

When the two walked into the office area, side-by-side,

the employees instantly froze.

Those drinking water stopped, those slacking off forgot to switch screens, and those chatting fell silent.

Did they wake up too early this morning?

Or did they work overtime last night until they blacked out?

They had lived long enough to see this:

Their cold and aloof beautiful President, who was never interested in men,

was actually leaning on a ridiculously handsome pretty boy like a delicate bird!

OH!

No!

This isn't real!

Why am I more handsome than this pretty boy, yet I can't win President Su's favor?

The male employees wailed in their hearts!

"A Grand Documentary: The Fall of the President!"

Su Lan looked at her employees, fuming, and immediately said with a cold face:

"What are you looking at? Do you all not want your salaries anymore?"

"Ah! Sorry, President Su! I just suddenly thought of something and zoned out!"

"Yes, President Su, I've been so busy lately I'm dizzy!"

"Me too!"

Su Lan's expression relaxed a little then,

and she said solemnly:

"Remember this! This is my man! From now on, in this company, what he says is what I say, do you all understand!"

"Yes! President Su!"

The employees responded in unison.

Su Lan nodded with satisfaction,

a brilliant smile appearing as she looked at Xiao Ran, as if seeking praise:

"What do you think of Sister's company? It's pretty good, right?"

Xiao Ran, the 'demon' who could instantly change his expression, said with certainty: "It's very good, the atmosphere is quite pleasant!"

"Of course, and look who's managing it."

"Sister Su Lan, that one just now was playing a game." Xiao Ran subtly pointed.

"Hmm?" Su Lan's face froze. To be embarrassed in front of her beloved! She immediately became furious, "Zhang Wei! Playing games during work! Your bonus for this month is gone!"

Zhang Wei: "???"

He got caught even playing Minesweeper occasionally!

My bonus!

Xiao Ran's lips curved slightly.

That's what you get for peeking at my Su Lan; your bonus is gone!

Hehehe... In the office.

It was Xiao Ran's first time here!

But once the curtains were drawn, the door closed, and they entered the inner room, Su Lan seemed like a different person.

Her wine-red high heels came off her delicate feet,

one clattering heavily against the French window, the other disappearing from sight.

Her pale, yet sexy feet danced in the air.

The aloof President had become passionately fiery.

Xiao Ran smiled faintly.

He walked to the French window, picked up the carelessly discarded shoe; the other one was nowhere to be found.

His gaze went outside.

The 38th floor was high enough to overlook a corner of the city.

The hustle and bustle were visible but inaudible.

It had been a long time since he stood this high!

It was good to see this world.

"What's wrong? Are you unhappy?"

Su Lan's tone was gentle.

Her two arms, like jade lotuses, wrapped around his waist, and the virgin's faint scent filled his nostrils.

Xiao Ran came back to his senses.

The softness against his back made him feel ecstatic.

"Nothing, I just thought of something unpleasant."

He turned around, putting down the shoe.

He slightly pulled away.

Sometimes,

the more one touches soft things, the harder one's own heart becomes.

It's a strange thing.

But this wasn't a good thing.

"Sister will make you happy!"

Su Lan smiled charmingly, a beauty that could topple cities.

She jumped up and wrapped her arms around his neck, her legs circling his waist, like a man-eating enchantress, locking him firmly in place.

Their eyes met.

Xiao Ran's emotions instantly surged.

Holy cow!

This enchantress!

"Su Lan, please be mindful of your image!"

The gentlemanly him accidentally glanced down!

Immediately, his blood surged, and he almost had a nosebleed.

"It's okay, as long as it's you, big brother, Lan Lan can do anything!"

Her eyes conveyed affection, and her words carried a seductive charm.

Her warm, fragrant breath brushed against his collar.

A tingling sensation.

She was too good at this!

"Sister Su Lan, quickly come down, I need to talk to you about something serious."

Xiao Ran patted her slender waist.

It was a perfect fit for his hand, smooth but not greasy.

He was a little reluctant to let go.

"But Lan Lan wants to talk about something not so serious!" Su Lan suddenly extended her pink tongue, lightly tracing his chin.

The warm touch sent a shiver through Xiao Ran.

Hiss!

The Emperor of Lust was terrifying!

Xiao Ran was starting to buckle.

The aloof President had transformed into a fiery enchantress, her alluring aura constantly tempting him to commit 'crimes'.

"Quickly come down! If you don't, I'm leaving!"

"Alright! Why so fierce!"

Su Lan saw that his seriousness wasn't faked and reluctantly jumped off him.

Did she think that was the end of it?

If standing wasn't allowed, sitting must be, right?

With a sudden push,

Xiao Ran, caught off guard, was thrown onto the sofa.

Su Lan took the opportunity to sit on his lap, hooking her arms around his neck.

Their eyes met again,

her beautiful eyes blinking, reflecting his handsome face, filled with deep affection, all for him.

The office was instantly filled with a seductive atmosphere.

"Cough, cough!"

Damn it!

A qualified target would place itself in an easy-to-hit position.

Form is emptiness, emptiness is form, I am form... Pfft!

Xiao Ran suppressed his discomfort, trying hard to change the subject, "Sister Su Lan, can you tell me the specific situation?"

Su Lan's expression was a little resentful.

Why bring up these annoying things?

But seeing that he didn't seem to be joking, she decided to explain.

She raised her hand, lightly pushing back her disheveled hair, her charming posture exuding an indescribable allure.

"We developed a new product a few days ago, but some things haven't been perfected yet, so we haven't applied for a patent.

But I didn't expect! We actually had a traitor here who stole all the information and sold it to a rival company, and they even got the patent!"

At this point,

Su Lan's face was filled with anger; she wished she could cleave that traitor in half with a single blow.

"The company lost its competitive advantage. So much money was invested in the early stages, only for it all to come to nothing.

Not only can we not recover the costs, but our partners have also defected to the rival company!

Now, after paying the breach of contract fees, not only can we not pay salaries, but we're also deep in debt..."

Su Lan's tone was somewhat dejected.

'Xiao Ran, Sister might not be able to be with you anymore!'

Xiao Ran pondered for a moment.

From Su Lan's perspective, this was a huge problem.

But from his perspective, it was too simple to solve.

"What's the scale of the company that registered the patent?" Xiao Ran continued to ask.

Su Lan snuggled into his arms, not knowing why he was asking these things, but she still told him truthfully:

"The rival company is slightly larger, with a market value of about a billion yuan!"

That's it?

Then it's no big deal.

It really was just a phone call away.

But, it wouldn't be bad to use it as a stepping stone for Su Lan's company.

As long as he gave Su Lan a superior product, and with a 'step on one, praise one' strategy to highlight it, her company could quickly rise.

Later, they could even directly acquire the rival company.

Put those aside for now,

the most important thing was to help her company revive first.

If they dragged it out for a few more days, the company would probably be gone!

Thinking of this, Xiao Ran asked:

"Sister Su Lan, what is the current funding gap?"

"About two hundred million, after all, there's too much money to compensate."

Only two hundred million... "Sister Su Lan, if you're short two hundred million, I have it!" Xiao Ran didn't play guessing games and said directly.

Su Lan was stunned for a moment,

then playfully slapped his chest, and said faintly:

"Don't joke around, Sister is short on money, not that thing with a tail! Of course, if you're willing, Sister would also be happy to accept it."

As she spoke,

she leaned forward slightly, blowing a seductive breath near his collar, utterly charming!

Xiao Ran: "..."
