Lan Long looked straight ahead as he walked through the corridor with a smile. He mentally sighed, ‘ Yun Nan is indeed extraordinary. Why can’t I have been the first to meet such a woman?
He once again sighed at the Shi brothers’ luck and had even more intentions of destroying them. ‘I have to admit, I’m jealous of them!’
Yun Nan was slightly stunned when she saw Lan Long, thinking, ‘This guy looks a little familiar.’
Lan Long gave Yun Nan a warm and modest smile as he held her hand.
“Director Yun, I’ve heard a lot about you. It’s an honor to meet you today.”
Yun Nan retracted her hand and invited Lan Long to take a seat before she smilingly replied, “You’re too kind, Mr. Lan.”
“We’ve met before,” Lan Long uttered frankly, looking at Yun Nan with a gentle and honest gaze.
In a flash, Yun Nan suddenly recalled the few times she’d run into Lan Long: in the elevator, the hospital, and the coffee shop. Lan Long could tell that Yun Nan remembered. He smiled and said, “I heard that even the briefest brush of shoulders in a crowd is a kismet connection 500 years in the making. It seems
Director Yun and I have quite a deep bond in our previous lives.”
His words made Yun Nan feel slightly uncomfortable for some reason.
Somehow, she felt that Lan Long was being a little deliberate. Yun Nan smiled faintly. “So, Mr. Lan wants to invest in the film industry because of fate?”
Lan Long nodded. “Come to mention it, it still comes down to our bond, Director Yun. Someone recommended your past documentaries to me, and I was deeply fascinated. I immediately volunteered when I heard you were gathering funds to shoot your next documentary. I hope Director Yun can give me a chance to be involved!”
Yun Nan pursed her lips, and her smile faded slightly. “That’s very nice of you,
Mr. Lan.”
‘I’ve never seen such an enthusiastic investor. Something fishVs going on here,’ Yun Nan thought. She instinctively disliked this man before her.
Lan Long could tell Yun Nan’s change in mood from her micro-expression and secretly couldn’t help but feel even more delighted. He suddenly turned serious and stated, “My apologies, Director Yun. I hope you don’t think that I’m being too forward. I’m just speaking from the bottom of my heart, but perhaps my behavior is a little unctuous and flamboyant for the first time we meet to discuss a collaboration. I truly and sincerely want to work with Yun
Innovations. I wish to use your talent to produce another amazing work,
Director Yun.”
He was so sincere that, for a moment, Yun Nan had the false impression that the person before her was a completely different man from the one who first came in. Lan Long commented on Yun Nan’s previous documentaries one by one and mentioned the points that moved him. His interpretation was profound and accurate, and Yun Nan couldn’t help but be moved.
When the time came for Lan Long to leave, Yun Nan personally sent him downstairs. The two shook hands and bid farewell; they’d reached preliminary intentions to cooperate.
Lan Long got into his car and heaved a sigh of relief. ‘Talented women sure are different. It’s been a long time since I’ve had to be on my toes like that with a woman.’
“Young Master, where to?” the driver respectfully asked.
“Take me to ‘Vision of Eternity,”‘ Lan Long answered cheerfully. He took out his phone and made a call. “Hey, this is Lan Long.”
“Oh, I was just about to call you.” Shi Xiu’s merry voice came instantly through the phone.
Lan Long smiled and replied, “It just goes to show that we have a telepathic connection. I booked a table at ‘Vision ofEternity.’ I’ll come pick you up. When do you get off work?”
Shi Xiu chuckled, “Nah, no need. I’ll head over myself after work. Help me order some delicious food. I’m so hungry right now.”
Lan Long dotingly said, “Okay, okay, little princess. You better get back to your work. Let me know when you’ve finished with work. I’ll ask the kitchen to cook something good for you.”
After he hung up, Lan Long stared at his reflection in the rearview mirror and watched as the smile on his face faded bit by bit. ‘How interesting!’ he thought.
Chang Yuan handed the file in his hands to Shi Nian. “This is the list of all the companies that participated in the siege against the Shi Corporation, as well as their backgrounds. Chen Nian and I have screened and compared all the information. On the surface, the main force behind it appeared to be our old rivals, but after further digging and analysis, we found that a company called ‘Blue Shield had business dealing with all these companies. The range and scope of that company’s business are shocking.”
Shi Nian raised his head to look at him. ‘”Blue Shield?”
Chang Yuan nodded. “I didn’t pay attention to this company because it never had any contact with the four great families. Although a lot of our business intersects with theirs, ‘Blue Shield has never touched the four great families.” “They didn’t touch the Xi family either?” Shi Nian asked.
Chang Yuan nodded. “None whatsoever. That’s also why we didn’t have any other suspicions when we found out about Lin Yu’s meddling. However, there are two sides to everything. It was precisely because of Lin Yu’s cover-up attempts that we were able to trace ‘Blue Shield.’ Our findings shocked Chen Nian and I. This ‘Blue Shield has been setting up their plans for more than a year or two. The earliest that we can trace ‘Blue Shield back to is the year Big
Brother Shi Ke got married.”
Shi Nian frowned..
