Shen Yao hadn't expected Song Junhan to eliminate the highly anticipated "Lian" in the group. However, seeing Song Junhan's dumbfounded and foolish expression, Shen Yao couldn't help but chuckle and curse, "Useless."
Accused by Shen Yao, Song Junhan didn't dare to retort, only raising his hand to awkwardly touch his nose.
Shen Yao shifted her posture, resting her elbows on the car window's edge, her fingertips against her temples. She squinted her beautiful phoenix eyes and asked lazily, "How is your cooperation with Yu Linwan going?"
"Very smoothly. She's a very capable person." Song Junhan knew what he should and shouldn't say, only mentioning the good aspects in front of Shen Yao. "Things are progressing very well now. The show's popularity is high, and as long as the subsequent stages are handled correctly, we won't worry about the return on investment."
"Those are secondary. The truly important thing is to find Yu family's true daughter through this show," Shen Yao said. "The current one from the Yu family is too much of an eyesore."
If she couldn't get rid of "Lian" during this opportunity, she would find Yu family's true daughter and expose her, forcing the organization to deal with "Lian" for its own preservation.
Truly capable people didn't need to be many; one was enough.
The matter of Tang Jiamingzhu was an accident, and also the catalyst for the organization's formal intention to cultivate a new force to replace her.
She, Gouwen, was never someone who could be easily replaced.
If that was the case, she might as well strike first.
As long as she could secure her irreplaceable position, she believed the organization would prioritize resources to help her find her sister's whereabouts.
If she couldn't find her sister, then she would truly die with unclosed eyes.
"But wasn't the Yu family's true daughter missing shortly after the previous kidnapping incident?" Song Junhan frowned and said, "All we know now is that before she went missing, the Yu family's true daughter went to Z University to find Xia Qingtian.
No one knows what they talked about. Soon after, the Yu family's true daughter disappeared."
Song Junhan wasn't very clear about the specific information regarding that true daughter.
He only knew that the true daughter was disfigured by fire, had worked as a voice actor, was later deceived and trafficked to an underground clinic involved in human organ smuggling, and then disappeared completely not long after.
"Xia Qingtian again..." Hearing the name, Shen Yao immediately recalled what happened that night at Gouwen Fengqing Tower, and her brows furrowed displeasedly.
Seeing Shen Yao's strong aversion to Xia Qingtian, Song Junhan's eyes lit up. He immediately spoke ill of Xia Qingtian, describing her as cunning and ruthless, a perpetrator who would stop at nothing to achieve her goals, as if Xia Qingtian's crimes were too numerous to list.
Before Song Junhan could finish, Shen Yao interrupted him with a raised hand. "I am well aware of your past with Xia Qingtian, and I know what kind of person she is. You don't need to say more."
His half-finished words were cut off, leaving him unable to speak or swallow, which made Song Junhan's expression turn a bit unsightly. However, Song Junhan quickly suppressed this feeling of frustration, but Shen Yao still noticed it.
Shen Yao scoffed and said, "I have a good job for you."
"What can I do for Ms. Shen?" Song Junhan immediately asked.
Deliberately ignoring the subtle cleverness in Song Junhan's words, Shen Yao continued, "The Young Master will arrive in Z City this week, probably in a day or two. You are responsible for receiving him."
"Young Master?!" Hearing this title, Song Junhan's spirits immediately lifted. "Is it that once-in-a-century financial genius?"
"You're quite well-informed," Shen Yao chuckled. "He's the only Young Master in the organization."
"Please rest assured, I will assist you in hosting the Young Master!" Song Junhan said excitedly.
If he could get on the Young Master's good side, what was Gouwen to him?
Shen Yao was well aware of Song Junhan's little thoughts.
But Shen Yao didn't care.
Serving a lord is like accompanying a tiger.
Let alone that unpredictable and ruthless Young Master.
Compared to appearing before the Young Master, the probability of losing one's head in front of the Young Master was much higher.
If Song Junhan caught the Young Master's eye, it would be his fortune.
If Song Junhan offended the Young Master, she would still have Yu Linwan to rely on in Z City.
It wouldn't matter if Song Junhan died.
Glancing at Song Junhan out of the corner of her eye, and seeing his eager and joyful demeanor, Shen Yao's lips turned down, and then she continued to hold her breath.
She really hated flying. Every time she flew, she would get a headache and tinnitus, which was very uncomfortable.
On the other side, Yu Zixuan, who had just arrived at her accommodation, immediately plunged into work.
From the materials submitted by her subordinates, they hadn't been slacking off. They had been searching earnestly, but the results were not very good.
Yu Zixuan sat at the desk in the hotel suite, supporting her forehead with one hand, her brows furrowed, her temples throbbing, and her ears buzzing.
At this moment, her phone vibrated. Yu Zixuan immediately answered and said, "I'm so sorry, I've been looking at design drafts since I got to the hotel and forgot to tell you."
"You really forget everything when you're working," Yue Chengfeng said helplessly. "No wonder I treat you like a child."
"I'm sorry..." Yu Zixuan said affectionately and coquettishly, "This project is quite urgent, and I want to finish it quickly so I can go back and be with you."
"You should take care of yourself first," Yue Chengfeng said. "Every time you fly, you get a headache, nausea, can't eat, and your ears buzz. It takes a long time to recover. I think you should prioritize resting and eating some soft food."
Seeing that Yu Zixuan seemed to want to argue, Yue Chengfeng deliberately put on a stern face and ordered, "You have to eat even if you can't!"
"Okay..." Yu Zixuan could only agree. "Then I'll order room service to bring some food."
"Do you want Xia Qingtian to accompany you?" Yue Chengfeng suggested again. "Although Xia Qingtian is young, she is reliable. If she accompanies you, I can be a little more at ease."
"Don't bother her. She's busy with her studies and work. Besides, I'm not feeling well right now, and my complexion isn't very good. I have my pride, you know?" Yu Zixuan felt that it wasn't the right time to see Xia Qingtian. If Xia Qingtian found anything out, it would be terrible.
"Heh, you're already acting like a sister-in-law before even entering the door. That's good, very sensible," Yue Chengfeng chuckled.
"You!" Yu Zixuan's cheeks flushed at his words, and then she frowned, "You're making me angry, which is giving me a headache!"
"Alright, alright, I won't say anymore. I have to go to a meeting soon. Remember to eat." Yue Chengfeng said.
"Mm." Yu Zixuan smiled sweetly before hanging up the phone.
Then, looking at the pile of documents, she sighed heavily.
She had to find Tang Jiamingzhu before Xia Qingtian and Gouwen.
