Although Ye Qiu and Sha Beibei entered the hotel together, they didn't notice much, firstly because Sha Beibei wasn't in particularly high spirits, and secondly, because too many things had happened recently, Ye Qiu was also a bit worried about Bai Lan.

Therefore, after chatting for a while, Ye Qiu decided to leave.

After leaving the hotel, Ye Qiu hurried back to Wang Haoran's place.

When he saw Bai Lan on the phone, he breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Bai Lan was fine, that was good.

"Lanlan, the person sent by Harry Company is Harry Dong's nephew, and he's extremely arrogant within our company, acting as if he's a big shot just because he's an executive from their company. Moreover, he's very unsatisfied with our company's progress!"

On the other end of the phone, Lan Ying immediately began to pour out her grievances to Bai Lan.

"Did that guy named Paul say anything?" Bai Lan asked, frowning.

"Not really, but I feel like he's deliberately finding fault, always stirring up trouble over nothing. I feel like he's intentionally making things difficult for us," Lan Ying thought for a moment and said.

"Alright, you try to hold him off for now, I'll think of a solution."

After saying this, Bai Lan hung up the phone.

"What's wrong?"

Ye Qiu had good hearing and could clearly hear the conversation between Bai Lan and Lan Ying.

"Nothing."

Ye Qiu didn't know much about the company's affairs, so Bai Lan didn't explain in detail to him either.

"Don't worry, this time, Harry Group values this cooperation even more than our Bai Group. I think they wouldn't deliberately ruin this collaboration." Ye Qiu tried to reassure.

"I hope so."

Though Bai Lan said this, the worry on her face didn't lessen at all.

...

Meanwhile, inside the Bai Group.

Right after Lan Ying hung up the phone, the office door burst open.

A blond, blue-eyed man with fair skin entered from outside. Despite his gentlemanly dress, the greed in his eyes deeply betrayed his character.

Seeing the Caucasian man in front of her, Lan Ying couldn't help but frown. Usually, she hated it when outsiders barged into her office uninvited.

However, at this moment, she didn't get angry because the man in front of her was Paul, the executive sent over by Harry Group.

"Is there something you need, Mr. Paul?"

Looking at Paul, Lan Ying spoke in a light and unimpressed tone.

"Dear Lan, you should know that our Harry Group is the largest consortium in the United States, and our business deals run into billions. However, your company's progress is really disappointing. Do you know how much loss this will cause our Harry Group?"

"What do you mean?" Lan Ying was a bit angry now, feeling like Paul was just causing trouble out of nothing, the kind of person who picks bones out of an egg.

"Dear Lan, you're really beautiful today."

As Paul spoke, he sat right in front of Lan Ying without asking, as if he was the master of the place.

"Mr. Paul, please mind your words!"

Lan Ying swore if the man in front of her wasn't an executive from Harry Group, she would've slapped him with a folder already.

Seeing Lan Ying trying to control her anger, Paul didn't care at all. He slowly took out a cigar from his pocket, lit it, and leisurely took a puff.

The entire action took at least three minutes. Lan Ying swore, Paul was definitely the most annoying person she had ever met, bar none!

Even Ye Qiu, who usually didn't get along with her, was a thousand times better than Paul, at least Ye Qiu wouldn't brazenly smoke in her office right in front of her.

"Dear Lan, I think you should be aware of your Bai Group's current situation."

After blowing a smoke ring, Paul slowly said, "If your Bai Group is without this project from our Harry Group, you wouldn't last long before going bankrupt."

"What do you mean by that?"

Lan Ying knew Paul was right, though there were widespread reports outside about Bai Group, all of it was based on the cooperation with Harry Group. If the cooperation ended, Bai Group would quickly return to its former state.

"No, no, no, it's not about what I mean, but about what you should mean."

After saying this, Paul's gaze fell on Lan Ying.

He scrutinized Lan Ying, and this was not his first time doing so.

His scrutinizing made Lan Ying extremely uncomfortable because it wasn't a normal look!

While looking at her, Paul's eyes were filled with undisguised greed, the naked desire was enough to make one nauseous.

Her voluptuous figure and pretty face, Paul could swear, even in the United States, there was no one who could rival Lan Ying.

For this reason, a strong desire surged in Paul to possess this woman!

Lan Ying wasn't some fresh-faced graduate. She was well aware of the workplace rules!

However, knowing was one thing, she wasn't the type to sell her soul for her career.

"Mr. Paul, I think you should not forget that this cooperation was initially proposed by your Harry Group!" Lan Ying continued to suppress her anger, not wanting to tear things apart unless absolutely necessary.

"So what?"

In the face of Lan Ying's words, Paul was indifferent!

Even though his uncle Harry Dong had personally told him to value this cooperation, Paul believed that Harry Group cooperating with a small company like Bai Group was Bai Group's great fortune. Even if he messed it up, so what?

Would his uncle blame him for a small company like this? What a joke, he was a bona fide group executive!

"I'm sorry, I suddenly remembered something else I need to handle, so I must excuse myself!"

Lan Ying really couldn't stand it anymore, she directly chose to walk out of her office, leaving Paul completely bewildered.

"F*ck! That b*tch!"

Seeing Lan Ying's departing figure, Paul was furious. This wasn't the first time Lan Ying had rejected him.

Paul extinguished his cigar on Lan Ying's desk and then spitefully said, "Hmph, you eastern woman, don't act all high and mighty, one day, you'll be begging on my bed!"
