The fortune telling was so accurate that I accidentally accumulated a huge amount of merit!

Chapter 402 The Future is Bright (2 Updates)
Although Xie Xuzhi was lying in a hospital bed, his sharp eyes could still make Gu Yuan's heart tremble.

His voice came through the computer at the same time: "I think you're asking for a beating, you're getting cocky!"

Gu Yuan paused for a moment. He did it on purpose, taking advantage of the fact that his boss couldn't throw things at him right now, to fight for resources for Yun Ran.

When have these people ever lacked money?

He felt sorry for Yun Ran, who had risked her life several times before. She couldn't even come up with a mere 1 billion yuan and had to bear the responsibility of compensation.

"Boss, what you're saying is disheartening. If I were the one who damaged the ring, do you think Director Hao would come after me for compensation?"

At most, people would come to him to complain about how difficult things are for the logistics staff, and ask him to sign off on the application for damage and reconstruction.

Soon, the eldest brother will officially become the rightful leader, and he must try his best to secure some special benefits for Yun Ran.

For example, having the authority to sign off on reimbursements within a certain limit.

"You don't need to jump around here, Yunran, I have my own plans!"

If a different person were in power, Gu Yuan's current actions would certainly arouse suspicion, and might even lead people to believe that he and Yun Ran were in cahoots.

Xie Xuzhi's gaze turned coldly to Gu Yuan again: "Go and keep an eye on what I asked you to keep an eye on. From now on, don't interfere in Yun Ran's affairs!"

Gu Yuan chuckled. He now felt that he really did have a bit of a masochistic streak.

Being scolded by his boss actually made him feel more at ease. At the same time, he also realized that his half-sister's future was bright.

"Don't worry, boss. When have I ever messed up anything you assign me?"

Thinking about how he would soon make a fortune from the betting on the Grand Tournament champion, Gu Yuan was secretly delighted and was already planning how to split the profits with Yun Ran.

Naturally, they didn't see the indescribable look in Xie Xuzhi's eyes at that moment.

In Gu Yuan's mind, Mingming had always been a generous and wise leader.

But now, Gu Yuan always subconsciously feels that he is a stingy capitalist, and is afraid that he will mistreat Yun Ran.

If he didn't know clearly that Gu Yuan would not hesitate to trade his life for his own in danger, he would want to crack open Gu Yuan's head and take a look.

He, Xie Xuzhi, the eldest son of the Xie family and the secret power holder, could never be a stingy or miserly person!
"Get out of here! I don't want to see you right now!"

Gu Yuan chuckled twice, then left the ward, preparing to take action against those who had been lured out and were now eager to make their move.

Xie Xuzhi was alone in the room once again.

He looked at the screen, at the arena that was half-built, and at Director Hao, whose eyes were shining as he followed behind Yun Ran.

Without needing to guess, he knew that Director Hao had his eye on the little paper figure.

This naturally brings to mind Yunran's little paper dolls, one of which became a formally appointed 'divine constable'.

There were also those who were left in the Northwest to help Dr. Yu and his team with their work, and those who are now guarding his side.

Unfortunately, he can't contact Yunran now, so he has to find a messenger.

Xie Xuzhi's eyes darkened, and he looked at the little paper figure in the ward, which had returned to normal.

"Please tell Yunran that she doesn't need to give face to anyone!"

His tone and demeanor suggested that he even despised himself.

The little paper figure slowly raised its head, its cartoon eyes clearly showing a hint of hesitation.

The master was angry and didn't like Director Xie very much.

But it had been sent by its owner to protect him, and now that he was angry, he hadn't recalled it. After thinking for a moment, it nodded, and its soft, cute voice immediately rang out: "Okay, Director Xie~"

As Yunran watched the little paper figures working efficiently, the voice of the little paper figures echoed in her mind.

Even the exact words Gu Yuan and Xie Xuzhi had spoken were relayed to them.

After saying that, the little paper doll eagerly awaited Yunran's new instructions.

Yun Ran still didn't want to talk to Xie Xuzhi and the others: "You stay there for now. I'll call you back when I get to Kyoto!"

[Okay, master. 】

Xie Xuzhi's reminder was actually unnecessary. Yun Ran wasn't some naive girl; she could naturally sense what Director Hao's current enthusiasm was for.

However, she still learned some 'insider' information.

This was clearly Xie Xuzhi's doing, to let her know that he trusted her, and therefore trusted her little paper doll as well.

It was also to tell her that he might be targeted while he was in 'disgrace', so that she would temporarily put up with it and cooperate.

Thinking of this, Yun Ran couldn't help but roll her eyes. These people who are good at power struggles are all sesame seeds.

Anyone who's even slightly dim-witted would be helping the other party count the money after being sold out.

As time ticked by, an hour was almost up, and the restoration of the arena was nearing its end.

If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, no one present would have believed that someone could actually restore something that had been destroyed.

Director Hao walked up to Yun Ran with a smile: "Miss Yun, I have a suggestion, I wonder if you..."

Before he could finish speaking, Yun Ran interrupted him: "I have absolutely no interest in it!"

"I haven't even said anything yet, how does Miss Yun know that she's not interested?"

Yun Ran looked at Director Hao with an expression that clearly said, 'I'm not stupid.'

"If something really good happened, would it be possible for someone of my background to get it? It would have been taken by other powerful families in the Xuanmen sect long ago."

Director Hao: ...

That's true, but there's no need to be so blunt.

"Only Miss Yun can handle this; no one else can do it."

Yun Ran shook her head again: "No interest. I'm afraid a pie falling from the sky will kill me."

Who knows, at some point, someone might just say a few words and my things will no longer be mine; they could be confiscated.

Hearing Yun Ran's pointed remark, even Director Hao, with his thick skin, was speechless.

He wanted to assure Yunran that if she was willing to let the little paper doll do 'part-time work,' he would definitely not have any bad intentions and would give her fair compensation.

However, he couldn't guarantee what others might think. With Director Xie about to fall, it was hard to say who would be in charge in the future.

Yun Ran is powerful, but often, you can't fight city hall.

Even the most powerful figures in the Xuanmen sect have to compromise for various reasons and sometimes have to back down.

Director Hao's gaze fell on the paper figures. It would indeed be a pity if these paper figures were confiscated one day.

His tone immediately turned regretful: "That's truly a pity."
