As night deepened, the study in the Su family villa was brightly lit.

Su Yingxue sat behind a large mahogany desk, with a thick stack of project documents in front of her. She rubbed her temples, her bright face full of fatigue.

The 500 million yuan order from Tianhai Group weighed heavily on her mind. The Su family was competing with the Chu family, and the Chu family was not only well-prepared, but also seemed to have received some inside information in advance, giving them an advantage in every aspect.

"A 30% chance is already optimistic," she muttered to herself.

The study door was gently pushed open, and Ye Heng walked in carrying a cup of warm milk.

He had just finished a busy day, but there was no sign of fatigue on his face.

"Work is never-ending, Yingxue, you still need to take care of yourself and get some rest!" Ye Heng placed the milk next to Su Yingxue.

Su Yingxue glanced at him but didn't touch the glass of milk.

After I warned Ye Heng during the day, he finally stopped shouting.

"Tianhai Group's order is worth a full 500 million yuan, which is of great importance to the future development of our Su family. Of course, I can't rest at this critical juncture."

She sighed as she said this.

"Sigh, why am I telling you all this? You can't help anyway."

Ye Heng leaned against the edge of the desk and suddenly remembered that Liu Zhixian seemed to have mentioned to him that Tianhai Group seemed to have a significant connection with Tianfeng Pavilion.

"I can help with this."

Su Yingxue looked up at him, her gaze filled with undisguised suspicion: "You? Ye Heng, I know you're a skilled doctor, and even have the ability to appraise treasures. But this is a 500 million yuan project; it's not something your medical skills can solve."

She stood up, walked to the window, and turned her back to Ye Heng: "Just now, Su Wangchuan and Tianhai Group successfully connected. He seems quite confident. For now, we can only let him take over this project..."

Despite this, Su Yingxue felt a strange unease. She had recently begun to notice some unusual behavior from Su Wangchuan, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.

The fiancé whom her grandfather had forced upon her initially disgusted her, but after observing him for a while, she discovered that he was not as simple as he seemed.

Ye Heng was not angered by her disdain. Instead, he smiled slightly and said, "There's nothing I can do if you don't believe me. Anyway, take care of yourself and drink this glass of milk."

After saying that, Ye Heng closed the door and left.

The study door closed gently, and Su Yingxue stood there, her heart filled with complex emotions.

She walked to the table, looked at the still steaming glass of milk, and finally picked it up and took a sip.

The warm liquid slid down her throat, and she felt a strange sense of calm.

Suddenly, I feel that this is actually quite heartwarming...

At the same time, Ye Heng returned to his room and immediately dialed Liu Zhixian's number.

"Zhi Xian, that's me."

A lazy laugh came from the other end of the phone: "Of course I know it's you. Even if you turned to ashes, I would still recognize your voice, not to mention that I set it as a special ringtone."

"I'm calling to ask you for a favor. Does Tianfeng Pavilion currently have any connection with Tianhai Group?"

"Of course, Wei Zong, the chairman of Tianhai Group, is also the head of my Tianfeng Pavilion."

"That makes things easier. The Su family is currently competing with the Chu family for Tianhai Group's projects, and I hope Tianhai will choose the Su family."

"So anxious? Looks like it's because of your fiancée's company, huh? Sigh, making me help another woman, how can you be so heartless to me!"

"Stop joking, this is serious." Ye Heng, naturally aware that Liu Zhixian was joking, said helplessly, "The Su family is in a precarious situation right now. If we don't secure this project, we'll be in big trouble. And..."

He paused, a cold glint flashing in his eyes: "At this critical juncture, Su Wangchuan has become the project manager. I suspect he has some kind of conspiracy. We must secure this project before he causes any more trouble."

"Understood." Liu Zhixian's tone became serious. "I'll inform the hall master right away."

After hanging up the phone, Ye Heng stood by the window, gazing in the direction of Su Yingxue's study.

"It's a way of relieving my wife's worries," Ye Heng muttered to himself. "Of course, more importantly, it's about letting Su Wangchuan suffer the most severe blow when he's at his most confident!"

On the other side, Liu Zhixian was sitting upright on the main sofa in the chairman's office of Tianhai Group. She had come today to routinely hear a report from Hall Master Wei Zong on the recent operations of Tianhai Group and the balance of power in the underground world.

Wei Zong stood respectfully to the side, holding neatly arranged documents in his hands.

Liu Zhixian's phone rang, and when she saw the caller ID, a charming smile unconsciously curved her lips.

She gestured for Wei Zong to wait a moment, then answered the phone.

"Zhixian, it's me." Ye Heng's voice came from the other end of the phone.

The office was very quiet, with only the sound of Liu Zhixian and Ye Heng chatting.

Wei Zong stood by with his head bowed, but his heart was shaken.

He could tell that Lady Liu Zhixian's tone was completely different from her usual dignified and distant manner, carrying an unusual intimacy and coquettishness. The only person in the entire world who could elicit such an expression from her was probably the enigmatic "Mr. Ye."

Wei Zong's heart raced. He had the honor of meeting that official a few years ago. Although the official was very young, that official had made great contributions to Lord Liu's success today!

His true strength is unfathomable.

He secretly guessed that the person on the other end of the phone was most likely that person.

The conversation between Liu Zhixian and Ye Heng ended quickly.

After hanging up the phone, Liu Zhixian looked up at Wei Zong, who was trying to remain calm, and resumed her usual cool tone, but the content made Wei Zong tense up instantly: "Master Wei, you heard it too. As for the Su Group's 500 million municipal project, you know what to do on Tianhai's side."

Without hesitation, Wei Zong immediately bowed and replied, "Please rest assured, Lord Liu. Please also convey to Mr. Ye that Wei Zong understands! Tianhai Group will definitely choose to cooperate with the Su family to ensure everything goes smoothly."

He already understood that this was not only a business decision, but also the will of that "Mr. Ye".

Being able to work directly for that person is an opportunity, but more importantly, it is a mission that must be completed successfully.

"Hmm." Liu Zhixian nodded slightly, satisfied with Wei Zong's tact.

Just then, there was a knock on the office door, and Wei Ning, slightly out of breath, pushed it open and came in. He had received an urgent summons from his father, saying that Lord Liu was coming, and he had rushed over without a moment's delay.

"Father, Father, Lord Liu... Lord Liu!" Wei Ning entered the room, first gesturing to Wei Zong, then his gaze fell on Liu Zhixian on the sofa.

Liu Zhixian was dressed in a well-tailored cheongsam that accentuated her stunning curves. Her beautiful face possessed a unique charm that blended languor and majesty, making her both naturally alluring and breathtaking.

Wei Ning had seen many beautiful women in his daily life, but he had never seen such a perfect combination of stunning beauty and the aura of a superior. He was stunned and stood there, forgetting to say his greeting.

Seeing this, Wei Zong inwardly cried out in alarm, fearing that his son's outburst would offend Liu Zhixian. He quickly reminded him, his tone urgent: "Ning'er, what are you standing there for! Hurry up and greet Lord Liu!"

Wei Ning was startled awake by his father's voice, and immediately realized what was happening, breaking out in a cold sweat.

He quickly lowered his head, not daring to look again, and bowed respectfully: "Greetings...Greetings, Lord Liu! This junior, Wei Ning, was rude just now, please forgive me, Lord Liu!"

Liu Zhixian took in Wei Ning's earlier loss of composure, a faint, almost indifferent look flashing across his eyes.

She had seen far too many scions of noble families who were stunned by her beauty.

She merely nodded very slightly in Wei Ning's direction out of politeness, without giving a single word of response.

Then, she stood up gracefully and said to Wei Zong, "Do things as we just discussed. I have other matters to attend to, so I'll be leaving now."

"Yes, yes, yes, respectfully seeing off Lord Liu!" Wei Zong hurriedly bowed and personally escorted Liu Zhixian to the office door.

Only after Liu Zhixian's figure disappeared at the end of the corridor did Wei Zong straighten up and let out a long sigh of relief.

He turned to his son, Wei Ning, who was still shaken, and admonished him sternly, "From now on, you must never again show the slightest disrespect in front of Lord Liu! Do you understand?"

Wei Ning nodded hurriedly, his back already soaked with cold sweat, but the image of that stunningly beautiful face and that suffocatingly powerful aura still lingered in his mind.

Wei Zong looked at his son's dazed expression but didn't care.

At this moment, he was more concerned with carrying out the task assigned by Lord Liu. He sat back in his office chair, pondered for a moment, and instructed Wei Ning, "Haven't you always wanted to take over my position? Start with this. As long as you do what Lord Liu has arranged well, you can take my place!"

Wei Ning was taken aback, then overjoyed, as if he could already see himself sitting in the chairman's office.

He quickly replied, "Yes, Father, I will definitely do it perfectly!"
