A world where love reigns supreme? This is truly chaotic!

"Good luck, President..." Shan Yimo's breathy voice came through as she gazed calmly at the doorway.

In the past, she would have been hesitant and unsure of what to do, but ever since she exchanged information with Wei Zecheng and confirmed the president's camp, she has completely started to support the president wholeheartedly as long as he is willing.

Shan Yimo stood there for another half minute. As the noise outside gradually grew louder, she gently shook her head, dismissed her complicated thoughts, and quickly walked out of the bedroom.

……

"Wow, that's amazing! They caught so many people in such a short time." Guangchang couldn't help but exclaim in admiration. He really suspected that Yan Xingmeng was also using cheat codes. She was so innocent and perceptive that she could tell where everyone was hiding just by glancing into the room. She found most of them in less than ten minutes, except for the quirky and clever Nuanxin, who was caught a little later.

By this time, everyone had returned to the entrance. Yan Xingmeng's excellent searching ability drew praise from the group, and Guangchang Chen couldn't help but admire her.

"It's not that amazing, it's just that I can notice some subtle changes because I'm at home."

Thinking about it that way, it makes sense. Since there are usually fewer people here, even the slightest change in the arrangement of items can be noticed.

Despite her outstanding performance, Jiang Xintong deserves congratulations for her ultimate victory, as per the rules.

“You won this time, Xintong.” Yan Xingmeng smiled and stepped forward, meeting Jiang Xintong’s gaze. But Jiang Xintong seemed distracted and responded softly.

"How exactly was the president discovered? I heard it was discovered only halfway through the day, is that true?" Xiao Yuran adjusted her glasses and asked curiously, still wrapped in a blanket, as it was a bit chilly at the doorway.

"Well, that's a secret," Yan Xingmeng said playfully, her right index finger pressed against her lips.

Today is her birthday party, so let her say and do whatever she wants. It's probably destined to be a secret, and only the two of them know what happened.

Jiang Xintong held her hands up, still looking awkward. As the "voyeur," her position made it somewhat embarrassing to mock even after winning. In previous years, after losing twice in a row, she would have definitely vented her frustration after winning this time, but this year...

Ugh! Why did I have to see this scene?!

“Miss Jiang has grown up too,” Xiao Yuran said gently.

“No, Xintong has always been a soft-hearted girl.” As she spoke, Yan Xingmeng stepped forward and put her arm around Jiang Xintong’s arm, then said, “Let’s take a group photo first, and then everyone can take a group photo.”

"Okay, I'll go find the camera."

The group was still having a great time after the game ended, which is why they said it was just a simple little game at the birthday party, mainly for playing with friends, nothing more.

On the other side, Guangchang also found Sun Weizecheng sitting blankly on a bench by the wall. As the "guide" who led him into Yan Xingmeng's bedroom, he seemed to be in a bad mood.

Sitting beside him, he raised his hand and patted his shoulder. Sun Weizecheng slowly turned his head, his lips tightly pursed. Ah! Guangchang recognized this face. Wasn't this Elena? Her eyes were wide open.

However, this shows that Lao Sun didn't choose to eavesdrop outside the bedroom. Did he not know the situation either? Impossible. Lezi would definitely follow him all the time. That means... Lao Sun deliberately created time for himself to be alone with the chairman, and then he chose to leave on his own initiative.

Before the person who brings joy, there is the dignity that comes from friends.

Hmm... that's why he's showing such deep regret now. If he knew that Yan Xingmeng had said those things, he'd probably be kicking himself.

"It's alright, Lao Sun, go home and take a hot shower." Guangchang patted him on the shoulder again.

Sun Weize's eyes were empty as he whispered, "Tell me secretly what happened between you two in the room..."

"Well, it's really not convenient to say. Ask the president, or... wait a few more days, and you'll know in a few days."

"Could it be that there's some big news..."

As Guangchang finished speaking with a smile, Sun Weizecheng leaned back and slumped motionless on the back of the bench.

Seeing this, Guangchang reached out and checked his breathing.

Yes, it's definitely hopeless.

P.S.: The bounty and giveaway end at midnight tonight. Please vote again! Thanks!

108. How should I face you?

……

"Whoosh, I got it! Thank you, boss." Chen Nuanxin smiled sweetly, effortlessly receiving an extra four thousand yuan bonus, which was equivalent to several months' worth of food expenses. Following the boss really seemed like a promising career path!

Ever since Jiang Xintong reconciled with the word "money," she has become much more generous when it comes to money. Who said they hated arrogant people! Stand up! At this moment, Guang Chen and Chen Nuanxin gradually understood why so many people knew they were following a bad boss, yet they still worked so hard for him. Money was not a problem at all.

"You did a good job too, right? I've transferred the money to you." Jiang Xintong glanced at Guang Yunchen, who also had a harmonious smile on his face, her right eyebrow twitched, and she immediately looked away.

"Thank you, boss. The boss is very generous."

Jiang Xintong felt that cash was too low-class, and WeChat transfers were also too low-class, so she directly asked someone to transfer money to her bank card in advance. The way she made the payment felt more like the attitude a boss should have. After the previous two failures, she finally won at the birthday party this time, but although she won, she didn't feel any excitement about winning.

Is it because the first two games were face-to-face, with each side undergoing an elimination process, that they felt more intense? While hide-and-seek felt more uneventful?

Or……

The scene from last night in Yan Xingmeng's bedroom suddenly flashed through Jiang Xintong's mind again, hmm...

You should have said so earlier if that's what kind of relationship you have.

I knew you'd gotten this far, and I would never have brought Guangchang into my team in the first place. What have I been doing all this time...?

Jiang Xintong said that Yan Xingmeng was a competitor, but deep down she still regarded her as one of the few friends she cared about. But now that she knew the truth, Jiang Xintong felt that she had done something rather excessive.

Should I apologize to Yan Xingmeng...?

Jiang Xintong had this thought subconsciously, but then she thought about it again and felt that it was wrong. Her position did not allow her to apologize. If she really apologized, it would be as if she had really stolen Guangchang away. She was just a poor person!

She glanced at Guang Yuchen, and was greeted with that same warm, gentle smile as always.

See? He's still a complete money-grubber.

Jiang Xintong sighed softly, turning her attention to Nuanxin beside her. She twirled the pen in her hand, pointing the end at Nuanxin, and said, "I've always been fair. When the hiding place was finally revealed, you were the only one who hid the longest, making Yan Xingmeng spend a lot of time on you. I really didn't expect that someone could climb onto the chandelier..."

"Hehehe, there just happens to be such a route." Chen Nuanxin chuckled and raised her right index finger, saying, "From the display cabinet to the wardrobe, then carefully climb up the crystal chandelier, and sit inside. It looks like it can support a lot of weight."

Just hearing about it is dangerous. Jiang Xintong gave her a thumbs up, saying that children should not imitate this.

And so the birthday party officially came to an end. Jiang Xintong's birthday is in the first half of the year, so there's still a long time to go.

"Hmph... Be careful next time, okay?"

"Got it, boss." Chen Nuanxin grinned, but upon closer observation, she noticed that the boss didn't seem very happy. Shouldn't this be the time when the boss is happiest, even to the point of being carried away? Chen Nuanxin was hoping to get a free meal tonight, but it seemed that the atmosphere made it inconvenient to bring it up.

Chen Nuanxin nudged the arm of the boss next to her, and Guang Guangchen also turned his gaze. After Chen Nuanxin pointed, he understood. In fact, he had noticed it a long time ago. Last night, when he saw Jiang Xintong off to her car after the birthday party, Guang Guangchen noticed that Jiang Xintong did not seem very happy. He still didn't quite understand it.

Could it be that Jiang Xintong cares more about the gaming experience than the result? Is she a player who prioritizes the experience? Hmm... I'll write this down; I might need it to please Jiang Xintong in the future.

Guang Chen and Chen Nuanxin exchanged a glance, then stepped forward one on each side, which brought Jiang Xintong, who was resting her face on her hand and in a daze, back to her senses.

"What?"

"My lord, why are you so melancholy?"

"I don't have any."

“We’ve already won, but the reaction is so weak. If this is the only level of emotional value we can get, then it’s too hot for Nuanxin and me to accept this money.”

Upon hearing this, Chen Nuanxin immediately shook her head vigorously, as if it were a rattle-drum, in silent denial.

See? A kind heart is far more greedy than a selfish person!

Jiang Xintong glanced over out of the corner of her eye, paused for a few seconds, and then said, "It's probably because Yan Xingmeng is going away for a few days and feels like she has no rivals, so she's listless. Oh, by the way, I'll give you all a long vacation these few days so you can rest well. You don't need to come here for now."

"Huh?" Guangchang Chen and Chen Nuanxin were both stunned.

"I say what I mean, what are you surprised about! I've been quite tired lately, and I need to rest. You two, don't bother me, understand?" Jiang Xintong's tone was still somewhat annoyed.

This……

The enemy forces are resting, so does that mean our side gets a holiday too? Is this what they call a balance between work and rest...?

"Hmm... okay, let's talk about it when the president comes back."

"..."

Jiang Xintong did not give a direct answer to this question.

After witnessing that scene, she had to reconsider the purpose of the team's existence.

Ha... what have I been doing all this time...?

Guang Chen stood beside Jiang Xintong. Although Jiang Xintong's expression was very calm and her gaze was always turned to look out the window, he still noticed something different. First, there was her statement that she was in a bad mood because the president was temporarily away and she felt a little listless. However, she was already unhappy at the birthday party last night, so this was obviously just an excuse.

Secondly, Guang Chen also noticed that Jiang Xintong's affection for him was steadily declining...

It dropped from 39 points to 35 points. No, to be precise, it fluctuated, but the downward fluctuation was more drastic.

Does the young lady have some kind of grudge against me? Oh? Am I going to be fired again?

No!

Guangchang was completely baffled. Why was the young lady unhappy? And why had her affection for him decreased? Ah, a woman's heart is like a needle at the bottom of the sea—that's absolutely true! System! How could you be so useless! You only showed the affection level and made me guess!

Is this what they mean by giving you a vacation first, then realizing they don't need you anymore, so they let you go? Ah... Guangchang's health is almost completely depleted.

This was undoubtedly the first time Jiang Xintong's team had been so silent. The president was gone for just one day, and this was the first time. It seems that the president is indeed very important. This was Chen Nuanxin's judgment. Before the lunch break was even halfway over, Jiang Xintong told the two of them to go back first. Chen Nuanxin and Guangchang knew the young lady's temper very well, so they could only nod and agree, and left the classroom first.

In the empty classroom, Jiang Xintong, who had been watching the two leave, finally couldn't hold back any longer. She let out a long sigh, arched her back slightly, and then leaned her upper body on the desk, staring calmly at the wall without making a sound.

How should I face Yan Xingmeng in the future, and how should I face...?

……

"President, everything is packed and we're ready to leave at any time."

"Okay, thank you for coming with me, Yuran," Yan Xingmeng said with a smile.

"No, it's my honor to be able to do things for you, President." Xiao Yuran shivered after saying that, then wrapped herself up tighter. As the number one fan, being able to go out with her idol for three days was simply a dream come true.

"It's a bit cold outside, why don't you change into my down jacket? It'll keep you warm."

"Is that alright? Thank you, Chairman."

Yan Xingmeng smiled, stepped forward, and helped her wrap the scarf around her again, saying, "Do we have to keep being so polite? It seems a bit too distant. The most important thing is not to catch a cold."

"Yes! President."

Yan Xingmeng looked at the red and white checkered scarf around Xiao Yuran's neck, and for some reason, she suddenly remembered the scarf that Guang Chen often wore around his neck, which she remembered was a gift that Xin Tong had specially given to him.

"What's wrong, President?"

"No, let's get going then."

Xiao Yuran nodded. After being surrounded by the president again, she felt much warmer. Since it was only a three-day trip, she didn't bring much luggage. The main purpose of this trip was to visit her father's old comrades-in-arms. Her father would also be going. It was a two- or three-hour journey, and they could arrive in the afternoon. They would stay there for about two days before returning.

“I heard there are many fun attractions there. We could take your father’s old comrade’s daughter with us. That would be a good option.”

"Haha, I'm afraid that won't work. She's old enough to be our mother."

"right……"

“But he has a grandson, so we can go out together. After my dad finishes catching up with old friends, we can go out when we have some free time.”

"Okay." Xiao Yuran nodded repeatedly, already imagining the fun she would have with the president over the next three days, but... three days... it really felt a little too short.

Xiao Yuran followed the president out the door, where a car to take her to the airport was already waiting outside.

With bodyguards from both the Yan and Xiao families accompanying her, Xiao Yuran's family background was equally impressive.

Xiao Yuran looked down and searched for local attractions, thinking that she should have a good time this time, maybe...

Xiao Yuran's eyes lit up, and she turned around in surprise, saying, "By the way, President, since we've already set off, why don't we just take a few more days off? Anyway, we've already finished our second-year courses. How about taking a week off? I'll go and notify the school on your behalf."

Three days is too short; a week would be more than enough to get a rough idea of ​​what to do with the area.

"Maybe next time, I have some things to do this time."

"Okay, is it... really that important?"

"Yes, it's something quite important to me," Yan Xingmeng said with a smile, her eyes narrowed.

109. Thinking of him is like being possessed.

If the president says it's important, then it must be important. Besides, if the president wanted to tell her, he would have done so directly. Xiao Yuran wasn't that curious and nodded gently in response.

"What about uncle?"

"I'm on my way back. It's been a long time since we last met."

"Yes, Uncle always seems very busy."

The two waited for a few minutes before a car slowly drove up from a distance. Seeing the familiar license plate, the two girls followed and walked down the steps. Bodyguards followed behind and waited by the car until the back door opened and a man stepped out from the back seat.

Just like when Xiao Yuran saw her more than half a year ago, she was very thin, over 1.8 meters tall, with her hair slicked back, and you could see a lot of gray hair on her face. She wore a pair of reading glasses, and as soon as she appeared, two girls immediately went up to her.

"dad."
