Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Even after becoming the President of the Huo Corporation and bringing down Huo Hong, the Huo Corporation was not as “peaceful” as it seemed.

Although everyone was always flattering Huo Yichen, the new President, they had a different face behind his back.

Especially the few people on the board of directors…

Huo Yichen’s eyes deepened as he secretly thought about his future plan.

The few nails that Huo Hong had left behind when he was in power had been “deeply rooted” in the company for a long time. Now that the Corporation was in his hands, it was only a matter of time before they had to be removed.

It was just that some of them were easy to pull out, and some required some effort.

As for him, he had plenty of patience to deal with these people.

Huo Yichen flipped through the doc.u.ments in his hand. Every piece was an investigation of different people. It was so detailed that it even showed their relatives, friends, and recent financial movements, as well as who they were eating with.

His gaze wandered and stopped on a few pieces of paper. After looking at them for a long time, he took one out and placed it on the top.

w.a.n.g Ben, who was 56 years old, was still active on the board of directors. He had always controlled the import and export of goods and had also used this to earn a lot of money in the past few decades.

After he served as the President and removed the other party from his position, w.a.n.g Ben had been targeting Huo Yichen with a grudge.

“Then let’s make an example of him.”

Huo Yichen muttered softly and made a call.

Meanwhile, the live-stream of “Spring Breath Peachfield” was still ongoing, but the time was gradually approaching night.

The guests who had been teachers for the entire day were simply miserable. They also realized that the children called little angels were not so easy to coax at all. They would even cause trouble frequently, making them especially tired.

“As expected, I still don’t like children very much.” Ran Heng changed her clothes with a dark expression.

Her clothes had been dirtied by the children when they were playing. Even if Ran Heng was not a clean freak, she couldn’t stand this.

Du Guoqing was still as optimistic as before. “They’re all at the age of causing trouble. It’s normal.”

Compared to Ran Heng, he was in a sorry state. The white clothes he was wearing had many strokes, and most of them were the children’s “wonderful ideas”.

Du Guoqing didn’t have the airs of a boss. As soon as he stood there happily, the children liked to play with him.

“It’s indeed very vexing for children to be more lively. After feeling it today, I also feel that it’s really not easy to be a Teacher.” Qin Huan joined the conversation and sighed.

As soon as he spoke, it attracted Du Guoqing’s gossip. “Little Qin, aren’t you planning to give birth to one yourself?”

“Why is Boss Du always able to ask about the gossip in my heart?”

“He’s simply my subst.i.tute on the show. Also, let me ask you a secret. Are all the bosses of entertainment companies gossiping about their own artistes like this?”

“It’s clearly Boss Du who doesn’t look the same as the others, but I really empathize with this gossip.”

“Him? It’s just a matter of whether he has a girlfriend or not.” To everyone’s surprise, Xian Yu suddenly interrupted.

Xian Yu stood beside Qin Huan with his arms crossed. After these few days of interaction, he was not as distant as before.

Qin Huan smiled helplessly. “You make it sound like you have one.”

“Why did everyone have to hurt each other? Why did two single people have to do this?”

“So according to Best Actor Qin, Xian Yu doesn’t have a girlfriend yet… Then doesn’t our Ruobai have a chance?!’¹

“Tsk, why is it here again? The two of them are not related at all. Can you stop talking nonsense here?”

“Why do you care who I kowtow to? The freedom to create a couple pairing is open to all!!”

“Bai Yu, Bai Yu! Quickly become real!”

Turning to the main topic, everyone gathered together at night because they still needed to play a small game at night.

“It’s a cla.s.sic game. Everyone should have heard of it. It’s called ‘Of course’.”

The executive director began to introduce.

The process was roughly ten people in two random groups. Then, no matter what one says, the other party has to answer “Of course” at the end. If there was any hesitation, they would be judged to have lost.

“Those who fail have to receive severe punishment.” The executive director waved the lot in his hand.

This time was different from before. The grouping was random.

Everyone drew lots to choose their opponents. Everyone came up and took a random lot.

“Number 1?” Xian Yu asked.

Lu Qizhi hurriedly raised his hand. “It’s me, it’s me!”

“Number three,” Nan Jin said.

“Looks like we’re still in the same group.” Ran Heng pointed at himself.

Chu Ruobai exclaimed in surprise, “I’m Number Four.”

“Looks like we’re in the same group.” Qin Huan nodded and admitted.

All six of them had results.

The only people left were Du Guoqing, Guo Ran, Sannas, and Murong Qiao.

“Mine is number five. Who’s in the same group as me?” Murong Qiao opened the note in her hand and looked around at everyone.

At this moment, the comments slowly floated past the live-stream.

“Why do I have an ominous feeling?”

“Me too, it can’t be what I think…”

“It’s me,” said Guo Ran.

Very dramatically, he raised the lottery result in his hand. There was also the number five written on it like Murong Qiao.

“I seriously suspect that this was a segment deliberately designed by the executive director. How could it be so coincidental that Guo Ran and Moon G.o.ddess would be paired together!!’¹

“However, this scene is also very interesting. The two people who had always disliked each other were arranged to play such a game.”

“Originally, I was already thinking about whether Guo Ran would counterattack later or if Murong Qiao would win.”

“Fight, fight! Enemies against enemies. Bosses, charge!!”

The comments were all “happy to see”. Seeing this result, whether it was Murong Qiao or Guo Ran’s live-stream, the number of people doubled in just a few minutes.

The director looked at the traffic and couldn’t stop smiling. He even explained seriously.

“Our lottery is definitely fair and square. There’s no possibility of cheating.”

In short, Guo Ran and Murong Qiao sat at the same table.

“When will the compet.i.tion begin?” Guo Ran asked the staff beside him.

Hearing his happy tone, he seemed to be impatient to wait for the compet.i.tion to begin.

An invisible smell of gunpowder filled the air. Although Guo Ran was clearly smiling, the staff felt like a world war was about to happen.

“We can start now,” he replied quickly.

Guo Ran smiled, and his gaze returned to Murong Qiao’s face.

He raised the first question. “I poached so many people from your company. Your heart must ache, right?”

He started digging up old scores as soon as he started.

“Of course,” Murong Qiao agreed indifferently.

Her reaction to this quick tongue was ordinary.

But when Guo Ran heard Murong Qiao’s answer, he revealed a happy smile. It was as if she had really admitted that he was stronger and had the upper hand.

“It’s my turn.” Murong Qiao raised her eyebrows. “Boss Guo’s company can be so big. There must be many dirty things going on, right?”

Murong Qiao didn’t intend to show any mercy to people who were hostile to her. Moreover, the other party had poached her artistes first, and she had never settled this score with him.

“Of course.” Guo Ran gritted his teeth.

“F*ck, it’s dirty just like that?”

“It’s so exciting. More. More [dog head]”

“I like to listen to gossip, hehe. [Crunching melon seeds and watching a show]”

Murong Qiao and Guo Ran’s group directly provoked the atmosphere.

“As a female boss, you let your artistes use improper methods to obtain resources, right?” Guo Ran didn’t stand on ceremony..
