Cannon-Fodder Heiress Turns the Tables by Fortune-Telling

Xie Xuzhi, although lying on the hospital bed, still had a sharp look in his eyes that made Gu Yuan's heart tremble.

The computer also transmitted his voice: "It seems you need a beating every three days to fix your behavior!"

Gu Yuan paused, he did it on purpose, taking advantage of the boss being unable to throw things at him, to fight for resources for Yun Ran.

These people, when have they ever lacked money?

But Yun Ran, who had been through life and death several times before, could not even come up with a mere ten billion and had to bear the responsibility for compensation. Gu Yuan felt aggrieved on her behalf.

"Boss, it's disheartening to hear you say that, if it were me who damaged the arena, do you think Director Hao would come to me for compensation?"

At most, he would come to complain about how tough it is for the logistics people and just ask him to sign a document for the damage reconstruction application.

Soon, the boss will officially become the rightful leader, and he must secure some special benefits for Yun Ran.

For example, having the authority to sign for a limited reimbursement.

"There's no need for you hopping around here, Yun Ran, I have my own plans!"

Any change in leadership, with Gu Yuan's current actions, would surely bring apprehension and might even lead them to think that he and Yun Ran are colluding.

Xie Xuzhi's gaze, once again coldly turned to Gu Yuan: "Go focus on what I told you to monitor, meddle less in Yun Ran's matters!"

Gu Yuan chuckled, feeling that he indeed had a bit of a masochistic temperament.

Being scolded by the boss, instead made him feel more settled and confirmed that his stepsister, from different mothers, would have a bright future from now on.

"Boss, rest assured, when have I ever messed up the tasks you've given me?"

Thinking that he was about to earn quite a bit from the Leader's gambling, Gu Yuan felt secretly thrilled, already planning how to share the proceeds with Yun Ran.

He naturally missed the speechless look that Xie Xuzhi had at that moment.

Clearly, in the past, in Gu Yuan's eyes, he had always been a generous and wise leader.

But now, Gu Yuan subconsciously felt that he was a stingy capitalist, worried that he was treating Yun Ran unfairly.

If not for knowing that Gu Yuan would trade his life for his without hesitation in danger, he would now want to crack open his head to see for himself.

He, Xie Xuzhi, the eldest son of the Xie Family, the covert ruler, how could he possibly be a miser!

"Hurry up and leave, I don't want to see you right now!"

Gu Yuan chuckled twice, then exited the hospital room, ready to deal with those naive folks who had taken the bait and were eager to move.

The room once again had only Xie Xuzhi.

He looked at the screen, the half-built arena, and Director Hao following behind Yun Ran, eyes shining.

No need to guess, he knew that Director Hao had his sights set on Little Paperman.

Naturally, he also thought of Yun Ran's Little Paperman; one of them had become an official 'Divine Catcher'.

And those left in the Northwest helping Doctor Yu work, as well as now standing by his side.

Sadly, he was now unable to contact Yun Ran, only left to find an intermediary.

Xie Xuzhi's gaze darkened, looking again toward the hospital room where the Little Paperman had resumed its normal appearance.

"Please tell Yun Ran, she doesn't need to give face to anyone!"

That tone and appearance, as if even he despised himself.

The Little Paperman slowly raised its head, its cartoon eyes clearly hesitant.

The master is angry and not very fond of Director Xie.

But it had been assigned by the master to protect him, and in anger, he had not yet recalled it.

After thinking, it still nodded, its soft, cute voice immediately ringing out: "Okay, Director Xie~"

Yun Ran watched the Little Papermen efficiently working, and in her mind, the voice of the dispatched Little Paperman came through.

Even the words exchanged between Gu Yuan and Xie Xuzhi were all passed on.

After speaking, the Little Paperman eagerly waited for Yun Ran's new commands.

Yun Ran still did not want to deal with Xie Xuzhi and them: "You continue to stay there, when I arrive at the Capital City, I will recall you!"

[Okay, Master.]

Xie Xuzhi's reminder, actually wasn't necessary; Yun Ran was not some naive sweet girl, naturally sensing what Director Hao's eagerness was about.

However, she did get to know some 'inside information'.

This was clearly intentional by Xie Xuzhi, to let her know he trusted her, thus he trusted her Little Paperman.

Also, to tell her, in his 'fall from power', he might face some targeting and to have her reluctantly cooperate temporarily.

Thinking of this, Yun Ran couldn't help but roll her eyes, these masters of power struggle, all full of schemes.

Anyone slightly dumber would be sold and still help count the money for the other party.

As time slowly passed, an hour was about to end, and the restoration of the arena also neared its final phase.

If not for seeing it firsthand, all present would never believe that someone could restore something that had been destroyed.

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

Before he could finish, Yun Ran interrupted him: "I'm not interested!"

"I haven't even said it yet, how does Lady Yun know she is not interested?"

Yun Ran's eyes clearly wrote 'I'm not stupid' as she looked at Director Hao.

"If it was truly a good opportunity, wouldn't it already be taken by someone from other Mystical Sect aristocratic families?"

Director Hao: ...

While that might be true, it was quite blunt to say it like that.

"This task, indeed only Lady Yun can do, others can't handle it."

Yun Ran still shook her head: "I'm not interested, I'm afraid the pie falling from the sky might kill me.

You never know, at some point, just a few words from some people and my things could be confiscated."

Listening to Yun Ran's pointed words, even Director Hao, as thick-skinned as he was, found himself at a loss for words.

He did want to reassure Yun Ran that if she allowed the Little Paperman to 'work part-time', he would definitely not harbor any bad intentions and would even provide fair compensation.

But he couldn't assure that others had no ulterior motives. Seeing that Director Xie was about to fall, who would be in charge in the future was really hard to say.

Yun Ran was formidable, but oftentimes, an arm couldn't twist a thigh.

So many powerful leaders in the Mystical Sect, they still had to compromise for various reasons and had to give in when necessary.

Director Hao's gaze turned to the Little Paperman; if one day, these Little Papermen were confiscated, it indeed would be a pity.

His tone suddenly filled with regret: "That's truly regrettable."
