Cannon-Fodder Heiress Turns the Tables by Fortune-Telling

Yun Ran displayed a perfectly professional fake smile, as she didn't believe a word Director Hao was saying to her.

However, she didn't see the need to argue with him. Winning wouldn't earn her any rewards, and losing would make her lose face.

The Little Papermen rushed in the last few minutes of the hour and finally restored the arena to its original state.

Yun Ran gestured with her hand, "I'll leave the inspection and acceptance work to you, Director Hao. As for the fees, I'll transfer them over shortly."

"Lady Yun, you're too kind. I can't make decisions on other matters, but I do have the authority to waive this inspection fee."

Yun Ran quickly interrupted, "No need, after all, I'm the third young lady of the Hai City Yun Family, I'm not short on cash."

However, she thought to herself: Ha! She had managed to negotiate compensation worth a billion through her own skills, and now they think they can make her owe a small favor with such a meager amount of money? In their dreams! Her favors are worth far more than a billion!

Director Hao felt a bit regretful. Regardless of whether Yun Ran had backing or what her future held, he personally saw her potential.

Unfortunately, forming connections with Yun Ran was no easy task.

But he was a person with a broad mindset and wouldn't hold a grudge over such a trivial matter.

With a cheerful smile, he said, "In that case, I'll handle this matter officially."

After getting her phone, Yun Ran transferred fifty million and left with the ginsengfruit.

Xin Fu quickly followed, firmly positioning himself as a little follower.

Upon returning to the small courtyard, Yun Ran took a nap. The Little Papermen's abilities weren't conjured out of nothing, and much of their power came from her. Restoring such a large arena had left her quite exhausted.

Only, when she woke up, she found her surroundings cold and empty.

As the Leader, even if others weren't pleased, they would still honor her with some congratulatory gifts.

Not to mention, there were still quite a few colleagues from the Special Administration Bureau on the island, people who she faced every day.

The current situation was evidently out of the ordinary.

The ginsengfruit sat in the courtyard pouting, surrounded by heaps of walnut shells, and approaching, she could hear the constant cracking sounds.

"What happened?"

Ginsengfruit immediately put down the walnuts and turned to look at her.

It began complaining immediately: "Host, while you were sleeping, quite a few people came to deliver gifts.

But who would have thought, at that very moment, they received notification that Xie Xuzhi's deputy director position had been revoked.

Over at headquarters, someone immediately jumped out to list Xie Xuzhi's ten major offenses, and his confidants and previously promoted individuals were either demoted or transferred.

The most infuriating thing is, they claimed that your entrance procedures into the Special Administration Bureau were problematic, and now they want to set things right by directly expelling you!"

Yun Ran: ...

Goodness, she woke up to find her job gone!

Although she knew Xie Xuzhi had left the door open for the other side to play tricks, those people targeting her immediately was clearly personal revenge.

"So, seeing my backer fall and me getting fired, those who brought gifts took their things back?"

Ginsengfruit nodded begrudgingly, not that it cared much for those items.

Still, the behavior from those at headquarters was a blatant warning to everyone that even though Yun Ran had become the Leader, she could still be sidelined.

Yun Ran had foreseen this, so she wasn't too affected. She picked up a walnut kernel and tossed it into her mouth.

"And then? What else did they do?"

Seeing her Host showing no signs of anger, ginsengfruit felt almost deflated.

"Host, aren't you angry?"

"Why should I be angry? I never took pride in entering the Special Administration Bureau. It's just a job, nothing more."

Ginsengfruit, initially quite upset, paused after hearing Yun Ran's words, realizing it.

Right, what's the big deal? With his Host's abilities, it should be the Special Administration Bureau begging for her presence.

"That's right, oh, before I forget, some staff said, Host, that you're no longer part of the Special Administration Bureau. Plus, your privileges exceeded your current rank.

We're being asked to move into a suite on the other side's high-rise by tomorrow and pay extra.

If we refuse, they'll have us leave the island immediately. Quite a few have already been driven out."

Yun Ran was truly speechless.

If it weren't for her recently gaining the Leader position, they probably wouldn't have even given her any face.

"These people, once they gain a little power, can't wait to wipe out past opponents and 'lackeys.'"

"What about Daoist Qingmu and his group?"

Except for those who already disliked her, other Special Administration Bureau personnel avoided her due to headquarters' attitude. But surely Daoist Qingmu's group wouldn't do the same?

If even they ignored her due to appearances, then her judgment was truly abysmal.

"Oh, they were dispatched for an urgent mission, whisked away by helicopter without even having time to greet us."

Tsk tsk tsk, their actions made Yun Ran think of a phrase - the arrogance of petty men.

She could already imagine how delighted they must be now.

But once Xie Xuzhi comes around, he'll deal with them fiercely!

"Pack up. We're leaving tomorrow!"

They think they can make extra money off her easily? Dream on. She had zero interest in becoming a victim in their 'scare others by punishing one' strategy.

"Knock, knock, knock."

The sound of knocking came, and ginsengfruit glanced over, saying, "It should be Xin Fu back."

During the earlier commotion, ginsengfruit, though angry, remained composed.

But Xin Fu was different. He was clearly thrown off by such sudden change. Luckily, even so, he never thought of betraying Yun Ran.

But Yun Ran was asleep, ginsengfruit too young, and Daoist Qingmu's team whisked away on a mission...

There was no one to gather information but him.

Ginsengfruit opened the door, and seeing Xin Fu's face as if the sky had fallen, stepped aside to let him in.

Xin Fu was still thinking of how to phrase things delicately when he saw Yun Ran leisurely lying on a reclining chair, tossing walnut kernels and catching them with her mouth.

"Lady Yun..."

Despite trying to stay composed, Xin Fu couldn't control the dismayed expression on his face.

Seeing his expression, Yun Ran burst into laughter: "I didn't know you could make faces like that, too!"
