Over ten days have passed in a blink, and Li Yan has experienced a very ordinary and calm ten days. Actually, apart from the disturbances related to Yu Xiaodi, his life is generally peaceful.

Each action targeting Yu Xiaodi might stir up public anger, but there's nothing conclusive to prove anything.

He's not bothered by these issues, as he only cares about Yu Xiaodi in the Yu Family. Knowing she's living safely at home, with Li Jie providing personal protection and Zhou Yunfei vigilant day and night, he's at ease. He hasn't visited the Yu Family in these days, only occasionally sending messages or making a call to Yu Xiaodi.

The gossip about Hai Fu's affair with him, no one knows who started it, but it came easy and left quickly. The administrative department staff are the most concerned, but under Hai Fu's pressure, few dare to continue stirring this up. If she accidentally hears or someone reports to her, it could be disastrous. People from other departments just join the buzz; white-collar girls never lack topics, and soon there's another story circulating.

In these days, Li Yan hasn't separately met with Hai Fu, or to be exact, hasn't met her at all. They don't work on the same floor, Li Yan doesn't need to attend high-level meetings, and their chance encounters are limited to public spaces like the elevator or the lobby.

For him, except for Wen Qianyi starting to show her power, frequently meeting clients requiring his involvement, everything else is satisfactory, only taking charge when producers like Su Qingrui, Qiao Pan, and Chu Yi call, urging them to come up with scripts and detailed plans soon.

Huang Ying's mother has already been taken by the Mortal Charity Foundation. She mentioned a leader named He Zhengyuan, who seems to be the same person Wen Qianyi spoke of as the head of the Mortal Fund.

As for his relationship with Zhang Yurong, it's pretty much the same, without much change.

...

This day after work, emerging from the elevator, Li Yan is surprised to find many people gathered in the lobby, most of them male employees.

Such a commotion; could a famous actress have arrived? Seeing familiar figures like Sun Hui, Xu Ping, and Fan Siwen also there, Li Yan walks over. He quietly pulls Xu Ping and asks, "What are you looking at?"

Xu Ping smiles without answering, Sun Hui already blissfully says, "Nonsense, of course, we are looking at the beauty!"

With so many people surrounding her, and the person inside not standing but sitting, Li Yan only manages to see the situation clearly after squeezing in.

Amidst the crowd, a girl quietly sits on a chair, with a small suitcase beside her. She wears a long dress, has her hands placed on her legs, and seems a bit uneasy in the presence of so many onlookers.

Even with the crowd of post-work onlookers, including ladies trying to approach, they mostly retreat before getting close. A safe distance of more than two meters is maintained around her.

The reason isn't that she's ugly—as no one would stop if she were—but rather, she's not wielding the high-pressure air like Hai Fu, which could keep others at bay; nor does she possess the icy beauty aura like Zhang Yurong, who is unmatched in such regard—she alone suffices to look at. What makes everyone hesitate in proximity is that this girl is too dreamlike!

Indeed, dreamlike!

Paradise Group Headquarters is full of beauties; those capable of working at the headquarters are well-informed individuals. Mere prettiness isn't enough to make so many feel the urge to approach yet dare not. The girl merely sits casually on the chair in a modest long dress, without uttering a word, yet her delicate face, finely defined features, especially her eloquently expressive fairy-like eyes, impart a sensation akin to a girl stepping out of a comic page, combined with a moon-like beautiful, pristine aura…

Thus, not only does everyone find the girl dreamlike, but the space around her seems as if it's a comic realm. It seems as if attempting to talk might make her vanish at any moment. Therefore, everyone just appreciates quietly, whisper discussions, anticipating the dreamlike girl's gaze without daring to speak up.

Even Li Yan, who daily witnesses Wen Qianyi's warm charm and ultimate beauty, dines at home with Zhang Yurong, the company icon and ice beauty, feels a momentary shock seeing the comic girl's dreamlike face.

As his gaze falls upon her, the girl's eyes coincidently scan over and meet his. Instantly, they fix on each other, as the corners of her mouth curl slightly, radiating a mild smile.

A smile in return births a hundred charms, overshadowing all the beauties in the palace.

This legendary bewitching smile has been artistically refined by poets, yet those witnessing this smile involuntarily recall the poem. This girl's smile isn't a hundred charms born, but like the moonlight suddenly becoming radiant, like a fairy revealing her face, making even the white-collar ladies feel inferior in their beauty. Ordinary beauties aren't competitors anymore, and at Paradise Group Headquarters, only Zhang Yurong and Wen Qianyi, mesmerizing otherworldly beauties, can rival her.

"Oh no, she's looking at me... but I already have a crush on Juanjuan..." Even the typically honest, urban novel-devoted Xu Ping murmurs, losing his composure a bit.

His remark instantly earns disdain from Fan Siwen and Sun Hui by his side!

"Can you be any more shameless? She was clearly looking at me and smiling!"

"Get lost! She was smiling at me!"

The two of them whispered disdainfully, almost ready to push Xu Ping aside if not for the fear of losing their seats.

After making eye contact with her, Li Yan quickly averted his gaze, then took the opportunity to leave while the three were feeling good about themselves.

"Hey, Li Yan!"

Li Yan squeezed through the crowd and walked towards the reception desk, where Chen Xiaoen waved at him in greeting.

"Hi."

"That girl is so beautiful, almost unreal. Why did you stop looking?" Chen Xiaoen asked curiously.

Li Yan laughed at this somewhat naive girl and said, "You're very pretty too. They're just crowding to see her because rarity makes things valuable. You see, you little beauties are seen every day, so they aren't cherished as much."

The other reception girls, envious of the girl over there, instantly joined in the excitement upon hearing Li Yan's words: "Li Yan, why drag us into this? We don't count as beauties!"

Li Yan chuckled quietly, "They have dozens of guys to admire one beauty, but I have several beauties to admire and can easily flatter them."

"Get out of here, you're the one doing the flattering." Everyone laughed, as girls naturally tend to compare their looks, and being noticed made them quite happy despite not matching the girl in numbers.

When Chen Xiaoen chatted with Li Yan, she felt delighted but didn't know what to say when alone with him. With others around, she felt a bit shy. Now, with a few colleagues joining the conversation, it seemed more natural, making her content.

"Hey Li Yan, those guys are just drooling over there, lucky you to have a chance to ask Xiaoen out!"

Hearing this teasing from a colleague, Chen Xiaoen blushed and quickly gathered her things, "I... still have something to do."

"What could you possibly have to do? We'll handle it for you." The colleague smiled mischievously.

Li Yan also laughed but didn't respond. Stealing Chen Xiaoen's first kiss was purely accidental, but he didn't want to lead her on too much, as she was the type of girl suited for finding a stable boyfriend.

Just then, one of the elevators opened, and Zhang Yurong and her assistant Ke Yunyun stepped out. Li Yan immediately chuckled softly, "A good show is about to start! Too bad the 'abbess' didn't come along, otherwise..."

The front desk girls, upon hearing 'abbess', instinctively sat up straight and became serious, not daring to chat further, sneaking a glance over to see Zhang Yurong and Assistant Ke coming, and quickly dispersed, pretending to be busy.

Chen Xiaoen quickly whispered, "You better leave! Otherwise, President Zhang might hold a bad impression of you again."

"Okay." Li Yan agreed, heading for the door.

"What are you all doing here?" Ke Yunyun shouted when she saw a crowd around her. Even though she didn't have the aura of Zhang Yurong or Hai Fu, her sternness underpinned by politeness still made many people turn to look.

Ke Yunyun was like a fox, but with Zhang Yurong, the tiger, beside her, those who turned their heads felt tense.

"Has the reception hall, which represents the company's first impression, become a marketplace?" As Zhang Yurong arrived, the hall quieted down rapidly, the icy atmosphere spreading through everyone's mind and body. Hearing this, a large number of people swiftly retreated.

As the retreating crowd surrounded him, Li Yan couldn't help but chuckle, feeling a bit curious about the appearance of the mysterious girl.
