Chapter 280
After the inauguration ceremony of the First Chief, Yan Lan and Qin's relationship became much more harmonious.
Qin Shi didn't mention his relationship with Bai Xiaoyu again afterward, so Yan Lan didn't ask any further questions.
That day, Yan Lan sat at her desk as usual, having just finished processing a document. She gently rubbed her temples.
Since becoming the general manager of the Qin Group, Yan Lan's life has become increasingly hectic.
Madam Qin was worried that Shen Yunzhong's body couldn't handle the pregnancy, so she often told him to reduce her workload appropriately.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Shen Yunzhong suggested that Yan Lan temporarily focus on the X Research Institute project, which involves cooperation between the X Research Institute, the Qin Group, and the Oriental Hospital, and is of great importance to the entire group.
Yan Lan and Liu Jinnian were jointly in charge, and the two inevitably came into frequent contact.
Fortunately, Liu Jinnian always adhered to the principle of handling business strictly by the company, which made Yan Lan's life much easier.
Just as Yan Lan stood up, the office door was suddenly pushed open with a creak.
A familiar figure strode in; it was Yan Xue.
She wore a pink dress, her makeup was exquisite, her eyebrows were slightly raised, and her eyes revealed a hint of arrogance.
She looked around the office, a hint of jealousy flashing in her eyes.
This office used to belong to Qin Shi. It has an excellent view, with floor-to-ceiling windows on all four sides. Sunlight shines on the luxurious carpet, making it look exceptionally grand.
Yan Lan frowned slightly, glanced outside the office, and was about to order someone to kick Yan Xue out.
Yan Xue spoke first, her tone laced with sarcasm.
"Yan Lan, you didn't expect this, did you? We'll actually meet here one day."
She deliberately dragged out her words, a disdainful smile playing on her lips.
Yan Lan looked at her coldly, her tone indifferent.
"Yan Xue, this is my office. What are you doing here? If you're looking for Assistant Liu, just contact him directly. I'm very busy and don't have time to entertain you."
Yan Xue, however, didn't seem to care. She deliberately paced around the office a few times, her eyes sweeping over Yan Lan's desk, her smile widening.
"Tsk tsk, this office used to belong to Qin Shi. You're really lucky to have gotten this position so quickly."
However, whether your luck can last is another matter.
She paused deliberately, seemingly enjoying Yan Lan's confusion.
Yan Lan frowned, wondering what Yan Xue was up to.
Yan Xue seemed to sense her confusion, and deliberately lowered her voice, her tone tinged with schadenfreude, "You were just looking for Qin Shi, weren't you?"
I just saw him answer the phone; it looked like Bai Xiaoyu was calling.
She glanced at Yan Lan deliberately, her smile growing even wider.
Bai Xiaoyu?
Yan Xue seemed to see through her confusion, and her smile became even more pronounced. Yan Lan was really stupid; she didn't know, did she? Bai Xiaoyu and Qin Shi had already slept together, and Bai Xiaoyu had just taken an early pregnancy test that morning; she was actually pregnant.
Yan Xue's eyes held an even stronger sense of schadenfreude.
Bai Xiaoyu is pregnant with Qin Shi's child, which puts Yan Lan and her unborn child in a precarious position.
Yan Xue's lips curled up slightly, and a sly glint flashed in her eyes.
She secretly decided that this news shouldn't be known to too many people yet.
She had already reached an understanding with Bai Xiaoyu, asking Bai Xiaoyu to keep a low profile during her pregnancy and minimize going out to avoid attracting unnecessary attention.
She will reveal the news to the public when Bai Xiaoyu's belly gets bigger and the child can no longer be easily aborted.
With her child's support, Bai Xiaoyu's status will naturally rise.
Yan Xue secretly felt smug. She knew Madam Qin's personality well; once Bai Xiaoyu became pregnant with Qin Shi's child, no matter how much Madam Qin disliked Bai Xiaoyu, she wouldn't dare to easily harm her.
After all, the Qin family bloodline is the most important thing, and Madam Qin would not risk forcing Bai Xiaoyu to have a miscarriage.
"Don't worry, I'm not here to see Brother Jin Nian today. I'm here to discuss business with you."
She deliberately emphasized the word "official business," as if hinting at something.
Yan Lan sneered, sitting back in her office chair, her hands clasped on the desk, her tone indifferent.
"Yan Xue, if you have official business to discuss, then just say so. If not, please leave my office."
Yan Xue walked unhurriedly to her desk, picked up a document, and casually flipped through it, but her eyes kept glancing at Yan Lan.
She tapped her fingers lightly on the table, her tone deliberately casual: "You know, I work for the government now."
The X Institute's project is very important to our country, and Dr. X is a key talent we need to recruit. Therefore, the top leader has specially dispatched a government guidance team, and I am the deputy head of the team, assisting in guiding your work.
Yan Lan raised her eyebrows slightly, secretly surprised, as she had never heard of this matter before.
