Ye An Ran had expected it to be that man and said casually: "Get the security department to pay attention to that person. Next time, don't mention it anymore and directly kick him out."

Kai Di seemed to have detected the hidden meaning in her words, as he nodded his head in agreement and walked out of the office.

Ye An Ran knew, how could someone as shameless as Gao Jian just let this matter go? If he did not reach his goal, he might just pester no matter what.

She shook her head mockingly and lowered her head to continue her work.

His cooperation with the World Illuminating Lord allowed the Yeats to save some time, and some of the smaller companies also started to be willing to continue their cooperative relationship with him.

Looking at it this way, Ye An Ran felt that he was owed a great favor by this Chi-tong. Ye An Ran pondered on when he should properly thank Yue Yang.

She hurriedly ate the takeout food that Kai Di bought, and after packing everything up, she got up and prepared to go to the place that she had an appointment with the Master Xu.

The driver drove Ye An Ran's white Lamborghini towards their destination. Time was still sufficient. She could take her time and not appear to be in a sorry state.

Sheng Xing Yu called back at this time, her usually deep and magnetic voice carrying the warmth of the afternoon.

"When are you free to come out and eat something?" he asked softly.

The corner of Ye An Ran's mouth curled up unconsciously. She knew that Sheng Xing Yu was just trying to invite her out in a different way so that she could relax a little and not focus too much on his work to make her tired.

"I have a meeting at three o'clock," she said, looking at the time and smiling.

"Then would Miss Ye mind sharing dinner with me?" Sheng Xing Yu was gentle.

There was a hint of a joke in her voice, causing Ye An Ran to laugh uncontrollably.

"Don't be so flippant, I'll contact you after I'm done."

Sheng Xing Yu said as if he was looking at something, "Then I will wait for you at the Elm Coffee Shop in the light and shadow center."

The other party had always been well-disposed towards his taste. The Elm's Coffee Shop mentioned by him was also a restaurant that he loved very much. Thus, he agreed with a smile on his face.

Kai Di who was seated at the side, seemed to be curious to know who she was talking to, his eyes filled with gentleness.

The car arrived at the agreed location at a leisurely pace. There were still more than ten minutes until three o'clock.

It was a restaurant that could only be entered after being booked in advance. It was filled with private rooms of various sizes.

Because of its tasty dishes and excellent sound insulation effect, it is very popular with the general manager of the contract negotiation.

It wasn't Ye An Ran's first time here, but ever since her father had been hospitalized, the burden on her had become heavier, so she had been running more and more.

She brought Kai Di and the waiter to a reserved room, quietly drinking tea and waiting.

Not long after, the door of the private room was opened, and Master Xu in a suit and leather shoes slowly walked in followed by a young female secretary.

Ye An Ran stood up, revealing a polite smile, and extended his hand out to shake Master Xu's hand: "Hello, I am Yeats's acting director, Ye An Ran."

Master Xu sized her up, his eyes filled with unconcealable surprise: "I have long heard that Director Ye is young, beautiful and talented, and only after seeing her did I realize that she is indeed beautiful."

He never expected that Ye An Ran would be so young, he was actually similar to the secretary by his side.

"Master Xu is too kind." Ye An Ran had a calm smile on his face, dignified and amiable at the same time, "It is Yeats's honor to be willing to cooperate with me."

When the Yeats was mentioned, everyone knew very well that it was currently in a precarious situation. Every single opportunity to collaborate could become a sliver of hope to save the company. So she could not give up, and she had to fight for it with all her might.

Yeats took a document from his secretary and placed it on the wood table, "I sincerely wish to cooperate with Yeats. This is a contract that has been drafted, and we can slowly discuss the details."

"That's only natural. I also look forward to working with the Master Xu this time."

The whole negotiation process went smoothly as expected. Master Xu was like what Ye An Ran had heard before he came here, a straightforward and direct person.

The two sides revised the agreement roughly and decided to take it back to the company for revision before discussing it.

Walking out of the store, Ye An Ran returned to the car and said, "For the rest of the trivial regulations, please tidy them up and put them on my table. I still have things to do at the company later, send me to the light and shadows center."

The driver agreed to send Ye An Ran to his destination before leaving.

20 minutes had already passed since their appointment. As Ye An Ran walked towards the Elm Tree Coffee Shop, he took out his phone to call Sheng Xing Yu and ask where he was.

Just as she took out her cell phone, someone appeared out of nowhere and yanked on her Gucci purse.

Ye An Ran was startled, she could not believe it. Although the Elm Tree Coffee Shop was not located in the downtown area, but it was not deserted, why would someone suddenly appear and try to snatch her bag of holding?

"What are you doing? Let go!" she snapped, tugging at her bag ? which still held some papers, and which she could not have been robbed for nothing.

The man did not expect Ye An Ran to be so entangled, and frowned suddenly.

Gritting his teeth in hatred, he pulled out a dagger and fiercely stabbed at her.

As if he had not expected the other party to be so ferocious, by the time Ye An Ran managed to react and dodge, the dagger had already left a bloody scar along his arm, seven to eight centimeters long.

Intense pain immediately swept through his brain, and Ye An Ran abruptly let go of his hand in the next second that he was injured. The man immediately fell backwards due to the inertia.

Resisting the spreading pain in his hand, without any hesitation, Ye An Ran fiercely stepped on the man's foot with the heel of his high heels. Taking advantage of the man's scream, she subconsciously let go and snatched back her bag.

As if they had heard the commotion, the people in the shop all came out to check out what was going on. Sheng Xing Yu, who was waiting for Ye An Ran to arrive, also noticed that something was amiss. He walked out of the shop and was immediately shocked by the scene before him.

Ye An Ran carried his leather bag in his hand, his right hand had a long cut on his arm, drenched in blood that dyed his pure white shirt red.

"An Ran!" He quickly rushed in front of the woman, and carefully examined the injuries on her hand, asking with concern, "What happened?"

The man on the ground saw that the number of people surrounding them increased, so he quickly took advantage of the chaos to escape.

Seeing that the other party was powerless to escape, Ye An Ran said in a somewhat frustrated voice, "He actually made him run away for nothing."

Compared to the bag robber, Sheng Xing Yu was even more distressed about the injuries on her hand right now. Seeing that there seemed to be no injury to her muscles and bones, he calmed down a little, but then suggested: "Let's go to the hospital."

At this time, Ye An Ran finally reacted from his previous nervousness. Feeling the waves of pain on his arm, he was shocked to realize that his injuries were not light.

Unable to refuse Sheng Xing Yu's insistence, he gave up on the delicious dinner and got on a horse carriage to the hospital to treat his wounds.
