C11 Lin Yuan Who Shocked Everyone!

Bai Shuang couldn't stand it any longer. She strode over, shut the door, and with a gentle nudge, sent Xu Youcai on his way.

"I know you're eager to prove yourself, but you've got to know your limits," she said, exhaling a weary sigh.

"I've given you the opportunity to showcase your abilities. Why insist on this approach? If you'd just complete the task under Xu Youcai's supervision, you'd gain valuable experience. With the commission, you could even start your own venture.

"This way, if we divorce, it will be fair to the time we've spent together, even if our marriage is in name only."

Her voice was icy, her gaze detached.

Yet, Lin Yuan cracked a joyful smile, realizing his wife's tough exterior belied a warm heart—she still cared deeply for him.

"You find this amusing? Your rashness, your inability to handle criticism—it's led you to make absurd statements. Now, think about how to fix this mess, or it'll only end in greater embarrassment and disdain from others."

"The more you try to show off like this, the less I respect you. A man should be measured by his actions, not his words. I thought I saw potential in you at the restaurant, a chance for you to shine. But now, I see nothing but incompetence."

With those words, Bai Shuang, looking drained, pointed towards the door.

"Leave. I'll find someone else to meet with our partners."

Lin Yuan stood calmly, his expression neutral, and gazed steadily at Bai Shuang before speaking softly.

"Is this really how you see me?"

Suddenly, Bai Shuang found herself unable to meet Lin Yuan's piercing gaze, as if her earlier words had been a mistake.

"Get out."

"In time, you'll come to understand me better," Lin Yuan said, offering no further explanation.

Xu Youcai exited Bai Shuang's office, bypassing the Sales Department, and headed straight for the company's entrance.

As the head of the Sales Department, he wasn't required to stay put in the office. His significant autonomy meant he was quite pleased to see the 'useless' Lin Yuan on the verge of being ousted. Celebrating the prospect, he decided to step out for a drink.

The security guard at the entrance noticed Xu Youcai's cheerful disposition and approached with a deferential bow, eager to ingratiate himself.

"Director Xu, what's put you in such high spirits?"

"That fool of a husband Bai Shuang has is claiming he'll convince Dihao Hotel to sign a multi-million yuan deal for just a fraction of that. Can you believe it? He's delusional, thinking a single phone call will have the hotel's head honcho rushing over. The man's a complete moron."

Xu Youcai burst into hearty laughter, and the security guard joined in, scoffing between chuckles.

"Lin Yuan is a total waste. If he had that kind of pull, I'd hang myself right here at the entrance."

Pleased, Xu Youcai gave the guard a hearty pat on the shoulder.

Good job. He'd make a point to transfer him to the Sales Department soon.

Just then, a thunderous roar of an engine echoed from outside. A sleek black sedan glided to a stop at the entrance. The car was understated yet exuded significance. The guards didn't recognize it, but Xu Youcai knew it was a limited-edition model available only to those of a certain stature—money alone couldn't guarantee ownership.

A vehicle befitting a VIP.

Out stepped a woman so stunning that one glance made it impossible to look away. Dressed in a black gown, her tall figure and commanding presence were like a black lotus in full bloom, too intimidating to gaze upon directly.

Xu Youcai gasped. This was none other than Ye Qingqiu, the head of Dihao Hotel.

Dihao Hotel, a prestigious global chain, had just one establishment per region, each led by a figure of considerable influence, someone who could rub shoulders with the chairmen of major conglomerates.

And among them, Ye Qingqiu stood out—not just for being a woman, but for her extraordinary beauty. Rumor had it, she was barely in her twenties.

A woman so young and beautiful, holding such a position, surely had a powerful backing. Who would dare cross her?

What could have brought Ye Qingqiu here so unexpectedly?

Xu Youcai quickly pinched his thigh to snap out of his daze, plastering an obsequious smile across his face.

"Ms. Ye, what brings you here? How may I assist you?"

Ye Qingqiu glanced at Xu Youcai before speaking slowly.

"I'm looking for Lin Yuan."

"What?! Whom did you say you're looking for?"

Xu Youcai's mind seemed to freeze. It took a while before he regained his composure, his voice tinged with disbelief, "How can this be possible?"

"I'm here to see Lin Yuan. Isn't he here?"

Impatience flickered in Ye Qingqiu's eyes, her eagerness palpable, her gaze alight with fervor.

She had never imagined that she would one day meet the legendary War God in person.

As the head of Dihao Hotel, her greatest idol and the object of her admiration was the man who established the War God Shrine.

Many sought after Ye Qingqiu for her excellence, yet she spared them no glance, believing no man could hold a candle to Lin Yuan.

It must have been love at first sight when she laid eyes on Lin Yuan.

Upon receiving a call today that the man on the other end was the War God himself, Ye Qingqiu dropped all her tasks, meticulously prepared, and came to meet him in her most impeccable state.

Yet here she was, halted at the entrance, and to make matters worse, the man before her seemed utterly clueless, barely grasping her words.

Xu Youcai couldn't believe it, but the sight of Ye Qingqiu's unmistakable impatience sent shivers down his spine. He quickly turned and ushered her inside, his face ashen.

He had just realized the honorifics used in her sentence.

A man who commanded such respect from Ye Qingqiu couldn't possibly be a nobody. What grave error had he made?

The company was abuzz with the news spreading like wildfire. Ye Qingqiu, the head of Dihao Hotel, had personally come just for a glimpse of Lin Yuan, all because of a single phone call.

Even Bai Shuang was taken aback by the news. How could Lin Yuan wield such clout?

Ye Qingqiu was no ordinary figure; most people couldn't even approach her. Yet Lin Yuan, with just a phone call, had her making a personal visit. Such influence was far beyond that of any ordinary individual.

At first, she had dismissed him as a total loser, but unexpectedly, he kept astonishing everyone with his actions. This man had begun to shroud himself in mystery.

"Dad, just what kind of man did you pick out to be my husband?"

Bai Shuang wore a complex expression, her delicate fists clenched tightly. Despite this, her resolve remained firm—she was determined to get a divorce.

There was no love between them; their marriage was nothing more than a hindrance to both parties.

The whole company was abuzz with speculation. Everyone was trying to figure out the exact nature of the relationship between Lin Yuan and Ye Qingqiu.

Standing at the threshold of Lin Yuan's office, Ye Qingqiu cautiously pushed the door open and stepped inside, while the onlookers kept their distance, watching from afar.
