From Sidekick to Bigshot

Zhang Xuming thought about his large company. It was so difficult for his company to get a tiny bit of attention from Jian Yiling.

Ahh, Jian Yiling was basically the king in ancient times. She had a “harem” of beauties; however, she only spoiled her “A Sheng.”

“A Sheng is different from your company,” Jian Yiling explained.

“Yes, yes. He’s completely different. After all, he’s handsome, treats you well, and coaxes you from time to time,” Zhang Xuming grumbled.

Ahhh, what did he do in his past life to deserve this? He was already one foot in the coffin but he was still being force-fed dog food [1]by this young couple.

Wei Qirui stormed out of the office building of Xuming Medical Manufacturers.

His negotiations with Xuming Medical Manufacturers had failed. What could he do next?

He couldn’t watch his company’s market value continuously decrease by the day.

As he was seated in his car, Wei Qirui suddenly thought of Qin Chuan.

He was indeed not the person he planned to meet today.

However, he was someone who could help the Wei Group.

He was the heir of the Qin family. In addition to that, he was the CEO of a listed Internet company. His strong background and social standing could allow him to compete against Zhai Yunsheng.

Furthermore, Wei Qirui thought about the gaze in which Qin Chuan looked at Jian Yiling.

Suddenly, a plan appeared in Wei Qirui’s mind. He could get the best out of both worlds.

It was a method that allowed him to gain Qin Chuan’s trust. In addition to this, it would also deal a blow to Zhai Yunsheng.

Wei Qirui quickly contacted his men. He asked his men to go to Xuming Medical Manufacturer’s office building.

At this moment, Jian Yiling left the office building.

When she got into the car, she started going through her emails.

At this moment, her alarm system once again reminded her that she was being followed.

[Danger index 3]

With a danger index of 3, this meant that the person following her was somewhat powerful.

At this moment, the bodyguards escorting Jian Yiling also sensed that something was off.

They were currently exchanging information with someone through the intercom.

Superintendent Ruan called Jian Yiling: “Do you need me to send someone from my side?”

“It shouldn’t be necessary,” Jian Yiling replied. She assumed that the Zhai family’s bodyguards should be able to handle it.

After all, they weren’t ordinary individuals.

Although all her bodyguards were female, their combat power was not inferior to that of the males in the slightest.

After all, they worked under the Second Master of the Zhai family. They were only sent to her side after they passed his examinations and assessments.

“Okay. If you need help, you can call me anytime,” Superintendent Ruan said. He trusted the bodyguards that were escorting Jian Yiling.

After all, if the Zhai family’s bodyguards were ranked second in Beijing, no bodyguards from any family dared to say that they were ranked first.

Of course, it would be a completely different story if they were talking about Jian Yiheng. That man was a nutcase!

“Miss Yiling, our car may need to accelerate. Please fasten your seatbelt,” the female bodyguard seated next to Jian Yiling gently reminded.

Jian Yiling obediently fastened her seatbelt.

Then, the car began to accelerate before abruptly changing lanes.

As the car accelerated, this caused the followers to realize that they had been discovered.

“Miss Yiling, our reinforcements will be here soon. Please do not worry,” the female bodyguard reassured Jian Yiling. Then, she continued to communicate with the others.

“Mhmm.”

After that, Jian Yiling put her laptop away. She checked her emails using a tablet instead.

As the car was going rather fast, it was no longer convenient to use a laptop.

Zhai Yunsheng’s call came right after.

“Don’t be scared. Nothing will happen,” Zhai Yunsheng comforted Jian Yiling.

“I’m fine,” Jian Yiling replied calmly. She was not flustered at all.

“Your chauffeur is quite good at driving. You don’t have to worry.”
