Yan Ran was working on her paperwork in her secretary's office.

The phone suddenly rang.

Yan Ran glanced at the incoming call and her expression was quite surprised. It was her best friend from college, Xu Jiajia.

When they were in college, they were not only roommates, but also from the same city, so they quickly became best friends who could talk about anything.

However, after graduating from university, they gradually became somewhat estranged due to different job choices.

Yan Ran answered the phone quickly: "Jiajia, why did you suddenly decide to call me today? Is there some good news? Are you getting married or having a baby?"

Yan Ran continued to joke around as she always did in college.

"Ranran, I'm in your city on a business trip. You're the host, so you should really show me some hospitality. We haven't seen each other for so many years, and I'd love to have a long talk with you!" Xu Jiajia said with a smile, "I want to tell you all about how much I've missed you all these years. I wonder if my beautiful lady has time to meet me?"

Yan Ran hesitated slightly. Honestly, she really didn't want to leave the company to see anyone. Only at the company did she feel safe.

If she leaves the company, will the people she offends take action against her?

With this in mind, Yan Ran wanted to find an excuse to politely decline.

Even your former best friend isn't as important as your own safety and life!

But Xu Jiajia immediately added, "My beautiful lady, you absolutely mustn't refuse, because it's not just me who wants to see you this time. My fiancé and I are here together to invite you to dinner, so you can't refuse this opportunity!"

At this point, Yan Ran finally hesitated.

She came with her fiancé, and considering their past relationship, it would be rather heartless to refuse her outright.

Yan Ran then said, "Jiajia, give me your hotel room number. I'll come find you as soon as I finish what I'm doing!"

Yan Ran believes that this way, even if she leaves the company, her safety will be relatively greater, because no one will know when she leaves the company.

However, Yan Ran still had a second thought, and decided that for her own safety, she should still inform Lin Jun.

In that case, Lin Jun might arrange for someone to protect her personally.

Of course, even if Lin Jun doesn't have someone protect him closely, he can still ask Lin Jun for help in time if something happens to him.

Upon arriving at Lin Jun's office, Yan Ran explained her purpose.

Lin Jun immediately took it seriously.

Lin Jun had already made various predictions about Zhu Dongyuan's possible methods of action, and Yan Ran was a very important channel.

Lin Jun has always attached great importance to this and keeps a close eye on his secretary's movements.

Therefore, he keenly noticed that Yan Ran's best friend's sudden visit with her fiancé was unusual.

It seems they're looking for an opportunity that Yan Ran will have no choice but to meet them!

Lin Jun thought for a moment and said, "I'll arrange for a skilled security guard to be your assistant and accompany you to meet your friends!"

This was a treatment Yan Ran naturally longed for, and she kept thanking her.

Lin Jun then instructed Yan Ran: "Remember, for your own safety, report to me immediately upon your return if you encounter anything unusual!"

Yan Ran immediately agreed, and thought to herself, even if the boss hadn't told her these things, she would definitely have done it anyway!

After Yan Ran left his office, Lin Jun fell into deep thought.

Whether my previous judgment and Fang Shu's judgment were correct depends on what Yan Ran says when she comes back.

If Yan Ran met with her best friend and then came back and told him about what happened involving Lin Jun.

That must have been Zhu Dongyuan's idea!

This would directly prove that Lin Jun and Fang Shu's previous judgment was completely correct, allowing them to successfully carry out their plan again and completely eliminate Zhu Dongyuan.

Yan Ran went to the security department and picked a young, tall security guard that she found pleasing to the eye.

She even had the security guard change into civilian clothes, and then she drove off with him in her own car.

In the car, Yan Ran instructed the security guard: "Remember, you're not a security guard for our company now, you're my special assistant. This is President Lin's order, and he'll definitely reward you when we get back. There can't be any mistakes. If I encounter any danger, you must protect me. Do you understand?"

Upon hearing that this was an order from General Manager Lin, and that there was a reward involved, the security guard immediately became excited: "Secretary Yan, don't worry, I absolutely guarantee your safety and will never let you encounter any danger!"

Hearing the security guard's assurance, Yan Ran felt much more at ease.

Forty minutes later, Yan Ran drove to the hotel where Xu Jiajia was staying.

She parked her car and called Xu Jiajia from inside.

"Jiajia, I'm downstairs at your hotel. Please come down with your fiancé. I'd like to treat you to a big meal," Yan Ran said with a smile.

"Ranran, you're really quick! My fiancé and I will be downstairs soon. Please wait a moment, but I need to get ready first!" Xu Jiajia replied happily, "So please be patient for a little while!"

Xu Jiajia hung up Yan Ran's call and immediately made another call.

"Mr. Fu, I have successfully arranged a meeting with Yan Ran. She is currently downstairs at my hotel. If anything goes wrong with the fiancé you arranged for me, it has nothing to do with me!" Xu Jiajia said bluntly. "And I demand full payment from you right now."

"No problem at all, Ms. Xu, don't worry. I'll transfer the remaining 500,000 to you right now!" Fu Yukang replied with a lecherous grin. "Remember, you absolutely must dine with Yan Ran at Liao's Seafood Restaurant today!"

"No problem at all. I'll just say my fiancé has already booked a private room at Liao's Seafood," Xu Jiajia replied. "Therefore, Yan Ran definitely won't refuse!"

Xu Jiajia received a text message notification that 500,000 yuan had been deposited into her account immediately after ending a call with Fu Yukang.

She couldn't help but open her mobile banking app and check her bank account balance, which was a full 117 million yuan. The 170,000 yuan was what she had saved up over the years, and the 1 million yuan was the reward given to her by Fu Yukang.

It's faster to make money by betraying your friends!

Xu Jiajia kissed her mobile bank balance hard.

Then she said to herself, "Yan Ran, I hope you won't blame me. I only asked to meet you once, and I got so much money for it. No one can resist that temptation. Besides, the other party said they would never hurt you, so I think you should understand me. If you were in my shoes, I think you would have done the same thing!"

After talking to herself like this, Xu Jiajia felt completely relieved of her guilt and felt much more at ease!
