At the Pinnacle of Power: The Female Leader and Her Chief Advisor

Liu Yiyi took Su Ran's arm and introduced her to the young men present.

These people are all second-generation rich kids from Songxi, and none of their families have less than a billion yuan in assets.

Su Ran wasn't unfamiliar with these people; she had briefly met them before, but she didn't like this circle, so she didn't develop a deep relationship with them.

These people were all taken aback when they saw Su Ran.

"What a rare guest! I didn't expect you to come, Su Ran."

"Su Ran, you're so much prettier now than before!"

Knowing that he was there tonight, Su Ran smiled and responded to everyone. At the same time, he raised his glass and took the initiative to start a conversation to build rapport.

Several rich kids were very interested in her. Ever since she came in, they had been surrounding her, taking the initiative to talk about high-class topics, hoping to show off their taste and win Su Ran's favor.

Su Ran naturally gave them face, occasionally showing surprise and sometimes even saying things like "You're really amazing," which made the rich kids feel quite flattered.

"Did Ranran come alone tonight?"

"Um."

So, you're still single?

"Um... I have a boyfriend!"

Upon hearing this answer, the second-generation rich kids all looked disappointed.

Among the group of second-generation rich kids was Gu Bingcheng, who had liked Su Ran for a long time. Hearing that Su Ran had a boyfriend, he still wouldn't give up and asked, "Oh? Who's your boyfriend? Do I know him?"

Before Su Ran could answer, Liu Yiyi interrupted, "Her boyfriend is just a low-level civil servant with a fixed salary of only a few thousand yuan a month. He doesn't even own a house in Songxi."

Then, Liu Yiyi said to Su Ran, "Ranran, Gu Bingcheng has liked you for a long time. I still think you two are a better match. Why don't you two try dating?"

Su Ran glared at Liu Yiyi, and was about to say no, but when she thought of the purpose of coming here tonight, she smiled and said nothing more.

Little did she know, her reaction was interpreted by Gu Bingcheng as just two words.

There is a play!

Tonight's gathering reached a new climax with Su Ran's arrival.

Several rich second-generation individuals showed great interest in Su Ran, and even though they knew she had a boyfriend, they made no attempt to hide it.

He's just a low-level civil servant; he doesn't even have the right to speak to them, let alone compete for women.

Although she won the favor of the men present, the women at the dinner party were not so friendly to Su Ran.

Although they were not bad-looking, people's appearances are easily compared, and compared with Su Ran, the difference in their looks was immediately apparent.

Therefore, when they speak, they always use veiled barbs and innuendo.

After dinner, the group continued with their second activity at Jin Ding.

Jin Ding is a high-end club in Songxi, and it's one of the places they frequent.

The private room was luxuriously decorated, with piles of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages stacked high.

The ambient lights of various colors flashed wildly, creating an atmosphere that made people extremely excited.

Especially with the added effect of alcohol numbing their nerves, some people were already hugging each other and biting their lips.

Gu Bingcheng and several other second-generation rich kids were chatting with Su Ran while leaning back on the sofa.

Su Ran pretended to be very interested as she listened to their self-praise, and kept looking for an opportunity to ask them for money, but she never had a suitable opportunity.

……

Today was a rare day with nothing to do, so Lu Ming took a shower and went to bed to rest.

Before he could fall asleep, Mu Xueqi called.

"There's something you'd be very interested in."

With just one sentence, he successfully piqued Lu Ming's interest.

"What is it?"

"Hengyue Group's funds have been frozen."

Hengyue?

It sounds familiar.

Seeing that Lu Ming didn't speak, Mu Xueqi said, "You don't know this company, do you?"

"That sounds familiar."

"This restaurant is owned by your girlfriend Su Ran."

Lu Ming remembered and frowned, asking, "What did this company do wrong? Why are their funds frozen?"

Mu Xueqi said, "I don't know the specifics either, I just found out and wanted to let you know."

"Okay, I understand."

Just as Lu Ming was about to hang up, Mu Xueqi asked, "What are you doing now?"

"Just got into bed."

"Want to go for a walk?"

Lu Ming knew she had figured it out, but he wasn't in the mood for it right now.

"Maybe next time, I have something to do."

"Seeing your little girlfriend?"

"We are just ordinary friends."

"Hehe, then you go ahead and get busy."

After hanging up the phone, Lu Ming hurriedly called Su Ran.

The family and company's funds have been frozen, and Su Ran still hasn't contacted him.

Either her father could solve it, or she didn't want to bother herself.

Regardless of which one it is, he has to make a phone call and ask.

Su Ran has helped me so much over this period of time. Now that her family is in trouble, it would be really inhuman of me to ignore it.

……

Upon seeing Lu Ming's call, Su Ran stood up and said, "I'm going to the restroom."

Gu Bingcheng glanced at his phone and smiled, "I was just about to use the restroom myself."

Stepping out of the private room, Gu Bingcheng finally had some peace and quiet. He stared at Su Ran's retreating figure, his eyes filled with intense desire, and licked his lips.

He had long coveted Su Ran's body, but unfortunately Su Ran had always been indifferent to him. However, tonight, he seemed to have seen another opportunity.

Su Ran went into the restroom before answering the phone.

"Hey, Brother Lu Ming, what's wrong...?"

"Your dad's company's funds have been frozen?"

Lu Ming didn't wait for her to finish speaking before asking directly.

Hearing this, Su Ran was stunned for two seconds, then felt moved.

She didn't expect that Lu Ming would also know about this.

To my surprise, she took the initiative to call and ask.

Feeling the concern in Lu Ming's words, Su Ran felt her eyes sting.

"Brother Lu Ming, my... my dad's company is fine."

Her acting was clearly terrible; Lu Ming immediately noticed the odd tone in her voice and asked, "Where are you?"

"I...I'm outside."

"address!"

Su Ran hesitated for a moment, then obediently replied, "Golden Tripod Club."

"A club? What do you do there?"

"I...I am..."

Su Ran stammered, unsure how to answer.

Lu Ming then asked, "Who did you go with?"

"Yiyi."

"The one from yesterday?"

"Um."

Worried that Lu Ming would be angry if he found out she was hanging out with them, Su Ran quickly explained, "I just wanted to ask them for help. My dad's company is due to payday soon, and I need their help to tide me over."

Lu Ming was unaware of her family's company's situation at first, but after hearing what she said, he immediately understood that the situation was extremely bad.

After all, if it were a normal loan, how could Su Ran possibly ask her to borrow money from her friends?

Unless it's Su Ran's father, he can't borrow any more money.

Seeing that Su Ran was in such a difficult situation and hadn't even contacted him, Lu Ming felt very guilty and said, "Give me the private room number."

"Brother Lu Ming, I..."

Send it to me now.

After saying that, Lu Ming hung up the phone.

A few seconds later, after receiving the private room number from Su Ran, Lu Ming got dressed, went downstairs, got in his car, and headed to the Golden Tripod Club...
