Li Jingran’s eyes darkened. “Let the driver take you.”
Xu Wanwan nodded obediently and agreed. “Okay.”
Before she left, Li Jingran stopped her again and whispered, “Come back soon.”
Xu Wanwan did not plan on staying too long, so she turned around and smiled at him. “I know.”
Li Jingran did not say anything else. He stood in front of the French window and watched Xu Wanwan’s petite figure get into the car.
The Butler walked over and reminded him, “Director Li, you haven’t rested for several days. You have to take care of your health.”
The mess in the company had been resolved. It was indeed time for him to rest.
Li Jingran retracted his gaze and asked, “Did you send the payment to the other party?”
“I sent a few people to investigate, but they were unable to find the other party’s account.” The Butler frowned and still felt that it was strange. “Later, the other party sent someone to pass on a message saying that they were helping the Li Group to repay a debt of gratitude and that they did not want money.”
“Repay a debt of gratitude?” Li Jingran raised his voice slightly, becoming more interested in this matter.
“In short, that’s how the other party passed on the message. As for the specifics, I didn’t manage to find out.”
Li Jingran said in a deep voice, “I suspect that the contact information you gave me is from a reseller. Go and investigate again.”
The Butler instantly understood what he meant. “Yes, I’ll go right away.”
Li Jingran’s eyes were filled with a deep emotion. He wanted to see what kind of background the other party had to actually reject the payment time and time again.

Xu Wanwan was in the driver’s car and was on her way to the Cloud Lake Hotel.
Having left in a hurry, she did not have time to prepare a gift so she planned to buy one at a nearby shopping mall.
After getting out of the car, she went straight to the shopping mall. She selected a man’s watch worth tens of thousands of yuan from a counter selling watches. After getting it wrapped, she went to the hotel.
She got on the elevator to the sixth floor and stood outside private room 601, tentatively knocking on the door.
There were sounds of footsteps walking inside. The door was then opened, and a familiar figure appeared.
The moment Chen San saw Xu Wanwan, his jaw almost dropped. His face was full of shock. “Goddess!!! How did you know it was my birthday?”
Xu Wanwan looked at the boy in front of her and slowly recalled who he was. She was also very surprised. “Is it you who’s celebrating a birthday today?”
“Yes, I invited a lot of my friends to my birthday party. I just didn’t expect you to come. I even suspect that this is a dream,” Chen San said as he scratched his head.
Xu Wanwan slowly reacted. “You are Third Brother Is The Most Handsome?”
“You…you are?” Chen San froze again.
Xu Wanwan looked at his surprised reaction and could not help but laugh. “I am Just A Bunny.”
“Oh my God!!! No way!” Third Brother Is The Most Handsome jumped up. “The Goddess is my online friend?”
His exclamations made everyone present curious.
“Chen San, can you not keep everyone in suspense? Quickly bring Just A Rabbit here for everyone to see.”
“That’s right, we can’t let you see them alone. We’re so curious to death.”
Xu Wanwan reminded him in a light voice, “Do you want me to go in first?”
Chen San finally realized what was going on and quickly moved away. “Please come in, please come in.”
Xu Wanwan nodded and walked in at a leisurely pace. A smile appeared on her lips as she looked at the people sitting at the table. “Hello, everyone.”
Everyone present looked toward the doorway with surprise in their eyes.
“Where’s the stingy man, ah? This is clearly a little fairy!” Someone could not help but shout.
Xu Wanwan was wearing a light yellow cardigan and a beige dress, looking quite innocent and well-behaved with her lips curving into a full smile. No one would feel disgusted by her.
She openly met everyone’s gaze then walked to her seat.
Chen San quickly went up to her, his tone extraordinarily excited, “Everyone, please be quiet.”
“Let me tell you, Just A Bunny is our school’s top scorer in Science. I even sent everyone a picture in the group!”
“So how is it? Isn’t she pretty? I told you, Just A Bunny can’t be a stingy guy. It’s my honor to invite a goddess like her out.”
“Fluttering Skirt, weren’t you the one who wrongly accused Just A Bunny of being a stingy man? Now that you’ve seen her in person, you should at least apologize to her, right?”
A woman in her early thirties snorted coldly. “It’s just saying a wrong thing, what’s there to apologize for?”
Xu Wanwan glanced at the person who spoke.
That person should be Fluttering Skirt. Although she had maintained her looks well, the fine lines at the corners of her eyes revealed her age.
Xia Momo, who was sitting in front of Xu Wanwan, tried to smooth things over. “Just A Bunny, don’t hold it against her. I’m from the same school as you, but we’re your seniors. If you need anything in the future, you can look for me.”
Liu He waved at her as well. “Hello, I’m from the same batch as Xia Momo. I’m the President of the Student Union. If you encounter any problems at school in the future, feel free to look for me.”
After he finished speaking, he did not forget to praise her. “Oh right, your speech at the orientation party was very interesting.”
Xu Wanwan smiled politely. “Thank you.”
When Fluttering Skirt saw that everyone was favoring Xu Wanwan, she was extremely unhappy. “Just A Bunny, you came to a birthday party and didn’t even prepare a birthday present?”
Xu Wanwan stood up and handed the gift box to Chen San. “Oh right, I wish you a happy birthday.”
“Thank you, Goddess!” Chen San took the gift and could not hide the smile on his face.
Fluttering Skirt glanced at the box and sneered. “I guess it’s a cheap gift from the gift shop.”
Chen San frowned and retorted, “Why are you always targeting her? Even if she gives me a gift worth a few yuan, I would still be very happy.”
“A gift of a few yuan. Such nerve to give it to you then freeload on food and drink here. The cheapest gift from everyone here is a gift worth a few thousand yuan.”
Xu Wanwan looked at her coldly then said to Chen San, “I don’t know what you like since it’s our first meeting, so I got you a watch. Open it and take a look.”
“I like whatever the Goddess gives me.” Chen San did not think too much about it. He opened the gift box curiously and was stunned when he saw the branded watch inside.
“No way! We don’t even know each other, yet you’re giving me such an expensive gift!”
He had wanted this watch for a long time. He had planned to buy it after his birthday, but he didn’t expect to receive a gift in advance.
Xu Wanwan said calmly, “It’s fine, as long as you like it.”
Xia Momo recognized the brand of the watch and couldn’t help but exclaim, “Wow, Just A Rabbit is so generous, giving a watch worth tens of thousands of yuan just like that.”
Liu He sighed from the bottom of his heart, “It’s a pity that I’m not the one celebrating my birthday today…”
After Fluttering Skirt saw the brand of the watch, her tone became thick with jealousy. “She earned so much money from the Li Group alone. It’s just a watch worth tens of thousands of yuan. What’s there to talk about?”
At this moment, a middle-aged man spoke, “She didn’t receive any payment at all.”
