Chapter 86: 21-Day Love Rules

Hearing this, Tong Yue gave Jiang Xinxin a look.

Jiang Xinxin immediately rushed to Lin Yeman's side clutching her computer, nervously turning the screen toward her.

"Team Leader Lin, I hope you can also understand the difficulties our Public Relations Department faces."

Tong Yue signaled for Jiang Xinxin to step back, then spoke indifferently: "You should also know that the evaluation for an endorsement candidate of Ryan Group's caliber is very strict; it doesn't just look at the single dimension of short-term traffic."

"Although Li Xinran currently has a massive lead in public opinion and traffic, even surpassing A-list stars, you and I both know that this is, after all, a flash in the pan and won't amount to anything."

After a pause, Tong Yue flicked her gaze toward the computer screen: "Anyway, the only title we can give Li Xinran right now is Promotional Ambassador. Take a look at the contract; if there are no issues, I'll send it to the Legal Department."

"What did you say?"

Lin Yeman raised an eyebrow and snorted coldly, "Team Leader Tong, this deal seems a bit lopsided, doesn't it?"

"The number of pre-sale reservations for Ryan's new product has already broken historical records."

"Over 65% of that growth came directly from that one post by Li Xinran."

"With such high-efficiency conversion, you're trying to fob me off with a Brand Promotional Ambassador title?"

Lin Yeman leaned back against her chair and closed the computer with a sharp click: "I, for one, do not accept."

"You don't accept?"

Tong Yue's tone suddenly rose: "Lin Yeman, don't be ungrateful."

"Do you really think you call the shots in this entertainment industry? Even this Brand Promotional Ambassador title was something I had to negotiate with the Ryan Business Department for a long time before they reluctantly agreed to skip the assessment period!"

Tong Yue rolled her eyes so hard they almost went to the back of her head.

Where did this Lin Yeman get the confidence and courage?

Even if she were confident in her own eye for talent, Li Xinran could only be considered a newcomer after all.

She didn't even have a decent work to her name, and her viewership data was zero.

Just such a plain, unremarkable newcomer.

Being able to land a Brand Promotional Ambassador role for the Fortune 500 Ryan Group would be like her ancestors' graves smoking with good fortune!

Tong Yue's mouth turned down, her gaze toward Lin Yeman becoming even more mocking.

"If you don't accept it, then go to the Ryan headquarters yourself and have their boss change the title for you personally!"

Who does she think she is?

The company boss? Any other newcomer of the same level would have been secretly thrilled if they could get this title.

Truly, "why don't they eat meat," she is simply ungrateful.

Unexpectedly.

Lin Yeman suddenly laughed.

She shook her head with a slight sigh and said word by word: "Since Team Leader Tong wants me to go personally, then I shall go personally, but I need to borrow someone from you."

"…Who?" Tong Yue's heart skipped a beat.

"Who else could it be?" Lin Yeman hooked her finger, "Of course, it's the handsome Shen."

Although she had already guessed it in her heart.

But when the answer was spoken by Lin Yeman, Tong Yue's expression still changed.

"Team Leader Lin, you have harassed my colleagues in Group 2 time and again; I haven't even settled that account with you yet, and now you're becoming even more unscrupulous." Tong Yue naturally refused to show weakness.

"It's a matter of mutual consent, how can that be considered harassment?"

Lin Yeman feigned surprise and covered her mouth: "Could it be that Team Leader Tong has never had a man before? How is your thinking even more conservative than my mother's?"

"You!" A surge of blood rushed to Tong Yue's head.

"A newcomer who probably can't even find where Ryan Group is—what use do you have for him?"

"I see you clearly have ulterior motives and are using public office for private gain!" Tong Yue exposed Lin Yeman's facade in front of everyone.

Lin Yeman simply stopped pretending: "I have never liked forcing others. Since we are at a stalemate, let's ask the person involved for his opinion."

She turned to Shen Huai and slowly curled her lips: "Shen Huai, are you willing to go with me to the Ryan headquarters?"

After speaking, Lin Yeman's gaze lingered meaningfully for a moment.

Shen Huai's Adam's apple bobbed, and he understood immediately.

This look contained not just a threat, but also a reminder.

Shen Huai's true identity was now known to Lin Yeman and Yang Lanzhi.

And as for Lin Yeman's relationship with Xingyao, judging by the situation, only Shen Huai knew.

Now, the two of them were grasshoppers on the same string.

It was a relationship even closer than that of business partners.

He had no choice.

Shen Huai swallowed, licked his lips, and looked at Tong Yue with deep eyes: "Team Leader Tong, I do want to follow Team Leader Lin to gain more experience and learn; please grant this."

Boom.

Tong Yue's expression froze.

The anger on her face didn't even have time to fade before it stiffened in place, caught off guard.

She hadn't expected Shen Huai to agree so lightly.

So decisively, almost without any hesitation. "Shen Huai, I'm warning you, Ryan is not an ordinary client. You've been on the job for less than a week, there are many things—!"

"Team Leader Tong, you don't need to worry about that; I will take good care of him."

Before Tong Yue could finish, Lin Yeman pulled Shen Huai's hand and walked toward the door with a smile.

As she walked, she turned back to deliver a final blow: "Oh, right, I have some high-quality donkey-hide gelatin. I'll have Yu Xiang bring some to Team Leader Tong later to help improve your complexion."

"Crack—"

The computer screen in Tong Yue's hand was crushed by her grip, the liquid crystal leaking out.

"Ah... my newly bought computer!..." Jiang Xinxin was on the verge of tears.

Tong Yue took a deep breath, gritted her teeth, and forced herself to remain calm as she returned the computer to Jiang Xinxin: "... After work today, go buy one with better quality; I'll pay for it."

"..." Jiang Xinxin pouted, having no choice but to sullenly hug the computer back.

Fu Hai shrank his neck and began typing away on his phone.

He immediately shared this explosive gossip with his girlfriend, Chu Tiantian, whom he was madly in love with.

What it meant for a fire at the city gates to bring disaster to the fish in the moat—he had truly witnessed it today.

His own Tian Tian was still the best; she was beautiful, kind-hearted, and had a sweet voice.

She would absolutely never commit such a brutal act like Team Leader Tong.

Emerging from the Group 2 office.

Lin Yeman did not let go of Shen Huai's hand.

She walked straight toward the upper floors.

Floors 11 through 15 all belonged to the Artist Management Department.

After all, artist activities accounted for the absolute bulk of Xingyao's revenue, so it was only right that they occupied more floors.

Along the way.

Countless onlookers couldn't help but cast glances, only to immediately yield to the sharp, full-force gaze of Lin Yeman and scramble to avoid her.

The elevator stopped at the 15th floor.

Lin Yeman pulled Shen Huai straight through the corridor and finally stopped at a frosted sensor door.

Shen Huai looked closely.

He saw a line of large characters printed impressively above the door—

【Chairman's Office】

?! Wasn't the Xingyao Chairman Yang Lan? Didn't Lin Yeman say she was taking him to the Ryan headquarters? Why were they running to Yang Lan's office? Lin Yeman took a deep breath.

Then, she reached into her pocket and pulled out a black card, swiping it on the door's scanner—

"Identification successful, door lock opened."

The frosted glass door slowly opened to both sides.

Lin Yeman pulled Shen Huai and stepped into the office with ease.

She saw a familiar figure currently hunched over the desk, looking as if she were enduring self-imposed hardship.

Yang Lan held a thick book in one hand and a pen in the other, taking notes.

She was muttering something convincingly and couldn't help but nod repeatedly.

Seeing her elder sister so engrossed in reading that she hadn't even noticed Lin Yeman enter.

Lin Yeman let go of her hand in some embarrassment and gave a few affected coughs.

The pen in Yang Lan's hand stopped, and she instinctively looked up! —

The moment she saw Lin Yeman, Yang Lan's expression panicked; she hurriedly flipped the book over onto her notebook and covered the text with her arm, speaking quite unnaturally: "Team Leader Lin, why didn't you knock before coming in today?"

Originally, Lin Yeman had long been accustomed to Yang Lan's usual eccentric behavior.

But Yang Lan's current attempt to cover things up only piqued her curiosity.

The more guilty one feels, the more there is to hide.

She swayed her figure and walked over quietly, her eyes curved into smiles: "Elder sister, I've brought you some good news."

"Oh? What is it?" Yang Lan instinctively raised her body.

"It's..." Lin Yeman teased Yang Lan with the tail of her sentence, her gaze quietly fixed on Yang Lan's hand.

The next moment.

Taking advantage of her lack of preparation, Lin Yeman suddenly snatched the book from her hand!

"Give it back! Give it back to me! Manman, you're cheating!" Yang Lan stomped her feet in anger.

Lin Yeman revealed a triumphant, mischievous grin and happily flipped the book over: "What could be so fascinating that Elder sister is reading it? Let me learn a thing or two—"

Before the sound had faded.

Lin Yeman's gaze fell upon the title on the front page, and her expression shifted slightly.

There, printed clearly on the page, was a line of large characters—

"21 Days Crash Course in Love".
