Chapter 115: Gu Ran's Confusion

"What is the Three-Year Agreement?"

Hearing these words, Ye Feng frowned and asked.

Ever since just now, he had been curious about this so-called Three-Year Agreement, but due to the severity of the situation, he had not asked about it.

Judging by what Gu Father meant, that Three-Year Agreement seemed to have some connection to the Gu Group going public, and it also seemed to be inextricably linked to Gu Ran's future fate!

Seeing Ye Feng ask, Gu Ran took a deep breath and looked up, as if recalling something: "The Three-Year Agreement is a military order I signed when I took office as the president of the Gu Group!"

"Within three years, I must lead the Gu Group to go public!"

"If I fail to complete it, I will automatically step down from the position of president of the Gu Group and let the family deal with me as they see fit!"

She paused, her tone carrying a hint of bitterness: "And now, there is less than a month left until the Three-Year Agreement. If I really can't help the Gu Group go public, then my life... will no longer be in my own hands!"

Hearing this, Ye Feng immediately understood the gist of it.

This girl, it turns out she had been carrying such a heavy burden all this time!

And she hadn't even mentioned it to him once!

Immediately after, he gripped Gu Ran's hand and said firmly: "It's fine, isn't there still a month left? I'll help you!"

Hearing this, Gu Ran just smiled slightly and didn't take Ye Feng's words to heart.

She knew Ye Feng knew the Vice President of the Tianhai Chamber of Commerce, but to help the Gu Group go public, relying solely on the Tianhai Chamber of Commerce was completely impossible!

Then, she shook her head gently, her tone carrying a hint of exhaustion: "Ye Feng, thank you!"

"However, even if the Vice President were to exhaust the entire strength of the Tianhai Chamber of Commerce, there is no way to help the Gu Group go public in such a short time. I appreciate your good intentions, but I'm a bit tired. Please take me home first!"

Seeing this, Ye Feng nodded and said nothing more.

But at this moment, a grand plan was quietly emerging in his mind.

While driving Gu Ran back to the dilapidated residential complex, he was secretly conceiving something in his heart...

On the other side, in the Gu Family banquet hall.

Gu Father held Li Liangchao's shoulder, a smug smile on his face: "Liangchao, don't worry. As long as Gu Ran can't help the group go public within a month, she will have to obediently come home and follow my arrangements!"

"By then, as long as you can help me secure the position of president of the Gu Clan, she will be yours!"

Hearing this, a flash of greed and lewdness crossed Li Liangchao's eyes.

He patted his chest, his tone filled with confidence: "Uncle Gu, don't worry. As long as the Kaise Group invests, no one will be able to take the president's position!"

Hearing this, Gu Father nodded with satisfaction, picked up his wine glass, and shouted to Li Liangchao: "Come, let's have a drink!"

Li Liangchao also picked up his wine glass, a hypocritical smile on his face: "Cheers!"

The glasses clinked, the two looked at each other, and suddenly burst into laughter!

Yet, on the other side where they couldn't see, both seemed to be harboring their own ulterior motives!

Unknowingly, Ye Feng and Gu Ran drove back to the dilapidated residential complex.

"Get some good rest. I'll come see you tomorrow, and we'll think of a way together then!"

Ye Feng pushed the door open for Gu Ran and said this after helping her inside.

"Ye Feng, do you have any alcohol? I want to drink!"

As soon as the door was closed, Gu Ran's slightly dejected voice came out.

Hearing this, Ye Feng was stunned on the spot.

This girl, she didn't say it earlier or later, but chose this exact moment!

Now that they were already home, where was he supposed to find alcohol for her!

However, he didn't voice his inner complaints, but tentatively asked: "How about... I go buy some for you?"

Gu Ran nodded, her tone carrying a hint of exhaustion: "Okay, be careful on the road!"

Seeing this, Ye Feng smiled helplessly, turned around, drove to the nearest convenience store, and bought a case of beer.

When he returned home, Gu Ran had already left the living room.

At this moment, a faint sound of stir-frying mixed with a slight burnt smell slowly drifted over from the kitchen.

Ye Feng was startled, quickly put down the alcohol, and walked toward the kitchen.

As soon as he got close, he smelled a heavy burnt odor, and immediately after, a wisp of black smoke slowly emerged from the kitchen.

Ye Feng was shocked and rushed into the kitchen, only to see Gu Ran standing in a cloud of black smoke, holding something vaguely in her hand, her face full of confusion and helplessness.

Seeing this scene, Ye Feng quickly ran over, pulled Gu Ran into his arms, his tone carrying a hint of urgency: "What are you doing? Are you okay?"

Gu Ran coughed, looked up, and said pitifully: "Ye Feng, am I very stupid? I can't even fry an egg without making a mess like this..."

Ye Feng hugged her tighter and said softly: "Everyone has their own strengths. Your strength is not in this small kitchen, but in the workplace!"

"You go out for a while first, I'll clean this up. I'll stir-fry a couple of dishes for you to have with your drink in a moment!"

After speaking, he gently pushed Gu Ran out and then began to clean up the mess.

About half an hour later, Ye Feng walked out with two dishes.

As soon as he came out, he saw Gu Ran lying on the floor with her back against the sofa, surrounded by empty beer bottles.

At this time, there was a flush on her face and her eyes were unfocused; she was clearly already drunk.

Seeing this scene, Ye Feng frowned. This girl, why did she start drinking by herself!

Immediately after, he walked over quickly, placed the dishes on the table, then squatted down and gently patted Gu Ran's pretty face: "Ran Baobao, are you okay? Why did you drink so much?"

Gu Ran opened her eyes groggily. When she saw Ye Feng's face, she suddenly smiled: "Ye Feng... you're back? Come, have a drink with me..."

Ye Feng sighed helplessly, his tone carrying a hint of heartache: "Stop drinking, your body won't be able to take it if you keep drinking!"

Gu Ran shook her head, a touch of stubbornness appearing on her exquisite face: "No... I want to drink!"

"Ye Feng, do you know? I'm so tired... really... really... so tired..."

Her voice gradually lowered, and a glimmer of tears flashed in her eyes: "I don't want to be any president anymore... I just want... I just want to be myself..."

Ye Feng looked at Gu Ran's fragile appearance, a wave of sorrow in his heart.

He gently picked up Gu Ran, placed her on the sofa, and then sat down beside her, his tone carrying a hint of tenderness: "Ran Baobao, you don't have to carry this alone; with me here, I will always be by your side!"

Gu Ran leaned on Ye Feng's shoulder, a flicker of relief flashing in her eyes: "Ye Feng... thank you... having you here... is truly wonderful..."

Ye Feng gently patted her back and said firmly: "Rest assured, I will definitely help you fulfill the Three-Year Agreement!"

"No matter how difficult it is, I will always stay by your side!"

Gu Ran did not speak again, just leaning on Ye Feng's shoulder, gradually closing her eyes.

Her breathing gradually steadied; it looked like she had fallen asleep from being drunk.

Looking at Gu Ran's slightly dazed expression, Ye Feng secretly made a resolution in his heart: "Believe in me, I will definitely help you complete the Three-Year Agreement!"

"No matter what price I have to pay, I will let you take control of your own life again!"
