Chapter 116: Lei Qianqian's Invitation

Early the next morning, Ye Feng held Gu Ran tightly and opened his eyes on the bed in the bedroom.

Originally, he had intended to carry Gu Ran to the bed so she could get some good rest, while he would just make do on the sofa for the night.

But this girl was truly a bit too clingy, holding onto him the whole time and refusing to let go.

Ye Feng was helpless and could only let her hold him while they slept in bed all night.

Hmm... it was just a bit hard on his "little brother," which had stayed stiff for the entire night!

Afterwards, he turned his head and looked at Gu Ran, whose brows were still tightly furrowed even in deep sleep, and felt a pang of heartache.

Sigh... this girl really carried far too much on her shoulders!

After a soft sigh, Ye Feng slowly climbed out of bed, moving very lightly for fear of waking her.

However, Gu Ran seemed to sense Ye Feng leaving, and a look of anxiety immediately appeared on her face.

She mumbled in her sleep, "No... don't leave me..."

Her voice carried a trace of helplessness; she looked as if she had lost something and felt very insecure.

Seeing this, Ye Feng gently patted the quilt and said softly, "Alright, I won't leave. I'm not going anywhere, I'll stay right here with you!"

Hearing Ye Feng's voice, Gu Ran's expression gradually relaxed, and her breathing became steady once again.

Seeing this, Ye Feng tucked her in, then turned and tiptoed out of the room.

As soon as he closed the door, Ye Feng took out his phone and called Xie Junhao.

After two rings, Xie Junhao's hearty laughter came through: "What's wrong, Brother Ye?"

"Calling so early, is something the matter?"

Ye Feng didn't waste words and went straight to the point, his tone carrying a hint of urgency: "Brother Xie, is there any way you can help the Gu Group go public within a month?"

Hearing Ye Feng's words, there was silence on the other end for a moment before he said, "If we rely solely on the Tianhai Chamber of Commerce, it's not very likely."

Ye Feng frowned and continued to ask, "What if we add the White Phoenix Society?"

Xie Junhao pondered for a moment, his tone cautious: "There's a chance, but I can't guarantee success."

"Brother Ye, what's wrong? Did something happen?"

Hearing this, Ye Feng briefly recounted what had happened last night, his tone tinged with helplessness: "Gu Ran is under too much pressure, and I don't want her to carry it all alone anymore!"

After listening, Xie Junhao's tone carried a hint of understanding: "I understand."

"Brother Ye, don't worry, I will try my best to find a way, but don't get your hopes up too high; after all, the time is too tight!"

Ye Feng nodded, his tone filled with gratitude: "Brother Xie, thank you. No matter the result, I will keep it in my heart!"

After hanging up, Ye Feng washed up briefly, then went into the kitchen and cooked a bowl of noodles.

Once they were done, he carried the bowl of noodles back to the bedroom.

As soon as he entered the bedroom, he saw that Gu Ran had already woken up and was leaning against the headboard, looking a bit dazed.

Seeing this, Ye Feng smiled slightly, his tone filled with tenderness: "I went to make you some noodles, come and eat a little!"

Gu Ran raised her head, saw the noodles in Ye Feng's hands, and a flash of emotion crossed her eyes.

Ye Feng brought the noodles to her, handed them over, and said softly, "Eat while it's hot. After you're done, we'll go to the company together and see if there's any way to speed up the listing process!"

Seeing this, Gu Ran nodded, picked up her chopsticks, and began to eat in small bites.

After breakfast, the two went to the Gu Group together.

Along the way, Gu Ran's mood never improved, and her face was filled with anxiety.

Upon arriving at the company, she immediately summoned the heads of all departments to begin discussing specific plans for the listing.

As for Ye Feng, he sat to the side, silently pondering countermeasures.

After the meeting ended, Gu Ran let out a long sigh, her tone tinged with exhaustion: "Ye Feng, do you think I can succeed?"

Ye Feng smiled, his tone teasing: "Of course, don't you see who's standing behind you!"

Gu Ran's face flushed slightly, and she gave him a light punch: "Stop with the glib talk!"

The two looked at each other and smiled, as if all the pressure had vanished in that moment...

After returning to the president's office, Gu Ran immediately entered work mode.

Now that all the listing procedures were complete, they only needed to find a suitable investor, and with a massive influx of capital, the listing could be finalized.

However, finding a suitable investor in such a short time was easier said than done!

Moreover, even if they did find one, would the other party really be willing to invest?

This... was simply an impossible task!

"Buzz, buzz..."

At this moment, Ye Feng's phone suddenly rang twice.

Opening it, he saw a message from Lei Qianqian: "There is a Gambling Stone Auction tomorrow night, are you interested?"

Seeing this message, Ye Feng raised an eyebrow, his heart stirring: "How could I have forgotten about this girl!"

The Lei Family was one of the top wealthy families in Tianhai City, and their household was exceptionally affluent.

Furthermore, he had done the Lei Family a favor; if he asked the Lei Family for help, combined with Xie Junhao's Tianhai Chamber of Commerce and his own White Phoenix Society, the chances of the Gu Group going public would definitely increase significantly!

Thinking of this, Ye Feng replied directly with an "OK" emoji!

Of course, he was also genuinely quite interested in the Gambling Stone Auction.

He had the Heavenly Eye and could perceive everything; if he could unearth another piece of Imperial Green Jade like last time, wouldn't he make a huge profit again?

Although the money earned might not be too much, it could at least be the icing on the cake for Gu Ran.

Hmm... who knows, this money might even become a lifesaver!

Time passed minute by minute, and before they knew it, it was time to get off work.

Seeing that Gu Ran had no intention of ending her work, Ye Feng stood up, walked behind her, placed his hands on her shoulders, leaned down close to her ear, and said softly, "Are you tired?"

Gu Ran's pretty face flushed slightly, and she sighed, her tone carrying a hint of exhaustion: "No matter how tired I am, I have to keep going!"

Hearing this, Ye Feng smiled helplessly, then began to gently massage her shoulders.

Gu Ran did not pay him any mind, simply letting him massage her however he pleased.

After the massage ended, Gu Ran put away the documents in her hands and said softly: "Ye Feng, keep me company for a drink again tonight!"

Ye Feng nodded, his tone carrying a hint of tenderness: "Alright, but we can't drink too much this time."

Gu Ran smiled, her tone carrying a hint of teasing: "Why? Is it scary when I get drunk?"

Ye Feng raised an eyebrow and laughed: "That's not it, it's just that you like to hold onto me and won't let go!"

Hearing this, Gu Ran's pretty face turned red in an instant.

She gave him a light punch: "Stop with the glib talk!"

The two looked at each other and smiled, then left the company together...
