If it weren’t for the matter requiring her to meet Dan Hanjie, she could flee right now.

“I’m sorry, Miss, but without an appointment, I’m afraid you won’t be able to see Mr. Dan,” the receptionist said, her tone formal.

The contempt in her eyes was quite palpable.

“My name is Qin Youxuan. I am the heiress of Qin Group. I have a private matter to discuss with Mr. Dan. Could you please notify him for me? I think he should be the one to decide whether to see me or not,” she said, her tone neither servile nor overbearing.

Beautiful eyes, radiating with pride.

A bit more wildness than typical wealthy daughters.

“…” The receptionist was silenced and her face grew even uglier.

“I can only get through to the secretary’s office for you.”

“Thank you.” A graceful smile bloomed on Qin Youxuan’s face, stunningly beautiful.

“What? Let her come up?… Okay, I got it.” The receptionist hung up the phone in shock. And when she looked up, her face had completely changed, greeting Qin with a smile.

“Miss Qin, Mr. Dan’s office is on the top floor. The elevator on the left can take you directly there. The earlier confusion was just a misunderstanding, I hope you won’t mind.”

Qin Youxuan’s lips curled up slightly, composing a faint smile.

The moment she turned around, the hint of a smile on Yuewan’s lips faded.

Why did she feel like a lamb walking into the lion’s den?

“Ding——”

The elevator arrived.

Her hand holding the bag tightened, and she stepped out of the elevator.

The spacious top floor office area was quiet. The sound of her high heels clicking on the floor echoed particularly crisply.

The clean and open design style, the semi-open European-style office, all show the office owner’s supremacy.

Just as Qin Youxuan stepped out of the elevator, she saw the receptionist for the president’s office area stand up, “Miss Qin, Mr. Dan’s office is the last one on the right.”

“Thank you.”

Qin Youxuan was just approaching the door when it swung open from inside.

“Miss Qin, Mr. Dan is waiting for you inside.” Yao saw the figure standing outside the door and released a friendly smile.

He stepped aside to let her in, then turned around and left.

And brought the door closed behind him.

Hearing the sound of the door closing, Qin Youxuan’s nerves tightened, and she instinctively looked towards the man in the office.

Dan Hanjie was sitting at the broad office desk, looking at an open document on the table. The faint light from the window behind him spilled onto him, enveloping him in a serene glow.

His beautiful features were accentuated by the backlighting, casting intermittently alluring and profound shadows on his well-chiseled side profile.

Qin Youxuan was taken aback for a moment, her fingernail digging into her palm.

This was the second time she was captivated by this man.

She knew him well, yet she always had an inexplicable sense of familiarity…

“Seen enough?”

Dan Hanjie lifted his head from the document, accurately catching Qin Youxuan’s lingering gaze and amiably smirked.

He tossed the pen in his hand to the side, leaned his tall, imposing figure back on the chair, and lazily swept his captivating eyes over Qin Youxuan’s startled face, exuding an indefinable allure.

“…” Swallowing hard, Qin Youxuan was unsure of what to say.

Just yesterday she had brazenly rejected his proposition, and today she was here seeking his help. She could not help but feel a little pathetic.

However, the only possible eyewitness at Zhi Shang would probably be Dan Hanjie, dare to speak up.

In order to win the lawsuit, she had no choice but to give it a try.

Seeking Dan Hanjie’s help was far better than lowering her head to the wily old man of Chuangmei Enterprise.

With that thought, Qin Youxuan calmed down, “I know this is presumptuous, but I hope to borrow a bit of your precious time.”
