“What kind of things are you doing?” Elder George asked.
“I’m looking into a development project on the west side of Beijing. I talked to you about it last time,” Lucy replied.
She looked at Elder George and wondered why he had suddenly appeared in her study room.
However, she refused to let Elder George know that she had found out the whereabouts of the family compass.
If she let Elder George know about this, she would have no chance to obtain the compass.
Elder George walked over beside Lucy and glanced at the documents on her desk before he looked at the things displayed on her computer screen. Everything was indeed about the development project on the west side of Beijing.
“Cai Qinyue has been following you around recently, hasn’t she?” Elder George asked.
“Yes she has. Is there a problem with her?” Lucy asked. Although the expression on her face did not change, she was wondering why Elder Geroge suddenly asked her about Cai Qinyue.
“She went to visit Young Master Zhai and his fiancee today. Did you have anything to do with this?”
“Nope,” Lucy denied.
“Really?” Elder George asked again. His voice was low and his eyes were fixed on Lucy. It was as though he was trying to read her mind.
“Nope. Cai Qinyue is merely my employee. Her personal matters have nothing to do with me,” Lucy replied.
“That’s good. Your father did foolish things in Beijing. He has now been completely abandoned by our family. I hope that you won’t follow in his footsteps,” Elder George reminded Lucy.
“I understand. I won’t do anything stupid. Please rest assured.”

Lucy did not think that there was anything wrong with what she was doing.
Her father had done something illegal to end up in this situation.
Although she was doing something that was considered despicable, it was not illegal.
After Elder George finished questioning Lucy, he left Lucy’s study room.
After he left the room, Elder George said to his subordinate: “The rest of the family will learn about the compass soon. We must ensure the safety of Miss Jian Yiling for the time being.”
“Understood.”

As Cai Qinyue was causing a ruckus, Jian Yiling’s stream once again gathered a lot of viewers.
Everyone was waiting to see how the drama would unfold.
Although this was not yet the peak time for Internet usage, the popularity of the live stream had soared to ten million viewers.
This made the other seven groups from suspicious. Was this deliberately arranged by Jian Yiling and Zhai Yunsheng?
It just so happened that Xu Rui planned to invite one of his friends over for lunch. Xu Rui had intended to prepare a meal himself.
Xu Rui’s manager was ready to make posts on the Internet to gather a wave of popularity.
However, neither of them expected Jian Yiling’s group to cause such a commotion.
Xu Rui’s manager couldn’t help but exclaim: “Jian Yiling’s group is very good at marketing. They somehow manage to attract the attention of viewers every single week.”
“What if it’s real? Perhaps, it’s a coincidence. After all, these things will have an impact on their reputation.”
“Just watch. Even if it’s a marketing tactic, we will just have to accept it. After all, they have money and power. We can’t do anything about it.”
Xu Rui’s manager understood the situation quite well. They could not afford to go head to head with Jian Yiling’s group.
And thus, they would just sit by and analyze the drama as it unfolded.. Maybe in the near future, such a tactic could be used on Xu Rui as well.
