Because... Han Siming’s sudden change was too dangerous.

Once a person is in a state of paranoia, they’re capable of doing anything.

Thinking of this, Jian Ran darkened her eyes, stood up, and looked outside the office; Han Siming was being tested by other staff members of the design department, her lips pursed slightly.

Hmm, no good person comes knocking without reason.

Since the other party has come to us, Jian Ran and Gu Mochen don’t mind playing along with them properly.

...

Considering it was Han Siming, the conditions for joining the company were greatly simplified.

But he would still start from an internship, with a three-month probation period.

As the head of the design department, with a new colleague onboard, Jian Ran naturally had to warmly greet him and also hold a simple department meeting.

Jian Ran’s beautiful eyes were clear and bright, and her lips always bore a faint, distant smile, unperturbed by praise or criticism.

"Starting from today, I hope everyone will help and support each other."

She paused, then Jian Ran pressed her lips together and said, "I believe that coming to a new place means starting anew, starting from scratch... Everything in the future is brand new."

Upon hearing Jian Ran’s words, everyone applauded in acknowledgment.

Han Siming knew... these words from Jian Ran were meant for him; he narrowed his dark pupils, and everything was left unsaid.

...

After the meeting, Jian Ran stood up and walked toward her office; Han Siming also stood up and stopped her.

"Ranran... I will start over for you."

Jian Ran pursed her lips, speaking softly, "There’s something, I wonder if you’ve heard of it, called moral kidnapping, Han Siming... Don’t morally kidnap me. Whether you start over or not has no direct or indirect relation to me, it’s only related to yourself."

"So... just do a good job, the internship at Gu Family’s design department is not that easy... Well, I’m looking forward to your performance."

After finishing, Jian Ran gave a light glance at the man in front of her and walked straight to her office.

Han Siming watched the woman’s indifferent demeanor, like calm and cold ink, a hint of sinister coldness flashing in his eyes.

...

Han Siming’s induction into the Gu Family and simultaneously obtaining ten percent of the Gu Family’s shares caused a huge stir in Yuncheng City.

Now... to say that Han Siming has nothing to do with the Gu Family would hardly be believed by anyone.

It should be known that as the Gu Family developed, Gu Mochen retracted many of the shares he distributed externally, almost no longer auctioning off shares.

The development of the Gu Family was thriving, and now... wanting to buy shares of the Gu Family was like trying to reach the skies.

With the Han Family’s bankruptcy... Han Siming had only a meager five billion, how could he get ten percent of the Gu Family’s shares.

There was clearly more than meets the eye.

...

weeks later:

Jian Ran had always maintained a relatively safe distance from Han Siming in the design department, not giving the man any opportunity to take advantage.

Now, with Han Siming’s status as a shareholder of the Gu Family, coupled with his past experience in the business world, he had in his favor many connections.

So... landing a design case was a piece of cake.

Jian Ran was not surprised by this.

However... what happened to starting anew?

This was clearly just taking advantage of Gu Mochen.

...

Inside Jian Ran’s office in the design department:

Han Siming knocked on the door and entered, directly handing over the design draft he was holding to Jian Ran.

"Ranran, take a look... this is the design for the collaboration with the Chen Family."

Han Siming had been looking for an opportunity to get close to Jian Ran, but she had always kept him at bay, preventing any chance to approach. Now that he had landed the cooperation with the Chen Family, he finally had the chance to hand his design draft to Jian Ran personally.
