Zuo Xianyu had never expected this to happen.

Caught completely off guard, she was struck hard across the face. Her ears rang from the impact.

The sharp corner of the folder even cut a line across her cheek, leaving a streak of blood.

The entire conference room fell silent.

A few seconds later, the ringing in her ears finally subsided.

Only then did she turn her head, take a deep breath, and suppress her anger. “Grandpa Feng, what do you mean by this?”

“What do I mean?” Old Master Feng’s gaze no longer held its former admiration, his tone turning cold. “Zuo Xianyu, I’ve watched you grow up. When you showed talent at ten, your grandfather was overjoyed and entrusted you to me to teach you business.

For over a decade, you’ve performed exceptionally well. You even earned an MBA from Xia University. Your grandfather trusted you enough to appoint you directly as general manager. But what happened after he passed away?”

Old Master Feng slammed the table. “Didn’t I tell you that haste makes waste? In business, you need boldness, yes—but also caution. Look at how many mistakes you’ve made recently. And take a look at this deal, how did you even calculate it?!”

Zuo Xianyu picked up the folder that had been thrown aside. After flipping through it, her expression gradually froze.

Another basic business error.

And this time, it hadn’t been corrected in time and caused the Zuo Group to lose five hundred million overnight.

Five hundred million wasn’t much for the Zuo Group, but it had been caused by her mistake.

Zuo Xianyu was extremely competitive, this kind of error hurt more than anything.

Under the meaningful gazes of the senior executives, a layer of cold sweat formed on her back. She felt as if thorns were pressing into her, unbearably uncomfortable.

“Talent is a good thing,” Old Master Feng said calmly, “but you can’t rely on it too much. What will you do if one day it’s gone? You should stop working for now. Hand over all your responsibilities to Yuanlin.”

Zuo Yuanlin wasn’t from Zuo Tianfeng’s branch, but from the third branch of the family and in recent years, he had been rising quickly.

“Xianyu, you should listen to Old Master Feng,” Zuo Yuanlin said with a fake smile. “Take some time to rest. Maybe you’ll recover. And while you’re at it, deal with the online public opinion. That adopted outsider your grandfather took in—her fans are dragging our family through the mud.”

Zuo Xianyu clenched her fists, her eyes turning cold. “Understood.”

She didn’t stay any longer and left the conference room.

Ever since Old Master Zuo passed away, Si Fuqing’s luck had inexplicably improved.

At the same time, the Zuo family had not been as smooth-sailing as before.

Zuo Xianyu had never believed in anything supernatural, nor did she approve of Old Madam Zuo’s devout practices.

But she had heard of the idea of borrowing lifespan or luck.

Perhaps Si Fuqing had somehow taken the Zuo family’s fortune, and that was why her path in the entertainment industry kept getting smoother and wider.

Zuo Xianyu made a phone call. “Have you contacted the master from Sijiucheng?”

“Yes, everything has been arranged. He will arrive in Lincheng at the beginning of next month,” the person on the other end replied respectfully. “Miss Xianyu, rest assured. No matter what trouble the Zuo family is facing, the master will be able to resolve it.”

“Good,” Zuo Xianyu said. “There isn’t much time left. It must be handled as soon as possible.”

After ending the call, she pressed her temple and slowly let out a breath.

A few days ago, Old Madam Zuo had also invited a master to the Zuo residence. That master had only said one sentence—“What’s stolen will never last”—before hurriedly leaving.

He said nothing else, nor did he explain. Aside from scaring Old Madam Zuo so badly that she couldn’t sleep well for several days, it was just a waste of the Zuo family’s money.

Hopefully, the master from Sijiucheng this time would be of some use.

The next day, early in the morning.

Still half-asleep, Si Fuqing was dragged out of bed by Xiaobai biting her clothes. After washing up, she was shoved into the car.

It wasn’t until a hot meat bun woke her up completely.

-hot meat bun

She scratched her messy hair, took a bite of the bun, and then saw Shang Lu loading ingredients into the car, box after box.

Si Fuqing said slowly, “We’re going to survive, not go camping.”

“These are things Mr. Yu specifically told me to bring for you,” Shang Lu wiped his sweat. “He said the place is remote, and the food won’t be as good as at home, so we must bring some ingredients to nourish Miss Si.”
