Chapter 509: Chapter 509

After the video call ended, Yun Ran uncharacteristically remained silent for a long while.

She probably never expected that what started as a mere habit of saving people would lead to this.

Inadvertently, she found herself a reliable connection; this should be called an unintended stroke of luck.

The Ginsengfruit next to her also felt a slight pressure, realizing Gu Yuan was incredibly capable, making him determined to outperform Gu Yuan in the future.

"Get ready, we should head back to Hai City and also take a look at Qingfeng Temple on our way."

Currently completed is just the framework; the true essence of Qingfeng Temple lies in those secretive prohibitions.

When she initially discussed this deal with the head of the logistics department, she thought it would be quite an achievement for Qingfeng Temple to be built in three months.

She truly didn’t expect the head of the logistics department to scrape together all resources and fully support the establishment of Qingfeng Temple.

Now, Gu Yuan has even arranged most of the grand opening ceremony for her.

This indeed saved Yun Ran a lot of trouble. Once back, she only needed to set the corresponding prohibitions for the completed Qingfeng Temple.

The next day, Yun Ran returned to Hai City with the Ginsengfruit.

Driver Old Liu had been waiting at the airport early, and upon seeing Yun Ran from afar, his face was all smiles.

Seeing Old Liu’s smile, Yun Ran knew that quite a few things must have happened during her absence from Hai City.

After getting into the car, she directly asked, "What’s the matter, just say it."

Old Liu immediately felt proud, knowing their young lady had such keen insight.

He then started explaining the events that had transpired during this period.

Initially, someone set their sights on Ran Mansion; after all, this location was a status symbol, even envious to many aristocratic families.

If Yun Ran hadn’t quickly and decisively grasped the leverage and if not for the tacit approval from the Xie Family behind her, Ran Mansion would never have landed in her hands.

Seeing Yun Ran ’choosing the wrong side’ and losing power, naturally, some wanted to seize Ran Mansion.

But due to Yun Ran’s status as a member of the Xuan Sect, most people didn’t dare to act rashly and waited for Yun Ran to leave before they started making moves.

Who would have thought that just a few days after Yun Ran left, she would align with people from the Wang Family, thwarting all these plans.

Now, with Xie Xuzhi openly revealing his identity as the Young Master of the Xie Family, those who had ideas about Ran Mansion were scared out of their wits.

As a result, one by one, they sent lavish gifts to Ran Mansion.

As for why they didn’t wait until Yun Ran returned to send gifts, it was naturally due to lacking confidence.

So, taking the opportunity of Yun Ran’s absence, they hurried to make amends and apologize first.

Once Yun Ran returned, if she wanted to settle accounts, it would be considered breaking the circle’s rules.

Now, Old Liu, as Yun Ran’s exclusive driver, has seen his status in Hai City rise sharply.

After explaining the prelude, Old Liu carefully continued, "I dared not accept those gifts at first, but the Young Master came by and reassured us, so we accepted their gifts."

If not for Yun Ran’s phone being off all this time, making her unreachable, Old Liu wouldn’t have directly sought out Yun Jinyang.

Hearing Yun Ran’s calm voice, the heavy stone in Old Liu’s heart instantly settled.

Back at Ran Mansion, seeing the booklet brought by the butler, Yun Ran was a bit surprised by the immense generosity of these people.

The butler respectfully stood by the sofa, watching as Yun Ran placed the booklet on the coffee table after finishing her look.

The butler quickly added, "These were all presented under the guise of housewarming gifts."

Yun Ran didn’t mind the pretext of these gifts as these people were keen on saving face.

Calling it compensation would be too humiliating, so they found a suitable reason for gifting.

Receiving the benefits, Yun Ran, striving to establish herself in Hai City with the Yun Family behind her, didn’t want to make things too embarrassing for the other party.

"However they present it, just accept it as such. You may go now."

The butler immediately understood, "Okay."

After the butler left, the Ginsengfruit stepped forward and began perusing the gift booklet.

Just seeing the valuable fixed assets and jewelry was impressive enough, not to mention the well-performing company shares.

Now he understood why the Host was willing to grant them some face.

Having just emptied her wallet, Yun Ran was now flush again, which naturally put her in a good mood, making her more amenable.

"After all this hustle, I can finally take a good rest for a while."

There were still very few people at Ran Mansion; when Yun Ran got up, virtually no one could be seen in this main building.

This suited the quiet-loving Yun Ran perfectly.

Yun Jinyang, having taken on a project from the Wang Family, was too busy to split his attention; even knowing Yun Ran had returned, he couldn’t find the time to drop by.

However, knowing that Yun Ran’s Qingfeng Temple was completed, he directly sent a capable assistant to help Yun Ran handle some of the trivial matters.

Yun Ran finally recalled that she had accepted a little follower during the Xuanmen Competition and decided it was time to call him to work.

Back in the countryside, Xin Fu remained exceptionally composed during this period.

Even though many said that Yun Ran had lost her standing and that switching allegiances would be the best choice, he remained unwavering.

Even his junior, who had always sided with him, began to distance himself due to his ’lack of ambition’, yet Xin Fu remained steadfast in his belief in Yun Ran.

That was until the Special Administration Bureau’s new appointments were announced, along with the news of Yun Ran’s Qingfeng Temple being constructed.

Those who had previously doubted Xin Fu immediately changed their tune.

"I always said that Xin Fu was a good kid, having watched him grow up. His calm nature will surely attract the attention of prominent figures."

"Exactly, you young ones should learn from your senior brother, avoid being overly ambitious; important people dislike capriciousness the most." Thᴇ link to the origɪn of this information rᴇsts ɪn novel•fire.net

"Our small remote sect can now finally boast some connections."

"Xin Fu, when you make it big, don’t forget us. If it weren’t for us letting you use resources, how else would you have had such a good opportunity!"

Listening to these words, Xin Fu felt no emotional ripples. Previously, he might have retorted sharply and shown them.

But after witnessing more formidable people, he had become much more composed, with his Dao Heart more resolute than ever.

Initially, everyone thought Xin Fu would soon leave, but even after more than half a month, there was no news at all.

Those who thought Xin Fu had hitched his wagon to a star immediately started sour remarks again.
