Chapter 4: I Am the Crown Prince

Li Qian had clearly noticed the change in Qin Fan’s breathing. Her face flushed red, but she intentionally lowered herself, allowing Qin Fan to see her more clearly.

Qin Fan narrowed his eyes and grabbed Li Qian’s soft hand that was offered to him…

“President Qin, you can’t…”

Before Li Qian could finish speaking, Qin Fan had already pulled her into his arms. He said softly, “Obey me. From now on, you can not only be my secretary, but also be second-in-command in the company. Those like Director Zhao will never dare to yell at you again…”

Li Qian’s eyes were misty, and she almost involuntarily fell into Qin Fan’s embrace. However, perhaps driven by a woman’s last instinct, she softly asked, “President Qin, do you say this to every woman?”

“I only say this to women I have my eye on, women I truly like from the bottom of my heart. I am the future chairman of the CK Group. I don’t easily tell women that I want them. Once I say it, it means I will take responsibility for them!”

With Qin Fan’s words, Li Qian slumped into his arms. Qin Fan laughed heartily, picked up his new little secretary, and strode towards the lounge…

In the lavishly decorated bedroom, after several rounds of lovemaking, the man and woman lay comfortably on the wide bed. Li Qian’s fingers traced circles on Qin Fan’s broad chest, and she murmured, “President Fan, from now on, I am yours.”

“Call me Brother Fan when no one’s around, Qian Qian. I’m new to the company, so I may not be able to give you much right now. Just be my secretary and assist me with my work. I will notify the HR department to transfer your personnel records as soon as possible. Also, if you have any difficulties in life, you don’t need to tell me. You can use my authority to have the company resolve them for you. You are my woman, and I won’t let you suffer.”

Qin Fan hadn’t had many relationships, and he only knew a few lines to coax women. Moreover, he wouldn’t deceive women, so everything he said was sincere. However, what Qin Fan said was also the most practical truth. Why would Li Qian go to bed with him the first time they met? Besides his handsome appearance, the biggest factor was naturally his current status and wealth. By following him, Li Qian could live a better life.

When conceiving World-Class Ease, Qin Fan tried to make the characters more vivid, especially those other than the main male and female leads.

As expected, after hearing Qin Fan’s words, Li Qian’s face immediately lit up with a bright smile. It wasn’t that she was greedy for wealth, but rather she instinctively sought the sense of security that wealth brought. This was the deep-seated thought of most women.

About an hour later, Li Qian, dressed neatly, walked out of Qin Fan’s office. Qin Fan subtly conveyed a message to her: prepare to be promoted to secretary in a couple of days, and perhaps even promoted to general manager’s assistant in the future. Prepare well these days and find someone to take over your work.

In the plot, the female lead, Mu Qingyan, had just had a conflict with her boss and resigned. With Li Qian’s introduction, she would enter the CK Group headquarters and become a greeter. Then, she would have various encounters with Qin Fan and, by chance, become Qin Fan’s secretary.

During this process, Mu Qingyan would also reunite with Chen Feiyang, her childhood sweetheart whom she hadn’t seen in many years. A love triangle would then develop between these two excellent men.

When Qin Fan designed this plot, he mainly focused on melodrama, using all sorts of sensational elements. Therefore, the plot was always filled with misunderstandings, ambiguities, reversals, etc. But now that Qin Fan had become the male second lead, he would naturally not allow this to happen. Therefore, he decided to quickly push the plot forward, using Li Qian’s influence to first get Mu Qingyan into the company and then using Li Qian’s continuous promotion to change Mu Qingyan’s life.

Of course, this was just a minor plot change that Qin Fan made casually. In the “setting,” under the control of the system, the overall trend of the world would crush all plot influences. The male lead in the book had also encountered “familiar” fantasy plots. For example, one time the plot world was a derivative version of Heaven Sword and Dragon Sabre. The male lead desperately searched for the Nine Yang Manual and was prevented by various accidents. Entering the secret passage on Bright Summit also gave rise to various accidents. In the end, the plot didn’t change at all.

Qin Fan only sought to complete the permanent main quest, so he would only make some subtle plot changes that didn’t endanger himself and would never take too much risk for it.

After arranging everything for Li Qian, Qin Fan found the company’s HR records. He found a name on the branch’s personnel roster, recorded the number after that name in his phone, and then started his official work for the day.

The CK Group was strong, and its business spanned clothing, jewelry, chemicals, real estate, and other aspects. Qin Fan, who had just grasped the company’s power, needed a long time just to familiarize himself with these relationships.

Of course, in essence, as the company boss, he only needed to decide which talent to use in which area. However, Qin Fan, who was familiar with the plot, knew that the support of Chairman Chen and Director Mu was one aspect of why Chen Feiyang could win against Qin Fan in the plot. The support of the heads of various branches was also a major reason.

Winning the support of Chairman Chen and Director Mu would be a long-term task for Qin Fan, but obtaining the support of the heads of various branches was not difficult for Qin Fan.

Qin Fan worked until dusk before getting off work. By this time, he had stored the phone numbers of the heads of nine CK Group branches in his phone and had contacted five of them separately. Under the influence of the “crown prince” identity, Qin Fan easily gained the trust of these people.

Subsequently, Qin Fan made various promises of benefits to the five branch heads, deepening their relationship.

At 7 PM, Qin Fan left the company. After entering the Rolls-Royce, he instructed the driver to go to an address. After the car started, he picked up the phone and dialed a number.

“Hello, this is Qin Fan, general manager of CK Group headquarters.”

With Qin Fan’s introduction, after a brief silence on the other end of the phone, a middle-aged man’s flattering voice immediately sounded: “President Qin, hello, I am Wang Dong, general manager of CK Clothing. Is there anything I can do for you?”

“There are some company matters that I need to discuss with you. Is General Wang free tonight?”

“I’m free, I’m free!”

“Tonight at eight o’clock, I’ll wait for you in the lobby of the Jinhui Hotel,” Qin Fan said briefly.

“Jinhui Hotel? This…”

“What’s wrong? Is there any inconvenience?” A trace of unfathomable smile appeared on Qin Fan’s face.

“It’s nothing, it’s convenient! What time will President Qin arrive… um, I’ll pick you up.” The voice on the other end of the phone seemed a little flustered.

“Eight o’clock then. I still have some things to do. We’ll meet at the Jinhui Hotel.”

…

“What’s wrong? Your face is so ugly after answering a phone call?”

A soft voice sounded in his ear. Wang Dong frowned and looked at the woman in front of him, Li Yueli, his subordinate. She had only joined CK Clothing a month ago and had already been promoted to the design team leader. People in the company privately rumored that the two had an unspeakable intimate relationship, but Wang Dong could be said to have absolute power in the CK Clothing branch, so those rumors were naturally limited to just rumors.

But today, Wang Dong received a call from the company’s boss, agreeing to meet at the Jinhui Hotel. Coincidentally, his date with Li Yueli tonight was at the Jinhui Hotel. Not only that, Wang Dong had already booked a room in the hotel. After dinner, he wanted to have a good intimate exchange with his beautiful female subordinate. However, his mood had been ruined by Qin Fan’s phone call.

“It’s the company’s crown prince’s call. It might just be a coincidence. He asked me to meet him here. I almost blurted it out just now…”

“Then tonight…” The beauty opposite him looked stunned.

“I’m afraid I won’t have time tonight, Yueli, why don’t you go back first…” Wang Dong’s face was very ugly, and he had already cursed Qin Fan ten thousand times in his heart.

Just then, a loud voice entered the ears of the two people present.

“Wang Dong! Li Yueli!”

Along with this voice, a tall, exquisite-looking modern beauty walked aggressively towards the two of them.

Wang Dong was slightly stunned and muttered with a frown, “Why is it her!”

“What do we do, what do we do! I told you a long time ago to transfer her away quickly. Today, she probably deliberately followed us to get our hands on something!” Li Yueli panicked when she saw the person coming.

“What’s there to panic about? I’m the company’s boss. Is a small employee going to rebel?” Wang Dong scolded his companion, then sat up straight, greeted the person, and said in a deep voice:

“Mu Qingyan, you’ve been an old employee in the company for a while now, why are you still so reckless like before? I’m not at work now, so if there’s anything, let’s talk about it tomorrow!”

Mu Qingyan stared at the man in front of her. This man named Wang Dong was her superior’s superior, and because of this person, she was about to be unable to stay in the company. A year ago, she joined CK Clothing as an intern after graduation. She was unfamiliar with the people in the new company and suffered all kinds of exclusion. Originally, this was not a big deal. Mu Qingyan was confident that she could deepen her connections with her colleagues through the accumulation of time, so as to stabilize herself in the new job.

But the problem was Mu Qingyan’s beauty. The lustful Wang Dong started pursuing her from the first time he saw her. After being rejected by Mu Qingyan, he began to use various methods to pester Mu Qingyan. Finding that Mu Qingyan ignored him, he simply changed his tactics and began to attack Mu Qingyan in various ways, intending to make her submit to his authority.

Especially this time, the company’s new intern, after just passing a month’s internship, actually quickly jumped to become the design team leader, surpassing those who came before her, and stealing the position that originally belonged to Mu Qingyan. Today, seeing these two people staying together so intimately, Mu Qingyan didn’t know what was going on. In a fit of anger, she shouted out loud.
