"I’ve already given the instructions, don’t worry."

Those debt collectors were all sent by the bank. To call them off, she just needed to make another call to the bank manager.

"My sister really gets things done."

"Okay, stop with the flattery. Give me those reports, the latest viewership data, the analysis charts, and the documents that need signing."

"Oh, so you realize you need to work hard now, huh?" Ye Tianjing opened his bag and took out some documents. "These need your signature. As for the reports and such, they’re in my computer. I’ll send them to you later."

"Hmm." Ye Ranran took them.

Seeing the densely packed words on the papers, she felt dizzy.

But there was no choice; this was her work, something she had to complete.

Meanwhile, Zhao Xiao happily started packing her luggage at home.

Her mother watched her, looking conflicted. "Are you really going?"

"Of course. To win him over, I have to make this trip." Zhao Xiao vowed confidently.

"Is it worth it for a man?" her mother grumbled.

"Mom, haven’t I told you? He’s my ideal husband choice. As long as I marry him, our family will be connected to an influential family. That’s something many people envy."

"That’s all well and good, but it’s obvious he’s not interested in you," her mom still felt uneasy about the situation.

"Even if he’s not interested, I need to make him interested. Mom, didn’t they say? When a woman pursues a man, it’s like there’s only a thin veil in between. As long as there’s a hint of a chance, I can’t give up."

Seeing Zhao Xiao’s determination, her mom could only support her. "Alright then, when you get over there, take care of yourself and don’t push yourself too hard. If things don’t go well, just come back, okay?"

To be honest, she didn’t expect her daughter to achieve much; she just wanted her to be well.

That would satisfy her.

But her daughter had such big dreams, what could she do?

"Don’t worry, Mom. I’m grown up now. I can take care of myself." Zhao Xiao zipped up her luggage bag. "Remember what I told you. If anyone comes asking about me, act really angry and say you don’t acknowledge me as your daughter anymore, okay?"

"Got it, got it."

Her mom took out a few thousand yuan from her pocket. "I have some money here. Take it."

"No need, I have money." Zhao Xiao, as ungrateful as she might be, wasn’t at that point yet.

She was her parents’ only daughter, and she just wanted to find a good husband to ensure a better life for her parents in the future.

She was pretty clear that relying on herself wouldn’t bring much success; she needed to find a good husband.

Why else would she put in all this effort to get close to Ye Tianjing?

The Ye family was wealthy; even scratching the surface would be enough for her for a lifetime.

Isn’t that better than any amount of effort?

"Alright, Mom. I’m leaving. I’ll call you when I get there." Zhao Xiao waved goodbye to her mom.

Her mother walked her to the door, holding her hand and giving her countless reminders.

In the end, Zhao Xiao managed to break free by claiming she’d miss the bus.

Actually, she did feel a bit reluctant to leave her family. This was the first time she’d be away from home for so long, apart from her time at university.

Even then, she attended university in the city, so she could go home whenever she wanted.

This time, she was leaving for another city to meet someone else’s parents.
