My Perfect Female CEO

Chapter 1569: Crisis and Opportunity Coexist

The Hunter Cat used all his skills, trying to win Yang Yan’s affection.

As for the result, let’s leave that aside for now.

Speaking of the man who was like a thorn in the Hunter Cat’s throat, Mr. Jin.

Qian Weiwei partnered with someone to open a clinic, and this partner was none other than Li Tong’s mother, Li Dingguo’s wife, Mother Li.

On this day, when Mother Li arrived at the clinic, Qian Weiwei was already busy.

"Good morning, Sister Qian. I brought breakfast, have some before you start working," Mother Li said warmly.

In front of Mother Li, Qian Weiwei seemed like a workaholic. Once she got into work, she would forget to eat or rest. Thus, Mother Li took care of Qian Weiwei’s daily needs from time to time, but all this was actually an act put on by Qian Weiwei.

Qian Weiwei stretched lazily, her slightly tired face full of smiles as she apologized, "I always have you bring breakfast, it’s really embarrassing. Once or twice is fine, but over time, I feel so ashamed. I’ve suggested we raise your share of the profits a little, but you refuse, so how can I keep eating your food for free?"

"Why be so polite with me? We’re partners, after all. Eighty percent of the clinic’s income is due to your hard work. I’ve already earned a lot from my share. If you start fussing over a few meals, how can I live?" Mother Li chided.

"The clinic is co-founded by us; the profit share is stipulated in the contract, yet you always elevate me. Once I get busy, I can’t attend to other things and often skip work. You’re the one maintaining the clinic’s operations on your own. How can I not feel guilty?" Qian Weiwei said, feeling very remorseful.

"Since it’s our clinic, it’s our duty to manage it well. The profit share is fixed, so let’s not bring up those out-of-place remarks." Mother Li said generously.

After both sincerely and seriously expressing their thoughts, they exchanged smiles and moved on from the topic.

Qian Weiwei unabashedly said, "Some medicines on the shelf are out of stock, could you fetch some from the storage? I’ve already prepared the medication list."

"Got it," Mother Li replied, getting into the workflow.

After a day of seeing guests in and out, Mother Li extended an invitation, saying, "In a week, it’s my husband’s birthday. We’ve prepared a small soirée. I hope you can come and join us for a lively time."

"Isn’t that inconvenient?" Qian Weiwei hesitantly said, "Besides you, I don’t know anyone else. If I actually go, with everyone enjoying themselves, I’d be the odd one out. Plus, you’ve mentioned your husband’s job a bit; it involves a secret unit. Wouldn’t an outsider like me be out of place there?"

Her strategy was clearly to feign refusal while actually desiring to attend Li Dingguo’s birthday party, though she couldn’t openly show this desire and instead had to awkwardly refuse.

"There’s nothing inconvenient about it. We’ve run this clinic for over three years now, haven’t we? Aren’t we familiar with each other?" Mother Li said with enthusiastic persistence, "With me there, how could you be left out? You need to attend some lively places sometimes. Being alone all the time can make you sick."

"But..." Qian Weiwei started to refuse again, but Mother Li decisively interrupted, "It’s decided then. No backing out."

"Alright then," Qian Weiwei reluctantly agreed.

"Just come by then; no need to bring any gifts. My husband already knows I have a partner and wants to meet you. Just treat it like attending a family dinner; don’t feel pressured," Mother Li advised.

"I’ll follow your lead," Qian Weiwei said, much more at ease.

In truth, her heart couldn’t help but quicken with excitement.

Being able to attend this birthday party up-close under the guise of a friend of Mother Li’s, she would gain a lot, which would prove unexpectedly beneficial for her future work.

There was also an urgent goal: to see if the Hunter Cat could complete his task. Otherwise, those about to become her enemies would need to be faced head-on.

...

Li Dingguo’s birthday party stirred quite a buzz within the research institute and the action group.

After all, the head of the research institute was Li Dingguo, while Ye Fan was the former leader of the action group, and Li Tong.

Such an important day tugged at many people’s hearts.

This party was something the organization intentionally wanted to hold.

For this reason, Zhang Jiefang, who was fully responsible for the external espionage activities, together with Director Luo coordinating, sought out Ye Fan, responsible for all espionage matters, and stated the stakes very clearly.

Hosting such a high-profile birthday party would definitely alert the enemy, and there was a concern that they might cause disruption. If there were any lapses in preventative work, it would result in a huge loss.

Given that the enemy lurks in the shadows, if they come out to cause trouble this time, it would also present a good chance. As long as preventative measures are taken, luring the snake out of its hole could be an opportunity.

The action group desperately needed such a chance, to find an opportunity to eliminate as many hidden enemies as possible, this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

However, with opportunity also came significant risks.

Most of the people attending Li Dingguo’s birthday party were top talents from the research institute. These elites held knowledge and skills in their respective fields, and their loss would be irreparable.

So, this was a risky move.

The action group called a general meeting of all its members, with Ye Fan and company in attendance.

Ye Fan liked taking risks, and both Zhang Jiefang and Director Luo were also in favor of taking a gamble, trusting in Ye Fan’s capabilities.

Unlike them, Ye Fan deliberately wanted to lure the snake out of the hole.

Missing out on such a good opportunity would be unthinkable.

"Everyone knows what kind of setting President Li’s birthday party will be, and we can’t afford to be sloppy. If anything goes wrong, it will be on us. Thus, handling the security work for this event relies on our concerted effort," Ye Fan said with a commanding tone, addressing everyone.

With one week to go until the birthday party, the action group had to start preparations early.

All tasks and security strategies required a carefully detailed plan to support them.

No part could go wrong. If the enemy found any opportunity, it would become a fatal flaw.

Ye Fan’s words were clear to everyone, and they took them to heart.

"Don’t be too pressured. Crisis also means opportunity. As long as we seize the right moment, those hidden enemies will become easy targets. You just need to do your job and have no worries," Ye Fan stated objectively.

The meeting lasted for an hour.

After it concluded, Ye Fan instructed, "Li Tong is responsible for vetting the guest list on the invitations; make sure not to miss a single name and clarify the information on each. Zhang Lu will handle everything related to the banquet venue."

The action group started its operations for the first time.

Previously, with internal disagreements due to traitors, there were too many conflicts within the action group. Now, there was no need for such concerns.
