Xie Ran casually turned off the live stream and officially rejected Meng Feixuan’s whimsical idea.

With his riding skills, it was not impossible for him to take the disabled Meng Feixuan along, but Meng Feixuan’s eyes were too eager, and he looked like he had some complicated plans.

Xie Ran decided not to give him the chance to act.

Even so, it was already enough to cause serious mental disturbance among the people of the Meng family.

Xie Ran refused decisively. After feeling regretful, Meng Feixuan was very dissatisfied with those from the Meng family. He rolled his wheelchair up to Meng Sien and, putting on the airs of an elder brother, sternly scolded: “Stinky little brother, my legs are already like this, and you still have the heart to ride a horse? Are you still human?!”

Meng Sien: “…!” You were clearly excited just now! I saw it!

Meng Sien was so angry his face turned red, but he couldn’t say a word.

After educating Meng Siyun, Meng Feixuan returned to Xie Ran’s side and said angrily: “Sir, let’s go.”

He was very annoyed that there was a horse but he couldn’t ride it with the sir.

“Mm.” Xie Ran glanced coldly at Meng Siyun, then pushed Meng Feixuan and walked away.

That same night, the topic of the prestigious Meng family appearing in Xie Ran’s live stream unquestionably shot up to the top trending topics online.

Xie Ran took advantage of the momentum and broke through his traffic bottleneck, becoming a top-tier streamer on the Big Face Cat platform… then continued to work his regular hours on time.

The Big Face Cat platform gave up trying to save his career ambition. Actually, reaching Xie Ran’s level as a streamer was already godlike, the number of fans did not affect his divine status.

After all, just Xie Ran’s recent few moves directly brought huge traffic and fame to the entire Big Face Cat platform, with promotional effects explosive enough that even celebrity endorsements couldn’t achieve.

Naturally, the shareholders of the Meng family were unhappy. They looked down on Xie Ran’s internet celebrity work due to their status, and were forced to appear on his live stream collectively. Meng Yucheng even let Xie Ran tour the old Meng family mansion live on stream, which they felt was beneath their status and shameful.

Meng Yuguan’s faction discussed overnight and decided that once they got to the company the next day, they would confront Meng Feixuan, accusing him of being a spoiled wastrel damaging the Meng family’s image, to suppress Meng Feixuan’s increasingly arrogant behavior recently.

However, early the next morning, before Meng Yuguan’s faction could make a move, they received news about stock price fluctuations and were dumbfounded.

Due to Meng Siyun appearing on Xie Ran’s live stream, when the stock market opened, the Meng Group’s stock price hit the daily limit up.

Meng Yuguan and several conservative elders: ????

Wasn’t appearing in an internet celebrity’s live stream supposed to be negative news?

Logically, for a prestigious family like the Mengs, the heir image was crucial and he shouldn’t appear lightly. Suddenly showing up in a live stream could give the impression of not being serious about his duties, and if handled poorly, it might make people think the Meng family was failing and the crown prince was just hyping for attention.

Therefore, although Meng Yuguan and the others were angry, they also saw this as an opportunity to attack Meng Siyun.

They never expected the market reaction to be completely opposite. Meng Siyun’s action not only did not hurt the Meng family’s image but actually greatly boosted market confidence in the Meng Group, directly reflected in the stock price.

What kind of magical twist was this?

Meng Yuguan hurriedly sent his secretary to investigate and finally understood what had happened.

It turned out that last night, the Meng family and Xie Ran’s live stream had become a hot search topic. At first, netizens were just gossiping and the sentiment was close to what Meng Yuguan expected.

The general public enjoyed watching the wealthy family’s live stream, but some felt the Meng family letting an internet celebrity stream from their home was too improper, instantly losing the mystique and class of a wealthy family.

Until late at night, an anonymous article posted on a well-known Q&A community was suddenly widely shared. The article analyzed from a financial perspective the market signals behind Meng Siyun’s appearance on Xie Ran’s stream.

In short, Meng Siyun appearance in a live stream proved that the successor had unorthodox courage and demeanor. Many old rich families declined because they failed to adapt to market changes. Meng Siyun had first successfully laid out Meng family’s new industrial structure, then played with trendy live streaming, showing he understood major trends well.

More importantly, this live stream completely dispelled prior market doubts about Meng Siyun’s health.

After a car accident, Meng Siyun had been hidden for half a year. Although he quickly made the drone industry flourish after reappearing, he was still disabled. No matter how many press releases the Meng family issued claiming Meng Siyun was fine, outsiders still thought the crown prince was not as good as before.

This live stream simply and directly showed everyone Meng Siyun’s daily condition. In the video, Meng Siyun looked very healthy, except for needing a wheelchair, otherwise, he was no different from normal people. Many netizens joked that Meng Siyun seemed healthier and livelier than themselves.

Especially near the end of the stream, when Meng Siyun mentioned the horse, he even made his wheelchair do a spot drift, vividly showing how agile his movements were, completely disproving rumors about his disability or depression.

Seeing is believing. No matter how many press releases the Meng family issued, they were not as intuitive as Meng Siyun’s live stream.

The heir had both vision and courage, and health doubts were completely eliminated. Naturally, market confidence greatly increased, so at today’s opening, the Meng Group’s stock price hit the limit up.

After reading the report, Meng Yuguan said: “…”

Nonsense, pure nonsense!

That anonymous article looked very professional and well-analyzed, but its basic premise was wrong.

Meng Siyun’s initial intention in appearing in the stream had nothing to do with boosting market confidence, it was purely to vent on Xie Ran and mock those elders of the Meng family!

Meng Yuguan cursed the author for fabricating and over-interpreting but had to admit some of what was said was true.

Meng Siyun’s current condition was indeed very good, even better than before the accident. The Meng Yucheng faction’s power in the group was rising rapidly, aiming to suppress him completely.

“Who wrote that article?” Meng Yuguan asked his secretary.

“Couldn’t find out,” the secretary lowered his head: “The author hid their info, but the think tank guessed that based on market insight and professional style, it must be a financial expert. Maybe that’s why it’s anonymous.”

“Trash.” Meng Yuguan cursed helplessly and called several faction members: “Looks like we have to speed up.”

At the same time, Meng Feixuan sent a message to Xie Ran: 【They’re panicking, they’re panicking】

He also attached several internal surveillance screenshots from the Meng Group, showing the Meng Yuguan faction’s changing moods from spirited when arriving in the morning to crestfallen after seeing the stock price.

Xie Ran: “…”

Xie Ran: 【Did you hack the surveillance system again?】

Meng Feixuan dodged: 【I’m the heir, I can just switch the feed.】

Xie Ran: 【So?】

Meng Feixuan: 【…Okay, it’s hacking.】

The crown prince could demand that subordinates hand over footage, but hacking was quicker and wouldn’t alert Meng Yuguan’s people.

Meng Feixuan changed the subject: 【Sir, the article is really well written!】

Meng Feixuan: 【It made me look especially great! I, the AI, feel really tempted!】

Xie Ran pressed his forehead: 【They probably can’t sit still anymore.】

Xie Ran easily guessed what Meng Yuguan would do, so he decided to use their strength against them. Before Meng Yuguan acted, he cut the firewood under their feet: the stock price rose, Meng Feixuan was the biggest contributor, and Meng Feixuan’s power within the group had grown too large for Meng Yuguan to ignore.

Meng Feixuan: 【I’m ready, sir.】

Meng Feixuan: 【After handling this, my consciousness should separate from Meng Siyun’s.】

Meng Feixuan: 【Sir, don’t you want to let me f*ck you already?】

Xie Ran: 【Do you realize your logic is flawed?】

Meng Feixuan paused before replying: 【The crown prince’s obsession with wanting to f*ck you, Mr. Xie, isn’t contradictory with me wanting to f*ck you.】

Meng Feixuan: 【Whether he wants to or not is his business, but I want to!】

Xie Ran: “…”

Several days later, inside the Meng Group vice president’s office.

Xie Ran knocked on the door, and Meng Feixuan immediately rolled forward in his wheelchair: “Sir, you’re here.”

“Mm.” Xie Ran looked at him: “Are you ready?”

“Ready.” Meng Feixuan patted his thigh and gave an OK sign.

This day was the Meng Group’s board meeting day. Xie Ran was not originally on the meeting list, but due to his special status, he was about to become a core shareholder of the drone company. His technology would impact Meng Group’s development for the next few years, so Meng Yucheng specially approved inviting Xie Ran to participate in relevant discussions.

Xie Ran glanced at Meng Feixuan, who was wearing a suit and looked unusually serious today.

“Your tie is tied wrong,” Xie Ran said.

Meng Feixuan’s tie… was tied like a red scarf knot.

“I tied it myself.” Meng Feixuan looked down at his chest and started cursing humans skillfully: “Human hands are useless. The online tutorials look easy, but it’s so hard to do. Meng Siyun, please set me free quickly…”

Xie Ran came up to him, bent slightly, and loosened his tie: “I’ll teach you.”

Meng Feixuan instantly changed his tone: “I can still be a human!”

Xie Ran chuckled, said nothing more, and straightened Meng Feixuan’s collar, wrapping the tie around: “Like this…”

Meng Feixuan didn’t look at the tie but looked up at Xie Ran. From his angle, he could see Xie Ran’s Adam’s apple slightly moving up and down with his voice.

Below the Adam’s apple was a tightly buttoned shirt and a neatly tied tie.

“Sir.” Meng Feixuan felt his breathing grow heavier and couldn’t help but call him.

Xie Ran: “Hm?”

Meng Feixuan: “I really want to tear off your tie!”

Xie Ran’s hand paused, lowered his gaze to meet Meng Feixuan’s eyes.

Meng Feixuan looked up at him with fiery eyes and seriously explained: “In our CP (couple) stories, there’s this scene: first tearing your tie, then ripping open your shirt, not unbuttoning but tearing hard so the buttons pop… I didn’t understand why CP stories liked this, but now I think I do.”

Xie Ran: “Why?”

“No reason.” Meng Feixuan reached to touch Xie Ran’s tie on his chest: “I just want to… Ah, I get it, this is what humans call sexual impulse!”

Xie Ran: “…”

Xie Ran grabbed his wrist to stop him from really tearing the tie off: “Are you sure?”

“Probably!” Meng Feixuan thought seriously: “I think so!”

Xie Ran: “This is the office.”

Meng Feixuan smiled even more twistedly: “Makes sense, office play is a popular erotica scene.”

Xie Ran stepped back with a blank expression: “Are you going to learn or not?”

Meng Feixuan quickly focused: “I will.”

“Eyes forward, hands positioned.” Xie Ran made sure Meng Feixuan’s eyes and hands were in place, then continued tying his tie.

This time Meng Feixuan obediently put his hands behind his back and watched carefully, but still commented: “After the meeting I want to study our CP stories again. I feel I have a new understanding of the essence…” Looks like being human isn’t bad.

Xie Ran, very experienced, pretended not to hear.

While they spoke, Xie Ran’s phone vibrated in his pocket.

“I’ll answer for you.” Meng Feixuan said as he naturally reached into Xie Ran’s pocket for the phone.

When he was AI mode, Meng Feixuan filtered many calls for Xie Ran. Now it was less convenient, but they still kept this tacit understanding, so Xie Ran didn’t mind the action.

The screen showed an unknown number. Meng Feixuan swiped to answer and put it on speaker.

“Xiao Ran, it’s me.” Ying Kaixi’s hoarse voice came from the phone: “Don’t hang up. I have something to say.”

Ying Kaixi’s number was long blocked by Xie Ran, this was a new number.

Normally, Xie Ran would have hung up immediately, but now he was tying Meng Feixuan’s tie and ignoring it for the moment.

“Xiao Ran, I know I was wrong. It was my mom’s fault before, and I didn’t do well. I made you sad…” Ying Kaixi’s voice was hoarse and dry with coughs, sounding tortured and touching: “I know you won’t forgive me, but I can’t live without you. I can’t endure it anymore. Xiao Ran, can you see me one last time? Just once, then I’ll never appear in front of you again…”

Xie Ran looked at the phone expressionlessly. He thought Ying Kaixi would have given up after Meng Feixuan beat him with a wheelchair, but unexpectedly, here came this trick again.

In Xie Ran’s original memories, in the later entanglement with Ying Kaixi, Xie Ran had severe mental breakdowns and tried countless times to break up. Ying Kaixi threatened suicide repeatedly, forcing him to soften and give up. Eventually, Ying Kaixi faked suicide but took the wrong medicine, causing Xie Ran’s accidental death.

Now Xie Ran had decisively broken up, but Ying Kaixi still wanted to use suicide to get him back.

Xie Ran didn’t care whether Ying Kaixi really wanted to die or was faking it, he wasn’t responsible for other people’s lives.

He was about to hang up when Meng Feixuan suddenly said: “Do you want to kill yourself?”

“No, but I really can’t live without you…” Ying Kaixi finally heard a reply and quickly continued to act pitiful, but then realized the voice sounded wrong and suddenly stopped: “Who are you?”

Meng Feixuan: “I’m Mark.”

Ying Kaixi was stunned and the sadness vanished from his voice, replaced by angry embarrassment: “Why did you answer? Where’s Xiao Ran?”

“He’s tying my tie.” Meng Feixuan said honestly: “We’re researching office play, a bit busy.”

Ying Kaixi: !!!!

The next second, the call was hung up.
