Sister Lan was about to pick up the phone to report to Ou Yunchen what Wang Ziran had said, but for some reason, she couldn't press the call button.
Sister Lan did not want to see Ou Yunchen fail. Her mission was to stay by Ou Yunchen's side as someone who could provide help at any time. Different divisions of labor allowed this team to develop rapidly.
Only when Ou Yunchen's strength was sufficient could he confront the Tang Empire.
As for why not use Colin directly, I presume any intelligent person would know that Colin was a failed product of the previous generation's grievances. His residual strength was not enough to contend with the current Tang Empire.
Therefore, he had to start anew, letting the one who sat in the Tang's position...
Crystal: "Mr. Ou..."
Ou Yunchen: "You don't need to give me an answer now. I just want to tell you that falling in the same place is truly disgraceful."
Crystal clutched the job application contract, her voice trembling even as she offered her thanks.
As Ou Yunchen had said, although Xu Shuming had shattered her romantic fantasies, he had taught her how to excel at her job.
Ultimately, she had learned many skills from Xu Shuming!

—Ou Yunchen's Recollection—
Lawyer Ma: "Crystal is Xu Shuming's secretary?"
Ou Yunchen: "Yes, her coming to ATL is exactly as you thought."
Lawyer Ma: "Why did she voluntarily submit her resignation?"
Ou Yunchen: "She has been abandoned by Xu Shuming."
Lawyer Ma: "Then she's from Xu Shuming's side too. Why didn't you dismiss her earlier if you knew?"
Ou Yunchen: "She is now on our side."
Lawyer Ma: "You... a double-cross?"
Ou Yunchen: "I just made Crystal see Xu Shuming for who he is. She still foolishly believes Xu Shuming will marry her."
Lawyer Ma: "What? She's also Xu Shuming's mistress?!"
Ou Yunchen: "Women are indeed easy to deceive. One unfulfilled promise can make them follow loyally. In Xu Shuming's eyes, the youth these women sacrifice is worthless."
Lawyer Ma: "Still, she should leave immediately. I don't want to employ someone like her who lacks morals."
Ou Yunchen: "Not only will I not dismiss her, but I won't let her go either. I will even promote her!"
Lawyer Ma: "Why? Don't be fooled by her looks. Women like her are the best at seducing their superiors!"
Ou Yunchen: "Because she knows too much about the Su Corporation. Xu Shuming should not have given up on her. It's a pity that lust makes him lose his clarity."
Lawyer Ma: "Her resignation now suggests she doesn't want us to use her, right? Does she still have feelings for Xu Shuming?"
Ou Yunchen: "Don't worry. Xu Shuming is completely under the control of the people I've arranged. As long as Xu Shuming dares to marry a second wife, Crystal's mouth will be forced open by me if necessary!"
