In an instant, the camera lights flashed over them, illuminating the scene as the photos were captured, immortalizing Zhang Wei's act of kindness and spreading it across the internet like wildfire.

Lisa, caught off guard by the sudden attention, let out a sigh before a man emerged from the crowd, clad in a sharp black suit, his laughter echoing. "Haha, Chairman is truly as magnanimous as the rumors suggest! Everyone, listen up! Whoever garners the most likes on their post will be in line for a promotion," announced Huang Ren, the flamboyant CEO of Tianyi Entertainment.

"Yaaaay!"

"Chairman Zhang's heart knows no bounds!"

"The Chairman's heart is as elastic as rubber!"

"Bless the Chairman!"

"Chairman, please accept my daughter as your goddaughter! She would thrive under your guidance!"

"Haha, Chairman! Treat my wife as your second daughter!"

"Hail to the Chairman!"

Huang Ren's booming voice whipped the crowd into a frenzy, the flashes intensifying with each cheer. "Chairman, why didn't you inform me of your visit? I would have arranged a warmer reception," Huang Ren remarked, signaling subtly. "And what about the five girls from last time? Shall I summon them?" he whispered in a conspiratorial tone.

Mo Yuxin trailed behind them in silence, her cheeks flushing at the sound of their voices echoing through the hallway. As they reached the elevator, Zhang Wei shook his head, watching as Lisa slipped inside, exhaling a relieved sigh amidst the chaos of the crowd.

"Hm? Lisa didn't tell you I was coming?" Zhang Wei's memory was crystal clear; he distinctly recalled informing Lisa of his impending arrival.

"Huh?" Huang Ren scratched his head, a nervous bead of sweat forming on his brow. "Haha, Chairman, I was just joking. Miss Lisa did tell me, I simply forgot. It seems my memory needs some guidance from you in the future," he chuckled nervously, attempting to cover up his lapse.

How could he dare to imply Lisa hadn't informed him?

Of course she hadn't!

But the boss is always right!

And the boss's woman, she's formidable!

He couldn't risk offending either of them.

Little did Huang Ren know, the woman he chose to one day become Zhang Wei's secretary would one day become his greatest source of fear.

Zhang Wei brought the lift to an abrupt stop. "Well, since you're so eager for guidance, how about we take the stairs to the top? It might give your old brain a much-needed workout."

'Fuck!' Huang Ren cursed inwardly. They were only on the second floor, and now he was being subjected to climbing all the way to the top by stairs? What kind of inhumane punishment was this?

Although Huang Ren wanted to voice his complaints, he could only muster a dejected look as he followed along.

Pftt...

As the lift doors closed once more, Lisa couldn't contain her laughter. "Zhang Wei, you're too cruel. CEO Ren was just trying to earn your favor."

Zhang Wei nodded. "You can join him too and take the stairs at the third floor."

"..." Lisa's expression faltered.

Meanwhile, Mo Yuxin's eyes darted between them, unable to suppress a bitter smile, as they finally reached the fourteenth floor and stepped into Zhang Wei's meticulously crafted sanctuary.

________

Zhang Wei, far from being displeased with the company's current trajectory, had only a few details to iron out. After doing so, he dismissed Huang Ren. Lisa, in the midst of sharing her recent strides, was abruptly stopped by Zhang Wei. With a tone of finality, he announced, "I'll be leaving the city once more in a few days. Let's pause your initiatives regarding Xu Qing for the moment."

Caught off guard by his sudden directive, Lisa simply nodded, her fingers not ceasing their dance across his shoulders as Zhang Wei sank deeper into the plush embrace of his office chair.

"Focus here; it's particularly tense," he directed, a slight grimace betraying the discomfort he felt.

"Hm? Right here?" Lisa inquired, her expression blending intrigue and doubt as she probed the knots in his muscles with her slender, adept fingers.

"Exactly there," Zhang Wei confirmed, his voice a mix of relief and command.

Zhang Wei adopted a look of deep reflection, reminiscent of an ancient philosopher, before displaying the numbers four and three with his fingers.

"?? Were you working until 3 or 4 in the morning?" Lisa couldn't help but wonder aloud.

Shaking his head, Zhang Wei's response was cryptic, "It involved four individuals the day before yesterday, and three yesterday."

Lisa's mind raced, 'Three, four? What does he even mean?'

Mo Yuxin, who had been silently observing from a distance, perched on a couch with a mix of nervousness and hesitation, remained a quiet spectator to their cryptic conversation.

With a slight smirk, Zhang Wei finally clarified, "It's four and three women! Not just any people."

"Hm?" Lisa's confusion quickly morphed into shock, her cheeks blossoming into a deep crimson at the hint of unholy.

'That's too many!' she screamed inwardly, her mind in shock from the sudden enlightenment.

Zhang Wei's lips curved into a knowing smile, a look that carried secrets and amusement. Across from him, Mo Yuxin caught the tail end of their exchange, her cheeks also tinted with embarrassment as she tried to avert his teasing gaze.

"Mo Yuxin, is that your name?" he asked, his voice carrying an hint of authority.

!!

Mo Yuxin, feeling the intensity of the moment, turned towards him and nodded. "Mhm.."

"Your brother, what happened to him?" Zhang Wei inquired, his tone laced with feigned innocence, as if probing into a delicate matter.

"You—" Mo Yuxin's words caught in her throat, almost accusing him of a grave action, 'you put him into jail,' but she restrained herself, choosing her words with care.

"He got... Caught for an attack on a hospital, and is suspected... They won't release him no matter what..." Her voice trailed off, a mix of anger and despair in her eyes.

The hospital in question had been reduced to ashes and rubble, and should the allegations prove true, her brother would face a fate worse than any imprisonment.

Her mother, already a shadow of her former self from the grief, had abandoned all hope for Mo Chen.

After learning of his alleged involvement in such a horrific act—

taking innocent lives—she ceased her efforts to secure his release.

But Mo Yuxin harbored doubts, a gnawing suspicion that the truth was being manipulated, and that Zhang Wei's involvement was more than what met the eye.
