?Phone reading Tap, tap, tap... Hearing the knock at the door, Qin Feng lifted his head from browsing a beautiful woman's webpage, "Please come in. Eight-zero E-book." It was rare for him to take a break—unless it was to drop off the lady he'd been accompanying to work, he wouldn't have shown up here today. Who could it be? Everyone was busy welcoming visiting executives. Could it be Hou Bao? Probably, in the entire building, few people would be as relaxed as he was—only Hou the old man, perhaps. To his surprise, it was Lu Man, the stunning lady, who entered. Today she wore a smoky eye makeup, her large eyes sparkling with charm. She wore a white half-sleeve suit jacket with black fabric strips at the collar and pocket areas, and beneath it, a black off-shoulder dress that revealed her snow-white neck. She wore a platinum necklace, and the dress covered only halfway down her legs. Beneath two elegant legs clad in sheer tights, stood a pair of polished black heels with 12-centimeter heels adorned with waterstones, the front shaped like a fish's mouth, revealing a few playful toes. How could it be her? She wasn't supposed to be accompanying the beautiful CEO to greet the executives, right? "Little romance, what's on your mind?" asked Qin, in his slightly aloof tone. Among all the women in this building, aside from Mei Hui and Fang Fang, the only one who truly captured his interest was the one now walking gracefully toward him—Luo Man. His attitude only fueled the growing resentment among the single female employees. Luo Man gently opened her lips, speaking in a sweet, melodic voice: "Qin Director, both the Secretary and Wang Mayor have specifically requested your presence, and even Ms. Mei has personally asked you to come—what do you think?" From the deep smoky makeup in her eyes, he could see clear signs of fatigue—numerous blood vessels standing out. No doubt, the young manager, Luo Man, hadn't slept well last night. What exactly had kept her up? In fact, Qin's rest period wasn't very long. If it weren't for the several large circulation cycles of his internal qi that he guided before leaving the bed, he'd surely have more bloodshot eyes than she did. Seeing him staring blankly, Romana instinctively reached out her snowy-white hand, swaying it gently in front of him and saying, "Qin Director, what are you thinking about?" "Nothing really. Your beauty has surprised me, hehe." With a thick face, he made up an excuse, secretly cursing himself for being so clumsy—how could he have gone blank in front of her? Romana's face briefly showed a touch of regret; that had been a perfect opportunity to act. She continued to smile softly, "The executives and Mei Director are all waiting for you. Better hurry over." Qin groaned, "Little Romana, I truly don't enjoy spending time with the officials—they always make me feel uncomfortable. Why don't you just tell them I'm not feeling well and skip the meeting?" "That might not be so good, though?" "Romance looked somewhat hesitant and said, 'The General Manager has already made his decision. If you don't go, it would be rather inappropriate.'" "Alright!" Qin, the young magnate, had no choice but to bow and, as he stood up, suddenly asked, "Has Wu's secretary arrived? We've been good friends for a long time." "No!" Romance raised her tone noticeably and her face changed instantly. Yet she quickly regained composure, returning to her usual demeanor within just a few seconds. All these subtle shifts were clearly observed by Qin, who remained calm and composed, and then asked again, "How come he hasn't come? That's truly a pity. Last time I visited the Municipal Committee, it was Wu who welcomed me. Wu is quite excellent—so young, yet already serving as Secretary. His future looks very promising. Wait, last time he mentioned he was coming together with the Secretary of the Committee." As he spoke, his peripheral vision remained fixed on the beautiful manager. Luo Man tucked one hand behind her, and it was clear from the tightness of the shirt sleeve that her hand had clenched into a firm fist. With her usual smile on her face, she said, "I'm not sure. When the Wang Mayor first joined, he hadn't been scheduled to come at all—he showed up last minute and became part of the inspection team." The departments under inspection were the pharmaceutical R&D division and the physical laboratory, occupying five floors from the sixth to the eleventh. At present, a group of people was viewing displays of finished and semi-finished traditional Chinese medicine products. Various herbal ingredients were arranged in crystal display cases. Wang Changling pointed to a large, worm-like specimen and asked, "What is this used for—this meat ginseng?" The manager from the medical department immediately explained, "It's known as the 'desert ginseng,' with effects of strengthening yang energy and nourishing the kidneys." Wang Changling's eyes lit up, then he nodded calmly, and Lian Mingfei followed suit with a quiet nod. This scene coincided perfectly with Qin's arrival from the elevator, who couldn't help but smile knowingly. "Qin Director, what's so amusing?" Lu Man asked curiously. "Just recently, Hou General launched a batch of tonic teas. Before he left, it would be appropriate to present one box each to Lian Secretary and Wang Mayor." "He smiled and said, 'Leaders these days are constantly juggling countless tasks and engagements—supplementary health care is absolutely necessary.'" Luoman frowned and remarked, "Is this appropriate? They'll surely decline the gift when presented face-to-face, right?" "That's just joking—they'll definitely accept it," Qin, the young magnate, said with an air of profound insight. It was evident from their keen interest in the meat ginseng that both leaders were experiencing some physical frailty, and the saying 'nine out of ten have kidney deficiencies' truly held merit. Finding a man of Qin's vigorous vitality—still robust and energetic—was no easy task. Qin Feng's arrival didn't spark much excitement. In fact, the enthusiasm displayed by the leaders earlier turned out to be mere ceremonial gestures. Aside from Wang Changling, who occasionally glanced at him, everyone else either focused intently on the medicinal herbs or kept their eyes fixed on the women's chests and buttocks. Whenever the camera wasn't pointed at them, these individuals were reluctant to even display a smile. This "harmonious and pleasant" atmosphere, however, wasn't something many people enjoyed. Just as Lian Mingfei suggested they take a look at the physics lab, a sudden explosion erupted at a nearby medicine cabinet. The roar was deafening, and the shockwave carrying glass shards injured several people. "What's going on? We need to protect Lian Secretary and Wang Mayor!" The crowd became chaotic—everyone was too busy to attend to anyone else, all rushing toward the safety exits. "Huihui, Fangfang, take the leaders and go first—I'll cover the rear!" Qin Feng called out. In reality, he didn't need to issue any orders—the employees had already cleared a path for the leaders. Those younger staff members, never showing any courtesy, were clutching their heads and running even faster.
