As soon as she finished speaking, financial staff from another ten or so people stood neatly on one side, each holding a leather suitcase. One employee immediately received his salary and was overjoyed. Just as he was about to leave, he turned back and said, "I'll be coming back tomorrow!" "Sorry! You're the first one we're firing!" Jin Nana said coldly. "Li General! Please, please! It's so hard to find work now! I..." The employee pleaded with Gao Huang. "Anyone who can't make it through this tough time with us will be let go!" Gao Huang's words were firm and resolute. "Who wants to leave? I'll make it happen!" Gao Huang added. Discussions followed, with people expressing their growing concerns about Electronic Arts' current performance. They felt the company was struggling, with little hope for the future, and doubted whether they would have a promising career here. While they were currently receiving salaries, they questioned whether these payments would continue. After all, the Rockefeller Center had posted job advertisements outside the Electronic Arts building, offering high salaries to all current employees. These remarks sparked immediate reactions among the crowd, with many declaring they were ready to leave. "Excellent!" Hao Liang exclaimed. "We've already lost half our staff on salary—only one-third remain. Hao Liang questioned them, 'Are you willing to stay and work with me?'" "Yes! I'm willing!" one person shouted. "Offer him three times his salary!" Hao Liang ordered to Jin Nana. Jin Nana immediately instructed over a dozen financial staff members, "Get the funds ready!" The person, now delighted, held his pay package high and bowed deeply to Li Zong and Jin Nana, saying, "Master! I'm willing to weather the storm with Electronic Arts. I'll contribute half of this salary to help the company rise from the ashes!" "Excellent!" Hao Liang clapped his hands, looking around at the group. He announced, "Is anyone still thinking of leaving? It's still too early!" But no one else wanted to go. They all responded in unison, "We're willing to stay and serve Li Zong! We're willing to serve Electronic Arts!" "Excellent!" Hao Liang declared, "All of you have been rehired once again!" "I'm thrilled that each of you has received three times your salary!" As soon as Gao Liang spoke, the crowd was stunned—after all, three times the salary was a huge sum. At Electronic Arts, salaries were already high, and with the company on the brink of collapse, it was no easy feat to make such a payment. "Come, collect your pay now! It'll be gone if you wait!" Jin Nana's voice energized the crowd. "Go collect your pay!" The employees eagerly gathered their salaries, their eyes shining as they saw stacks of colorful U.S. bills filling over a dozen financial chests. "This is fantastic! Working under Li Zong is truly great!" Many employees were overjoyed, their faces beaming. "Thank goodness George was ousted by Li Zong; otherwise, we'd have been living off the scraps every day!" said another employee. They gathered closely around Gao Liang, their eyes glistening with gratitude—this three-times salary would allow their families to live comfortably, and the benefactor was none other than Li Zong himself. They were fortunate people, yet the first group who had just received their salaries and refused to stay were now in trouble. Upon seeing that group return disheartened and stumbling, saying, "The Rockefeller Center has stopped hiring! We've been played for fools! We've been played by George!" someone pointed this out. "Mr. Li, I know you're generous and kind—this is all our fault. Just take us in and give us a chance!" the first group said. "Agreed, but with certain conditions!" said Gao Huang, speaking under the watchful eyes of everyone. At that moment, Jin Nana explained: "Since you didn't pass the assessment, if you wish to return to work, you'll have to start over with a three-month probation period. As for compensation, I won't mention anything—those who wish to stay will stay, and those who don't will go." "I'm staying!" One employee raised his hand. "So am I!" Another employee also raised his hand. "We're all staying!" All the staff raised their hands. "Li is a man who values credibility. As long as we follow Li closely, we're certain to receive his promotion and trust!" Kenneth, the vice president, interjected. "Exactly! Working under Li, the King of Skills and the King of Games—our future looks bright!" A female employee spoke fluently in English. Upon arriving at the headquarters of Electronic Arts, Gao Liang immediately gave clear instructions to his subordinates. The staff earned competitive salaries and worked with great enthusiasm, as if their engines had just been refilled—running swiftly and efficiently. Efficiency doubled. Gao Liang, pacing confidently with his wife Jin Nana, inspected each workroom with a distinguished air. Everyone bowed respectfully, saying, "Good morning, Mr. Li and Miss Jin!" "Good morning! Go ahead and get to work!" With that command, everyone immediately resumed energetic work. Kenneth provided a detailed account of everything at EA to Gao Liang. As Gao listened, his fists tightened. "George, you're manipulating the operators to harm the old guard—old guard, they'll find their own way through miracles. You're doing wrong by accumulating more wrongs, and soon you'll pay the price. Tomorrow, we face off at the peak!" Turning to Jin Nana, he said, "Wife! You'll have to take the lead in tomorrow's performance. If you falter, I'll step in to help you!" "Yes, husband! Your words are strength—I'll deliver!" Jin Nana's words brought Gao great satisfaction. To Kenneth, he said, "Let's go to New York tomorrow. We're going to bring George down!" "But George is both fierce and cunning. We must be careful!" Kenneth said with caution. "We'll stand united and work together to bring him down!" Gao said with confidence. "To eliminate the obstacles for the people!" Someone behind said, not quite fluent in English. Gao looked around and nodded, impressed. It's Mike! Highlight was delighted. "Mike, how come you've come to the U.S.? Where's Julie?" "Mr. Li, I have to come personally to handle my mortgage here, and I also wanted to visit the headquarters. I didn't expect to meet Mr. Li here, nor our esteemed Ms. Jinanana!" "George is now the CEO of the Rockefeller Center! Mike, what are your thoughts?" Highlight's words left Mike genuinely surprised. "I know a little about George—his hometown is one I've visited." "Excellent! Tomorrow is the day of the decisive showdown. Let's take him down and make sure those who are at the top fall the hardest!" Highlight declared. The four burst into laughter. The scene then shifts to George's office at the Rockefeller Center, where he is shouting at Powell and his two bodyguards, "Listen up!" Tomorrow is my wedding to Ms. Jinanah. You must ensure top-notch security on-site, keep a sharp eye out for anyone with intentions to cause disruption, and be prepared to take decisive action if necessary! Understood? "Yes, Mr. President! Understood!" All three promptly agreed. As soon as they stepped out of the president's office, the two bodyguards exchanged concerned glances. George noticed this from inside the office and immediately grew suspicious. He quickly called Powell and placed close watch on the two guards. Feeling monitored, the guards grew anxious and hurriedly wrote a note. When the courier came to collect the mail, they slipped the note into a stack of envelopes. Unfortunately, however, they couldn't escape George's keen observation. The two guards were soon detained. George took out the note and said fiercely, "I see—you wanted to expose my secrets! Too bad! You simply aren't up to par against me!" George tore the note into fragments and said, "Highlight, you're still alive? Come then! I've already had my sharpshooter aim at your chest! Whoever comes—everyone will fall!" At that moment, Jinan entered the chairman's office from outside, looking exhausted, which puzzled George. "Beauty, where have you been?" "Oh! Not really anywhere!" Jinan stammered. George stared intently into her eyes, sensing that she was trying to deceive him. He thought to himself, "Don't think I'm unaware of your performance—you're trying to kill me! I've known all along! But the wedding tomorrow must still go ahead!" With that, he immediately said to Jinan, "You're tired—go rest now!" Jinan then proceeded to her own large office, only to find it empty and began to shout in dismay. Just then, George appeared. He locked the door and revealed a stern expression—more precisely, a striking one. This color surprised Jinanana so much. Jinanana quickly stammered, "George! Our wedding date is just around the corner tomorrow!" "I can't wait anymore! I want you to be my woman right now!" George eagerly removed his shirt, revealing his chest hair, and then began unbuttoning his pants. The swelling, powerful thing that emerged made Jinanana feel both startled and nervous. With her eyes closed, she said, "George, please, not like this, okay?" Yet George's passion burned even brighter than a blazing fire. He wrapped his arms tightly around Jinanana and declared, "I've been waiting for you long enough. I've never had a single moment with Gao Liang and you—never! I'm going to make love to you now, so you'll finally understand how truly outstanding American men are in this regard!" With that, he reached for Jinanana's underpants. George's growing erection was now gently drawing closer to Jinanana's smooth, porcelain abdomen. Jinanana tried to call out, but George remained unconcerned, saying, "This is my territory. I'll do what I want, whenever I want!" "Lord! Save me!" Jinanah prayed. "God, keep my body pure! Unspotted!" As she finished speaking, George's phone at his waist buzzed urgently. Damn—it had to interrupt this moment with Jinanah. He ignored it completely, tossing the phone aside without picking it up. He focused instead on tearing at Jinanah's final defenses. As he revealed her abdomen, smooth and white as jade, George's heart raced. Just three more seconds, and he'd be joining her in the act of intimacy. But then, the phone buzzed again—urgently—yet George still didn't answer. At that moment, he heard someone outside shouting, "It's bad! The president! It's bad! Another fire!" George heard it clearly. He quickly released Jinanah, opened the door, and found the corridor ablaze—fire breaking out right beside him. What now? He rushed to say, "Get the fire trucks! Get the fire trucks!" Jinanana straightened her clothes and stepped out, only to find a male employee holding her hand during the commotion. She felt a strong sense of familiarity with him. Oh! It was him—Gao Liang. Her husband. She was overjoyed. The two of them managed to escape the Rockefeller Center building amidst the chaos. "I'll take you to a place!" Gao Liang said, removing his makeup from his eyebrows and his wig. "Husband! I truly must thank you! If you hadn't come to save me, I wouldn't have been able to—my body..." Jinanana said, her voice filled with emotion. "You are my woman! No one shall touch you! Anyone who dares to touch my woman shall die!" Gao Liang's words were resolute and commanding. At that moment, Jinanana noticed the sword at his waist—a symbol of status and dignity, once worn by President Washington—radiating royal authority. She immediately knelt before him, saying, "Husband! No, Most Noble King, I bow to you!" "I rise, Your Grace!" Gao Liang quickly lifted Jin Nana with tenderness. But Jin Nana wouldn't budge, insisting on kneeling sincerely for one minute. Now, gazing at Jin Nana kneeling on the ground, Gao Liang felt truly delighted—this woman, his chief wife, had completely surrendered. These days, he'd noticed how Jin Nana had changed. Since their double-therapy session in the operating room, she'd been steadily focusing on her role as a devoted wife, content as long as her husband was well. Indeed, she was no ordinary wife! After one minute, Gao Liang helped Jin Nana up and casually hailed a taxi, which headed toward the Empire State Building. At the 68th floor of the New York International Sports School in the Empire State Building, Qin Xue felt rather bored in her office. For so many days now, Gao Liang had completely ignored her. Some things at the school are rather tedious. Recently, I've been so busy with various school matters that I can hardly sleep anymore. Honestly, what a pity—especially that stair-climbing competition. It turned out to be a school initiative, and while establishing the school is certainly a good thing, it's been exhausting for me. Gao Liang has completely become a hands-off type. After all, I'm just a 19-year-old girl—how can I possibly handle so many tasks that never seem to end? No, I need to step out and clear my mind now. If things don't improve, I'll go back to Taiwan! My parents' situations have improved significantly—my mother's illness has recovered, and my father is currently managing the school's logistics. Though my finances aren't particularly generous, as a regular council member, I do have some financial autonomy, so my life remains relaxed and comfortable. Still, Gao Liang hasn't visited me in such a long time, and evenings have become especially difficult to endure. When Qin Xue was leaving, she found Gao Liang standing there with a beautiful woman. Ah, that woman was exactly the attractive server at Qi Yuan 3 Restaurant that day! They truly complemented each other, and Qin Xue felt a bit inferior. At this moment, she realized how modest her own beauty seemed beside such a stunning sister. "Qin Xue! Let me introduce you—this is your Jin Nana sister!" High Guang smiled warmly. "Sister!" Qin Xue called out, and Jin Nana was delighted. Yet Qin Xue felt jealous. Hmph—you must have another woman on the side, High Guang. He had already guessed her thoughts. "Qin Xue! I'm truly sorry, but I've been so busy lately that I haven't had time to spend with you. Today, we're going shopping in New York—Trump Tower!" "Really? That's wonderful! I haven't been there for a long time! I remember last time, I only took a quick look—I didn't buy anything at all!" Qin Xue said, a bit disheartened. "This time, it's all on me, husband!" High Guang's words made Qin Xue immediately reach out and say, "I'm going to make you pay big!" "Highlight smiled and said, 'A big bloodbath is great! After all, you found yourself a diamond-in-the-rough who's willing to go to any lengths for a beautiful woman!' 'Hmph! Please! You're still a net debtor with a $1.5 billion shortfall—don't even expect me to dream of anything better. Let's just call it off!' Qin Xue thought of Electronic Arts' difficult situation, already teetering on the brink of collapse. 'For you! I'm willing!' Highlight tenderly declared his love to Qin Xue, deeply moved that she even cried. At that moment, Jin Nana said with ease, 'Qin Xue, sister! Let's go quickly!' The three became a family—Qin Xue felt cherished as her elegant sister gently held her hand. Trump Tower, named after New York real estate magnate Donald Trump, stands at the entrance of Fifth Avenue, a complex combining a shopping mall and office buildings. The most striking feature of this 68-story building is the trees planted on floors that decrease sequentially, making it stand out among the other skyscrapers on Fifth Avenue. Inside, one can truly appreciate the eccentric, opulent extravagance of a successful newcomer—its grand lobby and soaring atrium are entirely paved with pink marble, complemented by bronze handrails and spotlights projecting from the corners, creating a golden, luminous atmosphere. This globally renowned store offers high-quality jewelry, porcelain, and crystalware. While many of its items are breathtaking, it also features a range of more affordable merchandise—such as keychains and wallet holders—that make excellent souvenirs for a visit to New York. Even if you don't purchase anything, you can simply browse the store windows, as the character Holly Golightly from *Breakfast at Tiffany’s* would do. There's so much to admire in this store, with many items displayed in glass cases. Gao Liang took Qin Xue and Jin Nana through the showroom. Jin Nana smiled gently, holding back her excitement at the appealing displays, while the younger Qin Xue kept her eyes darting excitedly from case to case. Gao Liang glanced over and noticed a sparkling crystal diamond necklace. At that moment, a female server approached with a warm smile and said, "This is a Tiffany & Co. necklace—its price is fixed nationwide." Qin Xue gasped. Twelve hundred thousand dollars! She quickly waved her hands as if shaking a rattle, saying, "I must have misread it! I didn't see it!" But Gao Liang stepped in and said, "Pack it up—I'll take it." "Husband!" Qin Xue exclaimed right in front of Jin Nana's eyes, her face turning crimson as she said it. Yet Jin Nana didn't mind at all, and gently encouraged her, "Say thank you!" It seems your husband treats you better than I do! Qin Xue felt a little happy and said, "Husband! Husband! Do you really think I'm worthy of all this dedication?"
