Inside An Qing’s conference room, Yue Ling sat in the main seat at the long white table as the board of directors sat at the sides. She scans the faces of these people, each person looking at the documents in front of them.

Liu Yilong sat closest to her on the right. He stares at the papers, and three lines appear between his eyebrows.

Liu Shan passed them a folder when they sat in the conference room. However, this folder was not your regular document.

Instead, it contained a full detail of the changes Yue Ling planned to make for An Qing.

He finishes reading the last page, closes the folder, and looks at her with an unexplainable expression.

Yue Ling notices his gaze and slightly tilts her head in his direction. She didn’t smile, but there was no malice on her face.

p-A- n-d-A-n-0-v-e-1、(c)om “Is there something you would like to express, Mr. Liu?”

Liu Yilong stares at the young woman before him for a long second. His eyes held thousands of questions that needed answers, but after careful thinking, he heaved a sigh.

“CEO Han, I understand the changes you have for An Qing, but are you sure about the 30 percent raise?”

Hearing his question, everyone at the table lifts their heads and looks in the direction of Yue Ling. Even they were shocked to see the high increase in raise.

Was this a trick to keep them at An Qing?

Yue Ling never moved her eyes from the elderly man. Usually, a person would be thrilled with the high pay increase since most standard annual raises are less than five percent.

However, after going over An Qing’s financial statements, she decided on this.

During Chen Limei’s time as the CEO, she fabricated the records and the employees’ salaries. She wasn’t only laundering from An Qing but from those of lower-income families.

Her eyes flutter, not too slow or fast, and she reaches for the folder in front of her. It was the same folder as the others had in front of them.

“I understand you all have some doubt about this sudden raise, but I do not have any intentions of taking it back.”

She opens the folder and picks up the first piece of the document.

“Everyone will be given a 30 percent raise and an additional bonus.”

An Qing is at its peak, mainly thanks to the employees for doing their job. She would not have made this decision if it wasn’t for their hard work.

She set the document aside to pick up another one.

“As for the arrangement of the employees, each person will be given a position that fits their skills.”

She looks up from the piece of paper, and her bluish-green eyes scan the faces of the people sitting at the table.

“Whether they are from a prominent family or not, they will get a position fitting for them.”

Everyone listens attentively to her words. No one dared to go against her as she was their superior and the one with a say in everything.

The moment they looked at her, they knew she was serious. The steadiness in her eyes told them she was not the type of person to take back her words once said.

“Alright.”

Liu Yilong did not need to think twice about Yue Ling’s sudden decision. He knew her well enough to know how she did things.

He looks away from her and diverts his eyes to the others. Half the people in this room were once Fate members, while the others were hired for their competence.

“I agree too.”

A middle-aged man spoke up from the group. He had his doubts about whether Yue Ling would be like Chen Limei, but after reading through the documents given, he came to understand something.

He knew that he could trust Yue Ling.

“Me, too.”

“I have nothing more to say but agree.”

Quickly following the man, everyone else in the room voiced their agreement. They believe that although An Qing is at its peak, with Yue Ling now holding the position of CEO, only good things will come to this company.

Yue Ling was pleased to hear everyone’s acceptance of her new conditions. A faint but noticeable smile curls on her lips, and she closes the folder in front of her.

“Everything will go accordingly to what is written in the folder in front of you. I will make sure that I uphold my end too.”

She handed the folder to Liu Shan and stood up from her seat as he took it.

“This meeting ends here. I want to take the remaining time to meet the employees.”

Liu Yilong’s eyes widened at her words. He thought she would return to De L’amour or want to head straight to her office here. Never did he expect her to want to visit the employees suddenly.

However, the more he stared at her, the more he was reminded of her paternal grandfather and father.

Old Han and Han Min Joon were always considerate of their subordinates. Whether one came from a wealthy family or a low background, they didn’t care.

He knew this because he was from a lower-income family. Old Han was the person who gave him a chance at a new life, and he will forever be in debt to the Han family.please visit panda(-)N0ve1.co)m

That was why, when Yue Ling decided to disperse Fate, he came to An Qing to continue paying his debt to her.

Coming back to his senses, he stood up and smiled at her.

“CEO Han, if you do not mind this old man, let me show you around.”

Yue Ling looked at the elderly man, and her heart ached at how much he had aged. She had hoped that he would take her offer and retire since she knew his reason for staying. However, she is genuinely happy to have him as an employee at An Qing.

Knowing she cannot change his mind, she nods at him and heads for the door.

“I will be in your care then.”

Liu Yilong did not wait and sped up to catch up to her, leaving Liu Shan and the others baffled.

In their eyes, the elderly man looked like a puppy following his owner. Liu Shan shakes his head before striding after the two.

As Yue Ling headed to the first floor to greet the employees, back at home, Lu Tian continued with his search.

However, he wasn’t in the study but outside on the back patio.

His tall figure stood staring out to the view of Imperial in the distance. His left hand was in his pants pocket while his right hand held a cigarette.

If one did not know that he was the king of the business world and saw him, one would have thought he was the king of the underworld.

His right-hand raises, and he takes a puff of the cigarette. He steadily blows out the smoke and lowers his hand.

“Boss, are you sure these are the places?”

Sitting on the bench, Xu Long spoke from behind his laptop that was placed on his lap. He stares at the screen with his lips pursed and eyes brows knitted tightly together.

“There’s no information or surveillance footage that can be found.”

He was at Lu Corps in his boss’s stead in case anything came up. He suddenly received a message from his boss containing different locations in Imperial.

He was to go to these places and check for footage, connecting to the person his boss was looking for. However, after going to twenty different locations, he found nothing, and all the people he met said they had not spoken to anyone suspicious or could possibly be dangerous.

He takes his eyes off the laptop screen and massages his forehead.

“This is so difficult. How can we find someone if we don’t even know who they are? No name or anything. We don’t even know what they look like.”

Lu Tian doesn’t answer but stares at the view of Imperial in the distance. He takes another puff of the cigarette in his hand and then places it on the ashtray.

“Intranet.”

“Intranet?”

Hearing the word, Xu Long returned it with a question. He was confused but only for a split second and looked back at his laptop.

“So that’s why. This person used a private closed system.”

Thinking this, he looks up at his boss and ponders again before speaking.

“Then what about all the footage? Does this person have anything to do with them?”

Lu Tian answers with a faint mm as he puts another cigarette in his mouth and lights it. He blows the smoke out and reaches inside his pocket.

“This person hacked into each surveillance and changed them to self-destructing footage.”

His last word fell, and he took out a neatly folded paper. He hands it to his assistant and returns his attention to the view in front of him.

Xu Long was astounded. He looked at the laptop screen, and everything made sense.

No one was able to track this other person looking for Choi Li Sun because he or she made sure that after one play, the footage would self-delete. Once it is gone, there’s no way to track it again.

He looked at his boss and was impressed. He had done his own search but didn’t find anything as close to what his boss found in one day, in just a few hours.

When he saw the folded paper in his boss’s hand, he reached out to take it.

“What is this?”

Lu Tian doesn’t look at his assistant, but his deep voice sounds.

“Pseudonym.”

Xu Long was amazed at his boss’s time to fold a piece of paper neatly, but his eyes widened at the answer. He quickly unfolded the paper and was eager to see the content. For all he knows, this could be the person’s only information or one of the many pieces of information.

However, the second his eyes landed on the content, his eyelids grew heavy.

He looks at his boss and blinks his eyes with one hand holding the paper up.

“This is a joke, right? Toosexyformyshirt123?”
