Approaching seven o’clock in the evening, the sky wasn’t completely dark yet.
The two slowly walked out of the alley, their view suddenly widened, and in the southwest, the quiet deep blue sky hung a beautiful sunset with fiery clouds.
"So beautiful." Gu Xi was so amazed that he couldn’t help but stop.
Ning Youguang was also entranced by the beauty in front of her, and she thought of Shi Wangyue, who loved watching the sky. Fearing the beautiful scene would vanish quickly, she hurriedly took out her phone from her bag and captured the sky.
She imdiately sent it to him—
[Mountains and rivers vast, the world bustling, but none compares to this mont [Image]]
After sending the WeChat ssage, she felt at ease to stand at the alley entrance with Gu Xi to admire the clouds and feel the breeze.
...
"Tomorrow our company is visiting AD Company for an inspection and study, are you going?"
In Shi Wangyue’s office at a future ti.
On the weekend, struggling to work overti, Ze Wu chatted with Shi Wangyue and found the other suddenly playing with his phone, feeling speechless.
"Can’t you reply to your wife’s ssages after we finish talking?"
Shi Wangyue rarely played with his phone during communication or work.
So, once he did, it was easy to guess what he was doing.
"Not going." Shi Wangyue smiled, looking at his phone screen without lifting his head.
[Wife: Mountains and rivers vast, the world bustling, but none compares to this mont [Image]]
[Beautiful!]
[Have you finished shopping? Where is it? I’ll go pick you up.]
The sunset clouds sent to his phone were indeed beautiful, so beautiful that Shi Wangyue’s heart soared with them.
Ze Wu felt blocked by his attitude, "How about you attend the investnt conference the day after tomorrow?"
"I have sothing the day after tomorrow." Shi Wangyue still looked at his phone without lifting his head.
[Wife: No need, I’ll head ho after sending off Gu Xi, when do you get off work?]
[How long will you take to send her off? The timing’s about right for to finish work too.]
"Even if you have things, move them." Ze Wu felt very exhausted, "For the past few months, I’ve attended almost all company socials, and everyone’s guessing if you’ve gone into hiding, Mr. Shi. At least show up so everyone knows this mainstay is still around. We’re not so hermits, keeping a low profile isn’t good."
"If you don’t know how to use idioms, just don’t use them." Shi Wangyue’s voice was cold, but his lips still carried a smile, "Whether I’m here or not, I don’t need to prove anything to anyone."
This contradictory expression!!!
Ze Wu once again felt deeply that being love-struck was not good.
In a fit of anger, emotions flaring, he said rather displeased—
"Boss, I need a break!!!"
"If I don’t take a break for a few days, I’ll start detesting my schedule tomorrow. How can work continue then?!"
Shi Wangyue and Ze Wu, as partners, have been working together from the United States back to the dostic scene. They’ve always had clear divisions in company responsibilities.
Shi Wangyue is responsible for genuinely engaging with and understanding market dynamics and transformations, grasping new technology, and finding enterprises or entrepreneurs focused on technology, along with building the company’s internal structure.
Ze Wu, anwhile, is responsible for maintaining communication with others and the internal managent of the company.
All these tasks require highly capable individuals to handle them in a more structured way.
Shi Wangyue and Ning Zewu each chose to focus on their area of expertise, always working perfectly as a team, and both have been doing an excellent job with their respective tasks.
But as MM continues to develop, as the company’s boss, Ze Wu receives too many social invitations and gathering requests.
For over a year, he’s had to attend social events almost every evening.
No matter how skilled, energetic, or vigorous he is, there are tis when he feels annoyed.
Once Cloud Chief develops aversion towards work, he doesn’t want to work during those phases; he just wants to slack off, invite so pretty girls out for a holiday, and heal the body and mind tornted by work.
"How about a week in southern France?"
He knows Shi Wangyue despises social activities the most.
He’s pushed all the socials he could, leaving only a few that can’t be pushed and can’t be delegated to subordinates.
He can only ask Shi Wangyue to help him attend them.
That’s why, so late, he’s co to find him.
Shi Wangyue looked up, his deep eyes falling on the anxious face of Ze Wu.
"Youyou was teaching a public class at the city library this afternoon and hasn’t returned ho yet."
He spoke slowly, one word at a ti, his voice slightly cool.
The coolness pierced Ze Wu’s fiery heart, instantly cooling his entire body’s temperature.
He shivered, a complintary smile quickly appearing on his handso face, "I’ve been drinking to the point of midnight stomach pains recently, can’t stay under such high-pressure work conditions for so long..."
Shi Wangyue lowered his head and picked up the phone to call his assistant outside the office.
Soon, a knocking sound ca from outside the office.
"Co in."
Ze Wu quietly watched the expressionless Shi Wangyue, not quite understanding his actions, "Why did you call Assistant Jin?"
Shi Wangyue’s deep gaze skimd past his puzzled face and fell on Assistant Jin who walked in, "Help dispose of the cold bento and check my and Cloud Chief’s holiday records over the past half year while you’re at it."
Assistant Jin, always diligent and conscientious, imdiately walked to Shi Wangyue’s desk, picked up the bento he ordered earlier but couldn’t eat due to work, now thoroughly cold.
"Mr. Shi, would you like to heat a cup of milk for you? You didn’t have lunch either."
"No need, thank you." Shi Wangyue raised his left hand to remove the gold-rimd glasses from his nose, and pinched the bridge of his nose with his right hand, "I have work I’m rushing to complete."
In this state, Shi Wangyue was visibly fatigued.
Assistant Jin took the cold bento box, gave him a heavy look, then walked out.
Ze Wu suddenly felt quite uncomfortable, "0, you’re tired, why not go rest first?"
Shi Wangyue closed his eyes and frowned, "There’s other work to do at ho."
"..." Ze Wu’s confidence vanished, his voice much quieter, "I’ll take care of the work you have left for today, let help you."
After the recent scene, he’s already reflected that not only he is extrely busy in the company lately, but Shi Wangyue is also busy, having four or five etings a day, working over ten hours daily.
Besides that, he often has to travel...
Thinking of it like this, rare guilt suddenly surged within him.
"Aren’t you suffering from stomach pains?" Shi Wangyue slowly opened his eyes, looking at Ze Wu with a gaze full of fatigue, "It’s rare there’s no event tonight, if you’re alright go ho early and rest, don’t worry about ..." 1314
