The winter night in Moon City is essentially no different from other cities of Xuan Cang, except that it has beco increasingly colder. December has arrived, the weather has cooled, and sotis frost appears in the morning when getting up.
On this particular night, Shen Binan stayed in her CEO office and did not leave. She stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, watching the night scene outside.
Below, throngs of cars crowded the main road, their lights competing with the colorful nightlife. Opposite, a cluster of high-rise buildings stood like a steel forest, their lights randomly flickering on and off, creating a scene that couldn’t be defined as either beautiful or ugly.
Standing by the window, Shen Binan was still in her professional OL suit. Her tall, slender figure boasted graceful curves and a stunning beauty that surpassed even the most renowned actresses.
Her black hair fell loose, resting elegantly on her shoulders, her beauty unparalleled. Coupled with the icy aura that emanated from her, it deterred anyone from approaching.
One of her fair, jade-like arms hung by her waist, while the other held a glass of red wine, which she sipped in solitude.
Silence filled the CEO office. Shen Binan had been standing there for a long ti, motionless like a statue. Even if soone entered at that mont, she didn’t move.
However, she heard a sound.
The sound of high heels echoed, and her female secretary ca in.
Her secretary’s charming face showed signs of fatigue but she dared not express it or harbor any discontent. Working alongside Shen Binan was exhausting and occasionally demanded unreasonable requests, but these never crossed her boundaries.
The enticingly high salary was sothing many coveted.
Moreover, after working with Shen Binan for a long ti, the secretary gradually realized that this woman, who was seen externally as the Iceberg Queen, was actually cold outside but tender inside. Sotis, following her instructions would earn so encouragent.
The secretary placed a docunt lightly on the desk and cautiously spoke, "Ms. Shen, this is our group’s project proposal for developing self-heating hotpots, and the agenda for setting up a costics subsidiary in the Eastern Domain is included. This is the latest drafted report, and there’s also..."
"Enough."
Just as the secretary was about to continue, Shen Binan suddenly interrupted her report.
Then, Shen Binan turned to face her sowhat nervous secretary and said, "You can go off work now."
Secretary: "But Ms. Shen, you haven’t finished yet, how can I..."
Shen Binan replied coolly, "Off work!" her tone leaving no room for objection.
The secretary opened her mouth, intending to speak, but ultimately dared not defy Shen Binan. She bowed slightly and said, "Goodbye, Ms. Shen." With that, she turned and left.
After the secretary’s departure, only Shen Binan remained in the office.
Shen Binan set the wine glass on the desk and picked up the docunt, sitting behind the desk.
She rubbed her brow with her slender jade fingers, her eyes betraying a hint of fatigue she couldn’t conceal. She wished to think of nothing, to ignore everything, but eventually suppressed such feelings.
Now was not the ti to rest.
Shen Binan opened the docunt and began to read it carefully.
