Fu Jinchi sat in an empty bar booth for half an hour, realizing he had been played. To be precise, he knew it before he even came. How could someone like Ben invite him for a drink out of nowhere? It was like a silent demonstration, or rather, a complaint. From a certain chief assistant whom he had messed with first. However, Fu Jinchi…

The seed of suspicion, once secretly planted, might remain dormant for a while, but you can never be certain it won’t eventually sprout. After all, it doesn’t need sunlight or rain; it only needs a deceitful tongue. Yan Zishu was well aware of this and understood Fu Jinchi’s machinations. Fu Jinchi was simply trying to erode the trust between Fu Weishan and his “capable…

Ji Chen raised his eyes in surprise, seemingly trying to find traces of a humble background on the guest’s face, but failed. With his handsome features and impeccable attire, no matter how he looked, he seemed like someone born in Rome. The guest, however, no longer spoke about himself: “So, who is it in this venue that you’re trying to avoid? It shouldn’t be…

As Fu Weishan’s theoretical “admirer,” this was likely the result Yan Zishu wanted. However, he still made a symbolic attempt to persuade Ji Chen to stay: “I think you should reconsider, after all, if I may be frank, your family situation doesn’t seem too good. You yourself said before that you couldn’t lose this job—” These words, predictably, had the opposite effect. Ji Chen…

Yan Zishu set the fruit basket he bought at the hospital entrance on the bedside table. “I heard about the child. I’m sorry for your loss.” Yuan Mu glared at him, her face pale and cold. “Spare me your crocodile tears. You must be dying to laugh right now.” Indeed, not just Fu Jinchi—anyone who knew the situation would probably suspect that Yuan Mu…

From the moment Yan Zishu arrived, he could see that Fu Jinchi, the hotel’s host, was so busy he barely had a moment to spare. The two of them hadn’t even exchanged a word in private. After delivering a brief opening speech, saying the usual polite remarks and cutting the red ribbon, Fu Jinchi personally led the guests inside for a tour. The hotel…

Yuan Mu? Trending news? Yan Zishu really hadn’t known. But right after hanging up, he saw that his own sources had also sent over related information. Fu Jinchi sure was quick—like a canary who always knew where the wind was blowing. A little internet celebrity like Yuan Mu, who had bought her way into traffic fame, was basically a has-been. Nine out of ten…

After some negotiation, the situation turned out to be quite simple: Ji Chen had a gambling-addicted father who, like every gambler, almost always lost. He racked up debts outside and was constantly being chased by creditors—his life an endless cycle of these two things. Today just happened to be a “getting chased for money” day. Fortunately, the two tattooed thugs who had been barking…

“Pretty much the same as before,” Yan Zishu answered smoothly, leaving room to advance or retreat. “Then… could you help me confirm something? Our school’s performance this weekend—will he have time to come?” “You mean that stage play? You gave him a ticket, right?” “Yes, that one. You still remember?” Ji Chen beamed happily. “Of course I remember. Once President Fu gets back, I’ll…

As they spoke, the internal phone in Fu Jinchi’s office rang loudly. He didn’t let go of the chair’s backrest, leveraging his long arms and legs to reach over with his other hand to pick it up.
