Half an hour ago—

"Wow, such a tall office building. Which floor do you think Sister Chen Qin's company is on?"

In front of the skyscraper, two girls stood looking in through the glass doors. They were, of course, Bai Yuyou and Tang Keke, who had come here following the location Ye Shuang had sent during his lunch break.

If you asked why the two of them were here, it was mainly because Bai Yuyou had noticed Ye Shuang frowning and thinking about company matters these past few days, leading her to believe he had run into some trouble.

For example,

being bullied by his boss, suffering some grievance.

Unable to contain their curiosity, the two girls discussed it and decided to rush over by taxi right after their P.E. class ended.

"Let's ask." Bai Yuyou looked around. At this time, some people were coming and going, so it shouldn't be a problem to go ask.

"I'll go ask." Tang Keke said, pulling Bai Yuyou's hand as she ran over to a man who had just exited the office building, directly asking which floor Chen Qin's company was on.

"Which floor? Isn't it right here?" The man was a bit confused, not understanding what the two meant.

"No, I mean which floor number." Tang Keke said.

The man was even more baffled, but still replied, "This whole building, and the few behind it, all are."

Tang Keke was stunned for a moment. "All of them?"

"Our group is a well-known enterprise after all, of course we can't just occupy one floor." The man finished speaking and then left, answering a phone call.

After digesting the information the man provided for a moment, Tang Keke suddenly wondered, "Yuyou, do you think Sister Chen Qin is even richer than I imagined?"

Bai Yuyou's quiet expression looked even more stunned than Keke's, because she also had no idea what "richer than imagined" actually meant.

"Never mind, let's sneak in and take a look." Tang Keke didn't really understand either, because her family's company only occupied one floor in an office building. She had no concept of a single company occupying several twenty or thirty-story skyscrapers.

"Okay."

The two girls walked into the office building but found turnstiles at the entrance and exit, requiring a card to enter.

"Keke, we need a card."

"No way, it's this strict... We can't even sneak in for a look?" Tang Keke wore an expression of utter disbelief.

"Who are you looking for?" Perhaps noticing Bai Yuyou and Tang Keke loitering around, a security guard came over to inquire.

"We're here to find... um..." Tang Keke paused, then suddenly asked,

"Can't we go in?"

Taken aback by the sudden counter-question, the security guard hesitated. "If you have an appointment, of course you can go in."

"What if we don't have one?"

"Then no." The guard wasn't sure what these two girls were here for, but he guessed they were probably looking for a parent—as this sometimes happened at the office building.

"How do we make an appointment?" Tang Keke asked.

"There's a specific procedure for appointments. What exactly are you here for?" the guard asked.

"Oh, actually we're just here to see someone." Tang Keke scratched her head with a silly smile. "You definitely don't know Ye Shuang, such a big company and all."

Hearing this, the guard felt the name sounded somewhat familiar, then suddenly remembered—wasn't that Chairman Chen's rumored boyfriend?

"You mean, you're looking for Director Ye?"

"Director Ye?" Tang Keke blinked. "No? Isn't the boss of your company Sister Chen Qin?"

"Our group has many directors across different departments, but of course there's only one chairman." Hearing Tang Keke actually mention the name of their group's chairman, the guard asked another question, "Are you looking for Ye Shuang, Director Ye?"

"Ye as in leaf, Shuang as in double?"

"Yes."

"What kind of director is he?"

Security guard: "..."

Seeing Tang Keke's look of pure curiosity, the guard began to wonder where this oddball had come from.

"It's Ye Shuang's name." Bai Yuyou spoke up at this point.

"Yes, we're here to see brother... Ye Shuang. Can we go in now?"

"You need an appointment." the guard said.

"Ah, it's that troublesome?" As Tang Keke spoke, she suddenly acted as if pulling out her phone. "Look, here's a photo of brother with us."

The guard glanced at it and confirmed it was indeed Director Ye, who had been in the spotlight a lot recently.

"Then I'll contact someone for you." The guard had no choice but to take out his phone and make a call.

After a moment, he said, "Sorry, the assistant says Director Ye is currently busy."

"Then let us in!"

"That requires an appointment."

Tang Keke: "..."

"Keke, let's go." Bai Yuyou said at this point, feeling that this might cause trouble for Ye Shuang.

"Alright." Tang Keke also nodded. Actually, she had been quite nervous when she heard the guard was going to call.

But just then, a voice came from the side, "You are Director Ye's family?"

Tang Keke and Bai Yuyou turned to find several men standing nearby. The one at the front was a middle-aged man in a well-tailored suit, with neatly styled, slightly wavy hair and wearing gold-rimmed glasses.

"Director Xu." the security guard immediately said.

"Director Xu?"

"What is your relationship with Director Ye?" The assistant beside the man asked.

Hearing this, Bai Yuyou said, "Husband and wife."

Upon hearing these words, Xu Yitian's originally smiling face showed a trace of astonishment. He then began looking Bai Yuyou up and down, his expression seeming somewhat amused.

"If you want to enter the company, I can take you in to find him."

"Really?" Tang Keke asked.

"Yes."

But now Tang Keke shook her head. "Forget it, forget it. Brother seems busy. Better not disturb him."

They had originally thought Ye Shuang might be facing some difficulties, but even the security guard called him "Director Ye," so Ye Shuang's position in this company must be quite high.

"Since you are Director Ye's family, if we let you leave after being stopped at the door like this, we'd be afraid of being blamed for poor hospitality." Xu Yitian said.

"Come in and sit for a while. I can also tell you things you might want to know."

Tang Keke and Bai Yuyou exchanged a glance.

"Then... shall we go in and look? But can you not tell brother?"

"Of course."

Xu Yitian took Tang Keke and Bai Yuyou to his office and subtly probed for quite a bit of information. When he heard that Ye Shuang and Bai Yuyou were actually living together, it seemed to confirm his suspicions.

"So, so, Chairman Chen doesn't know..." Before Xu Yitian could finish his question, the office door was knocked.

"Come in."

The office door was pushed open, and Ye Shuang appeared at the entrance with his assistant.

"Ye Shuang."

"Brother."

Seeing Ye Shuang appear, Bai Yuyou and Tang Keke instinctively spoke up.

"You two, why are you here?" Ye Shuang also asked.
