Chapter 13 A few days later, in the afternoon, the sun shone slantingly into the office, coating the cold air with a layer of illusory warmth. Shen Shenlin was compiling the final investigation report on the Madrid incident, and the red light on the internal phone came on.She picked up and Ye Chang's calm voice came: "Si Lin, come to my office." "Yes, Mr. Ye." Shen Shenlin put down her work and quickly checked her appearance. After confirming that it was correct, she walked to the president's…-

Chapter 9 The plane on its return journey was cruising in the stratosphere. Outside the porthole, the deep blue sky and the sea of clouds seemed frozen in place. The engine emitted a continuous, low hum. The cabin lights were dimmed, and most passengers had fallen asleep or were resting their eyes. Shen Silin sat by the window, unconsciously rubbing the edge of the deep blue velvet gift box in her hand. The fabric was soft and delicate, cool to the touch. She didn't open the box, but the Rose Guarded by…

Three days later, Shen Silin returned to the company on time. The dust of Madrid seemed to have been washed away; she was wearing a neatly pressed light gray suit skirt, her long hair meticulously tied up, her face bearing the faint glow of sufficient rest, and her eyes calm and focused. In her hand, she held the finalized business trip report and follow-up documents requiring Ye Chang’s signature. She walked to the CEO’s Office door, raised her hand, and knocked three times on the polished mahogany…

Chapter Six In the conference room, the atmosphere was even heavier and more stagnant than it had been that morning. Ye Chang sat at the head of the table, spread out before her were the “original documents” submitted separately by Javier and Elena—one stack contained printed email correspondence, summaries of test reports, and meeting minutes; the other stack held detailed financial data tables and screenshots of several forecasting models. She turned the pages slowly, her gaze calm, occasionally…

Chapter 7 It was the same conference room, the same main characters, but the atmosphere was drastically different from yesterday. At exactly ten o'clock in the morning, Ye Chang pushed the door open and entered. Today, she wore a charcoal gray suit, the lines even sharper and colder. Her face was devoid of any superfluous expression, holding only a quiet, imposing authority. Shen Silin still followed slightly behind her. She now carried a thin tablet computer, which had been pre-loaded with background…

Chapter 8 In the evening, she changed into the black cocktail dress she had packed in her suitcase for just such an occasion—a classic style, not overly formal, but certainly not impolite. As she adjusted herself in the mirror, looking at the composed, well-made-up woman staring back, she felt a momentary sense of disconnect. She was now a completely different person from the girl who, years ago, had navigated similar settings with the carefree arrogance of someone still under the protection of her…

Chapter 3 The plane landed at Madrid Barajas Airport in the twilight. After the long flight, even the first-class cabin could not completely eliminate the deep-seated sluggishness. Ye Chang barely spoke. From the airport to the hotel, she kept her eyes closed, resting. Her profile, illuminated by the city lights streaming past the window, showed a rare line of fatigue. The hotel was located in the Salamanca District, quiet and tasteful. The front desk quickly completed the check-in procedures. "Your…

Chapter 4 The atmosphere in the conference room was stagnant. Operations Director Javier had just finished his urgent statement in Spanish about the technical difficulties, and his deputy, Annie, immediately followed up, speaking even faster and with clear anxiety: "Se puede decir que este chip es básicamente obsoleto, solo podemos tratarlo a bajo precio, de lo contrario, la pérdida es pesada." (It can be said that this chip is basically obsolete; we can only dispose of it at a low price, otherwise the…

In the break room, the coffee machine hummed, the aroma of milk foam mixing with a subtle, sweet scent of caramel. Several blonde, blue-eyed employees gathered around a small round table by the window, holding the company’s cheap mugs, conversing in hushed tones. “It’s started again, the high-level meeting, the door is tightly shut.” A technician wearing black-rimmed glasses and a plaid shirt took a sip of coffee and pursed his lips. “Javier’s face was green before he went in.” “What can…

Chapter 1 Shen Silin stood in the corridor outside the CEO’s Office at Ye’s Group, holding her resume. The position she was interviewing for was CEO Assistant. This role had not originally been vacant, but for some unknown reason, the previous assistant had been suddenly transferred to the Singapore Branch not long ago. For Shen Silin, the reason was unimportant; the result was what mattered. There were four candidates interviewing—three women and one man. Based purely on academic background, Shen…
