Li Yufei’s face, which was originally filled with a smile, instantly turned gloomy.

He suddenly turned his head, his eyes sharp as knives, "Bai Rui! Is this true?"

"I... I didn’t... it’s just... just that..." Bai Rui’s lips trembled, sweat like streams sliding down his chubby cheeks.

"Just what?!"

At this moment, several other employees in the content department, after a brief exchange of glances, stepped forward one after another.

"President Li, Director Bai did indeed say that."

"Yes, we all know about this."

...

They had endured Bai Rui’s wrath often, and now was a rare opportunity to strike while the iron was hot!

Moreover, they weren’t fools. Zhang Yan would soon hold the power of life and death over them as a client!

They had to curry favor.

Listening to the rising accusations, Li Yufei’s face became so gloomy it was almost dripping.

Of course, he was aware of Bai Rui manipulating performance; he didn’t oppose it when he found out, which was tantamount to tacit approval.

After all, the company was indeed encountering difficulties—it was nearly impossible to pay salaries.

But now, faced with this situation, he naturally had to "cut off a tail to survive."

Li Yufei said solemnly, "Zhang Yan, rest assured! I will personally investigate this matter and give you a satisfactory explanation!"

Bai Rui’s plump body heaved violently as he spoke tremblingly, "Zhang Yan, my previous actions were indeed problematic, and I sincerely apologize here. However... it was all for the company’s sake..."

"Bai Rui, shut up!" Li Yufei interrupted sharply, "Stop using the company as an excuse here!"

Seeing the big boss’s face turning ashen, Bai Rui’s eye corners twitched violently, yet he finally closed his mouth.

Wang Dandan stepped forward appropriately and said with a smile, "Alright then, President Li, I think it’s best we follow protocol. Our group always has strict requirements for our partners’ employment practices."

Li Yufei immediately understood, nodding repeatedly in agreement, "Yes, yes, you’re right, we will strictly comply, we definitely will..."

Zhang Yan stood at the center of the storm, watching this absurd yet incredibly real scene before her.

She gradually realized that today’s scene was obviously Wen Ruan intentionally helping her.

The once intimidating Director Bai, who left her floundering in fear, was now drenched in sweat, looking utterly ridiculous.

The colleagues who once sympathized with her in private but dared not speak, were now all indignant.

The big boss Li Yufei, who she previously saw as holding the ultimate power over the company, was like a student who had made a mistake.

For the first time, she deeply and clearly felt the power of "authority" and the complexity of human nature.

It left an indescribable shock within her heart.

And she increasingly realized the distance between herself, Tang Song, Wen Ruan, and even Liu Qingning.

...

Ten thousand meters in the air, the Bombardier Global 7500’s fuselage traveled smoothly through the clouds.

Outside the window was the clear blue sky and the golden sea of clouds stretching below.

Inside the cabin, it was quiet and luxurious.

Tang Song leaned lazily on the Nuage patented seat in the entertainment and living area, touted as "zero gravity."

The top-grade Loro Piana cashmere and leather blend fabric felt delicate and warm to the touch, perfectly conforming to his body, making him almost oblivious to any turbulence or engine roar.

Just finished with a video call, the screen still bore the lingering image of Wen Ruan’s charming face with a slightly smug smile.

As soon as the plane entered the stratosphere and began cruising, the "elder sister" video call came in, enthusiastically reporting the "good show" that took place today at Shu Cheng Technology.

Of course, it was mainly to claim credit, showing her importance and efforts towards the promise between them.

Tang Song put down the phone and now truly assumed the stance of the master to properly inspect this "Sky Palace" of his own.

From the nuanced ebony wood veneer to the switchable fogged glass windows; from the private cinema system equipped with top-notch audio to the temperature-controlled wine cabinet filled with fine wines...

Every detail within sight exuded ultimate luxury and comfort.

He paced slowly on the soft and resilient custom cashmere carpet.

Leaving the entertainment and living area.

Two flight attendants in dark custom uniforms, who had been waiting on the side, elegantly bowed and greeted in unison.

"Mr. Tang."

"Mr. Tang."

One with a typical gentle Huaxia face, named Li Yin; the other a tall blonde Russian beauty, named Anna.

Both aged in their late twenties, not only fluent in multiple languages, but also possessing professional medical and nursing qualifications.

Whether it was service experience, personal image, or overall capability, they were considered top in the industry.

As they gazed at their extraordinarily handsome new boss, there was an imperceptible hint of curiosity and awe in their well-trained eyes.

Tang Song nodded slightly at the two and continued forward.

Entering the six-seat conference area in the middle of the cabin, a familiar figure came into view.

Lin Muxue was sitting in an airline seat in the corner, a laptop opened in front of her, fingers dancing briskly over the keyboard, as if handling some urgent work.

Her standard office lady attire showcased her professionalism and elegance as a workplace woman.

Her long, well-proportioned legs, wrapped in top-quality stockings, appeared especially seductive and alluring.

Worth noting was the suction-mounted action camera still functioning beside the window in front of her.
