One by one, messages started pouring into the group. Somewhere, a quiet hand reached for the screenshot button.

As was discussed in the Group chats, Lu Zhao was currently listening to the quarterly report from the subsidiary company. However, some of the subsidiary companies’ reports were a hot mess, and Lu Zhao became frustrated.

“If this is the kind of report I’m getting, I don’t think you belong here.” The conference room was dead silent. The icy tone of Lu Zhao’s speech chilled the blood of many of his listeners.

“Next.” Lu Zhao coldly pushed the meeting forward.

He casually put down the offending document, and the sound of the paper rustling made the next reporter’s heart tremble.

The conference room door swung open unexpectedly. Fast as lightning, Secretary Li entered and leaned over to whisper in Lu Zhao’s ear.

Lu Zhao’s expression changed. When he finally did speak again, his tone was much more soothing. “Let’s break for lunch. Everyone should rest first. We’ll pick up where we left off in the afternoon.”

Lu Zhao got up and led the way out once he had finished talking.

Everyone was taken aback, and then a collective sigh of relief could be heard.

The conference room slowly cleared out as everyone left one by one. Someone announced the good news to the group with a jubilant, [It’s really over… It is now official: I am a Luo Ying fan!]

[Ditto. I hope Luo Ying comes to the company every day… Just now, it was as if President Lu’s personality changed in the blink of an eye. I didn’t know he could sound so human!]

In the office, Lu Zhao was currently having lunch with Luo Ying. Luo Ying didnt have much of an appetite, so she simply sat with him.

Suddenly, a phone rang.

“What’s wrong?” She saw Lu Zhao frown and asked.

“It’s about work. It’s okay.” Quickly, Lu Zhao stifled his feelings. “Aren’t you planning on eating more?

Luo Ying shook her head. “I had porridge before I came.”

She remembered the purpose of her visit and tried to speak, but she didnt know where to begin.

Her hangover seemed to have made her particularly rash today.

Even if she wanted to explain, she couldn’t promise anything to Lu Zhao.

There hadn’t been much progress on Jin Shi’s end, but if she could go return to her world, what would she do?

Luo Ying subconsciously wanted to avoid answering this question.

However, Lu Zhao appeared to have seen through Luo Ying’s intentions. The emotions in his deep eyes were complicated and difficult to distinguish. He naturally changed the topic. “Do you still have plans for the afternoon? “No more.” Luo Ying shook her head and took Lu Zhao’s lead to swallow the thoughts that were about to reach her mouth.

“Can you rest with me for a while?” Lu Zhao packed the lunchbox and escorted Luo Ying to the office’s lounge.

In the afternoon, everyone in the company saw Lu Zhao in a new light. It was as if his anger had been extinguished after a lunch break His words no longer stung, and his expression no longer turned them into ice sculptures. He did not even scold anyone when someone messed up a key proposal!

Was an afternoon nap really that powerful? Everyone felt a shiver run down their spine.

Secretary Li, on the other hand, did not take a break during lunch.

The screenshot from the employee group chat had been leaked.

Someone posted about Luo Ying’s visit to the company today, which caused quite a stir in Luo Ying’s fan circle. Thankfully, it was discovered in time. During the lunch break, Secretary Li was busy arranging for someone to delete the relevant discussions.

They also traced the IP back to the source of the information. It was a computer in this building.

Secretary Li raised his eyebrows at the floor where the IP was located.

This Group chat was initially created in private by a few employees, but more and more people joined later. It drew people from various departments of the company and almost became the group’s intelligence station.

How could such chatter be allowed within the walls of the company? Secretary Li quietly took over after learning of its existence. However, he didn’t dismiss the entire Group chat immediately. He simply kept an eye on it.

This time, he made an unexpected discovery. The poster was just one of the group’s inconspicuous employees. The post was also an ordinary post, but his post could stir up such a commotion in a short period of time.

If Secretary Li hadn’t deleted the post quickly, the issue could have become a hot topic in the afternoon.

Something was not right. Secretary Li was very puzzled. The Internet was so complicated. How could such a mundane post elicit such intense debate?

“Check these comments.” He quickly skimmed the post and drew up a list of key targets to send to his subordinates..
