In the afternoon, after the new company's work meeting, Lü Jiao walked to the conference room stage and began to recount, word by word, the dirty deeds she had done behind the scenes over the past few years.

Sighs and laughter filled the air, and some of the employees she had wronged even rushed at her to attack her. Gan Tang listened for a while, then walked out of the company building, satisfied.

The sky was clear and blue, with clouds drifting freely. In his more than twenty years of life, Gan Tang had never felt so exhilarated, like a king wielding an emperor's sword, filled with boundless pride.

"Yuan Biao, want to eat barbecue? I'll take you."

As she spoke, Gan Tang noticed that someone was missing and asked, "Where is Mo Huaixing?"

He disappeared during lunchtime. Gan Tang suddenly felt a little lost, not seeing his swift and decisive revenge, but also somewhat relieved that he didn't know about her past cowardice and weakness.

"He said he was tired and went back to his car to rest." At this point, Yuan Biao's face showed disgust. "Last night, he spent the first half of the night serving President Cheng in the room, and the second half going to a nightclub with a bunch of guys. Of course he'd be tired. Miss, some people are just good-looking, but they're not clean. I'm different, I..."

Before she could even utter the word "clean," Gan Tang glared at him, embarrassed and annoyed. "What nonsense are you spouting? Call someone right now!"

For some reason, she was extremely reluctant to let others say that Mo Huaixing was Fu Cheng's male concubine. Even if it were true, it wouldn't be acceptable.

A short while later, Mo Huaixing drove up to the two of them.

Yuan Biao smugly ordered, "Miss wants barbecue, find the most upscale place."

As he spoke, he opened the back door.

After Gan Tang sat down, he asked Yuan Biao to drive the car.

Yuan Biao exclaimed "Ah!" The young lady had two subordinates, and the one who didn't drive naturally held a higher status. Although he had driven himself here, he thought that after a day of hard work, things would be slightly different.

"Huh?" Gan Tang urged him to come over, "Didn't you say he was tired last night?"

Yuan Biao waved his hand in fright. He might talk about Mo Huaixing behind his back, but he really didn't dare to say it to his face. After all, Mo Huaixing did have men under his command.

"Miss, shall we go to the island in the middle of the lake? I've heard that the island has the most beautiful sea view and the best barbecue in Tianjin." Yuan Biao had only heard of it, but had never been there.

Gan Tang shook her head and directed her most expensive sports car to the pedestrian street next to a shopping mall she frequented.

The pedestrian street is along the river, with barbecue stalls one after another, their tables set up along the empty riverbank. In winter, there aren't many people.

"Boss, three people, ten skewers, no, thirty skewers of lamb, and three bottles of beer." Gan Tang reminded the two who were still standing, "Sit down!"

"Young Miss, how about we go somewhere else?" This place looks rather unhygienic. Yuan Biao felt fine eating here, but he didn't want the young lady to get an upset stomach.

"No!" Gan Tang tore open the sterilized bowl and chopsticks and poured hot water to wash them. "You know what? When I used to pass by here on my way to and from get off work, my biggest wish was to eat here and never have to look at the menu again. I could just order whatever I wanted and eat as much as I wanted."

A full glass of beer, Gan Tang downed in one gulp, feeling refreshed and invigorated.

"Didn't you see it? Old Xu looked like he wanted to hit someone but was holding it in. His face turned a whole liver color. Isn't he the one who loves to teach people to be patient and to make sacrifices? I want to see how he'll be patient and how he'll make sacrifices when everyone in the company is bossing him around."

"Just bear with it. When you've mastered the art of forbearance and become Marshal Tianpeng, he'll have to thank you, Miss." Yuan Biao echoed Gan Tang while pouring her wine.

"Marshal Tianpeng? His head is swollen like a pig's..." Gan Tang chuckled. "You have a sharp tongue. And that Lü Jiao, she does no work all day, either showing off how beautiful and rich she is, or scheming against other people's work results, and then laughing at them for being poor and stupid. If you're so capable, don't cry, let's see how you pretend to be a phoenix in the future."

“That’s right, all the hair has fallen out, it doesn’t look like a naked butt.” Yuan Biao’s words made Gan Tang almost choke.

Seeing that Mo Huaixing remained silent, she gently patted his shoulder and asked, "Do you think Lao Xu will ever abuse her in the office again?"

"Young Miss, you're drunk, go home!"

"Who do you think you are? You get drunk after just one bottle of beer?" Gan Tang glanced at his dejected look and assumed he was upset about something. She patted his shoulder and said boldly, "Tell me what's wrong, and I'll stand up for you."

Mo Huaixing pushed her hand away, still without saying a word.

Seeing his disappointed look, Yuan Biao couldn't help but complain, "Miss is in a good mood today, what's with your long face? That rotten woman called you 'brother' twice, you didn't actually fall for her, did you?"

"What nonsense are you spouting!"

Seeing that the two were about to start arguing, Gan Tang pushed Yuan Biao and said, "Go back first."

"Young Miss!" Yuan Biao jumped up and down in grievance.

"Come on, come on, drive the car away, we'll take a taxi back later." Gan Tang said with a smile, pulling Yuan Biao along. Yuan Biao had no choice but to drive away.

In winter, darkness falls early. All the tall buildings and streetlights are lit. Even the barbecue stall owners turn on their bulbs, making the entire river surface shimmer.

Looking at the silent Mo Huaixing, Gan Tang couldn't help but wonder, "You don't actually like a woman like Lü Jiao, do you?"

"No!" Mo Huaixing removed her hand that was touching him.

"So what do you mean? You don't like barbecue? Just say so." Gan Tang waved and called to the owner to settle the bill.

As we were paying the bill, a girl's voice came from the next table urging us: "Hurry up and eat, Zhou Shuai's concert is about to start, I finally managed to get tickets."

Zhou Shuai is a singer that Gan Tang has liked since she was a child.

"Hey, do you want to go to a concert?" Gan Tang casually asked Mo Huaixing, then got up and walked to the next table. It was a young couple; they looked like they were either still in college or had just graduated.
