The tyrannical Emperor Lei entered his office with his assistant.

Shen Wangshu admired the exquisite decor for a moment, then sat down in his only genuine leather chair.

Lei Xuan didn't care about that. He took the documents in his hand, sat on the armrest of Shen Wangshu's seat, and slowly read them. After a while, he pulled Shen Wangshu into his arms and asked her to read them with him.

Although Shen Wangshu had known how to manage a company for a long time, she had become somewhat weak over time, so she took this opportunity to pick up those memories again. She nestled in Lei Xuan's broad, strong arms, flipping through the documents, asking questions about anything she didn't understand, and Lei Xuan patiently explained it to her. After reviewing the company's operations, Lei Xuan picked up a few documents from the table.

“Take a look at these cooperation projects and mergers and acquisitions,” he said softly to Shen Wangshu.

Shen Wangshu casually took the document, glanced at it a few times, and then focused his attention on one of the copies.

This is a collaboration project with the Gao Group.

That makes sense, though. The Gao Group is one of the largest conglomerates, so it's natural for the Lei family to have business dealings with them.

However, Shen Wangshu utterly loathed Gao Sen; the thought of the Sheng family's fate made her feel stifled. At this moment, flipping through the cooperation proposal, her eyes lit up when she saw it described an investment in a landmark commercial center in the city center.

She vaguely remembered that Gao Sen had invested a great deal of effort and time in this project, ambitiously wanting to expand it significantly. Unfortunately, in her previous life, Sheng Yao died before the project was finished, as it was a very large-scale project with diversified businesses. Even so, the project made the Gao Group famous. If the Lei family were involved in this life, things would likely be much easier.

"This project has great potential."

However, it was also very expensive. Although Lei Xuan didn't care about the money, he wanted to be more cautious.

"I remember there were major problems with the land for this project." Land in the city center is extremely valuable, and the land occupied by this project was enormous, leading to various disputes and complications. Shen Wangshu recalled that Gao Sen had been overwhelmed by these issues, and if it weren't for the fact that all parties were promised benefits and made concessions later on, the project would have failed.

Even so, there are still many issues involved. It can be said to be the most complicated project in recent years. Shen Wangshu frowned when he saw the cooperation proposal being described so casually.

"This cooperation proposal is too simple and vague. I've already sent someone to investigate." Lei Xuan asked Secretary Dong to bring coffee into the room, then paused, expressionless, and ordered a delicious cake.

A moment later, Secretary Dong entered with a serious expression, carrying coffee. Seeing Lei Xuan allowing Shen Wangshu to sit in his seat, her eyes flickered, but her face remained expressionless. She placed the cake in front of Shen Wangshu, her eyes twitching slightly at the sight of the several documents spread out on the table. However, as a competent secretary, she said nothing and silently withdrew.

Even the most composed secretary couldn't help but glance at Shen Wangshu abruptly as she closed the door. After all, casually flipping through Lei's documents and ordering cake from Lei Xuan, who never ate sweets, was no ordinary person.

"Secretary Dong..." Secretary Dong looked to be over forty years old, which surprised Shen Wangshu, who had seen many charming female secretaries and handsome male secretaries.

"It saves trouble." Lei Xuan opened his mouth and obediently ate the cake that Shen Wangshu fed him, showing no sign of disliking it.

As the president of Lei Corporation, he is handsome and wealthy, making him a highly sought-after man. Not only do beautiful women want to win him over, but men do too. So why would he dare to take on a beautiful secretary?

Secretary Dong is quite good; she's rigid in nature, capable at work, and best of all, she has a loving husband and an obedient son.

Lei Xuan felt more at ease with this kind of secretary.

He watched silently as Shen Wangshu happily ate the cake, noting that she seemed to prefer cream to cake. He was looking at the next cooperation proposal with her when he heard Secretary Dong knocking on the door, "President Lei, President Gao from the Gao Group is here to visit."

As an excellent secretary who always kept track of Lei Xuan's schedule, Secretary Dong obviously knew that President Gao of the Gao Group had arrived without prior notice. However, she also knew the weight of the Gao Group. Hearing the silence inside, she turned to Gao Sen, who was standing next to her, and said politely, "President Lei has just arrived. President Gao, please wait a moment."

"It's alright," Gao Sen nodded and said.

He squinted, stood for a while, and silently touched his lower abdomen.

It hurt terribly there. He hadn't paid attention to it yesterday because he was in a mess, but today he felt pain in his lower abdomen and looked down to see a sharp, blackened mark.

It was clearly Shen Wangshu's kick yesterday.

He thought of the cold and ruthless Shen Wangshu and had to admit that he had been dreaming about her all night.

That beautiful and elegant woman, whether gentle and compliant, or fierce and shrewish, or disdainful, had left a deep impression on him. Moreover, she was Sheng Jia's younger sister, so similar to her, and also a daughter of the Sheng family. He remembered that before Sheng Jia passed away, she only left him, her husband, some of her collected jewelry, saying it was for him as a keepsake, while the shares were all left to Sheng Yao. He paused for a moment, then took a deep breath.

He not only had feelings for Sheng Yao, but also the shares in the Gao family that he cared about, so of course he wouldn't miss her.

But yesterday, Chu Xiangyun cried all night at home, which made Gao Sen feel inexplicably sad.

He knew that Chu Xiangyun was wholeheartedly in love with him, and he admitted that he had been moved by her. However, when he met Sheng Yao, he forgot about Chu Xiangyun in an instant.
