Led by a guard, Sun Lifang met Chen Guiyi and his current wife in the cramped police station mediation room, which contained only a single overhead light, a table, and two chairs.

She was petite and thin, and the oversized gray linen casual dress made her look even smaller.

Upon hearing her voice, the woman timidly turned her head—

In this way, Sun Lifang saw the woman's full appearance.

He was about twenty-three or twenty-four years old, less than 1.6 meters tall, with an oval face, big eyes, and very fair skin.

Right now, with half her face wrapped in gauze, she was huddled in the arms of Chen Guiyi, who was over 1.9 meters tall, seeking comfort.

They were completely different ages, and in public, one of them was hanging around Chen Guiyi's neck, sitting on his big belly.

Is this what it looks like to be in custody?

Too greasy, Sun Lifang decisively turned to look at her husband and washed her eyes.

"Sister-in-law, you've arrived."

Chen Guiyi chuckled, then turned around, still holding the woman's lower body, to greet her, "Are you alright?"

He wanted to come over and talk, but the little woman in his arms let out a soft moan and buried her face in his shoulder.

Sun Lifang put on a professional fake smile, but she was still in a daze.

It's obvious that the couple is used to showing off their affection so openly, hugging and cuddling so blatantly.

As long as they're not embarrassed, it's others who are embarrassed.

Sun Lifang is feeling quite embarrassed right now.

And wasn't it said that the young wife was disfigured and half-dead, on the verge of death?

Indeed, we must "not believe rumors, and not spread rumors."

It's obvious that Wang Ran's description was an exaggeration.

Before she could think too much, Sun Lifang overheard Zhou Yunshi's conversation with the guarantor lawyer.

They've hired a top law firm to provide a guarantee; once you sign, you can take the person away.

Upon hearing this, Sun Lifang sighed.

It really is a money-driven society. Here, as long as you have money and connections, what can't you take with you?

Thinking of this, Sun Lifang went outside.

Knowing that someone was coming to his rescue, Chen Guiyi peeked around the mediation room—

Where is General Manager Zhou?

Everyone else can get out, but he can't.

An hour has passed, why hasn't Mr. Zhou brought the guarantee letter yet?

He was anxious and restless inside, but he maintained a calm and composed demeanor as he reassured his wife, "Wait a little longer, they probably need to go through some procedures over there."

But after an hour, two hours passed, and it was clear that the guards were about to lock up and go home.

Mr. Zhou, who was supposed to deliver the guarantee, has not yet appeared.

Is she angry?

Chen Guiyi was in a state of utter confusion.

He was too impulsive; he hit his ex-wife to show others.

His irrationality delayed the progress of the case and caused trouble for others.

In addition, in order to put oneself in a favorable position—

He deliberately shortened his young wife's wound treatment time and asked her to give a statement after leaving the hospital, in order to make his defense of "losing control" more convincing.

This is undoubtedly useful.

The victim pleaded for leniency in person, and only then did the police station grant him bail.

Everything is ready, but where is the guarantee?

Chen Guiyi tried to guess Zhou Yunshi's thoughts from different angles—

But after a short while, he gave up.

He simply couldn't understand President Zhou.

Today, as the incident just broke out and the other supervisors were seething with hatred for him, Chen Guiyi became afraid.

The problem arose because of me.

His ex-wife achieved her goal; all his colleagues distanced themselves from him.

Considering that this would affect his interpersonal relationships, Chen Guiyi subconsciously wanted to see Zhou Yunshi's reaction.

The other party did not blame him and their attitude was no different from usual.

In fact, you can't tell at all whether he's angry or not.

But this is the kind of thing that's most frightening.

Chen Guiyi both feared and respected Zhou Yunshi.

Those in power always use a combination of kindness and severity, Chen Guiyi thought—

Since Mr. Zhou found someone to vouch for him, this "favor" has already been bestowed.

Is the next "威" (wei) up to now?

After this incident, in terms of psychological tactics, Chen Guiyi has completely submitted to this young manager who is a generation younger than him.

This time, he truly experienced the art of manipulating people's hearts.

Wherever there are people, there is a social dynamic, and companies are no exception.

The company's senior executives include "second-generation rich" graduates from prestigious universities and those who studied abroad, as well as uneducated, rough-around-the-edges employees who started from scratch and worked their way up.

When these two factions are together, friction and disputes often arise.

At this point, Zhou Yunshi's stance as the boss becomes very important.

Chen Guiyi analyzed slowly—

All the executives wanted to be his buddy and outmaneuver the other faction.

However, Zhou Yunshi seems to have never expressed his support for anyone.

They always manage to achieve great results with minimal effort, giving people a sense of detachment.

But what's frightening is that Chen Guiyi realized—

That's what makes them so capable.

Ultimately, it all comes down to money; the way to run a company comes second.

People respect him because they can make money by following him.

The conflict between the two factions boils down to a difference in their ideologies and perceptions.

In a sudden moment of realization, Chen Guiyi was at a loss for words.

He could never be that calm and collected, able to understand everyone's thoughts and intentions.

Just like now, he has me completely under his control.

It was a willing and irresistible act.

Unlike his past impulsiveness in fighting bare-chested, the psychological game under the system left him with no way to retreat.

At the moment when hope is realized, at the moment when excitement reaches its peak, reduce it to the middle.

Delayed gratification kept Chen Guiyi hopeful, and he even wanted to continue to cling to her.

"Damn it, isn't this just dog training?"
