June 25th is an auspicious day for praying for blessings, opening a business, setting up a bed, breaking ground, and planting; it is inauspicious for offering sacrifices, burials, moving, and traveling.

June 25th was the day the Imperial College entrance exam results were released. Around 9 a.m., all the high school graduates were glued to their computers, waiting for the moment when the capital city would be at 9 a.m. to rush onto the website and check their scores!

Shen Beian is accompanying Gu Nanyan to work on the top floor of the Huanyu Building today.

Unlike in the past, Shen Bei'an experienced the sightseeing elevator that goes directly to the top floor of the Huanyu Building today.

The sightseeing elevator, ostensibly made of glass, offers views of the outside scenery.

There are two private elevators for the president of the Huanyu Building: a sightseeing elevator and a regular elevator. Shen Beian usually takes the regular elevator, but today he was in the mood and took the sightseeing elevator.

The World Tower has a total of 152 floors, with 142 floors above ground and 10 floors underground.

Each floor is more than 3 meters high, making it a building nearly 500 meters tall!

When Shen Beian stepped out of the elevator, his eyes were shining.

This is simply amazing!!

That was so awesome!

Who came up with this? It's so funny!

"Sir, this way." Meng Zhaojun accompanied Shen Bei'an upstairs.

Although Shen Bei'an had visited many times, Meng Zhaojun always personally came down to greet him each time.

"Zhaojun, who designed this sightseeing elevator? It's so much fun!" Shen Bei'an felt like he wanted to go again.

Meng Zhaojun wore a tea-white embroidered Ming-style long gown on top and a dark blue horse-face skirt with flowing cloud patterns on the bottom. Her black hair was tied up high with a silver crown.

"It was constructed by Uncle Gu when he was young, and then the BOSS added some embellishments after he took power."

When Gu Xiuhuang was young, he was much more adept at having fun than these spoiled brats in the capital today.

The colossal structure standing in the center of the capital was, to him, merely a place to have fun, nothing more.

Shen Beian was somewhat surprised. Was his father-in-law really that fun when he was young?

I can't feel it at all.

"Sir, you must have been to the City That Never Sleeps on Fuyun Island, right?" Meng Zhaojun asked again.

Mentioning this, Shen Beian was still somewhat unsatisfied. Last time, he was only too scared to talk about it, even though it was really fun!

I definitely want to go again next time I have time!

I need to get a new laptop, one that's more fun.

"The City That Never Sleeps was originally built by Uncle Gu, and later Xiao Qi and the others modified it." Meng Zhaojun also grew up with Gu Nanyan.

I also know Gu Xiuhuang quite well.

Shen Beian felt that he had gained a new understanding of his father-in-law.

Meng Zhaojun seemed to sense Shen Bei'an's emotions. "Sir, as you get to know them better, you'll find that the Gu family members are very easy to get along with, unlike other families in the capital, which have many rules and regulations."

Shen Bei'an experienced it firsthand, how could he not know?

Upon arriving at the office, Shen Beian waved his hand, signaling Meng Zhaojun to leave, and went inside himself.

All that could be seen was a woman in a Ming-style round-necked robe with silver embroidery, sitting behind a desk, her phoenix eyes behind her gold-rimmed glasses lowered.

He's holding a stylus and writing something.

They say that the most handsome men are those who are serious.

But here in Shen Bei'an,

A serious wife is the coolest!

"An'an, come over when you've had your fill of looking." Gu Nanyan's cool voice reached Shen Bei'an's ears.

"Yan Yan~" Shen Bei'an strode over, "Did you get a good rest today?"

"Don't stare at the screen for too long. Although the radiation is much lower now, it's still not good for your health." Shen Beian pulled up a chair and sat down next to Gu Nanyan.

Gu Nanyan raised his chin. "The paper versions are all here. Although the electronic versions are convenient, the paper versions are also safer, aren't they?" He took off his gold-rimmed glasses and placed them on the table, closed his eyes, and pinched the bridge of his nose.

Shen Bei'an consciously walked behind Gu Nan'an and gently massaged her temples. "Didn't Dad promise to help you? Why haven't I seen him?"

From Meng Zhaojun's words, Shen Beian had already sensed that his father-in-law seemed rather unreliable.

Gu Nanyan closed her eyes, enjoying her husband's massage. "Dad is lazy by nature, how could he possibly come at this time? He probably won't be able to come until July or August."

“With Zhaojun and the vice president here at the company, there’s no need to worry. I don’t have much work left to do,” Gu Nanyan explained.

Gu Nanyan knew his father all too well.

These things were arranged well in advance of her pregnancy; otherwise, she would have received far more than this by now.

"Where's Feng You? Wasn't Feng You supposed to be here too?" Shen Bei'an hadn't seen Feng You along the way.

His subordinates didn't stop working.

For Gu Nanyan's sake, the lazy Shen Wuye specially learned massage techniques from some old Chinese medicine practitioners.

"Does An'an remember how Dexin Club was booked for several days a while ago?" Gu Nanyan asked in return.

"I remember you said they were just a bunch of self-righteous idiots." Shen Bei'an remembered it vividly. Although he was curious at the time, he didn't ask too many questions.

Gu Nanyan reached out and took Shen Bei'an's hand, placing it on her shoulder. "An'an, please press here." His voice was gentle.

Shen Beian massaged her vigorously, her voice tinged with a hint of arrogance, "Feels good, doesn't it?"

"Of course, it's incredibly comfortable, even better than the master chef's cooking." Gu Nanyan didn't hold back his praise.

Shen Bei'an reached out and patted her, "It's not as exaggerated as you say! Tell me, tell me!"

Gu Nanyan smiled, "Feng You went to handle these matters. The place where those self-righteous people are located is called the 'Underground Alliance,' and Zhaojun has been officially appointed as its leader. The Underground Alliance belongs to the shadowy forces, so it wouldn't be appropriate for Zhaojun to appear in person. But Feng You, who controls the dark forces, is the perfect person to handle these matters."

It's better to leave things done in the shadows to professionals.

Shen Beian massaged himself while pondering.

Underground alliance?

It seems like the female lead has a disguise? (I heard this in my ear.)

Vice Leader, Die Rose.

The Death Rose.

Death Rose has always been the female protagonist's code name.

Why does it feel like the wife is also criticizing the female lead?

"Yan Yan, are you saying that the underground alliance is full of bad people?" Shen Bei'an still has a lot of filter for the female lead, even though it seems that the female lead's halo has disappeared now.

How could Gu Nanyan not know what he meant?

“There are good ones, but not many. Ziqing is here too. They're all sent to manage things. There can't be only one bright side to this world. There are always places where the sun doesn't shine. Rather than letting things grow wildly, it's better to keep an eye on them from the beginning.”

Shen Bei'an knew that Shen Juanqing was also there, another vice leader of the alliance.

However, in the original text, neither of them knew about each other's alternate accounts, and they had even fought each other.

Wait a minute, it seems like they were fighting each other not long ago!

But it seems that Qingqing didn't go this time, right?

So you didn't fight?

Shen Beian shook his head, trying to get rid of these things.

My wife is right, that's absolutely true.

This was also the reason why the authorities allowed the underground alliance to exist at the time.
