It was getting late, so Zhou Liwan planned to wait for Shen Nanzhou for a while and then go home together.

Since he was free anyway, Zhou Liwan just picked up a financial magazine from his bookshelf to read.

Seeing that she was quiet, the man did not disturb her and just followed her.

Zhou Liwan was still curled up on the same sofa where she sat last time, but this time she didn't dare to cross her legs. She just bent her legs slightly and placed the magazine on her knees.

As she was flipping through the pages, she actually came across an interview with her uncle, but the man in the photo only had a side profile photo when he was being interviewed.

The man standing against the sunlight, wearing a well-tailored suit, is even more visually impactful.

"Effective management of suppliers..." Zhou Liwan murmured as he read. This was an interview on how Jiang's company managed its suppliers. There were a lot of professional terms throughout the article, making it a bit obscure and difficult to understand.

But he still felt a little touched. Thinking that he was about to take over the company, Zhou Liwan looked at it more carefully.

She not only watched Shen Nanzhou's interviews, but also interviews with other industry leaders and industry trends carefully.

Of course, there were still many things she didn't understand, so she marked all the places she didn't understand with small marks, and she would ask her uncle if she had the chance in the future.

The sky outside gradually darkened, but the office was still as bright as day.

When Zhou Liwan looked up again, she found that it was already dark. She put the magazine back on the bookshelf, but saw that the man was still working.

He didn't even give himself a glance.

The jelly on the table was not finished and there was still a lot of it left on the plate.

Zhou Liwan pretended not to see it and slowly walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, overlooking the countless lighted high-rise buildings in the CBD outside the window. The lights in each window shone like stars in the dark night.

"Are you hungry?" Shen Nanzhou's voice came from behind, still as cold as water, without any fluctuations.

Zhou Liwan turned around and said with some emotion: "Uncle, do you have to work so late every day?"

"It's okay. It depends on the situation. Sometimes it's earlier." Shen Nanzhou turned off the computer, stood up, and stretched his stiff shoulders a little.

Seeing this, Zhou Liwan thought how could he miss this opportunity to express his gratitude, so he quickly stepped forward and said with a smile: "How about I give my uncle a shoulder massage?"

"No need." Shen Nanzhou looked stern and coldly dissuaded her from doing that.

Zhou Liwan had already stretched his hand out into the air, but he awkwardly retracted it and scratched his head: "Oh."

Shen Nanzhou was silent for a while, his eyes slightly lowered: "Let's go, I'll take you to eat something first."

"Okay!" Zhou Liwan was actually a little hungry, and when he heard that they were going to eat, he immediately responded happily.

Shen Nanzhou didn't say anything else, turned around and walked out of the office.

Zhou Liwan followed closely behind, still trying to strike up conversation with Shen Nanzhou.

After entering the elevator, there were a lot fewer people.

The enclosed space always made her feel uncomfortable, even though Jiang’s elevator was very bright.

"Boom--squeak~" The ceiling light in the elevator, which was bright just now, suddenly flashed a few times.

Accompanied by violent shaking, the elevator suddenly began to descend rapidly.

Shen Nanzhou's face darkened, and he quickly pressed the buttons on all the floors and then rang the alarm.

The elevator was still falling, and what made Zhou Liwan even more desperate was that all the lights above went out, and the small space instantly fell into darkness.

She wanted to scream desperately, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't do it. She could only let her body slowly slide down the side of the elevator.

Shen Nanzhou's calm operation finally made the elevator stop between the third and fourth floors. The staff there also received a notice and were arranging for professional and technical personnel to take leave.

Firefighters are also on the way.

Things finally didn't get any worse. Shen Nanzhou felt relieved and turned around to comfort Zhou Liwan.

But he saw that she had collapsed on the ground. He frowned and realized that Zhou Liwan suffered from claustrophobia. He squatted down to show his concern.

"It's all right now, don't be afraid, someone will come to rescue us soon."

Zhou Liwan suddenly grabbed Shen Nanzhou's arm. When he raised his head, he was sweating profusely, his face was pale, and his eyes were wet and helpless: "Uncle, I'm scared... It's too dark here, I'm scared..."

Shen Nanzhou immediately took out his cell phone and turned on the flashlight. In the light, the girl's hair was already wet with cold sweat, and strands of it stuck to her cheeks.

As if she was suffering from great torture, her voice had begun to become hoarse, and tears as big as beans rolled down her cheeks and fell into Shen Nanzhou's hands: "Uncle..., we will be fine, right?"

Feeling the burning temperature, Shen Nanzhou's pupils suddenly shrank, and he subconsciously wanted to brush Zhou Liwan's hand away. After a long silence, he still hugged her in his arms.

Feeling that the other person was trembling, Shen Nanzhou whispered to comfort him: "Don't be afraid."

His tone was calm and steady, and seemed to carry a hint of helplessness. Those few light words instantly made Zhou Liwan feel much better.

She huddled tightly in Shen Nanzhou's arms. The man's muscles under his clothes were firm and hard, unlike the soft muscles of a girl's.

Her body stopped shaking so much, but she was still sweating coldly and staring at the elevator door with wide eyes.

Time seemed to pass very slowly, and fifteen minutes later a blinding light shone in from the two slowly opening doors.

Shen Nanzhou picked up Zhou Liwan and handed her up first, then he pushed himself out of the elevator with his arms.

There were three rows of men in suits standing at the door, with their heads hung in fear, not daring to breathe. At this moment, they really hoped that it was they who were trapped in the elevator instead of the two people in front of them.

A CEO, the granddaughter of a chairman.

"Find out the reason. Why did this safety problem occur?" For the first time, a gloomy look appeared on Shen Nanzhou's gentle face, and his eyes contained unprecedented hostility and annoyance.

The three rows of men in suits lowered their heads even lower.

All of them answered tremblingly: "Yes."

"Hurry up and take action, what are you waiting for?" Shen Nanzhou said sternly.

The group of people dispersed immediately, and the anxious Ding Xiangru rushed forward and checked Shen Nanzhou from head to toe. After confirming that he was fine, she was relieved: "BOSS, you..."

Before he could finish his words, the man walked past her and towards Zhou Liwan who was being examined by the medical team.

When Zhou Liwan saw the tall man approaching, she immediately held her mouth in grievance and stretched out her arms: "Uncle~~"

Shen Nanzhou's eyes were dim, but he still hugged the crying girl and patted her back with his big hands: "It's okay, it's okay."

Zhou Liwan nodded sullenly and said nothing more.

Assistant Han on the side was stunned. Their boss never liked to have skin contact with people and had severe mysophobia.

Today, I can actually tolerate the little lady's face full of snot and tears.

"I guess we won't be able to see the boss in this suit again." Special Assistant Han said gossipingly to Ding Xiangru.

Ding Xiangru rolled her eyes at him. She felt that today's boss suddenly became more affectionate. She originally thought that he was a robot who only knew how to work and never understood tenderness.

It doesn't seem so now. Thinking of this, Ding Xiangru's face was filled with expectation.
