36.Li Zixuan

It was around 7.00 pm in the evening inside one of the tallest building in the capital. The opulent building had a luxurious and eye-catching decor. It was the center of the Li Business World company's operations and administration.

 The company was one of the best in the country and one of the best not only in the entire Asia but it's influence was greatly felt internationally in different continents.

 It had it's main roots in construction and real estate. The company was a multibillion conglomerate that had many subsidiaries scattered all over the world, that dealt with different sectors like hotels and restaurants, malls, IT etc .

 The company was the Li family's business. It was pioneered by the family's old master, Li Cheung as a small construction and real estate company. Since then, it has flourished to a huge multibillion conglomerate in the guidance of capable CEOs who succeeded the old man.

 The current CEO was the old man's eldest grandson, Li Zixuan. He was a 29 years old man and had taken over from his dad Li Chao, the eldest son of the old master Li.

 Li Zixuan was a capable and ruthless CEO who ruled with an iron fist and brought the company to it's greatest heights and glory.

Li Zixuan was the eldest young master of the Li family's second branch.

Continent M a small and mysterious island country located on the eastern side of the globe was one of the remaining absolute mornachies. 

The reason why it was named continent m was because it was located further into the sea away from other countries thus refused to be affiliated with any continent becoming a continent on its own. Despite living a mysterious and solitary life, Continent M could be ranked among the top countries whether it's in its economy, technology, development or the people's living standards.

Continent M had been headed by kings for many centuries and the last 5 kings had basically hailed from the Li family in the Capital. Li Zixuan's family was the second branch of the country's Royal family. His grandfather was the King's second brother. 

 The current king was an old man in his early seventies, King Li Wei. Although kingship was hereditary in the country, the king still retained the authority to appoint his own successor whom he deemed fit whether he had the Royal family's blood and surname or not.

And the current king became the first to break the norms by choosing his grandson as the heir to the throne instead of any of his sons. The heir was the crown prince, Prince Li Zihan , the future king of Continent M and also the son of the 3rd prince ( king's 3rd son.) 

Very little information was known about the crown prince, not even his face had ever been seen in public. He was known to always wear a silver mask in public gatherings. Nevertheless, he was still the most popular prince among the people due to his heroic achievements. He had been serving the army since his teenage and was basically popular as the country's youngest military commander.

 It was past working hours but some employees were still in their offices and working stations working overtime. Their CEO was a workaholic himself thus for some of them it was embarrassing to leave while the CEO was still working. Some were working overtime to meet their deadlines while others were equally workaholics like him.

 LBW ( Li Business World ) only hired the most competent and hardworking employees. The CEO hired people strictly based on their skills and competency whether one is a high rate graduate or a non graduate, from the best schools or not. Every type of person had an equal chance to compete for employment in the company using his/ her skills.

 Inside the CEO's luxurious and large office in the top executive floor, Li Zixuan was standing Infront of the large French windows staring at the busy street down the building. The LBW tower was located at the heart of the capital.

 Li Zixuan's distraught eyes were in a daze. A hint of darkness flashed across his deep blue eyes. They were deep but clear and cold.

 He wore a black expensive suit that fitted his tall and lean body perfectly. His face was devoid of any expression and he gave off an icy aura that seeped from his bones. He was ruthless, pure evil, powerful but handsome.

 He had a refined, aloof and noble temperament and his features were perfect. He stood in a straight posture his hands in his pants pockets, his back facing the closed door.

 Outside the door, a young man in his mid twenties stood nervously Infront of the tightly shut door. He had a stiff expression on his face. He looked funny with his round glasses on his eyes but his features were equally striking.

 He kept lifting and hastily lowering his hand from the door as if he was being stung making the people around the area to give him pitiful gazes.

 The CEO's cold and aloof demeanor usually sent shivers down the spines of all his employees. All would shudder and scamper at the mere sight of him.

 Tan Liang the young man at the door was the CEO's personal assistant. People usually envied him but he was the only one who knew how frightening and tiring it was to work for Li Zixuan especially having to deal with his awful mood swings.
