The clock on the wall turned round and round, and Zhou Bei, cradling the documents passed up from each department, looked at the solitary and icy figure standing before the floor-to-ceiling window and said, "Mr. Qi, all the departmental documents have been handed in, can we let them off work now?"
"Mhm," Li Yeqi responded indifferently, and Zhou Bei put down the files before turning to leave.
The lights of the Li Corporation tower went off one by one, and the employees left the company in small groups until only the light in the CEO's office on the top floor remained, with the man beside the window seemingly merging with the night outside.
The CEO's office was so quiet that the sound of a needle dropping to the floor could be clearly heard. As the night deepened, Li Yeqi raised his wrist to check the time, the hour hand pointing to 12.
His thin lips curved slightly, and he gave a light chuckle.
