At night, on the thirty-second floor of a skyscraper in the very center of Linzhou City, by a window.
A man propped up his chin and gazed at Linzhou City's nightscape. There was not a trace of appreciation in his eyes, only some weariness and impatience.
He had checked his watch countless times. Finally, just as he was about to lose patience and dial again, the clacking of high heels came from outside the private room.
The door opened, and Dong Muyun appeared.
Only then did the man speak:
"Our agreed time was three hours ago, wasn't it? In other words, Dong Muyun, you're three whole hours late!"
Dong Muyun's expression did not change. She did not even offer a perfunctory apology, merely shrugging.

"Father has ordered me to temporarily take over two subsidiaries under Skycloud Group: Sky Cloud Real Estate and Jingkong Entertainment."
"What?"
Dong Muyun raised her brows and looked at Dong Mutian in disbelief.
"This is Father's order?"
"You can call and ask!"

But that only made it harder for Dong Muyun to understand.
"Dad, what's this supposed to mean? Haven't I always been managing Skycloud?"
There was silence on the other
