Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
He Ming was wearing a mournful expression. “Boss, I really can’t do it. You should find someone else or go yourself. 1 truly don’t dare to go up there.”
Lin Qianyu spoke seriously, “I’m scared too. Among us here, no one isn’t afraid of him.”
Jin Nian couldn’t help but chuckle at their conversation. “Is it really that exaggerated?”
“Of course!” Lin Qianyu responded.
Since the company had been acquired, Lin Qianyu had met this big boss before. Initially, seeing his young age, he thought he could easily handle him. However, he later realized just how wrong he was.
This young CEO appeared indifferent and approachable, but he was shrewder than anyone else. He could pinpoint any mistake with just a glance.
He still remembered the time when he misspoke during a meeting. The CEO immediately seized upon it and launched a fierce verbal attack, “If you’re not prepared, don’t waste my time. If you can’t handle it, better to change personnel sooner.”

Since He Ming couldn’t do it, Lin Qianyu had no choice but to turn to Jin Nian.
“Xiao Jin, I’m entrusting you with this task. You must get the CEO’s signature.”
Jin Nian was currently occupied with work, so she didn’t bother to refuse. She told him to leave the documents there, saying that she would go later.
With her assurance, Lin Qianyu felt somewhat relieved. However, before he left, he reminded her to ensure that the task was completed before the end of the workday.
“Alright.”
It was just about getting the CEO to sign a document. Why did it feel like being thrown into a frying pan? Did the Fire Dragon eat people?
When Jin Nian had almost finished her tasks, she picked up the document and prepared to head to the 18th floor to find the CEO for the signature.
While waiting for the elevator, Jin Nian, out of boredom, took out her phone to check Weibo. At just the right moment, Xia Yu messaged her.
Xia Yu asked, “Did you change your profile picture and nickname? I almost couldn’t find you.”
Jin Nian said, “What’s up? Do you need something from me?”
Xia Yu replied, “Weren’t you interested in seeing our boss’s photo?”
As she finished typing, Xia Yu sent a photo. Jin Nian was about to open it when the elevator arrived. Unfortunately, she lost her signal the moment she stepped inside, and the photo wouldn’t load.
At that moment, other employees entered the elevator, and Jin Nian silently stood at the back. Conversations began up front.
“What’s wrong with the boss? Wasn’t he in a good mood this morning? Why is he getting angry again in the afternoon?”
“I heard there’s a problem with a project worth over a hundred million. If I were him, I’d be angry too.”
“Oh my god, how long is his anger going to last? Can anyone go extinguish the fire? 1 still have several documents needing his signature, but I don’t dare to go now!”
“Sigh, let’s pray for divine intervention.”
Jin Nian listened to their words in silence, her breathing unconsciously lightening. She no longer had the mood to play with her phone and tucked it back into her pocket.
Though she had initially thought there was nothing to fear, it was impossible for her not to be scared in this situation.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWhen the elevator reached the 18th floor, the people in front of Jin Nian exited, and she followed suit. This was Jin Nian’s first visit to the CEO’s office on the 18th floor. She heard that this entire floor belonged to the CEO’s office without division into other departments.
Walking on the plush carpet, Jin Nian unintentionally overheard some voices not too far away. She couldn’t make out their words but could sense the anger in the tone.
As Jin Nian approached, she saw three individuals standing at the CEO’s office door. Seeing them there, Jin Nian halted as well. The colleagues immediately looked at Jin Nian.
One of them asked, “Are you here to get the boss’s signature too?”
Jin Nian replied, “Yes.”
The people inside were still talking, and a few of them obediently waited in line outside.
Jin Nian, feeling bored, opened her chat with Xia Yu and refreshed the photo.
In the next second, she froze in place.
In the photo, a man stood tall among the crowd, holding a wine glass, his gaze calm, and his well-fitted suit making him look even more imposing. Xia Yu attached a comment below, “1 feel that the other photos didn’t capture Fire Dragon’s handsomeness. This one was taken at the last company cocktail party. 1 think it’s the one that resembles him the most.”
Jin Nian didn’t snap out of her daze for a long time. This person was Fire Dragon?
This Lu An, who had been whining to her on her phone just now, was that Mr.. CEO?
