The time had come to 3 p.m., when Shang Yu was suddenly called away by Liuyun for an urgent international video conference that required his attendance.
Alone, Li Qiao nestled on the office sofa, glancing at her old workstation, then after a moment, she narrowed her eyes and strolled over.
Her desk still held the computer she had used during her internship.
Li Qiao took a seat, switched it on, and the screen displayed her favorite image of a star-filled universe.
She unconsciously curved her lips into a smile, glanced at Shang Yu's large desk, and the smile deepened.
At that moment, the phone beside her rang.
Li Qiao picked it up and casually answered, "Uncle Zong."
Uncle Zong was the private auctioneer assigned to Li Qiao by the Venus Auction House, responsible for handling all her auction-related affairs at Venus.
