France, city A.
Greenberg area.
On the periphery of the city, surrounding the chamber lake, stands the high-end Commercial area of city A. The area where every inch costs millions stands the corporation's buildings, which represent the economy of the whole country.
Greenberg Area represents not only wealth but also the power and status, a person holds within society. Owning a piece of land in this commercial area directly tells the worth of a person.
In the middle of the area, facing the front side of the chamber lake, stands the tallest skyscraper. Having a shining silver exterior, it gives off a majestic aura, which makes other neighboring buildings pale in comparison.
IG corporation, one of the world's top five richest corporations, has annual net worth of trillions. It has been a trendsetter and a major taxpayer in the business world for over a decade.
Top floor of the IG corporation,
In the CEO office, in contrast to the luxurious exterior, the inside of the office was very simple. black cabinets, black book shelves, and white lounge area. The whole office was set in a very sleek and minimalistic way.
On the right side facing the book shelves hanged a photo frame which covers half of the wall. The lady in picture leaned against the wall with her eyes closed, in the foyer with black rose background, her blood red dress emitted cold and elegant aura. color of dress makes her skin even more paler and bright.
Face of the lady was so exquisite that it could topple the nation despite it giving off a lonesome feeling. The minimalist design of the office and dark and elegant style of the picture blend perfectly.
Sitting in the middle of the office behind the reddish black office table was the very same beautiful lady. She was wearing a tight fitting knee-length black dress with a high ponytail and blood red lipstick on her slightly plump lips. The most mesmerizing feature of her face is her eyes, which are grey in color. It makes her already stunning looks even more prominent.
Her name was Han Li, the CEO of IG Corporation, Having inherited the best of her parents' genes, she was staggering in both beauty and brain. Eyes as sharp as eagle and aura of mystical beast surrounds her.
A knock made Han Li stop her pen as she raised her head, and a crisp, clear voice rang in the office.
"Come in,"
A woman in her mid twenties with a pixie hair cut entered through pivot door. She was wearing black dress pants and a simple black top, which made her look stylish.
Ling Yi entered the office, walked straight to the desk, and gave two black files to Han Li.
"These are the names and personal information about the new employees we employed in China." She said as she pointed to the first file before she continued, pointing at the second file "and these are the employees who will be staying to continue working here"
Han Li flipped through the second file and said in a low tone after looking at the number of employees "It seems there are quite a lot of people following us."
Ling Yi nodded "Yes Boss, there are a few others who also wish to go, but I made them stop. Otherwise, the work here would be messed up."
Han Li nodded as she flipped through the document and gave the first file back to Ling Yi. "Have Heng Yu check their profiles, see if there is any problem with their backgrounds, no need to be lenient."
"I understand." She replied in serious tone. Having been under Han Li for more than 10 years, she was well aware how important loyalty is in their field of work, especially when any leakage of internal news will result in losing more than just money.
Even if employees were not in any significant position, even the smallest internal structure and business schemes of the IG group were relatively secure. Every employed person will sign a non-disclosure contract, but when someone intends to betray, a contract is just a piece of paper for them.
Freeing up the space on the desk, Han Li looked at her Rolex pearlmaster 34 watch. It was 3:45, she frowned. "Where's Shen?"
The dress for the evening banquet had been ordered a while ago, and Li Yushen, Han Li's special assistant, had been tasked with picking it up. But now, he was late. If he didn't arrive soon, Han Li would be late for the banquet—a disaster that couldn't be allowed.
As Ling Yi thought, she made her way to the door intending to give him a call, when suddenly the door of the office flung open without prior notice and a man in his late twenties came into the view.
Having suddenly opened a door in front of her, Ling Yi almost got her nose cracked and before she could even complain, the other party beat her to that.
Ah! Miss Ling Yi!" A voice rang out, accompanied by the sound of a hand slapping a chest. "You almost gave me a heart attack! I thought a black shadow was going to eat me alive."
It was Li Yushen, Han Li's special assistant, a man in his late twenties with a laid-back attitude that often contrasted with his position.
Ling Yi froze, narrowing her eyes. "Mr. Special Assistant, don't you know how to knock before barging in?"
Li Yushen grinned, unbothered by her reproach. "I see you've been slacking off on your training, Miss Ling Yi! That's why you didn't hear my footsteps, huh? Should I report this to the Boss?" He raised an eyebrow, feigning innocence, with excited eyes as if he was aware of some top secret just waiting to spread.
"You!!" Hearing word 'slacking off' exclaimed Ling Yi as she looked at Li Yushen with red face, but suddenly remembering Han Li's presence, she calmed down, and shot him a glare which stated--"You are lucky that boss is here."
