On the upper floor of a high-rise building, inside the main office, Assistant Cheng Li placed an invitation on Fei Chuan's desk.
"It's the Lin family's banquet scheduled for next week. Will you attend?"
Fei Chuan didn't even glance at the invitation. "No."
Cheng Li retrieved the envelope with a sigh. "I heard from our intel that Head Master Lin plans to announce the heir that day. There's a strong chance your friend, Lin Sanju, will be named. You're really not going?"
Fei Chuan, wearing his gold-rimmed glasses, continued typing on his computer. "No. She won't be attending anyway."
Cheng Li exhaled heavily and tucked the invitation back into his pocket. He'd have to compose a polite reply to decline it.
Over the next few hours, he brought several more invitations to Fei Chuan, but all were met with the same response.
"I don't plan to go out next week. Decline them all. I need to finish encoding this by then."
