“What do you need help with, President Xiao? I will do anything you need.” Song Guohua had not expected to be able to hop onto Xiao Yuanmu’s ship so easily. He was so excited that he started to shake slightly. There was also a tremor in his voice as he spoke.

Xiao Yuanmu gazed into the distance, taking in the sight of the congested traffic beneath him. There was an obscure look in his eyes. He didn’t speak for a long time.

Despite not hearing anything from the other side, Song Guohua didn’t dare to urge Xiao Yuanmu to speak. He lightened his breath and cautiously waited for an answer.

Someone then knocked on Xiao Yuanmu’s door. Xiao Yuanmu looked away from the window and told the person to come in without hanging up.

Yang Jie pushed the door open. When he saw that Xiao Yuanmu was currently holding his phone, a flash of understanding flickered through his eyes. “There are ten minutes until the break is up. Xiao ge, do you want to eat something or maybe delay the meeting a bit longer?

“No need,” Xiao Yuanmu said in a flat voice, “The meeting will reconvene on time.”

Yang Jie nodded. He looked at the phone in Xiao Yuanmu’s hand hesitantly. He had been about to say something else, but the phone in his own pocket started to ring. When Yang Jie pulled the phone out and glanced at it, his mind blanked. He then looked at Xiao Yuanmu as if he had something to say.

Noticing Yang Jie’s expression, Xiao Yuanmu thought that the other had something serious to tell him. Therefore, he hung up the phone and asked, “What’s wrong?”

“This call…” Yang Jie raised his phone and directed the screen towards Xiao Yuanmu. “It’s from Song shao.”

Xiao Yuanmu’s expression changed slightly. He turned his face slightly towards the window again and said, “Take it.”

Yang Jie paused for a few seconds before answering the call on speaker.

“Hello? Song shao.”

Song Xuanhe, who had just been saved by Li Nianan from Song Xuanlin’s grasp, was in a fairly good mood. You could hear it in his voice. “Yang Jie, where are you right now?”

“I’m at Xiao…” Yang Jie saw the expression Xiao Yuanmu directed towards him and changed what he was going to say. “I’m in the meeting room, arranging the documents for the upcoming meeting.”

“Do you know where Xiao Yuanmu is now?”

Yang Jie glanced at Xiao Yuanmu’s expression again. Seeing that the other didn’t turn to look at him, he told the truth. “President Xiao is in his office.”

“Is he busy?”

Xiao Yuanmu nodded slightly. Yang Jie thus said, “Very busy. President Xiao worked overtime last night and didn’t even go home. He had to hold a shareholder meeting early in the morning too. The meeting had lasted five hours before he got a break….”

“Is that so?” Song Xuanhe clicked his tongue. He then lied without blinking, “No wonder he didn’t pick up my call just now. He’s probably fallen asleep at the office.”

Yang Jie looked at Xiao Yuanmu. Xiao Yuanmu took two steps towards him and indicated for Yang Jie to continue.

“President Xiao is probably still awake. Do you want me to find him for you?” Yang Jie didn’t know what else to say. He just wanted to end the call as soon as possible.
