When the elevator door opened, Zhan and Yibo stood next to each other as if nothing had happened. Except for their red cheeks, nothing special had been visible about them, and those would probably only have been noticed by a particularly attentive observer anyway.

Before the two walked into the open office of the marketing department, Yibo stopped briefly and asked Zhan not to tell anyone that they already knew each other. Zhan frowned, not really understanding why it was so important to him, but finally nodded and then followed Yibo at a distance of one meter into the open office where Yibo's staff and colleagues were busily working.

As soon as the two entered the office, the staff and colleagues immediately asked Yibo for his help or advice. They were still working out the final details for a big order whose meeting was to take place later today. Therefore, Yibo didn't let himself be asked twice, so he asked Zhan to wait for a moment.

While Yibo discussed the details of the project with his colleagues and went over a few finishing touches with them, Zhan took his time to look around the marketing department. He got a hot coffee from the visitor's coffee machine, returned to the office, sat down on one of the empty chairs and watched Yibo, who was still fully occupied with his work.

After a while, Zhan's gaze fell on his wristwatch and noticed that three quarters of an hour had already passed since they had both entered the office. And still Yibo was deeply absorbed in his work. Moreover, Zhan heard the staff talking about how the meeting would be in less than 30 minutes. And therefore he knew that Yibo would not have time to talk today. Work came first, and this was no different for Zhan.

And so Zhan decided to let Yibo continue working in peace and leave. In order not to disturb Yibo, he asked one of the employees who was standing next to him somewhat thoughtfully to tell Yibo that he had left. The employee nodded silently and then turned to go back to her work.

Of course, Zhan had also been a little disappointed that they only had such a brief moment together. But he could understand it too, because work is important. Especially when, like Yibo, at his age you're in charge of a department and everyone is watching him closely. Any mistake could have serious consequences. Such as the loss of orders and therefore the income of the company.

Zhan went to the stairwell and since he was in the basement of the company, he went up the one floor where he came to the entrance area. He walked towards the two doors of the entrance area and was about to go outside when someone called out to him. For a brief moment, Zhan hoped it was Yibo. But when he turned around, he saw only Yibo's brother, Wang Hai Kuan.

Patiently, Zhan waited until Hai Kuan reached him. He escorted Zhan outside and waited to say what he wanted until they were about 50 meters from the company's building. Then Hai Kuan turned to Zhan and said, "You and my brother know each other! I clearly saw the way you looked at each other!"

Zhan frowned and lied: "I think there is a misunderstanding. For a brief moment, I thought I had seen him before. But then I realized my mistake." He could only lie if he wanted to prevent Yibo from possibly getting into trouble.

"You really don't remember, do you?"

"Remember what?"

"About that night two years ago."

"What are you talking about?"

"I was at the club that night, too! I even talked to you briefly because I was with Cheng at the time. That's also why I saw my brother and you. And that's also how I know you spent the night together."

"So..."

"Listen Zhan. I'm not going to say anything. But if you get my little brother in trouble, I won't stay so kind! I won't let you become a stumbling block to my brother! He has worked so hard for his success that I can't let someone like you destroy his success!"
