Du Shuangyu was pleased.
He understood Lan Xichen's sly policy to let that fool Gao Xi think he was their boss's right-hand man, but he knew better.
His sharp mind knew well just how pumped up Gao's ego was, how unpredictable he was, how emotional, and just how smart Lan Xichen was as well, under that glossy façade of a bohemian and a party animal. Although... this last relationship...
Hmmm. His boss had changed.
This was probably the most important meeting in his career so far, and Lan Huan had chosen him. It was him who was traveling to the massive, ugly building of the Black Rock Corporation. Those motherfuckers! The correct thing was for them to come to their office, to their law agency, as they were the ones offering the deal!
Or... Or was it?! Was Lan Xichen the one offering a deal?
Hmmm. He didn't know.
His boss had been quite a mystery this past week. At times, he was grinning broadly, taking notes and doing some research online; at other times – he was just frowning, extremely grumpy and short-tempered, and he really liked to think that he was just too busy to be with his new lover... despite the undeniable fact that Jiang Wanyin was working just across the street.
They rarely visited theDeath these last days. Everyone was just so swamped by work!
Mister Yao was not someone you could easily ignore. True, it was just an inside joke among them, but the trio called the Black Rock Corporation "Evil Corp." for a damn good reason!
No one dared speak out the words, but Mister Yao's extremely, and extremely suspiciously, successful oil business was rumored to be hiding a deeper layer of a Dark-Net hackers' network, situated in China, used for blackmail and extortion of the very rich and the very powerful. Du Shuangyu's quick mind prompted him that this was what the news that wasn't in the newswas all about. People like Mister Yao made the blue-and-green globe go round, him and his billons of banknotes in all the currencies of the world.
