Employees are clustered around each other, engaging in the most popular type of conversations... Grapevine.
"Ohmagash!!! Mr Xie is so hot! Omaghad...."
"It's really surprising really, at first I thought our boss was the youngest business man around, turned out he has a challenger"
"Speaking of the boss, he changed ever since he saw the hot search.."
"Yes! I noticed it too! It's like! He found his long lost darling or something!"
"When I was taking the documents to his office, he seemed much gentler and in a happy mood as compared to usual, at first I didn't think much of it, but I accidentally heard Mr Xie's voice coming from his computer! Like! What?! "
"Is he into men? and a certain Mr Xie in particular?.."
"Shut up! You'll get fired if he hears you, maybe they're just friends who haven't seen each other for long"
" yeah, but I'm already knocking on their CP, let me be hopeful for once... "
"All you guys do is gossip nonsense, " says the administrative secretary, " come on, quick! Go arrange for the next meeting, all the company big shots who we work with will be attending, and fingers crossed that Mr Xie won't send a proxy this time...."
" but boss is also yet to reveal himself, is he attending the meeting in person, or are you attending on his behalf Admin? "
" I just spoke with him, " the administrative secretary paused and looked at the bunch of gossiping geese, smiled and said," Not this time! He's attending it personally, I think Mr Xie gave him that boost of 'fine, I'll do it myself' "
" yay, now everyone will also see that our boss is not half bad! "

Hua Cheng sat in his office staring at his High definition computer that's paused on Xie Lian's face. He doesn't know how many times he watched the interview, 800 times maybe? Who's counting....
Will Xie Lian blame him for taking so long to find him?
Is he upset?
Does he still remember him?
Does he love him? Or maybe it's just platonic at this point...
Will he recognize him? It's been years after all and at the time, he was just a shadow...
His thoughts were disrupted by a knock on the door
"Come in"
The secretary enters, standing in front of the desk, "Sir, all the invited members are in the meeting room"
"Is Mr Xie there too?"
" yes Sir"
" ok let's go "
