Having stayed at Gu Yang's company for almost ten days, Gu Hai practically knew all the ins and outs of its procedures to the tee. Every item in the company-from the largest machine and equipment to the smallest office stationery and handicraft-as long as Gu Hai fancied it, he would order someone to ship it back to Beijing without exception. In addition, employing a 'cost cutting' method as a firm and indisputable reasoning, he easily reduced the company's original funding by two-thirds. As for where that elusive one-third of the funds had gone, no one knew except for Gu Hai.

Aside from that, Gu Hai has been attempting to hack into the confidential files on Gu Yang's computer with much zeal, but each time, he was met with failure as the screen always displayed an [incorrect password!] window. Much to his dismay (not much), even the small veins at the side of his forehead twitched just the slightest from annoyance. Not to mention, the main security features were facial and or fingerprint recognition-that alone-made the computer completely unlike the group of idiots outside who has yet to detect that someone important has been changed for another.

While racking his brain for all the possibilities, a bright idea suddenly came to him; he wanted to give Bai Luo Yin's date of birth a try. However, just as he placed his finger on the keyboard, his emotion abruptly sank. He would rather not figure out the password than know that it had something to do with Bai Luo Yin.

After a long while, Gu Hai controlled the anxiousness in his heart and entered Bai Luo Yin's date of birth.

A system error message promptly popped up the screen.

Gu Hai silently sighed in relief as he looked at the error. Lucky that wasn't it.

Just as he was about to attempt some other passwords, the doorbell to the office suddenly went off.

"Come in."

Two young faces that he knew all too well, impeccably attired in western-style suits, walked in with confidence and charisma. During the time that he has been here, those two were responsible for transporting all the goods under Gu Hai's command.

"Gu Zong, the samples you wanted us to ship out has all been returned."

"Returned?" Gu Hai's brows knitted together slightly as he asked, "Why?"

Before the two could answer, an unfamiliar voice sailed in.

"I had it all returned."

Suddenly, a silhouette flashed by, causing Gu Hai's expression to freeze. With a desirably tall and slender figure, quite handsome appearance, and a gaze that held an abundance of intensive electrical sparks-it seemed like no matter which direction the person went-that brightness radiated magnificently.

Of course, the reason Gu Hai paid attention to him was not because of his appearance. But rather, he felt that the person looked seemingly familiar.

"Both of you can leave first!" Gu Hai looked indifferently at them and said.

Once it was only him and the other person in the office, Gu Hai didn't waste any time to ask, "Why did you ship it back?"

With a cold expression, the man across from him said, "Those things belong to the company, why does it need to be shipped out?"

"Haven't I explained already? Those are not sellable and are merely semi-finished products that need to be launched into the market as trials......" Gu Hai said with confident while discreetly sliding the mouse in search of the employees'record. Finally, he found the page about that person: Tong Zhe, 28 years old, Vice General Manager and Executive Assistant to the CEO.
