Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Although Mo Yu spent her time in the practice room every day and worked hard, it was still her first time on stage after all. It was inevitable that she would be nervous.

The high-strung nerves and the huge pressure on the stage made her exhausted. Unknowingly, she fell asleep on the sofa.

Gu Lian also left the stage. There was a special pcrson-in-chargc for jewelry auctions, so he did not have to worry.

Moreover, the items being auctioned were his own family’s designs. If he wanted anything, he could just tell Su Mei directly. There was no need to specially bid for it. Compared to this, he had more important things to do now.

Gu Lian returned to the lounge backstage and turned on the surveillance cameras.

Mo Yu told him about the cooperation and asked him to look at the surveillance cameras when he was free. Perhaps there would be unexpected gains. Although he did not think that this reminder was useful, for some reason, he subconsciously carried it out.

The surveillance footage were divided into countless small compartments that flickered on the computer screen. Gu Lian stared at the screen in boredom and suddenly recalled the interns’ conversation he heard when he got off work one day.

The Gu Corporation was indeed a large company that many people dreamed of, but the work content and requirements were extremely harsh. Many people could not withstand the pressure and left before their internship period expired.

As the President, Gu Lian adhered to the principle of setting an example and often worked overtime. However, because the new interns could not come into contact with him, they did not know him. When he went downstairs to the rest area to move around, they mistook him for an intern in the Gu Corporation and inexplicably pulled him to complain.

The few young people who had not experienced the beatings of society still wanted to go out and make their own careers, but one of them clearly did not think so.

After the others finished their spiel, he said timidly, “I think this is actually not bad. When I retire, I’ll find a job as a security officer. I’ll look at the surveillance cameras on the computer screen every day and earn money every month.”

This thought was mocked by the others, but Gu Lian did not say anything.

He fantasized about such a life and actually felt that it was not bad. As the executive of a large company, he had endless reports to analyze, endless documents to approve, and endless things to deal with every day. He was almost so busy that he was about to turn into a spinning top.

If there was really such a day when he could be free and sunbathe and drink tea every day, Gu Lian felt relaxed and enjoyable just thinking about it.

However, he could not do that. He could leave, but he still had thousands of people under him waiting to eat. They needed to support their families and earn money.

If he left, what would happen to their next month’s salary? Among the thousands of people, there was no lack of middle-aged people in their thirties or forties. Those people had elders above them and children below them. They had to work overtime at the company to let their families live better.

Gu Lian often felt like a trapped beast in a cage. He was bound by invisible shackles and could only pace back and forth in a cage the size of a square inch every day. He did not have time to breathe.

However, today, when Gu Lian looked at the surveillance footage on the computer screen, he seemed to have suddenly found the resting time that he had always dreamed of.

Gu Lian suddenly did not feel frustrated anymore. He even had the time to ask Secretary Wen to run a cup of tea for him. Then, he leaned back in his chair peacefully, like a security officer who had worked for 30 years. He looked at the computer in satisfaction.

Secretary Wen was shocked by Gu Lian’s sudden relaxation and began to think if there was a problem. Gu Lian could basically be said to be working non-stop all year round, no matter when she looked at Gu Lian, he always looked like ‘the company was going to collapse if he didn’t work overtime’.

Now that he suddenly relaxed, could it be that something had happened? Even President Gu was unable to resolve it? In the end, he chose to give up?

Countless thoughts flashed through Secretary Wen’s mind. In the end, she mustered her courage and walked forward to ask Gu Lian carefully, “President Gu, is there a problem with the company that even you can’t resolve?”

“Huh? No, I just suddenly enjoyed the present.” Gu Lian was puzzled by Secretary Wen’s question. After repeatedly assuring Secretary Wen that there was no problem, he could continue to enjoy his leisurely ‘security officer time’.

Just as Gu Lian thought that he could enjoy and relax like this, a few sneaky figures appeared in the surveillance camera at the bottom right corner of the

screen..
