Watching Xiao Sheng slink out of the office, Chen Shuyuan's face was adorned with a smile of satisfaction. Although, as a parent, she had some reservations about Xiao Sheng holding the photo frame, for a well-educated young man, such a matter wasn't something to be overly concerned about. Given the sudden nature of the incident, Xiao Sheng's intentions were beyond doubt. Thus, from the bottom of her heart, Chen Shuyuan's gratitude towards Xiao Sheng outweighed her concerns.

Gazing at the photo of her father on the desk, she sighed and placed the photo frame that Xiao Sheng had edited into the drawer. Her expression became somewhat dazed as she couldn't help but recall the old family stories.

For the entire afternoon, apart from the moment when Xiao Sheng gave Dai Muxue a flirtatious look as he left Chen Shuyuan's office, which was ignored by the mature woman, Xiao Sheng didn't provoke her further. Instead, he leaned over his computer, analyzing something.

The scouts had already reported that the local thug, Mad Dog, who had been causing trouble in the southern part of the city, had not been seen since the incident at Niulan Mountain last night. However, the scouts had obtained a valuable piece of information: Mad Dog had left with a nightclub dancer. At first glance, anyone would focus on this dancer. But after some thought, a cunning smile appeared on Xiao Sheng's face.

A man who had struggled for so many years to reach his current position would not make such a low-level mistake, even if the dancer's skills in bed were irresistible. For someone at his level, life and money were more important than anything else. The incident at Niulan Mountain was a clear warning. Given the meticulous planning behind the attack on Chen Shuyuan, the mastermind behind Mad Dog would not allow such a mistake. From this, Xiao Sheng deduced that the revelation of this detail was a trap to lure him in. The real plan was likely already in motion.

Xiao Sheng was somewhat excited, eager to see what kind of trap lay behind this. A slight, evil smile appeared on his face as he stared intently at the computer screen, seemingly unaware that Dai Muxue, sitting opposite him, was glancing at him out of the corner of her eye. Suddenly, Xiao Sheng turned his head and made a kissing gesture towards Dai Muxue, startling her. She buried her head and continued writing, her mind in turmoil, not even aware of what she was writing.

Xiao Sheng, who had secretly brought some snacks, was prepared for a long battle. The current state of Huaxin could be described as a chaotic mess. At such a critical time, Chen Shuyuan, the workaholic, would definitely be working overtime. However, what Xiao Sheng didn't expect was that his "boss" was feeling well today.

Chen Shuyuan, dressed in an evening gown and wearing light makeup, walked out of her office in high heels before seven o'clock. Her dignified and elegant appearance, combined with her stunning beauty, left Xiao Sheng momentarily entranced. Her half-revealed, half-concealed cleavage, accentuated by the evening gown, was particularly alluring. Xiao Sheng slowly stood up, wiped the drool from the corner of his mouth, and asked:

"Boss, can you lower your dress by one centimeter?"

"Smack." Chen Shuyuan suddenly picked up a file from the desk and threw it at Xiao Sheng's head.

Xiao Sheng, gripping the steering wheel tightly, occasionally glanced at Chen Shuyuan in the rearview mirror, who was slightly underdressed. Chen Shuyuan, looking out the window, didn't bother to argue with this rogue, knowing it would be futile. Dai Muxue, sitting next to Xiao Sheng, instinctively covered the hem of her dress, feeling uneasy under Xiao Sheng's wandering gaze, especially when he occasionally licked his lips, making her feel as if she were being undressed.

As the head of a star enterprise in Gangcheng, Chen Shuyuan had many social obligations. Due to internal issues at Huaxin and the impact of the external environment, she had rarely attended such high-level social gatherings recently. However, tonight was different. Xiao Sheng had heard that the CEO of a listed company from Lingnan was visiting Gangcheng and was interested in investing. This was a significant opportunity for Huaxin, which was in a difficult position, so Chen Shuyuan was dressed formally for the occasion.

The banquet was held at the Maple Leaf Hotel, one of the few five-star hotels in Gangcheng. The entire sixth-floor hall was reserved, and most of the city's top executives were present, all eager to meet the visiting CEO.

The black Mercedes stopped steadily at the entrance of the Maple Leaf Hotel. The doorman quickly opened the door for Chen Shuyuan, and Dai Muxue, who had already gotten out of the car, stood to the right, welcoming Chen Shuyuan. As her personal bodyguard, Xiao Sheng was also fortunate to attend this high-profile business gala in Gangcheng.

Xiao Sheng, dressed in a well-fitted suit, followed closely behind Chen Shuyuan and Dai Muxue. The advantage of his height allowed him to occasionally gaze at Dai Muxue's deep cleavage. Dai Muxue, maintaining her composure, knew that this rogue was "molesting" her with his eyes, but in such a formal setting, as Chen Shuyuan's assistant, she had to maintain her dignity. The only thing she could do was glare at him with a look that could kill.

Xiao Sheng began to enjoy these "barely clothed" banquets. As they entered the hall, he saw various women dressed provocatively, and his excitement grew. He finally understood why his friends back home often organized such events.

"Damn, the whole city is full of golden breasts..."

Only the most influential figures in Gangcheng's business community could attend such a banquet. Everyone was familiar with Chen Shuyuan, the CEO of Huaxin, even though they knew the company was facing financial difficulties. Despite this, no one dared to be disrespectful to her, especially the men, who were all drooling over her.

After entering the venue, Chen Shuyuan picked up a glass of wine from a waiter's tray, and Dai Muxue followed suit. In such social settings, no one would actually finish the wine in their glass. Xiao Sheng, mimicking Chen Shuyuan and Dai Muxue, picked up a glass, sniffed it, frowned, and turned to the waiter:

"Foreign liquor?"

"Authentic French..." Before the waiter could finish, Xiao Sheng impatiently interrupted:

"Okay, okay, no need to introduce it. Do you have erguotou? Pour me a glass; this stuff doesn't have any kick." The waiter was stunned, staring at Xiao Sheng with wide eyes as if he were a monster. Dai Muxue, standing next to Xiao Sheng, turned her head and stood there, dumbfounded.
