CHAPTER 395: CHAPTER 374: PERSONAL RECOMMENDATION_2

He didn’t need to ask; he knew these must be Tang Xiaowan’s people, undoubtedly her bodyguards.

"Hello!"

Cheng Shi kept his eyes straight ahead, standing erect. "Vice General Manager, good day."

Zhang Dong, "?"

You knew I was the Vice General Manager without looking at me?

He dared not think about it any further and simply smiled in acknowledgment before striding away from the fifth floor.

Instantly, Tang Xiaowan stepped out of the conference room.

With a serious face, she handed Zhang Dong’s recording pen and cellphone to Cheng Shi, and with just a glance, he understood Tang Xiaowan’s intentions.

"Miss, rest assured, no more than half an hour."

"No rush, just have it done before the end of the workday."

After returning to her office, Tang Xiaowan sat sternly on the sofa in the reception area.

She knew that since she had taken over Chi Sea and was very young and inexperienced, there would definitely be doubts about her managerial skills or even resistance. She just didn’t expect that, at her first regular meeting, Zhang Dong would dare to publicly oppose her decision-making and even secretly use a recording device. He truly didn’t regard her as the boss at all.

She took a deep breath, trying to let go of the matter. Unexpectedly, even handling such a minor issue felt exhausting.

She picked up her cellphone, intending to check the two emails Wu Qiming had just sent regarding the appointment of the new manager of guest relations and adjustments to certain supervisors. However, she couldn’t focus; her mind kept replaying the recent events.

She realized she needed a break before she could continue working.

Thus, Tang Xiaowan stood up and walked to the window, gazing at the sea. She enjoyed the feeling it gave, allowing her to settle her thoughts.

However, she did not spend much time enjoying this tranquility.

Taking a deep breath, she picked up her cellphone again, thinking to herself, "I, Tang Xiaowan, must do my best, and no one shall stop me!"

...

39th floor of the hotel, in the royal suite.

"Brother Shen, Lady Tang has just finished her meeting and has returned to her office with Cheng Shi," reported Bai Long after ending a phone call.

"Actually, Xiao Wan is quite capable. I just did not understand her well enough before. It wasn’t until last night that I found out Xiao Wan... has regained her memories and remembered everything," Li Zishen said in a mild tone, his eyes slightly red.

"When? How did she regain them?"

"It was a week ago, the same day Du Jiahao kidnapped her. How exactly she regained her memory, she didn’t say; it might be due to Leng Lingxiao... Of course, it could also have been an accidental recovery."

"It wasn’t because of the shock from the kidnapping? I’ve heard of such cases."

"Not sure, maybe."

Li Zishen finished speaking, then began to suit up, putting on his watch, grooming himself. After lunch, he would take a private helicopter back to Jin City.

While Bai Long stayed back to discuss land issues.

Based on the current situation, it looked like there were no major problems.

Suddenly, Li Zishen’s phone rang.

Ding-a-ling, ding-a-ling, ding-a-ling...

Seeing it was his younger brother Li Zihan calling, he didn’t think twice and answered immediately.

"Brother, when are you coming back?"

Li Zishen furrowed his brow, "After lunch. What’s up? Is Auntie alright?"

"Oh, no worries, all is well, she can even talk to me now. It’s our uncle. He said you should visit him while mom is away. I don’t know what he means, but I thought I should tell you. Call me first when you arrive; don’t go directly to the hospital."

"Alright, got it."

"Then, brother, you go ahead with your work, bye."

After ending the call, Li Zishen fell into contemplation, feeling that his uncle had something important to disclose, especially since it concerned his mother.

Seeing this, Bai Long did not approach to ask; he quietly stood by.

Moments later, he received two messages.

"Brother Shen, there’s a new lead in Huang City." Bai Long took a few steps closer to Li Zishen, interrupting his thoughts, then handed him his phone. "This was provided by an information dealer in the past few days. Lei Ziyi and Du Jiahao have disappeared."

"Disappeared?" Li Zishen looked at the photos and text on the phone, his brow slightly creased.

"They’re probably not on a new mission, are they?"

"They likely left the organization. Look, Brother Shen, this badge is like their ID; it’s required to go to the meeting point."

"This design looks familiar!"

Startled, Bai Long didn’t press further, knowing it was commonplace in the world for designs to resemble one another.
