After briefly explaining the matters, the meeting was dismissed. Zhou Yuwen stayed at the company to handle two months' worth of accumulated paperwork. The employees left work at six, and Zhou Yuwen stayed busy until seven before leaving.

Originally, Tao Tian was supposed to wait at the company to leave work together with Zhou Yuwen, but there were just too many things to handle. She couldn't spend the entire afternoon just hanging around with Zhou Yuwen. After filling out the registration forms for two new companies, she went to the commerce bureau and also stopped by a well-known clothing store in Jinling. She needed to arrange for someone to take measurements of Zhou Yuwen's bodyguards for custom-made suits.

Liu Shuo was also busy, making a couple of phone calls. He briefed his subordinates on the formation of a security company and a property company. Meanwhile, he also informed the five retired soldiers, arranging for them to become bodyguards for Zhou Yuwen.

The five men had no objections. The leader, Wang Yong, even proactively asked if Zhou Yuwen needed more manpower upon hearing about the security company.

They had quite a few retired comrades who hadn't found jobs. If Zhou Yuwen was starting a security company, could they also bring their comrades over?

Liu Shuo's eyes lit up when he heard this and readily agreed.

"You've all been trained before, so there's no need for additional training. Just start directly, Brother Wang, bring them all here. I'll take as many as you have!" For Liu Shuo, making money from starting a company was secondary. He mainly enjoyed the brawling and bravado of the underworld, and he felt a sense of pride taking out big, burly guys like Wang Yong.

At seven in the evening, Zhou Yuwen finally left the company. He was still driving his old BMW X7 when, as soon as he got into the car, a petite figure slipped in with him.

Zhou Yuwen looked closely and realized it was Tang Yurou. He almost didn't recognize her.

This Tang Yurou looked completely different during and after work. At work, she was all prim and proper, but after work, with makeup on, she had a nightclub vibe. She wore a black-themed short dress with a white, slender neck adorned with a black satin ribbon.

She comfortably said, "Brother-in-law, I didn't drive today. Do you mind giving me a lift?"

Zhou Yuwen glanced at her and didn't mind. While starting the car, he asked her where she was going.

Tang Yurou mentioned the name of a bar, and upon hearing it, Zhou Yuwen couldn't help but chuckle. He said that the life of a debutante was indeed colorful, but Miss Tang.

"Is the salary from my humble company enough for you to go clubbing every day?"

Tang Yurou chuckled and said, "I don't have to pay when I go to bars. Besides, Brother-in-law, even though your company is small now, I see the potential there. Within just a year, one project sold for sixty million. I think if it continues to develop, reaching a billion in assets is just a matter of time."

Zhou Yuwen thought this girl had quite the vision while driving out of the underground parking lot.

After passing the company gates, even before Zhou Yuwen could say anything, Tang Yurou said she knew what he wanted to ask.

Simply put, he was curious as to why she hadn't left the company yet, even though he and Jiang Xinyi had broken up.

Tang Yurou frankly said that her presence at Zhou Yuwen's company wasn't due to Jiang Xinyi but because she believed in the company's potential.

Zhou Yuwen looked straight ahead, saying while driving, "I now know why you didn't drive today."

"Huh? Why?" Tang Yurou asked with a playful blink.

Zhou Yuwen just chuckled and didn't pursue the matter. Instead, he shifted the topic, "How's your sister doing now?"

Zhou Yuwen knew he was somewhat at fault towards Jiang Xinyi, but it was inevitable. After all, they came from different worlds, and maybe separating was best for both.

"Well, what can I say? Not eating, not drinking, always seeking death."

Zhou Yuwen was startled by these words, a bit scared, prompting him to glance at Tang Yurou.

But because of a traffic light ahead, they almost crashed.

Thankfully, he stopped in time.

Nonetheless, it still gave Tang Yurou a fright. She clutched her chest, like having survived a disaster, saying, "Brother-in-law, I was just joking. Do you care so much about my sister?"

Zhou Yuwen laughed at this, saying he didn't.

"I just don't want my issues to affect her."

"Who knew, my brother-in-law is quite the emotional person."

Tang Yurou teased, and to Zhou Yuwen, it sounded somewhat sarcastic. It's believable when others are described as emotional, but in Zhou Yuwen's case, it couldn't be further from the truth.

However, Zhou Yuwen didn't mind. He asked Tang Yurou about Jiang Xinyi's actual situation now.

Tang Yurou truthfully informed Zhou Yuwen that while Jiang Xinyi went through a period of decadence after their breakup, she had since become determined, joined her own company, and set herself a three-year plan. She aimed to surpass Zhou Yuwen and get listed in the U.S. within three years, hoping to impress Zhou Yuwen!

Hearing this, Zhou Yuwen felt relieved and said with a smile, "Oh, in that case, I've had a positive impact on her."

"Hehe, aren't you worried, brother-in-law?"

"Worried about what?"

"Worried that she'll actually go public, and then you'll have to look up to her."

Zhou Yuwen said it's good if an ex does better and better, isn't it?

"Don't you wish your ex's life to get better and better?" Zhou Yuwen countered.

This question stumped Tang Yurou, and she replied, how could that be?
