The atmosphere in the room seemed pretty good; both sisters were smiling, seemingly talking about something cheerful. Regardless of which one was Qin Ruojing, it was evident that yesterday's anger had dissipated.

After all, they were real sisters; any anger came quickly and went just as fast. Watching them, Chu Ge couldn't help but feel a bit envious.

As the door was pushed open, the sisters simultaneously looked towards the entrance, one slightly surprised, the other smiling and shouting "brother-in-law."

From their reactions, Chu Ge could tell that the slightly surprised one must be Qin Ruojing, clearly not expecting him back so soon. As for the one calling him "brother-in-law," that was naturally Qin Ruoying.

"How much did you drink? You reek of alcohol. Are you okay?"

Qin Ruojing put down the pizza in her hand and stood up from the table, showing a mix of reproach and concern, as she walked towards Chu Ge.

"Not much, just didn't eat enough. It's perfect to have some more pizza with you two."

Chu Ge grinned and sat down by the table. He had mostly been pretending to be drunk by drinking, not eating much at all, and was actually quite hungry.

"Brother-in-law, you're not being fair!"

Qin Ruoying swallowed a piece of pizza and glanced at Chu Ge with a teasing look, half-jokingly and half-reproachfully.

Chu Ge took a bite of pizza, turned his head in amusement and confusion, "Xiao Ying, what do you mean by that? How am I not being fair?"

"Come on, you didn't tell me you became the big CEO of Tianqing Company. Such a big deal, and you never mentioned it to me. If my sister hadn't said something just now, I'd still be in the dark. How is that fair?"

Chu Ge shook his head with a laugh, "I thought it was something big. I'm just a figurehead; it's nothing important. I didn't even take it seriously."

Qin Ruoying widened her eyes, speechless, "Wow, brother-in-law, I always thought I was pretty easy-going, but compared to you, there's no contest. This isn't a big deal? Then what is a big deal to you?"

Chu Ge smiled slightly, like a considerate husband, and turned his gaze to Qin Ruojing, "My own matters, no matter how big, are small. Your sister's matters, no matter how small, are big."

"Brother-in-law, do you have to be so mushy? I'm getting goosebumps, I can't take it."

Seeing Qin Ruoying's face full of mock horror, Chu Ge laughed heartily, "Don't exaggerate. I'm just being honest; what's so unbearable about that?"

"Alright, brother-in-law, stop showing off your love in front of me. Anyway, let's talk about your company. You see, I have no job, why don't I come work for you? Be a department manager or something? That way, my parents won't say I'm not handling my affairs properly, and I could rightfully live here. How does that sound?"

Looking at the anticipation on Qin Ruoying's face, Chu Ge thought, "Come on, don't make it hard for me. If you stay here all the time, I'd be too restricted."

But, of course, he couldn't show this on his face. Chu Ge nodded cheerfully, "No problem, you can choose any position or department you like."

Just as Chu Ge finished speaking, Qin Ruojing gave him a glare and said sternly, "Xiao Ying, don't mess around. Do you think running a company is child's play? If you show up at the company, and people mistake you for me, it'll cause chaos. Don't you think you've caused me enough trouble?"

Qin Ruoying immediately sulked, pouting, "Sis, I just got rid of a bad apple for you, haven't you scolded me enough over it? Why bring it up again?"

Qin Ruojing rolled her eyes at her sister, "If only it were as simple as you say. Do you know what 'pulling one hair moves the whole body' means?"

"Sis, you're exaggerating, right?"

Qin Ruojing shook her head seriously, "Not one bit. Do you know who your brother-in-law had dinner with? It was that Li Youcheng whom you fired."

Actually, Qin Ruojing didn't plan to bring this up, but seeing her sister being so carefree, she decided to let her understand the potential trouble this incident could cause and to completely dissuade her from wanting to work at Tianqing Company.

Upon hearing this, Qin Ruoying was indeed taken aback, blinking bewilderedly at Chu Ge.

"Brother-in-law, did you really have dinner with that guy?"

Seeing Chu Ge nod, Qin Ruoying looked at him with a puzzled expression, "What kind of dinner could you have with someone like him?"

Chu Ge chuckled, "He was treating, so I went. Who wouldn't take a free meal?"

Qin Ruojing slapped her forehead, realizing it was a mistake to expect Chu Ge to explain these intricate matters to her sister. She then had to explain the ins and outs of the situation herself, including why Chu Ge went to the dinner.

After Qin Ruojing's explanation, Qin Ruoying finally gave an embarrassed laugh, stuck out her tongue, and stopped talking about working at Tianqing Company.

After finishing the pizza, Qin Ruojing returned to the bedroom, while Chu Ge stayed outside to watch TV with Qin Ruoying and chatted with her for a bit.

Around nine o'clock, Chu Ge freshened up and returned to the bedroom. As he closed the door, Qin Ruojing put down what she was doing, took her eyes off her laptop screen, and looked at Chu Ge.

"Now it's just the two of us, tell me about that dinner with Li Youcheng?"

Knowing that Qin Ruojing would ask this, Chu Ge smiled and said, "That kid tried to set me up, but it didn't work. I gave him a warning, so he should behave now."

Qin Ruojing frowned slightly and asked, "A warning? You didn't lay a hand on him, did you?"

"Don't worry, out of respect for his uncle, I didn't do anything to him. But how are things on your end? Has Director Liu done anything?"

Qin Ruojing shook her head.

"I don't think that old guy is an easy character. Keep an eye on him, and make sure he doesn't stir up any unnecessary trouble in the company."

"Hmm, I know what to do."

Although Qin Ruojing spoke confidently, Chu Ge could still detect a hint of worry on her face.

Meanwhile, in the study of a luxurious villa located in Lido's premier affluent neighborhood.

Liu Dong stood beside a long table, holding a fine Purple Hair Brush, writing fluidly over a sheet of rice paper, his eyes full of confidence, a playful yet smug smile on his face. The brush rose and fell as he wrote the large character "董" (Dong) on the paper.

Just as Liu Dong dipped the brush back into the ink, ready to write a second character, the study door was suddenly pushed open. A middle-aged woman in her forties, decked out in jewelry and looking anxious, walked in. Upon seeing Liu Dong, she spoke in a rather irritated tone.

"Bro, you really have leisure time, still here practicing calligraphy while my son's issue remains unresolved! You're a major director of the Tianjiao Group, and they just fired my son like that? You-chen is your own nephew!"

This woman was Liu Li, Li Youcheng's mother and Liu Dong's own sister.

Liu Dong turned to look at Liu Li and smiled reassuringly, "Lili, listen to yourself. How could I not know that You-chen is my own nephew? Do you think I, as his uncle, wouldn't take care of him?"

"Brother, you keep saying you'll help, but then place him in another position! Do you know, because of my son's issue, I haven't dared to go out and play mahjong. I can't face anyone, it's such a disgrace!"

Liu Li complained as she entered the room, looking displeased.

"Lili, calm down, calm down. When have I ever not kept my word? Come, sit here, listen to what your brother has to say."

Liu Dong put down the Purple Hair Brush and walked over to Liu Li, guiding her to an antique-looking rattan chair.

"Lili, originally, I was going to tell you after the task was done, but seeing how anxious you are, I'll let you know now. I've given You-chen some advice, and he should be following it as we speak. There should be good news soon."

Liu Li was taken aback, "You gave him advice? What advice?"

Liu Dong smiled proudly and explained the plan he'd given Li Youcheng, concluding, "That secretary of Qin Ruojing's dared to bully You-chen! This time, I'm going to make sure he pays dearly. I've arranged people in the police force; they'll take good care of that kid. Once You-chen calls me, I'll send someone to get him out."

When Liu Dong began speaking about his sneaky plan, Liu Li was smiling with satisfaction. However, upon hearing his last sentence, she immediately felt displeased and stood up from her chair with a start.

"Get him out? Bro, what are you thinking? Best to leave that Chu Ge brat in prison for life, get someone to finish him off! How can you talk about getting him out?"

Liu Dong rubbed his chin, "Lili, why are you so hasty? Do you think I'm getting him out just to help him?"

Liu Li huffed angrily, "Isn't that why?"

Liu Dong shook his head, "Of course not. Everything I'm doing is for your son's benefit."

Perplexed, Liu Dong turned back, picked up the Purple Hair Brush again, and continued scribbling on the paper as he explained.

"Think about it, that Chu Ge kid hasn't actually done anything. At most, it's just an attempt, and the sentence wouldn't be harsh. You shouldn't underestimate that girl Qin Ruojing either. Being able to stay in the chairman's position for so long means she's got some power and skills. Even if I don't step in, once she finds out about this, she could still get Chu Ge out."

"But, if I step in to help, it's different. By then, I'll have dirt on that kid, splash him with plenty of mud, get him officially recorded with the police so he's got a rap sheet, further damaging his reputation, and I could even use this to put pressure on Qin Ruojing. You think she wouldn't arrange a good spot for You-chen after this?"

Finally, Liu Li understood completely, and a broad smile spread across her face.

"Brother, you're truly brilliant!"

"Hahahaha!"

At her flattery, Liu Dong couldn't help but laugh triumphantly, completing the last stroke of the character "事" (shi) on the rice paper.

Next, he intended to write the character "长" (chang).

However, just as his brush touched the paper, yet before he could finish the stroke, the study door was thrust open again, and an irate Li Youcheng stormed in.
