"Sorry for making a fool of myself in front of Mr. Jiang."

"You couldn't see what was right in front of you, huh?"

Jiang Chen chuckled lightly.

Pan Yang was stunned, and then he couldn't help but laugh as well, after which he fell silent.

After a while, he said:

"I can't understand why she did that. With her abilities, she could have a perfectly respectable job and live well."

"With a thousand, they want ten thousand; being an emperor, they aspire to become immortal. Few can truly manage their desire, most, like your superior, are driven by it, becoming slaves to desire."

Just slaves to desire?

They had just met in the lobby.

If we rewind time and return to the room.

The scene was too beautiful to imagine.

The Japanese perversion, like their hypocrisy, is well-known.

"I'm sorry, she should no longer be your supervisor."

Pan Yang shook his head, indicating it was no matter. After what had just happened, he felt somehow relieved.

Having fully seen through Xu Jing's character, he felt no burdens in his heart.

"Actually, I came to find Miss Tong today to apologize to her."

"Then why did you leave just now?"

Pan Yang guessed the other party probably already knew, "Because I think Miss Tong might not need my apology. Not bothering her anymore is the best compensation for her."

"Apologies mean nothing to a girl; you'd better speak some sweet words, but alas, you can't."

Boss Jiang bluntly said.

Pan Yang was speechless.

"If you were asked to testify, would you be willing?"

Boss Jiang suddenly asked.

Pan Yang was confused at first, but soon understood. He was indeed not good at sweet talk, but this didn't mean his mind was equally rigid.

"Mr. Jiang means to report Xu Jing?"

He asked tentatively.

Jiang Chen nodded, "Hiring someone to harm, even if it failed, is a serious crime. It's enough to give her a tough time; even if she doesn't end up in prison for a long time, her future definitely won't be bright."

Pan Yang had sensed the humor of this Tianci Capital founder.

"Should you need a testimony, I would take my responsibilities without hesitation."

He said unhesitatingly, then reasoned, "But Mr. Jiang, Xu Jing is now a Japanese citizen, and backed by Dongyue Chemical in Tokyo, it might be really tough..."

"Just kidding."

Boss Jiang certainly wasn't so naive.

Going through legal means to seek justice.

That's a little boring.

There's more than one way to legally and appropriately stand up for Tong Dan.

He just wanted to see what kind of mindset Tong Dan's date currently had.

If he was still hung up on that Uehara Maaya, indecisive, a modern-day Saint, then it goes without saying, distancing Tong Dan from him would be a wise decision.

Fortunately, Pan Yang hadn't disappointed the favorable impression Boss Jiang had of him before.

"Did you know Tong Dan is returning home?"

Boss Jiang changed the topic.

Pan Yang was taken aback, and then quickly understood the reason for Tong Dan's sudden urgency to return home.

He laughed bitterly, "Miss Tong needs to return to a normal life."

"May I ask boldly, do you like Tong Dan?"

Pan Yang looked hesitant, then looked at Jiang Chen, "...Miss Tong is cheerful, lively, generous, broad-minded, and beautiful; I don't think any man wouldn't like her."

Jiang Chen laughed.

Not so tongue-tied, after all.

"If you said those words in front of Tong Dan, she likely wouldn't ignore your calls."

Pan Yang felt awkward.

He didn't quite have the courage.

"Women are auditory creatures, unlike men; we find it affected, hard to articulate, but for women, verbal expression might be the simplest way to make them happy."

Boss Jiang couldn't help but start sharing advice, and truly, in this area, he had enough to advise Pan Yang.

"Thank you, Mr. Jiang, but I already don't have the face to see Miss Tong."

Jiang Chen stared at him.

"Whether you see her or not is your freedom, as long as you don't regret it. I have other matters."

With that, Boss Jiang really didn't care anymore and walked toward the elevator.

Watching his figure retreat, Pan Yang hesitated, struggled, yet didn't open his mouth to call out until the other entered the elevator.

"Is he still downstairs?"

In her room, Fang Qing listened to the entire story and didn't really react.

Since entering this industry, she had seen and heard too many types of ugliness.

"Yes."

Jiang Chen sighed, "In all respects, he's pretty good, just a bit timid."

"Why do you pay so much attention to him?"

Seeing Qing Mei seem to examine him carefully, Boss Jiang laughed and said, "Just happened to meet is all, and after all, Tong Dan has been a friend for so many years, a little concern, shouldn't I?"

"Do you sympathize with him a bit?"

Fang Qing said.

Jiang Chen was surprised, "Sympathy? What's there to sympathize with him for? Sympathy that he was once appreciated by his superior, or sympathy for his growth, after pain and realization?"

"His circumstances are already better than many workers."

Perhaps in just a moment, seeing Pan Yang's shadow, Jiang Chen had thought, if he hadn't been chosen by the flattery system, perhaps his life's path might have been like Pan Yang's, entering a somewhat reputable company, diligent and dedicated…

Of course.

He might lack the charm to meet a good boss willing to pave the way for him.

Though he wouldn't admit it verbally, Fang Qing had known him all his life, how could she not understand what he was thinking.

Setting aside the factor of Tong Dan.

This Pan Yang was indeed a good person.

Admiration could certainly develop for such a man.

"You should think carefully, your actions might change their lives forever."

Jiang Chen was stunned by these words, wanting to laugh but found he couldn't.

Qing Gege's words didn't seem baseless either.

He didn't know when exactly, but he could easily influence or even decide the fates of others.

"Well, if he leaves like this today, I'll just pretend I never knew him."

Downstairs.

Peninsula Hotel lobby.

Pan Yang certainly didn't know he was standing at a crossroads in life. He had walked to the hotel entrance many times and even went outside, but in the end, he kept returning,

Even the security personnel noticed his odd behavior, and two security guards walked over together.

"Sir, do you need any help?"

Pan Yang knew his prolonged wandering had aroused suspicion; while shaking his head indicating no need, he finally made up his mind, summoned courage, and walked toward the front desk.

Mr. Jiang was right,

As a man, one must dare to pursue actively.

No matter the outcome, at least you're giving yourself an explanation, not leaving any regrets.

Directly asking, the front desk wouldn't reveal guest privacy, a classic international luxury hotel isn't a countryside guesthouse.

"Miss Tong Dan, this is her number, I found her phone, she asked me to deliver it, please notify her to come down and pick it up."

Finally opened up.

"Certainly, please wait a moment."
