"Luo, don't ask me. If you want to know, ask Chen."

Tianci Capital.

CFO's office.

Bai Zheli is definitely someone who can keep a secret, no matter how much Luo Peng tries to coax him, he remains tight-lipped.

"Alright, you're quite the big shot now."

Luo Peng nodded, intentionally letting out a sigh.

"Since Bai won't spill, he surely has his reasons. Don't make things difficult for him."

After graduation, the dorm's Four Knights all made rapid progress in their lives, but by comparison, the dorm leader Li Shao became the person with the "least change," still mediating like an older brother without any curiosity.

"How is it difficult, Shao? It's one thing not to invite us, but can't we at least hear the story?"

Luo Peng complained, "Is this request too much?"

"Luo, Chen didn't invite you and Shao because he didn't want you guys to tire yourselves. Li Shuru also stayed in the country."

Bai Zheli's words left Luo Peng speechless. He looked at the suddenly eloquent youngest of the group, exchanged a glance with Li Shao, and chuckled, "Shao, sounds like it, huh? Seems like we should thank Jiang Chen for the extra care."

"You guys chat, I'm going to find Junior Li for a signature."

"No need, she's not at the company, probably won't come today."

Luo Peng stopped Li Shao from leaving, righteously saying, "A brief separation rekindles the spark, Shao, let's put work aside for a day and let our boss rest."

At that moment.

The office door was pushed open.

Luo Peng instinctively turned his head, surprised, "The sun rises in the west, Bai the energy maniac, why are you working so hard too?"

Then.

He seemed to catch on, stroked his chin with a teasing smile, "Came to the office for refuge?"

They are all adults, who wouldn't understand the implied meaning in Luo Peng's words, though understanding them, they acted as if they didn't.

"Chen."

Bai Zheli called out.

Li Shao nodded with a smile.

"If you put more effort into work, Shu would be less exhausted."

Jiang Chen walked in.

Upon hearing this, President Luo immediately retorted, "Let's be honest, we all know why Junior Li is so tired. Shao and I have been trying to help lighten her load."

As he spoke, he pointed to the area around his eyes.

"See? What's this? It's clear and vivid evidence. Jiang Chen, have you thought about what we were doing here while you were on a date with Ue Asamiya in Tokyo?"

Ue who?

Li Shao and Bai Zheli simultaneously looked at the outspoken Luo Peng.

"Shu said you'd be the first to leave recently."

Jiang Chen held back his laughter, speaking flatly.

"I don't believe it. You're trying to stir things up. Junior Li would never say that." Luo Peng immediately responded.

"Isn't it true that you're always the first to leave the office?"

Luo Peng was speechless.

He's certain Li Shuru wouldn't report him, so how did Jiang Chen know he's been the first to leave work recently?

Could there be spies in the company?

Thinking about this, he shot a disdainful glance at Jiang Chen and then pretended to be hurt, "You know, ever since I went traveling to Xiang Country, I've suffered severe mental distress and still have shadows lingering, so I need to visit a psychologist regularly."

Upon saying this, Jiang Chen hadn't responded yet when Li Shao and Bai Zheli couldn't help but laugh.

Currently, Tianci Capital has nearly two thousand employees nationwide, and if you were to rank the risk of psychological disorders, CEO Luo Peng would definitely be at the bottom.

"Laugh, look at yourselves, such cold-blooded and heartless faces."

No doubt about Luo Peng's resilience, but to be fair, his encounter in Xiang Country was indeed worthy of being called a shock.

"How's Xia Wanqing?"

Jiang Chen asked, after all, if one really left a shadow, it should be Xia Wanqing, who nearly "disappeared from the world."

"How do you think? If a macho man experienced that, he'd also be haunted and scared. I'm just worried it might affect her psychologically."

It's not just a kidnapping issue.

If Boss Jiang hadn't acted timely and with extraordinary ability, Luo Peng's overseas trip would have become a road of no return.

"So Luo, are you leaving early to accompany Xia Wanqing to see a psychologist?"

Bai Zheli asked, indirectly confirming that Jiang Chen wasn't wronging anyone.

Luo Peng sighed, "I'm worried she might not want to go by herself, so I have to take her."

"Is it really that serious?"

Such an experience is indeed distressing, but Xia Wanqing is the carefully groomed Oiran by Qinyuan, not a mediocre vulgar type. Her mind shouldn't be too fragile.

"Serious, not too serious, just prone to nightmares. I've consulted a psychologist, and they said it's not a big problem, it just needs to be adjusted gradually."

"Isn't that good then? Luo, you're being overly concerned."

"Overly concerned? Luo Peng argued, "This is called a man's responsibility, Bai, you don't understand yet, but one day you will. It's someone's fright because of you, can you just ignore them? You should be responsible."

The usually quiet Li Shao unexpectedly nodded, "Responsibility is indeed necessary, but you've never been so attentive to any girl before."

Upon hearing this, even Jiang Chen couldn't help but chuckle.

"Shao never lies, when you're helping someone with treatment, didn't you ask the doctor about your own state of mind?"
