On the 122nd floor of the Donghai Central Tower, in a lavish and atmospheric reception room, Han Sifan stood poised, gazing down at the sprawling cityscape of Donghai. As a proud daughter of a prestigious family, she held a deep affection for this tower. As the tallest building in Donghai, from here, the entire city was at her feet, and the sensation of having everything under control was intoxicating.
Han Sifan was certain that one day, like the powerful figures in Donghai's history, she would dominate the era of this city, leaving her name forever etched in its legacy. She would become a legendary figure, forever linked to this city. For this reason, she had made the company's headquarters here, whether for business meetings, social engagements, or relaxation; this was her top choice. In her spare time, she loved coming to the 122nd floor to quietly gaze over the city, the very city that held her dreams. Though this wasn't the top floor, the next five floors were reserved for tourists, and Han Sifan had no intention of mingling with them.
"Ms. Han."
Old Qin's footsteps were light, his voice low and measured, as if he feared disturbing this powerful woman.
Han Sifan, as if unaware, continued to gaze out the window, lost in her thoughts.
Old Qin didn't call out again. Instead, he went straight to the point, "Today, we received news from Enchant Beauty—Luo He suddenly has a rumored girlfriend."
At these words, Han Sifan's previously calm face flickered with an unusual reaction.
"What do you mean by 'sudden'? What happened?" Han Sifan asked, her tone sharp.
"This morning, President Luo went directly to the PR department and asked an employee named Bai Tao to bring him breakfast. Think about it, that in itself is strange. The people in Enchant Beauty's PR department were stunned."
Han Sifan listened intently, her gaze still fixed on the city below, but her mind now sharp, absorbing every word.
"After that, President Luo held a PR meeting. That employee, Bai Tao, proposed a bold plan, suggesting that Enchant Beauty donate 20 million to disaster relief," Old Qin continued, watching Han Sifan closely. She remained expressionless, and he couldn't help but be surprised. But he quickly realized—it wasn't that Han Sifan found the proposal reasonable; rather, she simply didn't care about it.
Old Qin paused before adding, "What's even more unexpected is that President Luo actually agreed."
"Hmm?" Han Sifan's brows furrowed slightly, clearly taken aback by this turn of events.
"The senior executives at Enchant Beauty strongly opposed it, but President Luo stood firm. In the afternoon, Enchant Beauty issued an official statement announcing the donation of 20 million, and the funds were transferred immediately."
Han Sifan's brows tightened in thought. Luo He had always been prudent and never impulsive. What could his true intentions be behind this action?
"After the meeting, Bai Tao returned to the office and openly declared... that she was President Luo's woman."
Han Sifan suddenly turned, her gaze sharp and intense as she fixed her eyes on Old Qin.
"Uh... she really said that. Many people can vouch for it."
"Then what happened?" Han Sifan's heart tightened. A bad premonition rose in her chest. She knew that if Luo He had tried to clarify or dismissed the matter, Old Qin wouldn't have been so nervous, let alone come to report to her. After all, a small employee's idle chatter wouldn't be worth so much attention. So there must be more to the story.
"Then... the news spread like wildfire within the company, but President Luo remained unmoved. In the evening, he and Bai Tao worked overtime together, and afterward, they went to Yue Wang Fu for hotpot, just the two of them."
Han Sifan's eyes narrowed, a trace of jealousy flashing in her expression. "Just the two of them?"
"Yes, only the two of them..."
Han Sifan inhaled deeply, trying to calm the growing turmoil within her.
"Bai Tao..." Han Sifan closed her eyes, her brow furrowing, murmuring to herself. Then she asked, "What's Bai Tao's background?"
"She's from Donghai, comes from an ordinary family, nothing particularly remarkable."
"Mm?" Han Sifan's gaze flickered with a hint of doubt. "Then what makes her so special?"
"Compared to you, Ms. Han, she's really nothing," Old Qin responded quickly.
A slight smile curled at the corner of Han Sifan's lips, but Old Qin felt a chill down his spine as he sensed the tension.
"Old Qin, if you're going to be my assistant, you can't be so careless, understand?"
Old Qin nodded quickly, "Yes, yes, of course!"
Han Sifan turned her gaze back out the window, her voice firm and unwavering. "If Bai Tao really has no special qualities, then how could she catch Luo He's eye? She must have something unique."
Old Qin tried to offer reassurance, "Ms. Han, I think there's something more to this. Maybe it's just a coincidence, it can't possibly be like the rumors say."
Han Sifan shook her head, her voice tinged with a hint of sadness. "You don't understand Luo He. He never engages with women alone... not even with me."
