Xie Youlin indeed possessed some capabilities.
Ever since he was imprisoned, the Xie family's conglomerate had managed to operate as usual.
This wasn't entirely surprising, as a vast corporate structure could have a deputy fill in when the president was absent.
However, for Xie Youlin to be released and, in no time, return to Xie's Media to resume his position as president felt almost like child's play...
Therefore, no matter how closely Ou Yunchen watched this scoundrel, he couldn't prevent his determined return to office.
Xie Youlin's secretary had already prepared the presidential office, awaiting their leader's return.
Secretary: "Mr. Xie, everything is ready."
Xie Youlin inhaled deeply; the scent of conspiracy still permeated the room.
Xie Youlin: "Well done."
Secretary: "Mr. Xie, the media is prepared. You can hold a press conference anytime."
Xie Youlin sat back down in the chair symbolizing power, leisurely turning around.
Xie Youlin: "Do you know what I missed most while I was locked up?"
Secretary: "I don't know."
Xie Youlin stroked a statue on his desk, then twisted it forcefully.
With a click, a painting behind him suddenly swung open, revealing a safe.
Xie Youlin: "It's this treasure. With this, I was able to be released smoothly."
The secretary immediately handed over the key she had been keeping to Xie Youlin. Only by using Xie Youlin's iris scan and the secretary's key could the safe be opened successfully.
And inside was the USB drive that Xie Hongtian had truly kept in a bank safe deposit box. The one stolen by Mo Qingyun was merely a backup of a few files.
Secretary: "Congratulations on your successful return, President."
Xie Youlin burst into laughter. He was finally back, and now he would have his revenge!

Ou Yunchen stared at the television screen, where news of Xie Youlin's return to Xie's Media was being broadcast everywhere.
—At the Press Conference—
Reporter: "Mr. Xie, are you saying that Xie's Media will re-launch the Hongtian Foundation?"
Xie Youlin: "Yes, this time we will inject even more funds into the foundation with increased effort. Xie's is committed to providing the most help to deaf-mute people globally."
Reporter: "Will the Hongtian Foundation disclose the use of funds?"
Xie Youlin: "We will make all donations public."
Reporter: "There are rumors that the Hongtian Foundation is collaborating with several overseas foundations for joint financing. Can you disclose which institutions are involved?"
Xie Youlin gave his secretary a look; it seemed the press conference was over.
Secretary: "Thank you for your concern. Mr. Xie Youlin has many meetings scheduled. This press conference concludes here."
—End of Press Conference—
Lawyer Ma: "The Hongtian Foundation can actually be revived? It seems someone is indeed collaborating with him."
Ou Yunchen turned off the television. Regardless of whether the Hongtian Foundation was good or bad, as long as it didn't interfere with AtL, he guaranteed he could coexist peacefully with Xie Youlin.
Ou Yunchen: "Whatever."
However, Ou Yunchen only thought of one thing: Mo Qingyun, that fool, was still stubbornly following Xie Youlin!
Although the Hongtian Foundation claimed to be helping the deaf and mute, those in the investment world could tell its true intentions at a glance.
He truly hoped this little mute wouldn't be dragged down. She really didn't understand anything!
Lost in thought, Ou Yunchen decided to send Mo Qingyun a message.
—Ou Yunchen's WeChat—
Ou Yunchen: "What are you doing?"
A minute passed, but Mo Qingyun didn't reply.
Ou Yunchen: "Busy?"
Another minute passed...
—End of Ou Yunchen's WeChat—
How strange. Usually, Mo Qingyun would reply instantly.
Ou Yunchen called again, but his call was rejected?!
Ever since Xie Youlin returned, had this mute become even more attentive to him?
Could she really be hoping Xie Youlin would find her brother for her? Ha, wishful thinking!

Glancing at the time, with Colin and/e
Ou Yunchen: "You're right. Perhaps we shouldn't be celebrating so soon. We're still in a state of flux."
Maggie: "Alright, I guess I shouldn't have flown all the way here to deliver this good news. It's not worth your excitement, is it?"
Colin: "Don't worry about that person. I'm very happy to see you."
As he spoke, Colin leaned closer to Maggie, fiddling with her hair and bringing it to his nose to smell.
Maggie: "What? That loli wasn't good? You're thinking of me again?"
Colin: "Who? Besides you, I have no other women."
Maggie: "Miss Yao."
Colin: "Nonsense. She was just an appetizer. My main course will always be you."
Colin picked up a lock of her hair and tickled Maggie's ear, making her squirm.
Even Ou Yunchen now felt that in the future, it would be better to have video conferences rather than this in-person display of affection.
