Reborn with the ability to read minds, I became a heartthrob.

It was getting late, so Zhou Liwan decided to wait for Shen Nanzhou a little longer before going home together.

Since he had nothing better to do, Zhou Liwan randomly picked a financial magazine from his bookshelf to read.

Seeing that she was quiet and wouldn't disturb her, the man let her be.

Zhou Liwan was still curled up on the same sofa she had sat on last time, but this time she didn't dare to cross her legs. She just bent her legs slightly and put the magazine on her knees.

While flipping through the pages, she unexpectedly stumbled upon an interview with her uncle, but there was only one side profile photo of the man during the interview.

A man standing against the sunlight, dressed in a sharp suit, is even more visually striking.

“Effective management of suppliers…” Zhou Liwan murmured as she read. It was an interview about how Jiang’s company managed its suppliers. The article was full of technical terms and was somewhat difficult to understand.

But she still had some feelings. Thinking that she was about to take over the company, Zhou Liwan looked at it even more carefully.

She not only read Shen Nanzhou's interviews, but also interviews with other industry leaders and industry news in great detail.

Of course, there were still many things she didn't understand. She folded the parts she didn't understand into tiny marks, so she could ask her uncle about them later if she had the chance.

As darkness fell outside, the office remained brightly lit, just like daytime.

When Zhou Liwan looked up again, she realized it was already completely dark. She put the magazine back on the shelf, but saw that the man was still working.

He didn't even give me a second glance.

There was still a lot of jelly left on the plate, not all of it was eaten.

Zhou Liwan pretended not to see and slowly walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, looking down at the countless brightly lit skyscrapers in the CBD outside the window, each window and each light shining like a star in the dark night.

"Are you hungry?" Shen Nanzhou's voice came from behind, still as cold as water, without the slightest fluctuation.

Zhou Liwan turned her head, somewhat moved, and asked, "Uncle, do you work this late every day?"

"It's alright, it depends on the situation. Sometimes it's a little earlier." Shen Nanzhou turned off his computer, stood up, and stretched his stiff shoulders.

Seeing this, Zhou Liwan thought she couldn't miss this opportunity to express her feelings, so she quickly stepped forward and said with a smile, "How about I give my uncle a shoulder massage?"

"No need." Shen Nanzhou's gaze was stern as he coldly stopped her.

Zhou Liwan awkwardly withdrew her hand, which was already halfway outstretched, and scratched her head: "Oh."

Shen Nanzhou was silent for a moment, then lowered his eyes slightly: "Let's go, I'll take you to get something to eat first."

“Okay!” Zhou Liwan was indeed a little hungry, and immediately agreed happily when she heard that they were going to eat.

Shen Nanzhou didn't say anything more, turned around and walked out of the office first.

Zhou Liwan followed closely behind, constantly trying to strike up a conversation with Shen Nanzhou.

Once inside the elevator, there were significantly fewer people.

The enclosed space always made her feel a little uncomfortable, even though Jiang's elevator was very bright.

"Boom—Squeak~" The ceiling light in the elevator, which had been bright just moments before, suddenly flickered a few times.

With violent shaking, the elevator suddenly began to descend rapidly.

Shen Nanzhou's face darkened, and he quickly pressed all the buttons on all the floors, then rang the alarm bell.

The elevator continued to fall, and what made Zhou Liwan even more desperate was that all the lights at the top went out, plunging the small space into darkness.

She tried desperately to scream, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't, and could only let her body slowly slide down one side of the elevator.

Shen Nanzhou's steady operation finally brought the elevator to a stop between the third and fourth floors. The staff there were also notified and were arranging for professional technicians to take a break.

Firefighters are on their way.

Things finally stopped getting worse, and Shen Nanzhou breathed a sigh of relief before turning around to comfort Zhou Liwan.

He saw that she had collapsed to the ground. He frowned and realized that Zhou Liwan had claustrophobia. He squatted down to check on her.

"It's alright now, don't be afraid, someone will come to rescue us soon."

Zhou Liwan suddenly grabbed Shen Nanzhou's arm, and when she looked up, she was covered in sweat, her face was pale, and her eyes were wet and helpless: "Uncle, I'm scared... It's too dark here, I'm scared..."

Shen Nanzhou immediately took out his phone and turned on the flashlight. In the light, the girl's forehead hair was already wet with cold sweat, and strands of it stuck to her cheeks.

As if enduring immense torment, her voice began to grow hoarse, and large tears rolled down her cheeks onto Shen Nanzhou's hand: "Uncle... we'll be alright, won't we?"

Feeling the scorching heat, Shen Nanzhou's pupils contracted sharply. He subconsciously tried to brush Zhou Liwan's hand away, but after a long silence, he still pulled her into his arms.

Sensing that the other person was trembling, Shen Nanzhou whispered to comfort him, "Don't be afraid."

His tone was calm and composed, seemingly tinged with a hint of helplessness. His few words instantly made Zhou Liwan feel much better.

She nestled tightly in Shen Nanzhou's arms; the man's muscles beneath his clothes were firm and strong, unlike the softness of a girl's.

It stopped her body from trembling so much, but she was still sweating profusely, her eyes wide open, staring intently at the elevator door.

Time seemed to pass very slowly, and fifteen minutes later a blinding light shone in from the two slowly opening doors.

Shen Nanzhou picked up Zhou Liwan and handed her up first, then he jumped out of the elevator by bracing himself with his arms.

Three rows of men in suits stood at the entrance, their faces filled with fear as they hung their heads, barely daring to breathe. At that moment, they wished they were the ones trapped in the elevator instead of these two men.

A CEO and the chairman's granddaughter.

"Find the cause, why did this security problem occur?" For the first time, a gloomy look appeared on Shen Nanzhou's usually gentle face, his eyes filled with an unprecedented ferocity and anger.

The three rows of men in suits lowered their heads even further.

They all answered tremblingly, "Yes."

"What are you waiting for? Get moving!" Shen Nanzhou shouted sternly.

The group immediately dispersed, and Ding Xiangru, who was extremely anxious, rushed forward and checked Shen Nanzhou from head to toe. Only after confirming that he was alright did she feel relieved: "BOSS, you..."

Before she could finish speaking, the man walked past her and headed towards Zhou Liwan, who was being examined by the medical team that had been called over.

As Zhou Liwan saw the tall man approaching, she immediately pouted, looking aggrieved, and stretched out her arms: "Uncle~~"

Shen Nanzhou's eyes were dark, but he still hugged the girl who was still crying and patted her back gently with his large hand: "It's okay, it's okay."

Zhou Liwan nodded sullenly and didn't say anything more.

Han, the assistant standing to the side, was stunned. Their boss never liked skin contact with people and had severe mysophobia.

I can actually tolerate the little lady's snot and tears today.

"I reckon we won't see the BOSS in that suit again," Assistant Han said to Ding Xiangru with a gossipy tone.

Ding Xiangru rolled her eyes at him. She felt that her boss had suddenly become more affectionate today. She had originally thought he was a robot who only knew how to work and never understood warmth.

Now it seems that's not the case, and thinking of this, Ding Xiangru's face turned expectant.
