Xiao Bai pulled a chair over from next to Han Che's workstation and placed it on the side of his desk, gesturing for Han Che to sit down.

Xiao Bai turned the computer screen slightly to the side so that Han Che could also see the content on it, and brought up a document, starting to explain it to Han Che line by line.

She talked about a lot of things, including the progress of several ongoing collaborative projects, the job assignments of the newly recruited assistants, and the preliminary arrangements for the upcoming itinerary.

Han Che sat beside him, listening intently, his gaze shifting between the document and a table on the screen, nodding occasionally.

Sometimes Xiaobai would stop and look at him as if waiting for his opinion, and he would casually reply with "more or less", "okay", or "you're right".

Xiao Bai is right. Han Che is just a military general; he wouldn't know anything about these things.

Before he knew it, Han Che had drifted off into thought. Looking at Xiao Bai's profile as he stared at the computer screen and talked incessantly, he thought to himself, "If only Qi Yuzhe or Shi Ding were here. They're good at this stuff, and it's giving me a headache."

For some reason, Han Che was lost in thought. Ever since Qi Yuzhe used the badge to upgrade to a level four system, Han Che hadn't spoken much to Qi Yuzhe these past few days.

Han Che didn't blame him, but he had this strange, conflicting feeling in his heart.

Perhaps he blamed himself, wondering if he had failed to protect his companions again this time?

He sees the Tidal Prison as his real self and comes to the player world, where he even becomes a core member of the team.

Qi Yuzhe, who preferred the player world, stayed in Tidal Prison instead.

Han Che sighed. Qi Yuzhe's words, "You're so arrogant," had been echoing in his ears lately. What should he do?

Han Che, unaware of this, sighed inadvertently.

"Um?"

Xiaobai was explaining a GG licensing issue when she heard Han Che sigh. She stopped mid-sentence, turned to look at him, and asked, "What's wrong? You don't seem to be in good spirits today?"

Han Che shook his head and forced a smile. "It's nothing, I'm just a little tired."

Xiao Bai blinked her big eyes, closed the file on the screen, and slowly stood up.

Han Che thought she was going to stand up to do something, so he also leaned forward as if to get up, but Xiao Bai reached out and pressed lightly on his shoulder, indicating that he didn't need to move.

She walked around the desk to the water dispenser in the corner, filled a cup with hot water, and as she walked back with the cup, steam was slowly rising from the rim. She went to Han Che and handed him the cup.

"Thank you." Han Che took the cup and blew on the steam rising from the water. The white smoke dispersed and gathered again in front of him.

Xiao Bai leaned against the cabinet next to him instead of returning to her seat, which was very close to Han Che. She turned to look at him from the side.

"You must be pretty busy over there too?"

Han Che paused for a moment, thought about his words, and then replied, "It's alright, just some trivial family matters."

Xiao Bai smiled and said, "Yes, sometimes things at home are more troublesome than work outside."

"If it's an outsider, it's fine. No matter what they say or how they act, if it doesn't suit your taste, you can just ignore them."

"But it's different if it's family. After all, they are the closest people to me. If there are any problems, it will greatly affect my determination."

Han Che silently rejected Xiao Bai's words in his heart. He felt that he was not someone who would be influenced by these relationships.

He hadn't seen his closest relatives in his previous life for a long time, let alone any family members in that Tide Prison.

He always considered himself a person with few emotions. He had been away from home for so many years and rarely went back. He would only occasionally send some money back, and he would go back for a few days during holidays. He didn't dare to stay too long and had to go back as soon as possible.

I always feel like I have no value when I go home, and that I need to keep going out to earn money in order to gain my family's approval.

I don't have those kinds of feelings.

After all, he was already the pillar of the family, and he was just trying to earn money so that his family could have a better life.

"Don't overwork yourself. Things at the club are manageable. I'm here for you," Xiaobai comforted her.

Han Che found it amusing. Looking into Xiao Bai's serious eyes, he teased, "It's your own club, Xiao Bai, so what do I have to worry about?"

"I am the boss, that's true, but most of the achievements are due to you. Shouldn't you be worried?" Xiaobai said matter-of-factly, hands on his hips.

Han Che smiled and agreed, saying that he really couldn't refute that.

Many of the situations here, in the end, were created by his actions.

Whether or not he actively designed those developments, his role in the process was indeed more important than he was willing to admit.

"So it's not an exaggeration to say you're the executive vice president!" Xiao Bai chuckled.

"You call yourself the executive vice president? You might as well just say I'm the boss's wife." Han Che joked casually, but Xiao Bai immediately lowered his head and fell silent.

Han Che didn't pay attention, and he didn't take the executive vice president or anything like that seriously, just thinking that Xiao Bai was teasing him.

Seeing Han Che smile, Xiao Bai quickly smoothed her hair and composed herself. "But there's something I really need to tell you."

Han Che noticed that Xiao Bai looked up and seemed to have a slightly red face. He assumed it was because the water in her hand was too hot and gestured for Xiao Bai to continue.

Xiao Bai said seriously, "First, the authorities want us to go there tomorrow. We'll be preparing to go to the joint training location in the next few days. It's overseas, in Longcheng."

Han Che frowned, thought carefully for a while, and finally figured out where Longcheng was. "I don't have any plans lately, so I can come along."

Xiao Bai nodded and continued, "The second thing is about Qi Shao, Qi Yuhao. He came this morning and said he wanted to join our club and go to Longcheng together."

"Qi Yuhao? What is he thinking? Would his father agree to this?" Han Che asked in surprise.

Xiao Bai shook his head. "That's the key point. Didn't he come before and say he wanted to sponsor the office building? I thought that whether it worked out or not, it was President Qi's good intention, and I should at least call to thank him. But I haven't been able to get in touch with him for several times."

"Qi Yuhao came this morning and said that his father had called him earlier, said a lot of things that sounded like he was leaving a will, and then disappeared. That's why Qi Yuhao is planning to go abroad to find his father."

At this point, Xiao Bai suddenly remembered something he hadn't explained yet, "By the way, his dad used to work on a pretty big project in Longcheng, and Qi Yuhao said it was very likely related to the joint training."

"What a coincidence?" Han Che asked in surprise.

Xiao Bai nodded. "That country's economy isn't doing very well. If the UN really chooses that country for joint training, it will definitely need investment and construction. It's quite possible that a large group like the Qi Group could do it."

Han Che seemed thoughtful. "What are your thoughts?"

Xiao Bai thought for a moment, "If what Qi Yuhao said is true, I think we should help him, but I'm not very familiar with him and don't know much about him..."

"Although Qi Yuhao is a second-generation rich kid, he is quite hardworking, and I have a good impression of him."

After Han Che said that, Xiao Bai understood. "Alright, let's take him there first and see how things go."

"Such a big boss, how could he just disappear like that?" Han Che found it unbelievable.

Xiao Bai shook his head. "Who knows? Anything can happen these days. Anyway, the Joker gang incident has made everyone in the country very uneasy. Even the government and the Men in Black have been infiltrated. We have to be extra careful if we want to go out."
