The big shot is trending on social media every day.

Thinking of that aloof yet undeniably beautiful and striking young face, Jiang Li's smile became a little more genuine.

It was expensive, and the price was from a long time ago.

That big shot, if you meet him now, you have to call him Professor Gu.

Another message came through: "[I really enjoy seeing your indomitable spirit and your willingness to fight, and I hope you can always be like this.]"

A teenage girl is providing counseling to another teenage girl.

Such a scene is somewhat cruel.

It would be best if this never happened again.

Jiang Li didn't answer, her fingers tapping the keyboard as she changed the subject: "The Narcotics Control Bureau has been operating recently, and they've instructed their subordinates to cooperate closely and share information completely."

The voice on the other end said: "[That's no problem, the blue notification has already been sent to Director Xu. But since you've already helped Director Xu upgrade the system, when are you going to spare some time for me?]"

Jiang Li: [Evening.]

Tomorrow, filming for "Like a Dream" will officially begin in Haicheng. She has to fly over from Beicheng this afternoon, so she won't have time.

The other side: [Okay.]

……

Jiang Li returned to Huating County.

She pushed open the door, and two wolves came to greet her with their tails held high.

Then Jiang Zaiye called out, "Brother, could you bring me all the packets of mints on the coffee table? I'm packing them for my sister."

Qin Yexiao casually picked up the candy, passed by Jiang Li, and placed a plate of freshly cut fruit in her hands, his voice deep and magnetic, "Put on your shoes."

Jiang Li raised an eyebrow, kicked off her high heels, slipped her feet into flip-flops, picked up a piece of honeydew melon, dipped it in an ice cream scoop, and ate it.

It was also sprinkled with a layer of colorful, tiny candy crumbs.

It looks good, tastes good, and is refreshingly cool.

She slowly walked over to the sofa and sat down.

"Sis." Jiang Zaiye pushed an enormous suitcase, as tall as himself, out of the room, looking for praise, and said, "Baby has packed all the luggage."

Jiang Li gave a lazy "hmm".

Jiang Zaiye looked at her shyly and awkwardly, "Then, sister, can you give me a little reward?"

The next second, something was thrown at Jiang Zaiye.

Jiang Zaiye received the car keys with both hands and saw that they were the ones he had asked Uncle Fengying to give him. The little boy was deeply moved. He held the car keys tightly in his chubby hands, propped his chin up, and said with starry eyes, "Baby is so happy today! I love you, sister!" He added a heart gesture with his chest.

Qin Yexiao glanced at Jiang Zaiye's affected manner, his expression somewhat indescribable.

Unlike Jiang Li, he can only resemble someone else.

Jiang Li remained expressionless, his dark eyes slightly tilted as he stared at the child. He pointed at him with a metal fork and said, "While I'm away from Beicheng, you must stay at school and not skip classes."

Jiang Zaiye's little face turned serious, and he said firmly, "Don't worry, sister. Studying hard and taking care of you is my lifelong mission! Skipping class is such an abstract concept, I don't know it!"

Qin Yexiao: "..."

Qin Yexiao looked away.

After Jiang Zaiye finished speaking, his big eyes darted between the two of them, and he suddenly said, "Sister, brother, I took Xi Shi and Diao Chan out to play!"

After he finished speaking, the two wolf cubs eagerly ran over with the leash in their mouths.

Jiang Zaiye put the caps on them, then put a small baseball cap and mask on himself, and immediately took the two of them out the door.

As the door closed, the child gave Qin Yexiao an approving look through the crack.

He needs to step aside and give his dad room to do things!
Qin Yexiao sensed the look in his eyes and raised an eyebrow slightly.

Is Jiang Zaiye on his side?

The hall fell silent.

"Let Qin Lin go with you to Haicheng to film a movie." Qin Yexiao saw that she had finished eating the colorful candies decorating her ice cream, so he gave her some more.

There are a lot of restless people lately, so having Qin Lin go along will avoid a lot of trouble.

Jiang Li raised her fox-like eyes slightly, "Would it make a difference if I refused?"

Qin Yexiao looked at her, his eyes deep and intense, his voice low and magnetic, "A free bodyguard who can handle trouble and drive, you really don't want him?"

Jiang Li remained silent, as expected.

Qin Yexiao smiled, his slightly rough fingertips wiping away the barely noticeable ice cream liquid on her lips, lingering on the corner of her lips in an intimate and ambiguous way, "So, how about you consider marrying me?"

Jiang Li frowned: "..."

Come again.

Qin Yexiao's hot fingers traced her cool skin, his eyes shimmering with a dark glint, his voice low and gentle, yet seductive, "I can solve all your problems, and all my assets will be in your name. It's a sure thing, how about it?"

Looking directly at them, their fox-like eyes were captivating and alluring, with jet-black pupils that were mesmerizing. Their perfectly proportioned bone structure was visually striking.

Jiang Li pushed his hand away, returned the fruit plate to him, stood up expressionlessly, glanced at him from top to bottom, and said calmly and concisely, "No."

Qin Yexiao: "..."

……

At 4 p.m., a black Bentley drove smoothly into Beicheng International Airport.

A staff member quickly came to open the door.

"Mr. Lin." The airport general manager bowed and scraped to Qin Lin, then glanced at Jiang Li and simply nodded politely, "Ms. Jiang."

Qin Lin gave the general manager a meaningful look, and after two seconds, asked coldly, "Is everything ready?"

The general manager, in a fawning tone, said, "It's ready."

As soon as Xu Miao got out of the car, he saw a private plane, which was larger than a regular plane, with double windows on the upper and lower fuselage, and a huge black-bordered seal script "Qin" logo on the fuselage.

Fortunately, Xu Miao was well-read; otherwise, he wouldn't have recognized that this was a "Qin" character for a while.

Qin Lin walked up to Jiang Li, his baby face no longer showing the disdain he had shown before, and he was very respectful. "Miss Jiang, you can use this private jet to travel between Beicheng and the filming location from now on."

Xu Miao's eyes widened upon hearing this.

What kind of class is this?! You even get to attend it by private jet!
When Cheng Sijun was choosing an assistant for Jiang Li, no one was willing to take the job, so it ended up in the hands of Xu Miao, who had little experience.

The internet portrayed Jiang Li as a monster, and Xu Miao was initially very apprehensive, but she gritted her teeth and went for it anyway.

After spending time with Jiang Li, I discovered that she was very approachable and easy-going.

Xu Miao gripped the bag strap tightly to control his excitement. Indeed, the brave are the ones who enjoy the world first!

Jiang Li wore sunglasses, which covered half of her face, revealing a delicate and beautiful jawline, cold and fair.

She casually smoothed her wind-blown hair and politely greeted Qin Lin, "Thank you."

Qin Lin bowed slightly. "Miss Jiang, you're too kind."

The general manager standing to the side had a subtle look in his eyes, which revealed a hint of disdain.

Jiang Li, with her hands in her pockets and a backpack slung over one shoulder, her black trench coat billowing in the wind, revealing her shapely long legs beneath her short skirt, boarded the plane in high heels.

They watched as the special plane drove onto the runway and took off.

The surroundings quieted down, and the general manager scoffed, "She's just a woman who climbed the social ladder by relying on men. Who knows how long she can stay in the limelight? Qin Lin holds a high position and great power under Master Xiao, so why should he bow down to her?"

The Qin family's secret letter has spread to all the major families.

"Yes," the subordinate chimed in. "I thought everyone around Master Xiao was smart. We even received notice that Miss Bai Zhi would be returning to Beicheng soon, and Mr. Qin Lin is still fawning over a minor celebrity. He's really lowering himself..."

As they spoke, they turned around.

Upon seeing a middle-aged man in a suit, his expression changed slightly.

"Chairman," the general manager and his subordinates said respectfully.

Pei Yue said with a stern face, "You two have really gotten bold, daring to criticize the people around Master Xiao."

"I..." The general manager broke out in a cold sweat. His subordinates stood beside him, trembling and not daring to lift their heads.

Qin Yexiao's sudden mobilization of the private jet meant that Pei Yue, who was handling matters outside, rushed back but still missed personally seeing Qin Lin off at the airport.

But then he saw that his subordinates couldn't even control their own mouths.

Pei Yue said coldly, "Beicheng International Airport is frequented by many important figures every day, none of whom have a simple background. Can you tell the difference? I repeatedly remind you in every meeting that you are forbidden from bringing this kind of flattery and belittling into your work. Do your job well and treat every guest seriously, so as not to offend the wrong people without knowing it and implicate others. Don't you remember that?"

"Chairman, I..." the general manager tried to explain urgently.

"Alright." Pei Yue interrupted him with a stern face. "I don't want to waste any more words. Since you can't be the general manager, then let's find someone else."

The general manager's face turned pale. "Chairman..."

Pei Yue snorted coldly, turned around and strode away.

……

Qin Yexiao's private jet has a very spacious cabin, luxurious yet cool-toned decor, and every item is priceless.

He didn't need anyone to serve him when he traveled, nor did he have any women accompany him; everything was kept simple.

The subsequent cleaning was all done by men.

So only Jiang Li, Xu Miao, and Qin Lin were in the hall.

Qin Lin poured two glasses of ice water and handed them to Jiang Li and Xu Miao. "Miss Jiang, the flight from Beicheng to Haicheng is expected to take two hours and forty minutes. There are game rooms, private cinemas, entertainment rooms, and bedrooms here. You can choose whatever you like."

Xu Miao sat stiffly on the expensive custom-made leather sofa. The room was bright and luxurious, and there was a spiral staircase not far away.

The fact that the airplane had a spiral staircase was enough to give Xu Miao a bit of a shock.

I never imagined that even private cinemas could exist!

Jiang Li leaned back on the sofa, her long legs casually crossed. "Qin Lin."

Qin Lin respectfully replied, "Miss Jiang, please give your instructions."

Jiang Li roughly knew that Qin Yexiao was someone who was highly valued by him, and that he must have guessed or known something, otherwise his attitude wouldn't have changed so drastically.

Jiang Li remained expressionless and spoke slowly, "If you're going to follow me, your behavior must be in accordance with my status. Don't try to get special treatment or cause trouble, understand?"

After the Feng family banquet, she was already in the eye of the storm, and was now seen as a two-timing woman whose fate was uncertain.

Qin Yexiao even arranged for her to use his private jet.

She already had a premonition that she would be in deep trouble no matter what.

Qin Lin understood that Jiang Li disliked attracting attention.

He nodded. "I understand."

Jiang Li raised an eyebrow, got up, picked up her black backpack, and took a glass of ice water to the second floor.

As Qin Lin watched that tall figure go up, he inexplicably felt a sense of relief.

Jiang Lirong had a fair and radiant complexion, and her expression was always frivolous and lazy, giving people the illusion that she was detached from everything and didn't care about anything.

But those fox-like eyes were dark and bewitching. When they stared at someone without blinking, their expressions exuded an undeniable pressure of authority, making it hard for the person to breathe.

Qin Lin withdrew his gaze, glanced at Xu Miao who was stiff-handed and drinking water, and said calmly, "Miss Xu is free to move around in any other place except for the bedroom upstairs."

Xu Miao: "..."

Qin Lin held his phone, dealing with unread messages and emails, before turning and heading to his studio on the first floor.

Xu Miao didn't dare to move at all; it seemed that everything here was more valuable than her worthless life.

Even the water cup in his hand costs six figures.

But what kind of ice water is this? She's never drunk water that tastes so good before.

Indeed, even water in this world has different levels of value and worth.

Fortunately, she was a high-ranking servant in the presence of a noble person!
……

The second floor should be Qin Yexiao's bedroom.

The bed and furnishings are in cool gray tones.

The cool, pungent scent of agarwood, mixed with a hint of masculine mint and tobacco, filled Jiang's nostrils.

She ignored the aggressive undertones and sat down at the glass table.

He casually took out the chipped computer and opened the lid.

In the center of the black screen, a gray-black wolf head logo leaps into view, its eyes blood red.

Jiang Li crossed her legs, leaned back lazily, put on her headset, connected to the satellite network, and entered the internal system of the gray building.

While waiting, Jiang Li took out her cigarette case, bit into one, and lit it. The slender, white cigarette made her red lips look alluring and wild.

"Goddess of Calamity!" The security personnel seemed very excited to see her online. "You've arrived!"

"Hmm." Jiang Li's voice was indifferent. "I've come to upgrade your system."

The woman's long, beautifully slender fingers tapped the keyboard smoothly and quickly.

The screen displays intricate colored graphics and complex code.

……

Central Continent.

Nestled deep within a tranquil and serene forest, a massive, silver-gray building stands majestically.

"Damn! I heard from the security department that the God of Calamity went online today to upgrade their system!" The blond, blue-eyed genius boy rushed into the office, making a big fuss.

The once peaceful and busy open office area was instantly thrown into chaos, as if a nuclear bomb had been dropped on it.

All the young faces turned around, their expressions filled with excitement and anticipation.

"Holy crap! My mysterious idol has finally appeared inside the gray building!"

"At our five-year training debriefing meeting, I thought the God of Calamity would show up. Even if he didn't, it would be good if he could say a few words of encouragement to us from afar!"

"You must be dreaming! The God of Calamity has always disliked these empty formalities. You actually want him to speak at the conference? Are you crazy?"

"Tch, dreaming isn't illegal. Maybe one day the God of Misfortune will take a liking to me!"

They are all people who have undergone rigorous training in the Gray Building and have passed numerous tests to be selected. They are all future talents!
At this moment, the blond, blue-eyed man looked at Bai Zhi and said, "Zhi, you're so lucky. You've been number one in the Xia Kingdom region throughout the training period. You can directly enter the North City Narcotics Control Bureau to take on an important position. You'll definitely be promoted to the Evil God group in the future!"

Bai Zhi was always reserved. Even though her attention was completely diverted upon hearing the news of the God of Calamity's arrival, she still maintained her work.

She only looked up from her documents when she heard someone calling her.

She smiled slightly, her tone calm and composed, unfazed by honor or disgrace, "The Narcotics Control Bureau also has assessments, and I'm not that confident either, but everyone has a chance when the God of Calamity's group recruits new members at the end of the year."

"You're too modest, Zhi! You're not just the No. 1 in Xia Country, you're the best in our year, okay? If you're not even confident about something, then we're all doomed!"

Bai Zhi smiled and continued working, but her eyes deepened.

The Grey Building is the largest international organization, with all its detectives being top talents from various continents. They wield immense power, resulting in a complex web of power dynamics. However, they all share the same goal: to combat crime.

Among these complex and diverse forces, the consensus that the God of Calamity is supreme is undisputed.

Everyone inside the gray building knew that the God of Calamity was from the Xia Kingdom and was extremely biased towards the Northern City Narcotics Control Bureau of the Xia Kingdom.

This is why she chose the Beicheng Narcotics Control Bureau as the first stepping stone in her career.

Considering her background, abilities, and origins.

Even in the Gray Building, the largest international organization with a wealth of talent and countless geniuses, almost everyone inside felt that her future prospects were very bright.

Some even regard her as the future successor of the God of Calamity.

Bai Zhi was suddenly reminded of the rumors circulating in Beicheng, comparing her to a notorious female celebrity, and a cold glint flashed in her eyes.

This is probably the only stain on her life.
