Need help?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His boss, seeing he’d first taken two days off and now asked for three more, assumed something major had happened in Gao Wei’s family and asked with concern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thanks, boss, nothing’s wrong at home—just some personal matters to handle.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Wei gave vague answers, originally planning to quit outright, but remembering his boss’s mentorship, he decided to return to Hong Kong and speak face to face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hanging up, Gao Wei returned to Room 206 and walked up to Chen Yan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is Xu Xingxing, head of the Admin Team at Fox Tao —go with her to rent the office space.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yan looked up and introduced Xu Xingxing to Gao Wei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Boss, are you saying I got promoted?” Xu Xingxing blinked in surprise, then grinned and pressed further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Temporary.
