Protagonist:

Chen Yi

Han Jie placed her red high heels on the windowsill, her movements as graceful as if she were arranging porcelain.

Her feet were rounded and slender, the red nail polish cute and sexy. Chen Yi, at work, spared a glance and took a full 3 seconds to look back. That long was enough for him to finish reviewing several documents.

Han Jie seemed unaware, saying worriedly, "Did Uncle's former company veterans also make you stamp all the documents?"

In her view, Chen Yi was single-handedly managing a company of a hundred thousand people; no matter how she thought about it, it was impossible.

Zhu Yuanzhang might have done similar things, but even he couldn't have been detailed enough to approve even employee sick leave notes.

The person involved was quite at ease, replying, "My judgment has no problem; even if I stamp all documents, they can't control it. Moreover, the previous process isn't abolished, just adding one more step at my end."

Chen Yi pulled out a sheet of paper with a "hua" sound, tossed it to the left, and said, "Look, this side is the documents that didn't pass; none without my stamp can be implemented. Honestly, the company's efficiency has therefore improved considerably, and employee morale has stabilized. Otherwise, just the recent news alone would have people panicked."

If a company's top leader can manage all company affairs with dozens of times the intelligence, brainpower, and energy, efficiency would of course improve considerably. The problem is ordinary company leaders don't have Intelligence Scrolls and Agility Scrolls, let alone tons of Knowledge Potions as reserves.

Han Jie completely couldn't keep up with Chen Yi's train of thought; she picked up a failed document, which was a Martial Arts Hall application report to purchase flowers, the content extremely simple.

"Why didn't this document pass?" She waved it, then immediately thought to hand it to Chen Yi to look at.

Unexpectedly, Chen Yi just glanced with the corner of his eye and replied, "The prices of the Lucky Bamboo, Rich Bamboo, and Begonia they're purchasing are wrong, 30% higher than market price. I've already replied for the Policy Research Office to investigate, suspecting kickbacks and such."

Han Jie opened her mouth in surprise, saying, "You know the market price of Lucky Bamboo?"

"Knowledge Solvent." Chen Yi's pen-holding hand pointed backward; a waist-thick sea bowl full of blue liquid was indeed Knowledge Solvent. He blinked, smiling, "See? My judgments all come from knowledge reserves. I had people make daily news and other info into images, dissolved in Knowledge Solvent. I haven't eaten properly for over a week."

Han Jie didn't know what expression to show, a rare dazed look that Chen Yi found very amusing. However, his hand movements didn't stop in the slightest.

This is the best way he's gained to brush Divine Power, surpassing any previous method.

Besides "Words and Deeds Consistent" providing 100,000 Divine Power daily increase, "Honesty" and "Oath Keeping" giving twenty to thirty thousand daily, the "Order" attribute brought by the company and Martial Arts Hall's rigor is also increasing significantly.

Of course, the "Order" increase is related to the "Orderliness" Chen Yi brings; it's not a very stable attribute. Currently, it's entering a rapid growth phase, also barely reaching 100,000 level daily. This also represents that the company, Martial Arts Hall, and other institutions under Chen Yi are rapidly returning to orderliness, and even surpassing it.

With so many benefits, Chen Yi couldn't help but work hard.

Heaven-sent opportunity, if not seized quickly, waiting for Heaven to give a second chance — those people are all failures. Most of the time, a person can only get lucky once.

The rustling sound of flipping pages sounded again.

Han Jie smiled faintly, decisively bending down to organize the documents Chen Yi had thrown on the ground. This was a scene very familiar to her; when she was little, her busy father worked hard just like this, while her mother supported him to the best of her ability.

A family's prosperity is a family's precisely because it comes from the whole family's effort. An alcoholic father and drug-addicted mother might produce a cute, striving boy, but an alcoholic husband and drug-addicted wife could never revitalize a family.

Chen Yi naturally sped up; the "da da" stamping sound was like an automatic rifle.

The two worked in tacit understanding for an hour, then suddenly stopped simultaneously.

Han Jie touched her belly wistfully, saying, "Aren't you hungry?"

Chen Yi actually stopped a few milliseconds later than her; now he pointed behind him helplessly, saying, "My stomach is reserved for Knowledge Gel."

"You've been eating this for a whole week?"

"Yeah, information is as numerous as cow hairs; if I stop, my judgment will err. And..." Chen Yi shrugged, "Seems there's no time to eat."

Han Jie couldn't help but say anxiously, "You can't keep being busy like this forever."

"Won't. Didn't I say brush Divine Power? I prefer the Words and Deeds Consistent Divine Art; haven't brushed it much before. Once it's filled to Level 2, I'll naturally be free."

Chen Yi's "Honesty" Faith brushed up.

Han Jie listened in bewilderment, laughing, "If you're too busy, I'll prepare something for you here; wasting a bit of stomach space doesn't matter, right?"

"No problem, big belly." Chen Yi patted his stomach, laughing, "What are you preparing to make?"

"How about red meat? Or some more fish and fruit? Wait a moment, I'll prepare. You continue working." Han Jie clapped her hands, took out her phone, and started summoning manpower.

Chen Yi smiled, lowered his head, and worked.

After a while, porters began arriving at the top floor.

Chen Yi's office in the Martial Arts Hall occupied half a floor, about 2000 square meters; from the entrance to the desk required walking several tens of meters. Not only spacious enough for exercise, but an open kitchen would be no problem either.

A set of simple Western meat cooking station was quickly set up properly, looking like a proper kitchen.

Han Jie changed into cotton slippers, tied a white apron over her dress, held a knife in each hand, and sharpened them hard twice.

"Simple is fine." Chen Yi looked up and said a sentence, then laughed, feeling he was really talking nonsense; half a kitchen had been moved into the office, how could it be any simpler?

Ingredients arrived with the kitchen utensils; Han Jie swiftly opened a pot, saying, "Do you want beef or pork?"

"How about some bacon?" Compared to complex steak and pork chops, frying bacon is something almost any man can do.

He knew Han Jie could make excellent coffee and tea, but her cooking skills were not well known; to avoid an embarrassing situation, a simpler dish was more suitable.

Han Jie bent down to search for bacon, saying, "I remember there are three to five kinds of bacon, German and British, and a Xijing-produced one. Auntie used to make it for me..."

Only then did Chen Yi notice that below the kitchen utensils was a horizontal refrigerator, with considerable capacity.

A set of standard kitchen utensils transformed into portable form?

Such research results are actually being used by someone.

Chen Yi's attention didn't stay focused for long; right in front of him, a beautiful, perky peach-shaped buttocks swayed before his eyes — this was far more tempting than bacon or anything.

"Want some toast? Or bread?"

"Both fine."

Han Jie smiled beautifully, letting the frying pan emit a sizzling oil sound, accompanied by an alluring aroma.

Chen Yi sped up, finished a pile of documents, then darted to the kitchen position.

"Hungry, right?" Han Jie said proudly, "6 slices of bacon and 2 slices of toast, plus a fried egg — how about that?"

"Not a bad breakfast."

"Also baked spare ribs, with tomato sauce."

"Not bad." Chen Yi stared into Han Jie's eyes, barely restraining himself from getting handsy.

After all, he wasn't a wet-behind-the-ears kid anymore.

"Sit down nicely. Want steak?"

"If there is, then of course." Chen Yi rubbed his hands together; he hadn't eaten meat properly in days — well, eaten a proper meal.

Han Jie plated the food with gentle movements.

The lights turned on automatically.

The two suddenly realized the sun had already set; the slanting western sunlight shot in through the floor-to-ceiling window on the side, like neon.

Chen Yi rose silently, naturally putting his arm around Han Jie, yet Source Energy surged in his chest.

Brushing Divine Power up to now, the Divine Art "Exemption" reaching Level Two was inevitable, but exactly when it would hit was not up to him.

Some Divine Arts Knights advanced the moment their Divine Power was sufficient; others had to wait a long time — no one knew the specific timing.

Chen Yi neither wanted to waste the rare tender moment nor let the Source Energy surging in his chest subside, so he stood quietly before the window.

Embracing under the sunset — in a girl's eyes, it's all romantic.

Perhaps anything can become romantic, as long as it's the right time, the right place, and the right person.

Han Jie rested her chin comfortably on Chen Yi's shoulder, closing her eyes in enjoyment.

Bluish light, like sublimated seawater, enveloped the whole house.

A massive influx of Source Energy instantly broke through the Divine Art rank restriction; "Exemption" advanced to Divine Arts Level Two, passive spell immunity strengthened to Level Five, active spell immunity strengthened to Level Nine — at least Hiroshima-class Fatty and Skinny could no longer pose a threat.

If it were Level Three Divine Art "Exemption," active immunity to Tenth-level Spells would mean immunity against everything below Divine Arts Knights and Saint Mages.

No need to look for Chen Yi to celebrate; the remaining Source Energy rampaged everywhere, already bathing the room in beautiful light.

Like fireworks made of light.

"So pretty." Han Jie suddenly opened her eyes, startling Chen Yi.

However, she only thought it was lighting Chen Yi had prepared, and she was happy inside.

The smell of burnt steak interrupted the beautiful moment.

Han Jie pulled away embarrassedly, saying: "The main course is ruined."

"Bacon and ribs and all — I ate my fill long ago. Your appetite isn't small."

"Where would that be? I'll brew tea." Han Jie nimbly produced a tea set from her massive portable kitchen.

After a cup of green tea, the sky gradually darkened.

The after-work rush had already ended; the now-relaxed Han Jie finally remembered the purpose of her visit and hurriedly asked: "Is the central bank's audit troublesome? I can ask Grandpa to put in a word."

"My old man stepped in long ago." Chen Yi waved his hand with a smile, saying: "We're playing the late-mover advantage; let's wait and see what the central bank wants to do."

"What do they want to do?"

"Gold, gold bonds — maybe take the chance to topple the Chen Family." Chen Yi shrugged, saying: "No need to worry; as long as they don't go too far, we won't add more pressure."

Han Jie couldn't help laughing, saying: "I'm not worrying for the central bank. But letting them audit the books like this doesn't seem right either."

"Oh?"

"They'll always dig up something." Han Jie hid her smile behind tea-drinking; the problem of capital's original sin can never be solved.

Chen Yi also laughed, teasing: "You mean you want to give them some trouble?"

"Want help finding trouble?" Han Jie relaxedly cracked a joke.

Chen Yi actually thought it pretty good; it was time to give everyone more pressure.
