Translator: EndlessFantasy TranslationEditor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Looking out of the window at the summer night sky, there were dark clouds at only seven o’clock. Xu Zhi suddenly had an impulse, he felt like just breaking through everything. Not only did the large dark clouds not affect Xu Zhi’s mood in any way, instead, it reminded him of a sunny day after the rain.

Seeing that players are identifying with this game, Xu Zhi was happier than anyone else. At the same time, the ambition in Xu Zhi’s heart gradually rose.

Since I, Xu Zhi, was able to attract so many players with a game, I might be able to change Bluestar in the future.

I’m not going to fight for hegemony, but to make the world the way I want it to be.

Without waiting for Xu Zhi to drive home, the heavy rain arrived on schedule.

Xu Zhi had been the president of the company for a month. The sky was cloudless, and the land was dry and waiting to be fed. This heavy rain, which had been held back for a whole month, stirred up waves of fire-like smoke and dust as soon as it fell on the ground.

Pitter-patter…

It was as if beans were pouring down from the sky.

The rain mixed with the dust, and the water vapor connected with the buildings. The misty rain was hazy, and the sky and earth seemed to be occupied by a heavy substance. The line of sight was limited to ten meters.

In this kind of weather, it was too dangerous to drive on the road. Xu Zhi sat in his office and waited for the heavy rain to stop.

The company got off work at six o’clock. Most of the ordinary employees had gone home and avoided the heavy rain.

The majestic sound of the rain made the entire company fall silent. Xu Zhi sat for a while and walked down the stairs. The slightly bright computer screen on the second floor showed that someone was still working. Xu Zhi glanced at it but could not see who it was. When he walked down the first floor, he saw that the entire lobby was already empty.

Xu Zhi sat on the bench at the front desk and flipped through the documents. There were all kinds of trivial documents and registration books.

He looked up at the company door that was facing the front desk. Xu Zhi did not say a word.

“My work is very good. You don’t have to worry.”

“Yes, yes. It’s raining heavily in Xijing right now. I’ll go back to my room after I’m in the company.”

“… Okay, I got it. I’ll call back immediately after my salary is paid next month. Okay, take care of your health. I’ll hang up now.”

The sound of a phone call came from a corner on the first floor. Xu Zhi heard every word. It was a woman’s voice.

Ta!

Ta!

Ta!

The crisp floor and the heavy rain outside the house made the sound of walking particularly loud.

Xu Zhi turned his head and looked at the source of the voice. At that moment, the person who was about to go home after the call ended also saw Xu Zhi.

“President Xu, you… Why are you here!”

Ding Xiaomei looked at Xu Zhi and was very surprised. She had just seen that there was no one on the first floor, but she did not expect Xu Zhi to be sitting at the front desk.

“I’m waiting for the rain to stop. Are you going home now?” Xu Zhi said with a smile.

“Yes, President Xu, I’m just about to go home.”

At this moment, Ding Xiaomei lost her calmness when she was at work with Xu Zhi. She was a little flustered, as if Xu Zhi had exposed her secret.

“The rain is so heavy. Aren’t you going to wait for it to stop?”

Xu Zhi looked at the heavy rain outside the house and said to Ding Xiaomei.

“President Xu, it’s okay. The bus stop is just outside the office. It’s nothing.”
