"All right, I'll go up first."

Lilian nodded, watching him disappear from the corner leading to the elevator.

Johnson came to the president's office, knocked on the door, and pushed it open, walking straight in.

Francis was leafing through a document on the sofa.

"Francis."

He glanced up at Johnson and said, "Take a seat."

Johnson nodded slightly and sat down from cross him. "What's so important that you had to call so late?"

Francis threw the document at him and said, "You know about Frankie's entry restrictions, right?"

"Yes, I know. The problem has been solved, hasn't it?"

"It's been solved, but there're other problems."

"What other problems?"

Francis took out a cigarette, lit it up, and leaned against the sofa, faintly watching Johnson.

"You've worked with the company targeting Frankie before. Do you know about them?"

Johnson pondered for a long while before saying, "I've worked with so many companies. Which one are you referring to?"

"TOPSUN."

Johnson paused and finally remembered. "Oh, it's them."

Francis arched his brows but didn't say anything, waiting for him to continue.

Johnson picked up the document on the table. As he flipped through it, he said, "I've indeed worked with them twice. I was satisfied the first time, but they started to slack off the second time.

"They also wished to sign a long-term cooperation agreement with us, and I kept asking them to revise their proposal. In the end, they probably got fed up and gave up. Does it have anything to do with the current issue?"

Francis silently watched him, the cigarette burning between his fingers, white smoke drifting between them.

Johnson's expression remained unchanged from beginning to end-a smile he usually wore.

He took the last drag, then extinguished the butt in the ashtray, and said ambiguously, "Maybe."

"You summoned me here just for this, Francis?"

"Yes and no."

"There's something else?"

Francis looked at him intently, studying him for a long while, as he had when Johnson married Ruby.

"Johnson, you've been diligent at the company, and your work is impeccable, but it's important to balance work and rest. Don't neglect your family because of your work."

These words sound like his concern about Johnson, but the meaning between the lines might be that he should pay more attention to Ruby. And what was further beneath this meaning might be... someone as capable as him could make great achievements anywhere, but he chose to marry into the Landau family.

He didn't have shares in the company, only the dividends he could get at the end of each year and his salary as a deputy general manager. But he was devoted to the company and flawless at work, almost treating the company as his own.

It was hard not to suspect his motives.

Johnson's smile froze, but then he said, "Thank you for the reminder. I may have been too eager to prove myself and show my value to the Landau family, neglecting Ruby in the process. That's my fault."

"It's understandable, but be careful not to overwork yourself."

"This is something I should be telling you. Your daily workload is much heavier than mine. I can't match even a tenth of you."

Francis said with a smile, "Let's not talk about work tonight. There'll be a gathering in a while. Go there with me."

Johnson asked, "Is it a social event? I can go alone. Lilian is waiting for you down there! Go home with her. You should also take time to rest."

Francis narrowed his eyes and said with a cold smile, "You brought her here?"
