After I got home, I didn't ask Juyan how he intended to handle the matter. To ask too abruptly would have seemed as if I didn't trust his capabilities. I just needed to wait for the results; as for the process, he would tell me naturally if he wanted to.
The next day, I didn't go to the appointment. My father was dead anyway, and the other two bastards were not far behind, so work was more important. March and April were the busiest months after the New Year. We had just finished dealing with the CBIRC inspection, and the annual strategic alignment meeting was coming up next. The strategic material package alone was over two hundred pages long, integrating the BCG consulting report and digital KPI dashboard data. The digital budget was the CFO’s job, but we had to rush through the approvals on our end, which meant coordinating with the legal department and making them work overtime to review it.
On top of preparing for cross-border meetings and approvals, my daily workload had also increased. I had to handle over 150 encrypted emails every day, manage more than 15 parallel meeting threads, and find time to meet with external suppliers. Anthony, that deadbeat, had slipped away on a business trip to attend some small meetings and enjoy the peace, leaving me behind in the office to work overtime. If I managed to leave work by eight at night, I was lucky.
