He had the good sense to go into the kitchen and make some coffee.
Wang Ye was busy as soon as he came back. Even when Young Master Qin and Young Master Zhang came over, he didn't come out of the study. It's really the world of big bosses. Everyone has their own things to do...

Qiao Nian went out at seven o'clock.
She put on a baseball cap and pulled her hoodie to the top, hiding her outstanding face, but it couldn't hide her striking fair skin and her unruly temperament.
Anyone who knows her will definitely recognize her at a glance if they meet her.
She went out and took a taxi to Chang'an Street. When she arrived at a private restaurant, she sat down at a window seat with ease.
Less than ten minutes later, a person who hadn't been seen for a long time pulled out a chair opposite and sat down.
"Qiao."
Sitting opposite her was a young woman in her early twenties. She looked very ordinary, but her eyes were bright and her behavior was dashing.
Qiao Nian asked the boss to come over, ordered a few dishes, and poured himself a glass of water. He looked sharply at the person sitting opposite him, like a primary school student meeting his teacher.
"Lu Zhi is here?"
Jian Jin was still overwhelmed with shame when she saw her again. She looked at the girl's clear eyes and pursed her lips: "Boss, he..."
"What is he doing here?" Qiao Nian took a sip of water and put the cup down casually: "Didn't I say that China is my territory and I don't allow him to set foot on my territory?"
Jian Jin's whole body stiffened, remembering the fight in the illegal area, what Qiao Nian had said to Lu Zhi, and how unpleasant their last fight was.
She subconsciously looked at the girl's expression, but saw that the girl was just leaning back in the chair with her hands at her sides, with a cold expression, as if she was just asking a question.
She relaxed again: "Boss heard about what happened in F Continent and was worried..."
Qiao Nian made a big move in F Continent, and even the illegal areas heard about it.
Especially after Qiao Nian made such a big fuss, Nie Qingru died. All forces were waiting to see how the two forces from Continent M and Continent F would fight each other next.
Lu Zhi had been in seclusion for some time to treat his crippled legs. When he came out, he heard about these things and immediately brought Jian Jin to Beijing.
Unexpectedly, Qiao Nian’s message came as soon as they landed.
Ask to see her by name.
Jian Jin looked at the girl sitting opposite her again and felt an indescribable feeling in her heart.
This time they came here using fake identities and disguised themselves. It should have been difficult for the outside world to know their whereabouts, but Qiao Nian found out about it immediately.
Thinking of this, Jian Jin took a deep breath, raised her eyes, and said to her with a serious expression: "We have found out that there is a force targeting you."
"Huh?" It was hard to tell from the girl's expression whether she knew about it or not.
"That force is not an independent state, nor an illegal area, nor a hidden family. Instead, it seems to be... a place that the boss once mentioned to me."
Qiao Nian looked at her this time, his eyes dark and deep, and said before she could: "On the island."
Jian Jin was shocked: "How did you know?"
Then she smiled bitterly and raised her hands to cover her eyes: "I had forgotten that you have always been more capable than us. How could you not know what we all know? It was you who took us away when we were young..."
Perhaps it was because of the childhood memories that Jian Jin's tense back relaxed inch by inch, and the look in her eyes when she looked at Qiao Nian returned to its previous intimacy: "I don't know much, I only know that this 'island' does not simply refer to the power of an island, but an ancient family. They have been passed down for who knows how many years, similar to a hidden family, but even more mysterious and powerful than a hidden family." (End of this chapter)
