"Big brother, there’s a gathering at Xuefeng Security Services this afternoon. You all have to attend!" Li Wenlong shouted from the woods. "You're all key members and founders of Xuefeng!"

"Can I skip it?"

"What do you think?"

Xue Ying pouted, knowing she had to go to the company gathering today, despite her aversion to such events. She reluctantly agreed.

"Fine!"

Everyone returned to the villa to prepare for the gathering. Early preparation was essential to avoid any last-minute rush.
