I waited in front of the stone lion next to the building's main entrance from morning until noon. During this time, many people entered the building. The young security guard skillfully dealt with all kinds of visitors.

The security guard was indeed impartial. Visitors without appointments or escorts were absolutely not allowed into the building. This scene gradually calmed my anxious mood.

The wonton noodles I had for breakfast were almost completely digested by ten o'clock, and now my stomach was empty, rumbling incessantly.

Seeing that it was noon, and lunchtime had arrived, I planned to go eat first and then come back to wait. However, I was a little worried that Liu Wei might come out right after I left, and we would miss each other.

As I hesitated, someone suddenly called out to me not far away.

I didn't hear it clearly at first and thought they were calling someone else.

It wasn't until the second call that I realized they were calling me.

"Boss! Is that you?"

I looked in the direction of the voice and saw a young man with black-rimmed glasses walking towards me. The more I looked at him, the more familiar he seemed, but I couldn't remember his name for a moment.

"It's me, Xiao Liu!"

The young man took off his black-rimmed glasses and looked at me with a smile.

After he took off his glasses, I recognized that the person in front of me was Liu Yuan, who used to be in charge of web design under me, and was also a junior of Liu Wei and me.

"Liu Yuan! Is that you? Liu Yuan!"

I shook his hand excitedly. It had been a long time since we had last seen each other, and I still felt a sense of closeness.

After the startup company was acquired, all the original employees of the company joined this IT company with Liu Wei and became colleagues in the same department.

Now, many of the art design work in their department is outsourced, and Liu Yuan had gone to the outsourcing company to discuss cooperation and was just returning when he happened to run into me.

After Liu Yuan and I exchanged some pleasantries, Liu Yuan asked me what brought me here.

I shook my head and explained my purpose with a wry smile.

Liu Yuan sighed, "Oh, Boss, your timing is really bad. You've waited all morning for nothing. President Liu went out to discuss cooperation today and probably won't be in the office today."

"Ah... is that so?" I felt a wave of frustration, feeling that everything was going wrong.

"Didn't you call President Liu? His phone number hasn't changed. President Liu mentioned you a while ago. If he knew you were looking for him, he would definitely be very happy."

I shook my head. "I lost my phone, and the number has probably been cancelled. I went to a very far place during the time I disappeared. I came back in a hurry this time and didn't think so much about it."

Liu Yuan tilted his head and said to me, "How about I call President Liu and tell him about it first? If he doesn't have any social engagements tonight, maybe you can meet tonight."

Liu Yuan's words relieved my urgent need, and I nodded quickly, "Okay, that's great. Thank you, Liu Yuan. Please help me contact him."

Liu Yuan didn't hesitate and took out his phone to dial. He made several calls in a row. At first, none of the calls went through. It wasn't until the last call that he got through, but Liu Yuan hung up after saying only a few words.

But from Liu Yuan's call, things didn't seem to be going smoothly.

Liu Yuan said to me apologetically, "Boss, I couldn't get through to President Liu's phone, so I called He Qiang. You still remember He Qiang, right? He's President Liu's assistant now. He said that President Liu is in a meeting and will call me back when the meeting is over."

He Qiang, of course I remember him. He was a young man who joined the company in the same batch as Liu Yuan. Liu Wei appreciated him very much at the time, and he had been working with Liu Wei ever since.

"Okay, thank you, Liu Yuan. Don't always call me Boss. I'm not your boss anymore. You can call me Chen Guang or by my name." I smiled at Liu Yuan.

Liu Yuan had a good relationship with the security guard. After explaining my situation, the security guard's attitude towards me changed drastically, from being arrogant to being extremely flattering.

Liu Yuan took me into the building and directly took the elevator to the seventh floor. He said to me, "After our company was acquired, it merged with the original department here to form a new department. All of us original employees of the company came here without exception."

After arriving on the seventh floor, Liu Yuan took me around the seventh floor and said, "The entire seventh floor is our department. There are more than eighty people here. President Liu is the head of the department."

Walking to the door of two adjacent independent offices, Liu Yuan stopped and pointed to one of the offices and said to me, "This is President Liu's office."

Then, he pointed to the other office and said to me, "This is your office. President Liu reserved it for you a long time ago. He said he would use it when you came back. Now that you are back, I will take you in to take a look. I have the key here."

Ah, Liu Wei is so thoughtful. Seeing that the size and specifications of the two offices were completely the same, it was impossible to tell who had a higher status or greater power.

"No need, I won't be using this office. No need to bother. Let's just wait here for Liu Wei to call back."

I sat on the sofa in the reception room, waiting for news from Liu Wei, watching the employees who were frantically coding and developing at their workstations. My memories were suddenly pulled back to the difficult times when Liu Wei and I first started our business.
