With Qixi approaching, my husband finally found time to promise he’d spend the holiday with me. I teased him that he, the acting CEO, was busier than me, the actual CEO.
But as soon as we entered the cinema, his phone rang urgently. He glanced at the screen, and for the first time, a look of alarm crossed his usually composed face.
“Dear, there’s a serious problem with the tech project. I have to go take care of it.”
I watched him leave through the ticket gates. The noise all around me made my chest feel tight. Every tech project at the company used my father’s patents. My father was both the head of a leading research institute and the company’s chairman, yet he hadn’t heard anything about a problem. What could Shen Huan, a complete novice in research, possibly do about it?
I opened my phone’s location app and followed my husband. I wanted to see for myself what this “serious problem” really was!
