Ken was still sitting on the floor, leaning against the wall. Before he could process everything further, his phone vibrated on the floor.
Usually, the unknown number like this were either loan offers or customers who sent the wrong address.
For some reason, this time he answered. The voice on the other end sounded calm and professional.
“Good afternoon. Am I speaking with Mr. Ken?”
Ken immediately sat up a little straighter.
“Yes. Who is this?”
“I’m Freya from the legal division of Aurora Logistics Group. We are contacting you regarding a change in the company’s shareholding structure.”
Ken’s heart beat a little faster, but he kept listening seriously.
“There are several documents you need to sign as part of the verification and authorization process.”
Ken didn’t respond immediately. His gaze went blank for a moment, as if connecting the pieces that had just happened.
“…so,” he said slowly, “this is about those shares?”
“That’s correct, Mr. Ken. You are currently registered as one of the shareholders of Aurora Logistics Group. Therefore, your presence is required for further administrative processing.”
Ken let out a slow breath, the corner of his lips lifting slightly.
“That was fast,” he murmured almost inaudibly.
“Excuse me?”
“Nothing. Please continue.”
The woman continued, “We would like to invite you to come to the Aurora Logistics headquarters tomorrow at 10 a.m. Our legal team will assist you through the entire process, including explaining your rights and obligations as a shareholder.”
“Alright,” he replied shortly. “I’ll be there.”
“Thank you for your time.”
The call ended, and the room fell silent again. Ken stared at his phone for a few seconds, then the corner of his lips lifted slightly.
…
The next morning, Ken wore his best outfit, simple, but clearly better than before, bought the night before with money he got with the help of the system.
He adjusted his collar slightly, then let out a slow breath as he looked at the Aurora Logistics headquarters building standing majestically in the middle of the city.
Now, he entered through the main entrance.
But as soon as he reached the reception desk, a young woman behind it lifted her head, glanced at him briefly, then returned her attention to her computer screen.
“What do you need?” she asked indifferently, without a smile.
Ken stopped in front of her.
“I have an appointment. With the legal division.”
The woman finally looked at him again. This time longer, from head to toe.
“Name?”
“Ken.”
Ken stated his name clearly. The woman’s fingers moved quickly across the keyboard. A few seconds passed, then she frowned.
“Not listed.”
Ken frowned slightly.
“I was contacted yesterday. By Miss Freya, from the legal division.”
The woman stopped typing. Her tone changed slightly, but not into politeness, rather into doubt.
“Miss Freya from legal?”
“Yes.”
She leaned back slightly in her chair, looking at Ken with a different expression.
“Sir, if you want to get in here, don’t make up the names of insiders.”
“What do you mean?”
“My meaning is clear,” she replied, now with a slightly mocking tone. “The legal division isn’t someone just anyone can contact. Especially…”
Her gaze went up and down, judging Ken’s appearance again.
“…outsiders.”
Some people in the lobby began to glance over.
Ken remained standing where he was.
“I’m not making anything up.”
The woman scoffed softly.
“If you really had an appointment, it would be in the system. But your name isn’t there.”
“I was contacted directly.”
“Oh really?”
Now she smiled faintly, but it was clearly not friendly.
“In a dream?”
Some passersby began to smile, some even chuckled.
Ken let out a slow breath, holding back his emotions to stay calm and polite.
“I don’t have time for this. Please check again.”
Hearing that, the woman immediately frowned and sneered.
“Sir, I also don’t have time to deal with people who come without a clear appointment.”
“There is an appointment.”
“Proof?”
Ken fell silent for a moment. Indeed, he had no proof except the phone call. Besides, he lacked experience in matters like this, that was why last night he didn’t ask many questions and simply agreed.
The woman immediately caught that pause and became convinced Ken was lying.
“There isn’t any, right?” she said. She pointed toward the door and rudely added, “If you don’t have a clear purpose, please leave. Don’t disturb operations.”
Ken looked at her for a few seconds.
“So you won’t allow me to enter?”
“No,” she replied quickly. “Not without proof.”
“Alright.”
Ken took out his phone. Not to argue further, but to contact the only person who mentioned his name yesterday.
At the same time, whispers began to be heard around him.
Ken ignored them. He simply stood there, waiting for the call to connect, while behind the desk, the receptionist continued to look at him with a condescending expression.
The ringing tone stretched in his ear, but there was no answer. He pressed redial, but it still wasn’t picked up.
The receptionist had lost her patience. She let out a rough breath, then pressed a button beside her.
“Security,” she said coldly. “Please come to the front lobby.”
A few seconds later, two security officers approached.
The receptionist pointed directly at Ken.
“Take this man out. He’s lying and disturbing other visitors.”
One of the officers stepped forward.
“Sir, please come with us.”
Ken didn’t move. His gaze remained calm, but his feet seemed rooted to the floor.
“I’m not leaving.”
The officer exchanged glances with his partner. His tone hardened. One of them began to raise his hand, about to touch Ken’s shoulder, but Ken slightly shifted his body to avoid it.
“Don’t make this difficult, Sir.”
The receptionist stood up from her chair, her face annoyed.
“If he still refuses, just force him out!”
Ken took a slow breath. If they really forced him, he wouldn’t stay still.
Just as the tension was about to break, a voice came from behind.
“Oh… Ken. What are you doing here? Shouldn’t you be at home… reflecting on your fate?”
Ken slowly turned his head, and when he saw the face his eyes narrowed slightly.

64. Building Something of His Own
Audrey turned toward Ken.For several seconds, she simply stared at the man as if making sure whether Ken was actually serious or was just talking without thinking.Ken, who noticed her gaze, merely gave a small grin."Why? You don't believe me?"Audrey did not answer yet.Ken raised his chin slightly, then continued in a relaxed tone that sounded quite confident."I may just be an ordinary delivery guy, but not all of my clients are ordinary people."He went back to stirring the food on the stove as if he had just said something unimportant."Don't worry. I can provide the initial capital."Audrey finally raised an eyebrow."That much?""For starting out, it should be enough."Ken thought for a moment before adding, "As for the next round of capital, I'll figure it out later. Yeah, it shouldn't be too difficult."His tone was light. There was no sense that he was showing off his wealth, but he sounded confident enough that he could handle whatever problems arose later.After all, he

"Hah... making money is really exhausting," Ken muttered as he sprawled out on the sofa.His delivery jacket was still clinging to his body. He had not even had the chance to unzip it yet.On the opposite sofa, Audrey, who had been focused on her laptop all this time, slowly moved her eyes toward Ken. Her gaze stopped for a few seconds, then her expression changed slightly.Ken caught the change from the corner of his eye. He opened one eye and looked at Audrey."What's wrong?"Audrey looked back at her laptop, but her lips moved as she answered in a flat tone, "You stink."Ken immediately opened both eyes wide."Huh?""You stink." Audrey's tone remained flat."Me?"Ken frowned. He raised one hand and sniffed the sleeve of his jacket. He then sniffed the front of the jacket and still felt that everything was fine. Still unconvinced, Ken raised his own arm and brought his nose closer to his armpit.One breath and his expression changed.His body froze in place."...Oh. I guess... it re
62. The Price of a Mistake
A knock sounded in the middle of the conversation.Miles, who was reading a report, stopped moving his hand.“Come in.”The door opened. A female secretary stood in the doorway with a cautious expression.“Mr. Miles. Miss Lizzy has arrived. She asked to see you.”Miles raised an eyebrow slightly.There was no significant change in his expression, but his eyes briefly shifted toward the suited man who was still standing in front of his desk.“Alright. Our discussion is over.”The man immediately nodded. He took back the documents, then walked toward the door.Miles turned back to his secretary.“Let her in.”“Yes, Sir.”The secretary left.A few seconds later, the door opened again.Lizzy entered with slow steps. Her face looked slightly gloomy, her lips pursed. But the moment her eyes found Miles, her expression immediately changed.A small smile appeared on her face.“Darling...”Miles merely lifted his eyes from the document in his hand. There was no smile or greeting in return.Liz
61. New Boss’s First Order
The door of the black car opened, and Miles stepped out with calm strides.The moment his feet touched the front courtyard of the Bright Horizon building, several people who had already been waiting immediately moved closer.“Welcome, Mr. Miles.”“We’re glad you’ve finally taken over Bright Horizon.”“If there’s anything we can help you with, please—”Miles did not even slow his pace. He simply raised one hand, cutting off all the greetings coming at him one after another.“That’s enough.”His voice was flat, without a smile or any unnecessary pleasantries.The executives who had been smiling broadly moments earlier immediately exchanged glances before hurriedly following behind him. To them, Miles’s arrival should have been good news.To Miles himself, this was nothing more than a punishment wrapped in a position. His father called it an opportunity to prove himself.Miles knew better.After the previous incident, his father no longer gave him room to handle the family’s main busines
60. The Company Behind It All
Audrey finally moved. Her face was still stiff, but her voice slowly returned.“I no longer work at Bright Horizon.”Her tone was flat, but there was clear pressure behind every word. She took a short breath.“So if you’re calling about work, there’s nothing left to discuss with me.”The voice on the other end sounded again.Audrey immediately clenched her jaw.“I’ve also handed over everything that was under my responsibility. If your company has a problem, deal with it yourselves.”A hint of sarcasm began to creep into her voice.“Don’t come looking for me just because you’ve only now remembered who used to handle everything.”Ken, sitting across from her, said nothing. His hand was still holding his spoon, but its movement had stopped. He could hear part of the conversation clearly.Audrey stared blankly ahead.“And I have nothing to do with that company anymore.”A few seconds later, the voice from the other end sounded again. This time, Audrey’s expression changed. Not much, only

It was Audrey, who had just returned home. A thin folder was in her hand, with several sheets of paper sticking out from inside.Ken got off the motorcycle.“You just got home?”Audrey nodded. Her gaze briefly fell to the folder in her hand before returning to Ken.Ken studied her face for a few seconds. There was a hint of exhaustion there.“You were...”Audrey raised the folder slightly.“Applying for jobs.”Ken immediately understood.“Ah.”That was all that came out of his mouth. He didn't ask anything further, and Audrey didn't offer any explanation either.The two of them stood silently in front of the gate for several seconds, while the sound of vehicles from the main road could be heard faintly in the distance.Finally, Audrey opened the gate and walked inside first. She said nothing else, simply gave a small nod before walking past Ken toward her room.The bedroom door closed a few seconds later.Ken stood in the living room, glancing briefly at the closed door. He let out a
