It was afternoon and the sun was blazing overhead. Moreover, it was the outskirts of the city and there was little traffic on the road. There were only the trees by the roadside shining under the sunlight.

Jisoo stood by the pavement for quite a while before she managed to hail a cab. Of course, her destination was Layover Organization. The moment she entered the taxi, she called Taehyung.

The line was busy.

Knowing he would be under great pressure, she decided not to call again. After such a big announcement, it was not a surprise that he would be swamped with calls.

The cab travelled very quickly on the road. The window was open and wind flooded in. Jisoo’s feelings were like the wind, pounding and unstable.

The news that she had just watched floated in her mind once again, with Jung Haein’s demeanor full of confidence, and the several key words: “industry leader”, “hundreds of millions in investments”, “intense competition”... all automatically flowing into her brain.

Her phone was filled with news related to the Sha Ying brand, which had already flooded the internet. Pages and pages of introductions of its features, advertising measures that had covered all grounds, and just looking at it made one tremble in fear.

“Ultra-light”, “ultra-strong”, “water-resistant”, “dirt withstanding”, “designed by the world’s top designer, Jason Wu”, “a whole line of the hottest stars and tens of millions spent on endorsements”, “570 department stores nationwide jointly promoting”...

The rumors regarding “Mind jumping ship” were spreading more and more intensely, such that truths and rumors were no longer distinguishable.

Thinking about these b*stard things, Jisoo’s fingers just anxiously tapped at the car window to the point that the driver also asked anxiously, “Girl, what has made you so anxious?”

Jisoo did not say a word in response.

She could still feel a dull ache in her back and legs. Her mind was racing between thoughts of the passionate two days spent with Taehyung, and that their competitor had launched a strong counter-attack. She had no idea how bad the situation was. This made her even more anxious.

Very quickly, Jisoo’s phone was flooded with calls.

The calls were endless and there were even more messages. In an instant, 50 messages had come in, and opening them, almost all were from the subordinates and close affiliates of the company, asking her what had happened and whether Mind had really jumped ship.

Jisoo decided not to check anymore.

The phone calls were in the same vein. At such times, the frontline resources were all as anxious as she was. Jisoo was able to stay composed when dealing with them, reassuring them with a few gentle words and expressing that the organization’s general headquarters would definitely have a countermeasure in place for them to stably continue existing sales. They need not be afraid of New Bori.

However, not being afraid was a lie. New Bori was the leader of the industry, and with their clear and direct challenge to Layover, who wouldn’t be scared? Each and every person who called her had their hearts laden with anxiety.

After a time, Jisoo simply stopped picking up calls. She silenced her phone to vibration mode and put it in her pocket, lifting her head to look forward.

Not long after, she arrived at the organization’s general headquarters.

The main entrance was still a peaceful scene. Gao Lang and a few other security personnel were seated in the security pavilion, and seeing her walk toward them, they joyfully smiled at her till their eyes were squinting. Jisoo felt as though a huge stone was pressing onto her chest but still maintained her usual expression and smiled at them, before taking swift strides in.
