106: Who exactly lives upstairs?

Half past ten at night.

The call was finally connected.

Lei Jun instantly held his breath, his heart pounding wildly, even forgetting how to speak.

He took several deep breaths before barely managing to steady his voice.

"Director Lei... you finally answered the phone!"

"I know I was wrong, I truly know I was wrong!"

"I was foolish this morning, I shouldn't have indulged Wang Dongsheng, and I shouldn't have doubted you. Please be magnanimous and forgive me this one time!"

Afraid that Lei Jun would hang up, he continued speaking rapidly.

"I have already handed Wang Dongsheng over to the Legal Department; he will definitely be dealt with severely, without leniency!"

"From now on, I will ensure that Miss Lei Cai is fully responsible for the company's finances, and I will absolutely not interfere!"

"If you have any other requests, as long as I can fulfill them, I promise I will."

Lei Jun listened to Lei Jun's almost fawning apology on the other end of the phone and got goosebumps.

Tsk, that's truly sickeningly sweet.

She suddenly thought of the mission.

[godly tycoon mission: Make Lei Jun, Chairman of the Dami Group, submit to you. Mission Reward: 10,000 godly tycoon coins.]

Hmm, this might be an opportunity to complete the mission.

Therefore, she interrupted Lei Jun's ceaseless repentance.

"Chairman Lei, merely apologizing verbally doesn't seem very sincere."

Lei Jun: "Director Lei, just say the word! Anything to appease your anger!"

Lei Jun said slowly.

"You want me to accept your apology?"

"Unless... you come downstairs to my house and loudly sing 'conquer' ten times."

Hearing Lei Jun's request, Lei Jun's mind instantly went blank.

Sing... sing 'conquer'?

And sing it ten times downstairs from her house?

This... But after only a second of hesitation, the fear of the power behind Lei Jun overwhelmed everything else.

What is face worth?

Saving the company and his future is what matters most!

He responded almost immediately.

"No problem, Director Lei, I'll head over right now. I guarantee I'll sing it ten times, rest assured!"

On this end of the phone, Lei Jun was momentarily stunned to hear him agree so readily.

She hadn't expected Lei Jun to actually agree.

This surprised her, and she even wondered if Lei Jun was joking.

However, she didn't dwell on it. Since the words were already spoken, whether Lei Jun came or followed through was up to him.

So, Lei Jun simply said a faint "Mm," and hung up the phone... The next day, morning.

Lei Jun ran against the morning breeze; her breathing became smoother, and her legs didn't feel as heavy.

She could even feel a sense of rhythm.

It seemed... she was starting to understand people who loved running.

She found that she had begun to get used to and enjoy this way of waking up her body in the morning.

After the morning run, she returned home and showered. Lei Jun felt refreshed all over.

Today was Sunday, and Lei Cai didn't have to go to the company, so there were exactly four people at home.

Lei Jun pulled Lei Ying, Lei Yue, and Lei Cai to play games together, forming a four-person squad.

Lei Ying's gaming skills were excellent; she was definitely the MVP.

With her there, Lei Jun played exceptionally easily, able to lie down and win without putting in much effort.

She went on a winning streak, enjoying the effortless victory immensely.

Watching her rank continuously rise.

Unconsciously, they played the game from morning until eight in the evening.

Lei Jun felt delighted looking at her continuously rising rank.

Awesome!

Having Lei Ying around really makes a difference!

She put down her phone as her stomach rumbled, realizing it was time to eat.

Just as she was about to suggest going out to find a good restaurant, her phone suddenly rang. The caller ID showed Lei Jun.

Lei Jun answered the phone, feeling puzzled.

Why was Lei Jun calling at this hour?

On the other end of the line, Lei Jun's voice carried a hint of nervousness and respect: "Director Lei, I've arrived downstairs at your home. I'm going to start singing 'conquer' now, is that alright?"

Hearing this, Lei Jun was completely stunned.

She hadn't expected Lei Jun to actually show up!

She walked to the window, pushed it open, and looked down.

She saw Lei Jun, dressed in formal attire, standing in the open area downstairs, holding his phone and seemingly psyching himself up.

When he saw Lei Jun open the window, his eyes lit up. He took a deep breath and then began to sing: "Just like this, conquered by you~ cutting off all paths of retreat~ My mood is resolute~ My decision is confused~ Just like this, conquered by you~~~"

The passersby downstairs stared at Lei Jun dumbfounded.

"Who is that? Why is he singing here? And singing 'conquer'?"

"I don't know, he's dressed quite formally, doesn't look like a street performer."

"Hahaha, he must be drunk, right? He's singing quite passionately!"

"Is he crazy? The singing is terrible, and he's disturbing the peace in a public area!"

"Haha, interesting! I'm going to record this!"

"This person looks a bit familiar, I think I've seen him somewhere..."

"Forget whether he's familiar or not, let's just watch the show. Maybe something exciting will happen."

Not far from Lei Jun stood several men in suits; they were the other Board Members of the Dami Group.

After the meeting yesterday, they had been worried that Director Lei wouldn't forgive them. When they learned that the Chairman was coming to apologize to Director Lei, they quickly followed, hoping to beg for Director Lei's forgiveness together.

Seeing Lei Jun singing downstairs, the Board Members were stunned.

They hadn't expected that Lei Jun, just to gain Lei Jun's forgiveness, would put aside his status as Chairman and sing 'conquer' in public.

After their initial surprise, they started whispering among themselves.

Lei Jun couldn't help but laugh watching the incredible scene downstairs.

He really is singing... Well, since he started, he might as well sing it ten times.

She folded her arms, leaned against the window, and quietly enjoyed the spectacle.

Under the gaze of numerous passersby and phone cameras, Lei Jun's face was burning hot.

He had never been so humiliated in his life!

He felt like his decades of reputation had been completely ruined.

But... to gain forgiveness, he had to endure it!

He forced himself to finish the first rendition, secretly glancing up at Lei Jun in the window, finding that she showed no reaction.

His heart sank.

One time wasn't enough... He sighed inwardly, suppressed the urge to crawl into a hole, and continued straining his voice for the second and third times... The other Board Members exchanged glances, communicating through their eyes.

Chairman Lei also came to beg Director Lei Jun for forgiveness, so there must be a reason for him doing this.

Therefore, steeling their hearts, they also joined Lei Jun, singing 'conquer' unevenly.

The passersby downstairs were even more astonished by this scene, and the murmurs grew louder.

"Hey, look at the one leading them, doesn't he look familiar? He looks like Lei Jun from Xiaomi Corporation!"

"My Heavens, it really is him—the Chairman of the Dami Group!"

"Those few behind him... they seem to be Board Members of Xiaomi too!"

"What is going on? The entire Dami Group Board of Directors is collectively singing 'conquer' downstairs in a residential building?"

"Big news, this is absolutely huge news!"

"Who exactly lives upstairs? To be able to make Lei Jun and so many Board Members sing and apologize together, their background must be terrifying!"

"Regardless of the situation, let's take a picture for posterity. This is a rare sight!"
