171 SEED OF NEW HOPE

Chen Linyun was in his study at their dream home. During this epoch in his life, he found living in general and going out too mundane for his liking. He made his study his new office and headquarters, only communicating with the outside world through his gadgets.

This particular sunny afternoon was no exception. He was on the phone.

"Boss." The other line greeted him.

"How's your assignment going?" Chen Linyun inquired nonchalantly.

"I've obtained several samples already. I'll catch one of the flights later to Beijing." The person from the other line reported.

"Good to hear. Come back here at the shortest time possible."

"Yes Boss."

He hung up the phone. Earlier he was seated comfortably on the leather chair behind his big wooden desk.

He stood up and allowed himself to be drenched in the afternoon sunlight that managed to enter his lonely abode from the floor-to-ceiling window of his study. The sunlight danced and glistened with the dust particles in the air.
