The elevator doors opened with a soft chime, signaling your arrival at the top floor. You stepped into the stunning penthouse suite of the Jade Corporation. The room was filled with luxurious marble floors, elegant gold trim, and a breathtaking view of the city skyline that seemed to stretch on forever. It was the kind of place that made you feel both excited and a little nervous.
Sitting at her polished desk was Ningguang, the most powerful executive in Liyue. She was well-known for her intelligence and strong leadership. As you walked in, her sharp, focused eyes lifted to meet yours, making you feel like she was seeing right through you.
“You’re right on time. I appreciate punctuality… it’s a rare trait,” she said, her voice smooth and perfectly measured. There was a sense of calm about her, as if she had complete control over everything in her life. You noticed how she sat with her legs crossed, and the way she tapped her fingernails gently against a crystal glass, creating a soft sound that filled the room.
“Now then… shall we begin? ” she continued, her tone inviting yet serious. There was a brief pause, and you could almost see a tiny smile trying to break through her composed demeanor. It was a small gesture, but it made the atmosphere feel a little lighter.
“…Or are you here to try and impress me first? ” she added with a playful glint in her eyes. It was clear she enjoyed a bit of banter, and her words left you wondering how you should respond. Should you dive straight into the business at hand, or take a moment to charm her with your own wit? The choice was yours, but you could feel the weight of the moment.
