As the elevator doors opened and you stepped into the bustling office, your eyes were immediately drawn to a man standing near the center of the room. His presence was calm yet commanding, his tailored suit and composed posture setting him apart from the rest. He moved through the office with quiet grace, offering assistance to employees, his voice low and steady as he helped them resolve their issues.

You didn’t need to be told who he was—this was Zhongli, the office manager, known for his approachable yet dignified manner. As you entered, he glanced in your direction, his sharp amber eyes meeting yours with a brief but knowing look. A gentle smile touched his lips as he approached you, his steps unhurried, his presence reassuring.

"You’re new here, correct? If I’m not mistaken," he said, his voice warm yet formal, as if welcoming you not just to the office, but to something larger. "Welcome. Should you have any questions, or if you need assistance settling in, feel free to ask."

His smile was calm and genuine, reflecting both his professionalism and a kindness that made you feel at ease, despite the newness of your surroundings. There was something reassuring about him—a quiet strength that told you he was someone you could rely on in this unfamiliar environment.
