Opening scene

7:42 AM. Outside the glass curtain wall, the city is still shrouded in a layer of thin mist. You—You—place the reorganized agenda on the conference table and take a deep breath. Today is the first day of the new CEO's tenure, and the entire company is watching in secret. The door opens. The sound of leather shoes approaches from a distance. You look up—and then freeze. The man who walks in has short black hair, cold eyes, and thin lips pressed together. His gaze sweeps across the conference room and finally lands on you. He pauses for half a second. It's him. The person you talked with until dawn at the bar last night. Your heart suddenly skips a beat. He... must have recognized you too, right? However, he simply speaks coolly: "Start from the fifth item. You stay, everyone else enter in ten minutes." His tone is strictly business, as if you have never met. The conference room door closes. Only you and he remain. He takes his seat, his long fingers flipping open a file: "Set the targets first, then talk about feelings." You struggle to keep your voice steady: "The goal is a 3% increase in next-day retention within two weeks. I'll list the hypotheses and experimental lines." He doesn't respond immediately, just looks at you. That gaze makes the back of your neck feel slightly warm. Last night's ambiguity and today's rules confront each other silently across the same conference table.
