After eating and drinking, the waiter came over, this time Zu Jin gave Yan Lin the chance to pay the bill.
After paying the bill, the two walked out of the noodle shop together, and Zujin stopped to ask him when the next official date was going to be.
But Yan Lin said: "Why did you stop, let's go?"
Zu Jin looked up at him, and now that they were standing together, she realized that Yan Lin was actually much taller than she imagined.
She herself is actually not short, she is over 1.7 meters tall, but standing in front of Yan Lin, she only reaches his chin.
"Are you coming with me?"
Yan Lin smiled and nodded: "By the way, I'm going to meet with you Mr. Ji in the afternoon to talk about project cooperation."
Zujin was stunned for a moment: "Is it the research and development project of the No. 09 wing?"
The two turned around and crossed the road, walking towards the Qiyu Group Building.
"Yes, if the R&D team can, I will invest."
Zujin was silent for a moment: "Don't..."
Unexpectedly, before she finished speaking, Yan Lin stretched out his arms and patted her shoulder, interrupting her words.
But soon, he put his arm down again.
"I won't mix work and love, don't worry."
Hearing what he said, Zujin finally felt a lot relieved.
"Well, I think... including the matter of the two of us, it's best not to tell Mr. Ji at the moment, I don't want him to know about it."
Yan Lin turned to look at her delicate face with light makeup, and asked softly, "Why?"
Zujin thought for a while and replied: "It's not too late to tell him after the cooperation is over. After all, I am the president of Qiyu and his subordinate. I don't want him to be overwhelmed."
"Understood, but in fact, I am not familiar with you Mr. Ji. I met today because I am interested in fine industry production recently. Then a friend introduced him to me. If he sees anything about our affairs , I'll explain it to you."
Zu Jin didn't expect Yan Lin to be so careful, and he could see all his thoughts.
"Thank you."
A few steps away is the group building, Yan Lin lowered his voice a bit, and whispered in a teasing tone: "There is no need to be so polite between us."
However, Zu Jin was so forthright that he replied without thinking in front of him.
"Respect each other as guests, don't you understand this word?"
Seeing Zujin approaching, several employees downstairs in the building stood up straighter.
Yan Lin didn't reply, and he didn't make a sound until he entered the elevator.
But as soon as he opened his mouth, Zujin immediately stopped him with a red face.
"Shut up!"
Yan Lin stood a little back, put his hands in his trouser pockets, and closed his mouth wisely again.
Through the billboard on the elevator wall, Zu Jinhong realized with his ears that Yan Lin was actually not as serious as he appeared on the surface.
But, this kind of banter between lovers, Zujin thinks he quite likes it.
If it's embarrassing, just embarrass it, anyway, only her boyfriend knows about it.
Taking the elevator to the top floor, Zujin saw Ji Desheng waiting in front of the French windows not far away before taking two steps after the elevator door opened.
Seeing them coming out, Ji Desheng immediately greeted them with a smile.
After he greeted Yan Lin enthusiastically and shook hands, he looked at Zu Jin.
"Hey, Xiao Jin, why did you come up with Mr. Yan?"
Zu Jin smiled and replied: "I happened to meet Mr. Yan downstairs in the group, because we met once before. I didn't expect him to be the Mr. Yan you mentioned. This is too coincidental."
"Really, have you guys met before?"
With that said, Ji Desheng made a gesture of invitation to Yan Lin, and the group walked towards the conference room.
In a few words, Zu Jin talked about the chance meeting at the Chamber of Commerce charity dinner that day, but after the dinner, she deliberately went to take Yan Lin's car for private affairs, so she naturally concealed the past.
After hearing this, Ji Desheng laughed twice: "It seems that Mr. Yan and our Qiyu Group still hit it off."
Yan Lin also responded with a light smile: "Perhaps our cooperation this time is almost inseparable, Mr. Ji, let's start quickly?"
Ji Desheng is in his early 60s this year, his face looks radiant and well maintained.
Usually when Zujin attended some important occasions with him, or met some important figures, Ji Desheng was always as enthusiastic as he is now.
But like Yan Lin, who reached the peak of status before the age of forty, and holds the right to invest in Locke, who is almost unparalleled, if Yan Lin was not interested, Ji Desheng would basically never come into contact with him in his life of.
Seeing his behavior in the face of Yan Lin, Zu Jin secretly drummed in his heart.
If it wasn't for Ji Desheng's attention and support back then, it would be impossible for her to take the position of president.
This is the kindness of knowing you. In Zujin's heart, Ji Desheng is the only person she respects the most.
However, she is no longer the simple and ignorant newcomer she was more than ten years ago.
She now understands very well that the most important thing between her and Ji Desheng is reciprocity of interests, and then the so-called kindness.
After so many years, she knows Ji Desheng too well.
Looking at Ji Desheng's tactful and thoughtful behavior towards Yan Lin on the surface, but in fact he was more cautious and flattered.
She felt very uncomfortable.
She understood that once Ji Desheng knew that she was with Yan Lin, she could guess what he would ask of her.
After all, he had advised her so clearly for business before.
Although she didn't follow through.
Since this research and development project was fully planned and implemented by Zujin from the very beginning, the prerequisite preparations are already very mature.
After Zu Jin gave Yan Lin a detailed introduction to the project, the subsequent investments, and the return on income, they stayed in the conference room for less than two hours, and Yan Lin actually made a decision to cooperate.
Ji Desheng stood up happily, and held Yan Lin's hand for a long time before letting go.
Then the group signed several cooperation agreements first. Although there are still several important contracts to be signed in the future, since Yan Lin has expressed his attitude, it means that they have been able to announce to the outside world that the cooperation between them has officially started up.
This project is related to Qiyu Group's attitude towards high-tech industries in the future. Once it is developed, Qiyu will follow more than one step.
Zu Jin was naturally very happy, but after everyone signed the agreement, Yan Lin didn't stay long and left soon.
But this is also in line with his legendary vigorous and low-key style.
After Yan Lin left, Ji Desheng called her to the office.
"The people on the board of directors can finally shut up this time. They will never say anything against you again, Xiao Jin, you have not let me down."
Zujin sat on the sofa, making tea for him obediently, no matter what the other party said, she just listened obediently.
Then, just as she expected, Ji Desheng suddenly changed the topic.
"Xiaojin, I have a question for you, you can't hide it from me."
Zujin smiled: "Mr. Ji, tell me."
"Do you like Yan Lin?"
"..."
Ji Desheng is an old fox, it seems that he can't hide anything from him.
Zu Jin looked down at the coffee table, pursed his lips and nodded.
"Um."
Ji Desheng clapped his hands: "That's great, he is such a powerful man, if he can be with him, people outside may envy us Qiyu, and I heard that he is still single now, and you are currently working together , the age is also suitable, then take this opportunity to get in touch with him more, if you feel embarrassed, I can help you match up, pass a message or something."
Zujin was about to break out in a cold sweat when he heard it: "No need, this is inappropriate!"
"Hi! Don't feel embarrassed. Besides, you are so good-looking and capable. Who mentioned you as a beauty? So don't worry about whether you are worthy or not. If you are together, I will recognize you as mine My goddaughter, I will give you some more shares as a dowry, and from now on, Qiyu Group and Ke Luo will be in-laws, hahaha!"
Zujin was really impatient when she heard that, she tried her best to maintain the expression on her face, brewed tea and poured it for Ji Desheng.
Then he stood up: "Mr. Ji, I still have a lot of things waiting for me. If you have nothing else to do, I'll go back first."
"Huh? You girl..."
Zujin has been preparing for this project for more than a year.
But when she returned to her office, she had completely lost the sense of accomplishment and excitement that the project could finally start.
Ji Desheng's undisguised attitude of asking her to pursue Yan Lin for the sake of profit was like cold water being poured on a pot of burning hot coals.
Not only did she feel cold all over, but all her hard work and dedication were also wiped out.
But the boss treats the employees with profit as the starting point. If she can lead Qiyu to develop better, she can get more honors and generous rewards.
She shouldn't be like this.
After working overtime in the evening, it was very late again.
Zu Jin got in the car and turned on his cell phone, only to find that Yan Lin didn't call her, but sent her two text messages.
The first one is: Mr. Ji seems to see it.
The second is: Have you not left work yet
She looked back and forth for half a minute before dialing the phone.
"Are you done?"
"I'm done. I'm going home by car now. Can you come out tomorrow?"
The other side smiled: "Okay, I have much more time than you, so I'll make an appointment tomorrow, and we'll talk about it when we meet."
After hanging up the phone, Zujin collapsed on the car seat wearily.
In fact, if there was no one else in the car, she wanted to chat with Yan Lin.
But with someone around, she couldn't relax, so she gave up anyway.
Xia Tong, who was sitting next to her with her head down, was playing with her mobile phone. Seeing her sigh slightly, she asked aloud, "Sister Jin, the project has finally started. Do you want everyone to rest tomorrow?"
Zujin turned his face instantly: "Who wants to rest?"
Xia Tong was taken aback, and quickly waved his hands: "No, I just said it casually, so what, were you on the phone with that person just now, the one you want to chase?"
Only then did Zujin smile: "That's right."
"Have you caught up? Who is it!?"
"can not say."
Xia Tong suddenly let out a strange cry, and complained: "Why are you like this!"
"What is your ghost's name? When I can tell you, I will naturally tell you."
"Then you have to promise, the whole group will be the first to let me know!"
Zujin said in a faint voice, "Okay, you can exchange it with your year-end bonus."
Xia Tong ground her teeth, but suddenly smiled again after a few seconds.
"If you want to deduct it, you can deduct it. If you deduct it, I will go to your husband. I want him to seal me a huge red envelope, and reward me, the little secretary who is bullied every day in your hands!"
Zujin laughed so hard that he even curled up.
"Yes, he will definitely agree."
"Huh, really? Then he's very generous!" Xia Tong's eyes flashed the shiny golden symbols of gold coins.
