Chapter 401: 401 Can I ask you a favor? (3)

Chu Jin was sitting in the ninth-floor office, flipping through the project plans and recent advertising campaigns. She sat quietly at her desk, with her usual serene expression, as sunlight streamed through the window onto her, making her look peaceful and beautiful.

Qin Zhenglin was seated beside her, tapping away at his computer with a rapid-fire patter. He performed his work meticulously, seemingly unconcerned about Chu Jin finding any faults.

Chu Jin would occasionally whisper to him, pointing out some constructive suggestions, possessing the touch of adding finishing details that made everything complete.

How should one put it?

Although Chu Jin was only 18 years old, her image in his heart was towering. She didn’t come to the company often, but occasionally, she would discuss these plans with him through video and voice calls.

During company’s executive meetings, she sometimes participated through video-conferencing as well.

Apart from those employees in the cubicles who were unaware of her existence, all the other executives knew of this Miss Chu.

And no one treated her as just an eighteen-year-old girl.

She had conquered them with her capabilities.

"Jin, you truly are amazing," Qin Zhenglin said, admiringly looking at Chu Jin.

He indeed admired her greatly.

"You’re also very impressive!" Chu Jin patted him on the shoulder. "In such a short time, you’ve developed theking far beyond my expectations!"

Unlike her, Qin Zhenglin had no past-life foundation. After all, in her previous life, she had dominated the business world for more than a decade. If she had no skills, how could she have supported two conglomerates? Qin Zhenglin had no prior experience and relied entirely on talent. He had really done very well!

With the current development of theking, going international was just a matter of time.

Qin Zhenglin scratched his head in embarrassment, "Jin, don’t worry, I’ll work even harder in the future."

Chu Jin nodded, "I believe in you." She then took a document folder out of her backpack and placed it on the table. "This is the contract signed with Advance Time Technology. Tomorrow morning at 11 o’clock, take the revised engine to their company."

At her words, shock filled Qin Zhenglin’s eyes, "They signed the contract so quickly?"

Advance Time Technology was the hottest game company at the moment, unrivaled in China mainland.

Although he had been prepared for an eventual partnership between Advance Time and theking, actually having the contract signed still made Qin Zhenglin feel somewhat dazed, as if he was walking on air.

He had negotiated countless times with the person in charge of Advance Time, but he had never been able to finalize the contract. Now, in the time it took to have a sip of tea, Jin had easily secured the contract. That was the difference between people...

Compared to Qin Zhenglin’s shock, Chu Jin calmly said, "The rest is up to you. I have to leave now, but contact me if you have any issues."

"I’ll walk you out." Qin Zhenglin snapped out of his daze and hurried to follow her footsteps.

When Chu Jin arrived at Huagui Park, the night had already fallen quietly.

A white sedan, a common Volkswagen model, was parked in front of the villa. A frail-looking woman stood by the car door, dressed in a black dress that seemed ill-fitting. The wide hem hid her ankles and swayed in the night breeze, looking as if the wind could knock her over at any moment.

Her complexion was unusually pale, which, set against her dark clothing, created a stark contrast. A small white flower adorned her hair, appearing rather eerie against the night.

As Chu Jin looked at her, the woman was also looking at Chu Jin, seemingly trying to recognize something, "You... you are Master Chu?"

The woman’s voice was soft, with a slight breathlessness to it.

Seeing that the woman might recognize her, Chu Jin stepped forward, smiling politely, "Yes, it’s me. And you are?"

Upon hearing her, a glint of light flashed in the woman’s dull eyes as she clutched Chu Jin’s hand, "Master Chu, I’m Wen Ziyao. Do you remember me?"

Wen Ziyao.

The woman who kept two ghosts at the same time.

Because of a momentary foolishness, not only did she cause her best friend’s reputation to be tarnished, but she also caused her to lie dead at the bottom of a lake, unable to find peace in death.

"Miss Wen, what brings you here so late at night?" Chu Jin had no particular fondness for Wen Ziyao, so her tone was somewhat cold.

Wen Ziyao looked at her and said, "Master Chu, I came to bid you farewell today. I’ve been dealing with some personal matters these days, which is why I haven’t come to see you. I’m leaving for L Country soon and I might never return."

"I wish you a smooth journey," responded Chu Jin indifferently.

Wen Ziyao continued, "Master Chu, I’ve called off the wedding with my senior. I’ve told him all about what happened back then, and I’ve dissolved the companies under my name, donating the remaining funds to some disaster areas and the Hope Project."

Chu Jin nodded slightly, "To recognize one’s mistakes and correct them is the greatest virtue. I hope that on the road ahead, you continue to hold yourself to strict standards and find a new beginning, a fresh start."

"Thank you, Master Chu," Wen Ziyao slightly bowed to Chu Jin.

With an indifferent tone, Chu Jin said, "You’re welcome. The person you should really thank is Lin Xiaoman. If she hadn’t been so forgiving, I wouldn’t have saved you."

Lin Xiaoman was a kind-hearted girl; despite facing many unfair treatments, she still chose to let go.

Wen Ziyao sniffled, her voice choked, "Master Chu, before I leave, may I ask you for a favor?"
