Chapter 21 – Good News

At the end of the day, Yan Lin called to pick her up.

They still did not have a ring since they got married. So as they were waiting to meet some friends for dinner, they went to pick up their custom-made rings on the way.

Their rings did not have a flashy design, nor did it have any inlaid diamonds.

They were just very simple platinum rings, but Yan Lin asked the worker to engrave their initials on the inside of the ring.

Zu Jin did not typically wear accessories. Sometimes in the morning when she had time, she would wear an earring or necklace, but something like a watch bracelet was cumbersome to her.

Now that she was wearing the ring, she felt that it was just right, like finding the missing ring that was supposed to be on her finger.

“Hmm, not bad,” she praised as she looked at her long fingers. ↤↤↤↤↤ Please read at foxaholic.com ↦↦↦↦↦

However, it might be that she usually had an indifferent expression that the jewelry store owner and the ring designer were unexpectedly nervous.

Yan Lin knew her personality, so he smiled at the two men opposite of them.

“There is no need to modify it. Thank you, we like it a lot.”

After finishing up with the rings and getting in the car, Yan Lin did not move to start the car.

“Heng Li, Chai Jun, and several members of your board of directors have poached a person from the South Jiafu Group. They should be ready to start acting against you, and Ji Desheng has recently begun the immigration process, so you should be mentally prepared.”

Yan Lin and Qiyu Corporation had an investment project together, which had begun to enter the development stage.

So Zu Jin was not surprised that he knew these top-level Qiyu issues like the back of his hand.

“They poached him to take my place. I heard it from my friend last night.”

As for Ji Desheng…

He was going to emigrate, which meant that he was going to quit the board of directors and leave this dispute.

It was, after all, Ji Shiyu who did these things that forced him to fall. He was also old, so he had no intention to continue fighting. This was to be expected.

He saw that she only said a few words and did not keep talking.

Yan Lin had to continue, “If Ji Desheng really leaves, then it will be easy for the board of directors to remove you from office. What are your next plans?”

Zu Jin gave him a blank smile.

“I naturally want to stay there. I ask myself whether I have made less contributions to the development of Qiyu than others over the years, but no matter how hard I have tried, there is still no room for me because of the board of directors’ rights and interests.”

Yan Lin took her hand and squeezed it. “You still put too much focus on feelings. When Ji Desheng pushed you into office, you should have taken advantage of the opportunity to fight for more shares, otherwise you wouldn’t be as passive as you are now.”

“I didn’t speak out.”

Zu Jin turned to look at him and mocked herself, “He was like a father who inspired and helped me back then. If someone tried to manipulate me, he would be angrier than me once he knew, especially during the year I took office. That year happened to be my 30th birthday. My mother didn’t even remember, but he called me and said that he had ordered a birthday cake for me. He asked me to go to his house for my birthday. So regarding the matter about fighting for shares…”

Yan Lin rushed in to interrupt her without any warning.

His large hand was on the back of her neck, it was not light or heavy. It was like she had fallen, so he picked her up and gave her the perfect amount of support to show that she had strength.

“Now is not the time for you to think about the past, do you understand?”

Zu Jin looked at the man in front of her and realized that Yan Lin was completely different right now.

It was getting a little strange.

“Ji Desheng may be leaving the country just to fake an attack in order to retreat. When he is gone, you will be at the mercy of the board of directors. He is threatening you! You should not care too much about this. What you need to do now is collect information on the members of the board who are against you, especially any evidence of them harming Qiyu Corporation’s interest. This will become your weapon. As long as you do these things well, they will not dare to touch you again. If you are firmly in this position, Ji Desheng will not dare to shed any cordial pretenses with you. Like this, you will have more opportunities to get your shares back from him in the future.”

Zu Jin was silent for a few seconds. “I know. I’m already doing it.”

The man’s dark eyes finally regained his smile. “Good. It was a part of our prenuptial agreement, you can’t be discouraged so soon.”

“…the way you actually invest in business is much dirtier than this, isn’t it?”

Yan Lin did not answer her question, but smiled and started the car.

After the car was on the road for a few minutes, Yan Lin suddenly opened his mouth to say something.

Zu Jin looked out of the window and gave an understanding giggle. “I know! If I need your help, then I will definitely say it. I’m not that stubborn!”

The next morning, Zu Jin did not go to Qiyu.

Instead, she went outside to meet the project partners she had an appointment with yesterday.

After the meeting, Zu Jin did not leave the meeting area. She immediately went to the next room to meet with more people.

When she came out, the sun was shining fiercely in the sky. She felt dizzy after a few steps.

She drove back to Qiyu, and Xia Tong was surprised when she saw her.

“President Jin, why do you look a little pale? Did you have breakfast?”

Zu Jin touched her cheek. “I did.”

After sitting down in the office, Xia Tong brought her a cup of hot water.

“Why don’t you lie down and take a break for a while. I’m a little worried about you.”

“No, go out.”

She still had a pile of official business to deal with, so she didn’t have time to rest.

At noon, Xia Tong went to deliver the usual ordered food.

However, after she knocked for a while, there was no sound inside. She pushed open the door and took a look.

As soon as she did, Xia Tong cried out in horror and trembled.

She saw Zu Jin lying on her desk, motionless, like she had fainted.

Xia Tong rushed in, and she touched Zu Jin’s back.

She anxiously shouted, “President Jin? Jin Jie? Aiya!”

She was in such a panic that she was about to call an ambulance with her cell phone, but Zu Jin woke up with a murmur.

She raised her head, and her lips were paler than usual. She could not even hide it with her makeup.

“Don’t call.”

Xia Tong bent down and looked at her with concern. “Jin Jie, you have to go to the hospital!”

“No, where’s my phone?” ↤↤↤↤↤ Please read at foxaholic.com ↦↦↦↦↦

Xia Tong had no other option but to take her cell phone out of her bag.

When Xia Tong handed over her cell phone, she touched her cold fingers and trembled again.

Zu Jin frowned. At this moment, she didn’t have the energy to avoid Xia Tong.

She scrolled to Yan Lin’s number and called it.

“I’m not feeling well. Please come and pick me up.”

Xia Tong saw the number that Zu Jin called and on there was the word “husband”.

The young secretary, who had already broken from character, instantly became even more confused.

Yan Lin came quickly and arrived in less than half an hour.

Xia Tong did not disturb other employees working outside because of Zu Jin’s orders.

Yan Lin was led in by Xia Tong and he went straight into the president’s office.

Thus, Xia Tong watched this stranger, who looked a little familiar, go in and help her boss up. He wrapped his arms around her boss’s waist like it was natural and carried her away.

Before they left, the strange man unexpectedly gave her a brief explanation.

“She should have my business card in her bag. Just call me if you need anything today.”

Xia Tong was intimidated by his imposing and cold aura. She nodded in a daze, and then watched them leave.

She stood at the entrance of the elevator in shock for more than a minute.

Xia Tong suddenly reacted.

She had seen this man before. He was greeted by the chairman himself the last time he came to Qiyu.

No wonder she thought he looked familiar.

Wait a moment, Zu Jin’s boyfriend, ah! No, her husband!

Turns out he’s the big boss of Chloe Investments!

Momma! Why does President Jin always keep such awesome news from me?!
