Marriage is too late

Chapter 17

In such a quiet night, under a row of soft lights in Nakajima, Lin Xuxing looked at her with anticipation. He expressed his expectation in a joking tone, so that he could hide his expectation.

Ji Jin lowered his head and was cleaning the table. He didn't notice Lin Xuxing's serious eyes at all, but just smiled casually: "Of course, if I had known that a late-night snack could be exchanged for this kind of dry teaching on cases, I would queue up every day." Make you supper. When you say you want to eat, I will get up at three o'clock in the middle of the night and make it for you."

Lin Xuxing muttered, "What if you don't teach anything?"

"What?" Ji Jin looked up, but couldn't hear what Lin Xuxing said.

Lin Xuxing shook his head gently: "Let's put it down, go to bed early, good night." He took over the rest of the work from Ji Jin's hands involuntarily, and brushed the back of her hand with his fingertips, and Ji Jin unconsciously let go.

"Then, good night." Ji Jin thought for a while and choked out a good night.

Actually, I also want to ask you if you are doing well, but I can’t ask. In fact, I also want to know that I am struggling here, and it is because this is the action of the Lin family against you. The startup company and I are just an innocent Chi Yu, so what are you facing when you are facing the battle between the Lin family on the frontal battlefield?However, Ji Jin would not ask these words.

She honestly kept her duty, didn't ask too much, didn't think too much, and just concentrated on doing what she was supposed to do in the agreement, that was enough.Everyone passed the three years of cooperation peacefully, each took what he needed, and went his own way.

Ji Jin began to face the first opportunity of her career, and it was also the first challenge. It is certainly a good opportunity to sort out her work ability and prestige if she can solve this supplier crisis well, but at the same time, if she does not meet the schedule The delivery of the work, which caused the delay of the project, was also a fierce slap in the face.

Under the guidance of Lin Xuxing, she started working overtime day and night, negotiating with new suppliers, making door-to-door visits, fully understanding and going deep into each team of the project, controlling progress, supervising the integration of resources, and solving problems. She was as busy as a spinning top.

Fortunately, Yao Qianqian, who has a mediocre relationship on weekdays, actually helped a lot this time, recommending several reliable suppliers. Ji Jin went to the interview in person and initially agreed on a cooperation intention. Although the construction period was rushed, it was not impossible to complete the task. .

Ji Jin breathed a sigh of relief.

However, she didn't intend to waste the resources that Lin Xuxing gave her. She secretly asked Tang Yang to be in charge of contacting.

When Ji Jin worked overtime every day, he took turns to invite various professional departments to eat supper. For the people of Tianchao, the dinner table is undoubtedly a relatively personal occasion that can draw in relationships.Ji Jin was originally gentle and low-key, but now she has no flaws in her favorability. Those original resistances and wait-and-sees gradually disappeared in her strong execution and gentle smile.Those scattered gossips gradually disappeared in her calm and quiet cooperation.

This busy, is a month and a half.

Except for seeing the breakfast on the island in the restaurant every morning, Lin Xuxing hardly felt Ji Jin's existence.She hadn't taken a vacation for a whole month and a half. She left early and returned late every day. Lin Xuxing gnawed on today's fried dough sticks and couldn't help frowning. It's good for a newcomer to work hard like this, but this rhythm is not suitable for a protracted battle. You must know that the workplace is a battle. In a marathon, if you run at the speed of a [-]-meter race at the beginning, you will soon exhaust all your energy and have no choice but to quit the race.

Lin Xuxing originally wanted to find a time to talk to Ji Jin about this matter, but he did not expect to meet his "bride" at a completely unexpected time and place.

That day, Lin Xuxing drove tens of kilometers to a private party of a business partner, which was held in the suburban mansion of the Feng family. He had been away from such occasions for many years, and now he had to re-enter that glitzy place in order to re-enter the Lin family. circles.

He drives a fancy sports car, which makes people very helpless, Lin Xuxing is no longer that Lin Xuxing, he needs cool luxury cars and lively parties to attract others' attention.He has grown up, but this circle has not, and just returning to this circle, it is not a wise choice to play the game without the rules they are used to.

Lin Xuxing was very sensible, so Lin Xuxing drove a single-seater convertible sports car with a bright yellow interior, with an aura of wanting to make people hate the rich, and roared by.

Party is very boring, common extravagance and materialism.The music was deafening. Just in the evening, Lin Xuxing had already started to feel a headache.

"Don't be so stern, brother." Fang Yan leaned over and winked at him. Fang Yan is the second son of the Fang family. He originally studied art, but changed his major to management for the sake of the family. After a few years, it went smoothly. He is also a well-known player in City C, and he was an old acquaintance with Lin Xuxing in the early years, "Since you came here today, I have never seen you play comfortably."

Lin Xuxing was holding a glass of wine, and he hadn't finished it since he entered the door. He liked to stay sober when talking about things: "I'm not as comfortable as you." Lin Xuxing smiled lightly, and played Tai Chi with him.

Dialect smiled: "I don't know you yet, you must be here today for the new investment department you want to set up, right? Don't you just want to talk to the boss of the Feng family about this matter? He won't be here until nine o'clock. Appear, how long do you have to be tense before counting?"

"Cheers." Lin Xuxing touched the cup in Fang Yan's hand, and drank it in one gulp. Fang Yan talked a lot as usual, just wanting to pour him two glasses of wine.

Dialect drank with a hippie smile, and the chatterbox couldn't be closed when it opened: "Arrogance! It's still the same as before! You are worthy of my Brother Axing. But speaking of Brother Axing, haven't you been free these few years? Why did you come back to disturb your family again? That muddy water?"

Lin Xuxing looked at Fang Yan's smiling face, and suddenly understood the concern hidden in the deepest part of his eyes, and his heart warmed up. The boy who followed him back then to play with him has grown up now , Knowing that he cares about others, he is still indifferent: "The reason is the same as yours."

Dialect's expression froze, he hesitated to speak, and finally just sighed.He paused, and slapped his thigh: "Don't say that, anyway, I'm a soft-spoken brother, so just speak up if you can use me." He turned his eyes and leaned closer to Lin Xuxing's ear, "Even if I didn't talk to the boss of the Feng family today. After the negotiation, isn’t it just a foundation? There are many channels where I am interested in investing, and I will also join in when the time comes, so that everyone can earn money together and bear risks together.”

Lin Xuxing was certain that this was the key point. In business and business, although dialect sold a hand of warmth first, the care was real and the investment was real. If they could cooperate, why not do it, so He nodded: "You can also join in if the negotiation is completed, and we can discuss any suitable projects." In one sentence, the cooperation intention was finalized.

Only then did Dialect regain his hippie smile: "Okay, sure enough, brother A Xing is so righteous! Let the people under his command discuss it in detail some other day."

This is the charm of this type of gathering. Those cooperations that require repeated efforts and countless rounds of fighting are often just a few simple conversations among the top people who have resources and connections.It seems simple, but in fact the accumulation of contacts may even reach decades.This is also the reason why Lin Xuxing chose to attend this private party today. On the surface it looked like a simple party, but in fact it was an olive branch extended to Lin Xuxing by today's host Feng's family.

But whether Lin Xuxing can get some other gains from this party by the way depends on luck and connections over the years.

Dialect was determined, pointing to the lawn area in front of Feng's mansion in the suburbs: "Would you like to take a walk? I think you feel aggrieved sitting here."

"Alright, go and play with yours. I think the beauty who came with you on the sofa over there is getting impatient. God knows how many times she has glared at me." Lin Xuxing did have a headache from the noise, he smiled After joking with the dialect for a few words, he said goodbye to him, and Shi Shi ran out of the room with a glass of wine in hand, and went to sit in the small garden next to the foyer for a while.

There is a rose trail from the small garden to the glass conservatory. In early winter, there are no roses blooming, only the deserted white lights along the road illuminate the dark green flowers. Lin Xuxing walks casually, and his shoes make a crushing sound on the stone trail. , there is an empty echo, and there is a sense of depression and independence.

Lin Xuxing lowered his head and thought about the direction of tonight's cooperation. How can he impress the Feng family, a powerful figure in the old capital empire?He is smug and full of thoughts.

"Wow--" A black shadow suddenly rushed out of the rose bushes in front of Lin Xuxing's right, only one step away from Lin Xuxing.

"Who!" Lin Xuxing shouted sharply.

"Help——" the black shadow made a hoarse voice, staggered towards Lin Xu, and finally fell into Lin Xuxing's arms, exhausted.

Under the dim white light, Lin Xuxing recognized this familiar figure, Ji Jin.

Isn't it a dream?Is it physically exhausted to the limit, so you see warm and familiar things?Ji Jin tried hard to open his eyes, thinking vaguely.It seems that the person in front of him is really Lin Xuxing?
"Ji Jin? Ji Jin!" Lin Xuxing suppressed his surprise and tried to call her twice, but there was no response.He made a decisive decision and called Fang Yan to ask him to bring Feng's housekeeper out to help.

Afterwards, he began to check Ji Jin, not knowing if there was any trauma, he did not dare to move her easily.After a simple inspection, Ji Jin's leg seemed to have been traumatized, and it was simply treated with a branch as a splint. It didn't look good, and there was a possibility of an open fracture.

Ji Jin's face was pale, he was wearing a jacket with scratches and fine wounds all over it, his hair was disheveled, and his hands and feet were cold. Lin Xuxing first took off his clothes and wrapped them up for her.

Fang Yan brought the members of the Feng family to appear on the trail.

"What's the matter?" Fang Yan asked in surprise.

"Save people first." Lin Xuxing's voice trembled.
