Chapter 9
The advertising company, like any other in the industry, is filled with OLs and young men dressed in professional attire, each one looking radiant and smiling at everyone as if they were their siblings. But heaven has given them high salaries and high education, so for them, this friendliness is just a small benefit bestowed upon those who have nothing. BB cream and foundation cover up the fatigue of working overtime, and the high year-end bonuses make up for the exhaustion of working without rest all year round. Being among these people makes you feel like the future is bathed in strong sunlight, bright, so bright that it dazzles your eyes, making it hard to see the road ahead, and all you can do is move forward.
Li Jin took a cup of coffee from the self-service machine and sat down on the grass-green rest bench in the hall. Two men beside him were arguing in low voices about something, the coffee in his cup had been cold for a long time, emitting a faint bitter aroma.
He blew on the hot coffee and glanced in the direction of the rest room.
Saying that he came out to investigate the situation, in fact, he just wanted to avoid Ruo Fei. Although it is said that rebirth is all fate, but looking at Ruo Fei being so good to himself, it still feels awkward.
After all, I'm just an imposter.
He finished the coffee in his cup slowly and deliberately, and a considerable amount of time had passed. He stood up, just about to head back to the rest room, when he heard someone calling out from behind him: "You're here! I've been looking for you guys for half a day."
He turned around and saw that it was a woman in a pale pink suit who had spoken.
"Are you busy? If not, come with me for a walk." She walked up to Li Jin's face, her eyes scanning Li Jin and then sweeping over the two people beside him.
It wasn't talking to myself after all.
Li Jin turned around and was about to leave.
"Busy, crazy busy!" one of them complained in a sorrowful voice.
"You're not busy, I know your project isn't done yet and you've been idle for the past few days." The woman said with a smile, "Come out with me to take care of something, and you'll get a bonus. Hey, don't go, let's go together!"
Li Jin had already taken a few steps when he was caught up from behind by the woman who blocked his path: "You're the new Xu Ming, right? Let's go together."
Li Jing's face was cold, just about to say you've mistaken me for someone else, when suddenly hearing the phrase "bonus discovery gold", instantly invigorated and stood up straight!
"No problem!" He took the lead.
The woman, Wu Yan, was the HR of Yingmei Advertising Company. Apart from Li Jin and three others, she also called a few male employees, and they filled up a van. In the end, there was one more person who had no seat, so Wu Yan glanced at this one and that one, then smiled sweetly at Li Jin: "You come sit in another vehicle with me."
Li Jin smiled back and extended his hand to lead the way: "Ladies first."
A bright smile illuminated Wu Yan's beautiful eyes that had seen countless beauties.
Wu Yan was in a domestically produced Buick sedan, with an experienced driver who had the air conditioning on full blast. She asked Li Jin to sit in the front passenger seat and sat in the back herself, thoughtfully placing a pillow beside her. From the rearview mirror, Li Jin saw that she was being considerate and guessed that there would probably be someone else getting in later, so he turned around and continued to flash his charming smile: "Sister Yan, where are we headed?"
Li Jincheng's eyebrows were slightly raised, and his eyelashes were thick and long. When he smiled, it was especially charming, which made Wu Yan's heart flutter. She sighed inwardly, wondering how such a handsome face wasn't hired by her own hands. On the surface, she explained: "The big boss has some private matters that need to be taken care of, so you should do more and say less for now."
Big boss? Lai Jin frowned, it's not uncommon for private entrepreneurs to ask their subordinates for help with personal matters, but Yingmei is a large company after all, and now is working hours. This boss is so unprofessional and petty, actually pulling office staff away from work, really rare.
But after all, I went there for a fight, Wu Yan said it well, doing more and saying less will never go wrong.
Li Jin had just been reborn last night, and he couldn't sleep all night. Now sitting in the car, the air conditioner blew him, and his eyelids kept fighting. He fell asleep dazedly. In his dream, he was confused, but suddenly heard a familiar voice, which made him wake up from his daze and carefully identify it.
"Long wait." The voice was accompanied by a smile, followed by some surprise, "Who is this?"
"Xu Ming." Wu Yan smiled and introduced, "Our new colleague here, couldn't fit in the other car, so I asked him to come over and sit."
Then there was a hand patting his own shoulder: "Xu Ming, wake up, this is Lin Xin, the CEO's assistant."
Li Jin suddenly woke up with a start and sat up straight, turning his head to stare at Lin Xin.
No wonder it feels familiar, Lin Xin is Li Yi Heng's assistant, and Li Yi Heng trusts her extremely, not avoiding anything in work or life. Thinking back to those years, she and Li Yi Heng were wild at the resort villa, using up all the condoms, and still Lin Xin drove alone to deliver more.
The woman rang the doorbell downstairs for a long time, but no one answered. The phone was also unreachable. She took out her spare key and entered the house, going straight to the bedroom where she placed three boxes of gifts on the bedside table, without glancing at Li Yiheng and someone else on the bed.
Since then, Li Jin deeply felt that his old face had been lost completely and he didn't dare see Lin Nu again.
It's really true that you can run into anyone anywhere in life...
Li Jin puffed out half of his face and gazed out of the window.
Outside the window, a high-rise building rises into the clouds, with four large characters arranged from top to bottom at one-third of the height - "Lingyun Building".
This is Li Yiheng's industry.
It wasn't until then that he remembered that Li had acquired all of Yingmei's shares a month before his death, becoming the sole major shareholder of Yingmei Advertising Company.
What is referred to as a big boss is not Ma Ying-jeou, but rather Li Yeh-hu.
"Hello, Sister Xin." Li Jinpi smiled insincerely and greeted Lin Xin.
Lin Xing smiled and nodded, seeming to acknowledge him, then turned around and asked Wu Yan: "How many people did you call?"
"Eight." Wu Yan said, "Is Mr. Li's side enough?"
Lin Xindao said: "That's enough, I'm troubling you all, it's really embarrassing."
She said with a tone of reluctance, but her words didn't contain even half a hint of politeness. Wu Yan naturally understood that she was being polite, and since the big boss had given face by agreeing to use them, it was also a matter of dignity. So she quickly said: "Sister Xin, don't say such things, we'd be happy to help if we can. Besides, Mr. Ke is a good friend of Mr. Li's, so helping out with his funeral is something we're willing to do."
Mr. Ke's funeral?
What does Li Yihe care about his own funeral?
Li Jin quietly straightened up, her neck slowly moving to the middle, planning to listen a bit more. But after the two of them finished speaking, it was as if they had turned the page and started discussing something unrelated. Li Jin waited for half a day without hearing any useful information, and couldn't help but turn around and ask: "Xin Jie, are we going to go help with Ke Yuan's funeral?"
Lin Xing was taken aback and nodded in response: "Yes."
"Isn't Ke Yuan Shu Mu's agent? Why are we being asked to help with his funeral?" Li Jin cut straight to the point.
There is encouragement and more!
