Chapter 920: Extra 364 No.9: Big Boss’ Friend, The Mysterious Woman Yang Lin (Part 2) Chapter 920: Extra 364 No.9: Big Boss’ Friend, The Mysterious Woman Yang Lin (Part 2) Jingjing Biotechnology Co., Ltd.
Yang Lin stood opposite the company, watching a bus drive away.
She made a phone call.
“Xiaolin, I still have work unfinished, so I can’t go have dinner with you today. Wish your friend a happy birthday.” On the other end of the line, Yong Shu apologized.
Yang Lin’s voice was calm, “Alright.”
She hung up the phone and opened Yong Shu’s WeChat on her cell phone.
Yang Lin usually disliked messaging on WeChat and making phone calls. At four o’clock, she had asked him what time he would get off work; he did not reply, so she had called Yong Shu.
She put away her phone.
In front of her, a fiery red sports car stopped, and the man driving took off his sunglasses and looked at her with raised eyebrows, “Are you really here? Get in, Alian has asked me to pick you up.”
It was Xu Nanjing.
When Yang Lin heard it was about Bai Lian, she didn’t bother with formalities and sat in the passenger seat.
Xu Nanjing waited for her to buckle up before slowly driving. He asked, “Didn’t you say your good friend was coming today too?”
“He has to work overtime.” Yang Lin replied succinctly, her hair fluttering in the breeze.
Neither spoke after that.
Xu Nanjing didn’t say much either, only changed through a few guzheng tracks on the sound system.
Yang Lin’s phone lit up a few times. It was Alice from Jingjing Biotechnology’s team–
[Yang Lin, be careful, I just saw Yong Shu and Yao Xintian working overtime together.]
Yang Lin had already secured a place for postgraduate studies under Xia Zhuoyu.
Since last year, she had been having projects with Xia Zhuoyu; this summer, Xia Zhuoyu had completely forbidden her from part-time work and pushed her into Jingjing Biotechnology team as an intern to familiarize her with basic processes.
Alice was also one of the team’s interns.
As for Yong Shu, he was an accountant in the finance department.
Yong Shu was the son of a friend of Yang Lin’s aunt.
After graduating from Jiangjing University of Finance and Economics, when Yang Lin returned to her grandmother’s house, she grew closer to her aunt. Knowing she was studying in Jiangjing, her aunt specially entrusted her to her friend’s son, Yong Shu, for care.
Out of consideration for her grandparents’ peace of mind, Yang Lin didn’t reject this.
But she wasn’t particularly concerned about it.
Yong Shu was very caring towards her, but Yang Lin was always cold-hearted.
Their relationship changed that night when, after a feverish shift, she fainted on the street and woke up on the bed in her rented room with Yong Shu holding a cup of water beside her.
She also tried to accept Yong Shu. Today, on Bai Lian’s birthday, she had wanted to bring Yong Shu along to introduce him to Bai Lian and her friends.
But it seemed she had thought too much about it.
Given the rare opportunity to be close to Yao Xintian, Yong Shu probably wouldn’t pass up the chance.
Yao Xintian, a new intern during the summer, different from Yang Lin and Alice, came in a Porsche, and there were rumors in the intern group about her family being wealthy tycoons.
The fiery red sports car suddenly sped up.
Ahead was a curve.
Xu Nanjing shifted the car’s weight to the left tire, and even as they nearly crashed into the guardrail, he didn’t slow down.
Yang Lin couldn’t help but close her eyes, gripping her seatbelt tightly as the centrifugal force pulled at her.
Her heart had never beat so fast.
The entire process took a minute before the car calmly came to a stop.
Xu Nanjing rested his hand on the steering wheel, his lips slowly moving as he raised his eyebrows at her, “Exciting, right? Alian really wants to learn this move from me.”
Yang Lin opened her eyes, her brain still tingling with excitement, her brows and eyes unusually relaxed.
However, as she was always restrained, she said nothing.
**
Sijing Club.
When Yang Lin arrived, the entire club was closed today, serving only their group of people.
It was still on the top floor.
As soon as Xu Nanjing entered, he greeted Jiang Fulai and others. Bai Lian was busy posing for photos with Pu Xiaohan, while Zhang Shize was still earnestly reviewing a case.
He was almost a junior.
Chi Yundai took up some small cases for him during the summer break to give him some practice.
“A financial case?” Tang Ming brought a glass of wine for Zhang Shize, looking at the complicated cases he was reviewing, and expressed deep respect.
Zhang Shize looked up, took the wine from Tang Ming, and slowly crossed his legs.
After taking a sip of wine, he suddenly chuckled.
“What’s up?” Tang Ming scratched his head, “Is my look weird?”
“Not really,” Zhang Shize put down his wine glass and, under the box room’s lighting, showed Tang Ming the case in his hand, “It’s just… When I think that someone like me is actually a lawyer, going to court tomorrow, and these big bosses actually trust me a lot, it makes me want to laugh.”
Zhang Shize couldn’t even imagine himself sitting at the defense table, looking all prim and proper.
Tang Ming deeply agreed, “Thinking how I just published another paper in Nature the day before yesterday, and President Huang wants to focus on developing my project, I want to laugh too.”
Next to them, Chen Beixuan was speechless:
She totally couldn’t continue working.
On the right, Pu Xiaohan saw Yang Lin and quickly waved, “Yang Lin, come over here and take a photo with Alian, you’ll be the material for my next video!”
Pu Xiaohan was shooting a series of videos titled–
“What My High School Classmates Are Up To Now”
Yang Lin walked over to take the photo.
Today, Bai Lian wore a diagonally buttoned blouse with light-colored bamboo leaves embroidered on it, revealing a slender section of her arm.
Taking photos with Yang Lin, and following Pu Xiaohan’s words, she lazily struck a pose and asked, “Where’s your friend?”
Yang Lin was supposed to bring a friend, and Bai Lian knew about it.
She was very concerned about Yang Lin’s situation and was happy to hear she had made a friend.
“Something came up,” Yang Lin looked up casually as Pu Xiaohan removed her glasses.
As soon as the glasses were removed, those dark, beautiful eyes were revealed.
Bai Lian crossed her arms and glanced at her thoughtfully.
After taking the photo, Pu Xiaohan, holding the camera, said to Yang Lin, “Yan Lu reserved VIP seats for us all. Alian is busy going to Xicheng and can’t make it, Yang Lin, will you join me instead?”
“Sure.”
Yan Lu is now mainly in movies and TV dramas, and reluctantly organized two concerts this year due to strong fan demand.
There was one concert in each of the four major cities and in Jiangjing.
As soon as the news hit, it crashed the internet.
**
Yong Shu didn’t go to Bai Lian’s birthday party.
Afterwards, Yang Lin never brought it up again, and both maintained a mutual understanding, not contacting each other since Bai Lian’s birthday.
Yong Shu had changed his WeChat profile picture too.
The original picture was of lily flowers, Yang Lin’s favorite. Knowing this, he had planted a pot in his company dormitory and sent her pictures every day.
Now, it had changed to a cute and sprightly short-tailed cat.
Yao Xintian liked cats, and had brought her cat to work before, but she stopped after the manager intervened.
During lunch, Alice, clattering her food tray, indignantly told Yang Lin, “Men are just assholes.”
Yang Lin silently handed her the chicken drumstick from her bowl, her voice calm and detached as usual, “Eat the drumstick.”
Alice took a big bite of the drumstick and mumbled, “Yang Lin, why don’t you ever cuss a bit?”
Finishing her last bite of rice, Yang Lin simply commented, “It’s human nature.”
Alice, looking worried, said, “This is why people take advantage of you. Anyway, did you know our list for permanent positions is coming out this weekend?”
Both of them were still interns.
“Is that so?” Yang Lin was surprised.
“How come you’re never concerned about anything?” Alice poked at her food, looking at Yang Lin across the table, “Sometimes, I really think you’re a mysterious woman.”
After finishing their meal, they returned to their office desks.
Just as they got off the elevator, they saw two people coming out of the neighboring elevator.
It was Yao Xintian and Yong Shu; Yao Xintian was holding a Porsche key and two tickets, standing beside her, Yong Shu looked handsome and tall, the financial university’s heartthrob indeed had his charms.
When she saw Yang Lin, Yao Xintian gave her a meaningful glance.
Turning around, she handed the two concert tickets to Yong Shu, “I heard your sister is a fan of Yan Lu, here are the tickets for her concert in Jiangjing’s B Zone, take care of them.”
