Chapter 2402 Future Direction

Lin Bai met Xiong Qingchun who was withdrawing money at the bank. After learning that Zheng Qiudong had submitted his resignation and confessed his identity to the bank, he suddenly became very nervous.

He quickly found Zheng Qiudong and made an appointment to meet in a cafe.

"What did you tell the bank?"

Zheng Qiudong said calmly: "Don't worry, I won't betray you or the people behind you. I'll give the information to whoever sent me in..."

When Lin Bai saw the waiter coming, he quickly waved his hand and told Zheng Qiudong not to say anything.

After the waiter left, Zheng Qiudong continued, "I didn't tell you how much money I would get after the deal is done. I don't want to use it as a trophy to ask for credit and reward from the bank. It's fine as long as I can have a clear conscience."

Lin Bai was relieved and said, "Foreign banks all have a record of integrity. I was afraid of implicating Tehui. Yuan Kun should be grateful to you. I didn't make it clear on the phone last time. I respect your decision to give up. Many people have the desire to be loyal, but few people turn it into action. Although I advised you to steal, now, I have no complaints."

"Thank you for your understanding. How is Mr. Yuan?"

Lin Bai smiled and said, "Of course he's unhappy. With his status in the underworld, he couldn't handle a small figure like you, and he even let the immigration company pay you tens of thousands of yuan. He can't bear the shame."

"But as far as I know, in the foreign headhunting industry, it is forbidden to use such means of stealing and cheating. At least in regulated companies, such as the Big Five, they disdain such means."

Lin Bai said: "He was doing a favor for a friend. It was a private job outside of the special offer."

After untying the knot in his heart, Lin Bai talked about his encounter with Xiong Qingchun, saying that Xiong Qingchun not only did not complain about Zheng Qiudong, but also protected Zheng Qiudong, just like protecting a piece of porcelain.

Zheng Qiudong was also surprised when he heard this. After all, he thought Xiong Qingchun would blame him.

Lin Bai suddenly thought of something and said, "Oh, by the way, according to the news from my wife's friend, Zhongbao Media was acquired by a listed company, and Luo Yiren has resigned from the position of chairman because of Xia Jiguo's involvement."

Zheng Qiudong asked, "Is there no news about whether he is alive or dead?"

"Life or death? It's not that serious. She doesn't seem to have any serious problems. It is said that they investigated her for a long time but found nothing."

Zheng Qiudong said: "That's true. She should really find a fortune teller. She is so unlucky. She has never met a reliable man. Each one is worse than the last."

He didn't know that at this moment, after Zhong Huailan's operation, Luo Yiren had been released.

Royren looked at the sky outside. He had never felt so free before, and had never felt that freedom was so precious. He took a deep breath.

“What I lack is not good luck, but a normal mind. It’s time to start again! Start over again. I hope the wind can take me home.”

Zhong Huailan looked at Luo Yiren with some concern and said, "Are you chanting?"

Luo Yiren said: "Huai Lan, do you think I am still here? Am I still the same person as before?"

Zhong Huailan couldn't help hugging Luo Yiren and said, "Of course you are still here, you are still you, everything is over. Let's go, the car is waiting for you!"

Just as Luo Yiren was about to get in the car, she heard a song playing in a shopping mall in the distance, "A Love Affair". This made Luo Yiren feel like it was God's arrangement, guiding her future direction.

"How is it possible? Was it arranged by someone?"

Zhong Huailan said: "You need a quiet place to rest, come home with me!"

Roy nodded and said, "Okay! Where will he be?"

Zhong Huailan asked curiously, "Who?"

"That guy."

Zhong Huailan had no idea who Luo Yiren was thinking of, so she said, "Oh, those who are under double supervision are all in the second round of the Judicial Bureau, and no visitation is allowed."

Luo Yiren smiled and said, "I didn't say anything about him."

Zhong Huailan hesitated for a moment and said, "If you are talking about Zhao Shucheng, he is in the company, and he appeared here not long ago. Do you want to go find him?"

Luo Yiren shook his head and said, "No, I haven't figured out how to face him yet."

Zheng Qiudong's employment agency was developing better and better, making Xiong Qingchun happy to count the money, but Zheng Qiudong was greedy and wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to invest the money in high-end office buildings and change the company name and business scope.

Xiong Qingchun knew Zheng Qiudong's idea, but she didn't think it was a good idea. After all, headhunting is not something you can just open whenever you want, and it's not as easy as a job agency. She wanted to buy a high-end business car, which would make it more convenient for travel and also improve the company's reputation.

For this reason, she and Zheng Qiudong could not help but start arguing. Zheng Qiudong was even more unwilling to give in. Xiong Qingchun did not want to accommodate Zheng Qiudong either. In anger, she threw the money aside. Zheng Qiudong picked it up silently. Although the two had a dispute, they soon reconciled.

Luo Yiren was watching the news online at home and accidentally saw Xia Jiguo's online public trial. He was suspected of taking bribes, abusing his power, etc., and was eventually sentenced.

Luo Yiren burst into tears when she saw Xia Jiguo being sentenced. Although Xia Jiguo deserved the sentence and she didn't love him at all, she was still very grateful for his kindness to her over the years.

Zhong Huailan looked at the crying Luo Yiren and said, "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine!"

Luo Yiren suddenly thought of the song she heard outside the guesthouse that day, and hoped to meet the creator. Of course, it was easy for her to meet the creator, after all, she discovered the creator herself, and even arranged for someone to record the album before she was taken away for investigation.

She found the creator, and looking at the unshaven, unkempt man in front of her, she couldn't help but think of the first time they met, when he was still a rock fan. It was hard to imagine that he was the one who created a song like "A Love Affair".

“When will the new album be released?”

The other party said, "Let's wait and see. I have signed a lot of concerts this year, so I can't see you and there is no one to discuss it with. I signed a contract with a new agency. To put it bluntly, I am still living off the capital of a relationship. I bought a house and a car. When I think of these, I miss Brother Qiu Dong and your kindness."

When Luo Yiren heard the other party's words, she realized that the other party was actually introduced to her by Zheng Qiudong. It was before Zheng Qiudong left Beijing that he told her that he had met a very talented musician and hoped that Luo Yiren could help him.

"Just think of his good points. I just helped you re-record a version. It's all a company action."

"You haven't heard from Brother Qiu Dong yet?"

Luo Yiren shook his head and said, "I talked about it a long time ago, and then... he must not be in the capital anymore."

"I have to go, I bought a piano and had it delivered to me."

Zhong Huailan watched him walk away and said, "He just left like that without even saying hello. I finally saw him in person today. His song A Love Affair is so popular."

Luo Yiren said: "Without Zheng Qiudong, he wouldn't be where he is today."

"I know, two people were mumbling to each other, reminiscing about the past! Nostalgia together!"

"Just talk nonsense!"

Seeing that Luo Yiren was in good spirits, Zhong Huailan said, "I'm going to the law firm. Do you want to bring anything with you?" "Just bring yourself back."

"It should be possible, let's go!"

After Zhong Huailan left, Luo Yiren put on headphones and listened to songs over and over again, thinking of the men she had met along the way, including her first love Zheng Qiudong, the deceased Lao Bai, Xia Jiguo who had been with her for four years, and Zhao Shucheng, whom she liked but did not confess her love to.

Suddenly, he thought of a person, Lin Bai. Speaking of which, the other party had intersections with the two men he knew. Zheng Qiudong almost tricked Lin Bai, and Zhao Shucheng also had a friendship with the other party.

Thinking of this, she turned on her computer and searched for special offers on the website, hoping to find Lin Bai's contact information and inquire about Zheng Qiudong's whereabouts. This would also be a way to give an explanation for her lost relationship so that she could start a new relationship.

But after searching, she found that Lin Bai, the former president of Jingcheng, had no information on the website and could only call the consultation number left by the company on the website.

"Hello, is Mr. Lin Bai here? I have entrusted him with business before."

"Mr. Lin Bai has been transferred to the Hangzhou office. We can give you the phone number of the Hangzhou office. You can also log on to the Hangzhou office's website to check Mr. Lin Bai's situation."

Luo Yiren didn't expect that Lin Bai actually went to Hangzhou, so she could only check it out herself. After hesitating for a moment, she did not call directly to ask.

After Zhong Huailan returned home, she saw that Luo Yiren had already prepared dinner and said, "It smells so good, Yiren. Why don't you be my babysitter?"

"What about me? After a month, I still don't know who will serve whom."

Zhong Huailan said, "I'm going to Yiwu tomorrow to get a transcript. Do you want to go with me to relax? It's a small commodity distribution center. You don't want to stay at home alone all the time."

Luo Yiren thought for a moment and said, "Yiwu is in Zhejiang, right?"

"How about it, do you want to go?"

Luo Yiren said: "If you fly to Hangzhou first, I can consider it."

Zhong Huailan was curious why Hangzhou could be considered, but when she thought that she could take Luo Yiren out to relax, she readily agreed.

When getting off the plane, Luo Yiren and Zhong Huailan were waiting for a car on the roadside, but they didn't know that right behind them, Jia Yime and Hui Chenggong were welcoming Xiong Qingchun and Zheng Qiudong who had returned from Taiwan.

On the way to the city, when Xiong Qingchun was giving gifts to Hui Chenggong and Jia Yimei, he turned around and saw Luo Yiren sitting in a taxi. The two even looked at each other. However, Luo Yiren didn't know Xiong Qingchun's identity yet, so she just turned her head casually.

Luo Yiren followed Zhong Huailan to the hotel and said while riding the elevator: "I will stay here for two days. After you finish your business in Yiwu, come back here. I will accompany you back to Beijing."

Zhong Huailan asked curiously, "What do you mean, you won't go with me?"

"You're going to handle a case, why should I follow you? I just want to go to West Lake for a walk and get some fresh air."

Zhong Huailan said: "Oh, you are isolating yourself from the world and creating a lonely atmosphere?"

"On the contrary, I just want to break this lonely atmosphere. Beijing is too depressing, just like smog. Before you leave, please make a phone call for me and ask someone out."

After hearing this, Zhong Huailan asked curiously: "It's so mysterious, why don't you make an appointment yourself?"

"Maybe someone thinks I'm a devil, and I'm afraid of scaring him."

Zhong Huailan said, "So you had plans to come to Hangzhou. I thought you came here just to accompany me. But I remember Zhao Shucheng was still in the capital. Did you find out about his schedule and come to Hangzhou in the next few days?"

"What does it have to do with him? He's not the person I want to see."

Zhong Huailan became even more curious and asked, "Who is it?"

"It's an unfamiliar acquaintance."

Lin Bai received a call from Zhong Huailan. He was curious why the other party asked him to meet, but he readily agreed.

But when he arrived at the agreed place and saw Royren appear in front of him, he almost threw away the teacup in his hand.

"Isn't it Mr. Luo?"

Luo Yiren smiled and said, "Yes, I'm sorry to scare you. Please sit down!"

Lin Bai was still a little shocked and said, "You sit down too!"

Luo Yiren looked at Lin Bai without saying anything and said, "It was precisely because of this worry that I asked my friend to help me make an appointment with you. She made up the excuse of discussing the project. Ah, two mochas, thank you!"

After the waiter left, Roy continued, "Actually, I wanted to see you!"

Lin Bai asked curiously, "Are you alone?"

"Yes! My friend has gone to Yiwu. Don't mind. She is very talented in writing scripts and she made things look very big. Will it not affect your plans?"

Lin Bai said, "No, I just came to Hangzhou not long ago and I'm quite free." He looked around and whispered,

"Boss Luo, you shouldn't be here at this time. There are many rumors saying..."

Luo Yiren smiled and said, "I was just assisting in the investigation, which has already ended. The rumors are not credible."

Lin Bai still found it a little unbelievable and said, "I heard from Manager Yao of Zhongbao Media's human resources department that most of the middle and senior management of Zhongbao Media have left, and some have even been arrested."

"This company relies on connections to make a living. Once someone falls, it will be left to fend for itself."

Lin Bai asked, "Are you here in Hangzhou for new business or for tourism?"

Luo Yiren said, "Can't I just come and visit Mr. Lin?"

Lin Bai didn't believe that Luo Yiren really came all the way to see him, so he said, "No, I don't dare to use the word 'visit'. If you have anything to say, just tell me, and I will do my best."

Luo Yiren said: "Do you have any news about Zheng Qiudong?"

"Who?"

Luo Yiren said, "Qin Fei, your classmate in the MBA class, was later recruited by you to work in Valley Business."

"Remember, Tan Fei is his pseudonym. His real name is Zheng Qiudong. Does Mr. Luo want to find him?"

Luo Yiren nodded and said, "Yes, staying in the capital is boring and depressing. No one wants to see me, and no one wants to talk to me. I remember Zheng Qiudong encountered this situation. He was even more destitute than a homeless person. All his friends disappeared, and he suddenly thought of the people far away."
