Chapter 1210 Hero saves beauty
Seeing Lin Hao stand up for her, Jian Ai instantly felt relieved, as if she had found someone to rely on, and her heart calmed down.

"And there's more!" Lin Hao continued, dropping another bombshell:
"Don't forget, the optimization was decided before Jane came to VG. You should understand what that means."

"So what's the point of you looking for Jane Ai or Liu Yingxia? Even if the company doesn't have Jane Ai or Liu Yingxia, as long as the position of HR Director remains and the company's senior management hasn't changed, the matter of you being summoned for questioning won't change."

"At most, they would replace Jian Ai with Wang Ai or Li Ai, or Liu Yingxia with Wang Yingxia or Li Yingxia."

"What you should do most right now is go back to your work and not let this meeting affect you!"

"The reason why optimization is called optimization, rather than being directly called layoffs, is because some people will be laid off, while others will be promoted or transferred."

"Of course, you two can communicate well in the future. Whether you want to stay with VG or find another way out, I can help you!"

"But if you continue to act so unreasonably, then don't blame me for being impolite!"

"Understood, Mr. Lin!"

"Thank you, Mr. Lin!"

"we know!"

"Thank you, Mr. Lin!"

"Let's go!" Lin Hao pulled Jian Ai into the car, saying, "I'll give you a ride, so no one else will come looking for you!"

Unlike before the divorce, Jane no longer nitpicked at Lin Hao; now she genuinely felt his care.

Just when she was feeling somewhat desperate, Lin Hao's appearance caused Jian Ai to break down her defenses.

I originally thought that divorcing him would be a relief for me, but it turned out to be very different from what I expected.

When they met again at the company, she thought Lin Hao had joined VG for her sake. Even though Lin Hao had divorced her, she thought he would still treat her as attentively as before.

At that time, I even felt a sense of anticipation.
Unexpectedly, Lin Hao treated her only in a businesslike manner, and even gave her a hard time on her first day at the company.

He didn't give her any special treatment at the company; instead, he was getting along very well with his secretary.

What happened today had a particularly strong impact on her, and the questions from the employees who were about to be laid off left her panicked.

"Thank you!" After walking some distance from the company, Jane said gratefully to Lin Hao, who had been silent.

"You're welcome. Although we're not husband and wife anymore, we're still colleagues!" Lin Hao said casually.
"How can I not lend a hand when my colleague is in trouble!"

Seeing that Lin Hao still maintained a businesslike attitude, Jian Ai felt extremely annoyed and then said unhappily:
"Put me down at the intersection ahead!"

Lin Hao shook his head decisively and said, "That won't do. If we put you down so quickly, what if those people come after you and cause trouble again!"

"Besides, you know me. I never give up halfway through something. I definitely have to get you home safely!"

"I don't need you to take me home, and I don't want to go home now. I want to go have a drink, so I won't bother you!"

Jane originally wanted to say that she wouldn't disturb Lin Hao's date with his secretary, but considering his character, she didn't say it.

"There's a saying that if a woman doesn't get drunk, a man won't have a chance. You're not trying to seduce me, are you?" Lin Hao teased with a smile, noticing Jian Ai's thoughts.

"You're just being presumptuous!" Jian Ai's face flushed instantly after the person involved had read her mind; she really had that thought in mind today.

Because she knew that if she agreed to let Lin Hao take her home, he would only take her downstairs.

"So you've been provoked and want to vent your frustrations!" Lin Hao then said frankly.

"Fine, I'll risk my life for you today. Even if you eat me, I'll accept it!"

It turned out they were just teasing her. Jane breathed a sigh of relief, but also felt a little disappointed. Could it be that they were really going to become strangers from now on?

What was Lin Hao really thinking? What was his attitude towards her? Unable to fathom Lin Hao's thoughts, and coupled with his earlier teasing, Jian Ai felt increasingly uneasy.

He simply stopped bothering with Lin Hao, since Lin Hao would accompany him for drinks anyway.

Meanwhile, Zhou Yiming's secret artist development plan for Huizi finally reached Zhang Yahui, who then took the artist development plan and had a candlelight dinner with Zhou Yiming.

"Mr. Zhou, all the dishes you ordered have been served!"

"Thank you!"

Zhang Ya Hui pointed to the dishes on the table and asked, "Uncle, did you prepare all of these especially for me?"

"Do you like it?" Zhou Yiming asked smugly.

"Of course I like it!" When good things happen, people are in high spirits. The company has made an artist plan for her, and Hui Zi is happy all day long. Apart from having to pay for it herself, she is perfect.

"Ms. Hui's liking is my greatest joy!" Zhou Yiming raised his glass to Zhang Ya Hui and said:
"Come on, have a taste. Let me tell you, this chef's background is extraordinary, equivalent to a Michelin-starred chef, he must have at least two hundred stars!"

Zhang Ya Hui smiled, enjoying her food, but her mind was still on the matter of developing artists.

Seeing that she seemed distracted, Zhou Yiming immediately asked, "What's wrong, Huizi? Is something on your mind?"

"Uncle!" Huizi felt a little embarrassed, but thinking about her future development, she still said hesitantly:
"Haven't you always wanted to support my career?"

"Of course!" Zhou Yiming knew perfectly well what was going on, but he still looked concerned.

“Then let me show you something!” Zhang Ya Hui said, taking out the artist training plan from her bag and walking over to Zhou Yiming, saying, “Take a look at this!”

"Look, what our boss means is that resources are limited right now, and if we want to develop faster, we might have to pay some of the costs ourselves!"

"For example, setting up a personal studio includes things like business negotiations and personal dance rehearsals!"

Looking at the familiar planning document, Zhou Yiming exclaimed with delight, "Why didn't you bring this out sooner? It's so good!"

"Great! Let's do this: have someone from your art troupe contact me as soon as possible, and we'll get all the details sorted out!"

"Don't worry about the funding; they just need to focus all their efforts on building your future!"

Before Hui Zi could even speak, Zhou Yiming casually flipped through two pages and readily agreed.

However, Zhou Yiming's reaction made Zhang Yahui feel a little strange, and she wondered if things were going too smoothly.

"Uncle, are you serious?" Zhang Ya Hui's eyes held a scrutinizing tone.

"Of course I'm serious!" Zhou Yiming said matter-of-factly.

"Why do I feel like you agreed so readily, as if it were premeditated?" Zhang Ya Hui said uncertainly.

"No, no!" Zhang Ya Hui's words made Zhou Yiming a little nervous, so he quickly said, "How could there be any premeditation!" "Then have you looked carefully? It's clearly written here that if you invest money, then I have to fulfill my obligations, and our relationship cannot be made public!" Zhang Ya Hui said with some regret.

"I understand, really, Hui Zi, I completely understand!" Zhou Yiming said eagerly.

"Being a celebrity means you have to be careful about these things!"

"Although I cared a lot about your career before, it's true that every industry is different, and I didn't know how to proceed!"

"But now it's great, there's a professional team to build it, this is simply a fantastic thing!"

Zhou Yiming's words not only failed to dispel Zhang Yahui's doubts, but instead made her even more suspicious:
"But it's so obvious that I'm making you support me!"

"You invest money in me, and then you might end up losing everything. Aren't you even a little bit unhappy about that?"

"No!" Zhou Yiming replied matter-of-factly to Huizi's question.

"Why wouldn't I be happy? Being together is about mutual support and growth!"

"We are officially dating, we are in a relationship, it's normal for someone to give and someone to receive!"

To make his words more persuasive, Zhou Yiming racked his brains and said:

“Huizi, not every effort needs to be rewarded, nor does every reward need to be given. We’re in a relationship, so how can we be so calculating about everything? That’s not a relationship, that’s business!”

Seeing Zhou Yiming's anxious explanation, Huizi basically understood that she had gotten the answer she wanted.

So Huizi said calmly, "I understand!"

"What...what have you figured out now?" Zhou Yiming asked nervously.

“Three things!” Zhang Ya Hui analyzed with a confident expression:
"First, you're so relaxed because I came to ask you for money, not to force you into marriage. You're relieved, right?"

"Secondly, by doing so much for me, you're also leaving yourself a way out. If you don't want to be with me anymore in the future, you won't feel guilty!"

"Third, it clearly states here that you can't date, and if you do date, you can't make it public, which suits you perfectly, doesn't it?"

"Mr. Zhou, if you want to date me this way!"

"It's not Huizi!" After hearing Zhang Ya Hui's analysis, Zhou Yiming panicked because her guesses were all correct.

However, before Zhou Yiming could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Zhang Yahui, who then told him something that surprised him greatly.

"I can accept that too!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yiming's eyes widened, and he looked at Huizi in disbelief.

"Well, Uncle, I told you so!" Zhang Ya Hui calmly raised her glass and said, "Let's celebrate!"

Zhou Yiming awkwardly took a sip of his drink, then said sincerely, "Listen to me, there are real feelings between us, right?"

"Yes!" Huizi answered without hesitation, then added just as earnestly:

"Uncle, I firmly believe this. I have never doubted our feelings for each other, and I know that you are very good to me!"

But how should I put it, you're too guarded, though I understand!
As a businessman, perhaps your way of expressing your feelings is to spend more money and pay more attention than others, believing that you can only express your feelings through comparison!

"I guess this is how successful people like you express your feelings!"

“If I said this is trash!” Zhang Ya Hui thought for a moment and then shook her head, saying, “No, you can’t say that!”

"After all, you like me a lot, you're willing to make sacrifices for me, and I can see that you love me very much, but all of this doesn't include accepting me and starting a family!"

Zhang Ya Hui stopped Zhou Yiming from refuting her, and then continued:

"Uncle, there's nothing I'm afraid to admit. Since I've chosen to speak out, it means I've chosen to accept it!"

Zhou Yiming was at a loss for words. Everything was proceeding according to his plan, yet everything was still beyond his control.

Overall, however, the outcome was good; Huizi eventually accepted his feelings.

Meanwhile, when Liu Yingxia returned home, she didn't see Jia Kuan in the living room, but she still called out, "I'm home!"

Although Jia Kuan was cooking in the kitchen, he was so quiet that she felt a little uncomfortable.

Seeing Jia Kuan cooking alone in the kitchen, Liu Yingxia felt bad and went to the kitchen door.

"Husband!" Liu Yingxia called out gently to Jia Kuan in the kitchen, "I'm home!"

"Come back, come back! Hurry up and change your clothes!" Jia Kuan said without turning his head.

"What are you standing there for? Are you captivated by my imposing figure?"

People say that men are most charming in two situations: when they are cooking and when they are working. I don't compare myself to others when it comes to work, but when it comes to cooking, I've never been inferior to anyone!
"Hurry up and change your clothes, dinner's almost ready!"

Jia Kuan was still the same Jia Kuan as always, chattering away without stopping, but Liu Yingxia could sense that Jia Kuan was actually in a very low mood.

So instead of snapping back at him like he usually does, he went back to change his clothes and helped Jia Kuan with his work.

When it was time to eat, Liu Yingxia specially brought out a bottle of baijiu (Chinese liquor) and poured a glass for Jia Kuan and herself.

Seeing this, Jia Kuan asked with a puzzled look, "No, what does this mean? A farewell banquet?"

"Let's have a drink together today!" Liu Yingxia was actually quite upset.

Jia Kuan looked completely bewildered, then said somewhat nervously:
"I may have been a bit too outspoken at the company today, but I didn't mean to ask for death!"

Liu Yingxia raised her glass and clinked it with Jia Kuan's, then downed a large gulp.

"Drink slowly!" Jia Kuan also took a sip.

Liu Yingxia put down her wine glass. Thinking about the optimization situation today and the conflict downstairs at the company, she said with a sigh:

"Jane was blocked by that group of people at the company entrance when she got off work today!"

"Is Jian Ai alright?" Jia Kuan asked quickly, also wanting to know what happened next.

"Don't worry, nothing serious has happened!" Then she complained to Jia Kuan, "You know, with the company in this situation, everything I do is right from a public perspective, but everything I do is wrong from a private perspective!"

At this point, Liu Yingxia seemed to remember something and asked Jia Kuan, "By the way, wasn't there any reaction in your employee optimization group?"

Jia Kuan glanced at Liu Yingxia, but shook his head and remained silent. There were some things he couldn't say to Liu Yingxia.
