I'm such a lovesick person.

Chapter 438 The Old Butler's Doubts
The main character at tonight's banquet is Zhu Jun.

Because of her ex-husband Huo Jiaxiong's good relationship with the Qin family, she specially invited Qin Wei over to get close to him, so she kept talking to Qin Wei in close proximity.

Everyone understood the purpose of the meal, and the young people chatted amongst themselves, not disturbing her and Qin Wei.

He Jingxuan remained in a dazed state.

It wasn't because she had drunk some alcohol, but because so many things had happened throughout the day that she couldn't calm down.

Wei Lin was stunned when he offered to give her Zhongcheng's shares and the large apartment in Linjiang City.

"Brother Wei..."

A little tipsy, Huo Shiqi took the opportunity while toasting Wei Lin to say in a low voice, "Linjiang City is very small, so you have to be careful. Although Sister Qing rarely participates in social activities, her father and Brother Daoyuan still have a lot of connections. Don't let Sister Qing find out."

Wei Lin nodded slightly.

"Brother Wei, let me toast you!"

Huo Haosheng stood up and pulled Wei Lin, insisting that they drink.

Near the end, Wei Lin asked Qin Wei and Zhu Jun about Xiao Bing and Guangai Venture Capital, saying that today at Zhongcheng Pharmaceutical, it was Guangai that suddenly interfered and almost ruined their cooperation.

Unfortunately, neither of them knew much about Xiao Bing and Guang Ai.

……

The next day.

Tuesday, October 4nd.

Affection level: 20625/50000.

Life Energy: 1220/5000.

Waking up in the morning, Wei Lin glanced at the Affection Points system and couldn't help but sigh to himself, "Affection Points are still easy to obtain, but Life Essence really can only be obtained by grinding away time; there's no other way."

Yesterday, my life essence was 1550, but after using several special techniques on Zhongcheng's side, it was depleted by 380.

The mind control was applied to Chang Cheng, but due to Chang Cheng's strong willpower, it cost 300 points.

Using mind-reading on Hao Han consumed another 80 points of life essence.

The more critical the moment, the more Wei Lin found that the life essence was very useful and could play a decisive role.

Unfortunately, the growth of life essence can only be achieved through gradual accumulation; there are no other means of enhancement.

"Brother Wei, why are you awake so early?"

He Jingxuan lazily turned over, touched Wei Lin's strong and well-proportioned body, and then woke up groggily.

"got used to."

Wei Lin smiled, kissed her forehead, and said, "I'm going to take a shower first. Once I'm done with my work, we'll head back to Linjiang City."

He Jingxuan: "Mmm."

……

Ten o'clock in the morning.

Xiao Bing arrived at the old butler's workplace, knocked on the door, and said, "Uncle Dong, last night I used all my connections to investigate, and all I know is that Zhongcheng's chosen candidate is a man named Han Jie from Linjiang City."

"Han Jie is the son of Han Yuantu of the Hanli Group in Linjiang City. Han Yuantu is the richest man in Linjiang City."

"I have no way of knowing the contents of their contract, nor do I know if there are any other people besides Han Jie."

Xiao Bing told the truth.

Dong Mu called out softly, "Linjiang City, Han Jie!"

Chang Cheng is a tight-lipped person. When he was discussing investment details with Zhongcheng, Chang Cheng only said that someone had also taken a liking to Zhongcheng a long time ago, and briefly mentioned the conditions that person had given, asking him to consider the investment matters.

However, Chang Cheng did not reveal any specific information about that person, nor did he say that the other party was Han Jie from Linjiang City.

Because of this, he was unaware that Han Jie, whom he had investigated recently, was the person who competed with Guang Ai.

Xiao Bing asked curiously, "You know Han Jie?"

Dong Mu nodded slightly and said, "Longxing Precision Machinery had a big surge in stock price recently, and Han Jie invested a large sum of money in it. Mr. Wu asked me to keep an eye on it."

“Uncle Dong, Han Jie has a close relationship with Qin Wei of the Qin family in Jinling City, and Qin Wei and Chang Cheng are old classmates. From what I’ve heard, Chang Cheng contacted Qin Wei because he needed money, and Qin Wei then called Han Jie.”

Xiao Bing truthfully recounted everything she knew.

Finally, he said, "What I can't understand is, even though Guang'ai offered better conditions, why did Chang Cheng ultimately choose Han Jie?"

Upon hearing this, Dong Mu also frowned.

Han Jie's appearance before their contact with Zhongcheng Pharmaceutical was somewhat coincidental, which gave Dong Mu an idea.

Boss Wu Zhong kept telling him to find someone, but Han Jie didn't meet the criteria Wu Zhong had mentioned, because Han Jie was virtuous and didn't have many women around him.

In addition, Han Jie is not the kind of person who suddenly rose to prominence; he is a second-generation rich kid.

"It's definitely not Han Jie. What about Chang Cheng? He's already married and only has one wife, Hao Han. They have a good relationship." Dong Mu muttered to himself.

……

Linjiang City, Xinlin Hat Industry.

Half past ten.

Sun Xiaomiao, the finance manager, came to An Yuntian's office with a smile on her chubby face and said, "President An, President Wei's money, including principal and interest, has been transferred to the company account."

An Yuntian breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Once we transfer the final payment to Tianzhong, we can say that we have truly taken Tianzhong into our possession."

He was very happy.

Wei Lin planned to hand over the management of Tianzhong Hat Industry's branch factory to An Xin, regardless of whether An Xin agreed or not.

Lately, he's been talking to An Xin so much that he's almost worn his lips out, telling him how difficult it is to manage a factory of the same size as Xinlin.

"President An, even without President Wei's money arriving, we still have enough money in our account."

Sun Xiaomiao's expression turned serious, and she smiled, "Our profits are very good, and the dividends from cosmetics are flowing in steadily. Our brand of hats are also selling very well across various channels, and the returns are excellent."

An Yuntian said, "I understand all of that, but the company must have a certain amount of working capital in its accounts; it can't be empty all at once."

After chatting for a few more minutes, he told Sun Xiaomiao to go back and then called An Xin in.

"Tianzhong will soon be ours. From now on, when you work in Tianzhong, you need to behave properly!"

Looking at his son, who was beaming and standing ramrod straight, Old An felt somewhat satisfied.

He didn't know what had happened to An Xin either.

In short, An Xin underwent a complete transformation in a short period of time, with significant improvements in both his physique and demeanor as well as his speech.

"Dad, I'm confident I can manage the Tianzhong branch factory well!"

An Xin said with great enthusiasm.

He's really riding high lately.

On Sunday night in Jinling City, he and Feng Yuzhi were taken by Wei Lin to Qin Bo's restaurant. That night, Feng Yuzhi drank too much and was taken back to the hotel by him, where the two slept in the same room.

He finally won the heart of the beauty, and had a real relationship with Feng Yuzhi.

Once this unspoken understanding between a man and a woman is broken, their relationship will progress rapidly.

Having won over the woman he desired, and with his career about to take off to new heights, An Xin was all smiles, seemingly without a care in the world.

An Yuntian nodded: "That's good! Keep it up!"

……

At 1 PM, I went to Life Fitness.

He Jingxuan had originally taken Tuesday off, but since Wei Lin drove back early in the morning and arrived in Linjiang City before noon, she came to work on time again.

"Xiao He! You're back!"

The moment Yu Xiaorou saw her, she immediately pulled her to a small corner of the staff break room and said, "Didn't you take the day off? Why are you suddenly back at work?"

Not far away, Zhao Jie brought in her takeout and sat down at the table to eat lunch.

"Everything was taken care of yesterday, and Brother Wei came back this morning. Since the gym doesn't have a working hours in the morning, I scheduled classes with the members as usual."

After having lunch with Wei Lin, He Jingxuan glanced at her digital watch and said, "Sister Zhao will be here soon."

"Are all the messages you sent me true?" Yu Xiaorou asked in a low voice.

He Jingxuan gave a soft "hmm" and said, "I believe Brother Wei's words, he shouldn't lie to me. Sister Xiaorou, I'm just... just scared, I'm still scared."

Yu Xiaorou looked her up and down and said, "What are you afraid of? Just accept whatever President Wei gives you!"

That's what she said, but she still found it hard to believe.

She didn't see Wei Lin drive the Cullinan over. All she knew from An Xin was that Wei Lin owned a hat factory, which was a joint venture with An Xin's family.

Therefore, she always felt that Wei Lin was just a young small business owner with not much financial strength.

But now, from He Jingxuan, Zhao Lianyun and Lin Ping, she gradually realized that she probably knew nothing about Wei Lin.

"Xiao He, you're back!"

Zhao Lianyun approached with a smile, and when she reached He Jingxuan, her eyes were filled with an even wider smile. She said, "You met Sister Zhu last night, right? Sister Zhu told me about you, saying you're very likable! Xiao He, Sister Zhu said that you can go see the big apartment that Wei Lin gave you tomorrow. Do you want me to go with you?"

……

P.S.: I've been having a lot of bad luck lately, so my updates have been slow. I'm really sorry.

Today is another chapter. I'm going to the hospital right away to have my hand bones checked. It seems like there's some kind of TFCC injury (triangular cartilage injury). It's been swollen and painful for a while now.
