I'm such a lovesick person.

Chapter 524 Love in the Present
The interior of the luxurious Cullinan.

Having meticulously groomed himself, Liu Yue, after sitting down, naturally touched the soft leather seat and said with a smile, "I always thought this car was something you borrowed to make a show of things."

She was wearing a gray trench coat and carrying a small handbag containing a few pieces of underwear.

Since Wei Lin had made it clear that she wouldn't be staying for long, she didn't bring her prepared suitcase.

She was somewhat disappointed by this.

"You don't think so anymore?"

Wei Lin smiled calmly, and somewhat awkwardly turned the steering wheel, heading towards the highway exit leading out of the city.

Scenes from his past acquaintance with Liu Yue flashed through his mind, leaving him feeling utterly unmoved.

He didn't love Liu Yue; his trip was merely to gain more affection points and advance his life.

"Don't blame me for overthinking it." Liu Yue gave him a coquettish glare and explained, "Shanshan's Qingque was already on the verge of bankruptcy. When you suddenly pulled out so much money to invest in it, of course I would think you had ulterior motives!"

As she spoke, she sighed softly and remarked, "Who would have thought you would have the ability to bring Qingque to its current level?"

Wei Lin felt a surge of joy, yet also a sense of melancholy.

There was a time when Liu Yue was the woman he hated most, constantly stirring up trouble for his partner Hua Hongshan, causing a rift between them.

Now, nothing has happened between him and Hua Hongshan, but he's already entangled with Liu Yue.

With this thought in mind, Wei Lin, who was driving, couldn't resist placing his left hand on Liu Yue's round thigh. Looking straight ahead, he asked with a smile, "Have you told her about our relationship?"

Liu Yue was startled at first, then bit her lower lip, blushing, and said, "I definitely won't tell! And you're not allowed to tell either!"

Wei Lin nodded, hesitated for a moment, and then suddenly said, "Many times, I don't understand what you're thinking. Can you tell me?"

Liu Yue asked in surprise, "Which aspect are you referring to?"

Wei Lin: "The two of us!"

Like Hua Hongshan, Liu Yue also comes from a good family background; otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to invest in her mentor's law firm.

She wasn't short of money, and knowing full well that there were other people around her, she chose to actively seduce and tempt them, seeking neither fame nor fortune, which Wei Lin simply couldn't understand.

Xiang Wen longed to have all of him, and the inability to have him caused her extreme pain, making her depressed all day long.

People like Shen Yanfei and Ling Yao have high expectations for material things and want to change their fate through him, so they don't particularly care about anything else.

Compared to these people, Liu Yue, who doesn't want anything, seems a bit different, even a bit crazy.

"I understand what you want to ask."

Liu Yue curled her lip and sneered dismissively, "Wei Lin, remember I'm a lawyer. I worked part-time at a law firm when I was in college, and I've handled far too many divorce cases."

"Love, marriage—these things are all illusions; nothing lasts forever!"

"In my own experience with divorce cases, there have been many couples who were once deeply in love, but ended up in court over trivial matters."

Her pretty face was now filled with disdain.

"I don't believe in love, nor do I believe that the piece of paper binding us in marriage can really have any meaning!"

"Since nothing is guaranteed to last forever, wouldn't it be wiser for me to pursue fleeting, present happiness?"

"Wei Lin, we have no future together, and you have no future with anyone else either."

"They, me, and all the women who will appear in the future are just passersby in your life."

"I think as long as I'm happy with you at this stage, that's enough." "As for the future? Heh!"

Liu Yue laughed rather unrestrainedly.

Wei Lin, who was driving, turned his head and looked at her deeply, then said softly, "It's so good that you think that way. I don't have to feel guilty anymore."

If women like Xiang Wen could be as open-minded as Liu Yue, he wouldn't feel so guilty.

It was at this moment that he clearly realized that people are indeed different.

……

Linxi Advertising Company.

The connections Wei Lin had specifically sought out began to take effect that morning.

Lin Nanxi, who had anticipated this, arranged for staff to take turns working last night, which ensured that none of the customers who came to inquire came up empty-handed.

The company's phone is constantly being answered, hung up, and then answered again.

Han Jie's influence, along with the connections of Zhao Yuanqing and Huang Xingzhi, led many companies in Linjiang City to seek out Linxi and proactively request advertising collaborations.

"Just who exactly is President Wei?"

Yuan Fu came to Lin Nanxi's office again, and his face was full of shock as he looked at the list of partners in his hand.

“Mr. Lin, there are a few companies I’ve dealt with before! I remember them! They don’t cooperate with advertising companies in our city, and even when I went there on behalf of Hanlin, they ignored me.”

Linjiang is just a small city. Real, powerful companies will hire advertising companies in Nanjing or Shanghai.

But today, among the companies that came seeking cooperation, there was one with such a profound background that took the initiative to extend an olive branch.

“Wei Lin does have some connections and resources in our Linjiang City.”

Lin Nanxi, who had met Zhu Jun, Zhao Fulong and others, smiled upon hearing this and said, "By the way, he said he hoped we could get Linxi to work in the provincial capital, saying that the stage there is bigger, and he also has many friends in the province."

"Old Yuan, what's your take on this?"

After their conversation last night, Lin Nanxi was indeed somewhat tempted, mainly because Wei Lin mentioned that his work focus would gradually shift towards the provincial level.

Yuan Fu's expression changed: "President Wei also has connections in the province?"

Lin Nanxi nodded with a smile.

"Okay then!" Yuan
Fu clenched his fist and waved it forcefully, saying, "The worst thing in our line of work is not having clients! As long as you have a sufficient client base, I can handle everything else for you! Mr. Lin, moving the company to the provincial capital and using this place as a branch office is no problem at all!"

Lin Nanxi breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "With your words, I feel a bit bolder."

Yuan Fu laughed heartily: "President Lin, you're wrong. With President Wei by your side to help you, you can go all out and do it!"

……

Meanwhile, Wei Lin, who hadn't yet reached his destination, was also keeping an eye on the system while talking to Liu Yue.

As expected, because he helped Lin Nanxi in her career, he received an extra bonus in terms of affection points, which surged throughout the morning.

"If this continues, we'll be able to move on to the next round in less than a month."
