Zhuang Han scratched his head and giggled. “Actually, I can’t really remember either.”

Chu Xun: “…”

Zhuang Hanxue vaguely remembered, saying, “He came to me to ask for your contact information. But I, as you know, am supremely honorable and righteous! You specifically told me not to talk about your illness, so of course I wouldn’t. I said, “If you are Chu Xun’s boyfriend, show me some evidence”. He didn’t even have a picture, so I was going to drive him away. Turns out, he was very charismatic, and his speech was quite emotionally touching. He talked about what you liked and didn’t like to eat. He said a lot of things, and it moved me so much it made me cry. I can’t stand this kind of thing the most. Although I’m stupid, I can very clearly tell the difference between sincerity and insincerity.”

After that, he added, “I should be able to tell the difference… Brother Chu, I didn’t make trouble for you, right?”

Chu Xun forced out a smile. “No. En. Thank you. ”

Zhuang Hanxue felt overwhelmingly flattered. “I haven’t heard the words ‘Thank you’ from your mouth for so long.”

Lin Yanchen knocked on the door and entered the study. “Dad, what did you call me for?”

Old President Lin saw him and concealed his nervousness. “Oh, you are here.”

Lin Yanchen had also been looking for his father. Chu Xun had already introduced him to his parents, so he wanted to introduce Chu Xun to his father as well. Before, his father was not at home, but now there was finally a chance.

Lin Yanchen thought his father wanted to discuss work with him.

His father frowned and solemnly handed him a notebook. “Look at this.”

Lin Yanchen didn’t understand, so he took the notebook and opened it. The first page had a picture of a girl, with the next few pages after displaying pictures of different girls. After the pictures, there were pages detailing the girls’ information. He flipped through the rest, and it was all information on different girls. Their ages were similar to his, and their family circumstances were also not bad.

Lin Yanchen was not stupid, and immediately reacted. The notebook was meant to urge him to go on a blind date or get married.

Lin Yanchen had heard there was a classmate of his who liked a girl with a common family background. His parents didn’t think the girl’s background was good enough, and forbade him from marrying her, which led to fighting and caused a great mess.

Whatever, let’s take it slow and first introduce Chu Xun to Dad.

Old President Lin had been watching the expression on Lin Yanchen’s face fluctuating, and his heart was nervous. Because he was too nervous,he actually looked very solemn instead. “Did you find any to your taste?”

Lin Yanchen particularly disliked this manner of speaking his father used. It was as if he was looking for a mate. How did all this come about?

Lin Yanchen directly and explicitly refused. “It’s not polite to put it that way. Dad, don’t introduce me. I don’t have that kind of inclination. ”

Old President Lin’s heart missed a beat, but knew this time he might have overreached, so he didn’t force anything. “Alright, you are still young, it’s not something to worry about…”

If he couldn’t directly reveal Chu Xun, then he had to do things in a roundabout way.

Lin Yanchen had considered the possibility that his father would not easily accept Chu Xun so instead, he took out a project proposal he had stayed up all night to write. He intended to step into the field of electronic information technology which the company had yet to develop in depth, wanting to start a new company which will be located in Y City. Y City was now one of the top high-tech industrial areas in China.

This did not arouse Old President Lin’s suspicion. Electronic information technology was indeed the general trend in today’s market, but he was now older with a more stable disposition.

But he would let Lin Yanchen try.

In the past, he didn’t agree with Lin Yanchen’s entrepreneurial ventures. He felt Yan Yan was immature and impulsive. The young man thought of one thing and would rush in headfirst, filled with passion. At that time, several companies wanted to take over Lin Yanchen’s business. He thought, rather than let him be taken advantage of by others, it would be better for him to acquire the company.

Old President Lin read his son’s proposal carefully and approvingly said, “I think this could work. Try it. I’ll give you the starting capital.”

“I want to do it as soon as possible,” Lin Yanchen said. “Information technology progresses rapidly with each passing day. It changes too quickly.”

Old President Lin sensed there was something a bit wrong and asked, “So anxious?”

Lin Yanchen did not even blink. “This industry is just like this, you can’t wait. Then, if you agree, I’ll go recruit people and prepare everything. I’ll have to fly to Y City more often now. ”

Old President Lin was always watching Lin Yanchen. His intuition told him the child was hiding something from him.

Then he’d just wait and see.

At least the plan to be able to go to Y City could be considered half settled.

Lin Yanchen was very eager.

Lin Yanchen openly used official authority for his private interests. He had a clear conscience, and felt there was nothing wrong with this. Work-related affairs and private affairs could be handled together. There was no need to stress about choosing one over the other.

He thought about it and didn’t tell Chu Xun the good news in advance, instead prepared to give Chu Xun a pleasant surprise in a couple of days. Y City already had a branch office of theirs, but they didn’t do too much. He heard there was a charity reception on the weekend. Chu Xun’s company would attend it, and Chu Xun would most likely go. At that time, he would show up again and tell Chu Xun the good news.

Lin Yanchen felt that after they had reunited, Chu Xun was always very indifferent towards him. He wanted to create some romance from the spontaneity and rekindle the passion between them.

Lin Yanchen had the people of the branch company not add him to the list of attendees. At that time, he would just directly enter using the name of the branch company.

President Liu naturally brought his good apprentice to this kind of important occasion where one could network.

He had Chu Xun find out who would attend in advance. Although this was the usual work of a secretary, he wanted to use this opportunity to have Chu Xun understand the social scene here.

Chu Xun carefully investigated each one and prepared the information. This work was not hard, but it was also not easy. He could ask his subordinates for help with the research, but had to memorize it himself. Besides his day to day work, he had to go home after work to memorize the information, remembering their appearances, names and companies. Furthermore, he had to also understand the general situation of the other party’s family. All of this absolutely could not be confused, otherwise they might end up not just unable to network and make friends, but may instead create enemies.

It was nothing too technical, rather just retaining the sheer volume of information was taxing.

Chu Xun being forewarned, was forearmed.

On the day of the event, his master had him change into a better outfit before taking him there.

Chu Xun didn’t dress too well. He was only a secretary, and the subordinate should not outshine the superior.

Chu Xun went to these kinds of events a lot. He was calm and unhurried, following half a step after his master, who occasionally asked him if he knew who a certain person was. Chu Xun could answer with detailed information with just a glance.

President Liu nodded with satisfaction. There were a few he hadn’t interacted with yet, but Chu Xun could also properly report their information so that he would not be at a loss for words.

At this time, President Liu saw a new face he didn’t know when had appeared.

It was a young man, handsome and elegant, seemingly very disharmonious from the group of middle-aged uncles around him, like a crane shining amongst a flock of chickens.

The man looked a little familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere before. He thought about it, and quickly remembered.

Chu Xun probably didn’t know this person, so he shouldn’t have appeared here. President Liu was a little proud. He asked Chu Xun, “Do you know who he is?”

Chu Xun said, “…He was not on the list.”

President Liu told him, “Yes, I don’t know why he is here, but we can’t slight him. He completed that XX project a few days ago, and is the successor of the Lin group. There is definitely a reason why he appeared here. Maybe they have taken action in Y City recently. In any case, we must make a good relationship with him. Go, let’s go over there and chat with him. ”

“If I remember correctly, his name is Lin Yanchen. Remember this ah.”

Chu Xun was silent for a moment and said, “Master, I need to use the restroom.”

President Liu said, “Oh, go ahead, I’ll wait for you to come back.”

There was no one in the men’s room. Not long after Chu Xun entered, Lin Yanchen followed him in.

Lin Yanchen was so happy and excited that he wanted to hug him. “Ah Xun!”

Chu Xun, in a not so great mood, asked, “What are you doing in Y City?”
