Chapter 3075: He Will Never Come Again

When Lin Yi left, he had already paved the way for An Ning in her career.

At this point, she was already the third in command here.

At the beginning, the work was very difficult, but An Ning's indomitable character and her work ability quickly won the recognition of her colleagues. Despite her young age, everyone respected her.

And the lady in the mailroom, when talking to her, naturally had to politely call her "leader."

This had nothing to do with age; it was a matter of workplace etiquette and rules.

"Wang Jie, we're not at the office now, so there's no need to be so formal," An Ning said casually. Unlike others who often put on airs, this was one of the main reasons she won recognition.

"Okay, okay," the lady said politely.

"Just now, a particularly handsome young man came looking for you. I told him you were on maternity leave, so he left."

"Particularly handsome young man?"

An Ning was taken aback on the other end of the phone.

Her social circle was very narrow. Apart from her colleagues at work, the rest were a few close friends she had grown up with.

The men she could come into contact with in her life, besides relatives, were her colleagues at work. It was unlikely that any other men would come looking for her.

"Could he be from another unit? Did he say why he was looking for me?" An Ning asked.

"He didn't say. I told him you were on maternity leave, so he left."

The lady recalled the scene and said, "But from his accent, he seemed to be from the south, not a local."

"From the south, a man, and very good-looking..."

An Ning muttered to herself and suddenly fell silent.

"Leader?"

"Wang Jie, let's add each other on WeChat. I'll send you a photo, and you can see if it's him."

"Okay, okay."

The lady in the mailroom eagerly agreed. Having the chance to add her leader on WeChat was an opportunity she couldn't miss.

Soon, they added each other as friends, and An Ning sent her a photo.

"Yes, yes, it's him," the lady replied on WeChat.

"Thank you, Wang Jie. I know what's going on."

"Leader, you're too polite. It's not a big deal. If he comes again, I'll let you know."

"No need. He won't come again."

Although they hadn't been together for long, An Ning understood Lin Yi's character.

If she were still single and he couldn't find her, he might call or come over to catch up.

But now that he knew she was married and had children, he wouldn't come again.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be Lin Yi.

...

Holding a roasted sweet potato, Lin Yi walked down the snow-covered street.

Although he didn't see her, he felt that such behavior was very much in An Ning's style.

A straightforward and decisive Northeastern girl, bold in love and hate, truly admirable.

And she even had twins, a real winner in life.

"Since I missed the wedding, I should give her something."

Muttering to himself, Lin Yi hailed a taxi.

"Where to, young man?" the driver asked warmly.

"Driver, what's the best housing complex here?"

"The best? That would be Fuli Bay. I heard it costs over 40,000 per square meter, a real luxury place."

"Alright, let's go there."

"Sure thing."

After about twenty minutes, they arrived at the Fuli Bay sales office.

On the way, Lin Yi took in the local scenery.

As one of the wealthiest cities in the past, despite the slowdown in economic development in recent years and not performing as strongly as other cities, the city's strong foundation still couldn't be underestimated.

Especially the European-style buildings on both sides of the streets made it feel like being abroad.

The unique foreign charm was something even Zhonghai couldn't match.

Getting out of the car, Lin Yi held two roasted sweet potatoes and glanced at the sales office.

The entire building was made of opaque glass, making it impossible to see inside from the outside, giving it a very high-end feel.

This detail alone proved the high-end nature of the place.

Pushing the door open, a wave of warmth greeted him.

The brightly lit lobby also highlighted the uniqueness of the place.

Since it was a high-end residential area, and it was early in the morning on a workday, there weren't many people in the sales center, just a few scattered individuals, most of whom were staff.

As soon as Lin Yi entered, he immediately caught the attention of the salespeople.

But upon seeing his attire, their enthusiasm instantly waned, and they had no intention of serving him.

"Carrying roasted sweet potatoes in here, does he think this is a mall?"

A male salesperson with short hair and glasses muttered impatiently.

"Probably someone waiting for the bus who couldn't find a ride and came in to warm up."

"The problem is, even if he's just warming up, he should find a more appropriate place. This is Fuli Bay, and most people don't have the nerve to come in here."

"Maybe he's just a social butterfly. I don't think it's necessary to pay attention to him."

"I agree. It's not worth wasting time on him."

"Hey, hey, hey, are you two jealous? Why are you so critical of him?"

The speaker was a tall young woman, wearing a black OL uniform and black high heels.

Her tall figure, straight nose, and oval face made her stand out among the other female salespeople.

"It has nothing to do with jealousy. Just from his attire and the fact that he's carrying two roasted sweet potatoes, it's clear he's just here to warm up and can't afford a house here."

"Who cares if he can buy a house? He's handsome, and it's a pleasure to look at."

"Tingting, you can't let your head be clouded by love. It's easy to be deceived," the male salesperson with glasses said.

"This has nothing to do with being clouded by love. I'm just a face fanatic," Zhao Ting said, raising her head.

"I should go and greet him. Maybe I can get his WeChat, and love will come."

"But the problem is, your performance is at the bottom. You should use your time more effectively."

"Whether I'm at the bottom or not doesn't matter. My family isn't short of money. My father just wants me to come here to pass the time."

Poverty breeds cunning, and wealth fosters integrity.

Zhao Ting was that kind of person.

Growing up in a wealthy family, she had never worried about money, so when making decisions, she always followed her own preferences and didn't prioritize profit like others.

Straightening her clothes, Zhao Ting walked over to Lin Yi.

"Sir, are you here to look at houses?"

Although she knew Lin Yi couldn't afford a house in Fuli Bay, as a staff member, she still needed to lay the groundwork before asking for his contact information.

Lin Yi nodded and said, "Yes, I'm here to look at houses."
