Chapter 26 – Visiting Her Home Part 2

When Zu Jin woke up the next day, she sat up with dishevelled hair and felt a dull headache. She really drank a lot last night.

She struggled to take a shower, but fortunately she finally regained her energy when she came out.

She sat at the vanity to put her skin care products on. Zu Xiaofei ran in with a file.

“Mommy, daddy asked me to give you this.”

Zu Jin took it and flipped through it. In the next second, her brows furrowed into a frown.

“Where’s your dad? Tell him to come over.”

Zu Xiaofei seemed to be frightened by her tone. Her big, round and clever eyes looked away, and then she immediately ran away to pass on Zu Jin’s message.

After a while, Yan Lin came up. Zu Jin asked, “Who sent this document?”

“A person named Bai Qing said she is from the Lidao Group. Her boss asked her to give it to you.”

“Lidao? Are you sure you remember correctly?”

Yan Lin asked, “What’s the matter?”

Zu Jin looked at him in the mirror and said, “I have not heard of this group before. Have you?”

“No.”

“Then how does her boss know where I live?”

Zu Jin muttered out loud as she applied the last step to her skin care routine on her face. Afterwards, she picked up the document and read through it again.

“Isn’t this the economic report on the domestic science and technology industry last year that can be downloaded on the Internet for free? Didn’t you see it when you accepted it?”

Yan Lin stood behind her and her hands flipped through it again.

He was silent for a while before he stated, “This Bai Qing is the woman who sat with us on the high-speed train.”

Zu Xiaofei stood by and said in a pure voice, “That’s the beautiful sister in the white dress!”

Zu Jin’s expression suddenly became strange, and she smiled at Yan Lin in the mirror.

“It’s easier for you to search up someone’s information. Please check it for me and see which direction this is heading towards.”

Yan Lin hugged her and asked, “Have you offended someone again?”

Zu Jin shrugged her shoulders. “I have offended many people, but this is the first one who dares to come to my door!”

It was so baffling that someone found out where she lived. Zu Jin didn’t say much in front of Yan Lin, but her face turned cold as soon as she got into the car.

After coming to Xishui, Zu Jin did not go to her office. Instead, she went to Xu Tianqing.

Without waiting for his secretary to notify him, she pushed his doors open and went in.

The faint fragrance of tea could be smelled. Xu Tianqing was drinking tea with two management leaders.

The two leaders saw her come in and quickly greeted, “President Jin.”

Meanwhile, Xu Tianqing smiled and said, “Come in. A can of good tea has just been opened here. Try it.”

Zu Jin sat down next to him and chatted with him about some matters regarding the company for a long time.

When the two leaders returned to their work, she handed the documents she carried over to Xu Tianqing.

“Someone went to my house and asked my husband to give this to me. She claims it was from a company called the Lidao Group. Have you ever heard of it?”

Xu Tianqing muttered to himself for a few seconds and shook his head. “No, this is… last year’s report. What does she mean by that?”

Zu Jin rolled her eyes and said, “How would I know? But since they found out where I live, I think this person is looking for trouble. Please look into it secretly and don’t let it become public.”

“Okay.” Xu Tianqing put the document aside and suddenly burst out into laughter.

“Did your husband get scared when he knew? Did you comfort him?”

Ever since Xu Tianqing knew that Zu Jin had found a husband who worked full-time as a homemaker, he would joke about it as soon as he found an opportunity to do so.

At first, Zu Jin would defend Yan Lin, but a male chauvinist man like Xu Tianqing could never accept this family model of a man being in charge of what was inside the home and a woman being in charge of what was outside of the home. No matter how she explained it to him, it was useless.

Later, she just didn’t care about what Xu Tianqing had to say.

Instead of putting up with his words, Zu Jin got up and went to the door. “Check quickly, but don’t make a move when you’re done. Let’s discuss it first.”

”I got it. Do you think I am that stupid?!”

“Do you have to ask?” Zu Jin insulted him and closed the door at once.

After Zu Jin returned to her office, Xia Tong happened to come over with her pregnant belly.

When Zu Jin left Qiyu, Xia Tong insisted on following her wherever she went. As one of Zu Jin’s confidants, she gave Xia Tong a more challenging job.

Xia Tong was currently the Assistant Director of the Marketing Department in Xishui and could almost assume responsibility for the whole department.

While working there, she tied the knot with the Marketing Director. She was married for half a year before her belly grew.

”Jin Jie, I went to a workshop yesterday and came across Ji Shiyu! What do you think happened to her?”

Zu Jin said, “When she saw how happy you are, she must have been miserable, right?”

Xia Tong gave a forced giggled. “She actually wasn’t that miserable, but she doesn’t look as confident as she used to be. But she’s also so skinny that it’s scary. There’s no light in her eyes when she stands there. That kind of lifeless feeling is so frightening.”

“Did she see you?”

“I don’t think so. What can she do if she sees me? It’s impossible for us to have anything to say to each other.”

Three years ago, half of Ji Desheng’s shares were transferred to Ji Shiyu. Afterwards, he settled down abroad.

Then, Zu Jin also sold her shares and started a new venture.

Under the new president’s leadership, Qiyu Corporation went from being a rising star to a rotten fish that no one cared about.

Ji Shiyu wanted to sell her shares like Zu Jin and get out of Qiyu. However, this was naturally not so easy anymore.

She had been at Qiyu for the past two years. She was probably exhausted by the power struggles and troubles from every level.

That’s why it was not hard to imagine her current situation.

Xia Tong left soon after she finished gossiping.

However, Zu Jin sat in the office alone and sighed.

To speak truthfully, she was relieved about the disagreements from three years ago.

Ultimately, Ji Desheng treated her with kindness, and it was impossible for her to cut all ties.

Back then, she promised Ji Desheng that she would protect Ji Shiyu.

Now that she had learned about Ji Shiyu’s situation, was she going to lend a hand?
