063 Mission

Tang Long was doing this for Lin Qi’s sake.

He, along with the rest of their group, was terrified that Lin Qi might encounter even the slightest mishap.

They all fervently hoped that Lin Qi would remain safe, well-behaved, and free from any trouble or turmoil.

Let the dangerous tasks and the charge into battle be left to them.

They were determined to escort their young master back to the capital, and to rescue Old Master Lin.

This was their shared wish.

Each one of them had once received immense kindness from Old Master Lin.

Without him, they would have been dead long ago.

Therefore, for the sake of reviving the Lin family, they were willing to lay down their lives without hesitation!

That was why they did not wish for Lin Qi to suffer even the smallest problem.

Lin Qi understood this reasoning as well.

But watching everyone else strive and fight while he idled away his days doing nothing, Lin Qi couldn’t help but feel uncomfortable.

What could possibly come out of delivering takeout every day?

On the surface, Lin Qi agreed to Tang Long’s request, but deep down he had other ideas.

Since Song Qingzhu hadn’t recognized him, why not continue making contact?

If Song Qingzhu truly belonged to “that side,” wouldn’t this be a good opportunity to probe her intentions?

Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will be victorious in every battle.

Lin Qi held the Mercedes key in his hand, lost in thought, plotting his next move...

In the end, he took out the business card Song Qingzhu had given him yesterday and dialed her number.

He put on a casual, cheeky tone and said, “President Song, where are you? I’m coming to deliver your car.”

“I’m already at the company,” Song Qingzhu replied coldly. “Bring the car to the base of Jinyang Group’s building. I’ll have Secretary Zhou come down to collect the keys.”

He had hoped to see Song Qingzhu in person, but it seemed that wouldn’t be possible.

“Alright,” Lin Qi agreed.

Twenty minutes later, Lin Qi drove the car to the front of Jinyang Group’s building.

The security guard immediately let him through when he saw Song Qingzhu’s car.

Lin Qi called Song Qingzhu again.

Soon, Secretary Zhou came downstairs.

“Mr. Lin, thank you for your trouble,” Secretary Zhou said with a broad smile as he took the car keys.

He had met Lin Qi at Song Qingzhu’s villa yesterday.

Although he didn’t know what Lin Qi’s background was, the fact that Song Qingzhu had invited him to her home meant he was certainly not an ordinary person.

So Secretary Zhou was especially warm and welcoming.

“It’s no trouble. Is President Song busy?” Lin Qi asked casually.

“Yes, she’s quite busy...” Secretary Zhou replied politely. “Mr. Lin, would you like to come up for some tea?”

“Of course,” Lin Qi answered without hesitation.

Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

Right now, he was eager to have more contact with Song Qingzhu.

Secretary Zhou didn’t dare be negligent, immediately inviting Lin Qi upstairs and courteously following behind him.

“Secretary Zhou!” Just as the two were about to enter the building, a man in a suit hurried over.

“And you are...?” Secretary Zhou frowned slightly.

“I’m Supervisor Wei from the branch office’s design department. I saw you and wanted to say hello,” the man replied, bowing obsequiously and nodding eagerly.

A mere supervisor from the branch office didn’t warrant Secretary Zhou’s attention.

Secretary Zhou merely gave a faint “mm,” then turned to Lin Qi with a smile. “Mr. Lin, let’s go.”

“Alright,” Lin Qi replied, striding inside. Dressed in casual attire, he exuded an air of wealth and status, looking every bit the important figure.

It was only natural—having been born to a noble family, Lin Qi had always looked down on ordinary people, carrying himself with an air of arrogance.

“Take care, Secretary Zhou...” Supervisor Wei continued bowing, all the while stealing several glances at Lin Qi.

He didn’t know who Lin Qi was, but he made a point to remember his face.

Anyone who could be accompanied by Secretary Zhou—and treated so courteously—was certainly not someone ordinary!

Remembering Lin Qi’s face might bring benefits in the future.

That was the way of the world for a middle manager like him.

Longyue Group, a certain branch office.

Inside the manager’s office.

“Supervisor Luo, take this design proposal to Supervisor Wei at Jinyang Group. Make sure they adopt our plan—it will be very helpful for our follow-up work,” Manager Bu said seriously. “Jinyang Group is no small matter; their scale is on par with ours. If you can land this, everyone will be convinced of your abilities. If you can’t, you’ll remain a regular staff member and someone else will be promoted to supervisor.”

Longyue Group and Jinyang Group frequently competed and cooperated on various projects.

For example, the project Luo Feifei was currently handling was a collaboration—the two sides were jointly building a shopping mall.

Whichever side’s design proposal was chosen, it would naturally benefit that company’s operations—many of the building materials and labor could then be sourced from Longyue Group itself.

“Manager Bu, I guarantee I’ll complete the task!” Luo Feifei replied with firm resolve.
