Chapter 196: Chapter 196 We Knew Each Other Before

"You’ve made your decision so quickly?"

He really trusts her a lot!

Lin Qian stared at Chu Yelin, quickly saying, "Well, President Chu, I was just making a suggestion, you might want to think it over some more."

"I understand your concerns. Don’t worry, I’m not that rash."

Chu Yelin chuckled lightly, "Manager Lin, to be honest, Gu Group’s foreign trade does indeed have an excellent reputation, and it was already within my consideration. I just wanted to make my presence felt in front of Manager Lin, to make you remember my kindness. After all, didn’t the Gu family women just come to you for help? If I provide another option, you won’t have to be in a tough spot."

She really didn’t know how to respond to that.

It seemed like this man had been subtly flattering her ever since he appeared!

Why?

"Cough, uh, President Chu, have we met before?"

She didn’t think her charm was so great that it would interest a man she had only met once.

But his words and actions truly made one curious!

"Manager Lin, fate brings people together no matter how far apart they may be. We are fated to meet."

Chu Yelin said enigmatically, leaving Lin Qian even more puzzled.

The neon lights outside the car window refracted through the glass, casting a mysterious glow on his handsome face.

There was a certain mystery about him, elusive and unfathomable.

Lin Qian pursed her lips, not asking further.

The two sat in silence until the car stopped at Meili.

Once out of the car, Lin Qian led Chu Yelin inside.

The club was as lively as ever.

Throbbing music, weaving crowds, and dazzling lights crafted the nightscape.

Chen Fei’s caller ID showed up on her phone, and as Lin Qian led Chu Yelin forward, she answered the call.

On the phone, Chen Fei was asking if she had arrived yet, and told her that Chu Yelin hadn’t arrived.

Just as Lin Qian was about to speak, someone pulled her close by the waist.

"Be careful."

A low voice caressed her ear, a stranger’s scent enveloping her.

Lin Qian was slightly stunned, realizing she was in Chu Yelin’s embrace, just as a drunken passerby staggered by with a glass in hand, mumbling drunken words.

"President Chu and I are almost at the private room."

Lin Qian quickly hung up the phone and hastened out of Chu Yelin’s embrace.

"Uh, thank you."

The drunk had almost stumbled into her had Chu Yelin not pulled her away.

"No need for thanks."

Chu Yelin smirked, glanced at the crowd, and pulled her close again, "Come closer, be careful not to get bumped."

"Oh, okay."

Lin Qian tucked a stray hair behind her ear, navigated past a few passersby, then, smiling, pointed up, "The private room is on the second floor, we’re almost there."

"Alright, let’s go."

As they ascended the stairs, Chu Yelin gentlemanly stayed on the outside, shielding Lin Qian from other people.

Not far away, Nangong Li watched the ascending pair, his narrow peach blossom eyes squinting slightly.

Who was the man by Lin Qian’s side?

Could he be the high-level company leader she was supposed to meet?

Judging by his demeanor, was he good at winning women’s hearts?

Was he interested in pursuing Lin Qian?

Could Lin’s love life possibly be so active?

Nangong Li smirked, pulled out his phone, and dialed Yin Moran.

He had to relay this news to someone, to prepare them in advance!

In the private room, a group of employees had been waiting for a while, and they all stood up to welcome Lin Qian and Chu Yelin when they arrived.

"President Chu, please take a seat."

Du Qian pulled out the chair next to her, giggling as she motioned Chu Yelin to sit down.

She intentionally arranged Chu Yelin’s seat next to her own, with Chen Fei on the other side.

Chen Fei’s right was where Lin Qian was seated.

She didn’t want Lin Qian to sit next to Chu Yelin.

She was going to take the opportunity at the dinner table to reestablish a good relationship with Chu Yelin.

Chu Yelin, with his cool demeanor, glanced at the seats next to him and slightly opened his thin lips, "Manager Du, would you please swap your seat with Manager Lin? I still have some matters to discuss with Manager Lin."

That statement almost made Du Qian lose her smile.

She had dressed up specially tonight to catch Chu Yelin’s eye.

But now, Chu Yelin hadn’t even glanced at her and was asking her to give up her seat to Lin Qian.

What a slap in the face!

And Lin Qian was also incredibly awkward.

Du Qian was her supervisor, after all, but Chu Yelin, in front of so many employees, didn’t save any face for Du Qian. What did he mean by this?

Was he trying to establish her authority or just adding to her troubles?

Lin Qian pursed her lips, about to speak, when Chen Fei stood up, smiling and moving aside, "Manager Lin, this is your seat. You see, my bag is still on your seat."

Chen Fei, always tactful, quickly offered her seat seeing the tension.

This way, Du Qian did not have to move, and Lin Qian sat next to Chu Yelin.

Chu Yelin didn’t say anything further and pulled out Chen Fei’s chair, gentlemanly inviting Lin Qian to sit.

It felt as if Lin Qian were the protagonist of the day.

Everyone could see how much Chu Yelin valued Lin Qian.

After expressing her thanks, Lin Qian sat down and could distinctly feel the many glaring eyes on her.

Intense and dazzling.

Ah!

She didn’t want to attract so much attention.

But, he was her direct superior, and she had to entertain him warmly regardless.

Meanwhile, Du Qian took her seat, her smiling face now restrained.

Her ears were filled with the conversation between Lin Qian and Chu Yelin.

Chu Yelin hadn’t asked her a single question the entire time.

His attention was all on Lin Qian.

She felt like mere decoration here!

A surge of embarrassment and a sense of crisis welled up within her.

She was, after all, the regional manager. What did Chu Yelin mean by this?

Was he planning to promote Lin Qian out of turn?

What about her?

Could she still maintain her position as regional manager?

Du Qian watched the interaction between the two, clenching her fingers tightly.

Elsewhere, at Lijing Garden.

Chu Ziyang sat on the sofa looking at the tracking device on his phone, his black eyes flickering.

This phone belonged to Lin Zirui.

Before he left, he had switched his own phone with Lin Zirui’s phone.

Lin Zirui had mentioned to him that the phone had a tracking system for their mom.

He was eager to find out if his mom was with his dad.

No sooner had he thought it than he acted.

A hint of excitement flickered across Chu Ziyang’s youthful face as he slid off the sofa, grabbed his keys, changed his shoes, and opened the front door to head out.

Behind him, two men in black emerged from the corner, exchanged glances, and followed while reporting to Yin Moran.

On the other side of the phone, Yin Moran had just concluded a contract with Smith and was now resting his eyes in the back seat of a car driven by Han Chen.

The ringing of his phone woke him, his handsome brows slightly furrowing.

His phone had been ringing nonstop all afternoon.

Calls from clients, his daughter, Nangong Li...

Who could it be calling now?

He picked up his phone, saw it was his bodyguard, and sat up straight.

"What’s the matter?"

"Boss, Young Master Lin has left the house."
