Chapter 106: Chapter 106 Many Zeros1

Lin Zhenxin got out of the car in confusion and walked into the bank...

Today, the bank was particularly crowded.

Lin Zhenxin first took a number from the staff, saw that there were more than ten people waiting ahead, and went straight to the ATM.

She took out the card Li Yanan gave her and inserted it.

First, she withdrew two thousand, and then recalled the conversation with Li Yanan before getting off the car.

—When you withdraw the money later, you can check the balance.

Lin Zhenxin paused for a moment, then clicked on the balance inquiry option.

Soon, a string of numbers appeared on the screen.

She wasn’t prepared at all, but as a series of zeros flashed before her eyes, they widened.

Counting from the very end to the front, when she confirmed the amount of that number...

Lin Zhenxin directly ejected the card!

She was shaken!

Dazed, she walked back to the waiting area and sat down, unable to recover for a long time.

Li Yanan, he...

What on earth does he do?

By the time everything was settled, it was half an hour later.

As she got in the car, Lin Zhenxin didn’t even fasten her seatbelt, just kept looking at Li Yanan.

"Did you look?" Li Yanan asked.

Lin Zhenxin nodded, then took the card he gave her out of her bag and handed it back to him.

"You better keep it yourself; if I lose it, I can’t afford to pay it back."

Li Yanan didn’t take it, just looked at her with his deep eyes, as if thinking about something.

Lin Zhenxin’s mind was still racing with those endless zeros at the beginning of the number.

"You really don’t want it?" Li Yanan looked at her with his captivating eyes, unblinking.

Lin Zhenxin shook her head resolutely; she didn’t want it!

Li Yanan didn’t say anything, but just pressed the window down into the car body and quickly took the card from Lin Zhenxin’s hand...

With a crack, the crisp sound seemed to signify something!

Lin Zhenxin didn’t have time to stop him and watched helplessly as the card split in two in Li Yanan’s hand!

Then, it was thrown outside the car by Li Yanan!

"Are you crazy?" Without thinking, Lin Zhenxin opened the door and got out of the car, ran to his side, and looked at the ground...

What was broken wasn’t a bank card?

It was a gym membership card!

Looking back into the car, wasn’t the card Li Yanan was holding just now the bank card she handed to him?

His hand speed was so fast that she didn’t even see him swap the two cards!

"If you don’t want it, it’s just a useless card. What’s useless has no value in my eyes, and you saw its fate!"

Li Yanan spoke slowly, resting his elbow where the window withdrew, looking at her with a hint of a smile.

Lin Zhenxin was speechless at Li Yanan’s words!

In fact, she was completely stunned by his actions!

That card was extended out of the window again, offered to Lin Zhenxin.

Whether to take it or not was no longer about her willingness, but about whether he would accept it.

"Li Yanan, what do you actually do?"

Lin Zhenxin looked at him, her eyes full of complexity.

"Really want to know?" Li Yanan smiled.

Lin Zhenxin nodded but quickly shook her head again.

"Forget it, you better not tell me." She tried to calm herself down, got back into the car, and buckled her seatbelt.

"Why do I feel like I’m looking at a sly old fox now?"

Just before driving off, Li Yanan heard Lin Zhenxin mumble softly.

He chuckled softly; Lin Zhenxin wasn’t the first to say that, and of course...

She definitely wouldn’t be the last...

Lin Zhenxin went to the radio station a few hours early to prepare for recording a backup tape.

She hadn’t told her other colleagues, except for Sister Wang, about her leave request.

Moreover, due to her strained relationship with Xiao Shen, it was difficult for her to work with her colleagues.

After an unknown amount of time, Lin Zhenxin came out of the live studio and walked toward the office.

It was still before office hours, and the corridor was empty.

Just as she reached the office door, she heard someone making a phone call; it was Xiao Shen’s voice.

Why did she come so early, and for what purpose?

Lin Zhenxin remained cautious, deciding not to rush in immediately. It felt strange and potentially awkward.

But as she listened, she found something off.

Through a subtle crack in the door, she noticed Xiao Shen standing at her desk, searching for something!

With a bang, Lin Zhenxin pushed the door open directly.

Perhaps guilty of being caught, Xiao Shen shivered, even dropping the phone clamped between her shoulder and ear onto the floor.

Upon closer look, the screen was shattered.

"What are you looking for?" Lin Zhenxin asked calmly, gazing at Xiao Shen with her clear eyes, not too warm nor too cold.

"I... I... um..." Xiao Shen stammered, her face turning pale.

Lin Zhenxin walked step by step to Xiao Shen, crouched down, and picked up the phone with the broken screen.

The person on the other end had already hung up, but the record couldn’t lie. Glancing inadvertently, the call log popped up.

The topmost entry...

Was Shelley!

Xiao Shen, shocked from being caught at first, snapped out of it and snatched her phone away, holding her head high.

Clearly, she was adopting an "unfazed attitude."

Lin Zhenxin’s peripheral vision fell on her own desk, which she always kept locked. What was Xiao Shen searching for?

"I’ll ask you again, what are you looking for?" Lin Zhenxin’s aura suddenly became strong.

If anyone familiar with Li Yanan saw her at this moment, they would surely exclaim that the two spouses were practically cut from the same mold.

Xiao Shen remained silent, adhering to the principle that the more you say, the more mistakes you make.

"Because of that house, you have been dissatisfied with me. About the interview last time, I could turn a blind eye, but now, I don’t want to be constantly pointed at by a thief!"

Now, there were only the two of them in the spacious office.

Even their voices echoed.

"You still have the nerve to talk to me about the house?"

"Compared to marriage, I’ve been married longer than you! In terms of seniority, I’m more experienced than you! Why was the house assigned to you?"

Xiao Shen’s anger seemed completely ignited, her voice sharp and piercing.

"So you teamed up with Shelley to plot against me?" Lin Zhenxin decided to lay it all out.

She finally understood that keeping things hidden would only push matters to a more embarrassing situation!

Previously, Lin Zhenxin didn’t want to get involved with the office’s cliques, and avoided engaging in them.

It wasn’t that she was aloof, it was just that the depth of these matters was too much, and she didn’t have the time or energy to handle them.

Fortunately, Sister Wang genuinely cared for her, hand-holding through everything.

Her reluctance to join others’ circles prominently resulted in her being excluded from small cliques. Although everyone seemed harmonious on the surface, real issues always led to complications holding her back!

Lin Zhenxin truly entered these small circles only after Li Yanan’s meal invitation at Yunjing.

In the eyes of similar people, Li Yanan might not be good enough, but to colleagues, Li Yanan still belonged to the Li Family!

What is the Li Family?

One of the top-notch aristocratic families in J City!

And what is an aristocratic family?

A place they gossip about but could never reach in their lifetime!

Even a thin, dead camel is bigger than a horse, right?

"Do you want to know why that house wasn’t assigned to you?" Lin Zhenxin suddenly calmed down, finding it quite meaningless.

Xiao Shen narrowed her eyes, her anger surging up.

Sure enough, it was related to Lin Zhenxin!

She knew it!

"A year and a half ago, at the station’s year-end party, you were following Shelley, and a new intern accidentally spilled wine on you!"

"Do you remember?"

Lin Zhenxin sighed, reminding her.

This was also something Sister Wang later told her; she was always spot-on when it came to the station’s intricate social web.

As Lin Zhenxin reminded her, Xiao Shen instantly remembered.

Back then, because of the wine spilled on her, she didn’t care about the important occasion and berated the intern.

"What are you trying to say? That I didn’t consider the occasion, so I ended up on the blacklist of certain people?"

Lin Zhenxin looked deeply at Xiao Shen.

"That young lady’s aunt is the director responsible for this house allocation."

Over the years, Xiao Shen had been diligently working, being clever at times, but never making big mistakes.

Yet, precisely because of this, she remained stuck in her current position.

Unable to move up.

Because she couldn’t widen her vision!

Xiao Shen’s eyes widened in disbelief; she couldn’t believe she was sabotaged by her own actions.

"You think I’ll believe what you’re saying?" She preferred to believe it was because of Lin Zhenxin’s connections rather than her own doing!

Lin Zhenxin instantly understood the meaning behind Xiao Shen’s words.

Well, ordinary people, when making mistakes, often don’t want to first find fault in themselves.

Instead, they instinctively pin all the blame on someone else.

This is the inherent flaw in human nature!

"I’ve already told you what I know; believe it or not, it’s up to you! Also, let me tell you, any important things are not kept in the office by me, so looking for them would be in vain!" Lin Zhenxin coldly replied.

Lin Zhenxin, although appearing to get along with everyone on the surface, was actually very guarded.

So everything was meticulously safeguarded, and that’s why Xiao Shen found nothing despite searching for so long!

"You..." Xiao Shen, hearing this, instinctively felt that Lin Zhenxin was mocking her!

She suddenly turned hysterical and grabbed the neatly stacked files on Lin Zhenxin’s desk, ready to throw them at her!

The hallway grew noisier, and suddenly, the office door was pushed open.

Others entered laughing and chatting, but when they saw this scene, they were all shocked and fell silent!

Lin Zhenxin, instinctively turned back, didn’t have time to dodge; the files rained down on her!

Being provoked by Xiao Shen, Lin Zhenxin’s temper flared up as well!

"Go ahead, throw another one!" Lin Zhenxin rapidly approached Xiao Shen, who still held a stack in her hands.
