Obsessive Tycoon and His Swan Girl
Chapter 86 - 86 86 You Are Just the Right Person

Chapter 86: Chapter 86: You Are Just the Right Person Chapter 86: Chapter 86: You Are Just the Right Person “I think you’re just the right person,” Lin Huaiyuan said, suppressing his excitement. He was sure he couldn’t be wrong; Jiang Zhe understood with just one look, so her talent must be far above his own.

Missing out on such talent would be a tremendous loss for the research institute and something he would regret for the rest of his life.

He almost pleaded as he asked, “Jiang Zhe, won’t you consider it?”

“I won’t consider it,” Jiang Zhe refused without a second thought.

Lin Huaiyuan felt no anger at the outright refusal, only the regret of being turned down.

He couldn’t help but shake his head silently, “Xiaozhe, your talent for dealing with these…”

“I just dealt with it casually,” Jiang Zhe pulled out two more Cai’er and said, “I really don’t know what these things are.”

She looked up, her eyes clear and open, as if she truly didn’t understand what he was talking about.

Seeing that she didn’t seem to be lying, could it be that she truly made these things unintentionally?

Completely unaware of the underlying principles?

Thinking back to the conversation he had with Director Han, and hearing about Jiang Zhe’s below-par academic performance, he had no choice but to believe her words.

Xia Enci intervened, “Cousin, Xiaozhe has always enjoyed her freedom. Don’t constrain her.”

Lin Huaiyuan thought it made sense; if she really didn’t enjoy the atmosphere of the research institute, then that place wouldn’t suit Jiang Zhe.

Letting go of his previous thought, he relaxed and said, “Then I’ll respect Xiaozhe’s wishes. By the way, what schools are you planning to apply to in the future?”

Xia Enci said, “I might just go to a sports college. I think being a sports teacher or something would be quite nice.”

Song Xingyu shrugged, “I used to want to study abroad, but now I think it’s pretty good to develop here in our country. I feel like if I keep going like this, getting into an ordinary second-tier university shouldn’t be a problem.”

Four-Eyes nodded along.

Xiao Meng said embarrassedly, “I’ve set my sights on the music academy.”

“I’ve heard about it,” Lin Huaiyuan smiled, noticing that Jiang Zhe had been silent, he knew her academic performance was a bit lackluster, and decided he would have to find her some workbooks later.

After all, attending a better school would only be better for the future of a young girl.

After dinner, when everyone was leaving, Lin Huaiyuan intentionally lagged behind to walk with Jiang Zhe.

He said softly, “I’m sorry about earlier, I shouldn’t have mentioned your uncle and aunt.”

“It’s nothing,” Jiang Zhe shook her head, her eyes devoid of emotion, “It’s all in the past.”

“Do you… have anything you want to know? About your uncle and aunt.”

Jiang Zhe’s parents had passed away when she was not even two years old.

Afterward, the Jiang Family rarely mentioned them again.

Xia Enci was even younger than Jiang Zhe and knew nothing about it.

But Lin Huaiyuan, a few years older, remembered the traumatic car accident that took her uncle and aunt.

Since Jiang Zhe returned, she had never asked about these events or inquired about the Jiang Family’s members or social connections.

Lin Huaiyuan was worried she might not be able to reconcile with herself, harboring unresolved feelings, and he had planned on having a good talk with her.

However, Jiang Zhe seemed much more carefree than he had imagined, not at all troubled by these things.

The moment after Lin Huaiyuan asked, he immediately regretted being nosy.

Jiang Zhe looked up calmly, her fox-like eyes filled with sincere gratitude, infusing her usually enchanting gaze with pure innocence.

Jiang Zhe spoke up, “Thank you, cousin. If needed, I’ll come to ask you next time.”

“Okay.” With such a pair of eyes looking at him, all of Lin Huaiyuan’s emotions had calmed down.

He called out to Xia Enci and the others walking ahead, “I’ll take you guys back.”

Jiang Zhe glanced at the message that had come in on his phone and said, “You all go ahead, a friend has asked me out for something.”

She picked up her bag, her eyebrows and eyes drooping slightly, began typing a reply, and headed in the opposite direction.

Xia Enci, fearing Lin Huaiyuan would worry, said, “Don’t worry, cousin. Xiaozhe knows what she’s doing.”

Jiang Zhe got on the bus, the night air was somewhat cool, and the air conditioning hadn’t been turned on yet; she didn’t mind and casually chose a seat to sit down.

Another message came in on her phone.

It was from Jiang Yunxuan.

“Sister, I heard you met our cousin. He’s pretty awesome, isn’t he? Do you have his contact information?”

The corners of Jiang Zhe’s lips curled into a cold smile. The Jiang Family was too much, even using their most beloved son’s phone without permission.

She had blocked that whole family, but she couldn’t bring herself to block Jiang Yunxuan. However, this message was just too low-level.

…

Using Jiang Yunxuan’s phone, Liang Jinlan sent a message to Jiang Zhe, and sure enough, received no reply.

She was so angry that she threw the phone aside.

Jiang Fanyue, afraid of saying the wrong thing and revealing the fact that she had avoided seeing Lin Huaiyuan, didn’t say anything, just busied herself pouring tea and water.

Gu Jiaheng came over with his phone, “Auntie, I’ve looked into Jiang Yaowang’s situation. Aside from this Lin Huaiyuan, he doesn’t have any other social connections.”

Jiang Fanyue, on the other hand, breathed a sigh of relief. Given her attitude towards Jiang Yaowang last time, this outcome was for the best.

Otherwise, if Jiang Yaowang had even more resources and connections on his side, they would probably all be Jiang Zhe’s and would never come her way.

“Such a pity about this Lin Huaiyuan, being bewitched by Jiang Zhe. It seems Fanyue also has no destiny with him,” Liang Jinlan said regretfully.

“I heard he’s returning to Beijing tomorrow. It seems he hasn’t chosen any suitable students this time. Missing this opportunity, Fanyue still has other chances,” Gu Jiaheng also breathed a sigh of relief. Not selecting Jiang Fanyue or anyone else didn’t seem like a bad outcome to him.

Liang Jinlan said to Gu Jiaheng, “Jiaheng, we’ll still need to ask you to speak kindly of us to Director Song when the time comes.”

“Director Song?” Gu Jiaheng’s eyes lit up.

“His son is in the unlabeled class, and since Fanyue has good grades, naturally, the relationship isn’t too good. I had a few words with him today.”

Upon hearing this, Gu Jiaheng understood instantly. Liang Jinlan detested students with poor grades, and when encountering those from the unlabeled class, she’d inevitably look down on them, which was normal.

Grades might not mean everything, but who doesn’t like students with good grades?

However, the events of the day had left him rather frazzled.

As he left the Jiang residence, he saw the incoming call and had to answer respectfully, “Lu Wen.”

“Gu Jiaheng, are you playing me? Do you think the information from the Pharmaceutical Research Institute is that easy to obtain? I gave it to you, and you couldn’t even secure it? I heard you didn’t even manage to exchange words with him?”

“I’m sorry, Lu Wen. Things were indeed a bit hasty today…”

“Didn’t you say that in Jincheng, you could talk anywhere? I was counting on you to host the senior researcher properly and then turn around and set up connections for me. What kind of work is this?”

“I’m truly sorry, Lu Wen. I really didn’t handle this matter well.”

His apology was sincere, and after a few complaints, Lu Wen hung up directly.
