The call was quickly connected and a noisy sound was heard.

Lin Man moved her lips and then said, "Mr. Ji...are you free now?"

Lin Man's voice was a little weak. She knew that Ji Ze must be very busy during this period. Pei Yan had placed people in important core positions in the Ji Group. Now that he was withdrawn, he would be very busy.

It seemed that Pei Yan didn't want to leave Ji Ze free.

Sometimes Lin Man even felt that Pei Yan had returned Ji Shi to Ji Ze so easily for this very purpose. He was busy himself and couldn't bear to see Ji Ze sitting idle.

The noisy sound on the other end of the phone gradually weakened until it was completely quiet, and then Ji Ze's voice was heard. His tone was hoarse and his throat seemed a little tired.

“I’m free, what’s wrong?

Are you in trouble?"

Lin Man felt a little sad for some reason when she heard this. She hummed and said, "I want to ask you for help with something."

Upon hearing this, Ji Ze was silent for a moment, and his voice was steady and powerful.

"wait for me."

When Lin Man went downstairs, she saw Ji Ze's cool convertible parked downstairs. He was leaning gently against the car door, the sun shining on his shirt, and the wind blowing through his hair that was reflected by the light and turned golden. He looked like the big brother next door in school.

Seeing Lin Man, he stood up and took the bag from her hand. Looking at the papers stuffed inside, he chuckled, "Why did you take so many things?"

Lin Man's chubby cheeks looked a little discouraged, and her cherry-red lips were mumbling like a wounded deer.

A blooming crabapple tree has gone through wind and rain, never willing to let anyone see the fragility beneath its strong heart, but at this moment it reveals a little bit of it.

“I don’t know what to bring.”

She raised her eyes to look at Ji Ze, the dazzling sun made it harder for her to open her eyes.

Upon hearing this, Ji Ze took out a piece of paper from the bag that Lin Man brought, scanned the paper quickly, and put away the cynical smile on his face.

He said, "Get in the car first."

Lin Man nodded and stuffed a small cookie into his mouth.

When Ji Ze finished reading the information and documents in Lin Man's hand, he turned around and saw Lin Man, with puffy cheeks and a thoughtful look on his face, staring straight ahead.

A helpless smile appeared at the corner of his lips.

He took some more food from the car and placed it on Lin Man’s lap.

"That's all I have. Go do some work first and I'll bring you dinner when I come back."

Lin Man came back to her senses, but before she could react, Ji Ze stepped on the accelerator and drove away.

Ji Ze doesn't have a driver. He usually likes to drive himself. Lin Man has ridden in Ji Ze's car several times. He always seeks stability, just like everyone else, and doesn't like to fight for things. But today he drove very fast and put away his usual humility.

The car slowly stopped, Ji Ze pushed the door and got out, "Wait for me here."

Lin Man looked at Ji Ze's back, pushed away the snacks on her lap, and insisted on going with him.

She sat on the bench in front of the window, watching Ji Ze's back as he walked forward to negotiate.

It seems that he has two faces. He has one face when he is working and another face in private.

Rigorous and thoughtful, yet also cynical and unpredictable.

Lin Man waited for a long time and her phone ran out of battery.

Ji Ze's body was still straight. He rolled up his sleeves and sat on the chair in front of the window. He took the list in his hand and checked it with the staff one by one.

Many of the bills and documents were unclear, so he got up and called to check them himself. His assistant ran back and forth in the hall several times before finally completing all the procedures.

The sky gradually darkened. Lin Man got up and bought two cups of coffee. When she came back, she saw Ji Ze coming out with documents.

It started to drizzle, Lin Man opened an umbrella and handed the coffee in her hand to Ji Ze.

Ji Ze lowered his eyes and looked at the coffee in front of him for a long time. He reached out to take it and handed the document in his hand to Lin Man.

Lin Man opened the folder and took out a detailed list from it.

His eyes were slightly surprised, "So much money?"

Tens, hundreds, thousands, millions….

Ji Ze raised his head and took a sip of coffee, then took the umbrella from Lin Man and held it for both of them.

"Well, this matter could be big or small. To be on the safe side, I checked your accounts for the past ten years, and it is true that only the accounts during this period have problems.

The role you auditioned for was not a verbal breach of contract on your part, but a breach of contract after someone signed the contract on your behalf. The account arising from this will be charged to you.

I paid eight figures for you, and now the account is settled. There will be no more hidden dangers, so you can rest assured."

Lin Man's face turned red when she heard this. Could she say that she was even more uneasy now?

Before coming, she had thought there would be a lot of expenses, but she had not expected there to be so many.

Ji Ze actually helped her pay back an eight-digit debt.

Lin Man lowered her head and uttered in a soft and delicate voice, "Boss Ji, I owe you this money. I will pay it back to you slowly."

She didn't want to use Pei Yan's money anymore. Maybe it was a bit hypocritical, but she just wanted to separate from him financially first.

Ji Ze wore a watch on his fair and slender wrist, held an umbrella in one hand, and smiled softly.

"What if Miss Lin can't pay it back?"

Lin Man felt a little embarrassed when she heard this. She put one hand on her naturally hanging arm, lowered her head slightly and turned to the side, her fair face flushed.

Just as she was about to speak, Ji Ze took a step forward. They were so close that Lin Man could even smell the scent of gardenia in his hair.

Ji Ze bent down and slowly approached Lin Man, a barely perceptible smile flashing across his pair of dark and deep eyes.

"If you can't pay it back, use yourself to pay it back.

Eight figures, Miss Lin will not let me lose both my money and my life, right? "

Lin Man's face flushed, she was a little annoyed, she glared at Ji Ze and muttered softly.

“I can pay it back…”

These things are over, and she also knows the reason for her unemployment. From today on, she will work hard to make money to pay for her mistakes.

Ji Ze chuckled. He wanted to say that she didn’t have to return it.

The two men went down the stairs and were about to open the car door when they were surrounded by a group of people in official uniforms.

The leading woman looked up at Ji Ze, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.

Then she turned her attention to Lin Man and raised her hand to show her ID.

He looked Lin Man up and down, "Are you Lin Man?"

The man standing behind her quickly stepped forward and whispered in the woman's ear: "Captain, it's her."

The woman who was called captain turned around and glared at the man, as if blaming him for being nosy.

"It's me, what can I do for you?"

If not, she still has to go eat.

The female captain chuckled and looked back and forth between Lin Man and Ji Ze.

"What is your relationship with the man next to you?"

Lin Man frowned slightly when she heard this.

Ji Ze walked up to her first and spoke slowly, his tone neither humble nor arrogant.

"I'm Ji Ze from the Ji Group. My company has legal affairs, assistants, and a team that specializes in handling disputes. If you have any questions, you can contact my secretary."

Ji Ze waved his hand, and Lin Man noticed the group of people behind him, including Ji Ze's secretary and his security team.

Looking at this scene, Lin Man couldn't help laughing. That's right, looking at the layout of Ji Ze's office, you can tell that he is a very particular person.

But before that, it seemed that he was afraid that Lin Man would not be used to it, so he did not ask anyone to follow.
