"?"

Lin Man thought for a moment that she had heard it wrong.

Ji Ze smiled and said, "You really are going far away to seek the near. With Ah Yan here, do you still need to stay up late to plan and come to the door to recommend yourself?"

"As long as you coax Ah Yan well, all those things can be solved with just one word! Ah Yan makes the order, and you can choose any resource from the entire Hai City or even the entire China! Isn't that good!"

Lin Man's expression was a little distorted. Ji Ze meant for her to go...

Seeing that Lin Man looked unhappy, Ji Ze thought that she was frightened by his blunt words and was unable to get over it.

"Don't be one of those pedantic scholars! Having someone who can take care of you, love you, and protect you from the wind and rain is something that many people would beg for. You and A Yan are husband and wife. As the saying goes, those who are close to the water get the moon first. Since you can get everything that ordinary people can never get with just a wave of your hand, why bother yourself? Don't you agree, little sister-in-law?"

After hearing Ji Ze's words, Lin Man's distorted expression gradually returned to calm, and a hint of self-mockery appeared at the corner of her mouth.

If she could be loved, who would be willing to struggle for a living? If she had not lacked love since childhood, she probably would not have valued her marriage with Pei Yan so much, trying her best to mend the broken cracks and maintain that ridiculous decency.

Lin Man understood what Ji Ze said. He wanted to advise her to give in to Pei Yan and live a good life.

If it were the Lin Man of the past, she would definitely be willing, but after two lives, Lin Man already knew very well what would happen in the future. No one would love her, take care of her, or shelter her from the wind and rain, so even if she only had a withered umbrella in her hand, she had to hold it alone.

Lin Man smiled and said, "I don't understand what President Ji said."

As soon as Lin Man finished speaking, a cold laugh was heard. Pei Yan's slender figure was leaning aside, playing with a pen in his hand. His sharp and deep eyebrows showed indifference. The people around him were noble and distant, without a trace of warmth.

Ji Ze smiled awkwardly and wanted to smooth things over, but before he could open his mouth, Pei Yan stood up and walked out with his suit jacket.

.....

After Pei Yan left, Ji Ze put on that friendly and harmless look again and made a gesture of invitation to Lin Man.

This is the time to see off guests.

Lin Man looked at the watch on his hand, a little hesitant, unsure if the time was enough to delay until this moment.

Just when the two were in a stalemate, a woman in professional attire hurriedly pushed open the door, her eyes full of anxiety!

"Boss Ji! Something happened to the convoy going to North City!"

Ji Ze's face with a professional fake smile suddenly became serious and the atmosphere was very solemn!

"what happened?"

The secretary said anxiously, "Originally, according to your instructions, the convoy drove from the west of the city around the Beijing Expressway and took the equipment on the road! But for some reason, the first car did not follow the prescribed route! The cars behind did not know why and kept following the first car!"

"By the time we realized something was wrong, the road was getting harder and harder to walk on! The heavy equipment flipped over at a turn! The police have reported 2 deaths and 11 injuries! The injured colleagues have been placed in the hospital! But this incident has a huge impact on the Ji family! There are already reporters and media waiting downstairs!

Ji Ze pondered, and said solemnly: "Lisa! Send Madam Pei back! Come in with me!"

.....

Ji Ze's secretary respectfully bent down to lead the way for Lin Man. Lin Man nodded. This time she did not delay and left without hesitation.

Ji Ze looked at Lin Man's receding figure with a deep gaze, as if he was thinking about something!

.....

When Lin Man came out, the entrance of Ji's house was already surrounded by reporters.

Seeing that someone finally came out, they all rushed up!

The microphone was placed directly next to Lin Man’s mouth, and the glaring light made it impossible to open one’s eyes!

"Miss! Are you an employee of Ji Group?"

"Are you aware of the recent events at Ji's Group? Did Ji's Group violate the labor law and force employees to travel and work overtime, among other unreasonable behaviors?"

Before Lin Man could even open her mouth, another reporter hurriedly thrust the microphone in her direction!

"Ji Group announced this week that it will be carrying out a large-scale layoff plan! Is this incident related to the recent police report that 2 Ji Group employees died and 11 were injured on business trips? Is it because Ji Group retaliated against the 13 employees who did not accept the layoff plan proposed by Ji Group?"

Every question is sharp and incisive!

Pei Yan sat in the car, holding the steering wheel with one hand, and flicked the burning cigarette butt out of the window! He stared at the surrounded Lin Man with cold and deep eyes. He just smoked and watched the scene coldly.

Lin Man looked at this familiar scene. She had experienced this in her previous life as well!

At that time, she dragged her feet and refused to divorce, so Pei Yan took Gan Tian back to the old house! Except for Pei's mother who stayed at home, all the important people in Hai City were present! No one from the Pei clan dared not to attend! After this incident, the whole Hai City knew that Gan Tian was the woman Pei Yan held in his heart!

And she, standing in that silent wedding room, was being questioned by reporters!

"Mrs. Pei! Mr. Pei brought Miss Gan back to the Pei family's old house to meet his parents today! Is this an announcement to the public that your relationship is dead in name only and your marriage has completely broken down?"
