As Lin Yan's special assistant, Qin Yuran did not have the privilege to go directly to the president's office. Lin Yan had once told her that without his permission, Qin Yuran could not go to the top floor at will.
This had almost become the laughing stock of the entire industry.
As the president's special assistant, Qin Yuran had to call Lin Yan first to submit documents.
And she …
Qin Yuran clenched her silver teeth, making a squeaking sound.
Tears welled up in her eyes.
Qin Yuran came to work at Lam's Group as soon as she graduated from university. Lin Yan's pickiness was no less than that of the head of state choosing the spokesperson of the news department. He had changed dozens of assistants. In the end, Qin Yuran's "tact" became the capital for her to gain a foothold.
In the past three years, perhaps all the employees in Lam's Group knew how much she liked Lin Yan. But he …
"Hehe …" Qin Yuran pursed her lips and smiled bitterly. Tears rolled down her cheeks like pearls from a broken necklace.
After a while, she still followed Lin Yan's instructions and ordered lunch for two. After a while, the pizza was delivered. She took the box and walked to the elevator that led to the president's office.
Along the way, her mood was as heavy as visiting a grave.
Depression, depression, sorrow … all kinds of emotions surged into Qin Yuran's heart.
Qin Yuran moved closer to the door of Lin Yan's office and listened carefully to the sounds in Lin Yan's office.
"Ah! Stop it. "
"Don't, don't …"
"Lin Yan! You're so annoying! "
Ye Zi's voice was like a steel needle, piercing into Qin Yuran's eardrum. It was painful, as if a piece of her heart had been cut off by a sharp knife.
Qin Yuran did not know how many tears she had shed because of this. She raised her head and let the tear stains on her cheeks dry. After a while, she took a deep breath and put on a bitter smile on her face, trying to make herself look very — normal.
Knock, knock, knock.
Qin Yuran knocked on the door.
"Come in."
Qin Yuran pushed the door open and walked into Lin Yan's office.
The scene in the office hurt her eyes. Ye Zi was sitting on Lin Yan's lap. She was sitting on his lap!!
In an instant, Qin Yuran felt that she could not breathe. Every step she took was like stepping on a knife's edge, making her whole body hurt.
It was only a distance of a few dozen steps, but for Qin Yuran, it seemed like a long century had passed.
"Mr. Lin, your lunch." Qin Yuran tried to maintain a smile.
"Put it here."
From the beginning to the end, Lin Yan said a total of six words to Qin Yuran, "Come in, put it here." From the beginning to the end, he did not even look at Qin Yuran, as if she was air.
Qin Yuran's heart was in pain, very, very pain …
She slowly turned around, and there was a flame of anger in her eyes. She glared at Ye Zi, and the thick flame in the depths of her eyes seemed to want to burn Ye Zi into ashes in an instant.
But Ye Zi did not notice it. Her eyes were attracted by the pizza and chicken wings on Lin Yan's desk.
Since morning, Ye Zi had not eaten anything. At this moment, she picked up a piece of pizza and ate heartily.
Lin Yan looked at her, his eyes filled with endless tenderness. His thin lips parted slightly, and he said softly, "How does it taste?"
Ye Zi nodded and said, "It's delicious."
"Ah." Lin Yan opened his mouth and gestured for Ye Zi to feed him.
Ye Zi smiled and glared at Lin Yan. She turned around and said, "Don't even think about it."
Lin Yan smiled faintly, picked up a piece of pizza, and ate it slowly.
After lunch, Lin Yan had a very important meeting to attend. Initially, Ye Zi wanted to leave, but Lin Yan did not allow it. He asked Ye Zi to lie on the sofa in the office, and his tone was full of command. He asked her to sleep there, and he left the office.
That afternoon, Ye Zi stayed in Lin Yan's office to sleep. She had not had an afternoon nap for a long time, and she slept very soundly.
While she was enjoying her afternoon nap, there was someone in Lam's Group who had become the laughing stock of the entire company.
In Lin Yan's Group, Qin Yuran had a crush on Mr. Lin. Everyone knew that. But today, Mr. Lin was holding a girl's hand, and they went straight to the CEO's office on the top floor.
Qin Yuran sat in the toilet cubicle, listening to the ridicule directed at her from outside.
"Hey, did you see that? Mr. Lin brought a girl to the company today."
"Of course, I saw her. Maybe she is our future boss's wife."
"So what if you saw her? Did you see Special Assistant Qin's face? It was so ugly that I was scared to death."
"Haha." Someone pushed open the door of the toilet and said with a sneer, "Why didn't I see it? He is usually arrogant, but today he is like a defeated rooster …"
"Haha …" The crowd roared with laughter.
"It's a hen."
Qin Yuran covered her ears, but their words were getting more and more piercing to her ears. She clenched her fists tightly, and her long nails dug deep into her palms, leaving behind streaks of blood.
"Bang!"
Suddenly, a muffled sound interrupted the "laughter" in the toilet. The girls looked behind them, only to see Qin Yuran standing behind them with a gloomy face.
The girls pushed each other and hurriedly left the toilet.
Qin Yuran walked in front of the mirror and looked at her makeup that had been ruined from crying. After a long time, she slowly raised her hand and wiped the tears from her eyes.
All of this was given to her by Ye Zi.
Qin Yuran clenched her teeth, as if she wanted to crush the roots of her teeth.
"Ye Zi, just you wait!"
She suddenly turned around and quickly walked out of the toilet.
…
"Mm!"
Ye Zi slept soundly. She stretched and sat up unhurriedly. "How comfortable!"
This nap seemed to make Ye Zi forget about the troubles of Xia Shengtian's case. She took out a tablet from her backpack, and her long and fair fingers quickly moved across the screen.
Ye Zi was confused about this case. She wanted to investigate it, but there was nothing she could do.
Xia Shengtian, Xia Shengtian, how did you die?
Ye Zi sat in Lin Yan's office, and this was the only question in her mind. She had almost combed through all the clues, but she did not find anything.
An hour later, the office door was pushed open, but Ye Zi did not notice it at all.
"What are you looking at?"
Lin Yan's distant and deep voice came from behind Ye Zi.
Ye Zi covered the tablet and turned to look at Lin Yan. She smiled embarrassedly and said, "It's just a case."
"Is it Xia Shengtian's case?" Lin Yan slightly frowned.
Ye Zi nodded noncommittally. "Mm."
"Let me see." Lin Yan stretched out his big hand in front of Ye Zi.
Ye Zi passed the tablet to Lin Yan. She frowned and stared at Lin Yan, who was staring at the tablet.
In a flash, Lin Yan returned the tablet to Ye Zi. After that, there was nothing else.
Ye Zi's frown deepened. She blinked her clear and bright eyes, as if she was waiting for Lin Yan to say his opinion on this case.
However, Lin Yan did not say a word.
Ye Zi could not hold it in anymore. She asked Lin Yan, "What do you think of this case?"
Lin Yan shrugged indifferently. His thin lips curled into a sharp smile. "This has nothing to do with me."
Ye Zi pouted and glared at Lin Yan. "Can't you help me?"
"Ha!" Lin Yan smiled. "Xia Shengtian's life and death has nothing to do with you. Why are you investigating this case?"
Ye Zi was suddenly speechless after being asked by Lin Yan.
She did not know how to answer Lin Yan.
From the beginning to the end, what Lin Yan said made sense. Xia Shengtian's life and death had nothing to do with Ye Zi. After she finished investigating Xia Shengtian's mistress, there was no need for her to continue investigating this case. She could have taken the money and closed the case. She could have been comfortable, but now she had to run around outside in the heat of autumn.
It seemed a little meddlesome to do so.
But Ye Zi really wanted to know the truth about Xia Shengtian's death. At least, she wanted to know if she had helped the wrong person.
Ye Zi stuffed the tablet into her backpack and stood up from the sofa. She stared at Lin Yan arrogantly. "I like to meddle in other people's business."
Lin Yan rubbed the tip of his nose and smiled faintly. He got up and walked behind Ye Zi and hugged her from behind. "My little wild cat, it's bristling again."
Ye Zi stepped hard on Lin Yan's foot. "You're the one who is angry. Your whole family is angry."
"Sorry, I'm the only one in my family."
"Uh …"
Ye Zi was a little speechless. She glared at Lin Yan and said, "I can't be bothered to bicker with you. I want to go back to the detective agency."
Lin Yan held the hand of the angry little wild cat and smiled. "I'll drive you."
"Don't you need to work?"
"Driving you is more important than work."
In the black Jeep Cherokee, Ye Zi was quiet like an obedient cat. She didn't say a word, which was very unusual. Lin Yan glanced at her and frowned slightly. "What's wrong?"
"I'm just thinking that Xia Shengtian died at the beach. The forensic doctor said his body wasn't moved, but how …" Ye Zi looked up and stared at Lin Yan without blinking. She said in a low voice, "How could it be carbon monoxide poisoning?!"
Lin Yan couldn't answer her, so he just drove in silence.
They passed by a traffic station and met a red light. Lin Yan stepped on the accelerator because Ye Zi's whole body was focused on the cause of Xia Shengtian's death. Her body suddenly froze, and the seatbelt pulled her back.
Ye Zi looked up and saw the traffic light. Suddenly, her eyes lit up, as though she had thought of something.
She quickly patted Lin Yan's arm. "Don't go back to the detective agency yet. Send me to the Municipal Crime Squad."
Lin Yan heard this and frowned slightly. "Are you going to look for Chen Mo?"
His words sounded a little sour. Ye Zi pouted. "Yeah, you're really going to look for Brother Chen Mo." Still worried about not being able to find the latest chapter? Amway a public account: r/d/444
