In the afternoon, Qin Chuan was supposed to stay for another day, but his white moonlight, Qin Shiyao, returned from abroad and contacted him immediately. Qin Chuan was exceptionally delighted and took leave early. After bidding farewell to Ji Zhenyan, he hurried to Shanghai to meet Qin Shiyao at her residence.
Qin Chuan made a lasting impression on the client managers of Li County HS Company during his last appearance in Lixian. Initially, the head of Li County HS Company, Lu Jiancheng, did not believe that Ji Zhenyan would be in a relationship while restoring the project. However, after explanations from the client managers, he became completely convinced. The once top performer, Ji Zhenyan, was placed in a pending position.
Meanwhile, Uncle Hai, the head of GK Company in Haicheng, discovered that Qin Chuan had over-reimbursed by ten thousand yuan while organizing his expense reports and called him about it. Before Qin Chuan even arrived in Shanghai, he received notice that he had been complained about—not just for the ten thousand yuan.
In just four days, Ji Zhenyan completed the project restoration, restoring Li County HS Company's confidence in her. After the project was restored, the entire Blossom and Snow Moon Screensaver sold an additional two hundred thousand yuan, leaving no opportunity for GK's Haicheng branch to intervene. Additionally, there was a mysterious complaint that Qin Chuan borrowed ten thousand yuan from the company to pay off debts but refused to provide a receipt.
Qin Chuan's actions were deemed utterly unacceptable by Uncle Hai. Unable to tolerate such unforgivable behavior, he discussed it with Qin Chuan's direct supervisor, Sister Chen. After Qin Chuan arrived in Shanghai, they asked him to resign.
Having lost his job, Qin Chuan lacked the courage to seek out Qin Shiyao; however, she still came looking for him.
Dressed in elite attire, Qin Shiyao radiated a dazzling aura. Her elegant demeanor captivated Qin Chuan's attention; with his already handsome appearance and fair complexion—combined with being Qin Shiyao's first love—their meeting was filled with affection.
Qin Shiyao had a habit of looking at others' WeChat messages. Qin Chuan's phone was no exception. Soon enough, she noticed a very special WeChat account that was not in Qin Chuan's friend circle and not local either; however, he had labeled it with blessings. Curious about who this person might be, Qin Shiyao eventually opened WeChat.
In the WeChat chat with this girl, there were two photos. Qin Shiyao's face was flushed red. This was a photo of her favorite senior. Qin Chuan actually used this to tempt girls. As each other's white moonlight, she always thought that Qin Chuan was waiting for her to return home, that he would not change. She never expected it would be so hard to accept.
Qin Shiyao closed WeChat, holding back tears, and finally, unable to contain her anger, smashed Qin Chuan's phone. When Qin Chuan returned to his seat with a cup of milk tea, he was stunned. After years apart, his white moonlight's temper had changed so much.
He looked at her with amusement, trying to coax her while calling her "baby" repeatedly. He said, "I didn't do anything out of line; I even earned an extra ten thousand yuan! My job is great; I can support you in the future!"
Qin Chuan decided he must first stabilize Qin Shiyao. She had just returned from abroad, and he really missed her so much. After a while of sulking, thinking about how Qin Chuan used fitness photos to attract girls made her heart burn with anger. She decided to check out Qin Chuan's company to see what this good workplace he mentioned was really like.
Qin Shiyao secretly arrived at GK Company's headquarters in Hangzhou, heading straight to the management department where Qin Chuan worked. When Sister Chen saw her, she was puzzled and asked, "Ji Zhenyan?"
Qin Shiyao felt deeply humiliated. She nodded, and the other party smiled and said, "You have connections with us at GK Company; we won't touch you! That kid Qin Chuan is too cunning; we've already severed ties with him."
Qin Shiyao couldn't believe her ears; she never expected that Qin Chuan would deceive her as well. Who exactly was this Ji Zhenyan girl that led GK Company to fire Qin Chuan? At that moment, she thought to herself, "Qin Chuan, oh Qin Chuan, you are truly too foolish."
Qin Shiyao did not return to Shanghai immediately; instead, she had a meal with Uncle Lu, the head of GK Company in Liaocheng. He was a close friend of her uncle's classmate, and through his connections, Qin Chuan's resignation was revoked. Qin Chuan was sent on a business trip to Liaocheng and suddenly became the head of the Liaocheng Sales Department. The ten thousand yuan subsidy he received in Haicheng was no longer pursued. Qin Shiyao's help made Qin Chuan fall in love with her even more. He repeatedly assured her that once the Liaocheng project ended in a year and he had the opportunity to return to Shanghai, they would get married. Qin Shiyao smiled happily, knowing she would take care of her man.
On the other side, the Haicheng GK branch could no longer sit still due to the progress of the Ji Zhenyan Blossom and Snow Moon project. After the project server was restored, Lixian secured a major contract worth one million five hundred thousand. They required Ji Zhenyan to complete it within a week and outsourced a small part to the GK Haicheng branch. As a result, Ji Zhenyan successfully completed the task and received one million two hundred thousand in payments. However, the design from GK Haicheng branch was disliked by Lixian's clients, and thirty thousand in payments remained unsettled.
GK Company sent Qin Chuan back to Lixian to find Ji Zhenyan. Uncle Hai said, "Ji Zhenyan is quite good to Qin Chuan; this kid wants to pursue her as well. Let them meet, but most importantly, we need to recover the project payment from GK Company in Lixian. This kid only knows how to chase women; he hasn't even collected the funds for the projects he's responsible for in Lixian! How can someone like him be in charge of the Liaocheng Sales Department?"
When Qin Shiyao learned about this, Qin Chuan had already arrived in Lixian. He originally wanted to find Ji Zhenyan, but at that moment, she was not in Lixian. The account managers from Li County HS Company informed him, "Our consultant Ji is the most important R&D personnel for the HS Company Blossom and Snow Moon project; she is the most reliable."
Qin Chuan asked, "The Blossom and Snow Moon project has generated six million five hundred thousand since its launch; how much has Ji Zhenyan earned?"
"Two million!" Chen Ling replied bluntly, causing all the account managers in the room to blush. Ji Zhenyan truly had exceptional skills; she did not take any commission and only received a base salary. Thus, at HS Company, a top-tier state-owned enterprise, she was one of the most valued technical experts.
The company's top leader Lu Jiancheng and deputy Jiang Chengfeng smiled appreciatively upon seeing Ji Zhenyan but were not polite with the account managers. They had protested before but were told, "If you can also complete a project worth over one million in seven days, we can treat you politely too."
A saying circulated within HS Company: "Iron-clad Ji Zhenyan and flowing Blossom and Snow Moon projects." It was evident that Ji Zhenyan held a significant status within HS Company.
During his second visit to Lixian, Qin Chuan stayed for several days without meeting Ji Zhenyan. He managed to recover part of the funds for his project and hurriedly left because Qin Shiyao had learned about his relationship with Ji Zhenyan and believed that he was deceiving her about their marriage plans. This time, she decided to leave Shanghai and go abroad again.
When Qin Chuan arrived at Qin Shiyao's home, she had already packed her belongings for departure.
He desperately tried to hold her back, explaining, "Ji Zhenyan is just a business relationship; we have no common language. I've waited for you for years, you can't leave me! Shiyao, my heart only has room for you, truly only you! I would never do anything to hurt you—please believe me!"
Qin Shiyao lowered her head, looking exhausted. "What exactly is your relationship with Ji Zhenyan? You were doing fine in Liaocheng; why did you have to go to such a remote place like Lixian? Are you trying to see her?"
Qin Chuan took Qin Shiyao's hand and said, "No, really, there’s nothing between us. Uncle Hai asked me to go! I never expected Uncle Hai would clash with your uncle. I really didn’t want to put your uncle in a difficult position; I truly have the ability to show you that."
As Qin Shiyao listened, she started to cry. "I know it's hard for you. GK Company is a big corporation with a significant market share in the national screensaver market. I believe you wouldn't do anything to betray me, but you need to consider me too! Qin Chuan, I really don’t want to lose you! But do you know what others say about me? They say I’ve raised a parasite!"
Qin Chuan laughed at Qin Shiyao's words and replied, "I just want to be your parasite; I just want to be with you! I want to marry you. Shiyao, I've loved you for seven years; I want to give you the best of me!"
Qin Shiyao's face flushed slightly, her eyes felt sore, but the light in her gaze made it hard for Qin Chuan to look away. This was his Shiyao, the most beautiful woman in the world.
After spending some tender moments together, Qin Chuan returned to Liaocheng. However, he was shocked by some news coming from the GK Liaocheng Sales Department. Feeling troubled inside, he stood by the riverbank and eventually broke down in tears.
He couldn't lose Shiyao; he absolutely couldn't lose her. He truly had no issues with Ji Zhenyan—none at all. Why would he jeopardize everything over ten thousand yuan and make people from GK Company and HS Company think he was pursuing Ji Zhenyan?
He really didn’t like Ji Zhenyan; she was not Qin Shiyao—she wasn’t. He had never thought of betraying Shiyao. She was his moonlight, the girl he loved most.
Standing by the riverbank and watching the shimmering waves, Qin Chuan's heart remained unsettled. He worried that rumors from GK Company’s Haicheng branch would reach Qin Shiyao. He also feared that if Ji Zhenyan learned that people from HS Company supported her pursuing him, she would become entangled with him.
He didn’t want to lose Qin Shiyao over ten thousand yuan or let Ji Zhenyan affect his relationship with her. But a ticking time bomb was igniting within GK’s Haicheng branch.
The Blossom and Snow Moon project in Lixian had completely fallen apart.
The ten thousand yuan subsidy for Qin Chuan became a thorn in their hearts.
Zhou Zhou, feeling embarrassed about getting it back from GK Company, introduced Qin Chuan to a small enterprise under the pretense of generous treatment. He told him, "This company is a partner of GK Company and can offer you double your current salary. They value your identity as a local from Shanghai, and once you join, they will focus on your training!"
Due to the teasing from Uncle Hai and others regarding his relationship with Ji Zhenyan, Qin Chuan felt insecure. He decided to take a different approach by returning to Shanghai to spend time with Qin Shiyao, thus avoiding any unexpected troubles during this tumultuous period. After waiting for her all these years, he believed he should have a good ending.
Without any doubts, Qin Chuan left the Liaocheng Sales Department and returned to Shanghai. Upon arriving at the company named CK Company, he was informed by HR that the probationary salary was only 3,000 yuan. This completely infuriated Qin Chuan, who exclaimed, "Zhou Zhou's chairman knows important people; he promised me my salary would double when I came here!"
Upon hearing Zhou Zhou's name, HR representative Sister Mo nodded and smiled, saying, "The probationary salary is 3,000 yuan base pay, with commissions based on performance. The base pay after confirmation will be double what you had before joining."
Qin Chuan was reluctant to accept this offer. He bid farewell to Sister Mo and left CK Company. Unable to return to GK Liaocheng Sales Department, he did not expect that his hasty return to Shanghai would lead kind-hearted people at GK Company to think he had abandoned Ji Zhenyan. Ultimately, the group gave him a poor evaluation, shattering his hopes of returning to GK Company.
In the following month, Qin Chuan stayed in Shanghai without contacting Qin Shiyao. Instead, he began searching for jobs. Strangely enough, all the companies he interviewed with gave him negative feedback. Eventually, he left an even smaller company after just a week.
The job market was tough; the company Zhou Zhou introduced him to was relatively better than those he found himself. Gritting his teeth, Qin Chuan decided to retrace his steps.
However, due to his previous strong attitude, the company insisted on keeping his current salary upon confirmation instead of offering him double as promised. Frustrated and having been unemployed for a month, Qin Chuan was nearing the point of not being able to afford food.
He decided to join CK Company for now and see how things went.
Qin Shiyao learned about Qin Chuan leaving Liaocheng Sales Department and was hurt that he hadn’t contacted her during his month in Shanghai. This made her feel quite upset.
Adding to this was the fact that Qin Chuan's new job was going poorly; when he wanted to resign again, HR informed him that he would need to pay a penalty of ten thousand yuan. To leave, Qin Chuan had to cover this amount, which pushed him into complete despair.
Standing before the vulnerable Qin Chuan, the light in Qin Shiyao's eyes dimmed.
Where was the outstanding young man full of spirit from their youth?
“Qin Chuan, let’s break up!” she said, unable to bear seeing such a helpless version of him.
He stared blankly at her, tears welling up in his eyes but held back; he bit his lip and wanted to say something but only managed to utter, “I have never betrayed you!”
Qin Shiyao felt a pang in her heart and lowered her head as she said softly, “I’m tired... Qin Chuan, we’re not suitable for each other!”
The dual blows of career and love left Qin Chuan in unbearable sorrow. He returned home and took half a bottle of sleeping pills, deciding to quietly drift away into sleep.
Mama Qin had not seen her son for a long time. When she went to his apartment, she discovered the heartbreaking truth that Qin Chuan had committed suicide, a reality she could not accept. She called Qin Chuan's best friend, Zheng Ping. Together, they managed to bring Qin Chuan back from the brink.
Qin Chuan sat quietly on the hospital bed while Zheng Ping leaned against the window, smoking a cigarette, and Mama Qin cried tears of sorrow. Zheng Ping sent a message to Qin Shiyao but received no reply for a long time. It wasn't until the third day after Qin Chuan returned home from the hospital that he learned Qin Shiyao had left Shanghai on the day of his suicide and had gone back abroad.
Qin Chuan paid a penalty of ten thousand yuan for breaking his contract, resigned from his job, and flew to Boston, USA. He stayed there for an entire month but did not find Qin Shiyao. From that moment on, she disappeared from his world.
Back in Shanghai, Qin Chuan received a message from Ji Zhenyan. She said, "It's been a while since we last contacted each other. I've changed my main job and am now working as an assistant to an academician at a research institute. I'm still consulting on the Blossom and Snow Moon project."
Qin Chuan bitterly smiled with envy; this was not the mountain and sea he had hoped for. He replied nonsensically, "I'm working at CK Company; I've returned to Shanghai!"
Ji Zhenyan nodded and said, "Congratulations! This suits you well. I've gotten married to a lovely person." At that time, Ji Zhenyan was not actually married; she just wanted to avoid further entanglements with Qin Chuan. Everyone at HS Company concluded that "this person is really uninteresting."
Indeed, it was quite uninteresting! Ji Zhenyan smiled briefly, and eventually, they faded into each other's lives.
Meanwhile, Gu Yanshen was in Haicheng Lixian, forming a family team. Ji Zhenyan was his betrothed; he hadn't seen her in a long time. Upon hearing that a boy from Shanghai was pursuing her, he felt uneasy and thought to himself that this little girl was getting bolder; he would have to deal with her.
When Ji Zhenyan returned to Lixian for business again, Gu Yanshen found her at the hotel where she was staying. Ji Zhenyan was on a middle floor of the hotel, where the corridor lights needed to be turned on manually. Her habit was to leave one light on at her door when she left the hotel so she could find her way back after working late.
That day when she returned to her room, all the lights on her floor were turned on. For the first time, Ji Zhenyan felt the impact of light and warmth as if someone were waiting for her return, which warmed her heart.
She hurried into her room, and as she closed the door, the entire corridor fell silent again; this world felt quite lovely. The next morning at six o'clock, hotel management checked the lighting situation and discovered this peculiar scene; they eventually found out it was the work of Scenic City and Gu Yanshen.
Gu Yanshen's arrival in Lixian was to expand the family business, and as Ji Zhenyan's betrothed, he certainly intended to give her a gift.
Last night was just a small appetizer. After finishing work at Ji Zhenyan and leaving Lixian, he visited GK Lixian Company, an established state-owned enterprise. Gu Yanshen had no prior interaction with this company, but his arranged marriage partner, Ji Zhenyan, did.
Gu Yanshen walked steadily to the office of the second-in-command, Jiang Chengfeng. As Ji Zhenyan's direct superior, Jiang Chengfeng held her in high regard. He first made a phone call to the other party, and when Jiang Chengfeng saw him, he appeared somewhat surprised.
"You are from the the Gu Family... Gu Yanshen?"
Lixian was merely a small county town, so it was unexpected for the third largest clan in Scenic City, the the Gu Family, to choose to expand their business here. This surprised Jiang Chengfeng but also proved GK Company's current standing in the industry, capable of attracting members of the the Gu Family for a visit.
Gu Yanshen's arrival made Jiang Chengfeng quite pleased; he smiled and invited him to sit down. Gu Yanshen was straightforward about his intentions, saying, "The screensaver on my phone is quite unattractive. I heard that you have a significant business in this area."
His interest in the Blossom and Snow Moon project caught Jiang Chengfeng off guard but also delighted him. He emphasized, "We are professionals! We have already completed several highlights."
Gu Yanshen nodded and said with a smile, "I want to see the pioneering project from Chen County; I want a copy of that project!"
Ji Zhenyan's project in Chen County had created a sensation throughout the industry, with provincial leaders praising her for her solid technical skills. However, the copyright for this project belonged to Chen County and could not be considered Lixian's project. Jiang Chengfeng hesitated slightly but then took the initiative, saying, "Our family plans to expand our business into Lixian and needs something unique. The Blossom and Snow Moon project from Chen County has set a precedent, but it is only a pilot and not yet a commercial project. The the Gu Family likes this project and wants to purchase it."
Gu Yanshen's words made Jiang Chengfeng extremely happy; he immediately asked Chen Ling to start designing. With Ji Zhenyan not present in Lixian, this project could not be delayed. For a prominent family like the the Gu Family, they were GK Company's most esteemed VIPs.
After having lunch at GK Lixian Company, Gu Yanshen saw Chen Ling's design and then told Jiang Chengfeng, "It just needs to be identical! The the Gu Family wants a copy of that project!"
Jiang Chengfeng kindly asked Chen Ling to replicate it exactly. It was done perfectly; however, everyone in the room felt it needed some elements unique to Lixian but had no ideas on how to incorporate them.
Jiang Chengfeng said, "Alright, let's have Ji Zhenyan come over to handle it!"
When Chen Ling heard that her hard work was not being valued, she became furious and said, "Ji Zhenyan completed the Chen County project in seven days; she was so stressed she cried! I didn't cry!"
Gu Yanshen's expression darkened as he quietly remarked, "I don't like what you've done with this Blossom and Snow Moon."
Chen Ling's eyes filled with tears as she chose not to say anything more.
Jiang Chengfeng invited Gu Yanshen to his office for tea, and the two left the office together. Chen Ling was also quite formidable; she emphasized, "Ji Zhenyan really cried hard back then; her father even came! I worked so hard until the end and didn't even get credit for my performance!"
Everyone in the room had their own thoughts about this matter, which eventually reached the ears of the top leader Lu Jiancheng. He called to inquire about information from Chen County and learned about Ji Zhenyan's situation at that time.
"There were only two days left before going live; on launch day there were one hundred eight unique images required. The backend needed redesigning as well; all interfaces and parameters had to be completely changed. Two graphic designers couldn't help at all—only Ji Zhenyan could handle it."
At that time, the pressure was too intense. It is said that her family called, and in the end, she just couldn't hold on any longer. This little girl is steady in her work and rarely loses control of a situation, which shows that this project is an extreme sport.
Lu Jiancheng hung up the phone, his thoughts firm. Ji Zhenyan is truly a talent, but unfortunately, the Lixian Blossom and Snow Moon project requires someone who can stay long-term, which is Ji Zhenyan's only flaw.
People from GK Company quickly learned about what Chen Ling mentioned through insider information from HS. Zhou Zhou approached the Party Secretary of HS Lixian Company, Zhen Shu, stating, "We are like family with HS; we need to unite and capture the largest share of the screensaver market. We are doing very well in Haicheng; we have this capability. I heard that the the Gu Family wants to pioneer a project in Chen County; we are most familiar with this project and it should have been ours. In the end, Ji Zhenyan took it because she has a better relationship with Provincial Company."
In fact, Ji Zhenyan would take on this project because there was only two days to prepare, and GK Company could not afford to take risks, so HS Company took it on themselves. Now, what Zhou Zhou said made it seem as if Ji Zhenyan had snatched their project away from GK. They demanded that HS Lixian Company send someone to negotiate with the the Gu Family to let the more technically capable GK Company take the lead on this project.
This news spread widely, but no one mentioned it to Ji Zhenyan. She learned about it when Chen Ling inadvertently brought up her crying incident during the pioneering project again. Ji Zhenyan felt both amused and helpless; she bore the burden of the project alone and didn't even have the freedom to vent her emotions afterward.
Regarding Chen Ling's ambiguous words, she chose to ignore them. However, GK Company's Haicheng branch began to interfere with HS Lixian's information technology project. As for Ji Zhenyan's expertise at present, it seemed limited to Blossom and Snow Moon.
Three days later, Gu Yanshen heard that HS Lixian Company had handed over the project development rights to GK's Haicheng branch. He had already researched GK Company's capabilities thoroughly. He replied calmly, "If GK Company is doing it, then we won't do it!"
The senior management at Li County HS Company was shaken by this news. This matter could not be taken lightly. During a high-level meeting, Zhou Zhou from GK's Haicheng branch emphasized, "HS Lixian Company has good designer Chen Ling; our cooperation with GK Company is a strong alliance." He claimed, "As long as the the Gu Family agrees to let them do it, they will definitely become famous in Lixian; all they need is time; they do not lack opportunities!"
Lu Jiancheng asked, "What do you plan to do?"
Zhou Zhou replied, "Chen Ling has many templates; we can just apply them and get results. These are all assets of HS Company; we are willing to share profits with HS Lixian Company; you can take the larger share."
After hearing Zhou Zhou's words, Chen Ling felt confident. She had been in Lixian for three years and had completed many design projects; plus, she came from a graphic design background. Ji Zhenyan was too aloof; while her work was excellent, only leadership appreciated her—her grassroots support was too weak.
At that moment, Chen Ling did not express her stance, but Jiang Chengfeng said, "We have templates and graphic design; what will you do? The screensaver images are all ours; I don't understand."
Lu Jiancheng coughed lightly and said, "I'm not very clear either; now our phones have both standard and 4K versions that need to be launched. We will provide the images; regarding profit sharing, it should all go to us."
Zhou Zhou's face turned extremely awkward. Chen Ling never expected that things would ultimately fall on her shoulders. Thinking about completing 108 design drawings in just seven days made her feel overwhelmed; even worse was that she couldn't discuss this matter with Ji Zhenyan.
In the end, the the Gu Family reached a compromise after a month of negotiations.
In the following days, Gu Yanshen would expand the family business throughout the western and eastern regions of Jiangnan, like a battle wolf.
By the time he returned to Lixian, his customized Blossom and Snow Moon project at HS Lixian Company had not yet been implemented, despite being agreed upon a month ago. He suppressed his anger and asked, "Who is responsible for the HS Blossom and Snow Moon project?"
Chen Ling dared not take responsibility. GK Company was unable to deliver, and Gu Yanshen had requested that each screen saver on the mobile phone include a small horn button. This design had attracted significant attention in Chen County at the time. Now, having Ji Zhenyan create it again was a piece of cake.
However, Chen Ling stubbornly told Gu Yanshen, "Ji Zhenyan can’t do it anymore!"
Gu Yanshen did not believe this; in his view, Chen Ling was particularly cunning. He said, "Isn't this project your responsibility? Aren't you the designer at HS? Is Ji Zhenyan a designer? I heard she is a consultant!"
Chen Ling felt like crying when he heard this. Zhen Shu entered the office and was shocked by the scene. Not knowing how to mediate, he kindly invited Gu Yanshen to sit in his office.
Gu Yanshen was not swayed by this and went to find Jiang Chengfeng. The latter looked at Gu Yanshen in surprise and said, "No way, Chen Ling actually can't do it! Ji Zhenyan even recommended her to me! I need to scold her!"
Upon hearing this, Gu Yanshen thought that Ji Zhenyan was quite clever; she knew she was the only one who could do it. Feeling a bit pleased with himself, he asked, "Is Ji Zhenyan from GK Company?"
Jiang Chengfeng's expression changed slightly; he became furious at the misinformation. "Our Ji Zhenyan is from HS Company! When did she become part of GK Company? The project you customized was specifically negotiated by GK Company's president with HS Group headquarters. It’s already difficult for us to manage; since they can’t do it, we’ll handle it ourselves. Rest assured."
Gu Yanshen nodded and provided detailed requirements. In addition to needing the horn feature, he wanted sound wave lines so that on the screen saver, it would resemble a village horn transforming from an unpleasant village horn into a refined mobile phone horn. Different screen savers could feature different people's voices.
Jiang Chengfeng saw this as an opportunity; it had highlights and set a precedent, so he immediately began negotiations. However, GK Company refused to give up this opportunity and was unwilling to let Ji Zhenyan take over. They insisted, "Ji Zhenyan is just a girl; her abilities are too limited to delay a major client's project."
At Hangzhou HS Headquarters, Jiang Chengfeng nearly got into an argument with GK President Lu Jiancheng.
Eventually, Gu Yanshen came over and saw both parties present. He stated, "The project is for HS Lixian; it's not for your group headquarters. Our budget is limited; we don’t want to undertake a large project."
Looking back at everyone in the conference room, he continued, "I hope for a reliable team to handle this. GK Company has delayed me for a month; I promised the villagers I would complete it in one month and seven days—I don’t want to slap myself in the face!"
Given this situation, there were only seven days left to create 108 screen savers.
The president of GK Company never expected that such an opportunity for achievement would be wasted by their Haicheng branch. He understood his team well; while they could execute tasks, design was their weak point. Although Chen Ling at HS Lixian was involved in design work, she was still too inexperienced. Ji Zhenyan could be dealt with later. He said, "Let’s see what President Lu decides."
Lu Jiancheng glanced at HS Group's president Ye Wusheng, who said, "Let Ji Zhenyan handle it!"
Ji Zhenyan received a call from Lu Jiancheng summoning her to Lixian and checked into a hotel. At that same time, the entire corridor was brightly lit, illuminating her path back to the hotel. Ji Zhenyan would be in Lixian for seven days; no objections were raised from the research institute—just reassurances for her to go with peace of mind. After closing the door behind her, she opened the floor-to-ceiling window and leaned out her head; Gu Yanshen stood on the street outside the hotel looking back at that window—he seemed to see her there.
