Arranged marriage, love blossoms; a fiercely devoted soldier dotes on her alone.

"what!"

Mu Xiuzi gasped in shock. She never dreamed that Lin Zijian would be so shameless as to publicly ask her to be with him.

How could this person be so despicable and shameless?

Don't they realize how old they are?

Mako Ishida didn't expect Lin Zijian to add conditions at the last minute, and that he wanted her beautiful secretary, Mu Xiuzi, who was not an outsider but her cousin.

Ishida Mako's pretty face darkened, her eyes flashing with a sharp edge. Her jawline tightened further as she coldly said, "Lin Zijian, don't go too far. I've given you an inch, but you're pushing your luck. If I give you a foot, you'll be riding on my head and peeing and shitting on me."

Lin Zijian grinned and said, "Haha, General Manager Zhenzi, I only need one secretary by your side. I don't need you to accompany me. Besides, I just want her to be a bridge for communication between us, so that we can contact each other in a timely manner. Isn't that good?"

After Lin Zijian finished speaking, he looked at Mu Xiuzi with a pair of wolf-like eyes. Mu Xiuzi was wearing a simple white, tight-fitting bodycon dress that hugged her shapely figure, with a prominent bust and buttocks. Her long, straight, black hair fell naturally to her shoulders, and her bangs were slightly curled. This curl was the perfect finishing touch, giving her a unique charm. Her almond-shaped eyes were filled with a hidden allure, and her red lips were slightly parted. She possessed a natural charm that was simply irresistible...

When Ishida Mako heard Lin Zijian say this, she couldn't help but hesitate. It could be said that what Lin Zijian said made a lot of sense.

After a brief moment of thought, Mako Ishida said, "That's fine. Let Hideko Ki be the liaison between us."

Lin Zijian said happily, "Miss Zhenzi is so straightforward."

Upon hearing this, Mu Xiuzi's eyes instantly reddened, but she had neither the right nor the power to resist her cousin's words...

"Thud!"

Lin Zijian lit a cigarette and said, "Miss Zhenzi, then return the IOU I wrote to me. The USB drive is yours."

Mako Ishida nodded and said, "Of course. Hideko Ki, go and get the document that Mr. Hayashi wrote."

Mu Xiuzi replied, "Yes, General Manager."

Then he turned and walked out.

After a while

Hideko Kiki walked in with a document and handed it to Mako Ishida, saying softly, "General Manager, the document is here."

Mako Ishida took it, looked at it, and handed it to Lin Zijian, saying, "This is the original document that President Lin wrote back then. I'm returning it to you now, and from this day forward, our debts are wiped clean."

Lin Zijian did not reach out to take it, but gestured for his lawyer to take the document. After taking it and examining it carefully, the lawyer said, "Mr. Lin, this is indeed the original document you wrote."

Lin Zijian said in a deep voice, "Burn it!"

Without saying a word, the lawyer took out a lighter and lit the document.

"Take off!"

A burst of fire rose, and the document instantly turned to ashes.

Lin Zijian stood up and said, "Ms. Zhenzi, it's a pleasure working with you. I have an important meeting to attend in a little while, so I won't bother you any longer. Let's keep in touch."

Mako Ishida stood up and said, "It's been a pleasure doing business with you, Mr. Lin. Take care. Hideko Kizuna, please see Mr. Lin out."

Lin Zijian laughed and said, "It's not a farewell, it's coming with me."

Kiki Hideko stood there, staring at Ishida Mako. She still couldn't believe that her cousin would give her away to a middle-aged man.

Lin Zijian sneered, "What's wrong? You're unwilling? Don't forget, I haven't given you the secrets to the chip technology materials yet!"

"Without a password, you can only see the materials directory, but you cannot open the folders inside, so you cannot read or copy the technical parameters."

Mako Ishida's eyes flickered a few times, and she said through gritted teeth, "Hideko Ki, you go with President Lin."

Mu Xiuzi felt like vomiting when she saw Lin Zijian's greasy old man appearance. She was only in her twenties, while Lin Zijian was almost sixty, older than her own father.

Just as she was hesitating.

Mako Ishida shouted angrily, "Hideko Ki, didn't you hear me? You idiot!"

Mu Xiuzi trembled with fright and quickly said, "Mu Xiuzi understands, I'm willing to go with President Lin."

Lin Zijian said smugly to Ishida Mako, "When Ki Hideko comes back, I will tell her the password."

Mako Ishida was so angry she felt like she was going to vomit blood. She knew that Lin Zijian had her figured out this time. There was nothing she could do but compromise if she wanted to get the core three-nanometer technology data.

Besides, face is worthless in the face of money. She cursed inwardly, "Lin Zijian, you just wait, I'll make you cough it all up, with interest!"

But he said, "Mu Xiuzi, you should cooperate well with President Lin. President Lin is clearly a man who knows how to cherish women."

Kiki Hideko said resentfully, "I understand."

"Hahaha, I'm leaving, Miss Mako, please wait."

In fact, Mako Ishida never intended to give it to him.

Lin Zijian chuckled and stepped forward, taking Mu Xiuzi's soft, boneless hand in his, as they walked out of Ishida Mako's office.

The lawyer quickly followed.

Uncle Lin and Mako Ishida exchanged a glance, nodded silently in unison, and then Uncle Lin quickly followed after them...

Around noon,

Qin Huanhuan and Hua Ying arrived at a small restaurant near the school. Despite its small size, it was a well-known internet-famous hole-in-the-wall restaurant in the area. It was lunchtime, and the small restaurant was already full of people, mostly local residents and students from Tsinghua and Peking Universities.

After much effort, the two managed to share a table with other people thanks to the proprietress's coordination. Qin Huanhuan said, "Hua Ying, you order today. Order whatever you want."

Let's splurge a little today.

Hua Ying smiled and said, "Okay, then I won't be polite. Boss, one serving of sweet and sour pork, one serving of stir-fried chicken, one serving of boiled fish, one serving of garlic bok choy, two bottles of Beibingyang soda, and two bowls of rice."

The kind proprietress, while taking notes, asked, "Young lady, can the two of you finish four dishes?"

Qin Huanhuan: "It's alright, boss lady, just bring out the food."

Hua Ying said, "Boss lady, we both passed our graduation theses, so let's have something nice to celebrate."

The proprietress smiled and said, "I see. Congratulations to you two beautiful ladies. I'll give you a tomato and egg soup as a gift. Now you have four dishes and a soup, a comfortable life indeed."

"Thank you, boss lady!"

After a while

The dishes are here.

Just then, the people who shared the table with us finished eating and left.

Hua Ying raised the Arctic Ocean soda and said with some emotion, "Huanhuan, come on, let's celebrate. Four years of university are almost over, time really flies. Luckily, we've both joined the same company now, so we can continue to be together."

Qin Huanhuan raised a bottle of Arctic Ocean soda and said, "A toast to our past university days, a toast to our promising future, a toast to our everlasting friendship, and a toast to us always being best friends."

"when!"

Two Arctic Ocean bottles collided.

"Wow, aren't these two of our school's most beautiful girls?"

"That's strange, why aren't there any handsome guys having dinner with you two?"

Suddenly, a sarcastic voice came from behind the two of them.

Qin Huanhuan and Hua Ying are both recognized as campus beauties at Tsinghua and Peking Universities.

Hua Ying was sitting facing the door when she looked up and saw who it was. She frowned and said, "Wu Yifeng, can you please stop being so sarcastic?"

Whether we have someone to eat with or not is none of your business.

Wu Yifeng is also a senior college student. He once pursued Qin Huanhuan, but after being rejected, he kept talking badly about her behind her back.
