Because she was addicted

Wen Jia turned to look at Zhou Jin:

"Brother-in-law, just say what's on your mind."

Zhou Jin rubbed his hands together. "Jiajia, it's like this. I own a building materials company, right? But the market hasn't been very good this year, and I haven't had any orders for several months. You work at S Group, could you help me connect with people at your subsidiary, Tianyu Construction?"

After saying that, fearing that Wen Jia would refuse, he quickly added, "Jiajia, just give me a way in, and I'll handle the connections myself. You don't need to do anything else. After it's done, your brother-in-law will give you a big red envelope."

Tianyu Construction is a subsidiary of S Group responsible for the real estate sector. They had previously participated in the bidding for the Gangcheng Resort Hotel project with M Group. Shen Li also worked at Tianyu, where she was the lead person for the resort project.

"Brother-in-law, I'll definitely help if I can. But I don't know anyone from Tianyu."

Wen Jia told the truth.

Zhou Jin's face changed color.

"Jiajia, your brother-in-law has never asked you for a favor. I wouldn't have asked if I hadn't really run out of options. You're a head of headquarters, and Tianyu is just a branch company under your company. Your word is worth more than me begging them for half a day. You can't even do such a small favor?"

"Brother-in-law, it's not that I don't want to help, it's just that I'm new here and don't know the area well. Besides, I have nothing to do with real estate projects, so I can't get involved."

"Jiajia, you can connect with anyone if you're determined. You just don't want to help, even though I went to great lengths to contact the hospital for Wen Zhao. Is this how you repay me?"

Zhou Jin's face was already very pale.

Wen Lin quickly intervened, "Alright, alright. Honey, Jiajia just joined the company, you need to give her some time to get familiar with things..."

"Shut up!"

Zhou Jin suddenly raised his voice and roared angrily.

The loud noise startled both Wen Lin and Wen Jia. Wen Lin's face stiffened for a moment, and tears quickly welled up in her eyes. She turned her head away, and the tears fell onto the quilt.

Wen Jia was also taken aback.

She didn't have much contact with Zhou Jin, but according to Wen Lin, Zhou Jin was a very gentle person who cared about his family and loved his wife and children.

"Brother-in-law..."

"Don't call me brother-in-law!"

Zhou Jin pushed the stool aside and stood up abruptly, then suddenly kicked the foot of the bed hard.

The hospital bed was kicked and moved.

Wen Lin curled up in fright on the bed.

"Holy crap!"

Zhou Jin cursed and turned to leave.

Wen Jia was left dumbfounded, unable to recover for a long time. Seeing Wen Lin huddled on the bed trembling, a thought suddenly flashed through Wen Jia's mind.

She grabbed Wen Lin's arm and said seriously:

"Sister, look me in the eyes. Answer me properly, how did you get these injuries?"

Wen Lin dared not look her in the eye, constantly blinking and avoiding her gaze.

"I fell while planting vegetables in the yard."

"How did you fall?"

"I just missed a step and fell. My mind went blank at the time, who remembers anything?"

"Sis, did he hit you?"

Wen Jia had always thought Zhou Jin was a gentle person, so she never considered the worst-case scenario when Wen Lin was injured. But now, seeing Zhou Jin suddenly become irritable and angry, and acting so violently, and seeing Wen Lin so afraid to even breathe, she couldn't help but consider other possibilities.

"..." Before Wen Lin could finish speaking, tears were already streaming down her face.

"He really hit him!?"

Despite being mentally prepared, Wen Jia was still shocked.

"Jiajia, your brother-in-law's company hasn't been doing well lately. He's been out entertaining clients every day trying to get orders, but there's been no improvement. He's very worried."

Wen Lin still wanted to plead on Zhou Jin's behalf.

"Sis, what are you thinking! Even if Zhou Jin is anxious, that's no excuse for him to beat his wife! Not being able to bring in business is a problem with his ability, but beating his wife at home shows he has even more character issues!"

Wen Jia was furious.

"No, we have to call the police! He beat you so badly that your spleen ruptured and you're hospitalized. I'll make him pay the price."

She turned around to get her bag as she spoke.

"Jiajia, no!"

Wen Lin reached out to stop her, shaking her head repeatedly while holding Wen Jia's hand.

"Jiajia, don't call the police. Your brother-in-law used to be very good to me, but he's been too upset lately, and I can't help him much. It was an accident, and it's also my fault for not standing properly and falling. I'm fine, really, I'm really fine."

"Sis, if you keep putting up with this, you'll only embolden him. He'll hit you whenever he's unhappy. Domestic violence is either zero times or countless times."

"Jiajia, if you call the police, how am I supposed to live in the Zhou family after this? Ruoruo is so young, and I don't have a job. If we offend Zhou Jin, we'll all be in big trouble. Jiajia, put down your phone, don't be impulsive."

"sister!"

Wen Jia felt sorry for Wen Lin, but was also angry at her lack of ambition.

"If Zhou Jin treats you badly, we can just get a divorce. You and Ruoruo can move in with me, and I'll support you."

Wen Lin wiped away her tears.

"Jiajia, you don't understand. When a husband and wife live under the same roof and eat from the same pot, how can they not fight? They even bite their tongues from time to time! Your brother-in-law knows he was wrong and has apologized to me. That's the end of it."

"But, sister..."

Wen Jia was about to speak when Wen Lin stopped her.

"Jiajia, you've always been strong-willed, good at studying and capable. Unlike you, I don't have much talent. I didn't do well in school, and my work was so-so. If I hadn't met your brother-in-law, I would still be a nurse working day and night shifts at Quzhou County Hospital. How could I be living such a carefree life now? I'm content."

Even though Wen Lin said that, Wen Jia still became more cautious.

She secretly took photos while Wen Lin wasn't looking. She also archived all of Wen Lin's hospital admission reports and examination forms.

After doing all that, she called Zhou Jin.

"Brother-in-law, my sister told me about your situation. I can give it a try, but I can't guarantee success."

On the other end of the phone, Zhou Jin was somewhat surprised.

But his anger turned to joy, and he said repeatedly, "Jiajia, as long as you're willing to ask, your brother-in-law believes it's definitely possible. My company has dozens of employees who are all counting on you."

After hanging up the phone, Wen Jia thought for a moment and then called Mike, the person in charge of Tianyu.

Back when she was still in the president's office at M Group, she had a few exchanges with Mike because of work. He was a meticulous and principled Frenchman.

She wasn't sure if she could help Zhou Jin.

……

Meanwhile, at 8 PM, in a bar.

The private room was bustling with activity, filled with familiar old friends.

Halfway through the drinks, Mike squinted as he hung up the phone, shaking it as he spoke to Lu Chenyan on the other end:

"My dear Yan, guess who called me?"

Lu Chenyan tilted his head back and finished the wine in his glass. His profile was handsome and aloof, but there was a hint of weariness and soreness in his eyes.

"Not interested."

He didn't even look up.

Mike, a white-haired Frenchman, spoke fluent Chinese. Upon hearing this, he turned to Fu Huaishen, who was standing to the side, and said:

"Hehe, our dearest little Yan has lost love and has lost interest in the whole world."

Fu Huaishen remained silent, sinking into the sofa and drinking quietly.

Mike was caught in the middle, looking distressed and complaining incessantly.

"Help! Have I fallen into a sea of ​​Casanovas? They're all madly in love. Come on! Don't forget, our enemies are still raging outside. How can you all be so dejected?!"

"I know Lao Nie's entertainment company recently signed a lot of female stars. Should we ask him to introduce you two? Breathers, we can't let one tree cause us to lose the whole forest!"

"Hahaha,"

Nie Xuming laughed loudly, pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses, and patted Mike on the shoulder.

"Old Mike, come on, tell me I'm interested."

Mike chuckled, deliberately making it very loud.

"We have a bay hotel project that's about to start construction, right? Lately, countless people have been coming to us trying to do business and build connections. Just now, a beautiful lady surnamed Wen asked me out to dinner and asked if I could give her a chance."

Upon hearing the beautiful woman surnamed Wen's words, Lu Chenyan, who had been lying on the sofa like a dead shrimp, finally began to react.

"Wen Jia? Why did she call you?"
