After Han Qianjing was done with her work, she returned and realized that the courtyard was silent. She went straight to the bedroom and looked at the bed. “Chu Jinyu, why are you still sleeping in bed? Don’t you know how precious time is?”

When she was young, she only slept two to three hours a day because of her work. Why was her daughter so lazy? She could not understand no matter how she thought about it.

When Chu Jinyu heard her voice, she instinctively sat up.

Her messy hair and red rings around her eyes made her look extremely disheveled. She said weakly, “Sorry, I slept in.”

Han Qianjing did not like her frail look. She said coldly, “Did you not sleep much last night? Do you think you can really continue to stay in Shanghai with your current mental state?”

The moment that was said, Chu Jinyu immediately looked at her and said, “I can do it! This is only temporary.”

“Oh? That’d better be the case.”

Han Qianjing turned around and said, “Freshen up. I’ll wait for you in the hall.”

The door closed and Chu Jinyu walked unsteadily to the toilet. She looked at the woman in the mirror and revealed a mocking smile. Indeed, after thinking for the entire night, she still could not make herself forget Lu Ming.

She used cosmetics to hide the fatigue on her face. Right after, she put on a casual shirt and went to the hall. Breakfast was already laid out on the table. She sat opposite Han Qianjing and the two of them picked up their cutlery, one after another.

A tense silence hung in the air.

After some time, Han Qianjing picked up a cup of coffee and said, “I know a young man about your age. Not only is he young and promising, but his character is also quite good. Furthermore, he’s the new owner of No. 1 Residence. If there’s a chance, you should get to know him.”

“You’ve never met him, so how would you know that he has a good character?”

Chu Jinyu muttered softly. She was a little surprised to learn that the owner of No. 1 Residence was a young man. After all, she thought that the people who could afford to purchase it were all middle-aged men of high status or even older.

In her opinion, only someone who had relied on his own hard work to own this house could be considered young and promising. However, if he had bought it with his family wealth, it could only mean that he had reincarnated well.

When Han Qianjing heard this, she took a sip of coffee and said, “You haven’t interacted with him before, so how would you know that he’s not suitable for you? Besides, even if you two don’t get along, with his financial situation, he can provide for you. In addition, our side isn’t bad either. It can be said that it’s an alliance of the strong.”

If this marriage was successful, it would be beneficial for her.

Chu Jinyu said unhappily, “Do you only care about the company’s benefits?”

Han Qianjing did not say anything and simply looked at her daughter silently until Chu Jinyu started to back down.

“If you can be better than me, I will choose to listen to your opinion. Or if the suitor you find is better than the one I show you, then you can do whatever you want, but… right now, you can’t.”

Han Qianjing felt that since her daughter could not, she should just listen to her.

Chu Jinyu put down her bowl and chopsticks and said, “I’m done eating.”

Seeing that she was about to leave, Han Qianjing asked, “Where are you going?”

“Company.”

Looking at her daughter’s departing figure, Han Qianjing sighed helplessly.?“Why did she become more rebellious as she got older? As her mother, I would not harm her. When would she understand this?” n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

As Chu Jinyu was walking out, she saw an unexpected scene—

Lu Ming was actually leaving No. 1 in a leisurely manner!

“Wasn’t he here to discuss business? Why did he stay overnight?”?she wondered.

She wondered if Lu Ming had a good relationship with the owner of No. 1 Residence.

“However, no matter how good their relationship is, could it be so good that he stayed overnight? Or are they related? That doesn’t seem right.”?She remembered that Lu Ming came from an ordinary family.?“How could he know such a rich person?”

Her mind raced. She suddenly recalled that Lu Ming mentioned that he wanted to buy a house at Upper Forest Park yesterday.?“However, based on his financial ability, wasn’t it a joke?”

The owner of No. 1 Residence was about the same age as her.

Han Qianjing’s words rang out again. Lu Ming and she were not that far apart in age.

“Could it be…”?she thought.

“No, no, no. This is simply a fantasy!”

She rationalized that if Lu Ming was really that capable, there should have been a change in his style of dressing. However, what he was wearing clearly looked like ordinary clothes. She reckoned that they would not even cost 500 yuan in total.

She thought perhaps Lu Ming did not reach an agreement yesterday and he had come early this morning to try to negotiate.

At the thought of this, she was convinced that this was the case. For some reason, she could not help but feel a little disappointed. At the same time, it crossed her mind that if Lu Ming was really the owner of No. 1 Residence, her mother would definitely consent to their marriage without hesitation.

However, even if Lu Ming had no credentials right now, she could create them! She wanted to help him develop the credentials that would keep him by her side!

So she took out her phone and sent a text message.

Binjiang office, top floor.

Lu Ming, who had originally planned to head to his office to settle some matters, came over after receiving the text message from Chu Jinyu. He sat on the soft, branded sofa and asked, “Is there something you want to discuss?”

“Let’s work together. I value your ability very much. I hope to hand over the company’s perfume research and development board to you.”

Currently, Chu Jinyu’s company was mainly involved in the cosmetics industry. The plan for the future was to expand into new markets—clothes, skincare, and other women’s products. Meanwhile, the research and development department was the most mature section of the company. She wanted to use this collaboration to improve Lu Ming’s social status. If he could deliver results one day, the obstacles from her mother’s side would be reduced.

This was also the fastest shortcut now. If Lu Ming was to start from being just an ordinary office employee, she would probably be married to someone else before he could reach the level that would please her mother.

Lu Ming did not know her good intentions. As he had other work to do, he could not squeeze out the time to collaborate with her.

But just as he was about to reject her offer, the system’s cold voice sounded in his ears.

[Host, please make one of the following choices:]

“Star Creation?”

He rubbed his chin and thought to himself,?“If I remember correctly, most of the popular celebrities are from this company, right?”

It could be said to be the pillar of the entertainment industry. Every year, there were countless new people who wanted to sign deals with Star Creation.

After all, there was a saying—if you had signed a contract with Star Creation, it would be difficult for you not to become popular.
