Love belongs to the mountains and seas, I don't belong to you

At the top level of Carls, Lin Cong was able to get along well with all the bosses.

"Thank you all for your strong support over the past year. On behalf of the Xia Group, I would like to toast you all with this glass of wine!" After saying this, Lin Cong drank the wine in one gulp.

When it comes to drinking, Lin Cong is very experienced. Even if a bottle of white wine is empty, she is still very sober.

At this time, Ye Wenhai, who was sitting next to Lin Cong, stood up. He looked at Lin Cong with a playful look in his eyes.

"Miss Lin, you have worked hard this year. We must continue to cooperate next year!" After Ye Wenhai said this, he extended his hand to signal Lin Cong to shake hands.

Lin Cong was already accustomed to this kind of scene. She smiled and held Ye Wenhai's hand, "I hope Mr. Ye will continue to support me in the future." Ye Wenhai was the largest customer of Xia Group. As the general manager of the sales department, Lin Cong was very familiar with him.

Ye Wenhai did not let go of Lin Cong's hand for a long time. He looked at Lin Cong, then slowly pulled Lin Cong's hand to his mouth and kissed it.

Lin Cong coquettishly pushed Ye Wenhai away, "Mr. Ye, you really love to joke."

Seeing Lin Cong's expression, Ye Wenhai became even more reckless. He put his arm around Lin Cong's shoulders and said to everyone, "This beautiful lady Lin is extremely difficult to get an appointment with. I've tried to get an appointment with her a few times, but she was either away on business. I think she's definitely free today, so I'll book her next appointment in advance. Can you all bear witness?"

Seeing this, everyone started to jeer and echo.

At this moment, Lin Cong was in a dilemma. If she rejected Ye Wenhai in public, she would definitely offend the big client. If she agreed, she knew very well Ye Wenhai's lustful nature, and that he always took advantage of her intentionally or unintentionally. If she really had to be alone with him, she was afraid that she would not be able to resist.

Su Qian, sitting at the head of the table, watched the scene with great interest. In his opinion, how could the woman known throughout the company as a "social butterfly" be troubled by such a small matter? Wasn't drinking and chatting or sleeping a night out what she was best at?

"Mr. Ye, I'm afraid I can't make it today. I have to leave for City B later." Lin Cong wanted to find an excuse to deal with it. After all, business trips were common for her.

"Oh? Is it always so unlucky to ask out the beautiful Lin?" Ye Wenhai's tone clearly contained some doubt and anger.

In order to date Lin Cong, Ye Wenhai tried his best, but every time Lin Cong would refuse with various excuses. He was already married and could not pursue her openly, but every time he thought of Lin Cong's swaying figure, he was still unwilling to give up. If Ye Wenhai liked a woman, he must get her.

"Business trip? How come even I, the general manager, don't know about this itinerary?" As soon as Su Qian's voice came out, everyone in the room immediately fell silent.

Although Su Qian is the acting general manager of Xia Group, everyone knows that Su Qian is the future heir.

Xia Qianshan had only one daughter, and Su Qian was a live-in son-in-law. Long before they married, Su Qian had already taken on most of the Xia Group's affairs. After their marriage, Su Qian even assumed the role of acting general manager, a title so utterly meaningless that Su Qian made all the decisions, big or small, about the Xia Group.

"Boss Su, I haven't had time to report to you yet. Qilin has sent someone over. If the negotiations are successful, we can sign the contract." Lin Cong said this without showing any unusual expression, but she was nervous. Qilin had only expressed interest, not yet reached the stage of signing a contract. If the Xia Group could reach a partnership with Qilin, it would completely open up the home furnishing market, so Su Qian valued this cooperation very much.

Su Qian smiled, "Boss Ye, I'm afraid I'm going to spoil your fun this time. Lin Cong is indeed going on a business trip."

Ye Wenhai spread his hands and said, "Boss Ye has spoken, so I'll ask Miss Lin out next time!"

Lin Cong breathed a sigh of relief. She raised her glass and said to Ye Wenhai, "Please bear with me, Mr. Ye." Then she drank it all again.

In the car, Su Qian leaned back in the seat with his eyes closed.

Lin Cong was sitting in the passenger seat. She turned around and saw that Su Qian seemed to be asleep, so she turned down the music.

"So, when do we leave for City B?"

"Mr. Su, I..."

"I'll go tonight. I'll go after I talk to Qilin."

"Then what if..."

“There is no if, only success and no failure.”

Lin Cong wanted to say something, but he swallowed it back, and in the end, he only uttered a faint "hmm".

Flights to City B were sold out, so Lin Cong had no choice but to take the high-speed rail.

There was only one late-night high-speed train from City A to City B, a journey of nearly six hours, and it would not arrive in City B until the early morning. She went home, packed her luggage, and hurried to the train station.

Lin Cong always regarded Su Qian's words as imperial decrees, and always completed perfectly whatever Su Qian said to do.

After boarding the high-speed train, the alcohol's effects began to kick in. Lin Cong opened her package, looking for headache medicine, but realized she'd left in such a hurry that she hadn't taken any. She rubbed her temples vigorously, but it had no effect.

As soon as Lin Cong got in the car, Lu Yanqi noticed her. He didn't take his eyes off her until she sat down next to him. She was tall and graceful, but her most beautiful feature was her eyes, charming yet otherworldly.

"uncomfortable?"

Lin Cong opened his eyes, looked to the side following the sound, and nodded helplessly.

Lu Yanqi felt inexplicably distressed when he saw Lin Cong's slightly frowned brow. He wanted to lend a hand, but felt it was a bit presumptuous. "Have you been drinking?"

"Well, there was a drinking party I had to attend, and I ended up coming in such a hurry that I forgot to bring my headache medicine."

"You wait a moment."

Lu Yanqi left after he finished speaking, and Lin Cong didn't care about anything else. At this moment, she had a splitting headache. It was always like this. Although she could drink as much as she wanted at the dinner table, the alcohol would take effect, and she would have an unbearable headache. When it was serious, headache medicine was useless.

"Come, drink some hot water and take some painkillers, maybe it will help."

Lin Cong took it and swallowed the medicine quickly. After finishing it, Lin Cong fell asleep in a daze.

The high-speed train announcement woke Lin Cong. She checked the time and realized she'd slept for over two hours. Seeing Lu Yanqi sleeping next to her, she suddenly remembered what had happened when she boarded the train. She must have been laughed at for looking so embarrassed. Lin Cong smiled helplessly. By then, she was completely awake. She pulled out Qilin's information and began to look through it, hoping to refine her plan.

Although Lin Cong moved very lightly, he still bumped into Lu Yanqi next to him.

Lu Yanqi stretched sleepily. He casually glanced at the document in Lin Cong's hand. The word "Qilin" was crystal clear. He looked at Lin Cong and laughed. "Beautiful lady, how dedicated are you? You scared me to death when you got in the car. Are you ready to start working now?"

"Alas, there's nothing I can do. I have to make a living." Lin Cong curled his lips and said to Lu Yanqi jokingly.

"I can tell from the first glance that your boss is not a good person. He is definitely an evil capitalist."

"Yes, it's not a good thing!" Lin Cong didn't know why, but the person next to her made her feel inexplicably relaxed when he spoke. "By the way, thank you for today, I..."

"Promise yourself to me!"

Lin Cong looked at Lu Yanqi in surprise, not knowing what to say.

Lu Yanqi looked at Lin Cong's wide eyes and was immediately amused. "I'm just kidding, but you can add me as a friend and treat me to a meal when you have time."

Lin Cong smiled and shook his head: "Sorry, it seems I can only owe you a meal."

"Dear passengers, the train is about to arrive at City B. Passengers getting off in City B please prepare their luggage and get off the train." The voice of the broadcast interrupted the conversation between the two people.

Lin Cong packed up his things and prepared to get off the car. "I'm leaving first. Goodbye."

Lu Yanqi waved his hand and thought to himself that they should meet soon.
