After telling her parents the truth, Lin Ting felt instantly relaxed.

It's like a long-held burden has been lifted, allowing me to run three kilometers in one go without faking a fall.

only……

The Lin family's life remained unchanged.

Lin Ting did try to make changes, but all her proposals were rejected.

"Dad, why don't you go get your driver's license? I'll buy a car for the family."

Lin's father: "It only takes ten minutes to ride a bicycle from home to work, so why did I specifically practice starting and stopping?"

"Mom, how about we buy an apartment? We can buy one floor, and use half of it as a study, what do you think?"

Lin's mother: "No, this house is in such a good location, close to your dad's workplace, and we've all been neighbors for a long time. Why move?"

Lin Ting felt helpless about this and had no good solutions.

However, Lin's mother still made a request: she took Lin Ting to the bank to open a new account and asked her to deposit 100,000 yuan into it every month.

“Your business is about making money from money, so don’t save too much at once,” Lin’s mother said. She understood philosophy and economics. “I’m letting you save some money for a rainy day. I’ll keep an eye on this money for you, and I won’t give it to you unless it’s the most difficult time.”

Lin Ting took her mother's arm and obediently replied, "Okay, I understand."

Lin Ting had no idea that her mother's decision would actually save her in the future.

……

Friday arrived in the blink of an eye.

Lin Ting and Jiang Zong had no classes in the afternoon, so they booked afternoon flights to Beijing.

Jiang Zong worked the whole way, and Lin Ting was not idle either, quietly reading a grammar book.

None of them said much; it seemed that as long as they sat together like this, they wouldn't feel bored.

The car that picked them up at the airport was from the Jiang family. Ever since Mr. Jiang acquired the land, the Jiang family team had followed, and in just a few months, they had built a smoothly operating company.

"Mr. Jiang, Miss Lin."

The person who picked me up at the airport was Zhou Rui, the project manager here. He was not tall, wore black-rimmed glasses, and had a refined and friendly demeanor. He didn't look like a senior executive, but rather like a primary school teacher.

Once in the car, Jiang Zongcai looked at Zhou Rui with a questioning gaze.

Zhou Rui continued to smile, as if that smile was already welded to his face. No matter what situation he encountered, he would always respond with an upturned mouth.

“The architectural drawings have been returned four times, each time with extremely minor issues. I tried to arrange a meeting with the other party, but they kept making excuses.”

When it came to serious matters, Zhou Rui displayed a decisiveness completely different from his honest and simple smile, explaining the issue clearly in just a few words.

The problem only occurred in one project. With the other projects already underway, this project hadn't even taken the first step, which was clearly a deliberate attempt to make things difficult and trip it up.

Zhou Rui continued, "I've met with people I can talk to a few times, but the leader of the unit in charge of this project was just transferred from the local area. It's unclear which side he's on good terms with, and everyone is trying to find out."

Lin Ting unconsciously turned to look at Jiang Zong, her eyes filled with sympathy.

Previously, Jiang's father had instructed Lin Ting to use the project as an opportunity to firmly establish himself in Beijing, and Lin Ting did indeed take this opportunity to befriend a group of emerging peers in the capital.

Until half a month ago, Jiang's father specifically asked her to hand over this project to Jiang Zong.

Lin Ting didn't think much of it at the time, because she had never been involved in the project's operation. She only had meals with Gao Che and the others when necessary.

Now, thinking back to what her mentor told her to stop getting involved in the project...

My master is such a kind person.

He only harms his own son.
