How many loves can be relived in the story of a devoted CEO pursuing his wife?

"Knock knock knock."

While I was tidying up, there was a knock on the office door.

The two looked towards the door at the same time, and Lei Ke entered.

"Director Lei."

"Hello, Director Lei."

"Hmm, is everything packed?" Lei Ke responded and slowly walked into Liu Sisi's office.

As he looked around the area, which was mostly tidied up, he remarked with emotion, "Ah~, Sisi, we've been working together for almost four years now, haven't we? If it weren't for the 5G R&D project team needing more staff from each department, I really wouldn't have been willing to let you go."

"Oh?" Liu Sisi stopped what she was doing.

She hadn't expected that Lin Xuedong would use the investment in the 5G project to transfer her away quietly. Ha, that man is really cunning.

“Yes, the Lin Group will set up a project team for the development of the 5G intelligent autonomous driving system. President Lin will personally supervise it. He needs an assistant secretary to coordinate the work of various departments and communicate with partners.” Lei Ke smiled, feeling very gratified to see his capable colleague of many years being highly appreciated.

"The contract you negotiated with Yoshimoto this time proves your marketing planning abilities. So when they asked me for people, I recommended you immediately. The 5G project has great potential, so keep up the good work!" Lei Ke approached Liu Sisi, raised his hand, and gently patted her shoulder twice to encourage her.

"Yes, I will try my best." Liu Sisi smiled and bowed to him in thanks. She was always humble and courteous, neither arrogant nor servile. "Director Lei, thank you for your care over the years. I'll have to trouble you to work harder here in the future."

Lei Ke shook her head, disagreeing with her self-deprecation. "It's your own ability."

Liu Sisi smiled but remained silent.

"They're setting up a project team and need people urgently, so pack your things and head over. Come back and chat with me whenever you have free time. Okay?" After giving these instructions, Lei Ke left.

Located off the city center, the eastern lakeside area is surrounded by beautiful lakes and mountains, with willows swaying in the breeze.

This area preserves many mansions in the pre-war style, all of which exude elegance and nobility in their understated details.

The Lin family mansion is one of them.

At 6:30 p.m., Lin Lan and Lin Xuedong arrived at approximately ten minutes apart.

The two entered the main building together. Upon hearing the cheerful laughter in the hall, they exchanged glances and shrugged. Unsure of what secrets lay within, they strode into the living room.

"Oh, Adong and Lanlan are back." Mother Xie Xue was the first to see them enter the house.

A wealthy woman in her early sixties, with a full figure, neat short curly hair, a kind smile, and a medium height, but with skin as white and smooth as jade. It's clear she takes good care of herself, so she doesn't look old at all.

"mom."

"Mommy." Lin Lan walked over and gently hugged Xie Xue.

After graduating and starting work at Lin's, Lin Lan followed her brother's example and moved to an apartment in the city center to live alone.

They rarely see their families, only occasionally meeting at seasonal family gatherings, but this does not affect the kinship between them.

Xie Xue was naturally overjoyed to see her two children. "Hey, it's good to see you back."

"Brother Xuedong." Zeng Ziyan, who was sitting next to Xie Xue chatting with her, stood up when she saw them enter the room, and greeted Lin Xuedong with a shy smile.

Lin Xuedong frowned, seemingly guessing why she was there.

However, it doesn't matter. He simply nodded calmly and hummed in agreement.

Then, his deep black eyes swept over Xie Xue, his voice calm. "Where's my dad?"

“Look, he’s talking to your Uncle Zeng in the study.” Xie Xue replied, glancing up at the second floor.

"Yes, I also have something to talk to Dad about." After saying that, he walked upstairs to the study.

"Ah Dong!" Xie Xue took two steps forward and blocked his way.

She reached out and took her son's arm, drawing closer to him, and whispered in a voice only they could hear, "They're talking about your marriage to Ziyan, so stop being so coy."

"Mom!" Lin Xuedong's body stiffened slightly, and he stopped in his tracks. He growled angrily, "I have my own plans for my affairs. Didn't I tell you all to stay out of it?"

Xie Xue was afraid his son would cause trouble, so he had explicitly opposed the marriage six months ago.

However, the business marriage involved two families, and the husband had a close relationship with the Zeng family.

Moreover, Miss Zeng Ziyan is a well-bred young lady, gentle and kind, and beautiful. Lin Xuedong, on the other hand, has always been single, so she couldn't understand why her son was so resistant to this.

“But this isn’t just about you.” Xie Xue frowned, caught in the middle between her husband and son. “Adong, you’re not young anymore. Your father and I only have you as our son. Don’t stay single forever; you have to think about us and the family.”

Lin Xuedong didn't reply to her, but turned his head, his deep gaze sweeping over Zeng Ziyan standing behind him. Zeng Ziyan felt a little flustered by his gaze and quickly lowered her head.

That's right. After the party that day, she called Xie Xue and brought up the marriage proposal to her father again, which led to tonight's meeting.

In the past two days, she has also found out some information about Liu Sisi's situation.

He was just an insignificant mid-level employee at Lin's company, with no real background. It seemed he was simply using his position to get close to Lin Xuedong and climb the corporate ladder.

If the two companies are never a good match, the novelty will wear off and the relationship may be over.

Lin Lan, who was also in the living room, watched their standoff. She felt a headache for Lin Xuedong; the same matchmaking tactics he had been using for the past six months were really getting to him.

"Mommy, why don't you just let my brother talk to Daddy?" She walked over, pulled Xie Xue aside, and said in a feignedly coquettish tone. "Let's not concern ourselves with their men's affairs for now. Come on, I'm hungry. Let's go to the kitchen and see what Aunt Wang has prepared. Hmm?"

"You'd better watch yourself." Xie Xue glared at her son, then dragged Zeng Ziyan and Lin Lan toward the restaurant.

"Knock knock knock."

The door to the study on the second floor was open. Lin Zhicheng and Zeng Fan were sitting on the sofa inside, sipping tea and chatting. Lin Xuedong politely raised his hand and knocked on the study door.

"Oh, Dong'er's here, come in!" Lin Zhicheng looked at his son at the door and greeted him kindly.

Lin Xuedong greeted them and strode into the room. "Dad, Uncle Zeng, hello."

Zeng Fan is the chairman of the Zeng Group. He is sixty years old and five years younger than Lin Zhicheng. Many years ago, he followed Lin Zhicheng and made a name for himself in the real estate and construction industry. Now, the Zeng Group is a well-known real estate and construction developer in S City.

However, in recent years, the real estate market has been sluggish, and the Zeng family's performance and management have not been ideal. Therefore, Zeng Fan has always preferred to form a marriage alliance with the Lin family.

He was impressed by Lin Xuedong's business acumen and efficient management skills. He hoped that through the marriage, the Zeng family could achieve new heights under his leadership.

In his early years, the Lin family was also involved in the real estate and construction business. Lin Xuedong, however, studied electronic engineering in the sciences. After taking over the Lin family business, he shifted the focus to the semiconductor chip industry.

Initially, they focused on the research and development and production of semiconductor chips. Later, with market development, their business expanded to related equipment and facilities, such as network data terminals, base station equipment, CNC system devices, and consumer electronics products, including their research, development, production, and maintenance.

The original real estate and construction business was continued to be controlled by the father.

Because the real estate business has high costs, slow turnover, and no sustainable returns, coupled with high risks, intense market competition, and many uncertainties, including political changes, it is no longer the group's main business.

In recent years, Lin Zhicheng has been living a life of ease and comfort, without making any major business expansions.

Most of the time, he would collect and acquire usable land for his son to build a factory. The rest of the time, he would help out his close friend Zeng Fan.

"Ah Dong, have you met Zi Yan yet?" Lin Zhicheng took the initiative to start a conversation.

Lin Xuedong sat down, his face showing little emotion. "Hmm."
