What caught Chu Yin’s eye was an extremely unfamiliar face.
A smart windbreaker, a delicate appearance; overall, she looked like a well-off white-collar worker.
But Chu Yin remembered that Lin Zhiyi seemed not to know such a person.
The clients she faced now were rather high-end, and the woman before her seemed out of reach.
At this moment, the front desk, still looking puzzled, pointed to the coffee in front of the woman.
"Miss, President Lin is fully booked today, she really doesn’t have time, but she said you could have a cup of coffee and schedule for another time."
"You..."
"Please sit down."
The receptionist gave her no chance to refute, topped up the coffee, and turned away.
Seeing this, Chu Yin also retreated to the corridor and headed towards Lin Zhiyi’s office.
Just then, she ran into Chen Jin coming out.
"Assistant Chen, who’s that person making a fuss to see Zhiyi?"
"President Lin didn’t specify, but she doesn’t seem very fond of her. The other party previously handed over a business card; she’s a journalist from a fashion magazine," Chen Jin explained.
"Journalist? No wonder I saw a badge hanging from her chest," Chu Yin recalled, "I’m going to see Zhiyi."
With that, she quickly entered Lin Zhiyi’s office.
Lin Zhiyi was drinking tea, looking quite hopeless.
"What’s going on? You’ve been interviewed by journalists before and never seemed this bothered," Chu Yin said as she approached.
Hearing the voice, Lin Zhiyi immediately stood up.
"Chu Yin, are you alright now?"
"I’ve been fine for a while; I’m asking you, do you really know the woman outside?" Chu Yin asked, slightly gossiping.
Lin Zhiyi pursed her lips: "Yes, I know her, high school classmate."
Chu Yin poured herself a cup of tea: "Looks like you’ve really become famous; even high school classmates are coming to find you."
"I’d rather she hadn’t come; she wasn’t a good person in high school," Lin Zhiyi sighed.
"What happened with her?"
"I attended a regular high school; her family was well-off, among the better-off in school. Her family had paved her way early on, and in school, she formed cliques to bully ordinary students."
"She dared to bully you? Didn’t she know who you were backed by? I heard Third Young Master was quite fond of you during high school," Chu Yin said, shocked.
Lin Zhiyi refuted: "What are you thinking? How could it be possible? Third Young Master was busy then, flying abroad to study and handling company affairs, where would he find time for me?"
Chu Yin made a questioning sound.
"You really think Third Young Master suddenly liked you?"
"This... I never asked, but certainly not that early; I wasn’t even an adult then, was he crazy?" Lin Zhiyi joked.
She went to the Gong Family at sixteen and met Gong Chen then.
He was already Third Young Master, what kind of women hadn’t he seen, what could he possibly think of her?
Though Lin Zhiyi had also asked Gong Chen when exactly he became interested in her, he always avoided the question.
She guessed it might have been after she went to university, or maybe that night?
Chu Yin propped her chin, looking understanding.
"So it’s a nurturing story, Third Young Master really hid it deep."
"Stop teasing me, let’s get back on topic. That girl was challenging to interact with, and as a regular student, I certainly didn’t want trouble; but for some reason, she just liked to bother me," Lin Zhiyi shook her head.
Chu Yin looked Lin Zhiyi up and down: "Even in high school, you shouldn’t have been too ordinary, right? I suspect you’re being modest."
"Really."
Lin Zhiyi pulled out her phone and found a high school graduation photo.
