Yun Zijin spoke with righteous confidence, showing no signs of guilt whatsoever.
Yan Shutang knew that Yun Zijin definitely wasn’t telling the whole truth, and he felt a bit helpless.
But since Yun Zijin was unwilling to talk, there was nothing he could do.
"But what Mei Lin told us was that she only works for you. Without your orders, she won’t go with any of us."
Mei Lin’s words were already very clear. If they wanted her help, they needed to get Yun Zijin’s approval.
"Mei Lin’s affairs can only be decided by her."
Yun Zijin would absolutely not fall into this trap. If she admitted she could make decisions for Mei Lin, it would be a tacit admission that she controlled her.
In Hua Country, that was a huge taboo.
No matter who you were, anyone involved in human trafficking was despised by all who knew of it.
Seeing that Yun Zijin was truly unwilling to say more, Yan Shutang was filled with resignation.
He couldn’t exactly subject Yun Zijin to torture to force a confession.
"Miss Yun, I am being very serious with you about this matter. You should know how important Mei Lin’s system is to our country."
Yan Shutang’s expression was grave, as if Yun Zijin would be committing some unforgivable sin if she didn’t agree.
"You said it yourself, it’s Mei Lin’s system. Naturally, only Mei Lin can make the decision.
"If you lay out your sincerity and negotiate, perhaps you’ll find a condition that makes Mei Lin yield.
"Try and try again, you might just succeed. Don’t you think so, Uncle Yan?"
Yun Zijin would never admit she could make decisions for Mei Lin, so whether they could succeed or not depended entirely on how hard Yan Shutang and his people were willing to try.
Yan Shutang gave Yun Zijin a deep look. "Will that really work?"
They had offered Mei Lin terms more than once, but not once had she changed her mind.
"How will you know if you don’t try? However, Mei Lin is completely devoted to me. If you’re thinking of having her join your department, you can forget about it."
Yun Zijin offered this little tip, and Yan Shutang could only glance at her, speechless.
’She’s turning down a guaranteed government position just to be a hardworking, uncomplaining assistant for Yun Zijin. I really don’t know what Mei Lin is thinking.’
’Could it be because the salary we’re offering isn’t as high as what Yun Zijin pays her?’
’I don’t know what Mei Lin’s monthly salary is, but seeing that her daily expenses on food and clothing aren’t cheap, I know she must be earning a lot by Yun Zijin’s side.’
’Who was it that said the ultimate career path is public service? Now here’s someone who refuses a government position even when it’s handed to her.’
’I guess you really can’t believe anything you read on the internet.’
"I understand. I’ll go back and discuss it with my people."
Since Mei Lin didn’t want the official position, they would have to find other ways.
Although Yun Zijin had given him a hint or two, the ones who had to actually implement it were Yan Shutang and the others. They had no idea what kind of offer could truly move Mei Lin.
At this point, Yan Shutang knew he couldn’t get any more information out of Yun Zijin, so he announced his departure.
Yun Zijin saw him to the elevator, then returned to her apartment.
Sitting on the sofa, Yun Zijin thought for a moment and decided to send Mei Lin a message. She told her to give Yan Shutang’s team a chance to have her upgrade their security system.
However, Yun Zijin also made it clear that the condition absolutely could not be her joining some department.
Mei Lin quickly replied, telling Yun Zijin that she understood and would seriously consider what terms would be more suitable.
Yan Shutang, who had already left, had no idea that after he was gone, Yun Zijin had personally messaged Mei Lin, telling her to give him a chance to propose new terms.
As for whether Yan Shutang could seize this opportunity, that was out of Yun Zijin’s hands.
After leaving Jade Lake, Yan Shutang didn’t rush to find Mei Lin. Instead, he went home first.
