Chapter 3: A Thousand Miles of Caring and Hope 1/2

When Lin Qian heard the  human resources manager’s “leadership advice”, it turned out to be quite unexpected.

And apart from being unexpected, it was also quite moving. Because the other person spoke very sincerely and very beautifully: “Miss Lin, we at Ai Da would like to offer you this job right away. However, on account of the situation at hand, this might be improbable. If you decide to leave this position for another one* your salary grade will not change. For the post you were originally offered, we would have to wait out and see who the new CEO will be, and work according to his requirements. If you decide to leave the company, we sincerely wish for you to find your ideal job.”

As soon as the HR manager left, Lin Qian used her mobile to Baidu search news about Ai Da Corporation, and therefore honestly answered “Thank you, I will have to go back and consider the matter for some time. I will give you a formal answer tomorrow.”

She got out of Ai Da early, it wasn’t even 12 o’clock. Lin Qian slowly walking home, first stopping at a small restaurant, ordered two fried two dishes, eating quickly. Then she went back home up to her flat and opened the windows, turned on some music, and then walked to the balcony to call Lin Mo Chen.



It was evening in the United States. Lin Mo Chen answered with his deep voice, seemingly very Manhattan-esque: lazy and condescending: “You called… much later than I thought.”

Lin Qian was frustrated “Of course you already know.”

Ai Da’s status is known all over the world. Her Wall Street based financial investor of a big brother, how would he not know?

Lin Mo Chen wore an iron-gray hand-tailored suit, and stood in front of the window on the top floor of a skysc.r.a.per, and was worked hard to research investment in data a.n.a.lysis and investment reports.

Through the window the city lights shone like stars, the Hudson river meandering through, shaded by skysc.r.a.pers on each side, the scene slowly dripping into the distance.

He gave a loud chuckle, and asked: “What are you going to do?”

Lin Qian’s tone was more stuffy: “Anyway, I am not going to work for you.”

Lin Mo Chen’s brow slightly wrinkled, but his tone but still light, asked: “Oh, really? So where are you going to find a job?”

Lin Qian replied: “I’m thinking of staying at Ai Da.”

In all fairness, though Ai Da now in trouble, but even a skinny camel cannot be underestimated, their power to fight back is unknown. And today’s sincere att.i.tude made her feel good about the company.

“I feel so abandoned, very unfortunately.” She said.

Lin Mo Chen looked at the top of the building on the opposite side of the city light stars, fingers gently tapping on the side of the desktop.

“Lin Qian.” He began,”feeling are the most useless things. You are my sister, I expect and allow more rational objective thinking. ”

Tone is a little cold, and a little arrogant, his idea of training her.

But Lin Qian took the bait, crawling up the pole, she softly replied, “Good. Then you give me an objective a.n.a.lysis, is it worthwhile to stay? ”

Lin Mo Chen silence moment, Lin Qian’s heart lifted up slightly.

“You can try it.” He was not slow to answer.

Lin shallow suddenly smiled. Do not ask him a deeper reason, because he who yields the net a.s.set value ah ah…. He would use c.u.mbersome professional terms, and she’d get a headache listening.

“Thank you, Ge! ”

The boss, Lin Mo Chen’s, lip’s corner also rose slightly, and said dismissively: “Ai Da’s Chairman Xu Yong is old and feeble, stopped taking care of day-to-day operations. Eldest son Xu Yiyang died car accident three years ago, and it was impossible to please Xu Yong with people from outside. Therefore, people who are most likely to take over, could be three: first, Gu Yan Zhi, second, his illegitimate son Xu Chengyan, who is now in the United States studying; third, Xu Yong and his wife have a son, who’s unidentified. I will look it up again. ”

After she hung up the phone, Lin Qian burying its head in her arms, looking away in a daze.

After a while, her scene caught her attention.

It was a big green army truck driving along the highway, through the city, stopping at the gate of Ai Da Corporation.

Several soldiers dressed in camouflage fatigues jumped down, carrying backpacks. The trucks pulled away, they stood in the doorway for a moment, someone came out, and brought them in.

Is it a veteran?

Well that batch of veterans, were the only good thing she had encountered these past few days.

Now, were they working at Ai Da?

She also decided to stay.

The next morning, Lin Qian’s entry formalities were done, and she was brought in to see the legendary Gu Yan.

Groups everywhere are filled with a kind of unspoken, dejected air, so when Lin Qian came into the s.p.a.cious office where luxury reigned, she felt refreshed.

Gu Yan Zhi, who sat behind a dark and brightly lacquered desk like a big boss, also eyed the new employee.

As an aide, Li Zhi Cheng, does not need to personally come and see the new employee. The guy had gone to the nursing home last night to see his father, these things unimportant matters he can put aside. Moreover, the cherished boss’ single powerful command had been to “not make himself public”.

Thus the nature of his arrival and his ident.i.ty were both not public.

Gu Yan Zhi asked: “Why?” He’d taken over the group, and sooner or later he would meet with all staff, whether it was publicly what’d be the difference?

“I need to understand the situation.” Li Zhi Cheng stood at the window, and with back turned and distant eyes replied, “In a covert manner.”

Gu Yan took a moment to follow.

He spoke so enigmatically, indeed…

Nevertheless, treating this matter like going to war, seeming to want to do a recon mission early on by yourself ah…

Thinking back about this, Gu Yan Zhi couldn’t help laughing, and looking across to Lin Qian, said: “Presumably you are clear on the Corporation’s current circ.u.mstances. It is exceedingly difficult to employ. During your working period, if you have the natural talent, you can gain an important position. However, if the individual is mediocre, we do not find it necessary for them to stay behind and increase our burden. Everything regarding yourself you have to take care of.”

This was common sense economically, so Lin Qian was also very calm and nodded: “I will work hard.” Looking at the smile on his face, she thought, ‘ it looks like it won’t be as difficult to get along with him as the rumours of him being cunning warned’.

Gu Yan Zhi had nothing more to talk to her about, so after the short conversation, it was decided on the spot: she’d go to the President’s office alone, and take up the daily affairs of the department.

Doesn’t everyone want a perfect brother like Lin Mo Chen? Very much a shuai ge~ If you noticed, I’ve left in Ge as is, due to two reasons: (a) Writing down big brother every time seems stilted and interrupts the flow, and (b) why write 10 letters when you can write 2?

On an unrelated (?) note, I am so stressed… there’re too many projects, too many paper, too many responsibilities… I just want to bury my head in my blanket and sleep forever…. In fact, my old habit of putting mehendi on when stressed has returned… Last night I ended up doing this:

…Yay for bad decisions~
