Jinhai glanced at Jin and then at Zhou Yichen. "Co inside."
"Sure~"
Carefree and relaxed, Zhou Yichen whistled and went in while Jin still couldn't wrap his head around this ss.
As Jinhai sat opposite them, he crisply said without wasting anyone's ti. "Mr. Zhou will be working with you, Jin."
"..."
Jin stared at his father for a long, long ti. It was an accusing gaze filled with bla. The burning question he wanted to ask was - 'And you are okay with it?'
Jinhai didn't even look at his son even once.
Jin robotically turned his head towards the storm that just barged in out of nowhere in the office today. "Why…do you suddenly want to work here?"
"Oh!" Zhou Yichen chuckled. "It has been a long ti since I worked in a company. Many years back when Nuying and I were still married. To be honest, I wanted to be the CEO. It must feel so amazing to be the top Boss!"
The father-son duo twitched.
"But aish, I also understand that becoming a CEO out of nowhere is impossible. Bunch of board people and shareholders to explain to. Boooring. So I agreed to take up any spot. I am flexible with any type of job. I have a wide array of skills you see," he winked. "I thought of experiencing a corporate life for one more ti."
"Why don't you work in Sky? I am pretty sure Bro and your lovely daughter will be more than happy to welco you there," he dryly said.
"What? No! How can I be there? It's exactly because Jun-cute and Ai-chan work there together that I cannot join them. I don't want to interfere with the lovebirds. What if I catch them doing sothing naughty? They will be so embarrassed. They wouldn't want to work where they cannot get openly cuddly with each other~"
"..."
Zhou Yichen grinned at Jinhai. "Thank you Mr. Liu. You are so gracious for going along with my wishes."
It's not , it's Dad.
Even now, he wished to strangle Liu Hai for urging the decision onto him.
"Anyway, back to the topic. Mr. Zhou will be working with Jin."
Jin asked with a vein close to popping on his forehead, "Why ?"
Jinhai looked up at him. "To learn from him. He might look goofy, but he has skills. I have assessed them for myself. I won't keep soone who cannot get the job done."
Zhou Yichen nodded. "Mr. Liu is sharp. No wonder the company flourished so much."
He continued. "There is a new project coming up with the Han Corps where we will be cooperating with each other. You two will handle it."
"I am cool with it," Zhou Yichen said. He looked at Jin. "Don't worry, Jini-boy. We will have a good ti together! It will be fun."
He glared at him.
I don't see that happening!
Jin snorted. "It's fine if I have to just work with Bro Siying. We can manage it."
He laughed. "So stern."
Jinhai said, "It's not Siying you will be working with."
"Then uncle Zhiyuan?"
"Shui."
That made him freeze right on his spot.
"Shui's exams are over and as a part of an internship to learn more about business managent, she will be working in Han Corps for soti. She will still be a junior resource, nevertheless involved in this project where you will work with her."
"No!" Jin banged his palm on the desk. The light in his eyes turned exceedingly hateful and nacing. "I won't work with Shui!"
He blurted out so loudly that a sharp silence fell soon after.
Jinhai blinked twice, staring at Jin carefully. He slowly cocked his brow, noticing the disturbance in Jin's gaze.
Zhou Yichen, too, was taken aback by his resistance. "Hm? What's the problem, Jini-boy? It's Han Shui we are talking about."
Jin stiffened as he felt their strong gazes at him as if scrutinizing his sudden outburst.
"Any problem, Jin?" Jinhai asked in a quiet voice, fixing his unreadable gaze at him.
He said nothing.
He could protest against working with Shui, but he couldn't explain the reason behind his actions. There was seemingly nothing wrong with their relationship on the outside.
The pair of fathers kept gauging his expressions.
It was after soti when Jin looked up at Jinhai and declared. "Sorry, Dad. But I won't work on this project with Shui."

At the film set, Chyou's manager had her own concerns regarding the breaking news spreading everywhere like wildfire.
"Chyou, are you serious about Cheng Yin? You didn't even discuss this with before making it public!" Her manager, Ding Yimu was exasperated.
"I was surprised myself!" Chyou defended herself. "I had no clue that Yin had all this planned."
"Chyou, you don't understand the gravity of this situation here! You are the topmost A-listed actress everybody is seeking for. You are on a good streak with movies. I don't think getting into a relationship at this stage is good for you. I an…" she sighed. "It's fine if you like soone. If you want, you can date too but I had hoped you would have kept it in wraps. What if sothing happens tomorrow and you and Cheng Yin are not together anymore? Can you imagine the hit on your reputation?"
"Don't curse my relationship when it has just started," Chyou protested.
"I am showing you the reality. If you wanted to announce your relationship, you could have done so after soti. Maybe after a few months or years when you are absolutely sure about Cheng Yin and you as a couple. Look, fans are already shipping you two. Sure they will be very happy with this news but if this doesn't work out, it can have negative repercussions too! Ugh, I want to strangle soone! Plus, there were already so rumors floating around about you and Gu Yating. Now suddenly, it's you and Cheng Yin. Do you get ? So may not like how you are linked up with two n."
Chyou released a sigh. "I understand your concerns. Trust , I do. I know you care about my career. But believe . Everything will be fine. I love Cheng Yin and he loves too. I am firm about him and I know nothing will break us apart. I know he is the right person for -"
"He is not!" A furious roar resounded as Jun rushed in.
