"Wow, what’s with the ’wow’?"
Zhou Zhao glared at the caregiver.
The caregiver got the hint, nodded, and said, "Please."
After speaking, she placed down the freshly poured water and even left a pack of tissues to signal to Zhou Zhao.
Zhou Zhao, curious, picked it up and found it contained contraceptives.
His eyes widened, "This country is really crazy."
As he spoke, he stuffed the item into his pocket.
Chen Jin: "..."
Zhou Zhao turned around, opened the wardrobe, and took out a change of clothes for Chen Jin.
He stopped teasing Chen Jin and quickly helped him change.
Zhou Zhao looked at Chen Jin’s injured arm, still stained with blood on the bandage.
"We really are brothers in hardship."
"Zhou Zhao, get to the point," Chen Jin saw through Zhou Zhao’s roundabout way.
Zhou Zhao poured him a glass of water, "I have to head back."
Chen Jin paused, "Hmm. You still have to co to Li Huan’s wedding."
Zhou Zhao gave him a light punch.
"What a mood, this farewell lancholy, can’t you speak properly?"
"There’s always a next ti."
"..."
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
Chen Jin looked towards the door, "Please co in."
Lin Zhiyi and Chu Yin actually ca.
Zhou Zhao asked suspiciously, "Weren’t you sleeping?"
Chu Yin smiled and said, "The hospital sll is too unpleasant, I couldn’t sleep well, just had a short nap and woke up. I happened to see Zhiyi, and Zhiyi said to co see Chen Jin. Why are you here?"
Zhou Zhao said, "Here to show so concern on behalf of the Young Master."
Chu Yin let out an "oh" with a drawn-out tone, making it sound mysterious.
As Lin Zhiyi was about to sit down, she noticed the chair by the bed was wet.
"Why is there so much water?"
"I’ve got tissues here."
Zhou Zhao instinctively pulled out the tissues he had just put in his pocket.
By the ti Chen Jin realized what was happening and wanted to stop it, it was already too late.
Zhou Zhao had just opened the tissues and a small gold-wrapped item fell out.
It landed right at the feet of Lin Zhiyi and Chu Yin.
The two of them felt their scalps tingle and instinctively looked up at the two n opposite them.
Lin Zhiyi said, "Did we co at a bad ti?"
Chu Yin joked, "You do know how to seize the mont."
Zhou Zhao, usually so eloquent, was at a loss for words for the first ti.
"No, this was given to by soone else..."
Chu Yin imdiately teased, "Assistant Chen, you hear that? He said there’s soone else."
Chen Jin pursed his lips, "Who’s the soone else?"
Zhou Zhao countered with two punches.
"Who? Who who who! Is this fun? Isn’t it because of you..."
Chen Jin, with one hand injured, could only let Zhou Zhao give him two punches, "You’re gonna beat until I spit blood."
Lin Zhiyi covered her mouth, thinking no one would have guessed the two stern assistants outside would be so funny in private.
Chu Yin pointed to the bag Zhou Zhao brought in.
"Is it sothing to eat? The hospital food is just awful, let’s sit and have so."
Lin Zhiyi chid in, "Assistant Chen, you should sit down and eat too, it’s been a tough ti for you."
Chen Jin and Zhou Zhao finally sat down.
After a few bites, Lin Zhiyi looked at Chen Jin.
"Assistant Chen, I actually ca with a purpose this ti."
Chen Jin wasn’t surprised and nodded, "Did Third Young Master instruct sothing?"
Lin Zhiyi probed, "There’s no longer a Third Young Master. What he worries about most is you. You’ve been with him for so many years, but you know how he is, he’s not much for explanations. He feels the current situation is his choice, and there’s no need to drag you into hiding with him. Your talents are obvious, and you can achieve great things anywhere."
Although with Gong Chen’s abilities, retaining Chen Jin as an assistant wasn’t a problem.
But would Chen Jin be willing?
The position of Third Young Master’s assistant already held significant weight outside.
Whoever it was would show so respect upon seeing Chen Jin.
But now with no Third Young Master, would Chen Jin go into hiding too?
Chen Jin didn’t speak, quietly taking a sip of water.
Chu Yin, munching on her fork, stared at Zhou Zhao eating.
Zhou Zhao remained unresponsive.
Chu Yin nudged him under the table, "Assistant Zhou, what do you think?"
She hinted that Zhou Zhao could introduce Chen Jin to Hai City.
In Zhou Zhao’s territory, Chen Jin was sure to find a decent job.
Zhou Zhao lifted his gaze, looked at Chen Jin, and said directly, "Chen Jin has his career plans, we can give advice, but we shouldn’t persuade him for our own sake."
Zhou Zhao patted Chen Jin’s shoulder, "Brother Chen, I trust you."
Chen Jin smiled.
Suddenly, he shifted his gaze to Lin Zhiyi.
Lin Zhiyi’s heart skipped at his gaze.
"Assistant Chen, why are you looking at ?"
"The lady boss is also a boss, right?" Chen Jin spoke.
"Huh?"
"I saw the job posting from your studio, you’re looking for a special assistant," Chen Jin inquired.
"You... you even know about that?"
Lin Zhiyi had an assistant, knowledgeable in jewelry, but lacking in business acun.
So, she planned to hire a special assistant.
Chen Jin continued, "Your current strategic thinking is close to Third Young Master’s. I understand him best and can assist you well."
Zhou Zhao clapped, "I told you Brother Chen has his career plans, we were worried for nothing."
If Chen Jin beca her assistant, Lin Zhiyi would be delighted.
But...
"Assistant Chen, I can’t afford you," Lin Zhiyi spoke awkwardly.
"That’s true, it’s my oversight," Chen Jin replied.
Lin Zhiyi: "..."
Chen Jin smiled, "The salary can be negotiated, and once we’re higher up, I can get a raise."
Lin Zhiyi’s eyes lit up, "Definitely, definitely, I’ll quickly get the contract ready."
"Sure."
And so, Chen Jin’s matter was settled.
However, Zhou Zhao’s reaction was still quite unexpected to Lin Zhiyi and Chu Yin.
During this ti, the doctor ca to check on Chen Jin’s wound.
Chu Yin asked curiously in a low voice, "Assistant Zhou, you were eager for Assistant Chen to go to Hai City, why didn’t you speak just now?"
Zhou Zhao smiled, "Am I the type to cut off soone’s future?"
Lin Zhiyi imdiately raised her hand modestly, "Borrowing your auspicious words, I’ll definitely give Assistant Chen lots of vacation."
"What are you discussing with ?" Zhou Zhao took a bite of chips.
"We’re all friends here, it’s okay to tell you, right?" Lin Zhiyi laughed.
Zhou Zhao mumbled, "You talk like I’m the one paying his salary."
Lin Zhiyi and Chu Yin exchanged a smile.
anwhile, back in the country, everyone was in an uproar over Gong Chen’s sudden death.
The few of them were particularly at ease.
After a checkup at the hospital to make sure everything was fine, they were all discharged together.
Back at the hotel, Sarah called to say she’d throw them a farewell party.
eting them was serendipity, and everyone happily accepted.
The restaurant was in a bustling area, with romantic lighting and exquisite food.
Completely different from the chaos of the past few days.
Chu Yin joked, "I’m dressed so beautifully today, I don’t have to draw my gun, right?"
