Jiang Lina was a little nervous: "My second aunt and uncle both work at the Railway Bureau. I’ve seen you from afar before. I heard people say you’re always single, so I asked my second aunt to find someone to reach out to you.
A few days ago, my second aunt said you rejected me, told me not to have futile hopes. I couldn’t let it go, so I wanted to come and ask you myself."
After saying this, she looked up at Han Jingchen: "Director Han, I’m twenty-six this year, unmarried, and I don’t think I’m that bad-looking. Are you really not interested in me?"
Thinking of something, she added: "I know what you said to the matchmaker that day, it must have been an excuse to brush her off."
Han Jingchen couldn’t listen any longer, his brows furrowing into a knot: "Miss, I don’t have a habit of lying, nor do I indulge in brushing people off. What I said is indeed the truth.
I have other matters to attend to, please take care of yourself."
After speaking, he looked towards Su Jingsong, who was not far from him: "Inform the lower staff that from now on, no irrelevant personnel are allowed to enter the office building. Draft a regulation for this."
Having said that, without sparing Jiang Lina another glance, he walked away.
Jiang Lina was dumbfounded, she was being rejected.
Then she heard Su Jingsong: "Miss, please leave at once."
Jiang Lina’s face alternated between blue and white, looking extremely awkward.
To think, if Jiang Lina wasn’t aiming to find someone with a better status, position, and appearance than her previous partner, she wouldn’t be stuck in this situation now. An old man on his second marriage, she refused to believe she couldn’t win him over.
In her heart, she made up her mind to confront the Director Han in the future.
Xinyan came in just in time to meet Jiang Lina being escorted out of the office building by Su Jingsong.
Seeing Xinyan carrying something and heading into the building, Jiang Lina let out a cold ’hmpf,’ thinking she clearly wasn’t part of the staff. With malicious intent, she stopped a short distance away, wanting to see Xinyan being turned out by the security guard.
But she didn’t know what Xinyan said to him, as the security guard actually pointed her in the right direction. This made Jiang Lina’s face even greener with anger. She spat in the direction of the guard before turning away with a grim expression.
For years, she finally found someone to her liking, and she couldn’t possibly give up like this.
She believed that where there was a will, there was a way.
Xinyan, carrying her things into the office building, turned to look at the place where Jiang Lina had been standing, feeling she had sensed a malicious gaze from there.
But seeing the person leave, she didn’t think much of it.
Guided by the security uncle, Xinyan found herself outside Han Jingchen’s office.
Standing at the door, she knocked lightly on the office door, hearing a magnetic voice from inside: "Come in."
Xinyan pushed the door open, sticking her head in first and seeing Han Jingchen engrossed in his documents: "Meow."
Han Jingchen heard the sound, looked up towards the door.
When he saw it was his precious daughter, his eyes filled with joy: "Yanyan, it’s not the weekend, how come you have time to visit?"
Only then did Xinyan push the door open and entered the office: "Of course, I’m here to surprise you while doing a spot check on whether you’re working diligently."
Han Jingchen then burst into laughter: "You really surprised Dad, come sit down, I’ll pour you a cup of warm water to warm up."
Walking to the kettle, he went back to his desk, pulled open a drawer, and took out a cup: "This cup has been prepared for a long time, just waiting for you to come."
Seeing the cup her dad brought out, Xinyan felt an indescribable emotion well up, a warm current flowed through her heart.
