When Master Zhi arrived, Qin Yun went to the CEO's office.

Jiang Zhi looked at Qin Yun with sharp eyes and asked, "Was Nangong Jin drunk last night?"

Qin Yun smiled and said, "Yes! Drowning your sorrows in alcohol only makes them worse! You're all back, what a pleasant surprise!"

"Zhou Hui is back too? You saw her last night?"

"Master Zhi guessed it all!"

Jiang Zhi scoffed, "When he saw Changge, Ajin didn't get himself drunk, but when he saw Zhou Hui, his emotions and anger surged up."

"Master Zhi, is there anything we need to do?"

"Don't do anything, let him handle it himself. The one who tied the knot must untie it! Changge is a bit willful, but I still don't think she's someone who doesn't know her limits. Changge herself knows best what happened back then. Let them untie their own knots."

"It's alright, I'll go back to work now."

"Qin Yun, ask Xiao Liu if he wants to come back. If he doesn't want to come back, then let him continue working as Cheng Ling's assistant. Recently, Cheng Ling has become very popular and has a bright future."

Qin Yun grinned mischievously, "Okay, I'll ask him later."

*******

Nangong Jin didn't go to work; she was still sleeping.

His phone rang for a long time.

In a daze, he found his phone and answered a call he absolutely hated.

"Hey...what's up?"

Su Rui frowned, displeased, and said sternly, "I'm your mother, and you're not happy to answer my call, are you? Your father said you didn't go to work this morning, and you drank too much last night. What exactly happened?"

"Mom, I was happy and had a few more drinks, is that a problem? I'm still sleepy and want to sleep. I'll talk to you later, okay?"

"Changge has gone to take her exam, which will last all day. Your Uncle An has already started working at Haicheng No. 1 Hospital and won't get off work until 5:30. I have to go out and take care of something, so I won't be back until quite late. This afternoon, you can pick up your son from school."

"knew."

"Remember to pick up your son, don't forget the time, and don't forget your son."

"How could I forget my son? I promise I'll pick him up. Are you done? I'm hanging up now, I'm really sleepy!"

"Don't go to pick up my grandson reeking of alcohol."

"I know, I'm not stupid, I understand all of this, you don't need to tell me anything."

"Don't make my grandson cry, or I'll beat you up."

"Um!"

“You’re a grown adult now, you should know how to behave properly, don’t make your dad and me worry.”

"Um!"

"Are you listening to me?"

"I heard you."

"Okay, I'm hanging up now."

With no one making noise, Nangong Jin continued to sleep.

...

Nangong Jincai finally woke up around 2 p.m.

After taking a shower, he went out to get something to eat.

Suddenly, he received a call from an unknown number.

After a moment's hesitation, Nangong Jin answered the phone.

Hello! Who is this?

"Jin, is that you?"

It was Zhou Hui's voice!

Nangong paused for a moment, and then instantly became fully awake.

"Oh, it's you. Is there something you need?"

"I tried calling your mobile number, but I didn't expect you hadn't changed it."

"I'm used to it, so I haven't changed it."

"Are you free? I'd like to ask you for a favor."

Without even thinking, Nangong Jin said, "You can tell me when you have time."

“I just returned to Haicheng and am looking for a place to rent. Do you know anyone who has a place to rent? I’d like to find a relatively safe neighborhood and I’ll be mindful of the tenants’ privacy.”

"I'll keep an eye out for you."

"I'm currently staying in a hotel and want to move as soon as possible, preferably today."

"Why are you in such a hurry? Do your family members know you're coming back?"

"I haven't told them yet; I want to tell them after I've settled down. The hotel is too expensive... I'm sorry!"

"Which hotel are you staying at? I'll come pick you up and take you to see some apartments."

"I'm at the Haicheng Grand Hotel! Jin, thank you!"

"You're welcome. See you later."

"good!"

...

Nangong Jin took Zhou Hui to see a house.

The neighborhood is quite quiet, and the property management is good; she is very satisfied.

The apartment layout is quite good, and the interior decoration is very tasteful; she likes it very much.

"Jin, I'll rent this place. Could you ask the landlord how much the rent is per month?"

Nangong Jin handed the key to Zhou Hui, saying, "This is my house, you can stay here for now."

"Jin, isn't this a bit inappropriate?" Zhou Hui said, handing the key back to Nangong Jin.

“Where can you find such a good quality apartment to rent right now? Besides, the rent isn’t cheap, and other landlords will charge you a deposit. This neighborhood is close to the hospital, so I bought it for convenience. But I don’t need it anymore and rarely stay here, so it’s just sitting there. You can stay here for now.”

Nangong Jin then put the key in Zhou Hui's hand.

Suddenly, he noticed that Zhou Hui's hands were bruised and swollen.

Out of professional instinct, Nangong Jin grasped Zhou Hui's hand and examined the bruises on it.

"How did you do that?"

"No...it's nothing! I just bumped into something by accident!"

Zhou Hui looked at Nangong Jin, a hint of fear flashing in her eyes.

Nangong Jin released Zhou Hui's hand, his sharp eyes fixed on her.

Instantly, Nangong Jin also frowned.

I wonder how Zhou Hui has been doing all these years?

Is she alright?

Despite thinking this way, Nangong Jin did not ask abruptly.

She was in a hurry to find a place to rent and didn't dare stay in a hotel, so she probably didn't have much money left.

She's probably not very good.

If Changge hadn't made such a scene, they would have gotten married long ago, and she wouldn't be living such a miserable life.
