The holiday ended, and the workers returned to their respective workplaces to continue being beasts of burden in the new century.

Lin Xun and Su Qingshi had just started work when they had to go on a business trip to discuss cooperation.

The meeting was with the CEO of the Aris Group, and the Lin family will be collaborating with them on energy development projects.

Atai was driving, and Lin Xun and Su Qingshi were sitting in the back.

"This is the first time I've discussed a collaboration as the CEO."

Lin Xun sighed, feeling uncertain.

Su Qingshi comforted her, saying, "Everyone goes through the initial trials, and the chairman has already finalized the cooperation between the two parties. We are just here to refine it."

Lin Xun nodded: "I hope everything goes well."

Half an hour later, the car arrived at a Western restaurant.

There were already waiters waiting at the door, and several of them were foreigners.

As soon as Lin Xun and Su Qingshi got out of the car, the other party came over.

One of the blond, blue-eyed foreigners spoke fluent Chinese: "Welcome, Mr. Lin and Ms. Su. I am Houston, the vice president of the Aris Group."

After shaking hands with Lin Xun, he looked at Su Qingshi and said, "This beautiful lady must be Miss Su."

After saying that, he stretched out his hand.

Lin Xun frowned slightly, stepped forward, stood in front of Su Qingshi, and grasped Houston's hand: "Mr. Houston, let's talk business first."

No matter what the other party's purpose is, you must not touch his wife.

He's a very stingy person.

Houston smiled, withdrew his hand, and gestured for him to come in: "Please come in."

The group entered the restaurant and went to a private room.

After everyone was seated, Houston took out a contract and handed it to Lin Xun. "The kitchen is already preparing lunch. Before we eat, let's talk about this cooperation. This is the contract we have drafted. Mr. Lin, you can take a look. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask."

Lin Xun took the contract and began to read it carefully.

Next to Houston was a young man in a suit with slicked-back hair, looking every bit the gentleman; he was probably Houston's translator.

However, the latter's Chinese is quite good, so we haven't used him yet.

His gaze inadvertently swept across Su Qingshi's face, and a look of amazement appeared in his eyes.

What a beautiful woman!

Rumor has it that there are many outstanding female white-collar workers in the Lin family, and now that I see it, it's definitely true!

With looks like that, she already surpasses most celebrities.

Rumor has it that this is the fiancée of the young master of the Lin family.

Su Qingshi frowned, her gaze falling on the other person like icy water beneath a glacier.

The latter's heart skipped a beat, and he looked away.

After a long pause, Lin Xun nodded slightly: "Okay."

Houston smiled upon hearing this: "Then it's a pleasure to work together."

After signing their names, the two shook hands.

The food was served.

Houston praised, "Mr. Lin is very accomplished at such a young age."

This time, instead of speaking broken Chinese, he spoke English.

The young man beside him was also translating.

Even if he didn't translate, Lin Xun and Su Qingshi would understand.

Lin Xun humbly replied, "I dare not accept such praise. Compared to you, senior, I still have many shortcomings."

Houston suddenly raised his hand to Su Qingshi beside him and smiled, "I heard that this Miss Su is in a relationship with Mr. Lin?"

The translator, with a strange expression, translated.

Lin Xun smiled and was about to speak when he was suddenly interrupted by Su Qingshi.

The girl spoke in a cool voice, "Mr. Hugh is right, he is my fiancé."

The translator's face was visibly somber.

Lin Xun narrowed his eyes and glanced at the other person again, his expression meaningful.

Another rival in love.

My senior's charm is truly irresistible; she has suitors wherever she goes.

"Wow, that's amazing! Mr. Lin is so handsome, and Miss Su is stunningly beautiful. You two look very well-matched." Houston's eyes lit up as he praised with a smile.

translate:……

this……

Isn't this like stabbing him in the heart?

He said he didn't want to translate.

However, for the sake of his job, he had no choice but to convey Houston's message.

"Thank you for the compliment."

Lin Xun couldn't hide the smile on his face.

Well said!

Let me say a few more words.

He loves to listen.

The dinner ended in a harmonious atmosphere.

After leaving the restaurant, Lin Xun saw the other person off before taking Su Qingshi's hand and walking towards the door.

"A feeling of complete relaxation."

Lin Xun let out a long breath, feeling that even the air was sweet.

Seeing his relaxed demeanor, Su Qingshi felt a pang of heartache in her eyes.

While everyone else envied his status as the richest young master, only she knew the hardships he endured.

This young man is constantly growing, and it is because he puts pressure on himself that he has become so mature.

Lin Xun tilted his head to look at her, and asked with a smile, "Going back to the company? Or is there something else planned?"

Su Qingshi said softly, "Let's go back to the company. There are still many things to do."

"Too."

After getting into the car, the two returned to the company.

Time passed by in ordinary days, and before we knew it, it was the end of October.

For the past two weeks, Lin Xun has been going for a morning run every day, and his physical condition has gradually improved.

He was restraining himself from the abstinence the doctor had advised.

Yeah, once a week, I guess.

Su Qingshi also accompanied Lin Xun in preparing for pregnancy.

As a woman, her health is also very important, but she makes time to exercise every day.

At the end of the month, the company held a celebration banquet.

During this period, the company has completed several orders worth hundreds of millions of yuan, which is a pretty good achievement since Lin Xun took over the company.

Taking advantage of the off-season, Lin Xun also held this celebration banquet.

All company employees participated, and those who were unable to attend received a corresponding subsidy from the company.

This can be said to be true.

As long as those in power have a conscience, those below will work hard to do their jobs for you.

Early November.

Lin Xun, dressed in a suit, walked out of the company gate. He was expressionless, but his eyes were sharper than before.

The passing employees nodded and greeted them.

"Hello, Mr. Lin."

Lin Xun nodded slightly.

Now, he already bears some resemblance to Lin Batian.

Su Qingshi took her team on a visit today, so she couldn't go to and from get off work with him.

Without Su Qingshi by his side, Lin Xun truly embodied the phrase "looking down on everyone".

He was completely overwhelmed when he stepped out of the company and saw what was in front of him.

"My son! Your father has come to see you!"

Not far away, Lin Batian, dressed in casual clothes, looked at him with a big smile.

After not seeing him for several months, Lin Batian had gained a lot of weight and become much more easygoing.

Lin Xun stared at him wide-eyed: "Old Lin? When did you get back?"

Lin Batian chuckled and said, "I just got back, so I came to see you."

He looked at Lin Xun with satisfaction and admiration in his eyes.

This kid looks a bit like him.
