(three hundred and ninety-nine)

Ye Wenyu was stunned for a moment, her mind flashing back to the scene of having dinner at the Cai family's house last time. Uncle Cai wanted her to be his daughter-in-law, so he had shown her his family's financial strength, such as buying his son a wedding house in S City and being able to afford a luxury car worth hundreds of thousands of yuan for the wedding. Her mother had also repeatedly mentioned that their family was now in S City because "it's good to have a powerful backer," so they had some connections and networks.

Lin Tingfeng and the Lin Group are a large and flourishing tree.

However, she hadn't reunited with Uncle Cai and Aunt Cai when she found this translation job, so it couldn't have been them who helped her find it.

Besides, based on her understanding of the two elderly people, they had no idea how difficult her life was!

So, excluding those we know, who else could it be?

Ye Wenyu, like Sherlock Holmes, racked her brains. Using the process of elimination, there was only one person left who might be able to help her: Jiang Zhiming!

Why should she owe him a favor? If it really was him who helped her, then she should refuse immediately. Therefore, Ye Wenyu sent Jiang Zhiming a WeChat message, asking him, "Zhiming, did you help me find a job?" She was also suspicious when she sent the message.

Jiang Zhiming is now Lin Tingyue's boyfriend. They have some connections and he has some ability. However, the young lady from the foreign trade company said that it was the boss's boss who made the call. This big boss is very powerful and unapproachable. The small boss of the foreign trade company would never be able to curry favor with him normally.

Therefore, by analogy, it cannot be Jiang Zhiming.

Sure enough, Jiang Zhiming replied to his private message quickly: "I didn't help you find a job. Do you need a job right now? I'll try to think of a way."

"No need." Ye Wenyu immediately refused him, but then felt a little regretful. She thought to herself that when they were in the hospital, Jiang Zhiming only had Lin Tingyue in his eyes and heart. He was very afraid of losing Lin Tingyue, or more precisely, he was afraid of losing the wealthy life that Lin Tingyue brought him. So he acted like he loved Lin Tingyue very much in the hospital.

At this critical juncture, how could he possibly still be thinking about her and helping her find a job?

Men are realistic too. Many men say women are materialistic when it comes to dating, but the truth is, aren't men just as materialistic? After all, whether it's marrying or being married off, finding a wealthy partner can save you many years of hard work.

Thinking of Jiang Zhiming, Ye Wenyu felt a chill. Men's love, well, or rather, all love in the world, is just a matter of price. Before, Jiang Zhiming always said he loved her, but love couldn't withstand reality. Faced with a real choice, he wisely chose Lin Tingyue. Even later, in the hospital, he could have chosen again, but between her and Lin Tingyue, he still decisively and without hesitation chose Lin Tingyue.

Poverty is a thick, cold wall; after hitting it and getting hurt, one will naturally make wise choices.

Does he love Lin Tingyue? Not necessarily. He just loves an easy, happy, comfortable, and wealthy life. With Lin Tingyue, he can avoid fifty years of hard work.

Did he love Ye Wenyu? Not necessarily. Love without financial security is just a fleeting infatuation. All budding love will only "begin with affection but end with propriety," eventually leading to them forgetting each other in the vast world.

With this in mind, she even looked down on Jiang Zhiming.

Jiang Zhiming is in a hurry to distance himself from Ye Wenyu in order to keep the rich and beautiful Lin Tingyue by his side, so why would he help her find a job? Because with his abilities, if he wanted to find her a high-paying job, he would have to go through Lin Tingyue, and Lin Tingyue hates him so much now, so naturally she won't help her.

So it definitely isn't Jiang Zhiming.

He wouldn't risk offending Lin Tingyue by helping her, only to make a fool of himself.

That leaves only one person: Lin Tingfeng!

Thinking of this, Ye Wenyu suddenly sat up halfway in bed. In the dead of night, the dormitory was pitch black with the lights off. She opened her eyes, which shone like jewels, and pondered deeply.

If Lin Tingfeng helped her, then she owes him a huge favor. The relationship between them is truly a tangled mess, one that can never be untangled!

In addition, I got the job at the bookstore inexplicably, and it was very easy. So, when I go to work at the bookstore tomorrow, I'll ask the owner why she called me and offered me such a good job.

Because she had something on her mind, Ye Wenyu got up very early the next morning, just as dawn was breaking. She planned to go to the bookstore to find out what was going on. While putting on makeup in front of the mirror, she realized that because she hadn't slept all night, her face was pale and she looked like a ghost, with huge dark circles under her eyes, like a panda. But she didn't care, quickly tidied herself up, and headed straight to the bookstore.

Unexpectedly, when Ye Wenyu arrived at the bookstore, it was not yet open. She could only stand outside and wait. She waited until nine o'clock in the morning before the owner finally arrived. Ye Wenyu went to greet him.

The boss was a middle-aged man, fair-skinned and plump, wearing glasses, with a refined and amiable appearance.

The boss was quite surprised to see her. As he took out his key to open the door, he asked her, "Wenyu, aren't you supposed to start work after 2 PM?"

Ye Wenyu hurriedly asked the boss, "Do you know Lin Tingfeng?" Her heart was pounding in her throat. She thought to herself, "It must be him, it must be him!"

The boss paused for a moment, then slowly said, "Yes, I know him."

It really was him!

But the boss then smiled, shook his head playfully, and said, "I know him, but he doesn't know me. He's the most famous president in S City. Who doesn't know him? I often see his interviews in the media and magazines. By the way, our bookstore also has several biographies about him. And you know what? He's really handsome, much more attractive than those male celebrities."

Ye Wenyu was stunned. Was the boss joking?

Wasn't the bookstore job something Lin Tingfeng helped her find? She breathed a sigh of relief, but she was still somewhat skeptical.

At this moment, the owner opened the bookstore door and went inside. Ye Wenyu followed behind him. Because of running a bookstore, the owner had a refined and scholarly air about him. Ye Wenyu followed behind him like a little tail.

Sunlight streamed through the floor-to-ceiling windows, casting a warm glow on the rows of bookshelves. She loved her job, and the thought of leaving the bookstore one day filled her with a sharp, piercing sadness.

She mustered her courage and asked again, "Boss, you really don't know Lin Tingfeng?"

The shopkeeper smiled, walked to the bookshelf, and found more than a dozen biographies of Lin Tingfeng. He pointed to the photo of Lin Tingfeng on the cover and said to Ye Wenyu with a smile, "Don't you know him? Do you? Such a handsome man, introduce him to me!"
