Lin Tingyue knew that her sister-in-law wanted to find Jiang Zhiming to find out the truth. She was a little nervous. While nodding to Zhang Shanshan, she quickly took out her phone and pretended to play with WeChat. She sent a private message to Jiang Zhiming: "My sister-in-law wants to see you. When she asks you about anything related to Ye Wenyu, you have to answer yes! Do you understand?"

When Jiang Zhiming received this WeChat message, he was completely baffled. He wondered what Lin Tingyue was up to now. A big question mark popped into his mind. He hadn't seen Ye Wenyu for several months. She was interning at Lin's Group and would definitely be working there after graduation. As for Wenyu, she should still be working and studying at school, going through her junior year. He wondered if she planned to work after graduation or continue her studies for a master's degree.

Jiang Zhiming fell into deep thought. He realized that although reality was like a thick, cold wall, love, like a resilient weed, would break through the wall.

He still loves Ye Wenyu.

Jiang Zhiming looked lost and wistful, caught in the pain of unrequited love.

Pain is silent, yet it is like a calm sea, boundless and limitless.

Zhang Shanshan parked her bright red Maserati in the underground parking garage of the Lin Group and then took the elevator up.

Jiang Zhiming is interning in the marketing department on the third floor. Although it's good to have a powerful backer, Lin Tingyue told him that her older brother, in order to gain the respect of others, couldn't let him intern in a good department right now. He had to start from the bottom. So, for the past few months, he has been running around the market.

Jiang Zhiming believed it to be true. He didn't know that in the Lin family, Lin Tingyue had virtually no power. He was a poor child who had grown up suffering, so he worked like a slave in the marketing department every day, never complaining and even enjoying it.

They even have high hopes for the future.

Lin Tingyue naturally understood that if it weren't for her status as the eldest daughter of the Lin family, she wouldn't be a good match for Jiang Zhiming given her educational background. Therefore, seeing Jiang Zhiming doing an internship at the bottom of the Lin Group always filled her with shame and anxiety.

Every time she looked into his completely trusting eyes, she felt very sad and guilty, as if she had deceived him. In fact, as the eldest daughter of the Lin family, she had neither power nor wealth except for her status. This was why she was so eager to seize power from her elder brother.

Jiang Zhiming has a good attitude. He is meticulous, responsible, thoughtful, and efficient in his work in the marketing department. When Lin Tingfeng listens to the marketing department's reports, the head of the marketing department will praise Jiang Zhiming a few times. Lin Tingfeng also thinks that although Lin Tingyue is not very good, she has good taste in choosing a boyfriend. This time, her boyfriend Jiang Zhiming is a promising talent.

However, every time Lin Tingyue went to the third floor to find her boyfriend, she felt a surge of anger. She felt as if her body had become a pressure cooker, ready to explode at any moment. She was determined to take revenge and reclaim everything that was rightfully hers! If things didn't change, she and her boyfriend would remain at the very bottom of the Lin Group, with no hope of ever rising above their circumstances!

It's important to know that Lin Tingfeng's president's office is on the 56th floor, the top floor of the Lin Group building, and the secretariat is also on the 56th floor. Only the lowest-ranking employees live on the ground floor; for example, the employees in charge of express delivery for the group live in the basement.

When Lin Tingyue brought her sister-in-law Zhang Shanshan in, Jiang Zhiming was already there to greet them, wearing a white shirt and black trousers with a striped belt. He looked like an insurance salesman. Fortunately, Jiang Zhiming was tall, handsome, and had a good appearance, so he looked dashing.

Zhang Shanshan walked into the marketing department and frowned because of the dim lighting on the floor. As Lin Tingfeng's wife, she rarely came to floors other than the top floor. She would occasionally go to the 55th or 54th floor, but she had never been to these three floors.

She glanced at Lin Tingyue and saw that her small face was flushed, her cheeks were puffed out, and her big eyes were filled with shame and anger, like an angry frog. She couldn't help but find it funny and asked her, "Is your boyfriend interning on this floor?"

Upon hearing these words, Lin Tingyue felt all the blood rush to her face, as if a knife had been plunged into her heart. The pain was indescribable, and her hatred for Lin Tingfeng intensified.

When Zhiming mentioned wanting to intern at the Lin Group, she went to see her older brother specifically to discuss the internship. At that time, she thought her brother was quite kind to her, just a little aloof. She brought gifts to her brother, introduced Zhiming to him, and mentioned Jiang Zhiming's internship aspirations. Unexpectedly, Lin Tingfeng looked at Jiang Zhiming, nodded, and said to him, "Then go to the marketing department; that's where you'll get the most experience."

Lin Tingyue was quite surprised at the time, because college students with no connection to her were also interning in the marketing department at Lin's Group. And Jiang Zhiming, her boyfriend, was also in the marketing department?! In other words, Lin Tingfeng hadn't given Jiang Zhiming any special treatment just because he was her boyfriend.

Lin Tingyue said to Lin Tingfeng, "Brother, could you let him join your secretariat? That's where he can learn the most and develop his skills the most. Or you could let him join the foreign trade department; Zhiming's English is very good."

Lin Tingfeng's face darkened, and he said coldly, "Go to the marketing department. If you don't want to go, then you don't need to do an internship." His tone was firm and left no room for negotiation.

Lin Tingyue felt as if she had been struck by lightning. Her face turned cold, and her eyes turned red with anger.

The air in the office seemed to freeze.

Jiang Zhiming stepped in to smooth things over: "I'll go to the marketing department. Big Brother is right." He was already satisfied with being able to intern at Lin's Group. As for which department he would go to, he didn't care since he didn't know anything about it.

Lin Tingfeng nodded approvingly at Jiang Zhiming.

Lin Tingyue was very angry about this.

Later, her mother returned to China and told her everything that had happened before. She then fully understood everything that had happened since she was a child, and naturally stood firmly on her mother's side, determined to take back everything that originally belonged to her!

That's why she ran up to Zhang Shanshan today and told her that Lin Tingfeng had a college student as a mistress.

At this moment, Jiang Zhiming approached, and Lin Tingyue had no choice but to pull her thoughts back from their wanderings. She smiled and introduced him to Zhang Shanshan: "Sister-in-law, this is my boyfriend, Jiang Zhiming. Jiang as in Jiang Ziya, and Zhiming as in 'Zhiming and Chun Jiao.' He's a very good person and loves me very much." The last sentence seemed a bit ambiguous; in truth, Lin Tingyue wasn't sure if Jiang Zhiming truly loved her, after all, she had been the one who pursued him back then.

Lin Tingyue truly loves Jiang Zhiming. She had many boyfriends before, but she had never loved anyone like she loved Jiang Zhiming.

She loved him more than her own life, and wished she could give him the best of everything in the world.
