Reunion in the virtual world

Ye Lin had just left for a while, and when she came back, Li Yao was already waiting by Ye Lin's workstation.

Ye Lin smiled slightly, already knowing what Li Yao was thinking.

Ye Lin sat down. Li Yao clutched the hem of his pants with both hands and mustered up his courage. "I've made up my mind. I want to stay at DJ. I'll write the bid."

It's hard to judge. With a timid and self-deprecating personality like Li Yao, she will always hesitate and be unable to make a choice unless pushed.

"Okay, take a good look at the bidding materials and give me the first draft of the bidding document in three days.

Since Ji Jinyan had asked, Li Ming reported to Ji Jinyan the truth about Ye Lin's gaming. Ji Jinyan opened "Yiyou Jianghu" and saw the world buzzing about the return of the former national server number one. Ji Jinyan looked at the top of his friend list, but his avatar didn't light up, indicating he wasn't online.

Ji Jinyan sent a tentative message, "You, are back?"

Someone knocked on the door. "Come in," Ji Jinyan said habitually.

Seeing that the person coming was Ye Lin, Ji Jinyan quickly quit the game.

Ye Lin came up to him and asked, "What's wrong?"

"You said I could find someone to help me complete the bid?"

"right."

"Li Yao, I chose her."

"Li Yao?" Ji Jinyan had no impression of this person.

"It's the new intern."

While Ye Lin was speaking, Ji Jinyan suddenly glanced at the photo of her back placed beside him. Ji Jinyan took the photo calmly and with a normal expression.

"Just one intern?"

"That's enough."

"Okay, I'll ask Li Ming to transfer her to you."

Ji Jinyan agreed, but Ye Lin still did not leave.

Ye Lin looked at Ji Jinyan. Ji Jinyan pretended to be calm and didn't even look at the photo lying upside down.

Ye Lin slowly said, "Is that piece of land in West City important?"

Ji Jinyan lowered his eyes and gave a positive answer, "Yes."

"I understand." Ye Lin turned and left.

Ji Jinyan watched Ye Lin close the door, pick up the photo frame and lock it in the drawer. Ye Lin, who was walking in the aisle, moved her ears slightly.

A man walked towards her and passed by Ye Lin. He stopped and looked back.

Ji Jinyan's office was opened. "Hey, Jinyan. The one who just went over must be the newly hired controller. She seems to have a nice temperament, but I didn't see her face clearly just now." As he spoke, he strode to sit on the sofa next to him.

Ji Jinyan didn't raise his eyes, "Next time you come in, remember to knock on the door."

That person is Gu Lian, the vice president of DY Group, but the main affairs are managed by Ji Jinyan. He is also a shareholder of the company. He is from a Kyoto family and has been a subsidiary family of the Ji family for generations. He supports the Ji family and is bound to the Ji family. The two have been closely connected.

Gu Liyan is the son of the direct line of the Gu family. He has always been idle and disobedient. He has a good relationship with Ji Jinyan.

"Knock on the door, what are you doing? Hand-picked financial controller, Ji Jinyan, this is not your style. Are you attracted to that girl? I came here specially to see you."

Ji Jinyan ignored Gu Li'an's jokes and said, "Why are you coming to the company if you have nothing to do? Let's talk business."

"Hey, you're so old-fashioned and boring, people might not even like you."

Ji Jinyan gave Gu Li'an a sharp look, and Gu Li'an immediately admitted his weakness. "Okay, okay, I won't talk nonsense. I've found out everything. Our biggest competitor in that bidding was Changsheng Group. Although the land in Xicheng is a bit remote, the feng shui is quite good. In addition, the road construction in that area has recently started. When the traffic increases, we can build some industries and make a lot of money. I don't know what Jianye Real Estate is thinking about selling this land, but Changsheng Group is determined to get it."

"I see."

"Actually, Jin Yan, you should also know that Changsheng Group is not only interested in the value of that piece of land. Last time, you stole their business and let them lose the duck that was in their mouth. How could Changsheng Group's boss Chang Yongqiang swallow this anger? I guess he knew you were going to bid for that piece of land and deliberately went against you. They will definitely use all means to take it. Jin Yan, you are too sharp, and those old guys are very dissatisfied."

Ji Jinyan said: "Even if they fight for it, they won't be able to get it. Pay more attention to Chang Sheng's movements."

"Okay, I'll pay more attention."

Xia Zaoan came downstairs from home, sat next to Xia Keyu on the sofa and put his arm around him. "Brother, do you want to come visit my studio when it opens?"

Xia Keyu thought for a moment and said, "Ah, maybe not. I'm going on a business trip soon."

Xia Zaoan pouted and said, "Okay." She stood up and prepared to go upstairs.

Xia Keyu suddenly thought of something and called her, "Hey, is your friend Ye Lin going?"

"Of course Ye Lin will come." Xia Zaoan said affirmatively.

Xia Keyu immediately changed his tone, "I'll go on the day the studio opens."

Xia Zaoan asked doubtfully, "Aren't you going on a business trip?"

"Business trips are not as important as setting up my sister's studio."

Xia Zaoan muttered softly, "Didn't you say you were going on a business trip?" and went upstairs.

The next day, the doorbell of the Xia family's main gate rang. Xia Keyu opened the door and said, "Ye Lin."

Ye Lin said politely, "Brother Xia."

"Come in, I'm still cleaning up Good Morning."

Xia Keyu welcomed Ye Lin in and said, "Please sit down first. I'll go and say good morning."

"good."

Xia Keyu went upstairs. Ye Lin looked at the paintings hanging on the walls of the corridor. The Xia family's decoration was quite nice. Xia Keyu had a certain taste.

However, one painting caught Ye Lin's attention. It was placed in the center of the corridor, in the most conspicuous place. Ye Lin walked in and stood before it. It was a simple landscape painting, but it contained many painting techniques, with bright colors.

Xia Keyu walked down the stairs and saw Ye Lin looking at the painting. He came over to her. "Morning An will be down soon. Do you like this painting too? I bought it from Gaoguo Auction. When Morning An was just starting to paint, I immediately fell in love with this painting at Gaoguo Auction and gave it to her so she could observe and learn. She loved it too. Later, she spent a lot of time studying it and her painting skills improved a lot. After that, when she couldn't see anything more, she hung it at home to inspire herself."

"I had originally wanted to visit the artist, but the painting wasn't signed, and the auction house couldn't find out about the artist. There was only a 'Y' in the lower right corner, which looked like it was added later and not necessarily signed by the artist himself."

Ye Lin listened and wondered what she was thinking. "How much did you pay for this painting?"

"Not expensive, just one hundred million yuan."

Ye Lin lowered her eyes and rolled her eyes slightly, "Do you have too much money and nowhere to spend it?"

"What?" Xia Keyu didn't hear clearly.

Ye Lin immediately responded, "It's okay, I'm just praising you for being rich."

"Oh, our family is engaged in design and development. We are good at some fashion brands. Some of the more popular things have a larger audience, so it is easier to make money." Xia Keyu explained seriously when Ye Lin was puzzled.

Ye Lin was speechless. This person actually thought it was a compliment. Spending 100 million to buy a painting by an unknown painter was stupid.

But Ye Lin looked at the painting: after going around in circles, it finally returned to her hands.

Xia Zaoan walked down the stairs, "Ye Lin, I'm fine now, let's go."

Xia Zaoan pulled Ye Lin out of the door, and Xia Keyu followed.

"My brother wants to go with us, let him take us."

Xia Keyu drove Ye Lin and Xia Zaoan, who were sitting in the back seat, to Xia Zaoan's studio.

Xia Zaoan's studio is designed according to his favorite style, and the overall scale is quite good. Xia Zaoan took Ye Lin and Xia Keyu on a tour, and the studio's opening ceremony was successfully completed. Currently, there is only Xia Zaoan in the studio. If the studio can be established in the future, Xia Zaoan will consider recruiting more staff.

After finishing in the studio, Xia Zaoan asked Ye Lin to have dinner with him. Xia Keyu had some work to do, so he sent Ye Lin and Xia Zaoan to the restaurant and left.

Xia Zaoan and Ye Lin had ordered their meals and were chatting. In the private room next to them were two men.

"Mr. Chen, it's settled then. Happy cooperation!"

"Happy cooperation!" The two shook hands.

Gu Liyan was seeing the man off when a restaurant staff member happened to come out of the restaurant where Xia Zaoan was. Gu Liyan saw him and recognized Xia Zaoan.

Gu Li'an took advantage of the situation and walked into the box where Xia Zaoan was. "Hey, Xia Zaoan, you are here too." Then he sat down in the seat next to Xia Zaoan.

Ye Lin revealed that he was the person she met at DY Group that day. Gu Lian glanced to the side and saw Ye Lin's face.

"Good morning, this is your friend. Hello, pretty lady, I'm honored to have dinner with you."

Gu Li'an held his chin and tilted his head to look at Ye Lin, thinking he was exuding charm. Ye Lin looked normal. Xia Zaoan frowned and pulled Gu Li'an's arm.

"Gu Li'an, why are you here? I'm having dinner with my friends, why are you making trouble?"

"Morning Xia, you actually have such good-looking friends. I haven't eaten much either, so I'll have a meal at your place. Consider it your treat."

"Come here, order food."

"You..." Xia Zaoan was so angry at this shameless person that she was helpless and couldn't even drive him away.

Xia Zaoan had no choice but to let him stay here.

Xia Zaoan had no choice but to explain to Ye Lin: "Linlin, this is my classmate. He and I are both from Kyoto Art College, but he is from another department."

"Hi!" Gu Lian waved to Ye Lin.

Xia Zaoan slapped his disobedient paws away and said, "Don't worry about him. He's not smart. Let's eat ours."

…

Inside DY Group, Li Yao nervously handed the first draft of the bid to Ye Lin. Ye Lin took it and flipped through it, and Li Yao stared at Ye Lin's expression nervously.

“Can you write a bid?”

Li Yao shook her head.

"Why not?"

Li Yao shook her head.

"Then how can you do that?"

Li Yao shook her head again.

"If your dissertation is of this quality, I don't understand why your instructor passed it."

After saying that, Ye Lin stood up and left.

Li Yao returned to his seat in frustration, buried his head on the table, and kept denying himself in his heart, falling into extreme self-deprecation.

Ye Lin walked to Li Yao's seat, and Li Yao looked up when she heard the voice.

"These are examples of excellent bids from the past. Take a look at them and combine them with the information I gave you. Return the second version of the bid to me in a week. If you don't understand something, ask me. It will take time for you to understand it through your own research."

Li Yao looked at Ye Lin in surprise. It turned out that Ye Lin had gone to prepare materials. Li Yao thought that Ye Lin was disappointed in her.

Ye Lin looked at Li Yao's slightly red eyes and said helplessly: "Don't think too much." She touched Li Yao's head twice to comfort her and returned to her seat.

Li Yao flipped open the document. The blank spaces next to the information were filled with handwritten annotations. Ye Lin had marked all the relevant information. Li Yao examined the concise annotations and glanced at Ye Lin, who was playing a game. Encouraged, Li Yao decided to work hard to avoid bringing trouble to Ye Lin, and began to study diligently.

Ji Jinyan arrived at the first floor of DY Group. "Hello, President Ji." The two receptionists watched Ji Jinyan get on the elevator. "Hey, don't you think President Ji has been coming to the company quite often lately?"

"Yeah, it feels like I see Mr. Ji quite often lately. Maybe he's busy with some projects."

Ye Lin opened her game mailbox. At the top was an unread message. The profile picture was completely white, the nickname was "J," and the message read, "You, are back?"

Ye Lin stared at the message and recalled her acquaintance with "J".

At the time, Ye Lin was still attending No. 1 Middle School, her days were easy, almost effortless. So, for a while during high school, Ye Lin occasionally began playing games. That day, as usual, she logged into the then-popular and rapidly popular online game "Yiyou Jianghu." Her skilled skills and sharp speed made her undefeated. Just as Ye Lin finished a round, a friend request popped up in the game. It was a pure white avatar named "J," the same one as Ye Lin, whose nickname was "Y."

Ye Lin never approved friend requests from strangers, but this person's profile picture and nickname were very similar to hers, so Ye Lin was curious and approved the verification. She immediately received an invitation saying "J has invited Y to play against him." Wanting to test this person's credentials, Ye Lin accepted the invitation.

Ye Lin and J entered a dungeon and did not encounter any other gangs, so the mission was relatively easy. They just had to kill the final boss and obtain the magic weapon.

Ye Lin and J killed monsters together without communicating. Ye Lin killed more monsters, while J followed behind her, while Ye Lin led the charge. J's operation was obviously not very good, although J's level was relatively high. Ye Lin suspected that someone was helping J practice his account, and that he definitely didn't achieve this by himself.

Finally, we encountered the final boss, a massive monster with incredibly high HP and a regenerative rate of health. Ye Lin frantically killed it, and J came to help, but his skills were poor, and he was quickly defeated by the monster. The monster instantly regenerated HP after each kill, while J had to wait for his resurrection, while Ye Lin continued to fight the monster. Normally, for monsters of this level, groups would team up to kill the final boss. Sometimes, they would encounter members of other gangs, and each would rely on their own skills. If the monster was too difficult to kill, several gangs would team up to kill it, and then discuss how to divide the rewards. Some would choose to split it evenly, while others would later engage in a gang-to-gang fight, with the rewards going to the winning gang.

Ye Lin hadn't expected J to invite her to a dungeon solo. She'd assumed he was powerful enough to not need so many people, but he turned out to be such a wimp. Ye Lin had already whittled down the boss's health by half, when J revived and tried to dodge in time, only to be killed instantly again. The boss's health instantly regenerated. All Ye Lin's previous skills had been wasted. J realized he'd been more of a hindrance than a helper, and didn't know what to do.

Y typed in the conversation: Your hands are newly rented.

J types in the conversation: Sorry.

Ye Lin could see that he knew nothing.

"Follow me and hide behind me. Use whatever skills I tell you to use. Move flexibly and don't get hit by the boss."

'good. '

Ye Lin couldn't rely on him, so she had to do it herself. Fortunately, J had some foresight and tried hard to keep up with Ye Lin's pace. He didn't fall behind and successfully cleared the dungeon.

For a while after that, J didn't bother Ye Lin. One day, during a group fight, since Ye Lin and J were friends and could see Ye Lin's location in the game, J suddenly appeared to help and won the battle. After that, J often followed Ye Lin, asking her to guide him and help him in battles. As time went by, they became quite close in the game, and Ye Lin became a semi-mentor to J.

Ever since Ye Lin went to Gao Country, she has lost contact with many people in Quan Country, including this game friend.

A game prompt sounded, "J invites you to join the Snow Mountain Top dungeon, do you agree to join?" It had been a long time since Ye Lin had fought side by side with J, so she agreed to J's invitation.

Ye Lin and J entered the dungeon together. This time, J had invited only Ye Lin, making it just the two of them, just like the first time. However, what was different this time was that Ye Lin and J were both capable enough to defeat the ultimate monster. Even though they hadn't worked together in years, Ye Lin and J still had a rapport. J's skills were a world apart. Ye Lin found it incredibly easy, requiring very little effort. Most of the damage went to J, whose attacks were incredibly swift. Ye Lin could sense that with J's current strength, single-handedly taking down the boss was no problem.

The game ended smoothly with Ye Lin's team winning. Ye Lin typed, "You've made a lot of progress in the past two years."

"I practiced a lot while you were gone," Ye Lin said, chatting with J for a while longer. In the two years since Ye Lin's absence, J had become the new number one player in the national server. Many admired him in the game, and he was practically unrivaled in the region.
