The assistant, still basking in his own self-satisfaction, was completely unaware that his job was in jeopardy, and continued to chatter on and on.

"Finished talking? If you're done, go back to work. Have you prepared the materials for the meeting at 2 PM? Also, when are you going to submit the first draft of the tender document for that project I'm preparing for bidding?"

The atmosphere was fine when they came in, but seeing the usually good-tempered CEO Lin suddenly change his expression, the assistant was sweating profusely.

He turned to leave, but Linda called out to him, "Take all your things with you."

"Oh? Mr. Lin, you're not eating? Miss An cooked the food herself, and she even bought the coffee herself!"

"Do I need to repeat myself? Take them all."

Yes, yes, yes.

In a flash, the assistant's intelligence finally kicked in, and he hurriedly stepped forward to take away all the things that had been diligently and attentively brought earlier.

They were fine just a couple of days ago, why the sudden change of attitude? Could it be that Mr. Lin and Ms. An had a falling out?

No, no, no—the assistant immediately denied her above speculation.

If the two had a falling out, it's impossible for Miss An to still send things over as usual.

No, no—the assistant overturned his own guess.

Could it be that Miss An angered President Lin?

!!

How could someone as good-tempered as President Lin get angry?

It seems Mr. Lin truly loves Miss An!

No—this can't be done—

Even if it's just for a harmonious, relaxed, and friendly work environment in the future—

No—it's for Mr. Lin's lifelong happiness.

The assistant clenched his fist, making a silent resolution!

Mr. Lin and Ms. An are a perfect match, both handsome and beautiful, a match made in heaven, neither of them married.

It would be best if the two of them locked up immediately, and even better if they could get married on the spot. He'd be willing to move the Civil Affairs Bureau there for them for free.

The assistant strode back to his workstation, pulled out his phone, and made a call.

——

Linda didn't eat dinner. He spent the entire afternoon and evening working. By the time he finished his work, it was already 10:30 p.m.

Looking out the window, I saw colorful neon lights flashing continuously in the darkness of night.

I vaguely felt like I had forgotten something.

It probably isn't that important, otherwise why would he forget it?

Linda pushed open the office door, and her assistant looked up immediately upon hearing the sound.

"President Lin—"

"I've already read through the tender documents once. Please check and revise them again based on my annotations later, and submit another version to me tomorrow."

When business was brought up, the assistant's expression immediately became much more serious: "Okay, Mr. Lin, I'll call you first thing tomorrow morning."

After giving her instructions, Linda turned and left, still pondering the details of the tender document, her ears automatically ignoring the faint calls from her assistant behind her.

Today, instead of having a date with An Wenjing under the guise of a date, Lin Da was greeted with a questioning look from his grandmother when he got home: "Xiao Da, why are you back? Where's Wenjing?"

"Grandma, it's been a long time since I've taken you out for a walk. I happen to have some free time today, so I'll take you out for a stroll later."

"Don't change the subject. Shouldn't you be going to Yuefuzhou with Wenjing to watch the fireworks? The fireworks haven't even started yet, have they? Why are you back so early?"

Linda finally realized what she had forgotten before leaving get off work.

When his assistant brought dinner, he was reminded to go straight to his destination after finishing his work, where An Wenjing would be waiting for him.

Although he didn't want to go, he didn't dare to openly refuse An Wenjing's invitation, otherwise he would be in big trouble with Grandma Lin when he got home.

As a result, he forgot everything when he got busy.

At this moment, facing Grandma Lin's anger, Lin Da felt completely overwhelmed.

"Grandma—don't worry, I'll be there right now, okay?"

"Come back, by the time you get there, the daylily will be cold."

Linda: This is so hard for me!

"I'll arrange a date with Wenjing for you tomorrow at that newly opened trendy restaurant on Yuefu Island. I've heard the food there is really delicious. Don't work overtime tomorrow; pick Wenjing up as soon as you get off work and make sure you apologize to her properly, okay?"

Linda: "Grandma, I have an important bidding meeting to attend tomorrow, and it's in another city."

Grandma Lin rolled her eyes at him: "Let Xiao Li go. You paid Xiao Li a salary to be your assistant. If he doesn't work now, when will he?"

Linda: "Grandma, Xiao Li is also going on a business trip tomorrow afternoon. There's an important industry conference in Guangzhou, and Xiao Li will attend in my place."

Grandma Lin was impatient to hear his work-related nonsense: "I don't want to hear it, I don't want to hear it—ouch, my chest hurts—"

Linda said helplessly, "Grandma, please stop acting. I promise you."

Grandma Lin's expression changed instantly: "Alright, this is my good grandson! At my age, I should be enjoying my retirement with my grandchildren. You can't upset me anymore!"

Linda was completely speechless.

I got up and helped Grandma Lin downstairs for a walk.

"Waaaaah, Dudu, do you think I'm just not charming enough? I feel like I'm playing a single-player game all the time. The other person isn't connected to the internet, so how am I supposed to get a call? I just hate that Linda is such a blockhead!"

The grandfather and grandson, who happened to be returning from their walk, overheard this sentence clearly.

Grandma Lin was exasperated and slapped away Lin Da's hand that was helping her up.

What a blockhead!

Wenjing is right.
