"Jingyu, are you really alright?"
Lin Jingyu snapped out of her reverie when she heard Peng Shiyu's question.
Meeting her worried gaze, he smiled silently.
He spun around in front of her and said, "Do I look injured? If I were really injured, I wouldn't have been able to get back so quickly."
"I'm glad you're okay!"
Peng Shiyu looked her up and down several times before feeling relieved. "Sister Jingyu, you went on such a dangerous mission without telling me. What if..."
“Telling you will only make you worry.”
Lin Jingyu pulled her to sit down on the sofa next to her. "That's why I kept it from you, and I also hoped that you could keep an eye on the company for me without worry."
Besides, since this is a task assigned from above, I can't explain it to you. Situations like this may occur again in the future, so you don't need to worry about me.
I have this ability and I should serve the country. Only when you and I both make efforts can our country become better and better.
If our generation doesn't work hard, then the next generation, or the generation after that, will have to bear the burden.
If we work hard to support them, then the next generation, and the generation after that, won't have to work so hard.
If we, the younger generation, work hard to build this nation, then the next generation can strengthen it. In that way, our country will not be far from a golden age. Don't you think so?
"I know."
Peng Shiyu couldn't help but feel a little red-eyed. "I'm still afraid something will happen to you. I just can't bear the thought of anything happening to you."
"You should trust me."
Lin Jingyu laughed and said, "I'm still thinking about making a lot of money, buying a lot of houses, and living together into the new century. How could I let anything happen to myself?"
Don't worry, I'm the person most afraid of death. I plan to live to be over a hundred years old, and I hope we can still sit together and drink tea then.
"I will."
Hearing these kind words, Peng Shiyu finally smiled and said, "I'm just glad that Sister Jingyu doesn't mind."
"How could I possibly dislike you?"
Lin Jingyu joked, "Even if I dislike your brother, I won't dislike you. In my heart, you are much more important than your brother."
"ah!"
Upon suddenly hearing her 'confession,' Peng Shiyu's eyes widened. 'Sister Jingyu, you don't like my brother anymore?'
"No."
Lin Jingyu shrugged. "What I mean is that you're more important than your brother."
"..."
Peng Shiyu was stunned.
She couldn't help but feel secretly pleased, and the corners of her mouth turned up in a smile that she couldn't suppress.
Her voice carried a hint of amusement as she spoke, "Sister Jingyu, my brother will definitely be unhappy if he hears this."
But in my heart, you are more important than Pengfei.
"I like to hear that."
Lin Jingyu's smile deepened. "So let's make a promise that we'll drink tea together when we're old."
"good!"
Peng Shiyu happily agreed.
Seeing that the person in front of her was finally happy, Lin Jingyu quickly changed the subject, "How has things been at our company these days?"
"fine."
Peng Shiyu responded, "Everything is normal. It's just that several actors wanted to join our company, but since you weren't there, no one dared to make the decision. They will only sign contracts after you come back and meet them."
"We can have them come over tomorrow."
Lin Jingyu nodded, "Our company has just been established, so we need to pay extra attention to the actors we recruit."
In a while, I will recruit a manager to manage the company.
At least when I'm not in the office, someone can keep things under control.
"It is indeed necessary."
Peng Shiyu added, "Sister Xinyue once said that the company should have a capable general manager, and we can't expect you, the boss, to personally handle all the problems."
"We do have that plan. We can look around in the meantime and hire a suitable candidate."
"By the way, Sister Jingyu, Lu Zhengxing from the He Gang and Li Yubai from the 12K Gang both came to see you."
"Oh, did they mention anything about talent?"
"No, I heard you went back to China and left a message saying you'd come see me when you have time."
"There shouldn't be anything important, so we can ignore them for now."
"I see."
...
“Failed!”
Inside a villa, a middle-aged man with a fierce aura gleamed in his eyes. "The first mercenary to receive the mission has gone missing and was killed in the suburbs of Xiangdu."
"With hundreds of people sacrificed, it's normal for a few mercenaries to die."
Kneeling to one side, the short, stocky middle-aged man calmly took over the conversation, "If this girl were so easy to kill, no one would have put her on the bounty list."
"Hmph, those British devils are really useless."
The middle-aged man, his eyes flashing with menace, looked disgusted. "In my opinion, we should send another team to Xiangdu to assassinate this little girl. The news from above is that the higher-ups here value this girl highly."
If we could kill this girl, it would be like cutting off one of their arms.
If we can create some chaos, we can take advantage of the confusion to fleece some more people.
Unfortunately, it hasn't come to fruition.
"Don't rush, there will always be opportunities."
The short, burly man looked unconvinced. "Xiangdu is a chaotic and disorganized place, and it's under the control of the British. It's fine for us to send some people in to cause trouble."
"Wait a few more days. If there's still no progress, then we'll apply to send someone to Xiangdu to deal with this girl."
“We have people in Xiangdu.”
The fierce-looking middle-aged man sneered, "Let's see if this little girl can escape being hunted down again and again."
We continued to relay her message to the Peng family, and we heard that Madam Peng didn't like her as her daughter-in-law. The backstabbing from family members is probably more interesting.
