Heirs
Qin Shi understood Lu Zhiyan's expression, which was reluctance.
The reluctant look on Lu Zhiyan's face disappeared immediately after he saw Qin Shi's inquiring gaze.
Lu Zhiyan resumed his nonchalant demeanor. "Don't worry, Mr. Qin. I'll definitely hand over all my work before I leave. First of all, regarding Jian An's situation, I was planning to tell you later, but it looks like today is a good opportunity."
Qin Shi glanced at Jian An's office and said, "Jian An and I have known each other for more than ten years. You don't need to tell me about his situation."
Lu Zhiyan shook his head. "This is a different time. A few days ago, Jian An could be considered Jian Yi's competitor, but now I can be sure that he will be Jian Yi's loyal partner. He hopes Jian Qing can return to the Jian family more than any of us. To show his sincerity, he will complete Jian Lu's bankruptcy procedures within a month."
The amount of information Lu Zhiyan said was a bit too much, and Qin Shi couldn't quite react.
"How is this possible? What does Jian An want to do? He is not that kind of person." Qin Shi said with certainty. After all, since Jian An had gone through so much hardship to take control of the large group Jian's and the small startup company Jianlu in his own hands, he would not let go so easily.
Lu Zhiyan: "Because of guilt."
Qin Shi: "Jian An feels sorry for me?"
Lu Zhiyan: "He feels sorry for Jian Qing."
Qin Shi: "Why did he suddenly feel guilty?"
Lu Zhiyan: "Because he is not a child of the Jian family."
Qin Shi's heart should have been in turmoil, but since she had just learned the shocking news that Lu Zhiyan was the heir to Tianlong Group, she would not be too surprised even if someone told her that Jian An was an alien.
"Jian An is quite interesting. Look at the layout of this office. Does it remind you of anything?"
Qin Shi took another look around Jian An's office in Jianlu Company. Although the office was not large, the decorative materials were very exquisite. There was a desk made of a whole piece of small-leaf red sandalwood, a new Chinese-style coffee table and sofa, and detailed landscape paintings hanging on the wall. She once thought that this was the territory of a middle-aged man.
"It doesn't look like the aesthetic taste of a man his age. Could it be that Jian An moved the furniture from the Jian Group office here to save money?"
Lu Zhiyan shook his head and smiled: "He doesn't have the courage. The layout of this office is his tribute to his idol Jian Zhihui."
Qin Shi sorted out her thoughts: "So you concluded that Jian An has no hostility towards Jian Yi because Qing Qing is Jian Zhihui's daughter?"
Lu Zhiyan nodded: "Whether you believe it or not, Jian An currently holds very few shares in the Jian Group. He only has agency rights and does not receive much dividends. He has been facilitating the reconciliation between Jian Zhihui and Jian Qing. He wants Jian Qing to return to the Jian Group."
Hearing this, Qin Shi frowned, not quite believing it: "Did Jian An tell you this? Lu Zhiyan, you shouldn't be such a naive person."
"I have another source."
Qin Shi stopped asking questions after hearing this. She was afraid that Lu Zhiyan had a source of information in the Jian family.
"Do you have other sources of information in Jianyi?"
Lu Zhiyan: "In Jianyi, you are my only connection."
After a brief thought, Qin Shi chose to believe Lu Zhiyan: "So what do you think I should do?"
Lu Zhiyan: "The extent of cooperation with Jian An depends on Jian Qing's willingness."
Qin Shi: "Qingqing?"
Lu Zhiyan: "You will understand later."
Qin Shi thought about it and it made sense. After all, this was an internal matter of the Jian family. Jian An or Jian Qing, in the final analysis, they were connected because of the word "Jian".
"Well, I have already explained Jian An's work here. If Jian Yi Legal needs anyone, I can recommend someone," Lu Zhiyan added.
Jian An and Assistant Lin also returned to the office at the appropriate time, bringing Naskai with them, who was still drowsy.
When Na Sikai saw Qin Shi, his eyes lit up: "Boss Qin, have you made up your mind? Are you here to buy the production line?"
Qin Shi shook her head. "I came here to see how you're doing at Jianlu. I have a general idea of the situation. I can consider using your work, but not hiring you. I'd like to buy the copyright."
Qin Shi made this decision after careful consideration. Jian Lu's production line was too primitive, and to Jian Yi it was just scrap metal, so she couldn't meet Na Sikai's proposal. However, Na Sikai's work still had some merits, and if possible, purchasing the copyright was also a solution.
Nasky yawned, "That won't work."
Qin Shi stood up and said, "Okay, today's mission is over. See you later."
Only when he saw Jian Yi and his group walking away did Na Skye wake up from his sleep.
"Mr. Jian An, what's going on?" Na Sky looked at Jian An in confusion.
"It's okay, it's okay. You just rejected Jian Yi's olive branch. As for work, there will be other opportunities."
Jane patted Nazca's shoulder gently to comfort him.
Na Sikai finally realized that his job plan had been ruined. He hurried out and shouted, "Boss Qin, wait for me. Can you buy the copyright and provide food and accommodation?"
Jian An looked at Na Sikai's hurriedly retreating figure, put her hands on her hips and shook her head: "Na Sikai, ever since you went to Jian Yi last time, you have been thinking about Jian Yi's food. You have no conscience. Didn't I also provide you with food and accommodation?"
Naskai vaguely heard Jianan's complaints and quickly waved his hand: "The food here is not tasty, I want to improve the food!"
***
Qin Shi spent an evening researching Tianlong Group and was secretly surprised. She had previously known it only as a prestigious corporation headquartered in the capital, but now she discovered it encompassed multiple industries, including real estate and commerce. Its CEO was a mysterious figure, rarely appearing in public.
Some people say that the success of Tianlong Group mainly depends on Mrs. Lu, but who Mrs. Lu is is even more mysterious.
For some people, from the first moment you meet them, you will feel that they do not belong to your world.
Jian Qing noticed Qin Shi's hesitation and sadness: "Shi Shi, if you have anything on your mind, you can tell me."
"Lu Zhiyan is leaving." Qin Shi suppressed her reluctance and smiled at Jian Qing: "Don't worry, without his mischief, our Jian Yi will be better off."
Jian Qingyan also revealed a sense of loss: "It turns out that modern people also have separations."
After she came to modern society, she only felt that the distance between people was closer. This was the first time she felt the pain of separation that modern people suffer from.
"Fortunately, communication is well developed now. You can keep in touch via WeChat in the future." Jian Qing thought about the advantages of modern people and comforted them.
Qin Shi patted Jian Qing's head and said, "Okay, I'm not that reluctant to leave. Everything is fine now. We have our own company and we're doing what we love. If Lu Zhiyan leaves, there will always be Zhang Zhiyan and Li Zhiyan. It's okay."
Lu Zhiyan arrived as scheduled. He was no longer carrying his usual briefcase and had a fresh, more youthful hairstyle. He walked into Qin Shi's office confidently and boldly, just like the first time he came to Jianyi.
"I have almost completed the personnel process. Please sign here." Lu Zhiyan handed Qin Shi an A4 paper and said.
Qin Shi picked up the pen, glanced at it, and signed it in one go.
After completing the resignation procedures, Lu Zhiyan began to tidy up his desk. When everything was ready, he asked someone to move the desk out of the president's office.
"The office is much cleaner and quieter now." Lu Zhiyan said as he looked at the packed luggage.
"Yes, Jian Yi will get better and better in the future, and I will get better and better too. As for you, I wish you all the best." Qin Shi looked at Lu Zhiyan and tried to show a smile.
The office was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
"I have something to give you." Lu Zhiyan said.
Qin Shi saw Lu Zhiyan giving souvenirs to colleagues at various workstations in the company early in the morning, and she must have received one too.
"A souvenir for everyone?"
Lu Zhiyan smiled: "Boss Qin is really smart. Assistant Lin didn't even guess it. She heard the fake news that I was going back to inherit a multi-million fortune, and she thought I was going to give her a big red envelope."
After Lu Zhiyan finished speaking, he took out an ornament and placed it on Qin Shi's desk.
The ornament is very cute, the kitten stretches out its paw and shakes it with a smile, it is definitely a lucky cat.
Lu Zhiyan coughed and said, "Everyone gets a share of that one, and this one is just for you."
After that, he took out an exquisite wooden box from his pocket and opened it carefully.
"This is the Lu family's ancestral bracelet."
Lu family? Ancestral?
Qin Shi was confused again. Didn't Lu Zhiyan have a bad relationship with his father? And now he actually got the Lu family's ancestral bracelet?
"My mother's last name is also Lu, and the bracelet was left to me by my mother."
As expected of Lu Zhiyan, he saw through Qin Shi’s thoughts at a glance. Before Qin Shi asked any questions, he explained the whole story.
The emerald green bracelet is even more beautiful under the light, and it seems as if ice and snow are sparkling under the bright green color.
The first time Qin Shi saw it, there were only four words in his mind: priceless.
But the most surprised person at the scene was not Qin Shi, nor Lu Zhiyan, but Jian Qing.
Huh?
She asked doubtfully, stepping closer.
Lu Zhiyan: "The adults are talking, kids, go play on the side."
Qin Shi also noticed that something was wrong with Jian Qing.
“Qingqing, do you want to see this bracelet?”
The sound of "Qingqing" brought Jian Qing back from her thoughts. She asked tremblingly, "Are there dark lines in the shape of rice grains inside the bracelet? They're right inside. You can see them if you look carefully."
Lu Zhiyan turned the jewelry box around and observed it.
"Really? The Lu family rarely takes out their heirlooms. When have you seen one?"
