Chapter 368 Give Him Another Chance
Shi Nian looked at Old Master Li's serious expression.
From the look in Old Master Li's eyes, it was clear that the other party did know something, but wouldn't tell her.
The person who makes Old Master Li hesitate to speak and is extremely cautious must not be an ordinary person or an ordinary force.
But……
Shi Nian lowered her eyes slightly.
The person who died was her father.
Her family disappeared after her father died.
Her relationship with her mother remains awkward to this day.
How could she not investigate?
How could she pretend nothing had happened and bury her head in the sand like an ostrich?
She can't do it.
However, she didn't want to argue with Old Master Li.
So she changed the subject.
Shi Nian looked up and smiled at Old Master Li.
She put down her water glass and picked up an orange from the side to peel it.
She said, "Grandpa Li, all I want to do right now is to get to the bottom of Yu Yan's situation."
Grandpa Li looked at Shi Nian peeling an orange in front of him.
He understood Shi Nian's intention: she would definitely investigate further.
Old Master Li shook his head helplessly.
But I also knew it in my heart.
This is his daughter.
She has the same temper as him.
Thinking about it, I felt relieved.
“Yuyan has a problem,” said Old Master Li. “I don’t know the specifics, but I’ve heard that they didn’t originally plan to release their latest technology so soon, but they changed their minds at the last minute.”
"What exactly it is requires a long period of investigation."
"Based on the risk assessment, it is not suitable to invest at present."
Shi Nian nodded; this was pretty much what she had in mind.
Shi Nian peeled the orange, broke it open, tasted a segment herself, found it very sweet, and then handed it to the old man.
"It's not sour," she said with a smile. "Thank you, Grandpa Li."
Grandpa Li prefers sweet to sour.
This is what Shi Yichen told her back then.
Old Master Li accepted it.
A short while later, Li Tongruo returned. Shi Nian chatted with her for a while before saying goodbye to everyone and leaving.
Shi Nian went to find Lin Zhihuan.
Lin Zhihuan was about to change shifts, and she was talking to Shi Nian about many things.
“Niannian, I’m a little worried. What if Aran’s company doesn’t work out?” Lin Zhihuan asked worriedly. “You know, it’s easy to fail when starting a business.”
Shi Nian chuckled and tapped Lin Zhihuan's nose.
She thought for a moment and said, "Actually, I think what Auntie said was just to get Jian Jinran's attitude."
Lin Zhihuan looked at Shi Nian.
Shi Nian said, "You do the math yourself. Jian Jinran is a top-notch technician at a large company. After he gets more years of experience, he'll definitely earn a lot of money in the future, with things like stock options."
"I reckon Jian Jinran understood, so she gave her stance now."
Lin Zhihuan thought about it and agreed.
She hasn't been frugal at all these days.
However, there was no unhappiness in his interactions with Jian Jinran.
"What if my mom still objects in the end?" Lin Zhihuan asked worriedly.
"I think you could have an open and honest talk with your aunt," Shi Nian said. "Good communication is one way to solve problems."
"Furthermore," Shi Nian leaned closer to Lin Zhihuan and whispered in her ear, "do you really think the rest of us should just stand by and watch Jian Jinran start her business?"
"Watching him fail in his business? Impossible."
"Moreover, irreplaceable top-notch technical personnel are in high demand everywhere."
Shi Nian looked at Lin Zhihuan's wide eyes and smiled as she patted Lin Zhihuan's head.
Lin Zhihuan immediately hugged Shi Nian.
"Niannian, you're so kind," Lin Zhihuan said in a muffled voice.
Shi Nian lowered her eyes slightly and looked at Lin Zhihuan.
Based on our interactions these past few days, Jian Jinran seems like a nice person, and she treats Lin Zhihuan quite well too.
Perhaps Lin Zhihuan's mother felt that their relationship was developing too fast, so she wanted to test it out.
I hope Jian Jinran will continue to treat Lin Zhihuan well, otherwise, Shi Nian will definitely not let him go!
"Okay, don't think too much, Huanhuan. Aunt Xu took me to a beauty salon before and I felt it was pretty good. Shall we go get a facial together?" Shi Nian said.
"Great!" Lin Zhihuan jumped up. "You pay!"
"Mm." Shi Nian nodded with a smile.
"I'm going to pack my things and change my clothes, wait for me!" Lin Zhihuan said, and then went to get her things.
Shi Nian waited for her here.
She was texting Huo Yanmo, saying she was with Lin Zhihuan that evening and didn't need to wait for her for dinner. Then, looking up, Shi Nian seemed to see someone.
She frowned slightly.
Thinking back to the document she had seen before, she felt a little strange.
After sending a message to Lin Zhihuan, she followed him.
About fifteen minutes later, Shi Nian returned. She had just seen something and seemed to be deep in thought. Lin Zhihuan also returned after changing her clothes.
"So fast?" Lin Zhihuan was a little surprised.
Shi Nian nodded and said, "Huanhuan, when you have time later, could you help me look up someone?"
Lin Zhihuan grabbed Shi Nian's arm and said, "You can pay the bill at the beauty salon, everything will be fine."
"I never intended for you to pay," Shi Nian said with a smile, leading Lin Zhihuan downstairs to the car.
...
The news that Yuyan had received a large overseas order broke at 11 p.m.
There are time differences between domestic and international markets.
It was during working hours abroad at the time, so there was nothing unusual about the timing.
However, the timing is quite delicate in China.
Especially since Yuyan was scheduled to hold a fundraising meeting at 10 a.m. the following day.
In no time, everyone who was paying attention to this matter had their phones ringing off the hook.
I received this news while at PIH.
After she and Lin Zhihuan went to the beauty salon that night, Lin Zhihuan wanted to drink, so Shi Nian accompanied her.
"Sister Nian, I just urgently found someone to verify its authenticity." Xiaoyu's voice came from the other end of the phone. "The company staff have also been called in to work overtime to try to prepare a new plan by tomorrow morning."
Shi Nian nodded.
"You've worked hard," Shi Nian said. "After this busy period, I'll give you double the bonuses and paid leave."
Xiaoyu quickly went to get busy.
Shi Nian was looking at the dance floor below.
Lin Zhihuan was jumping happily there.
Shi Nian felt she should go back to the company at this time. She had just opened the door of the private room to go down and call Lin Zhihuan when she looked up and saw Yu Yiyang.
"Shi Nian?" Yu Yiyang called out to her first.
"Okay." Shi Nian nodded, and then turned to leave.
Yu Yiyang waved for the others to go first, then followed Shi Nian to the stairwell.
"Is there something you need?" Shi Nian asked, turning around.
"I'd like to say a few words to you," Yu Yiyang said.
Shi Nian looked around.
“Brother Lu isn’t nearby,” Yu Yiyang said, seemingly having read Shi Nian’s mind.
Shi Nian paused slightly and looked at Yu Yiyang: "What do you want to say to me?"
“Shi Nian, Brother Lu has actually been regretting it a lot.” Yu Yiyang recalled all the things he had seen Lu Yanzhi recently.
He said, "He's not doing well lately. Could you go see him more often and... give him another chance?"
