Qin Lin pursed his thin lips, not saying a word, as his eyes silently stared at the nearby Lin Mian, dissipating some of the anger that had built up all morning.
Good, she was sensible enough not to have lunch with Qin Li.
Otherwise, he really wanted to kill her right away.
He had been displeased with them since the morning!
"I'm telling you, that's enough. Qin Li and her are in the same industry, same school, same major, with innate advantages. You should work and communicate normally even if you keep staring at them," Land White, an onlooker, lazily advised him.
Qin Lin: "..."
How could he be close?
Could he be even closer than their neighbors?
The more he thought about it, the more blocked his heart felt. He put down his chopsticks with a "clank" and got up with a cold face to leave.
"I'm full, let's go."
"You haven't taken a bite, how can you be full..."
Land White stood up, hugged his shoulder, and said, "Let's go, accompany me for a meal."
"I'm not going."
"If you don't go, I'll go back and tell Lin Mian right away that you've been secretly following her around like a stalker when she's not looking."
Qin Lin fell silent for a moment, "Where are we going?"
Land White smiled satisfactorily, "Just a nearby Cantonese restaurant, light and soothing, to cool off."
"...".
During lunch, Lin Mian chatted with her colleagues about Linda, which led to discussions about projects abroad. She wanted to consult and learn more, seeking advice. The manager sitting across from her had also been with the company for several years and had a better understanding of the company's situation.
"It's normal to go abroad. The company recruits people every year to develop overseas, but strict background checks and identity verification are required. The standards are high, and once you go abroad, there will be a long period of no communication," the manager explained.
"No communication?" Lin Mian asked.
"It must be some kind of confidentiality work. Projects abroad are usually quite confidential, and I don't know much about them either," the manager shrugged. "But in previous years, it was always new employees who went abroad. Linda is a senior employee, so it's quite unusual for her to suddenly go abroad."
Lin Mian nibbled on her chopsticks, lost in thought. Could it be because of her?
"But Lin Mian, you are quite lucky," the manager praised her. "As the A University board director, President Qin brings in the best candidates from each class to the company, personally grooming them. If he sees potential in you, it means you have unlimited possibilities. Work hard!"
"The previous outstanding student from A University's architecture department, who was the top student, has already been sent abroad for further studies by him. I heard her family had financial difficulties before, but now her future looks bright!"
Lin Mian listened to these words and felt a sense of revelation. So that's why he recommended her to go abroad. Perhaps he wanted to help her improve her life on one hand, and on the other hand, he wanted to nurture talent. It seemed that Qin Li was indeed very kind-hearted. Not only did he provide scholarships and financial aid to impoverished students at A University, but he also made great efforts to help them in their careers.
The previous top student from A University's architecture department, whom she knew, was a very kind and enthusiastic senior sister with a good temperament. They had met a few times before. Lin Mian remembered her clearly - her name was Jiang Yinan, a very memorable name indeed. However, since graduation, it seemed like she had disappeared. Lin Mian hadn't heard any news about her for a long time.
Lin Mian paused for a moment, wondering if she went abroad, would she also have to stay in a foreign country forever due to confidentiality work?
