Dao Wen was amused; the feeling of being unexpectedly tickled by something was beyond her own understanding. It was as if, no matter how casual the question, once it reached Zong Jin, a very serious and logical answer would always follow. Dao Wen enjoyed this sense of having her questions answered and everything explained; in this back-and-forth exchange, she found a long-lost sense of security.
Zong Jin drove in a direction unfamiliar to everyone. Tong Le was the first to notice something was off with the route. "This isn't the way home, is it? Where are we going?"
Zong Jin replied, "I'm taking you to see the address of the distillery I chose for Dao Wen. It's a really good location, and I've already spoken to the owner to hold it for me."
Dao Wen quipped, "At this hour, in the dark, you're taking us to some empty lot in the suburbs to feed wolves?"
Zong Jin responded seriously, "There are no wolves in the city, just stray dogs and insects at most. I'll protect you; don't be afraid."
Dao Wen stifled a laugh.
Tong Le, sitting in the back seat, couldn't hold it in any longer and burst out laughing.
Zong Jin frowned. "Is it that funny? Where's the joke?"
Tong Le pressed her lips together.
Beside them, Zong Zeyu said, "Just focus on driving; you sitting there is already hilarious."
Zong Jin relaxed. "Fine, as long as you’re happy. After all, I'm not good at humor."
Tong Le replied, "Your lack of humor is your greatest humor."
Zong Jin pondered Tong Le's words when Zong Zeyu suddenly interrupted. "Bro, why don't you take Dao Wen with you? My fiancée needs to rest; just drop us off by the roadside."
Tong Le shot Zong Zeyu a glare, signaling him to watch his words.
Zong Zeyu quickly corrected himself. "My soon-to-be ex-fiancée needs to rest."
Zong Jin firmly refused. "No way; we’re all going together."
After about half an hour of driving, Tong Le fell asleep in the car. The four of them arrived at the empty lot, which was pitch black and nothing could be seen.
Zong Jin excitedly stood atop a high mound of dirt, gesturing grandly as he spoke about planning to build a factory here and an office building there, discussing how things should be arranged.
Dao Wen stood at the base of the mound, silently watching Zong Jin.
Tong Le leaned closer to Dao Wen and whispered, "Isn't this exactly the sense of stability you've been wanting? I believe that life is fair; not everyone you meet early on is necessarily the best for you. After experiencing so much, there will always be a gift meant just for you."
Dao Wen smiled, even though the gift was a bit eccentric.
The next morning, Jin Feng arrived at Zong Group by seven o'clock. Even before work hours began, she was waiting outside the main entrance. Today, Jin Feng was dressed appropriately, her hair neatly styled; she thought that since she was applying to Grand Master, she had to pay special attention to her attire.
While waiting, she struck up a conversation with the security guard in the lobby. Since they both came from rural backgrounds, they quickly found common ground and chatted easily. When the time came, the security guard personally led Jin Feng to the office of the HR manager.
Upon meeting the HR manager, Jin Feng was particularly polite and cautious with her words, complimenting her repeatedly and maintaining a constant smile on her face. The HR manager was equally courteous, saying, "You don’t need to be so formal. You’re a friend of Zong Zong and Miss Tong. I’ll expedite your process here. If you have any issues at work in the future, just come to me. If you need to change positions or have other requests later on, feel free to reach out."
Jin Feng nodded appreciatively and expressed her gratitude. The HR manager continued, "Zong Zong mentioned that you want to apply for a two-bedroom employee apartment, right?"
Jin Feng nodded vigorously.
The HR manager replied, "No problem. In a moment, you can choose your unit and floor; you can move in today."
Jin Feng selected a standard floor; she didn’t want anything special—her greatest wish was simply to work steadily at Zong Group until the day she could no longer do so.
