I immediately arranged a private tea gathering at my home, in the quaint tea room filled with antique charm. There was no extravagant setup, just the finest Wuyi Mountain Da Hong Pao and the tea I brewed myself, illuminated by the delicate foam created with my Yao Bian Tianmu Lamp.
Mr. Smith was indeed deeply fascinated by the art of tea. Upon seeing the Yao Bian Tianmu Lamp, his eyes lit up, and he engaged me in conversation for an entire afternoon, discussing everything from tea classics to tea utensils, enjoying our exchange immensely.
As he was about to leave, he seemed to remember the business at hand and smiled as he asked, "Miss Lin, I hear your company is quite interested in our Noah's Ark project?"
I smiled slightly. "I have always been interested in valuable collaborations."
"Excellent." Mr. Smith extended his hand. "I believe we need not consider anyone else. Let our teams discuss the details of the partnership."
It was done!
A few days later, news broke that the Lin Family Group had officially signed with Noah's Ark, shocking the entire business community. When Gu Chen heard the news, it was said that he smashed things in his office and spat out a mouthful of blood in anger. He had spent months preparing for this opportunity, only to have it snatched away from him so effortlessly.
Gu Chen, this is just the beginning; take your time and don’t rush.
With the signing of the Noah's Ark project, my position in the company was firmly established. The board members who had previously wavered now looked at me with respect and awe. My uncle Lin Jianshan had completely retreated into his shell, no longer daring to make any bold moves. Meanwhile, Gu Chen was in a dire situation; it was rumored that his funding chain had encountered serious problems, and he was desperately seeking help.
In good spirits, I decided to take a short break and visit an art gallery to unwind. However, at the entrance of the gallery, I unexpectedly ran into a familiar face—more accurately, someone I had known in my past life but was meeting for the first time in this one.
Pei Jin.
The heir of the Peking Pei Family, a true top-tier heir of a wealthy family who operated discreetly but wielded ruthless tactics; he was a legendary figure in the business world. In my previous life, I had little interaction with him and had only seen him from afar at a few high-profile banquets. My impression of him was striking: handsome, incredibly so, with an aura so powerful that it made people hesitant to approach.
What was he doing here?
Pei Jin seemed equally surprised to see me; he paused for a moment, his gaze lingering on me with curiosity.
"Miss Lin?" He spoke first, his voice deep like that of a cello.
"Mr. Pei." I nodded slightly while maintaining my distance. It was best to avoid provoking someone like him.
"Are you here to see the paintings?" he asked.
"Yes." I prepared to walk past him into the gallery.
"How coincidental, so am I," he said, naturally walking alongside me into the gallery.
I thought, "... Aren't you supposed to be busy? How do you have time for this?"
The gallery was quiet. We walked in front of each other, looking at the paintings without saying a word.
The atmosphere felt a bit delicate.
I stopped in front of an abstract painting. The colors were bold, and the lines chaotic, yet it strangely captivated me.
"Do you understand it?" Pei Jin's voice came from beside me.
I shook my head, "I don't get it. But it feels... quite free."
He chuckled softly, "Free? The cost is usually not small."
Indeed, I had lived that truth in my past life.
"The Lin family has been quite active lately," he suddenly changed the subject. "The Noah's Ark project that Gu Chen prepared for so long was snatched by you; he must be having a tough time now."
I raised an eyebrow and looked at him, "Mr. Pei is interested in gossip about our small company?"
"Not exactly interest," he said, gazing at the painting with a calm tone. "It's just that the Gu family wants to collaborate with the Pei family on a chip project, and Gu Chen's antics are getting a bit annoying."
I understood. This was a hint from a big shot that Gu Chen was in his way.
"Thank you for the reminder, Mr. Pei," I said sincerely. The Gu family wanting to cling to the Pei family? Ha, what a pipe dream.
"Not really a reminder," Pei Jin turned his head and looked at me with deep eyes. "I just think that promising newcomers deserve some... attention."
Was he trying to be friendly or testing me?
A player of his caliber had thoughts too intricate for me to decipher.
"It’s an honor for the Lin family to receive Mr. Pei's attention," I laughed lightly.
He didn't say anything further; before leaving the gallery, he handed me a business card.
It was pure black, with only a name and a private number printed on it.
"If you need anything, feel free to call me," he said as he turned and walked away.
I held the exquisite business card in my hand, lost in thought.
Pei Jin… Should I cling to this golden opportunity? Or should I embrace it?
Forget it, I'll keep it for now. The more friends I have, the more paths I can take, especially when it’s such a significant one.
