Chapter 392: Chapter 392 Did He Really Respond?


    Indeed, Director Lin’s action of receiving the business card and even mentioning to contactter seemed like a normal, courteous response.


    I actually didn’t hold much hope.


    But Jian Jing was very enthusiastic.


    “I feel Director Lin will definitely contact you. He seemed very interested in our products,” she said.


    Compared to Jian Jing’s enthusiasm, Shen Yishu appeared much calmer. He seemed to realize we weren’t likely to seed.


    “Shen Yishu, tell us what you think. Do you think Director Lin will contact us?”


    Shen Yishu sighed,


    “How about this, I’ll treat you to a meal! At this time, take a look and see what you’d like to eat?”


    “Hey, Shen Yishu, what do you mean by that? Are you looking down on us? You’re talking about Jiang Jiaying, that she took a back door, right? But in sales, it’s the product quality that matters. Their products are not as good as ours. Director Lin has been in business for so many years; can’t he see there’s a problem?”


    “Her main advantage is the connections. But I guess Tianjiao’s products can’t be that bad, can they?”<div>


    The two were discussing as they walked out of the business hotel.


    They happened to bump into each other again.


    Since parking lots are underground, encounters are inevitable.


    Only Ding Yinuo was standing there, d in a light grey trench coat. He looked at me, his eyes faintly conveying a sense of distance.


    Against the backdrop of the night, his entire persona seemed especially shadowy, alien.


    He looked at me as if he had something to say…


    I looked at him, he looked at me, just a few steps apart.


    At that moment, Shen Yishu had gone to fetch his car, and Jian Jing was on the phone, not noticing Ding Yinuo and me eyeing each other from the shadows.


    Suddenly, he began walking towards me, and it looked like he was about to approach me.


    From behind him came a charming voice,


    “Yinuo, I’m over here!”


    “Yinuo, let’s get in the car. Everything’s arranged. My dad is meeting with them for a little drinkter, and you can hand over the materials then. This deal could be sealed.”


    Jiang Jiaying stepped forward and affectionately linked her arm with his.


    “Oh, I mistook someone for you earlier. Let’s go.”


    Ding Yinuo turned away with Jiang Jiaying. I finally came to my senses, realizing he hadn’t been about to speak to me but had mistaken me for Jiang Jiaying.


    It seems I really was overthinking it.


    Soon, Ding Yinuo and Jiang Jiaying’s figures disappeared from my view.


    Shen Yishu had also parked his car next to me and poked his head out of the window to greet me, “Get in!”


    “Oh!”<div>


    I opened the car door and got in.


    Jian Jing was already inside. “Were you just talking to Ding Yinuo?”


    “It’s nothing. He just mistook me for someone else!”


    “Gosh, I always thought I couldn’t mistake people, but it turns out I’ve been overturned by him, that scumbag.”<div>


    Jian Jing really couldn’t hold back andshed out at Ding Yinuo inside the car.


    Then she suddenly changed the subject,


    “Shen Yishu, you’ve been calling him Director Lin all this time. What’s his real name anyway?”


    “Seems like it’s Lin Nansheng. It’s quite a literary name.”


    “Lin Nansheng?”


    I repeated it again.


    Shen Yishu nodded,


    “What, do you know him?”


    “I don’t recognize the person, but I’ve seen the name before!”


    “Oh, where have you seen it?”


    Yishu was driving the car and casually striking up a conversation with me.


    “Let me think! Oh, I remember now, there used to be a piece of silk embroidery in my room with the three characters Lin Nansheng on it. I asked my aunt, and she said it was a relic from my mother, but she didn’t recognize the name and didn’t know who it was.”


    Actually, my mother’s relics were all handled by my uncle.<div>


    Most of the stuff has disappeared.


    Only a few items were kept and treasured by my aunt.


    Therefore, I don’t know much about my mother’s past.


    I’m also not very clear about the people she knew.


    “Your mom was so talented, she even knew embroidery?” Jian Jing was intrigued.


    “Actually, the Song Family used to be quite something. Ancestors in the Song Family held high-ranking positions, and it wasn’t until my great-grandfather’s generation that the family started to decline. However, even though we declined, the family traditions persisted. My mom was quite thedy, skilled in reading, writing, painting, pretty much everything. It’s just that the era back then was more conservative…”


    “Ayun, can I ask something? Didn’t your mom reveal anything about your dad?”


    “No!”


    “What about your aunt? She didn’t say a single word?”


    “She just said that my father was married, and that their rtionship was adulterous, morally uneptable. At that time, my uncle was vehemently against it and forcefully took my mom back because premarital pregnancy was very shameful back then. Plus, the man already had a family. My uncle probably didn’t want my mom ruining the Song Family’s reputation.”


    “Sigh, no matter what, that’s all in the past now, and you’re an adult. Your uncle should tell you about your birth father, whether or not to search for him is up to you.”


    “As for Song Shixiong, if he were a normal person, he would have definitely told me. But he had his own motives. I heard that back then, to appease the man’s family, he extorted arge sum of money from them. To prevent the scandal froming to light, he probably doesn’t dare to say anything. Forget it, I’m not counting on it, after all, I’m grown up now, not a child, and I don’t have any longing for a father.”


    “Exactly! When you needed fatherly love the most, he wasn’t there for you. You certainly don’t need it now.”<div>


    Half an hourter, Yishu’s car stopped in front of a restaurant, but before getting out, Jian Jing’s mobile phone started ringing.


    After answering the call, Jian Jing was so excited she could jump for joy.


    “Ayun, there’s hope!”


    “What’s going on?”


    “Do you know who just called me?”


    “Your husband?”


    “No, no, of course not, it was Director Lin…”


    “Hm?”


    “He said, tonight at ten, to bring thepany’s product information and contract to Meiyuan International Hotel, room 88, and wait for him there.”


    As soon as Yishu heard this, he immediately objected,


    “You can’t go! I mean, business negotiations should definitely be done in public ces. It’s very unsafe to go to a hotel in the middle of the night. My advice is to say you’re busy tonight, and it’s better to go tomorrow.”


    Jian Jing agreed after listening,


    “Yes, why did he only invite you? It’s so strange! I also think tomorrow would be better. But I’ve already agreed, what should I do?”<div>


    After a moment of thought, I said, “Let’s do it tonight! To avoid any furtherplications, the sooner we sign the contract, the better.”


    My main issue is that I can’t stand Jiang Jiaying’s mboyant personality, as if the whole world should amodate her.


    “Then I’ll apany you!”


    Yishu volunteered.


    “I’ll go too!” Jian Jing was not to be outdone.


    In the end, I rejected both of them,


    “No need, I’ll go by myself. Yishu, you can just drop me off at Meiyuan International Hotelter, I’ll handle the rest.”
