"Then come out, I'll wait for you downstairs. "
Until Su Huai hung up the phone, Lin Jia was still in a daze.
She went out? It was so late. . .
Today seemed to be the first day that Su Huai officially upgraded to her boyfriend, and it would end in an hour! When she saw him at this time, she suddenly had an inexplicable feeling in her heart. Although she couldn't describe it clearly, she just felt that it was strange.
She took out a long dress from the closet and casually took out a jacket to put on. Then, she quietly walked out of the house.
The call had clearly just ended, but Su Huai was actually already waiting in the night wind. When he saw her, he couldn't conceal his smile and satisfaction, "It's still more suitable for you like this. "
His entire body revealed an indescribable gentleness.
Even his eyes hid a hint of a smile.
His eyes were filled with admiration.
"I just want to have a simple chat. It can be said clearly over the phone. Why do I have to make a special trip? You've been tired for the whole day. " Lin Jia cleared her throat. Oh no, For some reason, when she saw Su Huai, she always felt her face burn, and her entire person was slightly uncomfortable.
"I want to see you. " Su Huai stretched his hand before her and waited patiently.
When Lin Jia naturally passed her hand to him, he smiled very happily. "How is it? Are you very tired today? Zhou Siyu told me that you have been looking at those documents. Everyone has already gotten off work, and only you are still in the company. "
"If you don't have a lot of work to do, you'll finish reading all of them in one go. Otherwise, you'll keep thinking about it and feel like you haven't done anything. "
The two of them walked quietly along the neighborhood's shady road.
It was already late at night, and there was no one there.
They were in a good mood. Although they agreed to meet to talk about work, no one was in a hurry to get to the point. They were very tacitly enjoying the rare leisure time.
Walking all the way to the vicinity of Su Huai's car, Lin Jia looked at the Maserati that was quietly parked there, and a trace of a complicated expression gradually surfaced in her eyes.
"Have all the matters in your family been resolved?"
Su Huai shook his head. "The matter is a little complicated. I still need more time to settle it properly, but I've always been working hard. "
He didn't mention what exactly was going on, and only used simple words to bring it over.
Lin Jia shifted her gaze away from the car. "Come and talk about work, right?"
"Yeah, talk about work. "
He opened the car door and let her in.
Lin Jia didn't think too much.
Only after he started the car did she know that he didn't just want to sit in the car and chat.
"Where are you going?" It was late. Most of the shops outside were closed. It was not easy to find a place to talk.
"My home. " Su Huai glanced at her, and the smile in his eyes became even more exuberant.
"Why did you go to your home?" Lin Jia remembered that she had never agreed to this matter.
"It's not convenient for your friends to live in your house. No one else will not be disturbed over there. " Therefore, it was more appropriate to go to his place.
It was still very cold in this season.
However, in the car without the air conditioner, the temperature had been rising uncontrollably in a straight line. Wearing only a thin jacket, she could clearly feel her skin heating up.
"What are you worried about?" He could see that she was uncomfortable.
"I'm worried that I'll disturb my friend's rest at the party. " She randomly found a reason.
"If it's too late, then don't go back. " He deliberately gave her a mischievous smile, his peach blossom eyes full of mischief.
Lin Jia was not fooled, "I sleep on the bed, you sleep on the floor?"
"Cruel. The double bed is so big, but you let me sleep on the floor. " He sighed sadly, feeling sorry for himself.
"If you don't like the floor, then sleep on the sofa? But I saw it this morning. Your sofa might not be comfortable if you sleep on it. " Lin Jia said sympathetically.
"Why are you paying attention to my sofa? What's wrong with holding it in?" Su Huai asked teasingly.
"What else?" Lin Jia raised her brows high.
"Let's go up first. " Su Huai pointed to the front. It turned out that his family had arrived.
When they left this place in the morning, Su Huai was chatting idly with her, and she didn't pay too much attention to the surrounding environment.
When he returned here in the middle of the night, Lin Jia was speechless to discover that the place he lived at was actually only two streets away from the residential area of Jade Forest Road, and the distance in a straight line wasn't more than a thousand meters. No wonder he had already appeared below her house in less than ten minutes after hanging up the phone.
At that time, he had actually not moved far away during the night.
Su Huai exchanged a glance with her and guessed what she wanted to say. He could not help but smile. "When you're angry, you decide to move out, but when you really leave, you don't think too far away. If you live here, I drive by your residential area every day when I come and go, and occasionally I see you hurriedly walking to the subway station. "
"At that time, weren't you angry?" Lin Jia rolled her eyes. He glanced at her and said, "When you're angry, you can still be rational. Then you're not really angry! "
However, it was just a hypocritical situation. He would wait for her to compromise, and then wait for her to coax him.
Judging from the series of actions that followed afterwards, Su Huai was indeed being hypocritical.
Hypocritism was a illness, and it wasn't a woman's patent. When men were being pretentious occasionally, the destructive force was rather shocking as well.
"It's been a while, I can't remember very clearly. " Su Huai said perfunctorily.
The car stopped and the two of them walked home.
During this period of time, they briefly talked about the company's plan, and Su Huai spoke very meticulously and thoroughly. Surrounding the traditional embroidery and modern business model, He tried to find a path that could be developed from within. Granny Lin Jia's greatest expectation was to open an embroidery workshop and pass down her unique skills that she had researched for many years. If the company did well, it would be the same as indirectly fulfilling her grandmother's wish. It would also achieve Lin Jia's career, killing many birds with one stone.
It could be seen that the company did not come up with this idea at the last minute.
Su Huai was very reasonable, and he considered all aspects very carefully.
After chatting for a while, a satisfied smile appeared on Lin Jia's face. It had only been a dozen or so hours, and she already felt that this matter still had a lot of room to maneuver. It just so happened that she had nothing to do by her side when she resigned and stayed at home. If she had plans to give it a try, she would communicate with Su Huai many times.
Working hand in hand with the man she liked and doing some meaningful things together was even more interesting than being pure, sweet, and intimate.
A girl stood at the entrance to Su Huai's house. She had long hair that hung loosely over her shoulders and a short skirt, and her handsome knee-length leather boots outlined the slender curves of her thighs, and she could already smell the thick scent of alcohol from afar. Her body was swaying unsteadily, and she had to lean against the wall in order to barely maintain her balance.
When she saw Su Huai, the girl immediately had a smile on her face. "Young Master Su! So you're really not home! I smashed the door with all my strength earlier, but I couldn't break it open no matter what!"
Lin Jia looked at Su Huai with astonishment, and she noticed that Su Huai's expression had already sunk in an instant.
Only now did the girl discover Lin Jia's existence. She chuckled even louder, and used the finger that was smeared with a large red fingernail. She tapped on Lin Jia, then on Su Huai, and even let out a drawn-out sound from her mouth. "Oh. . . I brought a girl home but was caught by my fiancée on the spot. Young Master Su. . . You're finished. "
That girl drank an unknown amount. Her tongue was starting to get stiff. However, the words "fiancée" were very precise and Lin Jia could hear it clearly.
She looked at Su Huai with a puzzled expression, and Su Huai's expression was already completely cold. "Don't listen to her nonsense. I've already canceled the engagement with her a long time ago!"
"The annulment of the engagement is something that you're talking about alone, and I didn't agree to it. Your parents and my parents didn't agree as well, and it doesn't count. " The girl closed her eyes and smiled proudly, "Hurry up and open the door, I'm going in to sleep. I'm so tired, my head feels dizzy. . . "
She beckoned at Su Huai with her finger.
"I won't disturb you any longer. " Lin Jia instantly felt that she was being superfluous. She retreated two or three steps, and when Su Huai stretched out his hand and was about to grab her arm, she fiercely flung it away, and her gaze was suffused with ridicule. "Don't touch me!"
"Hahaha, angry, angry. . . " The girl was still laughing, and she threw away the bag in her hand and clapped happily.
"Lin Jia, I will explain it to you clearly. Don't leave. "
Su Huai was busy stopping her, and the girl swayed her unsteady body as she walked over. When she arrived in front of Su Huai, she very straightforwardly pounced like a bear. "I'll leave myself to you!"
Lin Jia retreated far away, and Su Huai subconsciously caught her.
But practically in the instant he entered his embrace, he let go of her and turned to chase after Lin Jia who had already left with quick steps.
A girl's painful cry came from behind, and she shouted in pain. " Young Master Su, are you a man or not?"
The instant Lin Jia rushed into the elevator, Su Huai had already rushed to her side and prevented the elevator door from closing.
"Her name is Feng Shuiting. She is the fiancée that my family decided on for me when I was twenty years old. I didn't contact her at all during the few years I was abroad. After returning to the country, the Su family went bankrupt. Feng Shuiting came to me and told me that she has someone she likes. She wanted to cancel the engagement. That night, she drove a sports car to pick me up. You saw it on the roadside. Do you remember now? It was a few months ago. "
Su Huai's forehead was covered in fine cold sweat.
He spoke extremely quickly, fearing that he wouldn't be able to explain this matter clearly if he spoke less.
Lin Jia's impression of that night was very deep, and she recalled it as soon as Su Huai reminded her.
"Those words she said earlier don't seem to be saying that the engagement has already been annulled!" Lin Jia felt inexplicably irritated in the bottom of her heart. She'd always felt that she had a very carefree and unrestrained character, and she'd never thought too much about everything.
However, in that instant just now, she clearly felt a violent emotion spreading from the bottom of her heart.
That feeling was very bad. She felt that if she did not leave now, she would not be able to control herself and would do something inappropriate.
She never expected that Su Huai would catch up and say those words.
For a time, she looked at him and didn't know what kind of judgment to make.
"It doesn't matter if it's cancelled or not. I've never acknowledged the existence of the engagement. It was originally my parents who made the decision for me on behalf of the Su family. Now, the Su family exists in name only. The engagement is naturally canceled. Even if it's not canceled, Feng Shuiting's family will feel that the current me is not worthy of her. " He paused. Su Huai continued, "Lin Jia, The person I like is you!"
Lin Jia's expression suddenly calmed down.
He came in front of her and grabbed her wrist. "There are many reasons why the Su family ended up like this: natural disasters, man-made disasters, internal problems, and external disasters. All of them erupted at the same time. The hard work that the two generations had accumulated over the past thirty years was destroyed just like that. During my f * cking days at work, I've been investigating what happened before the Su family's accident. As the truth gradually surfaced, The Su family also had a chance of survival. Other than me, there are also many people working together. Recently, I've received a few good news in succession. It makes everyone even more determined to believe that the Su family might really be saved. Feng Shui Ting has already cut off contact with me for more than five months. At this time, she suddenly came looking for me. She must have received some precise information. That's why she came here to try and salvage the situation! "
The elevator continued to descend. She didn't pursue the matter nor did she stop it, and just listened quietly like that, completely unable to do anything about it.
"In the past, I didn't care about anyone in my heart even if I didn't like them. If my family wants to make arrangements, then make arrangements. As long as she doesn't appear in my life and disturb me from doing things I like to do. I don't care about having another so-called fiancée. Perhaps the Su family wants to try to use the so-called marriage relationship to mutually benefit each other. In exchange for more resources and connections that can be used. " He tightened his fingers and grabbed Lin Jia harder, as if this was the only way to relieve the fear that might disappear in his heart. "These are all things that have never happened to you before! And I can swear that Feng Shuiting and I have never even held hands before. There is nothing else besides a nominal relationship. "
Upon hearing this, Lin Jia let out a long sigh. "Can I still believe what you just said?"
"The existence is the existence, the absence is the absence. If I have done something, I dare to do it. But if I hadn't done it before, I wouldn't have taken responsibility for it! "
"Hmm, she seems to have drunk too much. She is guarding your door and refuses to leave. What if something happens?" The problem that Lin Jia thought of was quite realistic.
"I'll call her family and ask them to come and pick her up. " After saying that, Su Huai immediately took out his phone and dialed a number.
The process of the call could not be called gentle. What he used was the words "must be taken away" and "no discussion," as well as the words "take responsibility for the consequences. No matter what the person on the other end of the phone said, Su Huai's tone was all unyielding without discussion, and it indirectly verified what he said. He merely had a relationship of interest with Feng Shuiting and her clan, but they had never interacted with each other in terms of feelings.
The elevator opened, and Lin Jia's tone returned to normal. She asked with some worry, "I can't go to my house. I can't go to your house either. It's so late now. If we can't find a place to rest, what should we do? "
"Go to the hotel and get a room?" Su Huai's suggestion was directly interrupted by Lin Jia's cold gaze.
He lightly coughed twice, "What I mean is that we should get a room and talk about proper business first. We'll come back to rest after Feng Shuiting is taken away. "
"What's the difference?" Lin Jia asked grumpily.
"What's the difference?" For a moment, Su Huai didn't understand what she meant. "Isn't this a good way to perfect both worlds? Nothing is delayed. "
"I have the company key on me. I'll go to the company and chat for an hour. I'll go back to my home. You go back to your home, that's all. " Lin Jia was also unable to figure out whether Su Huai had done it on purpose or if his brain hadn't even turned, and how ambiguous the proposal that he had just spoken of was.
Going to the hotel to get a room before returning home to rest, although the two scenes had changed, she was still getting along with him. Besides tossing and turning, there was utterly no fundamental change.
She was extremely uncomfortable, but he had an innocent look on his face as if she was making a big deal out of a molehill.
"Alright then, let's go to the company. " Although Su Huai was slightly unwilling, he did not express it.
When driving, Lin Jia finally asked that question that had been puzzled for a long time, "The Su family has already gone bankrupt, and you're still driving such a good car. No wonder He Cheng hates you to the bone. "
Su Huai smiled bitterly, "I also really want to have a normal car that isn't that conspicuous to ride. The problem is that a small portion of the Su family's property has been refunded by the court recently, and only three of them are cars. This one that I drive is the cheapest. "
So, did she accidentally find a rich second generation as her boyfriend?
Lin Jia secretly stole a glance at Su Huai. Although the clothes on his body matched his figure, he was also handsome and fit. However, it was obviously not a new style.
Thus, she silently corrected in her heart: A poor second generation rich kid.
When they came to the company, the content of their conversation no longer involved private matters. Instead, they focused on bringing up the overall operation plan of the new company.
Of course, the most important thing was the start-up funds.
Lin Jia's gaze landed on Su Huai as if it was a matter of course. The start-up plan was formulated by him. He was the one who found the office, and the recruitment of personnel was also done by him. He heard that Su Huai had even promised Luo Luoxue, Jun Beibei, and Zhou Siyu a generous salary. Then the matter of start-up funds, he should already know in his heart.
He never expected that Su Huai would actually lightly smile guiltily. "The start-up funds are at least 600,000. This sum of money. . . Hasn't been settled yet. "
Lin Jia simply didn't dare believe her ears. "What did you say? Say it again?"
Su Huai pursed his lips. "You didn't hear wrongly. But what I wanted to say was that this start-up capital actually has other methods. "
"You don't have money, so why would you dare to make such a good promise to Luo Luoxue and the others after renting such a large office? You. . . You still want to start a business? " When Lin Jia said these words, she kept stroking the hair hanging down from her forehead, using this action to ease her explosive mood.
"The office is borrowed from a friend, temporarily exempted for a year. But if the company can run well in a year, In addition to paying the rental fees, I also have to return the rental fees for this year at the market price, along with the interest. " Su Huai shrugged his shoulders. "Of course, if our company can't even sustain for a year. . . The rent will be completely waived. "
"A discount in exchange for favors. " Lin Jia understood.
"The initial stage of entrepreneurship is full of difficulties. Of course, we can't let go of benefits and convenience. " Su Huai shifted his gaze away rather uneasily.
He was somewhat worried that he would be taught a lesson by Lin Jia, but after waiting for a long time, he heard a soft voice by his ear: "Thank you for your hard work. "
She very rarely heard what kind of identity Su Huai had in the past was mentioned by him, but from how Lu Yuan and Big Elder Liu valued him, That sapphire blue Maserati, as well as the past that He Chengqian spoke of, it could be inferred. This way, he, who had everything since birth, had a natural sense of pride. To be able to put down his pride and work hard to push forward some things, it was a difficult obstacle for him to overcome.
Lin Jia had a similar feeling before, so she was able to understand Su Huai.
"Actually, it's nothing much. " After a long time, Su Huai replied and still pretended to be indifferent.
Without waiting for Lin Jia to say anything, he changed the topic. "As for start-up funds, I actually have an idea. But I need your permission. "
"You mean, the inheritance left behind by your grandfather?" Lin Jia instantly understood.
Su Huai nodded as expected. "I don't know how much money that card has. But it should be a big number. After all, he intends to use it to make an embroidery workshop for your grandmother, and my grandfather is a generous tycoon. So. . . I guess. . . There's at least an 80% chance that Cary's funds are enough to be used as the start-up funds for our company. "
"That money is for my grandmother, not me. I have no right to decide whether I can use it or not. However, since the person your grandfather plans to give away is no longer alive, then this money is equivalent to not being sent out and is still stored in the card. You are a member of the Su family, so logically speaking, you should have the right to inherit this inheritance, right? "
Only after Lin Jia finished analyzing did Su Huai shake his head as well and refute seriously.
"95% and above of the Su Clan's property will be listed on the sealed list. And the reason why the money in this card isn't frozen is because the person who opened that card was originally your grandmother's name. So. . . The only person who could use it was your grandmother's legal heir. In other words, You're the only one who can use that money. "
Lin Jia was stunned. "That works?"
"My grandfather was probably worried that some people from the Su family would have designs on this card. He was even more afraid that when he died, he would bring unimaginable troubles to your grandmother because of his good intentions. He might as well do his best and no one can change it for him. " Su Huai considered for a moment. In order to avoid unnecessary complications, he decided not to reveal the entirety of the contents of the will to Lin Jia.
"Lin Jia, when the money is placed in the bank account, it will always be a simple string of numbers. Only when it is truly used in a meaningful way can it be considered to have completed its true mission. I hope you can consider it carefully. In the future, our company's main project will also have a direct connection with China's handmade embroidery. Your grandmother's last wish will definitely be realized in another way. This is not only for the beautiful ending of the story between my family and your two old men, but also for the chance for you and me to continue our hope and struggle. If everything goes according to plan, There are more things that we can do. . . " Su Huai grabbed her hand, and his peach blossom eyes flickered with a firmness that he had never felt before. "Come on, let's do it together. Alright? "
"I. . . Really need to think about it. " Lin Jia's heart had obviously loosened up.
But she still felt that something was not right.
Perhaps it was just that she was unable to pass the hurdle in her heart.
She had to go back and chat with her grandmother. She did not know if she, who was in the sky, would agree to such a ridiculous decision.
The matter of start-up funds was temporarily put aside, and Su Huai and Lin Jia discussed the personnel arrangements within the company. Actually, only Zhou Siyu, Luo Luoxue, Jun Beibei, and Lin Jia would really have to come to the company to work all the time in the future. Su Huai actually didn't want to become an investor, partner, or a part of the company. He was pushing forward with all his might, but he didn't count himself in.
After the two of them finished chatting, It was already two o'clock in the morning.
Su Huai was unable to convince Lin Jia, so he could only send her home.
On the way, Su Huai suddenly recalled that the company's name hadn't been announced yet, so he smiled and asked for Lin Jia's opinion.
Lin Jia didn't decline and blurted out, "Embroidery, this name is a name Granny gave to the Embroidery Manor, and it's directly used to be the company's name. What do you think?"
Su Huai directly nodded. "I think it's very good. "
No one would have imagined that in the near future, the Embroidery Embroidery, which would become a black horse that led the way, would be hastily decided by the two of them in such an ordinary and quiet night.
Some of the choices related to the fate of a person's life were also easily made in a casual and natural manner.

---China Handmade Embroidery
A cultural signboard filled with a classical atmosphere was embedded on the pure white wall behind Zhou Siyu. Anyone who entered the company would be able to see it clearly.
Zhou Siyu liked the company's name very much. In order to complement the theme, she even specially customized several sets of cheongsam and matched them with suitable hairstyles and jewelry. Every time she saw herself in the mirror, she felt that it was a great decision to leave the f * cking world and come to this company.
Her good mood lasted until Lin Jiaqing came to work early in the morning. When she saw her qipao and pearl necklace, Lin Jia shook her head. "This dress is still a little lacking compared to your beauty. "
