Rebirth! The Assassin's Revenge-Chapter 295: Heartache

Half an hour later, Hua Ningcan walked out of Ling Tianyou’s office.

A few trusted subordinates immediately gathered around and quietly asked, "Manager, what did the President say?"

Hua Ningcan looked at them and said, "Let’s put this matter aside for now, there’s no need to worry about it. The President has his own plans!"

She initially thought Ling Tianyou would want to cooperate with the Lin Family head, but before she could persuade him, Ling Tianyou had already dismissed the idea.

Indeed! With so many branches in the Lin Family, choosing one and slowly digging deeper is not a bad method!

But this path is going to be quite a journey! 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

Seeing their boss’s uncertain look, the trusted subordinates were a bit confused by her vague response, but their years of trust prevented them from asking more.

While walking back with a few others, Hua Ningcan couldn’t help but glance back at Ling Tianyou’s office.

She was sure Ling Tianyou didn’t make this decision on a whim, but had been planning it for a while.

Just when did this all start?

A thought crossed Hua Ningcan’s mind, startling her greatly.

No way! Could Ling Tianyou be doing this for a woman?

If that’s true, then Gu Ningyue is way too lucky.

For someone like Ling Tianyou, who’s so dedicated to his career, to give up such a big deal for her!

This is rarer than winning five million in the lottery, more like a meteorite landing on Earth!

Thinking this, Hua Ningcan almost couldn’t resist texting Gu Ningyue to see if she knew.

But fortunately, reason prevailed over emotion, and she didn’t send a single word to Gu Ningyue.

Because of Hua Ningcan’s visit, Ling Tianyou’s initial intention to leave early subsided.

After pondering for a while, he called Lin Cheng: "Are you free today? Could you come to my company for a bit?"

Lin Cheng laughed, "Wow, President Ling finally remembers me amidst your busy schedule? Not today, I’m out fishing!"

Ling Tianyou had been out of touch for a while, seemingly vanished, and Lin Cheng didn’t know what he was busy with.

He had plenty of friends, so he was naturally not bored.

This morning, he had already gone out fishing with his gear.

"I have something serious to discuss with you, business-related," Ling Tianyou said.

Lin Cheng was taken aback, "Did I hear you right? Brother Tianyou, you talking about business with me? Are you kidding, even my dad doesn’t discuss that stuff with me."

Lin Cheng hadn’t expected Ling Tianyou’s call to be about this, thinking of himself as a leisurely young master without business acumen.

Ling Tianyou chuckled lightly, "I’m giving you a chance, don’t regret it later."

Upon hearing this, Lin Cheng’s hand shook, almost dropping his fishing rod: "Brother Tianyou, what business are you talking about?"

Seeing the fish take the bait, Ling Tianyou said, "Within fifteen minutes, come to my office, won’t wait any longer!"

Discussing business with Lin Cheng hopefully wouldn’t take long, definitely shorter than meetings with those old-school folks!

Fifteen minutes later, Lin Cheng hurriedly appeared before Ling Tianyou: "Brother Tianyou, what business is so urgent?"

Ling Tianyou told him to sit first, then poured him a glass of water, placing it in his hand: "No rush, let’s talk slowly..."

Lin Cheng was from a branch of the Lin Family, their wealth only ensured that this generation was free from worries.

Leaving something for the next generation — that was challenging.

Perhaps because Lin Cheng’s parents let him run wild growing up, paired with their own limited business knowledge, they considered profit-making a success.

To Lin Cheng, it was just boring work!

In reality, finding a job at the Ling Family seemed a quicker earn.

Ling Tianyou ended up discussing with Lin Cheng until night fell.

By the end, even the generally uninterested Lin Cheng was quite pumped up: "Rest assured, Brother Tianyou, as long as I’m here, I can’t guarantee how much I’ll earn, but I won’t bankrupt us!"

Ling Tianyou: "..." So be it, having Lin Cheng, who dislikes business, with this attitude is already good.

As for doing business, he’d find someone else to teach him.

Watching Lin Cheng leave in a hurry, Ling Tianyou glanced at the starlit sky outside, a gentle smile curling at his mouth, "Tonight, the view is quite nice!"

Finally arriving at Gu Ningyue’s place, the blaring music reached him even before entering.

Not only that, all the lights in the villa were on, making it dazzling from outside, like a grand party.

Ling Tianyou’s heart tightened. Of course, leaving her alone at home, she’d feel afraid!

Damn, he overlooked that.

"Ning Yue, open the door!"

After knocking several times, the music inside drowned it out.

Ling Tianyou had no choice but to call Gu Ningyue.

Thankfully, she answered quickly, albeit sounding a bit nervous: "You’re back?"

Ling Tianyou could only smile wryly: "Yes, open up!"

A minute later, the door opened, and Gu Ningyue appeared in her pajamas.

Her wavy hair cascaded down her back, her exquisite beauty like a delicate doll under the silk robe.

Her slightly pale face, paired with an expression that seemed on the verge of tears, took Ling Tianyou’s breath away, making him want to wrap her in his embrace immediately.

Yet, recalling the long scar on her waist, he restrained his urge, gently ruffling her hair, "Weren’t you afraid? Why didn’t you call me?"

Gu Ningyue complained, "I didn’t know until what time your meeting would go, I was afraid of disturbing you!"

After all, board meetings in TV dramas differ from reality.

Ling Tianyou felt a pang of heartache, took her hand, and asked, "Did you change your dressing today? Want to eat something? I can take you out."

Gu Ningyue replied, "I did, there’s nothing I particularly want, let’s stay at home! I’ll cook for you."

It’s so dark outside, too dangerous!!! What if there are monsters or ghosts!!!

Seeing Gu Ningyue’s evasive gaze, Ling Tianyou couldn’t help but laugh aloud, "Let’s order takeout! I know a place nearby that’s pretty good; it shouldn’t take long."

Gu Ningyue hesitated for a moment, probably feeling reassured by Ling Tianyou’s return, losing attention to the movie’s plot.

"Okay. Let’s order takeout then!"
