Chapter 137: The Old Matriarch Pays a Personal Visit to the Sea of Clouds Chamber of Commerce

The next day, at the Yunhai Chamber of Commerce.

Zhao Shanhe and his daughter arrived early to report for duty. Shen Wanjun, as the president, personally greeted them, extending a warm welcome. Within half an hour, their positions were settled: Zhao Shanhe was appointed as vice president, while Zhao Qing joined the business department as an assistant to the vice general manager.

As for the position of vice general manager, it was naturally held by Su Rulan.

Su Rulan had already arrived at the office early to begin her new responsibilities. Seeing Zhao Qing push open the door and enter, she stood up, her face beaming with delight. She pulled Zhao Qing over to the sofa, sat down with her, and asked with a smile, "Zhao Qing, have all the positions been arranged?"

"President Shen has been very thorough; all our onboarding procedures are complete," Zhao Qing replied with a nod, though she appeared somewhat distracted.

Noticing this, Su Rulan asked in surprise, "You should be happy about this, so why do you look so troubled?"

Seeing her concern, Zhao Qing recounted the events of the previous day. Upon hearing the details of such outrageous behavior, Su Rulan was stunned, her face turning pale with anger. She couldn't help but curse, "What kind of world is this? How can such people still exist?"

"Lin Kaiyang has deep connections and acts without regard for consequences. He is used to being a tyrant, so over time, he has become completely lawless. No matter how big the trouble he causes, there is always someone there to clean up his mess. That scumbag has never been afraid of anyone," Zhao Qing said, looking deeply troubled. Although she didn't know the current state of Lin Kaiyang, she could anticipate that he would not let the matter rest and would likely continue to harass her to vent the frustration he felt yesterday.

Su Rulan’s expression darkened. She said gravely, "I’ll talk to Tianlin later and have him arrange something so that Lin Kaiyang doesn't keep pestering you endlessly."

Zhao Qing quickly raised her hand to stop her, shaking her head. "No need. It's such a trivial matter; I wouldn't want to bother the Young Master with it. I'll find another way myself. After all, I’m already very grateful to have been able to join the Yunhai Chamber of Commerce!"

Before Su Rulan could insist, Zhao Qing shifted the subject. Her eyes suddenly lit up as she said, "That person who intervened to save me yesterday was truly incredible. It couldn't have even been ten seconds before he had Lin Kaiyang pinned to the ground—and you have to remember, that guy is nearly two meters tall!"

"Right, right! I almost forgot because you didn't mention it. Who is he? Did you ask for his name or where he lives? We really should thank him properly someday," Su Rulan realized.

At this, Zhao Qing looked a bit dejected and sighed. "I don't know who he is. I only remember that he drove into the Bishuiwan villa complex; he probably isn't a resident there."

"If that's the case, it won't be easy to find him," Su Rulan said, frowning slightly, thinking that if he hadn't been passing by, Zhao Qing would likely have been in serious trouble.

Zhao Qing slumped on the sofa, feeling helpless. "This whole thing has left me unable to sleep well; I spent the entire night thinking about it. If I run into him again, I definitely won't let him get away so easily!"

Su Rulan smirked. "Hahaha, don't tell me you've fallen for him?"

"I have not! I just... I just have a bit of a good impression of him, that's all," Zhao Qing retorted, her eyes widening as she straightened her back, pouting with a hint of pride.

Su Rulan laughed, "Oh my, who would have thought that the usually efficient and decisive Miss Zhao could be so coy? And you won't even admit it!"

Zhao Qing turned beet red and quickly stuck out her tongue. "Alright, alright, stop teasing me. It's questionable whether we'll ever meet again anyway. Right now, I'm curious: has the Young Master come to the Yunhai Chamber of Commerce today?"

"Tianlin didn't come; he’s at the hospital looking after my mother. My father stayed there all last night, so now it’s Tianlin's turn. I doubt he'll be able to make it here for a while," Su Rulan explained.

"Great, I get it now. It seems I’m destined never to meet the Young Master. My tiny bit of curiosity will never be satisfied," Zhao Qing grumbled, feeling that everything was just such a coincidence.

"What is there to be so curious about?" Su Rulan asked, unable to grasp it.

Zhao Qing looked at her with pure admiration. "The Young Master is such a remarkable figure. Through his own means, he broke away from the Ye family, single-handedly founded the Shangjing Group, and even managed to run the Old Matriarch in circles. Everyone has met him except for me. Don't you think I'd be curious?"

"That's true, but there will be plenty of opportunities in the future. It's only a matter of time!" Su Rulan felt a surge of pride; this was the first time she had heard such high praise for Ye Tianlin from someone else's lips.

Zhao Qing grew excited, as if she were dying to pour out all her admiration and envy at once. However, before she could continue, the office door was pushed open.

Zhao Shanhe entered with a solemn expression and signaled to them, "The Old Matriarch has personally arrived at the Yunhai Chamber of Commerce. Hurry, follow me to President Shen's office!"
