In Every Life [Jenlisa]

Chapter 72

The autumn in Haishi was slightly cool, and in the evening, the sky turned a dark blue.

Jackson stood at the closed office door and knocked.

"Old Manoban, it's time to go. The dinner is at seven, we need to go early."

The man sitting at the desk had his hands clasped together, and there was a thin layer of sweat on his palms.

"I'm coming." He stood up, straightened his crisp suit, and then pulled the door open.

"Oh my god." Jackson widened his eyes and was shocked to the point of almost dropping his jaw. "What's going on with you? Why aren't you wearing glasses? And this suit, it looks like it just came out this quarter."

Lisa stood straight, obviously carefully groomed. He had shaved his beard and combed his hair meticulously. His usually cold face showed a hint of hidden nobility in the evening sunset.

He was wearing contact lenses for the first time and was not used to it. He felt like there was something foreign in his eyes and couldn't help but blink in pain.

Jackson noticed that he didn't respond and continued, "I suddenly feel like my outfit is too shabby. How about you wait for me and I'll tidy up a bit?"

Lisa pursed his lips and gave him a faint glance. "We're going to be late."

"Okay, okay." Jackson sighed helplessly. "Let's go then."

By the time they arrived at the venue, it was already dark outside.

The moonlight tonight was very gentle.

Lisa followed Jackson into the venue.

He had only recently taken office, and this banquet was a great opportunity to expand his social circle.

But none of that was as important as that person.

The banquet hall was brightly lit, and the chill of autumn seemed to be shut out. As Lisa turned around, his gaze pierced through the layers of people and slowly landed on that dim corner.

With just one glance, he recognized her.

The pain in his eyes seemed to intensify, causing his eyelashes to tremble and his throat to feel dry.

His shoulder was tapped, and only then did he snap out of his daze.

"Lisa, why didn't you come say hello when you arrived?" The man who approached him looked to be in his fifties, with hair that was mostly white, but his eyes were particularly bright, as if he could see right through people.

Before Lisa could speak, the man called out to someone next to him, "Kim Ruohai, come over here. This is the Lisa I told you about before, the CTO who just took office at Chuangyu a few days ago."

Lisa's breath caught in his throat, and he calmly wiped his palms before respectfully saying, "Hello, Chief Kim."

Kim Ruohai nodded. "Hello." He had heard about this promising young man from his old friend before, and now seeing him with clear eyes and a dignified appearance, he seemed like a good kid.

Thinking of his own daughter, Kim Ruohai's mind couldn't help but become active.

"Lisa, how old are you this year?"

Lisa paused for a moment before saying, "Twenty-four."

Beside him, Wang Yin quickly added, "He's about the same age as your daughter Jennie. They're both young people, why don't they get to know each other?"

Hearing that familiar yet unfamiliar name, Lisa felt his heart skip a beat.

The sweat that had just been wiped from his palms instantly reappeared.
