The next day, when Qian Duoduo left, she left something for Lin Xingzhu and then, without saying anything else, ran off.
Two days later, when Lin Xingzhu went out to dinner with some business partners, she saw Wen Lin at the banquet.
The two of them made brief eye contact before casually looking away.
The focus of the banquet wasn't her, nor was it Wen Lin, so throughout the meal, Lin Xingzhu simply ate when it was time to eat, drank when it was time to drink, and only spoke when it was necessary. The rest of the time, she allowed General Manager Jiang to take the lead in the conversation.
Wen Lin, seated across from her, did the same.
As the meal drew to a close, Lin Xingzhu noticed a slight, almost imperceptible impatience on Wen Lin's face.
They had just exchanged a glance, and aside from the necessary pleasantries, nothing else had been said.
After the meal, General Manager Jiang had to leave early for another matter, so Lin Xingzhu drove back to the company alone.
The events that had been unfolding recently made Lin Xingzhu realize that she wasn't just dealing with a simple confrontation between herself and Wen Lin; it was about the collaboration and competition between their two families.
Lin Xingzhu even suspected that there might be a third-party force involved.
Since her father had mentioned Wen Yuanyi to her, Lin Xingzhu had started paying attention to any news related to him, collecting more information about the upcoming leadership change. During their nightly video calls, she and Bai Xiying would discuss these matters, both coming to the conclusion that the real enemy in the Wen family's eyes wasn't the Lin family.
However, the collaboration between the two companies wasn't exactly built on honesty. If either side had a chance, they'd definitely try to claim a larger share.
Although Lin Xingzhu's father appeared gentle and kind, she didn't believe in the saying "business is a battlefield." In situations where the other party had ill intentions, her father would surely be thinking of how to profit.
If there's a bargain to be made, you'd be a fool not to seize it.
Lin Xingzhu figured the other side must be thinking the same way.
