Chapter 848: Searching For Clues (2)

Zhao Youlin returned to the company not long after her confinement. However, Zhao Shunrong still pampered her at work. He would help Zhao Youlin with some important matters, and he would hand over some less important matters to his subordinates. As a “President,” Zhao Youlin’s work was almost the same as when she was the general manager.

Seeing Zhao Youlin standing there in a daze, Xiao Li called out in confusion, “President, President…”

“Ah, what’s wrong?” Zhao Youlin looked up at Xiao Li, who had suddenly appeared in her office. Realizing that she had been too engrossed in her thoughts, she quickly asked her in a low voice.

Xiao Li smiled awkwardly and said, somewhat helplessly, “No, nothing. I just saw that you seemed a little absent-minded, President. Is there something on your mind? Or are you tired? Do you want to go back and rest?”

Zhao Youlin looked at Xiao Li’s nervous face and suddenly didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. She had just given birth not long ago, and Zhao Shunrong had specially reminded Xiao Li about it. This little secretary of hers seemed to be overreacting to everything now.

“I’m fine. I was just thinking about something just now. Why did you come here?”

“Oh, yes, it’s this.” Xiao Li seemed to have woken up from a dream. Only then did she remember the purpose of her visit. She hurriedly handed the document in her hand to Zhao Youlin and said, “President, this is the new contract between Blake Group and our company. Please take a look at it. We have already changed the previous conditions according to your and Mr. Sirius’ wishes. Do you have any other areas that need to be modified?”

After the incident with Zhao Youming, Sirius still remained in Shalnork to continue working with Zhao Youlin.

The two of them could be considered friends who knew each other well. After working together for some time, Sirius realized that Shalnork was full of potential, so he communicated with Kirsten.

The two of them came to a conclusion and decided to consider serious ventures in Shalnork. As for Sirius, he was originally from Shalnork. He had no problems staying in Shalnork to expand Blake’s business territory.

Since they had decided on a long-term cooperation, the contract between Blake and the Zhao Group could not be as casual as it had been when they signed a short-term contract.

Now, the one in Li’s hand was the revised contract under the agreement between the two parties.

Zhao Youlin skimmed through the contents of the contract and handed the document in her hand back to Li.

“Alright, that’s enough. I’ll get their person-in-charge to come over in two days and settle this matter properly.”

“Okay.” Xiao Li took the document and smiled. “If there’s nothing else, I’ll head out first.”

“Okay.”

Xiao Li carried the document and hurried out of the door. However, not long after, Xiao Li actually returned in a fluster.

Zhao Youlin was stunned and felt a little strange. “Why are you back?”

Xiao Li chuckled and took out a bouquet of flowers from behind her.

The bright red roses were slowly tied into a bouquet, and there were exactly ninety-nine of them.

“President, here are your roses.”

Zhao Youlin glanced at the bouquet of roses coldly and said indifferently, “Put them on.”

Xiao Li looked at Zhao Youlin’s indifference and was a little puzzled, but she said nothing.

However, when she got up, she smiled and said with envy, “President and President Mu are married, and President Mu still sends you flowers like before. You two are really close.”

Zhao Youlin’s expression froze, and then she smiled and didn’t answer.

After Xiao Li left, Zhao Youlin immediately took out the card from the bouquet.

Surprisingly, the card wasn’t signed by Mu Tingfeng, but… Lu Sizheng.

Zhao Youlin’s eyes narrowed dangerously, and she threw the card and the flowers into the trash can.

Thinking of the matter that she had been struggling with, Zhao Youlin hesitated for a moment before finally picking up the phone and dialing a number that she thought she would never call in her life.

The phone was picked up very quickly. The person on the other end of the line seemed to be surprised that Zhao Youlin would take the initiative to look for him and asked uncertainly, “Ms. Zhao?”

“That’s right, it’s me. Mister Qin, I need your help.”

Qin Huai laughed on the other end of the line. “That’s really strange. You coming for my help?”

“Mister Qin, you don’t have to make fun of me. If I had a choice, I wouldn’t ask for your help.” If she wanted to investigate those people, she couldn’t use the Zhao family’s own power. Otherwise, once she was found out… it was very likely that she would implicate Duan Yarong and the others.

As for Mu Tingfeng, when she thought about the Su family’s connections, Zhao Youlin instinctively didn’t want him to get involved.

After thinking about it, Zhao Youlin could only rely on this… Mister Qin, whom she had worked with sporadically and grudgingly.

Qin Huai was silent on the other end of the phone for a moment. He sighed faintly. “When you put it that way, it sounds sad. But forget it, we’ve only met a few times. It’s already asking much for Ms. Zhao to think of me at this time.”

Zhao Youlin was amused by Qin Huai’s teasing, but her face quickly darkened. She said seriously, “Let’s make it clear in advance that this matter has a certain degree of risk. If you don’t want it, you can just say so. I won’t force you.”

Qin Huai also realized the seriousness of the matter when he heard this. He stopped joking and said in a deep voice, “If it’s that severe, it would be too unreasonable for me to say no to that.”

“Mister Qin, I’m not joking.”

“I’m not joking either.” Qin Huai sighed. “Ms. Zhao, do you not trust me? What’s the matter?”

Zhao Youlin closed her eyes and said after a moment, “Is it about Lu Shu and Lu Xiangtian?”

“Lu Shu and Lu Xiangtian?”

“Yes. Mister Qin, do you still remember the things I asked you to look into when we first met?”

Qin Huai was stunned for a moment. He seemed to have thought of something interesting and chuckled. “Of course, I remember. If not for that, I’m afraid that I wouldn’t have had any interactions with someone like Ms. Zhao.”

Zhao Youlin’s heart trembled slightly. In fact, she had hesitated before looking for Qin Huai. It was not that she did not know the feelings this person had for her in the past. Even now, she could not be sure if this person had already given up on her.

If he were to continue investigating these things, it was inevitable that he would find some clues. But now, she could not think of a better way.

“Among the people I asked you to investigate at that time, there was a female police officer named Lu Shu.”

When Zhao Youlin said this, Qin Huai remembered. “There was indeed this person. At that time, Ms. Zhao even specially called and asked us to investigate her relationship with a Mr. Li.”
