Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Xia Yishan took Ren Qi to Sea City.

As he stood at the foot of the Tiancheng Group’s building, the landmark of Sea City, Ren Qi’s jaw almost dropped from the shock. “Ms. Xia, please don’t tell me that you’re the heir to this massive company!”

She rolled her eyes at him. “Oh, you wish. Come with me.”

Doubtful, he caught up to her.

She took him to the registration to confirm the appointment and led him upstairs to see the person they were meeting.

Never had he thought she was taking him to meet the wife of the group’s director, Lin Jiayin.

Xia Yishan winked at Lin Jiayin. “Director Lin…”

Lin Jiayin laughed out loud, “Oh, please stop. I thought you left for Beijing? Why didn’t you just call me instead? You came all the way to meet me in the office.”

“I’m here to give you a man!”

Lin Jiayin was speechless.

‘Haha, Director Gu would be furious!’

“He’s a genius!”

“What?”

“He has a talent for design. Would you like to assess him yourself?”

“Sure. It’s rare that you visit, so I’ll have to be a gracious host.”

“I’m only staying in the city for two more days at most.”

“Deal!”

Xia Yishan handed Ren Qi’s work to Lin Jiayin. After receiving her confirmation, he was assigned to learn from Leonard, the most senior member of the design department.

Ren Qi had amazing skills. Xia Yishan took him to pursue his dream in Sea City to increase his proficiency and also ensure that he would avoid Tan Xiaoling completely. She was killing two birds with one stone.

She stayed for another two days in Sea City. After arranging a rented house for him, she flew back to Beijing as he sent her off with his utmost gratitude.

What happened to Ren Qi was a great inspiration for Xia Yishan. She had the experience from her past life, so she understood some major events that occurred then.

She tried hard to recollect the details that took place in her past life. She was very busy as she traveled over the next two months, even busier than Su Jingting.

Xia Yishan did not have time to meet him at all and could only reply to his WeChat messages occasionally.

On the evening the day before school opened, she was dragging her luggage out of Beijing Airport.

She had been working hard for the past two months and benefited from the experience.

It was already dark when she got a cab back to her apartment. The lamps on the bustling streets blinded her eyes.

Xia Yishan thought she would have instant noodles for dinner and then go to bed. She was deciding what flavor she should eat while she walked through the corridor, searching for her keys.

She was surprised to see a figure at her narrow apartment entrance, slyly peeking inside.

Hearing her footsteps, the figure turned its head.

Seeing that face, Xia Yishan was eager to throw her luggage at it.

“Sister Yishan…”

“Why are you here?” Xia Yishan placed her key in the keyhole. She was in no hurry to open the door.

“Sister Yishan, I heard that you moved out of the Xia residence, so I thought I’d visit you. Why didn’t you tell me you were leaving? I have many apartments and villas under my name. You’re welcome to pick any of them. This area is rather remote. It’s quite dangerous for a girl like you to live here. I’m worried…” As he spoke, Ling Chengze did not bother hiding the disdain and disgust filling his eyes.

Hah. Xia Yishan saw everything. Lin Chengze was the Lin family’s young master. Naturally, he looked down on such a modest place. She was tight on finances at the moment and the apartment was within her budget.

“Leave if there’s nothing important. I’m exhausted. I need to rest now.”

Only after hearing her words did Lin Chengze notice her hand on the handle of the bag she had brought. She appeared to have gone on a business trip. She was just a student, so why would she need to do so? He must be overthinking..
