123 Zhang Rui

“Then how do you plan to build a good relationship with them?” Yin Tao looked at Zhang Rui and felt that she had no intention of networking with Lin Jia and the others by hiding here.

“To suck up to, curry favor, ingratiate. I’ve seen a lot of politics in the business world. It’s all the same.” Zhang Rui had a nonchalant expression. Unlike the nonchalance in the police station, Zhang Rui was more relaxed in front of Yin Tao.

Yin Tao felt that the woman in front of her was very interesting. She won’t go so far as to say she was simple-minded, but she definitely wasn’t the scheming type if she could speak her mind like this.

“Don’t just ask me. Aren’t you a police officer? Why are you here?” After Zhang Rui finished speaking, she immediately looked at Yin Tao intently. “Police sister, are you here to fish for a rich husband?”

Yin Tao couldn’t help but roll her eyes at her and rebutted, “Don’t assume everyone is a gold digger. I came with my family.”

“How is that gold digging? As long as you succeed, you’re capable.” Zhang Rui walked to Yin Tao’s side and nudged her gently with her shoulder. “Look at your expensive dress. Your father is also capable. He’s the boss of some company. He might even have business dealings with my father.”

Zhang Rui’s candidness made Yin Tao feel uncomfortable. She took a few steps to the side and said, “I’m just an ordinary person. Don’t have any ideas about me.”

“I’m thinking, can you marry me?” Zhang Rui saw that Yin Tao was stumped by her words. She laughed and teased, “Otherwise, do you have an older brother or a cousin? As long as he’s handsome, I’m completely fine!”

When Yin Tao thought of her brother, Yin Hao, she couldn’t help but shiver. If Yin Hao really married Zhang Rui, then her life would definitely be chaotic in the future, and Zhao Yue would probably have her hands full.

“Why don’t you give me the contact information of the police officer who interrogated me last time? His face completely meets my criteria for a life partner!” Zhang Rui continued.

“What are your criteria for choosing a partner?” Yin Tao asked.

“He’s handsome! Didn’t I just say that?”

…

Yin Tao was speechless. She couldn’t understand Zhang Rui’s logic.

Seeing that Lin Jia didn’t come out, Yin Tao somewhat regretted agreeing to wait for him here. Furthermore, Zhang Rui had been chattering non-stop, and didn’t seem to have any intention of leaving.

In the room, Lin Jia was looking upset. After Yin Tao left, Old Master Lin immediately spoke his mind.

“Lin Jia, it’s best if you break up with that child as soon as possible. A relationship that doesn’t have an outcome. Don’t hold her up.” Old Master Lin poured a cup of tea for Lin Jia and gestured for him to sit down. He didn’t seem bothered that Yin Tao was still waiting outside.

“In the past, you were always urging me to find a girlfriend. Now that I’ve found one, you are urging me to break up with her.” Lin Jia chuckled, his slender smile revealing a rare trace of sadness. “What exactly do you want me to do?”

‘What do I want you to do? Have you ever listened?’

Old Master Lin could hear Lin Jia’s dissatisfaction, and his tone became much stricter. “When I asked you to go to the Central Government Law Academy, you insisted on studying finance. After graduation, I asked you to go to the provincial office, and you chose to be the mayor’s assistant. When did you listen to me?!”

Lin Jia took off his glasses and rubbed the bridge of his nose, which was a little sore. “Am I not doing very well now? Even the trouble Dad caused was cleaned up by me. Are you still not satisfied?”

Old Master Lin took a sip of tea and calmed himself down. He said earnestly, “I know you have your own thoughts. You have a certain amount of power in the city now and will have many opportunities in the future. However, a suitable wife will only help your career. That child just now is not good. She’s too young and her job…”

“What’s so shameful about Yin Tao’s profession? Your words are a little too much.” Lin Jia suppressed the anger in his heart. After all, it was Grandpa Lin’s birthday, and Lin Jia didn’t want to quarrel with him.

“It’s not that her profession is shameful. You clearly have many better choices. Didn’t I send you a contact? She’s very satisfied with you.” The marriage partner Old Master Lin had found for Lin Jia was either from a scholarly family or a government official. They were all much better than Yin Tao.

“You were the one who decided my parents’ marriage back then. What about now? Father caused such a scandal, and Mother wants a divorce. Is that what you want to see?”

Lin Jia’s voice was trembling. His parents had long lived separate lives. This time round, someone had actually taken photos of his father having an affair. If Lin Jia hadn’t stopped him with all his might, his father’s reputation would have been ruined and he would have been fired too.
