Wen Tiantian finally broke free from the crowd and ran in the direction of the corridor.    

    

But after a few rounds, she still didn't see him again.    

    

Even when he asked the waiter, he was told that the customer was not here.    

    

The housekeeper waited all the way outside the Yuncui Manor, but Wen Tiantian still hadn't come out.    

    

It was getting darker and darker, and according to the guests who came out, there seemed to have been some sort of disturbance not long ago.    

    

He was somewhat worried. Just as he was pondering whether he should go in, he finally saw Wen Tiantian walk out.    

    

Her eyes were dazed, as if she was thinking about something.    

    

The butler hurried over to welcome him.    

    

"Miss, how is it? Are you okay? "    

    

Wen Tiantian, however, acted as if she hadn't heard his voice at all and even stopped what she was doing.    

    

"Miss?" The butler looked at her with concern.    

    

Only then did Wen Tiantian raise her head. Her eyes gradually focused as the light returned to them.    

    

She blinked, her lips parted.    

    

"Butler …"    

    

The housekeeper looked at her anxiously, worried that Wen Tiantian would be bullied.    

    

Wen Tiantian's voice was very soft, as if she was speaking to an illusion.    

    

"I think … "I saw Ji Jingchen …"    

    

A breeze lifted the ends of her hair and scattered her voice.    

    

The butler's pupils dilated as he heard the old man's words.    

    

"Mister, sir?"    

    

Wen Tiantian recalled the face she just saw and the voice she heard. Without a doubt, it was Ji Jingchen.    

    

However, she clearly remembered that Ji Jingchen was sitting on a wheelchair at that time …    

    

She frowned. If Ji Jingchen was always nearby, why didn't he appear?    

    

Why didn't he come to find her?    

    

He even hurriedly left after saving her?    

    

It took the butler a moment to recover his thoughts.    

    

He moved closer to Wen Tiantian with a bit of excitement, his eyes slightly wide open.    

    

"What about you, sir?" Why didn't he come out with you? "    

    

He followed the Yuncui Manor's gate and looked inside, as if trying to find Ji Jingchen's trace.    

    

"Is mister still in there? "I'll send people there …"    

    

Before she could finish, Wen Tiantian shook her head, frowning slightly.    

    

"I did. He's gone."    

    

His words made the expression on the butler's face fall.    

    

"He left? "Why did mister …"    

    

"Perhaps, there is some important matter, or perhaps, there is a reason why it cannot appear."    

    

Wen Tiantian found an excuse for herself and took a deep breath.    

    

"It's a good thing he's back."    

    

She turned around and looked at the butler, revealing the first smile since Ji Jingchen's incident.    

    

"Great."    

    

The butler was stunned as he saw her appearance.    

    

Wen Tiantian's voice was light and her face had a gentle smile, but at that time, it was clear that her eyes were shining.    

    

It was as if all the worry, fear, and uneasiness that had been suppressed in his heart for so long had been completely vented out.    

    

She wiped the tears from her eyes and got into the car.    

    

The carriage slowly left the Yuncui Manor, and followed the road back to the ancient fortress.    

    

The butler sat in the passenger seat and heard a muffled sob behind him.    

    

He looked back in the mirror and saw Wen Tiantian bending over, her face on her knees, crying softly.    

    

The car slowed down under the steward's orders, and it took them an hour to finally get back to the castle.    

    

When the car door opened again and Wen Tiantian walked out, she had regained her usual look and looked even more energetic.    

    

The butler followed behind her and asked: "Miss, do you want someone to look for mister?"    

    

"Since he's deliberately hiding, he must have his own motives."    

    

She pondered for a while and said, "I should have guessed it already. I will look for her myself tomorrow."    

    

The next day, Wen Tiantian rushed to the company and told Zhong Lee the news.    

    

"Ji Jingchen has always been in the capital. Remember to keep it a secret, and not be discovered by Wen Family people at this time."    

    

She said excitedly, but Zhong Lee just kept silent and looked over in anger.    

    

"Zhong Lee, did you hear what I just said?"    

    

Zhong Lee finally came back to his senses.    

    

"Yes."    

    

He thought for a while and said: "Did you find President Ji?"    

    

Wen Tiantian shook her head. She didn't look worried at all.    

    

"He only showed it once before he ran away, but if I guessed correctly, it should be there."    

    

In the afternoon, the two of them came to Beijing company once again.    

    

Wen Tiantian was in a completely different mood from the previous two times she came. Her footsteps were slightly hurried.    

    

She eagerly walked into the company and went straight to Dong Hai's office.    

    

He was sitting inside playing a game, and the sound of the door opening almost scared him out of his wits.    

    

"Wen, Miss Wen, why are you here?"    

    

He was so nervous that he even stuttered. Ever since the incident last time, he had thought that Wen Tiantian would never come back.    

    

Who would have thought that on the second day, he would come looking for her again.    

    

His face was filled with disbelief. "You aren't here to discuss the proposal with me, are you? I'm really sorry, we've given it our all, and we just want to work with your company. "    

    

Wen Tiantian nodded. Her gaze swept around the office and then fell on the mirror that suddenly appeared.    

    

However, this time, the scorching gaze disappeared.    

    

She smiled at Dong Hai and said, "You've misunderstood. Today, I came to tell you that the M.I Corporation has decided to cooperate with you."    

    

When these words came out, Dong Hai and Zhong Lee were shocked.    

    

"Miss …" Just as Zhong Lee wanted to ask, he was stopped by Wen Tiantian.    

    

"How is it? When can we sign the contract? " Wen Tiantian asked Dong Hai directly.    

    

Dong Hai was stunned, then quickly reacted.    

    

"This... I'll have to discuss this with the employees of the company before deciding. "    

    

"Aren't you the head of the company? You were the one who founded the company, and you're in full charge of it. You even need to discuss it with all the employees? " Wen Tiantian asked.    

    

Dong Hai looked troubled.    

    

"Yes …" "Yeah."    

    

He wiped the sweat from his forehead.    

    

Wen Tiantian continued, "When the time comes, I will hold a press conference to announce our cooperation with you. However, you should know that the probability of failure is very high due to this risky plan. If anything goes wrong, you must take responsibility."    

    

"Huh?"    

    

Dong Hai was dumbfounded and said in surprise, "It's my identity?"    

    

"Of course."    

    

Dong Hai panicked even more when he heard this. Large drops of sweat rolled down his forehead.    

    

"If there's a problem with the cooperation, how much compensation do I need?"    

    

Wen Tiantian said seriously, "The funding for this project is over a billion yuan. If there really is a loss, then of course we have to split the funds evenly."    

    

Plop!    

    

Dong Hai was so scared that he fell on the ground with a pale face.    

    

"So many!"    

    

Wen Tiantian laughed, "That's still considered not enough. If we were to wait until the construction starts, it would definitely exceed the budget. "Mr. Dong, this is a plan that you personally wrote. It should be very clear."    

    

"I... "I …"
