“I want to have a look.”
It was a very normal demand, so Ding Jie said, “Alright, I’ll ask her to bring you her file.”
“Sure.”
Then Ding Jie led Lin Huilian out of the office.
After Ding Jie closed the door, Lin Huilian asked, “Don’t you feel awkward?”
“Awkward?”
“Right,” Lin Huilian said, “Lin Yunan is your ex after all, so I feel weird about your relationship. It seems to me that as long as two people had an affair, it was impossible to be friends. And if you don’t want your relationship with your husband to get worse, then … ”
Seeing Lin Huilian didn’t continue, Ding Jie asked: “Resign?”
“Why not?”
“I wasn’t afraid to treat him as my boss.”
“what about him?”
“Neither was he too.”
“You don’t want to give up your salary, right?”
After being asked by Lin Huilian, Ding Jie frowned without retorting.
Lin Huilian didn’t continue to embarrass her at the entrance of the HR office.
After filling out the personal files in HR department, Lin Huilian sent it to Lin Yunan. She assumed that Lin Yunan would bring her back to HR with it. However, he kept her files. She didn’t know the reason. But since she was going to work here, Lin Huilian naturally didn’t dare to ask him for it.
Lin Yunan stared at the file in his hand after Lin Huilian had left the manager’s office.
After staring for a few minutes, he picked up his phone to call Li Jiaxue.
After it was answered, Lin Yunan said, “I’ll send you a personal file. Help me check the information about her parents.”
“Why?”
“This person could be the daughter of the person I’m looking for,” Lin Yunan said, “Help me with it as soon as possible, it’d be better in half an hour.”
“Okay, send me her personal file.”
“I’ll send you a photo of her personal files.”
“Alright.”
After hanging up, Lin Yunan took a photo of Lin Huilian’s personal files and then sent it to Li Jiaxue.
Twenty minutes later, Lin Yunan’s cell phone rang. It was Li Jiaxue, so Lin Yunan immediately answered it, “What’s going on?”
“Her father is named Lin Feng. Her mother is Zhu Lili, both are natives of Xiamen in Jimei district.”
“Thank you,”
“Is Zhu Lili the woman in the picture?”
“Yes,” Lin Yunan laughed out loud, “It’s really a small the world. I didn’t expect that the person I was looking for would appear in front of me.”
“Who are you looking for, Zhu Lili or Lin Huilian?”
“Doesn’t it mean finding the other one with one? “After a pause, Lin Yunan asked, “Was Lin Huilian their only daughter?”
“Nuclear family.”
“Alright,” Lin Yunan said, “The cooperation between us has officially come to an end. I will transfer the remaining money.”
“Including the contract to investigate Ding Jie?”
“Yes. She’s in my vision now.”
“Alright, the two contracts will all be terminated.”
“Indeed.”
“How did you know that Lin Huilian is Zhu Lili’s daughter?”
“I felt some familiarity at the first sight of her, but I’m sure I haven’t met her. Then I suddenly remembered the old, yellowed photograph, and remembered that she is identical to the woman in the photo. To take a chance, I called you to check her parents’ information. Since her mother is Zhu Lili, which was also the name on the back of photograph, it was possible that her mother was the woman.”
“Can you tell me why you’re looking for her?”
“None of your business.”
“Alright. Whatever, my mission has already been accomplished.”
“I still have things to do. See you.”
“Okay.”
After hanging up, Lin Yunan transferred 20, 000 yuan to Li Jiaxue.
Then he picked up the phone and called HR.
After Ding Jie answered the phone, Lin Yunan said, “Manager Ding, please inform Lin Huilian to come over.”
“Alright.”
Then he hung up the phone.
Half a minute later the door was knocked.
“Come in,”.
Lin Yunan handed the personal file to the incoming Lin Huilian, “Have you been to Beijing?”
“No, what’s the matter?”
“In fact, Beijing is a good place, so you’d better visit there.” After pausing, Lin Yunan smiled very gently, “Then what about your parents? Had they ever been to Beijing? If not, you can take them with you when you have a spare time. It just happened to be that our company is in Beijing, you can go take a look there.”
“My mom has been in Beijing for years. She won’t like Beijing.”
“Did your mother work in Beijing?”
“The university,”
“Did she come back to Xiamen after graduation?”
“Yes, she had an arranged marriage, so my mom went back to Xiamen.”
“What a pity,” Lin Yunan smiled. “Actually, as long as one had entered university decades ago, they would all be working in government offices . If your mother hadn’t returned to Xiamen at that time, she’d have been a top official in a Beijing authority. Is your mother a leader here?”
“No,” Lin Huilian said, “If she hadn’t marry my dad, she might have been. It’s a pity that she married my father. My dad was very feudal that he didn’t think women should go out to work. What’s more, my mother was pregnant with me at that time, so she gave up work and rested at home.”
“It’s really a pity,” Lin Yunan nodded. “Actually, I have a small suggestion but I don’t know whether you would like to hear it.”
“What suggestion?”
“I don’t want to leave you in HR,” Lin Yunan said, “You are friends with manager Ding, so HR departments is not suitable for you. You may feel it strange, but I am afraid Ding Jie will indulge you because she is gentle. I need an assistant too. Could you take charge as my assistant?.”
