65: Chapter 65 Why is it you?

Wang Jincai was led by his niece into the inpatient building; the big shot he wanted to visit was in this very building.

After exiting the elevator, Wang Jincai paused for two minutes outside the ward, rehearsing his words, before knocking on the door.

Hearing a “Please come in,” he carried his items, opened the door, and walked inside. Wang Jincai placed the gifts on the table and introduced himself, "Hello, Mr. James, I am the Deputy General Manager of the Technology Department at Tianyu Company. This is our President Li Mingqi’s business card. I have come to visit you with a task he entrusted to me. Can we talk?"

The man on the bed took the business card, his brows slightly furrowed.

"James?"

Wang Jincai apologized profusely, "I am very sorry. Our President heard your IP address appeared at this hospital. To be honest, I've been staking out here for you for three days. Our boss wants to recruit you to our company! You can name your terms!"

The man pointed to the information plate at the head of the bed, "Look closely, my name is Liang Kuan."

Wang Jincai gave him an ‘I understand’ look, "Mr. Liang, are you willing to work for our company? Our boss recently acquired a mobile game company. If you join, you will be the CTO, controlling risks and leading your brothers to expand. The benefits and treatment will definitely be more substantial than your previous job."

Liang Kuan looked over suspiciously, "You investigated me?"

Wang Jincai chuckled flatteringly, "I apologize, boss told me to recruit people, and I really had no other choice, so I used this clumsy method. To be able to recruit a god-level person like you into the company, I guess my efforts weren't misguided."

Liang Kuan narrowed his eyes and asked, "I can name my terms, is this James's treatment?"

"Yes, those are our President's exact words. You can name any terms!"

Liang Kuan smiled, "I'm being discharged tomorrow. I can meet with your President Li in the afternoon."

Wang Jincai immediately beamed with joy, two more wrinkles appearing at the corners of his eyes. He estimated that this matter was almost certainly settled.

If this was accomplished, his job would be secured, and he would also get a promotion and a raise.

This Mr. James was truly his great benefactor.

Wang Jincai stood up and bowed, "Thank you, Mr. Liang. I will call our President Li right away to schedule a time, but before that, can I add you on WeChat?"

Liang Kuan handed over a QR code for him to scan.

Wang Jincai left the ward, his mood soaring.

He changed Liang Kuan's WeChat note to 'James'. This was the closest he had ever been to a god-level figure.

That was a big shot revered as a god in the circle, whom countless headhunters had tried and failed to recruit, and he had managed it.

His three sleepless days in the car were worth it!

Wang Jincai immediately called Li Mingqi to report on his work and to arrange the time and place for their meeting the next day.

On the other side, Song Yuan’s eyelids had been twitching all day.

This morning he had a meeting with his brothers to check on their progress, and he found that everyone's work was ahead of schedule. At this rate, they would complete development ahead of the set time.

It wasn't easy for them to get back together, so he booked a private room at a nearby restaurant for dinner tonight, considering it the team's first team-building event.

Everyone chatted happily and had a few drinks. Song Yuan also drank quite a bit. Midway through, he stepped out for a cigarette to clear his head from the alcohol.

Not far away, several young hooligans were surrounding a drunken young girl, teasing her with vulgar words.

Song Yuan called out to a passing waiter, asking him to call security.

He continued smoking his cigarette. He hadn't even finished half of it when the hooligans started lifting the girl and heading towards the elevator.

"Song Yuan… don't leave!"

Song Yuan heard the slurred, tearful drunken words from not far away.

He stubbed out his cigarette and looked over. The drunken girl was Lin Xueyao!

She might have drunk too much, completely unaware of the danger at that moment, still shouting, "Song Yuan, I know I was wrong, please don't leave me! I don't want you to go…"

He hadn't expected to run into Lin Xueyao here!

She looked much thinner, somewhat disheveled, and her usual exquisite makeup was nowhere to be seen on her face.

Song Yuan pinched his brow and strode over, saying to the hooligans, "Put her down."

One of the young hooligans looked at Song Yuan and couldn't help but scoff, "What, someone's trying to snatch a body they picked up at a restaurant? If you want a woman, go pick one up outside a bar!"

Song Yuan kicked the man in the knee. The hooligan was unprepared for the kick and immediately dropped to one knee on the ground.

The other two hooligans saw this and thought, so they're fighting now?

Three against one, they would definitely have the upper hand. They threw the unconscious Lin Xueyao onto the ground, rolled up their sleeves, and prepared to fight.

Song Yuan was tall and had a well-built physique, and he quickly knocked the three hooligans to the ground.

The three hooligans saw they couldn't win and ran away.

Lin Xueyao lay on the ground for a few minutes, looking at the man in front of her, and began to sob softly, "Are you Song Yuan? I knew you wouldn't abandon me, right?"

Song Yuan ignored her, took out his phone, and called Qiao Xi, asking Qiao Xi to come pick her up.

Lin Xueyao didn't wait for Song Yuan to speak, and quickly denied herself, "No, you're not Song Yuan. Song Yuan wouldn't watch me sit on the ground and do nothing; he would pick me up."

As she spoke, she sobbed and cried, growing more and more upset, until she leaned over and clutched Song Yuan's pant leg, crying, "Song Yuan, please forgive me just this once, okay? Let's start over, I was wrong, I know I was wrong…"

Lin Xueyao kept repeating these sentences. Song Yuan called over a nearby waiter and asked the waiter to help her to a chair in the lobby.

"Lin Xueyao, I helped you today because I would have helped any girl being harassed by hooligans, not because it was you.

I hope you forget we met tonight when you wake up tomorrow."

Lin Xueyao looked at him with empty eyes, unable to even focus. She had drunk so much that she was a complete mess.

The Song Yuan in front of her seemed like the person she longed for, and also like someone she had imagined.

She couldn't distinguish between reality and dream, only repeating drunken words, "Song Yuan, let's start over?"

"Song Yuan, I don't believe you can move on from a relationship that quickly. You definitely haven't forgotten me."

"Song Yuan, I will win you back, I will!"

...

Song Yuan handed her over to the waiter and turned back to the private room.

Inside the private room, everyone was talking about the Internet Conference.

This year's Internet Conference was more grand than in previous years; it was rumored that many Beijing Circle capitalists would attend.

The brothers were very excited about attracting investment; success or failure depended on this one event.

Soon after Song Yuan sat down, he received a message from Qiao Xi on his phone,

"Person picked up, will be home within ten minutes."

Song Yuan didn't reply and continued chatting with his brothers.

When they had drunk enough, he went out and paid the bill. The dinner ended, and everyone dispersed.

Song Yuan had drunk quite a bit and called a designated driver on his phone.

He went downstairs and exited the restaurant, just as the designated driver's GPS showed they had arrived at the destination.

Not far away, an ethereal voice called out to him, "Song Yuan, I'm your designated driver for today!"

Song Yuan was stunned and walked over.

"Why is it you?"
