Chapter 9: Where Peace of Mind Resides

standing nearby, also thought he was asking too much. Her family lawyer Shu didn't have any athletic talent, how could he possibly climb up thereResult, the lawyer, threw the bag in her hands and said...Zuo Yu'an was a strange person. As a student in the science class, he always acted indifferent and aloof towards everyone, but he was inseparable from Lu Kuo. He often went to the liberal arts class and even joined their graduation party, just to join in the fun. Because of his aloof and arrogant demeanor, students in the liberal arts class were reluctant to approach him, including Shu Tinglan.

Shu Tinglan never liked participating in these kinds of activities, so she sat in the corner listening to them sing and watching them play games with abandon. Zhu Yu'an wasn't familiar with them either and sat on the sidelines, not participating.

It was quite lively, but Shu Tinglan wasn't in a good mood that day. Something had happened at home, and she had also had an argument with her mother over university applications, so she sat quietly on the side, eating some snacks and sipping a little cocktail. By late at night, she got too tired and fell asleep leaning against the sofa in a corner.

When she woke up, it was past 5 a.m. Most of the classmates were sleeping soundly, but she unexpectedly woke up in Zhuo YUAN's arms.

Zuo Yu'an didn't make any movement. He was just normally leaning on the sofa asleep, she probably mistook Zuo Yu'an beside her for a teddy bear at home in her dream, leaning against him with her whole body, her hands tightly wrapped around his waist.

That morning, time seemed to stand still. She caught the scent of his clean fragrance and heard the steady beat of his heart. They had never met before, but after that morning, she remembered the smell and the sound of his heartbeat for a long time.

She left without disturbing anyone, not even Zhuo Yu'an. He didn't know she had used him as a human pillow all night because he was fast asleep. After that morning, many changes occurred at home. She cut ties with the past completely and came to study in Senzhou City, thousands of miles away.

The reason she brought up Zhuo Yu'an to Lin Zhixuan was because she happened to see an article about him in the media. She joked that he was her high school classmate and that they had a one-night stand. In fact, all her impressions of Zhuo Yu'an from high school were left with that one night.

To my surprise, Lin Zhi'ao actually remembered.

After that, Lin Zhihao mysteriously waved his phone in front of her.

"Cheng Chen, in order to make amends for his previous mistakes, gave me Zhuo Y uan's WeChat. I added him twice before he accepted." Lin Zhifei thought that having a big shot like Zhuo Yuan in his WeChat friends list instantly made his account more valuable.

"What do you need him for" It feels like everyone in the world wants to get in touch with him.

"Is that even a question It's already been circulating in the industry that Zhuoyuan Technology is going to acquire ShengpRui Intelligence. If the acquisition goes through, they'll definitely need to hire a lot of people. As long as I can secure a partnership with them and get a portion of their business, my performance this year and next will not be a concern at all; I'll even be able to smoothly get promoted to partner."

According to Shu Tinglan, Zhuyuan Technology currently cooperates with nearly a hundred headhunting companies. Their human resources department ranks the cooperating headhunting companies annually. The top ten consist of one domestic company and the rest are all internationally renowned consulting firms. This shows that the HR department is not willing to reuse domestic consultants, or perhaps their job requirements lean towards overseas backgrounds.

Lin Zhi's headhunting company specializes in real estate and has no advantage in electronics and technology. It is almost impossible to achieve cooperation with Zhuo Yuan.

"I finally got in touch with their HR department, but they sent a junior assistant who dismissed me. That's when I thought of contacting Zhuo Yu'an directly. As the saying goes, it's easier to see the king of hell than to deal with little devils."

Shu Tinglan thought Lin Zhi'an might have some misunderstanding about Zhuo Yu'an. This man wasn't some kind of terrible king of hell, so she kindly warned:

“This is his work number, and his assistant usually handles it. Plus, he's not very talkative.”g Chen silently rolled his eyes in his heart and sneered, "You don't even look at how many points you got on your math test""I did that on purpose, otherwise I would have surpassed you. I'm letting yo...
