"Forget it, let’s not talk about these things anymore, they’re just upsetting, making us sound like gossipy women.

" Lin Chan waved his hand to change the subject first, turned to look at He Zhilan, smiled and said, "Zhilan, recently, quite a few employees from our two companies are dating. I’m practically their matchmaker, I guess by the second half of the year, I’ll be too busy attending their weddings!

Are you free tomorrow? Do you want to visit your company and check things out? "

He Zhilan nodded, "Since I’m here, I might as well go.

" Though, there were not many matters concerning her in the company.

Lin Chan would help her with important decisions, and any documents that required her authorization and signature would regularly be sent to the city for her to review and sign.

He Teng originally planned to accompany He Zhilan to Lanteng Company the next day, but unexpectedly, someone came to find him at the hotel that same night, informing him of a very important meeting at the local brigade the next day.

So, plans cannot keep up with changes; the next morning, He Teng went to the meeting with others, while He Zhilan and Lin Chan went to Lanteng Company together.

Lin Chan also had his own company affairs to deal with, so after dropping He Zhilan off, he only stayed in Lanteng Company for five minutes before leaving.

Although the employees hadn’t seen He Zhilan for a while, they did not feel distant from her. They asked about her health before returning to their workstations.

After staying in the company for over an hour and handling some documents, He Zhilan left with her bag and arranged to meet a university professor for tea.

Lanteng Company was not far from the bustling downtown area, and the meeting place was nearby. Seeing she still had time, He Zhilan decided to take a leisurely stroll there.

Speaking of which, He Zhilan had not properly wandered around the capital for a long time.

The national economy was developing; in a bustling city, several months could bring quiet changes, like many old buildings being demolished.

Without guessing, within less than a year, those places would be replaced by brand-new high rises.

He Zhilan remembered when she first got to know the city, still very young, selling things on the streets, even getting into a fight with Gu En in public. Back then, she was looked down upon by many students from the school just for setting up a stall.

But now, let alone becoming a well-known female entrepreneur in the capital, that arrogant and overbearing Gu En had become a criminal locked up in prison.

Because she once supplied headwear stalls for Yan Wei years ago, some department store employees still remember her, greeting her warmly upon seeing her.

As it was still early for her appointment with the professor, He Zhilan started shopping in the mall by herself, also thinking about buying some new clothes for the changing seasons.

The department stores in the capital are larger than those in the city, full of dazzling new products that could make one’s eyes spin.

On the second floor of the mall, there’s a toy counter that has the most comprehensive variety and best quality items in the entire capital. The toys sold there are almost all imported, which means that the prices are not affordable for an ordinary family.

He Zhilan’s footsteps paused for a few seconds as she passed by the counter, then uncontrollably stepped inside.

Looking at the toys and children’s clothing and supplies, He Zhilan’s heart softened. It was like a habit; seeing something she liked, she would buy it, and then, under the salesperson’s smiling face, leave the counter with her hands full of items.
