Chapter 544 - 544 545 Autumn Should Be Nice If You Are Still
?Chapter 544: Chapter 545: Autumn Should Be Nice, If You Are Still Here (4)_1 Chapter 544: Chapter 545: Autumn Should Be Nice, If You Are Still Here (4)_1 Jing Haohao only made contact with Xian’er after arriving in Jiangshan City. She stayed at Xian’er’s house for a few days, found a job as a secretary assistant, and then rented an apartment close to her workplace.
To put it nicely, she was a secretary assistant. But in a nutshell, her job was to help out the secretaries of the company’s senior executives.
Even though Haixin Company wasn’t a particularly large company, its numerous, varied matters were enough to keep Jing Haohao gasping for breath.
This 9-to-5 work life was indeed somewhat monotonous and tiring, but Jing Haohao felt an indescribable sense of stability in it.
While living abroad, Jing Haohao didn’t follow business news and thus hadn’t heard much about Liang Chen. However, after returning to Jiangshan City, she would still hear about Jiangshan Group from her colleagues, even without intentionally trying to.
Just like the news about Liang Chen she had heard before, most of it was serious business news such as Liang Chen launching a new real estate project, introducing new products, or the summer profit margin increasing by a certain percentage.
Jing Haohao had seen Liang Chen on the cover of a business magazine once. The casual photo of him casually leaning against a wall, simply dressed in a black suit and a white shirt, exuded a breathtaking appeal.
From the photo and the news, it seemed like he was doing very well.
Just like before, everything about him was thriving and enviable.
On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the company let off work early. Jing Haohao and a colleague, who were on the same route, waited at the bus stop together.
The bus stop was set up in front of the “Forever 8:30” gate. When Jing Haohao and her colleague were waiting for the bus, they saw the high wall and the closed gate. Unable to restrain her curiosity, Jing Haohao asked her colleague, “What’s inside there?”
Her colleague twisted her head to look at the wall that rose behind them and shook her head. “Around this time last year, the place was demolished and afterwards, they erected a tall wall. Everyone guessed it might be some restaurant, hotel or shopping mall, but until now, it’s still like this. No one knows who would invest such a huge amount to build such an unremarkable square warehouse-like building in such a valuable area, and the door is always locked, hardly anyone is seen going in and out. I’m really curious about what’s inside. Here comes our bus, let’s hurry on board.”
As she said this, she pulled Jing Haohao onto the bus.
Jing Haohao was even more curious about the mysterious, unassuming building outside after hearing her colleague’s narration. She couldn’t help but steal another glance before the bus slowly started to pull away.
…
At around half-past five, Liang Chen received another phone call from the old house.
After hanging up, he stared at the glass ceiling for a while, then sat up straight, adjusted his clothes, and picked up his car keys before heading out.
After locking the large gate of the wall, Liang Chen walked towards his car, pressed the key fob to unlock it, and climbed inside.
The roads were crowded, and traffic moved slowly. While waiting at a red light, Liang Chen managed to merge into a lane and ended up right beside a city bus.
Liang Chen was leisurely sat inside his car, one hand propped against the window, the other casually resting on the steering wheel, his gaze fixed directly ahead.
