"Uncle Wu called me here in such a hurry. Is there something you need to tell me? I have nothing else this afternoon, so go ahead." Quan Jin refocused his attention on the main issue.

Quan Yin handed the document in the yellow envelope next to him to Quan Jin: "Take a look at it first, and if there’s anything you don’t understand, ask me."

Quan Jin reached out to take it: "You’re giving me more tasks again."

He didn’t shy away from the woman beside him and directly opened the envelope to see what was inside. After reading it, his expression was not good: "Are you asking me to handle the cotton textile factory affair?"

Holding a white porcelain teacup, Quan Yin lectured with an elder’s tone: "I heard recently that you wanted to enter the entertainment industry, but it’s been a while and there’s not even a hint of news about you there. I asked grandma and she said you were just talking about it without taking it seriously. Jin, you should know that even if a man doesn’t accomplish something big, he should at least have a career of his own, no matter how big or small. Since you didn’t take that path, just idling around is not an option. Are you planning to wait until your father with gray hair and frost waits for you to take over the family business?"

Before Quan Jin could say anything.

Quan Yin asked Gu Yuan: "What do you think, Miss Gu?"

Quan Yin’s aura was gentle, not too intimidating, and could be described as a gentle knife, but every cut was deadly.

Having known Quan Yin for some time, Gu Yuan wasn’t nervous. She calmly replied: "Mr. Quan makes a good point."

Quan Yin smiled warmly and then said to Quan Jin: "Did you hear that?"

The silent Quan Jin: "..."

Quan Yin continued from earlier: "I have already approved the urban renewal project for the cotton textile factory. You will need to conduct an on-site inspection. Once the cotton textile factory matter is handled, I’ll gradually let you take over other approved projects."

Quan Jin replied: "I don’t plan to go to Hai City."

"What, are you in love and reluctant to do long distance?" Quan Yin guessed his thoughts based on Quan Jin’s attitude.

He guessed correctly, but not completely.

Quan Jin hadn’t planned to stay long in Yanjing, but his first choice for a place to go would certainly be Sui City. If he hadn’t run into Gu Xueli today, he might not have had concerns when facing Uncle Wu’s words and would have gone directly.

But now, it’s not possible.

"I’m not going to Hai City, I’ll go to Sui City," Quan Jin said.

Gu Yuan, listening quietly at the side, said nothing to minimize her presence.

Quan Yin’s expression showed some displeasure due to Quan Jin’s attitude: "Going to Sui City, and pretending to enter the entertainment industry?"

"That’s the plan." He replied.

"Just a plan, same as before, going and coming back, creating a pretense that prevents grandma from interfering with your career. Quan Jin, you’re a grown man, not a big boy."

Quan Yin’s aura as an elder was fully displayed.

If Gu Yuan weren’t here, Quan Jin might have responded with defiance, his rebellious nature unrestrained by setting or timing.

"Uncle Wu, I don’t need you to interfere with my affairs, and I’m not going to Hai City." At this moment, Quan Jin expressed his position firmly, glancing at the quiet Gu Yuan beside him: "I have a complete plan for my future, no need for you to worry, Uncle Wu."

Although Quan Jin was averse to the matter of careers raised by Quan Yin, he could not deny that Uncle Wu’s words made sense.

He certainly hadn’t planned to wait until his father, gray-haired and frosted, hands over the family business.

He truly was idle and carefree, without responsibilities, but he didn’t intend to enter politics.

The entertainment industry was just a casual mention, not even an interest, but now he felt it necessary to take a slight interest.

"I understand your position," Quan Yin said, showing understanding and not refuting Quan Jin’s words, but added: "But the on-site inspection for the cotton textile factory’s urban renewal project is still assigned to you. You won’t be the only one going; several people above in Hai City will go. Making some connections is beneficial and harmless for you."

With things laid out like this, Quan Jin naturally had no reason to refuse any further.

So he verbally agreed: "Okay, I’ll go."

Quan Yin took a sip of green tea, put it down, and said: "Then let’s set out this afternoon." Raising his hand, he moved his arm, revealing the wristwatch under his cuff.

Checking the time, Quan Yin said: "Two o’clock you go, I’ll have my secretary book a flight to Hai City for you."

Quan Jin: "..."

This has been arranged already?

Gu Yuan raised her eyes to look at Quan Jin, and just as Quan Yin was also looking at her, their gazes met briefly before he looked away, but Gu Yuan didn’t.

In that brief glance, Gu Yuan saw the determination in Quan Yin’s eyes.

It was a man’s determination towards a woman.

She understood, this was something Quan Yin did for her to see, something he had to do. Once Quan Jin was gone, the remaining matters would naturally unfold as he envisioned.
