The meeting concluded, and Ye Tian returned home with Lin Ziyi to see Jiang Wenxing.
On the way, Ye Tian said, "Ziyi, this Zhou Qin is very capable. How did you discover her?"
To be so heavily relied upon within a short span of one year, Zhou Qin must have displayed extraordinary qualities.
Lin Ziyi smiled and replied, "As you know, I became president by chance, and I'm not always proficient in many matters. Once, a meeting I had prepared was lost before it could be printed. I felt unlucky and decided to rewrite it. At that time, Zhou Qin, who was still handling miscellaneous tasks, actually said she remembered the content. You see, I had only asked her to proofread it once, and I never expected her to memorize the content. She left a deep impression on me then."
Ye Tian remarked, "This one incident alone is probably not enough for you to rely on her so heavily."
Lin Ziyi nodded. "Indeed. What made me start paying attention to her was another incident. Once, a boss from Hong Kong wanted our dealership rights. Hong Kong is an international city, and I had been considering opening a flagship store there. So, both sides were negotiating well. But just as I was about to sign the contract, Zhou Qin, who was my secretary, reminded me that the boss from Hong Kong might not be satisfied with our conditions."
"I took heed of her words and asked a friend in Hong Kong to investigate. It turned out that he only had a shell company. The consequences of cooperating with him could be imagined. Later, I asked Zhou Qin how she concluded that the person was a fraud. She told me that she found too many inconsistencies in numerous details. She also said that if there were too many inconsistencies, then there was definitely a problem."
Lin Ziyi smiled. "As it turned out, Zhou Qin is very capable. If she hadn't been by my side helping me these past few months, I wouldn't have managed the company so well."
Ye Tian commented, "If her character is sound, you can entrust her with important responsibilities later on."
Lin Ziyi stated, "The strategic department is very important. If she performs to our satisfaction, I've decided to let her expand our overseas business."
As they spoke, they had already arrived home.
As the car reached the entrance, Ye Tian suddenly said, "Ziyi, you go home first. I'll take a walk outside."
Lin Ziyi didn't ask further and returned home to meet Ye Shaodong and the others.
Ye Tian turned and walked towards a nearby grove of trees. Standing at the edge of the woods, he said calmly, "Come out."
A figure emerged from behind a large tree. She was wearing a black leather suit, a black mask, and a black hat, making her blend almost seamlessly with the surroundings, making her difficult to spot.
"How did you know I was looking for you?" the woman asked, her right hand held behind her back.
Ye Tian replied, "Your physique is very peculiar. You have the breathing rhythm of Qi cultivation, yet your blood circulation has reached the level of a Martial King. If I'm not mistaken, you've taken gene-enhancing medicine, haven't you?"
The woman was inwardly shocked, as everything Ye Tian said was accurate!
Ye Tian continued, "Your left side is noticeably stiffer than your right, indicating you've been injured. Alright, state your purpose."
The woman's right hand, gripping a syringe, hesitated to aim at Ye Tian. Ye Tian's words had already instilled fear in her.
Ye Tian observed her and asked, "Are you here to kill me?"
The woman was startled again. Just as she was about to make a move, her shoulder suddenly ached, and the syringe fell to the ground.
Ye Tian glanced at it and said indifferently, "What era is this? Still using hidden weapons."
The woman turned and fled. This person was too powerful; she was no match for him!
She ran through the woods, across a green belt, and into a car. The moment the car door closed, she felt the car body sink slightly. She quickly turned and found Ye Tian sitting in the back seat.
Ye Tian touched the leather seats and chuckled, "This car of yours is quite nice. A 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8 engine, with a 0-100 km/h acceleration of 3.6 seconds."
The woman's body stiffened. "How did you get in?"
Ye Tian stated, "If I don't let you leave, you'll never be able to leave. Now, tell me who ordered you to kill me."
The woman gritted her teeth. Her right hand suddenly shot out like a viper, and a dagger appeared in her hand.
However, before the dagger was halfway out, Ye Tian grabbed her shoulder. The woman immediately felt her body weaken and let out a muffled groan. Then, she experienced intense pain throughout her body and cried out in agony.
Ye Tian said, "I have a hundred ways to make you talk, including hypnotizing your mind. You wouldn't want me to hypnotize you and reveal more secrets, would you?"
Despair filled the woman. She closed her eyes and said, "Just kill me!"
