Rich Parents Found Me After I Got a Tycoon System? Yeah, I'm Not Interested

Chapter 218: Chapter 218: I’m Looking for Lu Yunque

Although she’d made an easy ten million from this contract, Yun Zijin still hadn’t gotten what she truly wanted.

It also made Yun Zijin realize that the permit to build her own manor wouldn’t be so easy to obtain.

Once the contract was signed, Lin Yan took the Moonlight Grass Seeds and headed straight for the Agricultural Research Institute.

As for the ten million for the Moonlight Grass Seeds, Lin Yan said it would likely be transferred to Yun Zijin’s account within twenty-four hours.

Seeing that Yun Zijin’s spirits were low after signing the contract, Mei Lin offered some words of comfort.

"You don’t need to be discouraged, Miss. I will help you get the permit for the manor."

The most important part of Mei Lin’s programming was to serve Yun Zijin well, and making her happy was one of those parameters.

"It’s fine. I never expected to get the permit just with the Moonlight Grass anyway. I can wait."

’If it really comes down to it, I’ll just have to play my trump card.’

Mei Lin said no more, but her mind was already churning with plans.

Unaware of the schemes brewing in Mei Lin’s mind, Yun Zijin asked Wang Minli to put the contract away. Then, she picked up the fresh snacks and meal the kitchen had prepared and got ready to head out.

The previous night, Lu Yunque had complained to her about having to deal with a mountain of paperwork the moment he got back to the office. He was so busy he didn’t even have time to eat.

In the spirit of their recent pleasant interactions, Yun Zijin decided to bring Lu Yunque a meal.

’And I can complete this week’s spending KPI while I’m at it.’

It was Friday, the last day, and she still had to spend another two million to complete her task.

"Miss, are you really going to bring Mr. Lu a meal? Is that... appropriate?"

Wang Minli was worried. After all, the two of them weren’t an official couple. If the young Miss went to the Lu Group to deliver a meal to their President Xiao Lu just like that, there was no telling what kind of rumors would start.

Wang Minli had been in housekeeping for decades and had her own information network within the circles of the wealthy. She knew many secrets of the rich and powerful.

’And for a man like Lu Yunque, who knew how many women were lining up to throw themselves at him.’

’I hope our young Miss doesn’t get bullied.’

"It’s fine. The Lu Group and I are business partners, so to speak. As a partner, visiting the president of the Lu Group should be a perfectly valid reason, right?"

’Mhm, the Lu Group still has to pay me rent every quarter.’

’For that piece of land Lu Yunque lost to me when we first met.’

Since Yun Zijin put it that way, Wang Minli couldn’t press the issue further. She simply watched Yun Zijin’s departing figure with a worried expression.

After Yun Zijin left, Mei Lin headed out as well.

She had to go handle the new industry venture in C City.

There was also the suspected murder to wrap up.

Zero One and his team weren’t robots, after all. There was a limit to what they could find through the internet.

But Mei Lin was different. She could effortlessly access anyone’s electronic devices through the network, cross-reference information against massive databases, and quickly extract what was useful.

The scope of what Mei Lin could find was far more comprehensive and extensive than what Zero One’s team could manage.

Meanwhile, Yun Zijin was on her way to the Lu Group.

She had left after rush hour, so the drive to the Lu Group Building was smooth.

To avoid any misunderstandings, Yun Zijin had Zero One and his team wait for her at a nearby coffee shop while she went into the Lu Building alone.

’The last time I was at the Lu Group, it was to discuss the West Suburb Land. I never thought my second visit would be to deliver a meal to Lu Yunque.’

The receptionist and the security guard both recognized Yun Zijin. The guard didn’t stop her from entering the Lu Building, but the receptionist still had her sign in.

However, considering Yun Zijin wasn’t a Lu Group employee, the receptionist was very helpful and pressed the elevator button for her.

The moment Yun Zijin was gone, the receptionist started blowing up the no-bosses-allowed company group chat.

—1F Receptionist: AHHH!

—1F Receptionist: You guys will NEVER guess who just showed up!

—1F Receptionist: She came once before, and Assistant Mo himself came down to get her!

—1F Receptionist: She’s SO beautiful! I wanted to ask what her skincare routine is. We were so close when she was signing in, and I swear I couldn’t see a single flaw!

—1F Receptionist: AHHHHHHHH! How can anyone be so perfect! Our president is one lucky man!

—2F Sales: Receptionist, have you lost your mind?

—3F Admin: Is she really that pretty? Aren’t you exaggerating a little?

—4F HR: I think I just saw her in the elevator. She is gorgeous, for sure. But Reception, are you sure she’s here for the president? There are plenty of other single guys in this company, you know.

Yun Zijin had no idea what a storm her arrival had kicked up in the Lu Group’s employee chat, or that the commotion showed no signs of dying down.

Yun Zijin hadn’t told Lu Yunque she was coming to bring him a meal. So, when she took the elevator to the top floor and stepped out, she immediately drew the attention of quite a few people.

It was mainly because Yun Zijin was dressed in the unmistakable style of a young lady from a wealthy family. The watch on her wrist alone was worth at least a million.

She was also carrying a food container, and of all the people on the top floor, only the president was a suitable age match for her.

However, the secretaries in the President’s Office were well aware of their boss’s ascetic nature, so they subconsciously assumed Yun Zijin had simply gotten off on the wrong floor.

"Hello, who are you here to see?"

It was mostly because Yun Zijin had a completely disarming face. All the young women in the President’s Office looked at her with the gentle eyes of an older sister.

"I’m looking for Lu Yunque."

’I’ve come this far, no point in hiding it now.’

Hearing her words, the secretaries all fell into a strange silence.

"You’re here for the president?"

The speaker’s expression was... well, it was hard to describe.

Yun Zijin nodded, confirming the secretary’s suspicion.

"The president is in a meeting with the vice president right now. Why don’t you... have a seat and wait?"

’The front desk must have let her up, so she’s registered. We don’t have to worry about her causing any trouble.’

"Thank you."

Yun Zijin sat down on a nearby sofa in the guest waiting area and placed the food container on the table.

Then, she took an exquisite little pouch from her handbag and offered it to the secretary who had just spoken.

"My family made these candies for me. Would you like some?"

These were the ’happy candies’ from her ’happy candy jar’. For portability, she had found a small pouch—probably from some designer brand—in her walk-in closet to pack them in.

’I can’t share the meal and snacks I brought for Lu Yunque, but the happy candies are fine. I brought two bags with me today.’

The secretary’s eyes lit up, surprised that this sweet young woman was offering them candy.

"Of course! Let me give you a snack, too. This is some chocolate I bought, it’s really good!"

"Me too, me too! Here are some cookies I bought."

"I’ve got a cupcake!"

...

Yun Zijin had only offered a few pieces of candy, but in no time, the table in front of her was piled high with all sorts of snacks.

Just then, the door to the president’s office opened from the inside. A slightly portly man of about thirty-five walked out first, followed by Mo Bin.

Mo Bin immediately spotted Yun Zijin sitting in the waiting area of the President’s Office, a look of surprise on his face.
