Chapter 271: One Man's Loss May Be Another's Gain

klessly charging into the smoke for her, my heart felt warm, with a strange and indescribable feeling. 。Half an hour later, Fu Mo'han came back again, holding a list of names in his hand. 。"Look, who...Zheng Mengyao's one sentence focused everyone's attention on Lin Jinran.

Lin Jin's delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly, and it was clear that she could sense Zheng Mengyao's words weren't genuine.

The surrounding colleagues, with expressions clearly showing they were watching a show, waited to see how Lin Jinran would explain himself.

Lin Jin's face remained composed, not the slightest hint of panic. She replied with a gentle smile, "I was just helping my husband's younger brother find some ideas for his grandfather's gift. Miss Zheng put quite a lot of effort into her outfit that day, and my husband mentioned it in private."

"What did he say" Zheng Mengyao couldn't help but ask when she heard that Fu Mo寒 had mentioned her in private.

Lin Jinran's face was a little hesitant, and he said softly, "I told you, Miss Zheng, don't be angry. My husband said it's 'imitating the beauty of Dong Shi.'"

Zheng Mengyao's smile froze on her face. She hadn't expected Lin Jinyan to be so sharp-tongued and dare to speak to her so directly.

Okay, good.

Just wait, she'll definitely let Lin Jinran know who gets the last laugh!

People around them could also sense that there was some tension between the two.

Tang Wanting's beautiful eyes darted between the two of them, but she didn't continue the topic. She had something else to say.

She clapped her hands, drawing the attention back to her. "There's also a second thing. Currently, two of our department's works have entered the fifth round."

After she finished speaking, everyone was full of anticipation.

After all, only three people entered the fourth round, and only two people enter the fifth round. This means that one person was eliminated.

At this time, Lin Jinran always felt that someone was watching her. She turned her head and saw Zhao Qin looking at her from afar, a smirk playing on the corner of her lips.

< Seemingly mocking her. >

Lin Jinran lightly pursed her lips. She was already satisfied to have reached the fourth round. Whether she entered or not, she was content. Entering or being eliminated was a kind of experience for her.

Tang Wanting's beautiful eyes swept across the people in the room and she smiled, "These are works by Xu Xiaoxiao and Zhao Qin. They both entered, and they performed very well."

"Clap, clap, clap." A burst of applause and discussion erupted around.

"Wow, you've made it to the fifth round! That's amazing."

"Yeah, Xu Assistant and Zhao Qin are still the most capable."

The surrounding area was filled with a constant buzz of chatter and discussion.

Lin Jinran also sent her sincere blessings, hoping that this could improve the relationship between colleagues to some extent.

After Tang Wanting had said everything she needed to say, she clapped her hands, restoring silence to the room. "Meeting adjourned," she announced.

Everyone holding the bags given by Zheng Mengyao crowded around Zheng Mengyao and Xu Xiaoxiao, thanking her profusely and introducing themselves, creating quite a lively scene.

Compared to Lin Jinran's side, no one cared whether she was eliminated.

She carried her bag and walked silently out the door. Watching a few people surround Zhao Qin as they returned to the office, Lin Jinran simply went to the restroom first.

Pushing open the bathroom door, Lin Jinran happened to see Hou Shao come out of his single room. Her eyes narrowed, "I heard you were eliminated"

Lin Jinran was quite surprised. She didn't expect Hou Shao's news to be so well-informed. She nodded, "Well, I fell."

"Sometimes losing something can turn out to be a blessing in disguise, so don't despair too much."

"Well, I know." Lin Jinyan wouldn't be too sad. Since she couldn't get in, it meant she still had room for improvement and areas that needed more effort.

——

A day flies by.

After work, Lin Jinran originally wanted to go to Nancheng Martial Arts Hall. She had registered several days ago. If she hadn't been delayed by something, she should have come over to learn it earlier.

Alas, menstruation has arrived, so she could only resign herself to taking the carriage back to Fu Residence.

She walked into the living room and when she saw the elderly man sitting there, her pupils dilated in surprise as she exclaimed, "Grandpa, how did you get here"ed from his gut, threatening to overwhelm him.He strode forward, grabbed her hand, and Ye Xiao ruthlessly pulled Lin Jinran up, saying coldly, "Lin Jinran, do you think that by starving yourself, I wi...
