?65: Chapter 65 Zhao Ritian 65: Chapter 65 Zhao Ritian The reply struck a chord with Lin Yifan.

    In fact, his general sentiment was this: without a stable job, how could he dare to marry a heiress?

    However, even if Director An never fired him, he would not accept Zhou Jiajia because that would mean living off a woman, maintaining a job through her connections.

    He didn’t want that and would never accept it.

    Afterward, he replied, “Thank you for your kindness, but I think I should have a career of my own; when I am successful, may I then come to marry you?”

    Receiving such a reply, Zhou Jiajia realized Lin Yifan was a proud man who wouldn’t easily accept charity from others.

    Since that was the case, she didn’t want to force Lin Yifan to accept her using charity anymore.

    So she replied, “What career do you want to pursue?

    I will help you in any way I can.”

    Zhou Jiajia wanted to struggle alongside Lin Yifan, to create a career that belonged to them both.

    Seeing these words, Lin Yifan, who was sitting on the office sofa, was stunned.

    Truthfully, he was moved.

    Zhou Jiajia truly liked him; it wasn’t a rash decision.

    But the reality was that he had little education and no head for business.

    Thus, establishing his own career was very difficult.

    He didn’t know when he would succeed, and Zhou Jiajia was already past thirty with few youthful years left.

    He didn’t want to delay her prime years, so he set a timeline for himself: “Give me one year.

    If I haven’t established my own career by then, you should stop waiting.”

    Zhou Jiajia understood Lin Yifan’s thoughts.

    Yet, she had already set her heart on Lin Yifan and would even wait until her hair turned white, if necessary.

    Thus, she replied, “If you don’t marry, then I shall never marry.”

    Looking at these words, Lin Yifan’s emotions couldn’t calm down for a long time.

    He hadn’t expected the beautiful Zhou Jiajia to be so infatuated.

    This moved him, but also gave him immense pressure.

    Afterward, he replied, “Why do you put yourself through this?”

    Zhou Jiajia replied, “If I can’t marry the man I love, what good is marriage?”

    “You make me feel guilty.”

    Zhou Jiajia replied, “I don’t care.

    I just like you.”

    “Our encounter was brief; I’m curious, what about me attracted you so deeply that you love me like this?”

    Zhou Jiajia replied, “When we shook hands in the elevator, I felt a tremendous sense of security.

    Moreover, your ability to stand firm against all odds makes me believe that you are a man worth entrusting my life to.”

    “Are you gambling your lifelong happiness on a feeling?

    Is it worth it?” Lin Yifan asked.

    “It is worth it!

    At least I’m sure of it now,” Zhou Jiajia replied.

    On the other side of the phone, Lin Yifan knew he couldn’t drive away this infatuated young woman, so he replied, “Alright!

    I won’t make you wait too long.

    But until I succeed, can we maintain our current relationship as colleagues?”

    After thinking for a moment, Zhou Jiajia replied, “Okay!”

    “Good!

    Let’s settle on that.

    You should go back to work; I won’t keep you any longer.”

    “Okay!”

    After the conversation, Lin Yifan lay on the sofa, blankly staring at the ceiling, unsure whether what he was doing was right or wrong.

    Seeing him lying on the sofa, the beautiful assistant Wang Xiaolin found an opportunity to seduce him.

    So she immediately walked over.

    She approached the sofa and then leaned over to ask, “Mr.

    Lin, are you okay?”

    Lin Yifan immediately got angry, cursing inwardly: “Damn it, trying to tempt me to commit a sin again.

    If you like me, can’t you use a more normal method?”

    He quickly closed his eyes and replied coolly, “I’m fine!

    Go on with your work.”

    “Hmph!

    All flushed and yet you say you’re fine.

    I wonder how long you can last!”

    Feeling dejected, Wang Xiaolin went back to her desk to work.

    After Wang Xiaolin left, Lin Yifan felt he was in big trouble.

    One after another, these romantic entanglements left him frazzled, unsure of how to deal with them.

    Su Qingqing was pure and lovely, but too unfamiliar to talk of love.

    Wang Xiaolin was full of allure, with dishonest intentions, yet had a captivating figure.

    Zhou Jiajia was virtuous and charming, willing to marry no one else but him, though there was a large difference in their social statuses.

    All three had their own strengths and weaknesses.

    Choosing anyone would be a loss.

    However, forced to make a choice, he would choose Zhou Jiajia for she was excellent in many aspects and had made her intentions very clear, which gave him a sense of security.

    But Zhou Jiajia was a heiress; how would he afford to keep her?

    He thought about the career he had just discussed.

    But business, where would he find it?

    Where would he start it?

    After considering various industries, he thought he could start a chain gym business or open a bodyguard company.

    But all these required funds, and he clearly had no money at the moment.

    “Money!

    Where am I supposed to get the money?”

    While he was lost in thought, someone entered the office.

    The visitor was a man in a wheelchair, his body almost entirely encased in a plaster cast.

    Behind him, four bodyguards followed, one of whom was pushing the wheelchair.

    Seeing the person in the wheelchair, Wang Xiaolin was astonished, “Isn’t that Zhao Ritian from the Zhao Group?

    How did he end up like this?”

    Curious as she was, she still needed to inquire.

    Therefore, she stood up and politely asked, “Mr.

    Zhao, is there anything I can help with?”

    Staring at Wang Xiaolin’s provocative body, Zhao Ritian couldn’t help but swallow his saliva, obviously stimulated.

    “What a stunner!”

    Seeing Zhao Ritian’s lustful gaze, Wang Xiaolin knew that he was mesmerized by her.

    However, she felt no pride but rather disgust, as Zhao Ritian was engaged and yet harboring fantasies about other women, which was truly despicable.

    Now, she felt a bit sorry for Director An, who was about to marry such a lascivious fiance?.

    To break the awkward silence, she once again politely asked, “Mr.

    Zhao, is there anything I can help with?”
