Reborn to Outshine My Ex and His White Moonlight novel Chapter 305

Chapter 305: Chapter 305: A Friend

Chen Jin stood by, waiting for further instructions from Gong Chen.

Gong Chen didn’t speak. He reached for his lighter but couldn’t find it after a long search.

Chen Jin took out a lighter from his pocket to light it for him.

Gong Chen took a deep drag of his cigarette, his face silent and gloomy, even the sparks between his fingers trembled slightly.

After a long pause, through a light mist, he slowly said, "Go ahead."

"Yes."

Chen Jin cast a worried glance at Gong Chen before leaving to find Li Huan.

But no one was in Li Huan’s office.

It was only after a phone call that he learned Li Huan was helping with an event at the outpatient building.

There was some noise there, and Li Huan could only barely utter a sentence amidst shouting, clearly not a condition for discussing matters.

Chen Jin said he would go find him and then hung up the phone.

Just as he arrived at the outpatient building, the sunny weather from the morning suddenly turned into a torrential downpour.

Chen Jin frowned and was about to look for Li Huan when a car pulled up.

"Hi, Assistant Chen."

The car window was cracked open, and hearing that voice, Chen Jin was already feeling irritable.

Zhou Zhao.

He rolled down the window, revealing the two people in the back seat.

Sang Li and Lin Zhiyi.

Before Chen Jin could greet them, Lin Zhiyi, holding her phone, suddenly screamed in excitement and even grabbed Sang Li’s hand.

"Ah! My favorite school said they could interview me online! Do you know how high their bar is? I asked many people before daring to apply, and I didn’t expect them to actually respond."

"That school is quite far away," Sang Li glanced at the reply email.

Lin Zhiyi immediately snapped back to reality, realizing her reaction was overly enthusiastic.

She had previously promised Sang Li to go to the school he chose.

"Actually, passing the interview isn’t guaranteed."

"You don’t need to consider me; your future is the most important thing to you," Sang Li said with a smile.

"Thank you, I’ll treat you to a big meal later."

Lin Zhiyi was really too delighted, and after speaking, she realized that Chen Jin was still standing by the window.

Seeing him, she inevitably thought of that someone.

She toned down her excitement: "Assistant Chen."

"Mr. Sang, Miss Lin," Chen Jin greeted them politely, "Are you two here to..."

Sang Li explained, "My dad heard the news that Old Mr. Gong was hospitalized. He just returned to the country and had some matters to deal with, so he sent me to have a look."

"Alright, then I won’t disturb you both."

Chen Jin stepped back, but seeing Lin Zhiyi gazing at the email on her phone with a silly smile, he couldn’t help but think of Gong Chen’s lonely figure standing in the corridor.

"Miss Lin, actually..."

"What?" Lin Zhiyi looked up at Chen Jin.

Chen Jin remembered Gong Chen’s advice and said with pursed lips, "Actually, Old Mr. Gong is not in any serious trouble, and you don’t have to go up there to avoid hearing some unpleasant words."

"Thank you. I understand, I’ll just wait for Mr. Sang in the car later," Lin Zhiyi said gratefully.

"Sure."

Chen Jin nodded, preparing to leave.

Zhou Zhao called out to him, pushed up his sunglasses on the bridge of his nose, and said with a cheeky smile, "It’s pouring rain, how will you get back later? Don’t say I don’t look out for you as a friend, here, take my umbrella."

Zhou Zhao tossed his folded umbrella to Chen Jin, then drove away.

Chen Jin looked at the ordinary black umbrella in his hand, his expression significantly brightening.

At least Zhou Zhao is somewhat decent.

In the car.

Zhou Zhao pushed his sunglasses up, his mouth curving into a smile.

Lin Zhiyi just happened to see this, and asked, "Assistant Zhou, what are you smirking about?"

"Of course, it’s a revenge fulfilled."

"What do you mean?" Lin Zhiyi was clueless. _{ƒrēewebnovel.com}

Sang Li said irritably, "Never mind him, he’s just been spoiled by my dad; he’s not serious about his work."

Lin Zhiyi asked in surprise, "You two aren’t related, are you?"

"No, I’m a student sponsored by Mr. Sang. Because of my excellent grades, intelligence, and efficiency, I was recruited to be groomed by the Sang Family," Zhou Zhao said with a smile.

Lin Zhiyi clapped in accompaniment, "Actually, you could have left out the latter part."

After Chen Jin passed Gong Chen’s message to Li Huan, he also mentioned Gong Chen’s condition.
