Lina was surprised. “What?”
“I saw you studying the materials seriously, so I didn’t disturb you.”
Zuko gently stroked Lina’s face. She already had a small face, and now she appeared even thinner. Distressed, he
immediately called the hotel to order some food, specifically requesting tonic chicken soup.
As he pondered his own situation…
Despite having a fiancee, he couldn’t even hold hands with her these days. A few days ago, he finally got a chance
to go on a date with Lina, but she fell asleep as soon as she got in the car, showing no reservation.
Amused and helpless, he didn’t want to disturb her sleep, so he ended up driving around the streets, wanting to
spend more time with her. This led him to feel a bit sorry for himself, prompting him to call the hotel again and

Lina smiled and playfully pinched his face.
“When can you spare some time for me?” Zuko’s gaze was filled with grievances.
Softly, Lina replied, “The Thompson Group is going through a transition right now, and venture capital is indeed a
promising industry. Can you wait until I clearly understand the basics in this field?”
Zuko looked at the pile of documents on the desk and sighed softly. “You studied architectural art, and now you’re
so engrossed in studying economic investment!”
Though he sensed a touch of pretense in his tone, Lina just smiled without saying anything.
“Lina, I still hope you can draw architectural plans and build houses.” Zuko took a step closer to her and whispered
warmly in her ear, “Build a house just for me.”
Lina smiled playfully. “A golden house to keep you all to myself?”
Zuko’s eyes lit up. “Sure, sure, I don’t mind!”
“But I do!” Lina playfully knocked on his head. “You’re such a big guy! I can’t fit you in there. Think about how many
materials that would take!”
Both of them burst into laughter.
Suddenly, Zuko noticed a familiar document on the desk. It was the investment list that Desiree had given to Lina.
“You still have this?” He was quite surprised.
“Yes,” Lina replied calmly. “I’ve done detailed background checks on these companies. They’re all prominent
players in emerging industries. They’re not local companies in Centrolis, but they’re worth a try.”
Zuko narrowed his eyes.

After seeing this list the other day, he had discreetly investigated these companies. They all seemed promising, but
he still felt something was amiss.
He said in a low voice, “Lina, investing carries risks. I think you should be careful.”
“I understand.” Lina smiled. “But the Thompson Group is currently undergoing a transformation, and this list saves
me a lot of effort.”
“Be cautious in everything!”
“Okay.” Lina nodded in agreement.
After finishing lunch, Zuko hurried back to the company.
Lina stretched lazily. She was ready to get back to work, but her phone vibrated. It was a message from Desiree.
[Lina, how’s your consideration regarding those new companies I mentioned last time? Several entrepreneurs are
eager to meet! How about we arrange a meeting at the bar? It’s lively, and we’ll have a higher success rate
discussing matters there!]
Lina was momentarily stunned, but a sly glint flashed in her eyes. She replied with two words—[Sure thing.]
