Ren Jianzhong, who walked through the door, although itching to flush Lin Jie down the toilet, had to maintain a polite facade in front of An Kexin.

He handed the flowers to An Kexin, a charming smile spreading across his face, saying, "Kexin, I went to your company to find you, and the staff said you were here discussing things with guests. So I rushed over, hoping I wasn't interrupting."

Ren Jianzhong pulled two concert tickets from his pocket, saying excitedly, "I know you love Xiaoxiao's songs. I got you two VIP tickets for the concert from a friend."

"We can attend Xiaoxiao's concert after dinner."

An Kexin accepted the flowers, placing them aside, and forced a smile, declining, "Thank you for the invitation, but with the company's business adjustments, there's just too much going on. I really can't get away."

Ren Jianzhong's expression stiffened, turning his gaze to Lin Jie discontentedly, "You can't possibly be discussing company business with Lin Jie, right?"

"While discussing with Lin Jie isn't about business, what we talked about is many times more important!"

An Kexin felt it was necessary to clarify to Ren Jianzhong, and seriously said, "I've taken over the company not long ago and am still getting familiar. For the next few years, my focus will be on my career!"

"I haven't given personal matters any thought for now. I hope you understand."

Having said this much, Ren Jianzhong naturally understood that he had been gently rejected.

A flash of annoyance crossed his eyes, but he forced a smile, saying, "Since this is your decision, I respect it! Honestly, it was love at first sight for me, so I won't give up."

"I'm willing to wait, no matter how long it takes. I believe in the saying 'sincerity leads to success'!"

Ren Jianzhong placed the two concert tickets on the table, saying, "Kexin, don't work too hard. You need to rest and have entertainment too."

Having said that, he turned and suavely left the room.

Once the room door closed, An Kexin turned to Lin Jie, whispered, "Kemeng told me that Ren Jianzhong is a malicious, hypocritical guy, and warned me not to have any dealings with him!"

"Lin Jie, is this true?"

Lin Jie awkwardly smiled and admitted, "Indeed, this fellow naturally clashes with me and has provoked me a few times."

He then explained his clashes with Ren Jianzhong, concluding, "I suspect that during Kemeng's birthday party, Lu Yongnian's attack on me was also instigated by him."

An Kexin frowned and said, "Regardless, just by Ren Jianzhong wanting to pay for your medical idea shows his character is questionable."

"Anyway, let's not talk about Ren Jianzhong. What I said about focusing on my career wasn't just to brush him off."

She sighed, saying wistfully, "With Dad's health in such a state, I can't afford to think about other trivial matters. Lin Jie, if there's nothing more, let's call it a day. There's still a pile of things waiting for me at the company!"

"Alright! I don't have anything else."

Lin Jie stood up, his eyes lingering on the two concert tickets on the table.

Xiaoxiao is a newly risen pop star from Binhai in the past three to four years, known as a little diva.

She is not only pretty, but also has a sweet, wide-ranged, distinctive voice, having sung many popular songs that are adored by fans.

Lin Miao and Li Ting are both her loyal fans.

This is her first national tour, with Binhai being the first stop in the country. Tickets are selling exceptionally well, reportedly being snapped up by fans within ten minutes of sales opening.

Noticing Lin Jie's glances, An Kexin chuckled and said, "You also like Xiaoxiao's songs? You can have those two tickets. I'm not in the mood to attend the concert now."

Lin Jie awkwardly said, "I'm not really a fan of Xiaoxiao, but my sister is quite fond of her. Also, an old classmate of mine is a huge fan too."

Carrying the two tickets, Lin Jie couldn't resist calling Lin Miao as soon as he left the cafe, telling her he got tickets for Xiaoxiao's concert tonight.

Lin Miao immediately beamed with joy, exclaiming, "Brother, we're going to the concert together tonight! I'll go ask Master for leave right now."

"Not with me, with Li Ting!"

Lin Jie corrected, "Like you, she's also a huge fan of Xiaoxiao. She's been helping me with high school studies, so this is a little thank you."

Lin Miao sounded a bit unhappy, her voice slightly gloomy, "Alright, just that I really wanted to go to the concert with you, Brother."

"There will definitely be opportunities in the future, and then I promise you'll not only hear but see it!" Lin Jie reassured, "I'll pick you up before dinner! After we eat, I'll send you both to the concert."

After hanging up, Lin Jie called Li Ting.

Upon knowing Lin Jie had VIP tickets for Xiaoxiao's concert, Li Ting went wild with excitement, saying she was planning to try her luck at the venue for high-priced tickets tonight.

After agreeing on when and where to meet, Lin Jie headed toward the parking lot, only to be blocked by someone after a few steps.

Lin Jie looked up to see who it was, taking a step back, and cautiously said, "Ren Jianzhong, are you waiting for me because you think I ruined your plans?"

Ren Jianzhong sneered, saying dismissively, "You overestimate yourself. Even if you spout a train-load of bad things, it wouldn't affect me. For the An Family's further development, they need me."

"An Kexin might still be a bit naive, dreaming of romantic love, ignoring or overlooking this. But the cunning An Weize would know, I've focused my attack on the wrong point."

Lin Jie shook his head internally, watching the smug, self-important Ren Jianzhong.

Ren Jianzhong continued, "Lin Jie, I waited for you to warn you: for saving Kemeng that time, the An Family has already repaid you."

"The biggest taboo is being too greedy, and demanding repayment for favors is despicable. Moreover, Kemeng isn't someone you can covet or deserve."

"In the future, stay away from the An Family."

This speech didn't anger Lin Jie but amused him instead.

The way Ren Jianzhong spoke, he truly saw himself as the An Family's son-in-law and future head.

Lin Jie chuckled derisively, saying, "My actions are none of your business, nor is it your place to dictate them."

"Stay away from the An Family? Tell me again when you actually become their son-in-law!"

Having said that, Lin Jie brushed past Ren Jianzhong, heading toward his MINI.

Watching Lin Jie's retreating figure, Ren Jianzhong gritted his teeth in anger, wishing he could abandon all concerns and fiercely beat Lin Jie up then and there.
