Zhao Youlin’s words were actually not wrong. Ever since Zhao Yifei was kicked out of the Zhao group, Zhao Youming had been less passive. Because she had left the company for a vacation, he had started to make bolder moves.

Unfortunately, he had underestimated his intelligence network. Even if she was abroad, she could still see clearly what he was doing now.

Zhao Youlin didn’t expect Sirius to be paying attention to another important detail in jer words.

“What, graduated early? Did you just say that he graduated early from our school?”

Sirius’s rare high-pitched tone made Zhao Youlin jump a little. “Yes, he probably returned this spring. It should be more than half a year now. At least, that’s what he told others after he returned.”

“What do you mean? That can’t be true! It’s impossible for our school to let anyone graduate early. Even if we have fulfilled all the credits, we can’t graduate early. At most, they’ll send you to a few more specialized courses. When you graduate, you’ll look better than others. That’s all.”

Zhao Youlin was shocked. “Is that true?”

“Of course it’s true. Why would I lie to you? If you don’t believe me, you can look it up on the internet.”

Zhao Youlin’s face darkened. If what Sirius said was true, then Zhao Youming had given yet another bald-faced lie. If that was the case…

A glint flashed across Zhao Youlin’s eyes. She suddenly turned to Sirius and said with a smile, “Sirius, I’ll ask you again. After so many years, have you never thought of taking revenge?”

Sirius’s expression changed slightly. He pursed his lips and said nothing.

A trace of slyness flashed across Zhao Youlin’s eyes. “Zhao Youming caused you so much misery back then. He scarred your life with a black stain that follows you no matter where you go, just like just now. Even though you have now climbed up to an enviable position, Lin Yan, who has not found as much success as you, could still throw that stain in your face, and you still find yourself helpless to refute his words. Compared to you, Zhao Youming, the actual culprit, not only has not received any punishment but is now in a high position and living a better life than anyone else. Are you going to stand by it?

Of course not! Sirius’s body trembled. He felt that the resentment that had been hidden in his heart for a long time starting to sprout and grow because of Zhao Youlin’s words.

However, he was not a brainless person. From what Zhao Youlin said just now, he had basically figured out the relationship between Zhao Youlin and Zhao Youming. What Zhao Youlin said now was nothing more than…

“You want to use me to help you deal with Zhao Youming?”

Zhao Youlin did not care about the bluntness in Sirius’ words. She went straight to the point, “I’m not using you. We’re using each other. I can help you destroy Zhao Youming’s reputation and experience the pain you went through because of him. You can also help me get what I want. There’s no profit or loss. We’re helping each other, killing two birds with one stone.”

Sirius fell silent. He had to admit that Zhao Youlin’s words were quite persuasive and enticing. The scales in his heart had actually begun to sway.

After hesitating for a long time, Sirius finally said, “What… is your plan exactly?”

Zhao Youlin knew that he had been tempted when she heard this. She smiled and said, “Do you still have family in the country?”

“Of course.”

“Are you close with them?”

“Of course.” After Sirius answered, he suddenly sensed something off. He turned to look at Zhao Youlin with a vigilant look. “Why are you asking this?”

“Don’t be nervous. I didn’t mean anything else.” Zhao Youlin waved her hand at Sirius, asking him to calm down, “Didn’t you just say that the reason why you haven’t thought about returning to Shalnork to develop is because you’re still holding a grudge? Now that you’re sitting in the position of Vice President of Kirsten’s company, who can look down on you if you go back?”

“You want me to go back to Shalnork?”

Zhao Youlin nodded.

Sirius’s eyes flickered, but he still shook his head and refused, “I’m sorry, I don’t have any plans to jump ship for the time being.”

He was very satisfied with his current job, and Kirsten could be said to be a saint to him. He was able to get to where he was today because of him, because of this company. He could not simply abandon his saint at this moment.

Zhao Youlin and Mu Tingfeng looked at each other and smiled. They almost immediately understood the meaning behind Sirius’ words. The corners of her lips curled up slightly. “I think you might have misunderstood. I don’t have any intention of letting you leave this company. There are many ways to return to the country.”

Sirius raised his eyebrows. “Such as?”

“For instance, the possibility of my family’s company cooperating with Kirsten’s company to collaborate on certain projects. As the person-in-charge of Kirsten’s company, it’s not impossible for you to follow us back to the country to take a look…”

Sirius’s eyes lit up slightly, but he did not agree to it just yet.

Zhao Youlin did not insist. “Of course, you still have to be willing to do such things. We won’t force you. We might have to stay here for a while. You can think about it before we go back. It’s not too late to give us an answer by the time we head back.”

After a pause, Sirius finally nodded and agreed.

Zhao Youlin also knew to stop when things were good. She turned to look at Mu Tingfeng. Mu Tingfeng understood and went forward to hold her hand. “We’ve been outside for a while. It’s time to go back.”

“Yes, we’ve been out for a long time. Kirsten should have finished greeting the guests, right? If he doesn’t see us, he’ll probably think that we’ve snuck away. It’s getting late. Let’s go in and talk to him. It’s time to go.”

Mu Tingfeng nodded. He supported Zhao Youlin and was about to walk in.

Zhao Youlin turned to look at Sirius and asked casually, “Aren’t you coming?”

Sirius forced a smile. “You guys go in first. I’ll be back in a while.”

Knowing that he needed some time to think about it, Zhao Youlin did not press him. She followed Mu Tingfeng back to the hall.

After Kirsten and Madonna greeted the guests, they couldn’t find Zhao Youlin and Mu Tingfeng. Sure enough, they thought that the two of them had snuck away when they weren’t paying attention. Just as they were feeling annoyed, they suddenly saw the two of them walking out of the door. Their eyes immediately lit up. They quickly walked up to them and asked, “Where did you two run off to? I thought you two had sneaked away.”

Zhao Youlin couldn’t help but laugh. She pretended to be angry and said, “What do you mean by sneaking away? If you want to run away, we would run away openly. Why do you need to sneak away?”

Kirsten smiled and didn’t refute.

The three of them chatted for a while. Mu Tingfeng suddenly said, “It’s getting late. We should go back.”
