Chapter Seventy-One: Needless Doub (1/2)

t

Yan Jin got caught up in his thoughts.

Needless to say, this jewelry box design was very, very familiar to him…

After searching for so many years, just as he was about to see the light at the end of the tunnel, Yan Jin suddenly got cold feet.

There was a voice deep in his heart that told him over and over again – Yes, it is. This is the person. This is his Mr. Mystery.

The name Mr. Mystery was a name that Yan Jin had given to Fish and Hamster – You Can’t Have Both.

When they were fighting with SI for that overseas billionaire’s deal, YL won the deal that was worth a thousand bricks of gold and the chance for a priceless collaboration with just one drawing that had no name signed on it.

When Yan Jin stood in front of a group of conniving old foxes in SI corporation’s meeting room, he could not use the hilarious name Fish and Hamster – You Can’t Have Both. Instead, he told the audience that the designer who saved them in this desperate crisis was Mr. Mystery.

The mystery designer, Mr. Mystery.

Because they called him the mystery designer, he should remain anonymous.

The people from SI could tell that Yan Jin was messing with them, but they could not do anything about it.

It was true that he was messing around – Yan Jin had long grown tired of those people who liked to flaunt their seniority, so he made use of that opportunity to mock them to his heart’s content – that was Yan Jin’s original intention.

However, the name Mr. Mystery was not created because he wanted to fool them.

In his life, there was a Mr. Mystery who had appeared before. A person who connected his past and future, yet left no clues behind – it was Mr. Mystery.

After pondering for a long time, Yan Jin finally thought of how he should word his question.

… Have you designed anything other than jewelry?

Yan Jin thought he would be very nervous, but he was not. When he raised that question, his emotions were surprisingly calm.

Before even replying, he already knew the answer.

He once said that so long as this designer appeared before him, he would definitely be able to recognize them.

Yan Jin had never lied before.

He would not overestimate his own abilities, so when he said ‘I can’, it meant that he would definitely be able to do it.

However –

[Fish and Hamster – You Can’t Have Both]: Never ever.

Yan Jin felt helpless.

If someone else was rejected so resolutely, perhaps he would doubt on his own judgement. But Yan Jin would not.

He knew the reason Fish and Hamster – You Can’t Have Both replied that way was because the other party had yet to realize what type of designer he was.

He had once heard from the most respected person in his life that it was very rare for a designer’s style and standards to change because of the client and their requests. But it was not impossible. When there was a designer with such characteristics, more often than not, they would face restrictions from their official career because of their outstanding talent and capability. Their extraordinary talent would be restricted by the supposed ‘company’s philosophy’ as well as the client’s request and end up unable to show off their true capability.

The ingenuity that no mortals could fathom would only be released when they could express themselves freely.

And the person that Yan Jin respected the most was the same type of designer. In all his works, only the jewelry that he designed because of his job was unable to warm people’s hearts.

It was highly possible that Fish and Hamster – You Can’t Have Both was that type of designer as well. In addition, it seemed that he himself had not realized it.

Yan Jin had a way to verify if Fish and Hamster – You Can’t Have Both was really his Mr. Mystery. He had a lot that he wanted to say and much more that he wanted to tell Mr. Mystery.

But now was not the time.

Yan Jin sighed.

The Autumn Release Conference was just before his eyes. It was less than twelve hours before the official opening. If he were to acknowledge Fish and Hamster – You Can’t Have Both right now, YL may have to give up on this year’s Autumn Release Conference.

In that instant, Yan Jin certainly felt that the Autumn Release Conference was really trivial… but thankfully such thoughts quickly disappeared.

Suppressing his urges, Yan Jin confirmed the display method for the exhibition item with Fish and Hamster – You Can’t Have Both. Then, he contacted Secretary Fang and threw the file to his employees to plan and dragged the design director up to amend the color coordination…

Chairman Yan’s energetic drive influenced the entire group of YL employees. They did not dare to slack as they cautiously and conscientiously did whatever task was asked of them – no one even grumbled about staying up through the night.

It was four hours before the Autumn Release Conference would begin. They had finally settled everything.

Yan Jin rubbed his temples as he leaned on the couch with his eyes closed.

Because of the overexcitement last night, the passion that burned in his heart was too strong. It was nice that he had finished his work, but the fatigue after the work was done was also surprisingly strong.

In just a quick moment, Yan Jin accidentally fell asleep.

It was rare for him to dream of something that had happened a very, very long time ago.

……

He once thought that there would be nothing worth anticipating in his life ever again.

He had come back from overseas and would take everything that belonged to him. He would send those sinners to hell and then, then nothing else.

His life had already come to an end long ago. The person he was right now only continued existing in this world in order to fulfill some regrets that he had.

Yan Jin once thought that he had already planned what he should be doing everyday in his future. Next, all he had to do was to routinely complete those tasks, wait for the results, and then everything would come to an end – even if everything included himself.

Until he took over YL.

Allowing him to take over YL was no doubt a stupid move made by the Yan family. It was so stupid that Yan Jin did not even consider including it into his plans.

However, so what? It just quickened the progress of his victory.

That was what he thought back then. Now, he was extremely grateful to the Yan family for such a stupid move.

He could even say that the reason the Yan family was still struggling on whilst at death’s door right now was undoubtedly because YL had become the beacon of light that brightened Yan Jin’s boring life.
