Chapter 1: Does Heaven Reward Diligence, Although Late?
By the beach, the sea stretched endlessly.
It was vast and open, where the sky and water met.
Li Jing, wearing a white shirt, leaned his hands lazily on the slightly wet railing of the viewing deck, his expression indifferent, his gaze drifting towards a group of women in swimsuits playing by the beach.
The women’s graceful figures and lively spirit didn’t lift Li Jing’s gloomy mood this time.
"Hello, Manager Li, I’m Xiaojiang from Wanlei Company, about last month’s project..."
The phone rang, and a somewhat nervous female voice came through. Li Jing interrupted calmly before she could finish, "You don’t need to bother discussing cooperation on this project. The partner has already been internally decided by the leadership.
Also, I’ve been dismissed. Don’t call me next time."
"???"
At the last moment before hanging up, Li Jing vaguely heard the surprised and confused voice on the other end. He slightly raised his eyelids and looked towards the expansive sea.
Since childhood, Li Jing had always been a particularly diligent and serious person.
As a small-town student, although his family background was ordinary, he still achieved outstanding grades in high school and got into a prestigious university, choosing the then popular civil engineering major.
