Two days later, I started working at CES.
It was Zexiu's idea, he thought it was better for me to loiter around in front of his brother. I mustered the courage to tell him the truth that I was actually a veterinarian and that I had always planned to resign, but he wasn't surprised at all.
"I've known for a while," he said calmly, "My brother knows too."
"Did Uncle Lin tell you?" I asked, astonished.
He shook his head with a smile, "Even before that. In fact, we investigated you after Mr. Dou appeared. I'm sorry, Xiao Xin, we didn't intend to investigate you, but Mr. Dou is young and yet well-known in the financial sector with many successful company acquisitions; CES is a public company in a competitive and hazardous environment, so we had to be cautious."
I was shocked, unaware that Dou Nan was such an important figure. In front of me, he always seemed like a big boy, and I never imagined him to be a powerful influence in society.
