Three years later. Lin Zhi's 29th birthday.
Fu Juanzhou's gift: an equity transfer agreement—5% GP interest in his fund's highest-performing secondaries vehicle.
Only one condition:
Vesting Period: 4 years with 1-year cliff
Lin Zhi stared at the line and suddenly understood:
This was the longest confession he was capable of.
Four years of cohabitation.
One-year cliff.
Fail to stay, everything zeroes out.
She looked up at him—no negotiation voice this time.
"Fu Juanzhou, aren't you afraid I'll grab the carry and run?"
He laughed like a hunter who finally saw the prey walk into the trap willingly.
"Run? Lin Zhi, you might run with the equity,
but can you run from me?"
