Chapter 01 An Unexpected Encounter

Zhu Jiabao sighed: "Yizhen, when I joined the finance department, I started as a basic cashier. When I entered this industry, your father taught me a lot. In my heart, I have always regarded him as a mentor. This time, he has truly lost his way. But rest assured, I will definitely help if I can. I will go to Mr. Lou to plead for you. However, based on my understanding of Mr. Lou, he has always detested such matters. But rest assured, I will definitely help if I can. I will go to Mr. Lou to plead for you. However, based on my understanding of Mr. Lou, he has always detested such matters. Whether I can be of assistance, I really have no confidence."

In those years, in order to treat his mother's illness, the father sold the family's only property. Over the years, the father and daughter have been living in rented accommodations. With the rapid increase in housing prices in Luohai City, landlords frequently raised the rent every few days. The father and daughter had no choice but to keep changing residences and moving, and now they have even relocated to the suburban area, where the house is so small that it barely allows for turning around.

This tone is quite arrogant, implying that he is meddling in others' affairs. Lou Yuanqiao felt a surge of anger in his heart and, without knowing how, blurted out: "I am her man"

Why would Cui Xin be so targeted towards me? Look at me, with my round figure and round face, I pose no threat to her whatsoever. And you—

Ren Yizhen was momentarily taken aback, locking eyes with him through the rain curtain. Lou Yuanqiao expressionlessly repeated once more: "Get in the car"

He is jealous, he is actually jealous... By some strange twist of fate, the next decision made by Lou Yuanqiao was to kiss her alluring lips

Luo Yuanqiao irritably tossed aside the documents and pressed the intercom button: "I want to inspect each department."

Moreover, at that time, Lou Yuanqiao had not considered marriage in the long term at all. He simply did not suppress his impulses. If he wanted to see her, he would go to the coffee shop. If he did not want to see her, he would find joy within his own circle.

On that occasion, Lou Yuanqiao silently watched the frail figure of Ren Yizhen as she departed. It was unclear whether it was her words that had moved him, but he suddenly felt a subtle and indescribable emotion rising within him towards her

Why hasn't Uncle Nanlin repaid the money after such a long time

Finally, Ren Yizhen pushed the door open and stepped outside. She handed him a napkin and asked, "Are you alright?"

I want to take her away. As for this person, I suspect that he is abusing drugs at your establishment and may even be in possession of illegal substances. You may handle this matter as you see fit.

Ren Yizhen had no other choice but to seek help from Lou Yuanqiao

In the following days, Lou Yuanqiao no longer appeared. Ren Yizhen let out a slight sigh of relief

Rest assured. Regarding your father's situation, only I, General Lou, and a few trusted aides around General Lou are aware of it within the company; it has not spread internally. If this is what you are concerned about, you need not worry at all

Ren Shuiping seemed to have anticipated this outcome long ago and accepted it with great composure: "So be it. In terms of integrity, it was my father who made a mistake, and I should accept the punishment."

However, it was never anticipated that one day, more than half a year later, Ren Yizhen's life would undergo a tremendous transformation

I want to lose weight and eat less

She pondered for a few seconds and replied, "Alright. Thank you, Manager Zhu."

Ren Yizhen pondered for a moment and said, "Manager, how about this: you all go ahead, and I will take responsibility for locking up tonight." The manager thought for a while and nodded, saying, "That works too. But you must pay attention to your safety while you are alone."

"Where have you gained weight? I didn't notice it at all"

When she returned, Lou Yuanqiao was no longer there. Another waiter, Lu Lu, said to her: "The gentleman who just left said to give you the remaining money as a tip"

With the aid of her memory, Ren Yizhen accompanied the unsteady Lou Yuanqiao down to the ground floor. Ren Yizhen no longer dared to take a step forward, merely saying: "Mr. Lou, please go home and rest well"

"Dad, how can you trust Uncle Lin so much?" Ren Yizhen said anxiously.

Ren Yizhen did not want to disturb him, so she dimmed the lights in the store

Ren Yizhen personally went to the kitchen and prepared a cup of strong honey water for him.

Ren Yizhen was caught off guard, and her heart suddenly skipped a beat

In these past few years, Ren Shuiping has been constantly thinking about buying a house for Ren Yizhen in Luohai, even if it is just a small apartment of forty to fifty square meters. He often says: "A person without a house is like a floating duckweed without roots, drifting aimlessly, lacking a sense of security. I must find a way to buy a house, no matter what."

Luo Yuanqiao flipped through the menu, ordered a coffee and a steak. Ren Yizhen placed her order and then went to attend to other guests

Once this large hat was placed on him, Zhu Jiabao could no longer plead for Ren Shuiping

That night when she encountered Lou Yuanqiao again, it was at a high-end club. Due to the small number of staff in the company, she was taken by the company's boss, Liu, to entertain clients.

A few days later, Lou Yuanqiao came again, and he specifically chose a corner by the window.

That night, after he settled the bill, he sat quietly in the car. She soon came out of the store and waved goodbye to her colleagues

That night, he worked until they were about to close, and as before, he left her more than 80 coins as a tip. She, however, left the change he had placed on the table untouched.

Ren Yizhen held an umbrella while taking the bus home. Just as she arrived at the door, her phone rang.

That afternoon, Lou Yuanqiao suppressed his urge to see her and opened the document. As a result, he spent a full half hour reading, yet he did not finish the document.

That little bit of money was saved by her through frugal living while working part-time during university, and with the support of her boyfriend Song Zhengfeng, it was merely a drop in the bucket compared to such a large sum of money

On this day, the subordinates are making a report

Her voice was trembling. Lou Yuanqiao did not know what was wrong with her, but she reached out and opened the car door: "Get in."

so-so

That evening, she saw Lou Yuanqiao again at the coffee shop, accompanied by a girl.

She placed the change from last time on the table: "Mr. Lou, you don't need to give such a large tip." Lou Yuanqiao remained silent and began to eat.

A few friends nearby noticed his appearance and realized that he was already angry. At this moment, the manager in charge of the club hurried over after receiving the news: "Mr. Lou, what seems to be the problem?"

As for the company’s proprietress, ever since Ren Yizhen joined the company, she has been extremely anxious, unable to eat or sleep well day and night. Now that she has voluntarily resigned, it truly resolves a concern for her. She then whispered to her husband, "Forget it, just let her go. If she makes a fuss at the labor department, won’t we be the ones to suffer? What I fear the most is that if others in the office start resigning in the same manner, it will become troublesome— we are porcelain, and she is a tile. Forget it, it’s better to avoid trouble than to invite more." What I fear the most is that if others in the office start resigning in the same manner, it will become troublesome— we are porcelain, and she is a tile. Forget it, it’s better to avoid trouble than to invite more.

"Elder brother—" Lou Lvqiao chuckled lightly, her beauty unparalleled.

Liu Yuanqiao scoffed coldly, "We are all men here. Do you think I don't know the little schemes in your heart? I warn you, keep your distance from her in the future, otherwise, I will make sure you regret it"

Hehe. When I have a boyfriend, I won't know where I will be placed.

However, what Ling Louyuanqiao had not anticipated was that the number of times he wanted to see her was increasing, becoming more and more frequent. Every time he thought of her, he would become lost in a daze.

Ren Yizhen could not explain the situation in Lou Yuanqiao's office, so she silently lowered her eyes and handed her the documents that Secretary Lin had instructed her to give to Manager Liang: "This is what Secretary Lin instructed me to give to Manager Liang"

"Where is Zhen?" I just left the company and am preparing to go home. Ren Yizhen did not inform Song Zhengfeng about her resignation. At this moment, it is difficult to explain the situation clearly.

Fortunately, during the occasional free time at the coffee shop, Ren Yizhen was able to learn how to make coffee from the baristas. Over these days, she has gained a basic understanding of the craft.

Ren Yizhen looked up as if she had been electrocuted, her mouth opening and closing for a long time before she finally scolded, "Dad, what nonsense are you talking about!"

However, she will never know that her employment at the Lou Corporation was entirely arranged by Lou Yuanqiao through Zhu Jiabao

He did not even lift his head, simply saying: "Make me a cup of coffee. Black coffee will do." Ren Yizhen was taken aback. Lou Yuanqiao's next sentence had already arrived, "The coffee machine is in the lounge to your right."

Ren Yizhen: "Mr. Lou, I do not need you to escort me. I only ask that you show mercy and spare my father this time. He is truly suffering from a terminal illness; this is his test report. The doctor said he does not have much time left..." She rummaged through her bag and handed the test report to him with both hands.

Ren Yizhen replied with a smile, "My boyfriend." Cui Xin's gaze shifted, "So you have a boyfriend. Why have I never seen him come to pick you up"

At that moment, Lou Yuanqiao felt a slight softness in her heart

"Is it not possible?" Lou Yuanqiao retorted to her in this manner

I am her boss. And you, who are you? Sir, this is a matter between her and me

Since that night, Ren Yizhen always felt a sense of fear when she saw him, often experiencing an impulse to avoid him

In this day and age, the most concerning issue is when companies hire individuals whose abilities do not match their job responsibilities

Ren Yizhen felt a blockage in her chest and an inexplicable confusion in her heart

Thereafter, Cui Xin's attitude towards her indeed softened.

In fact, when she woke up that day and saw him sleeping on his side, she was utterly stunned, unable to move for a full minute

Ren Yizhen could only silently endure her scolding until she had vented her anger, and then returned to her seat

After a while, Lou Yuanqiao suddenly stood up and stumbled out. Ren Yizhen, not knowing what had happened, looked at him helplessly as he pushed the door open and left

These are all tasks within the secretary's responsibilities, but as she is new and Cui Xin has taken a disliking to her, she is determined to assert her authority. Burdened with heavy debts, she has no choice but to accept everything.

Mr. Lou, I am truly sorry. I know my father's actions are unforgivable, and I understand that you dislike me. However, I will still come again tomorrow

That night, when the shop closed, her boyfriend Song Zhengfeng came to pick her up: "Yizhen, can we leave now?" Ren Yizhen replied: "Alright. We can leave right away."

"Ren Yizhen, you still have two cups of wine left to drink." Boss Liu's enchanting voice echoed again, and Ren Yizhen felt a wave of dizziness wash over her. She sensed her consciousness gradually slipping away and had no choice but to tightly grasp the person's arm, refusing to let go, murmuring, "Please save me."

The year she first met Lou Yuanqiao was during her junior year, in the second semester. The location was the headquarters building of their Lou's Junyuan Hotel. The floors below the 30th are occupied by the hotel, while the 30th to the 36th floors house Lou's offices

Many years later, she kept thinking that if she had entered the building a few seconds earlier or later on that day, she would not have encountered Lou Yuanqiao. Would many subsequent events have not occurred then?

Ren Yizhen's eyes were red, but she held back her tears, looking quite pitiful. Lou Yuanqiao turned his head away, shifting his gaze: "Let me think about it."

How has uncle been these past two days

Ren Yizhen brewed a cup of black coffee and brought it out to him

In his silent gaze, there always lingered an inexplicable essence that reminded her of everything that transpired between them on that drunken night. In truth, apart from one or two fragments, she had little memory of it, but the greater the void, the more it fueled various fantasies. Every time Ren Yizhen thought about it, she wished she could faint on the spot.

Luo Yuanqiao did not respond. Ren Yizhen directly took her leave and exited.

Luo Yuanqiao quickly finished handling the documents and looked up, saying: "Sit."

She had been gazing down at the tips of her black shoes. However, in her line of sight, there were his pair of shiny black shoes.

No. I exercise ... ... to keep fit

Ren Yizhen's reaction was to hold onto the cloth bag and take two steps back with a thud. She lowered her eyes, averted her gaze from Lou Yuanqiao, and gently said: "No need, I can go back by myself"

Ren Yizhen had no ulterior motives towards Manager Liang, and now that she understands why Cui Xin acted as she did, she feels reassured.

Having just returned to the office, Cui Xin was already growing impatient: "Interns these days really know how to slack off. Unlike us back in the day, when it took ten minutes to accomplish an hour's worth of work. It's just delivering a document to the 36th floor, yet it took over an hour to do so"

Ren Yizhen let out a long sigh, as if a stranded fish on the verge of death had returned to the water, finally able to breathe freely

Ren Yizhen approached in surprise: "Mr. Lou."

No need, I have enough to spend. If it's not enough, you can transfer more to me, alright

"Come on, Ren Yizhen, let's go in and have a drink," Boss Liu said, attempting to pull Ren Yizhen's hand. However, with a dark expression, Lou Yuanqiao grabbed his arm and said sternly, "Let her go"

Luo Yuanqiao often laughs at the thought of her dazed and frightened appearance while at work

Luo Yuanqiao: "Where do you live? I will have the driver take you back."

Once again, I encountered her at a certain coffee shop. Ren Yizhen came here to work part-time after finishing her shift.

Now, in addition to taking care of her father who has undergone surgery, she also works as an accountant at a small company, and after work, she must rush here for her part-time night shift. Extremely busy, Ren Yizhen often wishes she could split a single day into three to make use of it.

What brings Ren Yizhen comfort is that Lou Yuanqiao has eaten the entire cake. Although it was just a small piece of cake, the deep gratitude it contained is something only she herself understands

Ren Yizhen merely smiled without speaking

Zheng Yingjie’s words were like a tongue twister, leaving Yi Zhen utterly perplexed

Ren Yizhen: "Mr. Lou, if there are no other matters, I will take my leave first"

The first time, she was unable to get close to him at all. Lou Yuanqiao usually had an assistant and a bodyguard with him, ready to help him handle special situations. She was blocked outside the security line, watching helplessly as Lou Yuanqiao got into the car and left

Luo Yuanqiao helped her take off her shoes and settled her in the guest room, leaving her unattended. In fact, there was no way to manage her, as no one knew what those people had given her to eat

The plea was unsuccessful, and I also lost my job

Ren Yizhen paid no heed to his cold mockery, merely stating: "This is what I deserve"

Luo Yuanqiao furrowed her brows and pressed her temples, and after a long while, she finally looked up at her in confusion and said, "Just... go with the flow."

At this point, she still spoke well of Uncle Lin. Ren Yizhen, facing her kind and weak father, was filled with anger, hatred, and heartache.

There is a position in the company's Human Resources Department, and the department manager is someone I know well. Would you like to come and give it a try

It is merely a minor position in the Human Resources Department; he would not concern himself with such trivial matters

The tall man slightly nodded. Subsequently, the elevator doors closed and ascended

Dad, such a large sum of money, if convicted, you will have to serve several years in prison! Ren Yizhen was anxious and distressed, how could one describe the sorrow she felt.

On that morning, Ren Yizhen received a delicate bouquet of flowers. At the time of delivery, Cui Xin was instructing her on tasks, and upon seeing the bouquet, she smiled in a manner that was both amused and curious, asking, "Who sent this?"

Luo Yuanqiao settled the bill, and before getting into the car, Luo Luqiao slyly said: "Big brother, you have a problem."

I will go get the report for you now. Ren Shuiping slowly stood up. Ren Yizhen gazed at his unsteady figure and thinning hair, and for the first time, she truly felt that her father had aged.

Ren Yizhen hesitated and asked, "Does Lou know about my working in the Human Resources Department?"

She found a red bag containing coffee beans next to the coffee machine, and upon picking it up, she was astonished; this was La Esmeralda. The barista in the shop had previously educated her about the top ten coffee beans in the world, specifically mentioning this coffee and searching for its images online to show her. He said that although it is not as famous as Indonesia's Kopi Luwak, it is the rarest coffee in the world, producing only about a hundred bags a year, with an exceptionally pure and aromatic flavor.

He said that although it is not as famous as Indonesia's Kopi Luwak, it is the rarest coffee in the world, producing only about a hundred bags a year, with an exceptionally pure and aromatic flavor

Luo Yuanqiao said to himself: "Let's go, I will have my meal at the company cafeteria today and conveniently offer some suggestions to the restaurant." He walked ahead, naturally unaware of the astonished expressions of his assistants behind him

Such gentle and kind words make it difficult for even a virtuous person to refuse

The elevator ascended silently. However, whether it was due to the confined space or his formidable presence, Ren Yizhen felt as if even breathing had become constricted.

Ren Yizhen nodded

For Ren Yizhen, it felt as if the entire world had collapsed: "Dad, what on earth is going on? Did you use this money to invest in stocks?"

She will no longer go to work tomorrow. Please seek someone more capable! When Lou Yuanqiao was carrying Ren Yizhen home, he only felt that she was soft and tender in his arms, like a rabbit

Luo Yuanqiao pondered for a few seconds and instructed the driver to stop. He pressed the window down

When Lou Yuanqiao was settling the bill, Ren Yizhen politely said, "Mr. Lou, if you don't mind, let me treat you to this meal. Consider it my way of thanking you for your help"

In that moment, Ren Yizhen silently reddened her eyes. She knew that her father would not joke with her about something as serious as a terminal illness.

But who knows... who knows that Uncle Lin's factory loan could not be approved, and he can no longer bear it

He chose a location far from where Zhen was, yet he could see her at a glance when he looked up. Accompanied by his assistants, he finished a bento box with the same dishes as hers.

Lou Lvqiao pouted and said: "Elder brother is the most annoying. He clearly knows that I have gained a lot of weight recently, yet he still insists on pointing it out."

Ren Yizhen nodded: "Manager, rest assured. I know him, there will be no problem."

Zhen, these individuals are important clients of the company today. You must not offend them—otherwise, the company will be doomed, and you will be in trouble as well. Boss Liu earnestly advised, fearing that she might make a mistake.

Luo Yuanqiao sat down in his usual spot. Ren Yizhen mechanically picked up the menu and approached: "Hello, may I ask what you would like to drink?"

What is the matter? Manager Zhu, please speak.

Cui Xin immediately erupted: "Ren Yizhen, your procrastination is truly baffling. Do you not understand what the company hired you for? Manager Liang values efficiency above all; it is one thing for you to harm yourself, but do not drag us colleagues down with you by making us take the blame for your shortcomings"

In a state of utter helplessness, Ren Yizhen recounted the situation to Zhu Jiabao in full detail: "Manager Zhu, it was my father's momentary lapse in judgment. Currently, we can only make up this amount of money. Please find a way to plead with Mr. Lou on our behalf; we will definitely make up the remaining amount. I ask him to show mercy and not to press charges against my father"

At this point, even Ren Yizhen, no matter how slow-witted she was, began to realize: "It can't be because of Manager Liang, can it?"

Luo Yuanqiao's words, filled with an imposing authority, along with the domineering aura he exuded, left Boss Liu feeling somewhat embarrassed: "Since you are so impressive, why does she still come to my company to earn a salary of 3,000 yuan"

Zhu Jiabao's words already demonstrate deep affection. Ren Yizhen was moved to tears with gratitude

Until the two walked far away, a black luxury car parked by the roadside started to leave

Outside the office, the assistants and secretaries secretly wiped away their cold sweat: "The temperament of this building has been quite strange in recent days!"

Zhu Jiabao scrutinized Ren Yizhen from top to bottom and asked, "I heard you majored in finance and accounting at university?" Ren Yizhen replied, "Yes. I have obtained various certifications." She handed the prepared materials to Zhu Jiabao

Zhu Jiabao felt a chill. According to Mr. Lou's opinion, this case involving the official at this level is already a foregone conclusion.

Ren Yizhen continued with the task of wiping the table. The store manager approached her and said: "Yizhen, the work of the other colleagues has already been completed. Why don't you go and inform the customer that we are about to close and ask them to come back tomorrow"

Zheng Yingjie: "You are correct. Our department's Manager Liang graduated from a prestigious university, comes from a well-off family, has a neat appearance, and possesses good personal qualities. As for Cui Xin, she is naturally regarded as a catch. In the Lou family, the number of eligible women is three times that of men."

He was dispatched by the company to Sanyuan City a few months ago

However, as Zhu Jiabao anticipated, Lou Yuanqiao placed great importance on the incident that occurred in the finance department, saying to Zhu Jiabao: "I do not deny that what you said about having no merit but still having hard work is true. The development of the Lou family to this point cannot be separated from the hard contributions of these old officials. However, there are national laws and family rules; precisely because it has not been easy for the Lou family to develop to this scale, it is even more necessary to have rules for everything. If this matter is not dealt with strictly and is simply let go lightly, how will you manage the entire finance department well in the future?"

"Why does Cui Xin treat you this way? In fact, it is not your fault at all. However, from another perspective, it is all your fault."

Ren Yizhen softly turned over, and Lou Yuanqiao suddenly froze. A few buttons at the collar of her white shirt had come undone, revealing a scene that stirred the heart and captivated the senses due to her movement.

Boss Liu looked at him and asked, "Who are you?" He could tell from the attire and demeanor of these individuals that they were not ordinary people

Ren Yizhen, who was busy answering the phone, did not notice his arrival at all. After she hung up the phone, Zheng Yingjie patted her chest and said: "Fortunately, everything went smoothly"

Luo Yuanqiao returned to his room to bathe and rest. However, strangely, he found it difficult to fall asleep. In the middle of the night, feeling parched, he got up to drink some water. After a brief moment of contemplation, he walked to the corridor and pushed open the door to Ren Yizhen's sleeping room

Ren Yizhen expressed her joy, saying: "Thank you, Mr. Lou, thank you, Mr. Lou."

That settles it. I have replied to Manager Liang from the Human Resources Department.

A few days later, Lou Yuanqiao came again, ordering the same coffee and the same steak. After finishing the meal, he opened his computer to handle official documents

For the third time, at the entrance of Junyuan Hotel. Lou Yuanqiao seemed somewhat troubled; he crossed his arms and patiently said to her a few words: "You are indeed a patient person, but unfortunately, there is no room for negotiation regarding your father's matter"

Song Zhengfeng held her hand and kissed it: "What are you thanking me for?" Ren Yizhen tilted her head and looked at him: "Thank you for always being with me during such difficult days."

It seems he must have had quite a bit to drink, Ren Yizhen suggested, "How about I get you a glass of honey water?" Lou Yuanqiao softly replied with a "Okay."

It was because father was too greedy. He was determined to buy you a house before leaving, wanting to leave with peace of mind, so he gritted his teeth and transferred the money to your Uncle Lin

In this world, it is easy to add flowers to a brocade, but difficult to provide timely help in times of need. Even couples may part ways when faced with great adversity, let alone two individuals who are merely in a romantic relationship. Song Zhengfeng clearly knew that he bore a significant amount of debt, yet he was still willing to shoulder it together with her. This alone is enough to demonstrate his genuine feelings for her

Ren Yizhen: "Mr. Lou, I know it is my father's fault, and it is somewhat excessive for me to ask you this, putting you in a difficult position. However, as children, there is not one who does not love their parents. When one's own father is in trouble, one always hopes to do something for him. Please understand my feelings.

A simple rejection from Jiuren Yizhen unexpectedly ignited anger in Lou Yuanqiao. He withdrew his gaze and coldly started the car, driving away.

Luo Yuanqiao couldn't help but be taken aback. Usually, she appeared so gentle and serene, yet when she smiled, it was surprisingly sweet.

Ren Yizhen saw Lou Yuanqiao working diligently behind the desk

This was the first time Lou Yuanqiao carefully scrutinized her. Her pink lips resembled cherry blossoms, her features were picturesque, and her thick, dark eyelashes curled like fans.

The uncle's illness will require a considerable amount of money, and you must be tight on funds right now. There is no need for you to be polite with me.

Boss Liu took a step back, sizing up Lou Yuanqiao. Although he could tell from his formidable presence that he was not someone to be trifled with, he could not let such a juicy opportunity slip away so easily. Thus, he said: "Come on. Ren Yizhen has been working in our company for over two months, yet I have never seen you before."

Having become accustomed to such high-quality coffee, when he goes to a coffee shop, it is as if he is drinking dishwater; I cannot fathom how he can bring himself to consume it

What are you trying to lose? What is there to lose? You little girl, you are at a time when you are growing, so do not recklessly try to lose weight.

She remembers where he lives, which is near the coffee shop

Damn it! It really is her. Lou Yuanqiao took her from a friend and asked, "Are you okay?!"

Luo Yuanqiao was playing with a signature pen, and for some reason, her face suddenly entered his mind. He momentarily lost his focus, and by the time he regained his senses, his subordinate had already completed the report and was waiting for his instructions

Ren Yizhen suddenly felt something unusual, and she looked up to see Lou Yuanqiao dressed in formal attire. He appeared energetic, completely devoid of any trace of yesterday's drunkenness.

Zheng Yingjie whispered, "Oh my, President Lou is dining with us for the first time. I can foresee that tomorrow's menu will be much better."

Ren Yizhen looked at the more than 80 yuan in change in her hand, momentarily speechless

Ren Yizhen smiled lightly and said, "You're welcome. I won't disturb your work any longer. Just call me if you need anything." Ren Yizhen turned to leave, unaware of the thoughtful gaze that Lou Yuanqiao cast upon her as she walked away

Thanks to my father, Ren Yizhen's internship has been quite smooth and enjoyable

On the eighth day after returning to work, she was waiting for the elevator. The elevator doors opened in front of her, and several people crowded around Lou Yuanqiao as he stepped out.

"I like it, and that's enough." Lou Yuanqiao replied with such assertiveness

Ren Yizhen went to the photocopying room again. As soon as she opened the lid of the photocopier, the secretary from the adjacent department smiled and said, "Our manager is waiting for these documents in the conference room for a meeting and is in urgent need of them. May I print them first? Thank you very much."

As she stepped into the elevator, Ren Yizhen took a long breath once again. Now, every interaction with Lou Yuanqiao felt like a battle, her mind taut like a fully drawn bowstring. After suddenly relaxing, she often felt utterly exhausted.

In fact, the mature and tall Lou Yuanjiao is not unattractive. However, she has never realized this. At that time, she regarded Lou Yuanjiao as if she were facing a venomous snake or scorpion

"Dad, don't talk nonsense. In any case, I will not believe it." Ren Yizhen took a step back, completely unable to accept such devastating news

It was merely taking what one had earned through their own labor, with only the absence of a thousand bows and ten thousand thanks. In this humiliating manner, twelve hundred-yuan bills were obtained. As she walked out of the company, it was raining in the sky. Ren Yizhen's heart seemed to have been drenched by the rain, feeling damp all over.

As soon as Lou Yuanqiao's car exited the garage, upon seeing her, she was already drenched, her long hair clinging to her face in a wet mess

The members of the Human Resources Department had already learned the news from other departments early in the morning, each sitting upright and attentively at their desks

With a chime, the elevator doors opened, and Ren Shuping was waiting on the floor. Ren Yizhen called out "Dad" and stepped out of the elevator

Ten minutes later, she knocked on the door of Lou Yuanqiao's office. After a few seconds, Lou Yuanqiao's voice sounded: "Come in"

The most important thing for a person is to make themselves happy

He helped her with such a significant favor, and she had no way to repay him; the only thing she could do was this trivial little task.

Ren Yizhen's long-cherished hopes suddenly fell into an ice pit: "Manager Zhu, what did Mr. Lou say?"

A few seconds later, he was seen leaning over the trash can, vomiting profusely

Later, another waiter came to serve the coffee.

Ren Yizhen looked up, and she did indeed think so.

Of course not. I am the little tail of the big brother for a lifetime. The girl's sweet and tender voice is very pleasant to listen to.

The two individuals walked forward slowly, their ten fingers tightly interlocked

Second time, she disregarded the obstruction of his assistant and asked him to let go of her father. But Lou Yuanqiao did not look at her, and turned away coldly.

Lunchtime, all the colleagues dispersed in an instant. Only Zheng Yingjie said to her, "Yizhen, let's go eat. There is nothing more important than having a meal."

Ren Yizhen weakly asked, "How much can Uncle Lin return to us now?"

Ren Yizhen sat down in front of his desk. She was waiting for the result he was about to inform her.

One person supported her and asked, "Are you okay?"

However, this is truly great news, but Ren Yizhen does not believe that the Lou family Junyuan Group would still want her

After Ren Yizhen returned home, she quietly pushed open her father's bedroom door and, seeing that he was asleep, returned to her own room. She turned on the desk lamp and began to work on the tasks that Cui Xin had assigned during the day.

Those clients have been toasting her continuously. Relying on the boss's advice, Ren Yizhen dared not refuse. However, after being forced to drink several glasses of alcohol, she felt that something was wrong.

Well, it's okay.

On this distant side, Lou Yuanqiao suddenly felt a sense of tranquility in his heart. He returned to his office in a very good mood, picked up the document he had previously thrown aside, and carefully read through it.

It's possible that your Uncle Lin didn't intentionally deceive us. He originally thought that the bank would continue to lend money. Who knew that the bank would suddenly freeze his account and not care about the survival of his business? Your Uncle and Aunt Lin have had a hard time these years. Although their factory only employs 50-60 people, it still solves the employment problem for 50-60 people in society. Your Uncle Lin must have encountered difficulties, otherwise he wouldn't have treated us like this.

Father Ren Shuiping has always been responsible for the salary payments and cash transactions of the personnel at the Luohai Junyuan headquarters. However, on a certain payday, everyone in the company did not receive their salaries. Zhu Jiabao discovered that the funds originally intended for paying salaries were missing from the account.

Thanks to Zhu Jiabao's help, she was able to solve her urgent problem, and Ren Yizhen felt a great sense of relief.

Ren Yizhen took the menu as usual and smiled, "Mr. Lou, hello." Lou Yuanqiao did not even look, and just said, "A cup of Blue Mountain and your signature grilled beef steak here."

At that time, Lou Lvqiao had returned from the United States for summer vacation. When she came back with a smile while holding Lou Yuanqiao's hand, Ren Yizhen couldn't take her eyes off her, thinking to herself: "This girl is really beautiful."

What about the money you've prepared for buying a house? Take it out and repay the company first, even if it's just a portion.

Ding. The elevator has arrived at the thirty-sixth floor. Lou Yuanqiao stepped out and headed straight to his office.

Cui Xin finally stopped talking, reached out and took the documents: "I will give them to Manager Liang. Here, take these documents to print, three copies."

At the same time, on the thirty-sixth floor, Lou Yuanqiao was extremely eager to see Ren Yizhen. This feeling was intense and inexplicable, burning like fire, to the point that he could not calm his mind without seeing her. It was around noon, so he left the office and asked his assistants, "How is the food in the staff cafeteria lately?"

Nowadays, it is difficult to find a job. Regardless of what the Lou family says, it is still a large enterprise. After three months, it will be converted into a formal employee, and various benefits are extremely good.

Zhu Jiabao flipped through the documents, and without further ado, stated directly: "Then come for an internship during the winter break. Do a good job. The company is experiencing very good development momentum, and there are many development plans ahead, some of which are opportunities for you young people."

The sixth time, it was Lou Yuanqiao who called Ren Yizhen to his office. Ren Yizhen nervously knocked on the door and entered.

Luo Yuanqiao glanced with her long eyes and smiled coldly: "In this Luohai City, with you alone, you still cannot see me, Luo Yuanqiao."

At that moment, Lou Yuanqiao thought of the boy with whom she held hands, who was as clear as a gentle breeze - suddenly, a strange feeling struck her heart.

Ren Yizhen: "Save me." The words she uttered were soft as cotton, and the person could not hear clearly, frowning and asking: "What did you say?"

The proprietress, while counting money, did not forget to nag: "In today's world, making money is not easy. Only people like us, a couple with good hearts, are willing to give you every single penny. If it were another family, they would never settle your wages for these past few days."

Ren Yizhen just realized that Lou Yuanqiao had already been here. She secretly breathed a sigh of relief, as if she had escaped a disaster.

Reluctantly, she had no choice but to call Ren Yizhen: "Yizhen, I am sorry. I couldn't be of any help at all"

A uniform black and white office uniform, when worn on her, is particularly pleasing to the eye.

My salary for this month has been paid. I will transfer the money to you shortly

She delivered documents to the secretary's office. Secretary Lin gestured for her to wait: "There is a personnel document that requires the signature of General Manager Lou to take effect; he just entered the office. Please wait for me a moment and, by the way, help take it down."

Upon weighing the pros and cons, Boss Liu waved his hand and said, "You go settle the account with her."

At that time, Lou Lvqiao was still a university student, with long, jet-black hair parted in the middle and exquisite, radiant features, which left her in awe: Lou Yuanqiao actually had such a beautiful younger sister

On the fifth time, it was a day of pouring rain. Ren Yizhen held a transparent umbrella, shivering as she waited for him in the wind and rain

Ren Yizhen hurriedly held him back. Just as the words were spoken, a car sped by on the road, whizzing past the two of them

However, there are not so many hypotheticals in the world. Life can never be lived again, so we will never know what kind of entirely different life we would have if we had chosen another path.

Ren Yizhen cautiously pushed open the door to the lounge. The first thing that caught her eye was a small kitchen, with a slightly ajar door leading directly to the bedroom behind it

This time it was quite strange; Lou Yuanqiao did not leave after finishing his meal. He simply instructed her to clear the dining table, then took out his laptop and a stack of documents, and began to work with his head down

Your matters are indeed observed by your colleagues. If one wishes to impose blame, there is no shortage of excuses. However, there is not a single person who can assist you. You are left with the choice to endure or to leave

Ren Yizhen opened it and saw that it was a call from Zhu Jiabao, so she answered: "Manager Zhu, hello"

Elder brother, I am no longer young; I will soon be entering my third year of university

My friend was utterly astonished: "Do you know her?"

While dining with Zheng Yingjie and others, Ren Yizhen slowly raised her head for some unknown reason and immediately locked eyes with Lou Yuanqiao.

How have you been recently, Zhen?

Luo Yuanqiao deliberately slowed his pace, and as he passed by Ren Yizhen's position, he subtly glanced at the contents of her lunch box.

Ren Shuping brought her before the head of the finance department, Zhu Jiabao: "Miss Zhu, this is the person I mentioned to you, my daughter Ren Yizhen"

Ren Yizhen saw a tall man with a stern expression walking in slowly. Following him were several of his assistants. In an instant, the spacious elevator felt constricted, as if the very air had been compressed.

His current funding chain has already broken, and the factory will definitely not be able to continue operations. These days, no matter how I search, I cannot find him; he has probably left Luohai and run away. Ren Shuiping is not unaware of the seriousness of the situation

The considerate care of her boyfriend brought a sweet smile to Ren Yizhen: "Thank you"

Ren Yizhen has already lost consciousness, occasionally rubbing against him and whimpering, calling out for warmth

Luo Yuanqiao pretended to cough and said, "You leave the documents here, and I will take a look before contacting you again"

Luo Yuanqiao let out a cold sneer: "Repay? If it were possible to repay, this matter would have been covered up long ago, and the company would not have discovered it."

Luo Yuanqiao followed her from a distance until they reached the corner, where his car passed by her and came to a stop: "Get in the car. I will take you home."

Where is your father? Ren Yizhen briefly mentioned some circumstances

Who are you again?

Midway, Ren Yizhen tiptoed forward and brought him coffee several times. She also tried not to bring other customers to the corner where he was, for fear of affecting his work.

After hearing this, Zhu Jiabao said, "Please convey my greetings to him. By the way, I have something to ask you today."

Ren Yizhen: "Please, Mr. Lou, have mercy and do not report my father. We will definitely return the money."

Which eye of yours saw us abusing drugs? You may leave, but Ren Yizhen stays. Boss Liu was hit where it hurt, feeling extremely guilty.

Okay then! If they can make up the amount this week, I will pretend that this incident never happened. Let them resign automatically. But if it's not possible--" Lou Yuanqiao closed the folder in front of him and casually said, "What I mean is to make an example and deter others."

Ren Yizhen, why do you exercise when you are so thin? You are going to exhaust me to death! The chubby Zheng Yingjie is a cute natural beauty. As she lives next door to Ren Yizhen, they have become quite familiar with each other in the past few days.

She hurriedly left, thinking that she would probably never meet Lou Yuanqiao again in her lifetime, so she repeatedly comforted herself that this incident had never happened.

Your Uncle Lin has been friends with my father for many years, and he has always taken great care of us. I never expected that he would deceive even me... Ren Shuiping knew he was in the wrong, and his voice became half as small when he spoke.

Rényǐzhēn was scared out of a cold sweat: "I'll take you back."

The assistants looked at each other in confusion, unsure of the meaning behind his words. For a moment, they didn't know how to respond to him.

Dad wasn't lying. A few days ago, his medical report came out, saying there was a shadow on his lung - he went to the hospital a few times without telling you. The final test report has come out, and the doctor said his cancer has reached the advanced stage.

Lou Yuanqiao looked up at her from the document and only said two words, "Thank you".

Lou Yuanqiao took it and drank slowly.

Ren Yizhen: "Mr. Lou, can we pay in installments?"

When Zhen looked down for a second and saw Lou Yuanqiao, even her smile stiffened.

Ren Yizhen asked him: "Mr. Lou, where is the membership card? It can be used for payment." But Mr. Lou, nine out of ten times, would tell her, "I'm sorry, I forgot to bring it."

He actually rarely speaks to her. In the company, their levels are too different, they rarely meet, and there is simply no chance to talk. In the coffee shop, except when ordering, they also have no conversation at all.

Secretary Lin returned after a few minutes and said to Ren Yizhen, "Mr. Lou is currently busy. He asked you to come to his office in ten minutes to pick up something directly."

Ren Yizhen is overjoyed and ecstatic, repeatedly expressing gratitude: "Mr. Lou, thank you, you are truly a great person."

She gasped for breath as she climbed up to the sixteenth floor, causing her colleague Zheng Yingjie to look at her in surprise: "Is the elevator broken?"

When they met on such a narrow path, Zhen's heart skipped a beat. She quickly moved to the side, hiding behind the tall green plants. He looked straight ahead, seemingly not noticing her. Afterwards, she chose to take the stairs.

It is precisely this test that makes Ren Yizhen feel even happier.

Miss Ren, I agree to your request for installment payments. Also, I have decided not to sue you. The entire Lou's Group belongs to the Lou family, and it is not a publicly traded company. Therefore, Lou Yuanqiao's agreement is the company's decision.

Zheng Yingjie specially invited her to McDonald's in the opposite shopping mall to eat hamburgers. She took a few sips of Coke and said, "Yizhen, do you think Cui Xin is very excessive?"

Mr. Lou, my father was just momentarily confused. He has fallen seriously ill and may not survive for another year or so. He worries that after he passes away, I will be left alone and helpless. Therefore, he wants to buy me a small house so that I can have a place of my own in this city. That's why he secretly borrowed some money to invest and earn some extra cash.

Such is life, the more you don't want something to happen, the more it insists on happening. The more you don't want to see someone, the more they insist on appearing before your eyes.

The noisy restaurant suddenly quieted down as soon as their group arrived.

It seems that, after last night's incident, she avoids him like a snake or scorpion.

She should only be three or four years older than Lv Qiao, right?! If it were my own younger sister, seeing Lv Qiao acting so subservient and begging others in a low voice like this...

Ren Yizhen always remembers the stunning sight of Lou Lvqiao when she first saw him.

When Lou Yuanqiao arrived, Ren Yizhen was tidying up the table. She saw a guest sitting at the next table, so she took the menu and approached with a smile, saying, "Hello."

Not every colleague in the company is as friendly and kind as Zheng Yingjie, for example, Manager Liang's secretary, Cui Xin.

As a result, that afternoon, two assistants and two secretaries accompanied him on a grand tour from the hotel front desk to the security department, to the guest room department, to the catering department, to the logistics department, to the sales department, to the finance department, to the administrative department, and finally to the human resources department.

Ren Yizhen busily said: "Mr. Lou, hello." Lou Yuanqiao glanced at her and said lightly: "You work here?"

Every time after finishing the meal, he will start working in an orderly manner, and then leave when they close.

Hey, once you graduate, you won't be my little sister anymore, right? You little brat.

Lou Yuanqiao stood in the place where the light was uneven, and watched her leave deeply.

Given the current situation, it is necessary to find a job, otherwise she won't be able to pay off her monthly debt of 3,000 yuan.

The next day at work, Ren Yizhen handed the documents to Cui Xin. Cui Xin leisurely took a sip of coffee and handed her a document, saying, "Take this to the secretary of the 36th floor."

Before you arrived, no one in the department could compete with her. So you don't need to do anything wrong, and you are already a thorn in her side. Because as long as it's you, everything will be considered wrong.

When Ren Yizhen saw him, her whole being trembled, and even her smile appeared pale and forced. Lou Yuanqiao ordered coffee and steak as usual. After Ren Yizhen served them, she said, "Please enjoy your meal," and then distanced herself.

Ren Yizhen's heart inexplicably skipped a beat.

Luo Yuanqiao walked slowly by, casting only a distant glance at Ren Yizhen.

She removed her apron, changed out of her work uniform, and left the café hand in hand with Song Zhengfeng

Such an encounter, such a place, Ren Yizhen could only respectfully call out: "Mr. Lou." Lou Yuanqiao did not glance sideways, nor did he speak.

This is true

Ren Shuiping hung his head, and after a long while, he awkwardly said: "I have already lent it to Uncle Lin, he said that this money will be returned to me together with the loan when it comes through, and he will also pay me interest, I..."

The few people behind him were originally standing aside with expressions of impatience. Upon hearing the name Ren Yizhen, he suddenly raised his head. He parted the crowd and strode forward.

Luo Yuanqiao staggered and turned around: "I am fine. I am going home—" As he spoke, he was about to head onto the road

Ren Yizhen closed the door of the coffee shop and sent Lou Louqiao home

Just now, while eating, your eyes were almost glued to her. Do you like her

While delivering meals, Ren Yizhen occasionally caught snippets of conversation that made her realize: this person is his younger sister

The fourth time, it was late at night. Ren Yizhen waited for him in the garage. Lou Yuanqiao was in a bad mood that day, his face ashen and extremely impatient: "Are you done yet? Starting tomorrow, you don't need to come to work anymore"

Therefore, he applied for the highest amount membership card in their store. However, despite having the card, he still paid in cash every time and left her a tip.

Lou Yuanqiao saw everything with his own eyes, but remained calm and composed.

On this day, she went to the company to settle the final salary for her financial work. Mr. Liu had a sour face and was extremely impolite, saying, "Oh, with a boyfriend like that, why do you care about this mere thousand bucks?!"

Well then

How could she do such a thing? Ren Yizhen was so angry that she wished she could hit the wall right then and there.

Mr. Lou, please don't report him. I will definitely repay the money. This is an IOU I wrote to you. Please give me an account number, and I will deposit it in installments every month. Mr. Lou, I promise I will definitely do it. I will definitely repay this amount.

During the day, she works in a small company as a finance professional. This is a flattering term. In fact, she is the only person responsible for the entire company's finances, from handling cash to organizing financial statements and even carrying out various instructions from the boss's wife.

Renyi Zhen nodded and said, "You can work part-time here at night." She didn't say much, after all, there was a world of difference between them, and there was nothing to talk about. The most taboo thing in life is to mistake someone else's politeness for one's own good fortune.

So if you want to stay, you have to endure. Endure to the point of no more endurance, and then endure again from the beginning.

Ren Yizhen proposed to him, "Mr. Lou, why don't you apply for a card with us? There are discounts and bonuses for recharging. You can deduct the amount from it every time you make a purchase."

These days, with more and more "chance encounters" with Lou Yuanqiao, she is not a fool and naturally feels that something is wrong.

For more than a month after that, Ren Yizhen never saw Lou Yuanqiao again.

Ren Yizhen is wiping the table. When Lou Yuanqiao passed by, he had a strong smell of alcohol. She frowned and looked up, and then collided with his deep and inexplicable eyes.

At that moment, Ren Yizhen felt her eyes go black and wished to faint immediately, saying, "But this is not our family's money, it's the company's money! Do you know the serious consequences of doing this?!"

Song Zhengfeng firmly held her hand: "Silly, I am your boyfriend. If something happens to your family, I will be there for you, who else will?" These simple words deeply moved Ren Yizhen.

How could it disappear? According to reports, Lou Yuanqiao was furious. After a thorough investigation, it was discovered that it had been misappropriated.

I never expected that the usually adorable Zheng Yingjie would perceive things so clearly. It seems that one cannot judge a person by their appearance

Lo Yuanqiao leisurely got up and picked up the cup to drink. He quietly finished his coffee, then retrieved the personnel file from the documents and signed it in front of Ren Yizhen before handing it to her.

Ren Shuiping: "Xiao Zhen, I have something to tell you." At this point, Ren Shuiping confessed everything to his daughter, "Dad, I don't have much time left. Let the company report me to the authorities and put me in jail."

Mr. Lou.

On this evening, while Lou Yuanqiao was working in the office, Ren Yizhen brought him coffee and offered him a cake: "Mr. Lou, this is the freshly baked cake from the store today. Please try the flavor. It's on the house, my treat."

Lou Yuanqiao insisted, "No need." Ren Yizhen had to take the money and pay the bill.

Song Zhengfeng held her hand: "Are you dressed a bit too lightly? Your hands are so cold." Song Zhengfeng took off his own coat and put it on her, "Be careful not to catch a cold."

Later on, Lou Yuanqiao started to visit their store more frequently, sometimes even two or three times a week.

Ren Yizhen took the umbrella and got into the car. It was a luxurious European-style car with spacious interior. However, the air was filled with the masculine aura of Lou Yuanqiao, who was just a few centimeters away from her. Whether she looked up or lowered her head, she couldn't escape his strong presence.

On that day, she went to the Lund's Grand Building to visit her father. Her father, Ren Shuiping, is one of the finance department heads at Lund's.

Ren Yizhen used the excuse of needing to go to the restroom, and stumbled out, bumping into several people in the dimly lit, mesmerizing corridor.

"Zhengfeng, I didn't mince my words with you. It's really extravagant. My dad is now recuperating at home, not using any imported medication, so the expenses are not high. When it's not enough, I'll talk to you again, okay?"

After asking for a long time, Ren Shuiping finally said, "To be honest, I didn't use this money to speculate in stocks. Dad just wanted to buy you a house in Luohai. Look at the current housing prices in Luohai... Dad has been saving for several years and is almost ready to pay the down payment. So, for the first time in his life, Dad took the courage to move some of the company's funds and lend them to Uncle Lin. He originally agreed to borrow it for only two weeks to repay the loan in the factory as soon as the bank loan came down. In these two weeks, he gave me 150,000 yuan... I had planned that I could put it back into the company's account the previous week. With that 150,000 yuan, our down payment would be enough. Besides, we have known Uncle Lin for so many years. When your mother was sick, Uncle Lin also helped us a lot. I think it's just a matter of two weeks. When Uncle Lin returns it to me, I can conveniently pay everyone's salary."

Ren Yizhen naturally followed suit. She had just entered the elevator and was about to press the close button when a tall figure stepped into the elevator.

Song Zhengfeng's kindness towards her only makes Ren Yizhen feel more heartbroken. Now, she is no longer worthy of Song Zhengfeng's kindness.

She can't just ignore him like this, right?!" Ren Yizhen bit her lip, struggling in her heart.

Lou Yuanqiao seemed to not understand, he squinted at her, letting her drag him back to the coffee shop.

Ren Yizhen placed an order. In just a moment, it was brought to him steaming hot.

Lou Yuanqiao: "I heard that you are also in the finance department. Don't come looking for me anymore, otherwise you will lose your job too." He left these words behind and left, leaving Ren Yizhen at a loss, standing still.

Due to the medication, Ren Yizhen was completely unaware of his arrival.

At that time, Ren Yizhen did not know that in the future she would have so many entanglements with Lou Yuanqiao. And Lou Yuanqiao also did not expect it.

And this person is Ren Shuiping. Zhu Jiabao, the general manager of the finance department, can hardly believe that Ren Shuiping, who is usually diligent and careful, would do such a thing.

Lou Yuanqiao drank more than half a cup of honey water, and then leaned back on the sofa to rest with his eyes closed.

She doesn't know how to face the gentle and considerate Song Zhengfeng in the future.

Cui Xin no longer mentions this matter, and she instructed and then left gracefully.

The next day, when Ren Yizhen opened her eyes, she was completely stunned.

At this moment, a voice was heard outside the door saying, "Please wait." Two men in black suits stopped the closing elevator door. They immediately moved aside and made a gesture of invitation to the person behind them, saying, "Mr. Lou, please."

That night, Lou Yuanqiao went to the coffee shop again. By the time he arrived, it was already very late, and the coffee shop was about to close.

Zhu Jiabao: "Mr. Lou is only willing to grant you a one-week extension for repayment. If the amount is not repaid after one week, he has decided to sue your father"

Ren Yizhen watched his car disappear, then slowly walked away. She weakly covered her face, completely unaware of how she could have acted in such a manner

Luo Yuanqiao indulgently ordered a drink and pudding for the girl, lowering his voice as he spoke: "This egg pudding is the signature dessert here, why not give it a try?"

What problems do I have

In the evening, Lou Yuanqiao deliberately went to the coffee shop where she worked to have a meal

As a result, the secretary had a stack of documents in hand, and it took more than ten minutes to print. By the time Cui Xin received the copied documents, nearly half an hour had passed

Thus, Ren Yizhen began her daytime work and took a part-time job at a coffee shop in the evening. She was as busy as a spinning top every day, with not a moment to rest.

She entered the elevator as usual and pressed the button for the thirty-third floor

Ren Yizhen has always known that her father enjoys trading stocks. However, her father has always been very measured in his approach, engaging in it merely as a light pastime.

Perhaps misfortune is the foundation of fortune, and this is precisely what is being conveyed

As long as my elder brother likes it, there is absolutely nothing that cannot be done. However, we must first get past our mother on this matter. You understand!

In the office, those who walk around are all individuals with sharp tongues and keen insights. Upon seeing Cui Xin's evident hostility towards Ren Yizhen, naturally, no one dared to approach her. Only the straightforward Zheng Yingjie was an exception.

The subordinate respectfully placed the documents down and took his leave.

Since she started working, Cui Xin has never given her a good face. Often, without warning, she would slam a stack of documents onto her desk, saying: "I need to hand this to Manager Liang first thing tomorrow."

Thus, he also ordered the exact same dish

Luo Yuanqiao pondered for a few seconds and nodded: "Alright"

Ren Shuiping has worked at the Lou family company for several decades, always being cautious and diligent, never holding grudges against others, and maintaining good relationships with many in the finance department. Therefore, when Ren Yizhen started working, everyone knew she was the daughter of the finance department's old Ren, and they all offered her some consideration.

The person slowly raised his head, leaving Ren Yizhen momentarily stunned; it was actually Lou Yuanqiao. Ever since he agreed to her installment payment plan, the two had not seen each other again. During these days, she would deposit a sum of money into his account punctually every month.

This month I still have to pay back three thousand yuan. Originally, the daytime salary was used to repay the money owed to my father, and the income from the part-time job at night was used for household expenses and my father's medical expenses. My father's medical expenses are not cheap, and many of the medicines are not covered by medical insurance.

Lou Yuanqiao sat behind a simple and spacious office desk, and when he saw her, he only said, "Wait for me for a minute." He buried himself in the documents. Sunlight peeked in from the floor-to-ceiling glass window behind him, covering him in a faint golden light.

Rényǐzhēn xǐ shàng méi shāo: "Xièxiè, xièxiè Zhū jīnglǐ."

It's simply impossible to do it in a week. Ren Yizhen hung up the phone in a daze.
