Chapter 8, Thus Engaging in Romance

What a shame

Mo Bei continued, "No one can stop He Zhixuan now. I believe this is a good opportunity, and shouldn't you adopt a more proactive attitude in dealing with various matters, including your family?"

She had pulled her own handkerchief, knowing the pain, and for a moment, she grimaced, her gums aching, the soreness reaching her tear glands, and tears began to brew.

Mo Bei couldn't help but tousle her long hair, saying: "You!" with an expression of helplessness mixed with amusement on his face

"It must be your poor work attitude." She released her grip

Yang Xiaoguang thought that Mo Bei spoke with moderation and left room for contemplation, skillfully grasping the measure. She then shifted the topic to another direction, saying: "I really want to have a duel with Smith, to teach him not to underestimate the Chinese."

Yang Xiaoguang also finds him inscrutable

Yang Xiaoguang thought for a moment, indeed. In this business, the one with the least to lose in the entire company is He Zhixuan, so what is there for her to be afraid of

Well, character determines destiny, and I have decided to follow the footsteps of fate

Mo Bei said: "Golf Club"

Yang Xiaoguang noticed that there was no coffee on his desk, and his secretary was not at her seat, so he personally brewed a cup of coffee and brought it in

Because of Mo Bei, because of his wit, and because of the shrimp dumplings to come, Yang Xiaoguang decided to take a step back. However, her athletic abilities were limited to sprinting, and she was not proficient in anything else. She had only a superficial understanding of golf. Seeing that Mo Bei brought a full set of equipment from the car and appeared to be serious about playing, she indeed was genuinely there to "accompany" him.

Mo Beichao slightly bowed and said, "Thank you for your company in the game." It was indeed amusing

Yang Xiaoguang was not surprised by He Zhixuan's sense of responsibility and magnanimity. She thought that such a leader truly exemplified the qualities of leadership, while Philip appeared somewhat petty in his presence. ... Upon further reflection, this man, he and Fang Zhu ... . ... She realized that her inclination to meddle was beginning to stir again.

Fang Zhu looked at Mo Bei with a serious expression and said, "You—" but did not continue.

Yang Xiaoguang began to worry, saying: "I actually don't know much about Fang Zhu and He Zhixuan, as well as the matters concerning her father. I have always wanted to help her, but I don't know how to start."

Yang Xiaoguang did not hear and continued to speak to himself: "Men cannot repair computers; they might as well go home and sell sweet potatoes. Women, however, can be excused."

Yang Xiaoguang was greatly interested, yet puzzled: "How could it be so far?"

Mo Bei wiped his glasses and said, "I think I know why you have not been able to find a boyfriend all this time. You are straightforward in everything you do, yet when it comes to dating, you are particularly hesitant, overthinking things and lacking courage."

Philip expressed his gratitude and took a gentle sip of coffee, then said: "I have worked here for fifteen years, which is long enough. It would be refreshing for you to have someone else take over!"

Mo Bei said: "Therefore, the Chinese must strive for self-improvement"

She still refused to speak, so Yang Xiaoguang did not press further. However, she added, "I think Mo Bei is right; shouldn't you go home and take a look? Your father is three or four years older than mine!"

However, do not be too meticulous; your flaw is overthinking and being unable to let go. One should not be so perfectionistic in life.

Mo Bei pushed up the glasses on his nose and reflected the light: "A few interns in the office have gone crazy, discussing every day who has been promoted; I feel like I am hearing about acquaintances."

Look, today is the right day, it ignites the passionate blood of patriotic youth, and the future of our national industry is filled with hope

After sending Fang Zhu home, Mo Bei drove Yang Xiao Guang again. With Fang Zhu gone, the atmosphere immediately turned cold again. Yang Xiao Guang pondered what to talk about. In fact, she remembered the reason Mo Bei had asked her out.

Mo Bei stepped down to open the car door for her. Just as Yang Xiaoguang was about to bend down and get into the car, she inadvertently glanced to the side and saw Pan Yilun, who was carrying a backpack on one shoulder, walking towards the office building

The little stars in Yang Xiaoguang's eyes had not yet faded, and Mo Bei had already gotten out of the car and walked over, extending his hand, with a handkerchief in his palm, gently rubbing her forehead

His tone and attitude are almost flirtatious

The collaboration with "Qili" has gradually become smoother, as both companies originally performed their respective duties. "Qili" focused its efforts on the selection competition, and everything proceeded as expected. Pan Yilun successfully advanced to the top three in the regional competition and needs to prepare for the upcoming national finals.

Yang Xiaoguang covered his forehead and cried out in agony: "I hurt."

She scrutinized him with a sharp gaze, and he raised his hand to shield himself: "This morning in court, I was pierced by such a gaze from a female prosecutor for an entire morning, nearly leaving me in tatters. Please spare me!"

"I don't want to go down, I resent the rich." In fact, she is still wearing the Mickey sweatshirt from Saturday, and upon arriving here, she only feels like she is making a fool of herself again

Mo Bei would take the joke a step further, saying when he sent her home: "With meals included and transportation provided, isn't it quite a bargain to have a boyfriend like me?"

It hit the door panel

Brother, could you please refrain from being so sentimental?

The front door is wide open, and Yang's mother is beaming with joy, while Yang's father is in high spirits.

As they approached, they realized that the group of people ahead was actually holding a small press conference. Surrounded by the crowd was a foreigner, tall and imposing, sitting in the center with an air of superiority

When Old Chen was presenting a report to He Zhixuan, even He Zhixuan noticed her fatigue and asked her, "Do you want to take a couple of days off?"

Yang Xiaoguang's small eyes darted around, and suddenly, filled with excitement, he exclaimed: "Ah! The green light is on"

The feeling of being surrounded by a group of people was quite good for Smith, exuding the tone of a foreign capitalist who had come to China with a leather bag. After addressing the issue of the bamboo interface, he became even more animated, portraying himself as the savior of old Chinese brands

It is said that the Hong Kong board of directors wants us to go public in the next two years

He Zhi Xuan smiled and said, "You have all worked hard."

Yang Xiaoguang fell silent, returning to her cubicle. As she turned her head, she saw Philip standing in front of the window in the CEO's office, lost in thought. The bright light outside illuminated his aging features.

Yang Xiaoguang noticed that the car was heading towards the outer ring road, and could not help but ask: "Where are we going?"

However, seeing Pan Yilun come for training was a first for her, so she warmly and happily waved her hand in greeting, saying: "Shota."

Meli scolded, "Don't say that, Xiao Yang."

Pan Yilun took off his sunglasses, and his eyes were still as beautiful as ever, saying: "Glad to be of service"

Not to mention Pan Yilun, even Meili could not withstand it

The environment here is as elegant as dim sum. Yang Xiaoguang guarded the shrimp dumplings as they were served, but the joy of indulging in delicious food could not alleviate her earlier discomfort. She said, "Watching these foreign devils flaunt their power every day is not as good as being a paparazzo at a celebrity's doorstep."

Pan Yilun glanced at her without showing any emotion: "Boyfriend?"

If I kiss you, what will you do

Yang Xiaoguang pondered for a moment and said, "How should I put this? Am I being overly entangled and failing to recognize what is good and bad?"

He said, "I am really not joking"

Feeling sour, Yang Xiaoguang's eyes also began to feel sour.

Silence, even Meili fell silent. Yang Xiaoguang felt that he was truly honest, able to shake off such disgrace so calmly.

Other colleagues were not so calm; even the front desk staff began to communicate with several senior colleagues.

Yang Xiaoguang smiled at the past: "It was many years ago, and I can't believe you still remember. I only remember that I was a copper broad bean."

Fang Zhu merely stated: "He is a role model worth learning from"

Yang Xiaoguang was on the phone at that time, as Yang's mother was reporting a computer malfunction. It turned out that while she was playing online mahjong, she accidentally pressed the wrong key, causing the screen to go black. In a hurry, she called Yang Xiaoguang for help

Pan Yilun smiled and nodded, took a sip of orange juice, found it too sweet, frowned slightly, and thought to herself that she truly loved sweet food

Mo Bei smiled mysteriously, refusing to reveal anything. It was not until they reached their destination that Yang Xiaoguang exclaimed: "A wealthy enclave?"

Old Chen, who was standing by, laughed heartily, quite pleased that his favored subordinate spoke so well. He handed another proposal to He Zhixuan and said: "We have always been uncertain about the theme music for this banquet project. I have heard that the government officials are very cautious, so we must not act rashly and undermine the overall effect of this project. General Manager He, what do you think would be the best approach?"

Yang Xiaoguang inhaled deeply: "I have already embarrassed myself, I won't have to see anyone tomorrow"

Yang Xiaoguang did not care and retorted, "Tell me, is there really a problem with my character?"

After hanging up the phone, Mei Li asked, "Xiao Yang, is the computer at home broken?"

He stood firmly on Chinese soil, making a bold statement. Indeed, some journalists present began to express their indignation, and someone took the lead to ask: "But I could see this brand everywhere five years ago, and now it is basically nowhere to be found. The shelves in the original supermarkets have been replaced by your company's brand. Mr. Smith, could you please explain this?"

Pan Yilun is indeed an experienced hand, quickly identifying the issue under the DOS system, followed by a system reinstallation. He stated, "Reinstalling the system is very common now; managing a computer has become quite simple."

When they were chatting on the phone, Fang Zhu listened to her narrative and asked her, "Aren't you still reluctant to officially start a relationship with him?"

Mo Bei couldn't help but laugh at her sneaky appearance: "Why do you look like a thief when someone is pursuing you?"

Pan Yilun turned her head again to look at the girl in the photograph, and the difference between her then and now is not significant. She still has a vibrant apple-shaped face; although she has some blemishes due to an injury on her forehead, she remains spirited, enough to invigorate anyone who sees her.

Yang Xiaoguang here was anxiously proposing several solutions in quick succession, yet none were able to resolve the issue, leading him to lament loudly in the elevator

Before applying the medicine, Yang Ma said: "The way you are trembling, it will be utterly embarrassing in front of others"

Pan Yilun curved the corners of his mouth

Yang Xiaoguang also felt that what he said made some sense, but it had not yet reached that point

Mo Bei said: "There is a place that has hired a chef from the Hong Kong Regal, and their shrimp dumplings are no worse than those from Fu Lin Men"

Fang Zhu's opinion is correct, Yang Xiaoguang thinks, perhaps it is due to not understanding the other party well enough, which is why her self-protective awareness is overly strong; such an attitude is not proper

I am not in a state of utter confusion!

It was indeed Mo Bei who spoke first, saying: "You really are a thoughtful young lady; as soon as I hinted, you understood."

Mo Bei urged her to get in the car quickly, then started the engine, and the vehicle slowly began to move. He asked, "Was that person just now a contestant in the talent show?"

I did not expect that Mei Li was particularly understanding, saying: "Xiao Pan's computer is quite good, how about I help you fix it?"

Fang Zhu said: "You are really quite insistent. At the beginning, it is impossible for anyone to have deep feelings right away. When it comes to friendships, one must engage in more conversations to understand each other better, and only through better understanding can feelings develop. Let's try dating for a while! Sometimes, after spending time together, it will come naturally."

This person asked a good question, which is exactly what Fang Zhu wanted to ask, and it is also what Yang Xiaoguang and Mo Bei wanted to ask. Let us listen to the foreigner's response: "No model can immediately produce golden eggs. We bring the international market, and the competition will inevitably be fiercer. In the arena, the outcome of who wins and who loses is revealed through skill. Therefore, I advise certain Chinese enterprises not to treat international capital as a panacea that guarantees survival, as it may also lead to unforeseen peril akin to the Bermuda Triangle."

However, Old Chen is ultimately limited in energy, and as a result, the execution burden of the "Peacock" project has completely fallen on Yang Xiaoguang's shoulders. She has been organizing planning, designing copy, and holding meetings to finalize decisions all by herself, working overtime for fourteen consecutive days, to the point where she is now also troubled by the new acne appearing on her face.

Mo Bei smiled and said, "You have a ready opportunity, and you can advance or retreat at will"

When Mo Bei left to go to the restroom, Yang Xiaoguang candidly said to Fang Zhu: "I think Mo Bei makes a valid point. You are a good person, and our leader is also a good person. But why has it come to this situation now?"

Fang Zhu smiled and said, "When she first joined the company, she was bullied by the veterans and was left at the front desk for three months, yet she persevered without resigning. In the end, she submitted a well-prepared proposal to the CEO, which is why she can continue to make a living in this industry today"

The little star has not extinguished, and the white eyes have rolled up.

This statement is well made, instantly clarifying Yang Xiaoguang's thoughts. She exclaimed: "In this way, I can understand the actions of Leader He."

The weather has warmed up, spring has arrived, and the flowers are blooming abundantly

Mo Bei is a person of his word, and he has indeed started to openly wait for her downstairs at her company after work, which has been seen by colleagues several times. Everyone laughs at her, saying that Xiao Yang's romantic prospects have finally blossomed

Long live understanding

Recently, Meili hired a physical trainer for several models participating in the talent show. Coincidentally, the training room is rented in the gym located on the upper floor of "Jun Yuan," which is said to be convenient for He Zhixuan to provide guidance at any time. Yang Xiaoguang knows that this is just Meili flattering someone again, as the gym originally belongs to the new owner under Meili's management, thus allowing her to save costs.

Pan Yilun chuckled softly and said, "You need to watch where you're going from now on!"

Yang Xiaoguang pressed her forehead, gritted her teeth, and was on the verge of tears. Oh heavens, it hurts so much.

Yang Xiaoguang sat right beside him, her presence exuding a sweetness reminiscent of oranges. As soon as she relaxed, it seemed she had a desire to confide, saying: "When I first joined the company, I couldn't stand this and that, and when I saw the HR department cutting the interns' salaries, I was furious. In the end, I was severely reprimanded. But I didn't feel too bad about it; I just spent three months at the front desk, relying solely on my wits, and eventually managed to achieve results. However, things are different now. I have realized that even in the most stable environments, there are undercurrents that are tumultuous and beyond my control."

Fang Zhu smiled wryly: "You are truly clever, to take his feathers like this and act as his lobbyist"

Mo Bei calmly picked up the conversation: "If I remember correctly, a certain milk powder brand in the United States sold expired products to the domestic market, and after being discovered, they initiated a large-scale crisis public relations campaign, offering an unusually high transportation fee to the journalists they summoned, but He Zhi Xuan returned the money.

Yang Xiaoguang cheered: "Oh yeah, Zhengtai, you are truly capable"

The board of directors at the Hong Kong headquarters has undergone a change in ownership, with the family that has been working tirelessly deciding to withdraw their shares, while the shareholders supporting Mr. Ho have taken the stage

He took her to one exquisite dining experience after another without allowing for any discussion, ensuring that after indulging in food and drink, she had no thoughts left for those sticky notions.

Yang Xiaoguang turned her eyes and surrendered, stepping down with one foot: "The shrimp dumplings are indeed worth a try"

However, the reality is not as such; at the other end of the vast, clear, and pleasant lawn, there is a crowd of people. Yang Xiaoguang casually glanced at the scenery and spotted Fang Zhu among the crowd. She tilted her head and asked Mo Bei, "So you also invited Zhu, huh?"

The car behind honked its horn, prompting Mo Bei to sit up straight. In front of him, bicycles were weaving chaotically across the road. He pressed the horn and, during a brief pause, said: "In the future, read fewer of those messy romance novels; they are not beneficial for your normal thinking."

This is still better! Yang Xiaoguang exclaimed.

Pan Yilun further stated: "Yang Xiaoguang, you are too concerned with enjoying the happiness of the world before it arrives, and worrying about the troubles of the world after they have come."

Yang Xiaoguang remained respectful: "The boss has taught us many things; it was you who led me into this industry, and no one has more experience than you"

Pan Yilun smiled and looked at her twice more, noticing the adhesive bandage on her forehead. Yang Xiaoguang also noticed and covered her forehead with a wry smile, saying, "An accidental injury"

Yang Xiaoguang raised a hand to block, pushing against the car door, and asked him through the car window: "I mean, you are really not joking?"

Fang Zhu felt bored and was unwilling to remain in the venue to listen to the foreigner continue to show off, so he promptly withdrew from the crowd

Pan Yilun shrugged and asked, "Are there any other people?"

Yang Xiaoguang opened the drawer of the desk, revealing yet another drawer full of CDs, and said: "There is also this pile; the band you mentioned in your lyrics, Da Ming Yi Pai, is going to gather here for a concert."

The door opened, activated by Aunt Yang from upstairs. Mo Bei pushed the door open, allowing her to enter

The red light has not yet turned off, and Yang Xiaoguang is as anxious as if on fire. Unable to wait any longer, he directly asks: "What are you planning to do?"

Yang Xiaoguang poured orange juice for Pan Yilun and said, "Work, indeed. Work is becoming increasingly bothersome, and the trivial matters in the office are becoming more and more annoying."

This time he has returned, seemingly with the ambition to achieve great things

Pan Yilun clearly saw her as well, he stopped, silently glanced this way, taking everything in with his eyes, then lowered his head, turned slightly, without saying a word, and went straight into the building

This is beneficial for both you and me, and Mr. He possesses considerable ability

The person who said the last sentence is an intern who joined the company alongside Yang Xiaoguang, both of whom were brought into the industry by Philip. Therefore, Yang Xiaoguang immediately retorted: "You also mentioned that Philip is experienced and has greatly benefited you."

Pan Yilun is very polite and does not look around her house. She directly leads me into her room, where a large bookshelf immediately catches the eye, filled with CDs, including vinyl records, all exclusively of Leslie Cheung.

Mo Bei said: "Little Pig, you should learn him thoroughly."

Yang Xiaoguang let out a soft "hmph" through her nose and turned her head to see Mo Bei beside her also smirking slightly, a rather cold expression; their thoughts were in perfect agreement.

As the conversation was delayed, Yang Xiaoguang faced the ground, with his head forward, rushing towards the iron gate even before his body did, producing a solid thud. At this point, there was no need to ring the doorbell; Yang's mother's voice came directly from the intercom by the door.

Yang Xiaoguang was just about to take pride in this new nickname when Mo Bei asked, "How have you considered the serious issues at home?"

Smith's recent remarks, which were quite self-congratulatory, were delivered with considerable fluency. Noticing that the Chinese journalists present were listening attentively, he became even more arrogant, starting with the statement: "This is a rather foolish behavior. What we bring is an international brand concept, design philosophy, and management model, but the Chinese entrepreneurs with their humble backgrounds do not appreciate it."

Philip smiled, and the wrinkles on his face made Yang Xiaoguang feel a sense of pity

Fang Zhu's eyes flickered slightly as she took two small sips of tea and said, "Indeed, it reveals one's true nature"

Finally encountered Pan Yilun again, still in the elevator of the office building. He came with Mei Li for training. At this time, Pan Yilun already had sunglasses as a must-have item when going out, indicating that his star persona is beginning to take shape

She always walks in a hurried manner, yet loves to glance around at the scenery or ponder with her head down, which is indeed a bad habit

That's strange

However, He Zhixuan smiled and replied, "Let me take a closer look. I need to ask someone about the specific situation, and I will get back to you later"

Yang Xiaoguang spread his hands in a gesture of feigned innocence

Only she herself knows deep down that there is still a sense of uncertainty within her. In fact, she would seriously ask Mo Bei: "If we find that we are not suitable for each other after dating for a while, would it be a waste of time?"

Mo Bei furrowed his brow: "She—let her figure it out! Her father is ill, and her cousin is my buddy. I want to find an opportunity to persuade her as well. You are good friends, so your words will carry more weight. That’s why I borrowed you today."

Yang's mother was taken aback, while Yang's father hurriedly searched for the first aid kit, bringing out gauze and alcohol swabs

Pan Yilun asked her, "What is bothering you?"

At this moment, it just so happens to be a red light, and the flow of traffic on the road suddenly falls into silence, leaving only the car lights shining eternally. Stillness is truly frightening; in a situation where there is nothing to do, accidents are more likely to occur

However, people say: "Old Fei only knows how to do those three things and never innovates. The new person is creative and has rich practical experience, don't you have any experience with that?"

Yang Xiaoguang finished the orange juice, stood up, took a deep breath, and said with a smile, "So, are you saying that I deserve this?"

Mo Bei smiled with a hint of meaning: "Let us supervise 'Little Pig' at work"

Indeed, his demeanor is cool and detached, displaying appropriate politeness and subtle respect towards the judges and the audience, with a commendable grasp of balance. However, he always appears to be burdened with thoughts, wearing an expression that is both smiling and not smiling, melancholic yet not entirely so. It is precisely this enigmatic demeanor that drives his fans wild

I plead guilty, and I accept the consequences of my actions. She reflects on this with painful experience

Yang Xiaoguang nodded in distress

You too

He raised his cup, which still contained half a glass of orange juice, to clink with her empty cup: "Cheers to your perseverance"

Yang Xiaoguang expressed interest: "Do you also enjoy watching talent shows?"

Mo Bei asked: "Why do you have so many nicknames?"

It is evident that this is truly a national sport, with such a wide level of promotion among the general public

Aguang, you have finally come to your senses, and your father feels greatly relieved

"You will get yourself killed! Not paying attention while walking!"

Aren't you hungry

Fortunately, the dinner event personally arranged by Philip is progressing relatively smoothly. Old Chen has put in a great deal of effort, leveraging connections with the Culinary Association to summon chefs and waitstaff from five-star hotels across the country. He has managed to tackle this challenging task and has produced a proposal that pleases Philip. However, Philip remains noncommittal about several key details and does not provide any instructions, leaving Old Chen in a difficult position.

Yang Xiaoguang said: "It is not considered hard work, the company continues to pay salaries as usual, we should work diligently"

Pan Yilun said: "Always adhering to principles and maintaining one's true nature will undoubtedly be challenging"

What happened

She turned her body slightly, facing Mo Bei, who was looking at her. The distance was somewhat close, and she sensed something was amiss, wanting to lean back. However, Mo Bei reached out and placed his hand on the back of her chair, just in time to stop her movement

The main road is currently under construction for Metro Line N, the journey is rugged and congested, even a BMW cannot showcase its strengths, begrudgingly coiling in the middle of the road. Yang Xiaoguang's mind had just been stirred with anger, but at this moment, it twisted into a pretzel.

The boy who is younger than her is like a storybook; she has read the beginning, is unaware of the unexpected developments, and does not know how the ending will unfold

Upon entering, Yang Xiaoguang realized that before enjoying the shrimp dumplings, she had to accompany Mo Bei in hitting a few balls on the sprawling grass. She mumbled, "Am I just here to accompany the game?"

Yang's mother bandaged her wound in a chaotic and fearsome manner. While wrapping the bandage, she inquired about Mo Bei's condition. Yang Xiaoguang was already in a state of turmoil, overwhelmed by countless emotions and unsure of how to express them, yet she resolutely denied having such a boyfriend.

However, Yang's mother said: "After thinking it over, it still comes down to you not being proactive, being inherently lazy, just waiting for a pie to fall from the sky. Even when it falls right in front of you, you don't know how to cherish it. I don't know if it's the character of others that is problematic or if it's your character that is problematic!" Angered, Yang's mother organized the medicine box and left in a huff

When one grows old, one must accept aging. There is no longer any talk of an old steed in the stable still aspiring to gallop a thousand miles. I have not returned to Hong Kong for a long time, and now when I see the Huangpu River, I often think of my hometown's Victoria Harbour

Yang Xiaoguang looked at him; although this statement was made lightly, it struck a chord deep within her heart

Yang Xiaoguang was taken aback and lay down, looking up at the sky, wondering where in the heavens a pie has ever fallen from the sky

He waved his hand, signaling Yang Xiaoguang to leave, and Yang Xiaoguang quietly stepped out.

He Zhixuan also pays attention to Pan Yilun's performance in competitions, stating: "He is very intelligent and knows what the audience and judges like"

One disadvantage of not having a boyfriend is that when the computer breaks down, she has to either call the customer service of the computer company or carry the machine to the repair center at Hongtu Sanbao, both of which are time-consuming and labor-intensive tasks, thus causing her considerable distress

Yang Xiaoguang smiled and said: "I originally didn't know why he brought me here, but it seems that he actually brought me here to find you. I realized that he is a loyal friend."

Soon, the computer restarted, and Yang Xiaoguang changed to her own desktop wallpaper, featuring a cartoon girl sprawled out, shouting at the sky: "Annoyed!"

He took out a card and said with a smile, "You are truly a professional fan."

Yang Xiaoguang thought to herself that she had thus entered a season of bewildering romance

Although he sometimes comes to the training room upstairs for training, it is not easy to encounter him by chance

Yang Xiaoguang immediately looked towards Pan Yilun, who stood in front of her without saying a word, only hearing her sighing repeatedly into her phone.

Fang Zhu merely lowered her head to drink tea. Yang Xiaoguang listened beside her, feeling and understanding something in her heart. Mo Bei occasionally glanced at her, his expression filled with encouragement

Pan Yilun took the orange juice from her hand and said, "There is no ideal state in this world"

Mo Bei asked: "How to say?"

Fang Zhu revealed a hint of vulnerability in front of her friends, but it was merely a fleeting moment: "You do not understand."

Although personal matters may disrupt one's peace of mind, Yang Xiaoguang is still able to maintain clear thinking and an exceptionally upright attitude in his work. He adopts a stance of indifference towards the undercurrents within the company.

Old Chen stared blankly at Yang Xiaoguang for a while, realizing that his old subordinate had once again habitually zoned out. He then gently cleared his throat and said, "You have worked hard on the matters concerning 'Qili'"

Yang Xiaoguang saw Pan Yilun again on television, watching him participate in one competition after another, sometimes singing and sometimes dancing. Under the skillful crafting of a talented stylist, his appearance became increasingly refined, turning him into a shining figure under the spotlight

Father does not consider money when choosing a son-in-law, you do not need to force yourself, love is a personal matter, my daughter must choose her husband carefully, not only should character be considered, but it must also be assessed accurately

She said gloomily, "I went up."

As the car arrived at the foot of Yang's house, from a distance, Yang Xiaoguang noticed that the large window of her kitchen was open, and she caught a fleeting glimpse of her mother, Yang Ma. Her head felt heavy, and her heart was unsettled. She got out of the car quickly, like a deserter. She could only hear Mo Bei calling out from behind: "Don't bump into the iron gate"

Yang Xiaoguang said: "It is well said. I also believe that we should encourage our friends to strive for a harmonious family"

Mo Bei wanted to get out of the car to open the door for her: "If my heart is in turmoil, it indicates that I still possess charm; otherwise, I would truly need to reflect on myself thoroughly."

Alas! What am I to do with you, this fellow

When Mo Bei returned, the two girls had already eaten most of the snacks. After settling the bill, he drove them home, and along the way, they did not linger on the previous topic.

Old Fei is too conservative and clings to established practices, which will lead to difficulties. It is precisely because his performance has not significantly improved in recent years that he has fallen from grace

The city is so small that one can casually encounter a person repeatedly; yet the city is also so vast that suddenly that person seems to have vanished from your side. Although they appear to be very close, without intention, one cannot come across them.

Come a little closer, and you will be able to hear the questions from the people over there. The reporter who is currently asking the question is Fang Zhu: "Mr. Smith, could you please provide your evaluation of several Chinese brands acquired in the Greater China region?"

Yang's father walked in with a bottle of yogurt, sat down on the edge of the bed, opened the cap, and handed it to Yang Xiaoguang

I haven't thought it through yet said Yang Xiaoguang hesitantly

No need to think, it's just a meal, I am downstairs at your company!

Yang Xiaoguang came to his senses and nodded vigorously

Yang Xiaoguang waved her hand in a hurry, saying: "There are many projects recently, and I am pressed for time to meet deadlines. How could I possibly find the time to take leave?"

Who is that man? What do his parents do? I see he has a car, and he has also bought a house, right

Yang Xiaoguang did not expect that Mo Bei's decisiveness would be so swift. He had no intention of allowing her to ponder deeply. Within just a few days, she received his call at the end of the workday: "Shall we have dinner together?"

She could neither advance nor retreat, with no way out. Her face was flushed with a mix of green and red as she stared fixedly at Mo Bei, her only thought being whether she should come up with a suitable response to handle the awkwardness of the moment

Yang Xiaoguang stood up, hooking her arms around Yang Ba's neck, tears and mucus ready to flow together in a mingled mess

Yang Xiaoguang snorted coldly: "The face of an international sophister surpasses that of a rogue." She clenched her fist, feeling the blood begin to rush to her face

Mo Bei smiled: "Alright, no more nonsense, shall we find a place to eat?"

Mo Beishu raised her eyebrows and said: "You are too fond of helping others, heroine"

That is not good at all. Let the flashy BMW wait downstairs. She could not bring herself to be such a bad person, so she steeled herself to avoid a group of colleagues and stealthily made her way down the stairs

Yang Xiaoguang thought, this should be what dating is, right? But after a moment's reflection, the words that came out of her mouth involuntarily created distance: "How about I treat you to a meal next time? I heard that the steamed shad at Suzhou and Zhejiang Restaurant is the best in Shanghai, what do you think? I'm ready to spend some money."

On this day, Pan Yilun wore a blue fleece sweater and jeans, resembling the way I first saw him. His hair was unkempt, giving off a naturally messy appearance

Yang Xiaoguang said: "Fans are all sincere, so when you become popular in the future, you must treat your fans well"

Yang Xiaoguang did not pay attention to these matters; she was solely focused on turning on the computer and urging Pan Yilun to check the symptoms

After Mo Bei finished speaking, everyone laughed, and the atmosphere was particularly harmonious

Mo Bei wore a smile the entire way, locked the car securely, and felt absolutely wonderful

Yang Xiaoguang rolled up his sleeves and said, "No matter how many nicknames there are, I have decided to fight to the death against the foreigners. Hmph!"

Her head felt as if it had exploded, countless stars accompanying the flashing red lights. Yang Xiaoguang's heart was filled with trepidation, the scene was comparable to that of a heart attack. She had something to say, but when it came to her lips, she inexplicably uttered: "So romantic novels are all derived from life."

Therefore, domestic products need to strengthen themselves, and only then can their true colors be displayed

In the end, Yang's mother sighed helplessly, saying: "Alas, we do not want to pressure you. As a young woman, you are already of a certain age, and it is time to address that significant matter. I believe my daughter is not lacking; she is not unattractive, has a good education, and a stable job. Why is it that no good man has come to take care of her?"

Pan Yilun raised his eyes and saw the photo frame on the desk, which held a younger Yang Xiaoguang, probably not yet twenty years old, wearing a cotton skirt with Mickey Mouse on it, sitting on the grass and laughing carefree. He glanced at it twice, unable to resist looking again, his gaze almost nostalgic

Yang Xiaoguang's hand trembled in mid-air, feeling extremely awkward: "Why are today's children so impolite?"

Pan Yilun also smiled: "Indeed, it is well-deserved"

Mo Bei smiled and said: "Tonight, Cousin Fang Zhu's new restaurant is opening at the Bund, serving French steak, medium rare with blood, suitable for indulging in rich flavors."

Yang Xiaoguang agrees: "Yes, I can only regard smooth times as training and difficult times as tempering"

Yang Xiaoguang only felt that his smile resembled that of a cunning fox, not knowing how many twists and turns were in his heart

Yang Xiaoguang chose a Sunday when both Yang's father and mother were visiting relatives to invite Pan Yilun over to repair the computer

After Smith finished speaking eloquently, Fang Zhu took the lead in asking a question: "Recently, a well-established domestic skincare company has redeemed its own brand. I wonder how Mr. Smith views such an action?"

Yang Xiaoguang looked at Old Chen with some surprise; this was Philip's project, yet he had no qualms about asking He Zhixuan.

Yang Xiaoguang looked familiar. After a moment of thought, he realized that this foreigner was none other than the second-in-command of a world-class daily chemical group in the Greater China region, who had recently been quite successful. He had successfully acquired several well-established Chinese brands and was preparing to unify and integrate them for overseas listing.

She wonders, is love really supposed to be like this? Why does she feel such a sense of relief?

Yang Xiaoguang, you often create situations that leave people both amused and exasperated

Mo Bei did not move, neither advancing nor retreating, merely watching her

Yang Xiaoguang pointed at her opponent and said: "I am naturally computer illiterate and cannot handle reinstallation. Such tasks should still be left to men. In the future, when looking for a boyfriend, I must find someone who is skilled with computers"

As he gazed at the screen for those two or three moments, Yang Xiaoguang also fell into a daze; it was someone he was familiar with, yet at this moment, they appeared so unfamiliar.

Yang Xiaoguang's face turned red: "Nonsense."

Fang Zhu did not refuse, and he took two girls to the restaurant

Mo Beichao waved at her, and Fang Zhu was quite surprised, running over to tease them: "Did you come all the way to the suburbs for a date?"

Yang's father patted her on the head and also went out

The bicycle passed by, and Mo Bei started the engine. Yang Xiaoguang turned his head away, only looking at the scenery passing by outside the window
