Chapter 4

Xu Yuan could not help but curse: "Get lost. WeChat on call, it doesn't matter if you don't understand, you will understand soon."

The common tactics used by marketing companies are, in fact, of little practical value

She took a deep breath, regained her composure, and said, "Alright, perhaps we will meet again."

Is it really the case that if the person you like does not like you back, you must remain single for a lifetime? How is that possible? Xu Yuan knows that her life motto is that life is short, so one should enjoy it while they can

Has the headquarters lost their mind? Why are they still hiring new people at this time? Don't they have any awareness of the company's current situation? Salaries are about to be delayed, and they are still hiring people?

Thus, after a struggle that involved pulling and tugging in all directions, the entire process lasted another thirty seconds, yet the knot remained untied. She felt both angry and anxious, thinking that tonight was simply a joke. Over the years, she had enjoyed countless moments of glory, yet she found herself stumbling here, and particularly in front of him. The thought left her feeling resentful, just as she was about to ask the driver if he had scissors.

It is evident that the old gentleman does not place much importance on technical talents

Xiang Yuan did not pay much attention to the group and said nonchalantly: "Is that so? It's too dark, I couldn't see clearly. So he is not doing well, right? Look at the class monitor, the league secretary, and that basketball prince, which one is doing well? None of them are bald or overweight now"

It seems that the boss knows I am going to steal | take a photo of him. Where exactly did I reveal the information about my intention to steal | take a photo of him? Was it because I didn't add sugar to that cup of coffee earlier? Or was it because I stepped into the car with my left foot first? [Thinking]

Xu Yanshi

What exactly just happened? Did you hang up on me?

Someone has replied below

For a whole week, I have not stepped out of the garden

Cool response: "Sister, please calm down. It is said that rice was eaten. Perhaps some other food was also consumed"

At 3 PM, Xiang Yuan sat on the sofa, feeling bored, and casually scrolled through Weibo, inadvertently coming across a photo posted by Gao Leng.

As she was about to untie her hood, the two knots became completely unresolvable. No matter how she pulled, the drawstrings of the hoodie only tightened further, nearly choking her. She paused to catch her breath and said to Xu Yan: "You wait a moment."

It is the serious face that she often saw in the school exhibition showcase, a one-inch photo from that time completely depicting a youth. Although he has matured now, with sharper brows and eyes, he remains as indifferent as ever. One can imagine that when he was being photographed, those cold eyes looked at the camera without any hint of emotion.

A slender crescent moon hangs faintly in the sky, while the cold night wind wanders among the treetops, brushing against them. The solitary, frail figure is elongated by the streetlight, resembling a stray dog.

Lift it up

The driver coldly informed her that they had arrived

Xu Yuan is not wrong; he still possesses a youthful aura, even though he is nearly thirty

As she went upstairs, Xu Yuan's phone rang again.

Xiang Yuan did not dare to look in the rearview mirror, awkwardly sitting with her head covered. A thought flashed through her mind a thousand times: tonight is really not suitable for going out. The words "hello and goodbye" were stubbornly stuck in her throat. However, before she could speak, Xu Yan seemed to have lost her patience, resting her elbow on the car window, leaning loosely against the seat while looking at her, the veins on the back of her hand revealing a cold-blooded demeanor, casually urging her: "Get out of the car"

There is nothing worth watching on television, the curtains in the garden are drawn, and one leans back on the sofa, openly admitting it.

Wuwuwuwu, I want to see your leader. By the way, young man, which city are you in? Can I come to find you?

So what about now? What does it feel like to reunite

"Once you attain the golden body, you will become a Buddha. Holy Mother White Lotus, I still hope he lives well," Xu Yuan scoffed lightly, then returned to the main topic to remind her, "By the way, I heard that the old man has cut off all your financial sources and won't even let your brother visit you. I can't be of much help, so I can only offer you moral support from here. Let me share a few workplace maxims with you. There are many petty people in the workplace, and the ones you should be most wary of are not those white-collar elites; they often only seek the attention of men. It is those who wear black-rimmed glasses and have long, straight hair, appearing pure and harmless like little white rabbits, that you should truly guard against, for they desire not only the gaze of men but also the hearts of women. I won't say more for now; my boss is calling me."

Xiang Yuan was probably driven mad, yet he was still able to calmly recount the scene that had just occurred to Xu Yuan in the most objective language, detailing everything meticulously

She locked herself in the apartment at Nanyu Garden, not answering the phone, not stepping out the door, wearing a high-class world-weary expression, sitting cross-legged on the sofa with a pillow in her arms, absent-mindedly stuffing food into her mouth. The living room was filled with a chaotic and fragmented noise, and the television was playing her usual favorite idol drama—"You Listen to My Explanation, I Don't Listen." At this moment, it seemed a bit dull, as the male lead's icy poker face resembled Xu Yan's somewhat, but he was not as handsome.

Understood, "Xiang Yuan carefully savored the meaning behind these words, Zheng nodded seriously, "But why are you still at the boss's house in the middle of the night? Have you finally been subjected to the unspoken rules?"

I heard you are from the Broadcasting and Hosting Department. You are stuffing us with people; at least send someone related to the field, okay? Moreover, this person's resume is laughable. What is this, first prize in the 8th Children's Radio Gymnastics Competition, third place in the National Youth Swimming Competition, and president of the Mountaineering Association in college... The only credible achievement is the first prize in the Weide Cup Children's Group Aerospace GNSS Knowledge Competition... and it's for the children's group! Do you think you are a Calabash Brother? The only credible achievement is the first prize in the Weide Cup Children's Group Aerospace GNSS Knowledge Competition... and it's for the children's group! Do you think you are a Calabash Brother? Do you think this job application is going to save your grandfather? This is what the boss said, not me.

As Xiang Yuan took her luggage and got off the car, by the time she regained her senses, the vehicle had already driven far away. She stood there as if in a daze, firmly rooted in place like a wooden stake.

Oh

... ... '' Xu Yuan came to her senses, covering her mouth in disbelief, '' So he kicked you off the car? Is he really that heartless? ''

She pushed the luggage inside and said without much emotion: "I am going back to Beijing, and I can still kill you"

Before long, Gao Leng posted pictures of the return journey on Weibo

A week later, Xiang Yuan reported to Weilin Electronics Technology Company at the agreed time

How dare he add to it, given that he has ended up like this now

Is that so? Xu Yuan asked, "How is it now? Is it damaged? I am more concerned about this."

Hmm. He coldly turned his gaze back to the window

Thus, when I focused my attention and gradually looked down at the name column on the garden screen, I saw a string of letters. At first, I thought it was an English name, and I let out a long sigh of relief

Xu Yuan comforted her: "Don't overthink it; perhaps he just sees it as running into an ordinary old classmate. Isn't Xu Yanshi always indifferent to everyone? I remember someone mentioned in the group that they ran into him last time, and he left without even adding WeChat."

Xiang Yuan, with a carefree mind, stuffed a French fry into her mouth without chewing, holding it between her lips like a cigarette, her gaze blankly fixed on the television, her thoughts having long since drifted far away

It is said that Xu Yuan has gained weight, and I believe it; however, if it is said that he is bald, I would never believe it, even if you beat me to death. "Please don't retaliate against me. Let me tell you, I do have his photos. Someone shared them in the group last time, and I saved them. They said they met him at an event, and at that time, he wasn't selling cars, right? He might have changed jobs later. Moreover, I feel like he looks even more handsome in the photos. The girls in the group went wild, saying how everyone has gained weight, but he hasn't changed at all. He is almost thirty, yet he still maintains a youthful appearance; it's truly rare." Moreover, I feel like he looks even more handsome in the photos. The girls in the group went wild, saying how everyone has gained weight, but he hasn't changed at all. He is almost thirty, yet he still maintains a youthful appearance; it's truly rare.

When she arrived, she reviewed the financial statements of the past years from Weilin, and found that the salaries in the technical department were the lowest in the entire company. At that time, she felt this was somewhat unreasonable, but the old gentleman always believed that the sales department should take precedence.

It was only after finishing the photos that I realized what they referred to as "external expansion" was actually a company team-building activity. To put it simply, various departments gathered at a nearby beach or small island to have a barbecue, play volleyball, swim, and enjoy food and entertainment for an afternoon. In the end, the leaders of each department would give a summary speech to motivate everyone and boost performance.

"Little brother, you've gained weight again. I miss the boss as usual. The last time I saw your profile, I was really impressed by your handsomeness. Are you two in a relationship?"

XUYANSHI

As soon as Xu Yuan heard this, she was furious and was about to scold you, this fickle woman, but was interrupted by Xiang Yuan's words, "A long time ago, much earlier than Feng Jun. But at that time, he rejected me. You know I am not the type to cling stubbornly, nor would I give up an entire forest for a single tree. I cannot engage in that kind of foolish, years-long unrequited love for someone. Girls are so lovely; they should enjoy life, right? So I immediately changed my target. I have forgotten who it was. In any case, I stopped liking him a long time ago."

The garden fell silent

Despite his unkindness towards himself, the words he spoke to Xu Yuan that night were sincere. She hoped he would do well, have a good job, and with his abilities, it would be better for him to sell cars in such a small company, as at least there would be money.

... ...

... ...

On that day, the company organized an external outreach event, and all the offices were empty, leaving the entire building desolate.

He looks so handsome even with his clothes on, what kind of divine man is this? What did he eat to grow up like this!

The result was that on the employee wall of the technical department, I saw a familiar man's face

The boss usually does not want to take photos. Don't look for him today, there is no boss. For those who want to admire the boss's looks, wait and see if I can sneak a shot while he is asleep on the car.

Xu Yuan surprisingly found some reason in it, unable to find a point to refute. After a moment of silence, she tentatively brought up the topic again: "Hey, you two that night in the small grove..."

Xiang Yuan just wanted to say that this aloof boy is actually quite cute, but then the phone screen switched back to the Moments interface, and the atmosphere changed dramatically

Alright, I hope he is doing well. By the way, is your brother still changing cars

There are actually twenty to thirty replies below, while he only has a total of fifty followers, and surprisingly half of them are here to see Xu Yanshi.

@ Gao Leng is your uncle's very blunt reply @ Changshui Group is very Changshui: "What the hell." Being willful is also very straightforward, showing no concern about losing followers at all

What has this person been doing all these years

A photo of Xu Yanshi sleeping in the car, although he has a piece of clothing covering his forehead

This is not like our carefree General Xiang, can we speak honestly?

That evening, after Voldemort had greeted her, she intended to remove her hat and properly greet the person before explaining in earnest—"Xu Yanshi, classmate, I mean well, please do not misunderstand, I have no ulterior motives towards you." Or perhaps, she could elegantly say, "Hello, long time no see, how have you been lately?"

The moment Xiang Yuan saw the photo, the slight feeling of joy she had experienced vanished without a trace. She did not particularly wish to encounter Xu Yan here; for him, it was no different from selling a car.

Xiangyuan turned on the television, held the phone, aimlessly flipped through the channels, and said with a guilty conscience: "It has become incomplete, bald, and also gained weight"

Xu Yan rarely managed to lift the corners of her mouth in a smile

Xu Yuan could not discern the joking tone, her voice trembling inexplicably: "What... what happened?"

The receptionist, seeing that she was a new employee reporting for duty, remained seated, occasionally playing games like Chicken and Honor of Kings, showing no intention of greeting her. Xiang Yuan then went to the technical department by herself for a while.

In that situation, no matter how sharp-tongued Xu Yan might be, it would not be appropriate for her to show a cold face to the driver. Then, after asking a few casual questions and warmly reminiscing, she would roll her eyes and leave after getting out of the car, and they would likely never contact each other again, right

I will be kicked off the bus

I don't feel anything, but I know he is not doing well, so I am at ease.

It is not as sordid as you think, but I did indeed have feelings for him

After a while, she anxiously leaned back in to take a look.

The aloof individual, seemingly affected by some provocation, posted three consecutive updates on their social media.

Wait for me to show my face
