Yang Yajing felt her life was utterly worthless—single at 36; meager salary absolutely insufficient to cover her mother's medical expenses.
Her best friend not only stole the man she...
Secretary Huang is completely taken aback by Xia Changlong's actions! She has no idea what her boss is up to, so how is she supposed to respond?
"I...it was me...I was the one investigating..." Secretary Huang stammered out.
"Secretary Huang?" Yang Yajing asked, but her tone was very certain. "Don't meddle with your boss. He's disrespectful to his elders and can't be a role model for you."
Secretary Huang had never heard anyone criticize Xia Changlong to his face as "disrespectful to elders," and he was speechless for a moment.
This girl is incredibly brave!
"Not decisive? Almost? Stop whining? Are you always so fussy?" Yang Yajing squinted.
"Yingduo? What's that?" Xia Changlong asked Secretary Huang.
“Dry…instant noodles. A type of…instant noodles.” Secretary Huang shrank his neck.
"Eat less of this stuff! It's not nutritious!" Upon hearing the words "instant noodles," Xia Changlong actually started lecturing Yang Yajing.
Yang Yajing was both amused and exasperated: "Boss Xia, are we discussing food right now? Are you changing the subject? Do you think I'm three years old?"
"Hmph!" Xia Changlong, unable to back down, resorted to shamelessness. "So what if I investigated? I need to be aware of things. If he's unreliable, I should at least take some precautions for you, right?"
"Boss Xia, do you own the Yangtze River estuary? You're really meddling in other people's business!" Yang Yajing rolled her eyes. "Why don't you just do it? How exactly do you want to do it?"
"Just like I was back then!" Xia Changlong stood up abruptly and walked up to Zhou Pengfei, who was completely bewildered. "You kid! It's your good fortune that that girl likes you! What kind of behavior is this, stammering like that?"
"Huh?" Zhou Pengfei was even more confused. Wasn't it him who had taken a liking to Yang Yajing? How did he get it backwards?
"Repeat after me!" Xia Changlong pointed at Yang Yajing, "I, 'Zhifengcao,' like you, 'Yunshijin'! I want to be your boyfriend!"
"..." Zhou Pengfei's mind went blank for a moment, and his face flushed red to the roots of his ears. However, "Wait! Who did you say? 'Zhifengcao'? 'Yunshijin'?"
"Boss Xia!" Yang Yajing sighed, wondering if this was helping or making things worse. "He still doesn't know who 'Yun Shijin' is!"
"Huh? He's such a scoundrel?" Xia Changlong looked at Yang Yajing, then back at Zhou Pengfei. "We don't want someone as muddle-headed as him. I'll introduce you to someone better!"
"Xia Changlong!" Yang Yajing shouted his name, "Whose boyfriend are you or mine? Don't interfere! Go cool off somewhere else!"
Secretary Huang: "..."
Zhou Pengfei: "..."
Xia Changlong: "..."
After a while.
"You call him Xia Changlong? He is Xia Changlong? That Xia family tycoon Xia Changlong?" Zhou Pengfei finally came to his senses.
"Ignore him! Let's sort things out first?" Yang Yajing scratched her head.
"Us?" Zhou Pengfei suddenly regained his senses. "You're 'Yun Shijin'? You're actually 'Yun Shijin'? When did you find out? Why didn't you tell me?"
"Hmph! You're the only one who's stupid!" Xia Changlong interrupted again, but this powerful figure was silenced by Yang Yajing's glare.
"I've known about it for a while now." Yang Yajing sat down opposite Zhou Pengfei again. "You like 'Yun Shijin'?"
"I like her. No! No, I like Yang Yajing! No... that..." Zhou Pengfei was a little incoherent. His little secret had been exposed by a strange big shot without any warning, and his face was still burning.
"Which one do you like?" Yang Yajing suddenly found Zhou Pengfei's behavior incredibly cute.
"Well... I thought I liked 'Yun Shijin' before, but yesterday I realized I like... like..." Zhou Pengfei was too embarrassed to say the word "you".
Xia Changlong added directly: "I like that fierce girl!"
"Where did I go wrong?" Yang Yajing yelled again.
Secretary Huang thought to himself, "He's really fierce right now!"
"Yang Yajing... why didn't you tell me sooner? You made me think I was promiscuous and liked two people at the same time..." Zhou Pengfei said somewhat embarrassedly.
"Have you made your choice yet?" Yang Yajing asked, resting her chin on her hands and blinking as she looked at Zhou Pengfei.
Zhou Pengfei stared directly at Yang Yajing and suddenly found her expression incredibly cute! His heart fluttered, butterflies danced in his eyes, and he felt an overwhelming sweetness.
"I... like you!" Zhou Pengfei declared earnestly. "I, Zhou Pengfei, like you, Yang Yajing! I like you very much, and I want to be your boyfriend! Do you... like me?"
"I love it!" Yang Yajing smiled sweetly, which made Zhou Pengfei's heart skip a beat, and he was so happy he was completely overjoyed.
"What are you grinning about? It's settled? If it's settled, let's go get the marriage certificate!" Xia Changlong suddenly appeared again.
Zhou Pengfei: "..."
Yang Yajing: "..."
Secretary Huang: "He's not old enough yet..."
Xia Changlong: "You kid! You're so young, why are you in such a hurry to get married? Get engaged first!"
Secretary Huang's narration: "It was you, boss, who suggested the marriage..."
"Boss Xia? Finished watching the show? Had enough of stirring up trouble? Feeling free?" Yang Yajing tilted her head and looked at Xia Changlong.
"What's there to be idle about?" Xia Changlong said smugly. "Now that you've got your boyfriend sorted out, can we talk about work?"
"Boss Xia, it's after get off work hours now. Even if you want to be a skinflint, you have to give me a date time, right? I just got a boyfriend, and we haven't even gone on a date yet!" Yang Yajing looked at Xia Changlong with a smile.
"Zhou Pengfei, right?" Xia Changlong glanced at Zhou Pengfei, then said to Secretary Huang, "Draft an engagement agreement and get him engaged. The sooner it's done, the sooner we can get down to business!"
"Huh?" Secretary Huang was dumbfounded. What kind of operation was this?
