After a brief moment of tenderness, Wang Hu began to dress, while Chen Linlin watched him silently, a hint of longing in her eyes. Once dressed, Wang Hu noticed Chen Linlin hadn't come out yet, so he sat on the bed waiting, mentally planning how to discuss resigning with her. Chen Linlin was the first woman in his two lives, making her incredibly significant to him.

Wang Hu had been sitting on the bed for less than 10 minutes when his phone suddenly rang. He took it out and saw that the caller ID showed Zhang Feng. When he answered, Zhang Feng's angry voice came through: "Wang Hu, are you playing a trick on me? I've been knocking on the door for ages and no one's opened it!"

Wang Hu was startled; he hadn't expected Zhang Feng to actually come. He'd thought she was just joking, but she'd actually shown up. He felt a pang of guilt, but also a sense of helplessness. He thought for a moment and decided it was best to go find Zhang Feng first; after all, it wasn't appropriate to leave a woman waiting outside his hotel room. As for resigning, he'd have to deal with that tomorrow.

Wang Hu got up and walked to the bathroom door. He knocked gently and said to the person inside, "Linlin, a friend of mine needs to see me urgently, so I have to go now."

"Who is it? Why are they calling you so late? Can't you go tomorrow?" Chen Linlin's voice was filled with dissatisfaction and reluctance. She had overheard some of the conversation when Wang Hu answered the phone and knew it was a woman calling him, so she was very unhappy and didn't want him to leave.

"A friend of mine, someone you don't know, has something urgent to attend to, I have to go." Wang Hu's tone was somewhat hurried; he knew he couldn't waste any more time.

Hearing that he was still leaving, Chen Linlin became even angrier. She walked out of the bathroom naked, and as soon as she opened the door, she heard a loud bang—Wang Hu was gone. Enraged, Chen Linlin grabbed a pillow and pounded it on it, her heart filled with disappointment and resentment. She didn't understand why Wang Hu was in such a hurry to leave; was that woman more important than her? The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, and tears streamed down her face.

Wang Hu walked out of Chen Linlin's rented room, took out his phone and checked the time; it was already 9:40.

He jogged downstairs and ran towards the hotel. On the way, he ran into Zheng Jun and the fat woman. The two were very intimate, and Zheng Jun even exchanged a glance with Wang Hu.

Wang Hu ignored him and walked past him. Zheng Jun tried to stop Wang Hu from talking nonsense, but Wang Hu simply ignored him and left, making Zheng Jun feel a little embarrassed.

When the fat woman saw Zheng Jun and Wang Hu exchanging glances and Zheng Jun trying to stop Wang Hu, she asked him, "Do you two know each other?"

Zheng Jun answered hesitantly, "My men are working on the printing press up ahead." His voice trembled slightly, as if he were terrified of the fat woman.

The fat woman's eyes lit up; she had noticed Wang Hu when he was running. He was over 1.8 meters tall, handsome, wearing tight jeans and a tight short-sleeved shirt that accentuated his muscles, and he was particularly attractive when he was running.

"Introduce him to me." The fat woman made no attempt to hide her interest and directly gave the order to Zheng Jun.

Zheng Jun's face darkened further upon hearing the fat woman's words. He was extremely unwilling, after all, the two of them had just slept together, and now he had to introduce Wang Hu to her. However, he dared not refuse, and could only whisper, "Okay." His tone was full of helplessness and obedience, as if he had no power to resist this fat woman.

Wang Hu ran all the way to the hotel in three minutes. Just as he was about to get on the elevator, he heard Zhang Feng calling him from behind.

"Wang Hu, you rushed up here without even looking around." Zhang Feng's voice carried a hint of reproach, but more so, joy. Watching Wang Hu run back, a warm feeling welled up in her heart.

She really liked Wang Hu's handsome face; it possessed an irresistible charm. Seeing him run in just now had a tremendous impact on her. She thought to herself, "This man is becoming more and more charming; every time I see him, my heart races."

But when she got closer to Wang Hu and smelled a certain odor, her face instantly turned ugly. She knew exactly what that smell was, and her joy was instantly replaced by anger. She grabbed Wang Hu's ear and demanded, "You invited me here, and then you went off to have fun somewhere else. What do you take me for?"

As she spoke, Zhang Feng released Wang Hu's ear, her eyes red, and squatted down to sob. Her heart was filled with grievance and disappointment; she never expected him to do such a thing.

Wang Hu remarked on how sensitive this woman's nose was. First there was Meng Zhiyun, then Zhang Feng. Wang Hu was no longer the naive newcomer he once was; after dealing with Meng Zhiyun, he had gained some experience.

He looked at Zhang Feng, who was squatting on the ground crying, and felt a pang of guilt. He knew that his actions had hurt her, and he should cherish her feelings even more. He took a deep breath and gently picked Zhang Feng up.

Zhang Feng struggled for a moment, but couldn't break free. Her body trembled slightly in Wang Hu's embrace, her heart filled with conflict. On one hand, she felt angry and disappointed at Wang Hu's behavior; on the other hand, she couldn't resist his embrace, and deep down, she liked him very much.

Wang Hu sensed Zhang Feng's struggle, so he hugged her even tighter and said gently, "I'm sorry, Feng'er."

Hearing Wang Hu's words, Zhang Feng's anger gradually subsided. She looked up into Wang Hu's eyes, her own eyes glistening with tears. She knew Wang Hu was genuinely apologizing, and she was willing to believe he would change.

Seeing that she had stopped struggling, Wang Hu gently kissed away the tears on her face. Zhang Feng, somewhat intoxicated by the kiss, began to respond to him.
