At 32 years old, Chi Chan, single since birth, lived a struggling life, exhausted every day just to survive.
At 16 years old, Chi Chan was spirited and full of confidence, ready to enter a ne...
Chi Chan and Ji Siyuan had studied medicine for eight years. After graduation, they had almost all of their luggage, but there were some valuable items that they needed to use at any time, so they had to bring them back with them.
Ji Siyuan had originally taken all the luggage, but he couldn't resist Chi Chan's insistence, so Chi Chan took one of his suitcases away.
Now, Linda has also taken this small suitcase.
"Jiajia, Zhiyuan, Dage, long time no see!"
"Xiao Chan, Si Yuan, welcome home!"
Chi Chan smiled and gave Lin Da and Zhuo Zhiyuan a brief hug each.
After hugging Chi Chan, when the two hugged Ji Siyuan again, Ji Siyuan's hug clearly carried a hint of venting his anger.
"What's wrong with you, Ji Siyuan? I just hugged your girlfriend, is it necessary to be so forceful? Getting jealous over this is going too far!"
So many years have passed, and those little conflicts from back then have long been forgotten, but Zhuo Zhiyuan still can't stand Ji Siyuan's sharp tongue and will occasionally retort to him.
"Alright, alright, enough talk, hurry up and move your luggage!"
Shu Jia shoved Zhuo Zhiyuan aside, took the spot next to Chi Chan, and enthusiastically took Chi Chan's arm.
"How come the fearsome CEO Shu, who's known throughout Chenxing, becomes such a clingy person in front of me?"
Chi Chan teased.
"Oh my, it's only been a few months, Xiao Chan, why are you so sharp-tongued again?"
Even though they have all achieved success in their careers and become successful in the eyes of their parents and others, their close friendship remains unchanged and has only grown stronger over time.
Like a jar of fine wine, the longer it ages, the better it becomes.
Has your company made a decision?
Linda asked the two of them.
“I got a postdoctoral research position at Nanxing University. As for Si Yuan, needless to say, he’s definitely going home to inherit the family business.”
Chi Chan answered Lin Da.
"As expected of Dr. Chi, he has perseverance. He studied medicine for eight years and still wants to go back to school to do research? I can't do that. I was already sick of studying my major after four years."
Shu Jia is now the Brand Operations Director at Chenxing Media.
"Where to? The Chi family or the Ji family?"
Zhuo Zhiyuan, who had left first, arrived in a stylish SUV.
"Go to Jinglan Mansion."
Jinglan Mansion is located in the prime downtown area of Xingcheng City, and is a newly built residential complex after a village in the city was demolished last year.
It boasts an excellent location with complete surrounding amenities. It's a 15-minute walk to Nanxing University and only a short drive to Jishi Hospital.
Ms. Gu made a large purchase of a single-level apartment in Jinglan Mansion as a graduation gift for him and Chi Chan.
"Wow—Mr. Zhuo changed cars again?"
Chi Chan paced back and forth a few times, admiring the cool off-road vehicle.
The last time she came back, Zhuo Zhiyuan picked her up in the company's commercial vehicle.
"There's a really popular idol drama online lately. Shu Jia, that woman, took a liking to the male lead's car and even made up an excuse to tell me that she wanted to travel to Inner Mongolia. She kept saying that she bought the car so she could go on a road trip in Inner Mongolia. I couldn't persuade her otherwise, so I changed my car!"
Zhuo Zhiyuan explained it clearly in just a few words.
Shu Jia pulled Chi Chan into the back seat and retorted to Zhuo Zhiyuan, "What do you mean I'm clamoring to change cars? You clearly saw it yourself and thought it was pretty cool and wanted to change it too, okay?"
Chi Chan watched the bickering couple with a smile.
After Linda and Ji Siyuan loaded their luggage into the trunk, they also got into the car, and the five-seater car was immediately packed with people.
Chi Chan and Ji Siyuan held hands tightly. Ji Siyuan's eyes were fixed on Chi Chan as he sat quietly in the carriage listening to the others talk.
Next to Chi Chan was Shu Jia, her face full of life, chattering away.
In the driver's seat was Zhuo Zhiyuan, who would occasionally retort to Shu Jia while making witty remarks.
In the passenger seat was Linda, who occasionally joined the conversation and offered insightful observations.
A happy smile appeared on Chi Chan's face.
That's great, everything is changing for the better.
Zhuo Zhiyuan stepped on the gas, the SUV started, and the five people headed towards a bright future.
