Chen Mai naturally knew he was finished.

He won't terminate the contract voluntarily because he can't afford to lose that much money.

He can only be trapped in this empty shell for the rest of his life.

He seems to have learned no economic lessons whatsoever.

But in reality, he had no future.

...

As for Zhong Yi not letting Jian Zhizhen come to see her, it really wasn't because she was sad.

Previously, after her affair with Chen Mai sparked discussion, she reminisced about the past at the company.

She saw a photo of her and Chen Mai together, deeply in love, when they were in love.

Her lips turned down. So many years of feelings gone, it's really heartbreaking. My heart still aches when I think about it now.

She saw that Yang Tao had invited her to discuss investment.

A smile played on her lips, as if she could already see a large sum of money pouring down in front of her.

She saw that some netizens left messages on Jinju's back-end, asking her how deeply she had been hurt.

Her lips turned down, she was truly deeply hurt, which has prevented her from starting a new relationship for so many years.

She noticed that Jinju's inbox had been flooded with resumes from many handsome, young, and energetic male celebrities.

She smiled and said, "So many handsome men, hahaha, we definitely need to recruit a few handsome male celebrities to the company, hahaha."

Her emotions rose and fell, rose and fell.

Her expression was a mix of laughter and something else entirely.

The corners of her mouth turned up, down, up, down.

Finally, my mouth went numb, and I couldn't open it properly to speak.

That's why he spoke unclearly when he called Chien Chih-chen.

There was no way to go out and pick up Jian Zhizhen, for fear that her appearance would frighten her.

She wasn't crying at home because her sad story had been revealed; she didn't shed a single tear.

She's holding a massager and massaging her face now; she should return to normal once her muscles relax.

But upon closer reflection, she also worried that the child would worry about her.

So he took the initiative to send a message to Jian Zhizhen: "Baby, I'm really fine. I'm going to talk to Yang Tao about cooperation tomorrow. You should rest at home these few days and spend more time with your parents."

...

When Qin Yubai dropped Jian Zhizhen off at her doorstep, she received a message from Zhong Yi, who also showed her a screenshot of the message sent by Yang Tao's contact person.

Jian Zhizhen was relieved to find that Zhong Yi was alright.

Standing outside the gate of the Jian family courtyard, Qin Yubai and Jian Zhizhen exchanged a glance, both feeling a little reluctant to part.

Qin Yubai kept thinking that their confession on the show was a kind of confession.

Since Jian Zhizhen didn't refuse, that means she agreed.

So she's my girlfriend.

Then I should hold her hand and say, "See you tomorrow."

Qin Yubai silently reached out his hand to Jian Zhizhen.

Just as he was about to touch her hand, Jian Ci's voice suddenly came from the courtyard: "Zhenzhen, Xiaobai, what are you two doing standing at the door?"

Qin Yubai quickly pulled his hand back.

Jian Zhizhen immediately walked over to Jian Ci and obediently called out, "Dad."

Qin Yubai met Jian Ci's ambiguous smile and thought he should greet him, so he nervously began, "Dad... no... hello Uncle Jian..."
