Extra 4 Charging

When Chen Huaixu just returned to China to start his own business, life was really not easy.

The connections of his mentors and seniors helped him a lot, so he didn't have to start from scratch. But everything was just getting started, and no one could guarantee what the future would hold.

Team members came and went. Most of those who left were those who doubted the company's future prospects and his own abilities, which he fully understood. But those who joined and stayed made him feel the burden on his shoulders even heavier.

The unwavering trust and the hard work of his golden years are as precious as gold, and he is unwilling to let them down.

All the expectations and pressure were on him, making him feel breathless.

That evening, he had just finished a long and tiring meeting. After leaving the company, he drove back to the gate of the residential complex, but instead of going in, he bought two bottles of beer at a convenience store and found a step to sit on in a nearby park.

When he first started his career, he made a small profit, which was considered outstanding by his peers. However, only he knew that this scale was far from enough.

It was a cold early winter day with biting night winds. The park was deserted and fallen leaves piled on the ground, forming whirlpools.

He bent his knuckles to open the can, tilted his head back to take a sip of beer, and stared into the distance in a trance.

Outside the low park walls, there are tall buildings, bustling and prosperous, with bright lights and wine, like another world.

"Chen Huaixu?" A familiar voice sounded.

He came to his senses and looked in the direction of the voice. Yan Zhen was standing at the bottom of the stairs, looking up at him.

"From a distance, I thought that back looked like you... I didn't expect it to be you..." She buried the lower half of her face in her scarf, revealing only a pair of beautiful eyes, which were filled with surprise. "Why are you here?"

He put down his beer, also a little surprised, and said: "I also want to ask, why are you here?"

"I just finished having dinner with my classmates nearby. I'm waiting for Uncle Li to pick me up so I can go for a stroll."

"Didn't your male classmates rush to take you home?"

She glared at him and said, "What are you talking about! I don't want them to send me off."

He flicked the can with his fingers, making a crisp sound, and chuckled softly, "I've given it to you so many times."

"What's with that tone of your voice?" She frowned, extremely dissatisfied. "You speak as if I'm forcing you."

He put down the can, and there was some moisture on the side of his finger, which he rubbed off gently.

"Of course not. It's my honor to serve the princess."

She is the only one in the world who can make him willingly be a driver.

"Again, can you be serious?" Yan Zhen was used to his words and walked up the stairs. "Isn't your house right next door? Why are you sitting here in the cold wind instead of going home?"

Chen Huaixu replied: "I'm just strolling around."

Yan Zhen saw the can beside him, pursed her lips, and tried to sit down next to him by stroking her long skirt.

The two of them met very rarely, but that didn't stop Yan Zhen from hearing Yan Zhao's recent news. Yan Zhen knew how much pressure he was under during this period.

The darkness before dawn is always hard to endure.

She rarely saw him with such a lonely back, sitting alone on the steps drinking wine, feeling lonely and cold, with an indescribable sour feeling.

Chen Huaixu was afraid that her beautiful skirt would get dirty, so he stopped her and said, "The ground is dirty and it's cold. You should go to a roadside shop and wait."

"If you can sit, why can't I sit?"

Seeing that she insisted, he did not try to stop her and wanted to take off his coat to cushion her. She refused and sat down neatly.

The two of them sat side by side, and for a moment the atmosphere suddenly became strange.

After a moment of silence, Yan Zhen studied his expression, her tone a little nervous: "You're not going to let it go, are you?"

He was amused and said, "I don't have anything to worry about."

She hesitated for a moment and asked tentatively, "Are you... having some problems at the company?"

"No, don't think too much."

Yan Zhen muttered, "You're being stubborn."

Seeing her ears flushed, Chen Huaixu sighed, "It's cold sitting here. Where's Uncle Li? I'll take you to the roadside."

"I don't need you to send me off." She hugged her knees, tapped her fingertips on the upper of her shoes, and then turned her head to look at him. "Take more care of yourself. You're wearing so little and still freezing here."

As if to prove her point, Yan Zhen reached out and held his hand on his knee, muttering: "Look, my hand is definitely warmer than yours——"

Her words stopped abruptly as she touched his warm hand, which was no colder than hers.

Suddenly embarrassed, she quickly retracted her hand, tilted her head to the other side, and whispered, "I'm in good health."

The soft hand touched her for a moment and then separated. He looked at the back of her head and subconsciously wanted to reach out and touch her, but restrained himself and stopped in mid-air. He reached down to pick up the can and took another sip of wine.

Finally, he just smiled and said, "Miss Yan, men and women should not touch each other."

Yan Zhen felt like her tail had been stepped on. She immediately turned her head and glared at him with some embarrassment and said, "I...I didn't mean that! How can you be like this? You take my kindness for granted."

She stood up with her bag and said, "I don't care about you."

However, this didn't seem to be enough to vent her anger. She took off her scarf, tied it around his neck, tied a knot, and tugged at it, saying, "I'll strangle you to death."

The warmth that was wrapped around his exposed neck spread over him, isolating him from the cold wind. He looked up and saw Yan Zhen had already hurried down the stairs.

The frail figure stopped, and Yan Zhen seemed to be hesitating about something. After hesitating for a long time, he finally made up his mind and turned around to shout at Chen Huaixu, "Go home early! No one will help collect your body if you get drunk!"

He raised the can and shook it at her, saying, "Drink it and go back."

Yan Zhen's back gradually disappeared into the night. He watched quietly with a smile on his lips.

The next day, Chen Huaixu arrived at the company early in the morning. His subordinates were surprised to see him in such a good state: "Boss, you look particularly energetic today. Have you come up with a solution to yesterday's plan?"

"Not yet." He paused for a moment. "But someone helped me recharge last night. I'm feeling pretty good now. We can have a meeting later to discuss it."

"What kind of battery is so powerful?"

Chen Huaixu walked forward slowly: "Secret."
