The layoffs at YATEN YUANGEGU have affected all employees, creating a tense and anxious atmosphere that is almost suffocating.
To keep their jobs, people resorted to all sorts of tricks: some entertained clients, some designed plans, some flattered their superiors...
Chu Fang sighed.
well!
It's not easy for anyone.
He slowly withdrew his gaze and looked at the chubby boy next door, who was also busy working, writing and drawing. He spoke unhurriedly, "Chubby boy."
"What's wrong, Brother Chu?" Cai Guan snapped out of his daze and tilted his head to look at him.
"Want to change jobs?" Chu Fang remained in that half-asleep, lazy posture, a stark contrast to those around him, like the brightest star in the night sky.
"Uh..." The chubby boy scratched his face, a clear look of stupidity appearing in his eyes. "Besides designing, I can't do anything else."
Chu Fang rolled his eyes. He said he was changing jobs, not changing positions.
"Ahem, ahem." He coughed a few times, then sat up straight, his expression serious and earnest. "Um... your sister Zhong is planning to resign and open a studio, and they're short-staffed right now. Are you interested?"
Zhong Tingyue highly values and appreciates Cai Guan, who has strong design talent and ability and is immersed in the world of design. He is a promising talent.
He plans to poach the chubby boy.
“Sure.” The chubby Cai Guan was incredibly happy and nodded without hesitation. “Sister Zhong has helped me so much at the company, and I am very grateful to her. It would be an honor for me to continue working with her. Why not?”
"Then it's settled." Chu Fang chuckled, patting the other person on the shoulder as he said, "Salary, working hours, and work location are all to be determined, but don't worry, the studio's future is definitely bright and limitless, and we will definitely treat you well."
The chubby boy smiled broadly, seemingly agreeing with Chu Fang's empty promises and not feeling deceived despite it being an unestablished shell company.
Chu Fang was not surprised by Cai Guan's reaction; in fact, it was within his expectations.
The chubby guy had only been with the company for a few months, so he hadn't developed a strong sense of belonging. He didn't agree with the semi-sales aspect of being a designer, and sales was simply too difficult for an introverted person.
He preferred to immerse himself in his own world, focusing on interior design and not worrying about external matters.
Zhong Tingyue is his idol and role model.
Secondly, Cai Guan is not short of money. He is a native of Shanghai, speaks fluent Shanghai dialect, and is an only child from a well-off family.
Xun's attitude towards going to work at the company was similar to Chu Fang's; it was just a way to kill time.
Of course, Cai Guan was much more ambitious than Chu Fang.
The two should not be confused.
Fatty Cai Guan continued working with the mouse when he suddenly remembered something, and curiosity appeared on his chubby face: "Brother Chu."
"Hmm." After finishing his business, Chu Fang slumped into his chair, staring at the ceiling, bored and humming softly.
"You and Sister Zhong... ..."
He immediately guessed what the other person wanted to say, his eyes slightly opening, a glint of light flashing across his pupils: "Pretty much the same."
"oh oh."
"You don't seem surprised?"
"Sister Zhong looks at you differently."
Chu Fang raised an eyebrow and turned to look at the other person: "You figured it out again?"
The chubby boy didn't want to discourage Chu Fang, but he also didn't want to lie, so he nodded gently: "Mm."
“... ..."
paralysis!
How come everyone can see that they like each other, but the two people involved don't see it and need outsiders to remind them?
The saying goes, "Those involved are often confused, while bystanders see things clearly," right?
... ...
Over the next few days, Zhong Tingyue dealt with Sister Ma's case, racking her brains to redesign a better renovation plan that met the other party's requirements. After Sister Ma saw it, her anger subsided and she smiled happily.
The grudges between the two parties were resolved.
What followed was submitting her resignation to Ma Junjie, who sighed and agreed.
Zhong Tingyue then took care of her work before leaving and handed the project over to other employees.
The already somber atmosphere in the company intensified, as if dark clouds had materialized and were about to fall, threatening to crush everyone.
Everyone understands that the first person to leave the company has appeared; it is Zhong Tingyue, whom everyone respects.
One can't help but feel a sense of sorrow, like the fox mourning the death of its rabbit.
Chu Fang, on the other hand, was sitting with his legs crossed, looking relaxed and carefree.
These past few days, he and Zhong Tingyue went to the company together, chatting about happy things; they went to work together, looking at each other while working, their hearts filled with warmth and emotion; they left work together, and after work, they went to the market to buy groceries, and after buying groceries, Chu Fang went to the apartment she and He Yi rented to cook.
Chu Fang cooked, while Zhong Tingyue assisted by chopping and washing vegetables. If He Yi, the third wheel, were removed, it would be Chu Fang's dream world for two, a life he had fantasized about for a lifetime.
Their constant companionship and inseparable companionship finally caught the attention of the company's employees. After all, they weren't stupid; they could see the ambiguous glances exchanged between the two.
Of course, the most important thing is that they didn't deliberately hide it from their colleagues; they were just dating, so there was nothing to hide.
Show it off openly and confidently in normal times.
Having finally finished her work, Zhong Tingyue stretched, glanced at Chu Fang who looked half-asleep, a slight smile playing on her lips, stood up, and walked toward the manager's office.
I knocked on the door, and there was an echo from inside. I pushed the door open and went in.
Ma Junjie suddenly became serious, having already guessed the reason for the other party's visit, and a sense of sadness welled up in his heart.
"I'm leaving now. Thank you for taking care of me all these years," Zhong Tingyue said solemnly.
"Sigh!" Ma Junjie sighed, exhaling the frustration in his heart. He tried his best to maintain a calm demeanor, not wanting to lose his manners in front of the other party, and even less wanting to look pitiful, which would be too unsightly.
He chuckled nonchalantly and continued, "I've been pursuing you wholeheartedly for years. Even an iceberg would melt, but I just couldn't melt your heart. I thought you treated everyone the same way, so why did you change your attitude towards Chu Fang? I really can't understand it!"
He thought he had figured it out, but his thoughts still stalled when he faced Zhong Tingyue.
Or rather, they are unwilling to accept that fact.
"I'm sorry," Zhong Tingyue's voice softened unusually, "I..."
"Stop talking, it's pointless." Before she could finish speaking, Ma Junjie waved his hand, interrupting her. "What's done is done, words of comfort are meaningless, I don't want to hear a single word."
He paused for a moment, then continued, "I wish you both a long and happy marriage, and that you grow old together in harmony."
These are heartfelt words, and there is absolutely no sarcasm or curse intended.
His beloved has left, and he only hopes that she will have a good future.
