Chapter 84 "What's the tension? Continue?"
The Bugatti sped along the Beijing Avenue.
The coldness in the man's eyes almost froze the air.
"Knowing her as I do, she doesn't get angry easily; something must have hurt her..."
Yan Jinnian frowned deeply.
What could have hurt her so much that she left without saying goodbye and even blocked his contact information?
This matter must first and foremost be related to him.
But he was away these past two days, so she learned about him from elsewhere.
They had very few people they could interact with.
Someone whose name suddenly popped into my head—someone who was related to him and also connected to her.
Yan Jinnian gripped the steering wheel tightly with his knuckles.
He suddenly understood something.
…
On a private plane flying from Sydney to Beijing.
He Xiao handed his phone to Yan Wanqiu, who was standing next to him.
"what?"
The young lady glared at him, clearly annoyed.
He Xiao shrugged: "It wasn't me, it was your older brother who was looking for you."
"My older brother?"
Upon hearing this address, she immediately took the phone: "Hello? Big Brother!"
He Xiao: "..."
Yan Wanqiu's expression became respectful.
The whole process was like chicks pecking at rice:
"Yes, I'm already on the plane."
"About three hours left!"
"Huh? Oh... okay."
"bye…"
Hang up the phone.
He Xiao looked on with amusement: "Chunbao, why are you so afraid of him?"
Yan Wanqiu threw her phone into his arms: "I told you not to call me that! And it wasn't fear, it was... it was awe!"
Okay~
He Xiao raised his hand and clapped three times.
She frowned: "What's good about it?"
"What a terrifying sense of awe!"
"Get out of here!!"
"You want to get beaten up, huh?"
…
Three hours later, the plane landed on time on the helipad of the Yanzhai Sky Garden.
As soon as Yan Wanqiu came down the stairs, she saw the man standing on the balcony.
She couldn't help but shudder and pulled behind her, shouting, "Protect me!"
He Xiao curled his lips into a smile: "No! I also respect him."
"You'll have to figure it out yourself."
"Why!"
With her only human shield running away, she could only cautiously approach him: "Big...Big Brother, you were looking for me?"
The man extended his right hand towards her with a nonchalant expression.
"cell phone."
"Huh?" Yan Wanqiu was taken aback.
Why would I need her phone?
Despite her confusion, she didn't hesitate at all when taking out her phone.
The man took the phone she handed him.
"password."
"040823".
She watched nervously as her finger unlocked the screen.
A bad feeling gradually welled up in my heart.
Why is my brother suddenly checking her phone?
He's the kind of man who never even goes back to the Yan residence. Why is he suddenly back? Is it just to check her phone?
Thinking about the news from last year that her family had spent money to suppress it, she seemed to understand something.
"Big brother!"
Yan Wanqiu confidently proved herself to the man.
"Don't worry, I will never smoke that stuff!"
"I'm a model youth who firmly loves the Party and the country, how could I do that kind of thing!"
The man ignored her.
He lowered his head, staring coldly at the screen in his hand.
His gaze gradually turned icy and chilling.
"..." Now she felt even more uncertain.
Isn't this what you're investigating?
What else could it be?
I was just thinking about it.
"A Banquet in Late Autumn".
"Uh...present!" She straightened her back instinctively.
The older brother's face looked even more frightening than before!
Yan Jinnian returned the phone to her.
"Report to the company tomorrow. If I ever see you absent from work for even a single day, you can stay in Australia and never come back."
"!!"
What?
Before she could even be shocked, the man had already turned and left.
Yan Wanqiu stared blankly at his retreating figure.
"..."
no?
What did she do to deserve this?
Why is checking her phone considered a restriction on her personal freedom?
Has my brother gone mad?
He Xiao, who had been watching from the corridor, walked over at the opportune moment when he saw this scene: "That's great, Chunbao! From now on, I'll deliver your loving lunch to the Yan family every day."
Yan Wanqiu: "?"
"I'll give you a tomato from eight generations of your ancestors!!"
He Xiao: What language is this?
…
Hot pot restaurant.
The two players who had already won their first round were now at halftime.
Anmi put down her phone and said hesitantly, "Caicai, I'm thinking of resigning."
"ha?"
Tang Cai was shaving ice when she heard what she said, and she almost broke the spoon in her hand.
"Are you crazy? It was just a quarrel, why are you so upset? You're even willing to give up your job?"
Anmi shook her head: "It's not that I'm thinking of doing something drastic..."
It is precisely because I have come to this realization that I no longer want to continue making the same mistakes.
Tang Cai thought for a moment: "Is it because of Yan Jinnian?"
In fact, she could sense that Yan Jinnian was no ordinary person.
But she dared not guess in that direction.
After all, they and Wanqiu will continue to be best friends.
She sighed, "Honey, I'll support whatever you want to do. If you want to move out, I'll move with you, and we'll find a place ourselves. If all else fails, we can go back to our shabby little house. Anyway, the landlord still has our deposit."
Anmi sniffed: "Caicai..."
"Alright, alright! Stop getting all emotional!"
Tang Cai interrupted her: "Have you thought about how to bring it up?"
"As your best friend, I support you, but as a friend, I still have to advise you: jobs are hard to find, you must think it through."
Anmi nodded: "This is a decision I made after careful consideration."
"Then I'm all set."
Tang Cai spread her hands: "If you cry, I'll cry with you; if you make a scene, I'll make a scene with you."
"Whether you're in glory or down on your luck, your best friend will always be there for you!"
Waaaaah…
Anmi held back her tears and picked up her phone.
A long paragraph of text has already been edited in the dialog box.
She clicked confirm and sent these to Tan Tao.
I didn't receive a reply all night.
There was none the next day either.
On Monday morning, she got up an hour early to take the subway.
On the way, she mentally rehearsed the words she would need to use during her resignation interview.
Because of the long distance, she arrived at the office right on time.
As soon as she arrived at her workstation, she saw her colleagues standing in a circle around her seat.
Anmi asked, somewhat puzzled, "You guys?"
Bang--!
Suddenly, there was a loud bang, and countless colorful sequins floated down from above.
Before she could even recover from the shock, the manager shoved a bouquet of flowers into her arms.
"Congratulations to Anmi, an outstanding employee of my department, on her transfer to the Secretariat!"
Let's all congratulate her!
Congratulations!
Anmi was completely stunned by the cacophony of congratulations.
who?
she?
Secretariat?
Wasn't she going to resign?
Why was I transferred?!
And when did she ever say she wanted to be a secretary?
ah?
Is nobody going to do anything about this?!
Unfortunately, her heartfelt words were drowned out by the continued sound of fireworks.
After the celebration, Tan Tao led her to the 42nd floor.
Anmi looked at the floor numbers displayed on the screen and felt vaguely uneasy.
After getting off the elevator, Tan Tao led her through three gates and knocked on a large black door.
"Enter."
A deep voice came from inside.
The door panel was heavy, and Anmi couldn't make out the gist of it.
Tan Tao said to her, "You can go in now, I have to get back to work."
He left after he finished speaking.
Anmi nervously pushed open the door and went in.
It was a huge office inside.
The room is about 400 to 500 square meters, and the floor-to-ceiling windows offer a panoramic view of the entire Lingyang District.
Behind the desk is a sofa chair with its back to the outside.
It looks like someone is sitting on it.
Her legs trembled with nervousness.
Since joining Yan's company, she has only interacted with employees in her own department.
Apart from Wanqiu and Monica, I don't recognize any of the others.
Secretariat?
Could this person be the manager of the secretariat?
Although she was preoccupied with quitting her job, she felt she had to greet everyone since she was new there.
Anmi took a deep breath and relaxed.
"Hello manager, this is Anmi..."
The leather seat made a soft rubbing sound.
She immediately held her breath and shut her mouth.
Oh no, did I disturb them?
But she couldn't just stand there without saying a word.
Ugh... this is truly hell for humans...
I was terrified for a while.
A large, bony hand suddenly reached out from the armrest.
The long legs encased in trousers caused the chair to rotate.
Anmi heard a smooth click from the sofa chair.
The chair spun around, and a cold yet familiar gaze instantly locked onto her.
In the center of the long table, the man leaned lazily against the back of his chair, his voice low and alluring.
What's there to be nervous about?
"continue."
