Chapter 43 No Courage to Fight

He came from a small city, and his family's conditions were not very good. His mother had no job, and he had a younger sister. However, he had given his family a lot of money over the years, and now his family's conditions were much better. He knew that Lu Junze was secretly helping him by giving him a high salary in the past two years.

He didn't know this at first and thought everyone was about the same. Later, at a college reunion, when everyone talked about work benefits, he realized that he was much better off than his classmates.

He thought that Shengshi's salary and benefits were better than those of other companies. However, after he became a long-time employee and started job interviews, he realized that Shengshi's salary for new employees was not that high.

It was not until there was a comprehensive investigation before becoming the assistant to the president that he realized how silent Lu Junze's kindness was.

He had no way to repay her, so he just worked harder and took better care of Lu Junze's life.

Over the years, he has been by Lu Junze's side, watching him lead the company to become stronger step by step. No one knows that behind his ease, he also has sleepless nights.

He had always thought that with Lu Junze's position, life should be easy and free, and he didn't understand why he had to work so hard.

He really asked himself, to this day, Shengshi’s position is basically unshakable, so why should he work so hard?

Lu Junze just smiled and told him that his responsibility was here and that the employees followed him to earn money to support their families.

While Ye Jingzhan was still reminiscing, the driver had already arrived. Lu Junze threw the cigarette butt to the ground and stomped it out.

"Let's go. I'll ask the driver to take you first." Lu Junze turned around and called Ye Jingzhan.

Ye Jingzhan refused. It was already late and the place where he lived was not in the same direction.

"I'll take a taxi back from here. It's very convenient." He opened the car door for Lu Junze but did not get in himself.

Lu Junze did not insist and nodded: "Be careful on the road."

Ye Jingzhan stood there and watched Lu Junze's car drive away, and only turned around and left when it merged into the traffic.

He did not take a taxi immediately. Instead, he put away his phone and strolled casually along the roadside.

He is no longer a young boy who just graduated from college. He needs to sort out his thoughts, because it is not the first time that he feels sorry for Lu Junze.

If he tells others about this, they will all call him stupid. If a worker feels sorry for his boss, isn't that crazy?

He was not right. Actually, it had started a long time ago, but he just didn't dare to face it. But even if he did face it, what would it matter?

Ye Jingzhan was rarely melancholy. In order to prevent his inappropriate feelings from continuing to grow, he thought that maybe it was time for him to go out and work on a project independently.

In fact, Lu Junze had already told him that he had the ability to help him lead the project, but he always refused and just said that he wanted to study with him for two more years. Later, Lu Junze never mentioned it again.

Maybe it's time, Ye Jingzhan thought.

He walked to a bridge, put his arms on the railing, looked at the water reflecting the neon lights, his thoughts flying.

He couldn't understand how things had come to this point where he fell in love with his boss.

In the past, he was considered a romantic figure in school. Although his family background was average, he was handsome, gentle and polite, and always ranked among the top in his professional courses. Countless boys and girls confessed to him, but the number after a few years was still astonishing.

But he had no feelings for anyone, and he was still single for so many years even when everyone was talking about breaking up. His roommates at that time still laughed at him, wondering who would be able to pick this high-altitude flower in the future?

He also joked: "Maybe the person I like won't like me anymore in the future?"

Everyone scoffed at his words: "With a face like yours, who wouldn't like you? If you change your gender, I'll chase you right now."

The other roommates all laughed and said, "Forget it. It's useless to chase after you with that face."

After a while of laughing, someone asked, "Hey, Jing Zhan, do you like boys or girls? There are so many people chasing after you, but you don't like any of them?"

He shook his head in confusion: "I don't know. I've never had anyone I liked."

"So what do you like?"

He jokingly said, "Like mine or not."

His words came true, he really fell in love with someone who could never like him.

Ye Jingzhan sighed in his heart. It was Lu Junze, and he didn't even have the courage to fight for him.

The wind on the bridge had been blowing for a long time and had brought a chill. He also calmed down and slowly walked down the bridge. He took out his cell phone and hailed a taxi home. That was it for now. He would talk about the future later.

Wen Yan called Shen Qi and asked him if he had any work to arrange in the near future.

Shen Qi couldn't help feeling strange; it was rare for Wen Yan to take the initiative to ask for a job.

Shen Qi joked: "Hey, did I hear you right? Are you willing to let yourself go out to work?"

Wen Yan: "What are you talking about? Haven't I always been motivated? Do you have a suitable job recently? Anything is fine."

Shen Qi didn't argue with him: "Of course I have what you want, but first tell me what happened?"

Wen Yan didn't intend to hide it from Shen Qi: "Qi Yu'an moved to the house opposite me, and put things at my door every day. I refused but he didn't listen. I'm annoyed by him."

Shen Qi was very surprised: "What? He's the one living across from you? Last time I came out of your place, I happened to see them moving in furniture, and I thought I'd stop by to say hello since your neighbor just moved in a few days ago."

Wen Yan was helpless: "I'm really fed up with him. Please help me find a job. I'm too lazy to see him every day."

Shen Qi: "It just so happens that a lifestyle variety show has invited you to be a guest. If you want to go, I will call the director to schedule a time."

Wen Yan didn't pick on anything: "Okay." |

Wen Yan was indeed unhappy at home these days, and the reason was just as he said, Qi Yu'an would appear in front of him whenever he had nothing to do.

When I come back from a run in the morning, I will hang breakfast on his door. He doesn’t care whether I will eat it or not. I will hang it there every day. At noon, I will order takeout for him. It doesn’t matter whether he accepts it or not. The delivery guy will just put it down and run away.

At night he would show up at the door by himself. It didn't matter whether the door was open or not. He would just stand there for an hour.

Wen Yan was really convinced. He understood that Qi Yu'an might feel a little regretful and wanted to come back to him and reconcile, but was he, Wen Yan, a despicable person?

Qi Yu'an's self-motivated behavior only caused him trouble.

There was no other way, Wen Yan decided to go out to work, just to give him some time to calm down. If she harassed him again in the future, he would not be polite.

In fact, Qi Yu'an also knew that Wen Yan annoyed him, but until he had no better solution, he could only use this method to find a sense of existence.

It is said that strong women are afraid of clinging men, and the same should be true for strong men.

He didn't want to admit that he was helpless, but he also knew that this was not a solution. Over the past few days, he had clearly sensed that Wen Yan's attitude towards him was becoming increasingly impatient.

Just when he was at a loss, Xu Huaishu called.

After the other party finished talking about the company, he changed the subject and said, "According to reliable information, Wen Shaogang has just accepted a lifestyle variety show and will be recording it in the countryside. Boss, do you want to arrange it for you as well?"
