"Well, how should I put it?" Ji Congyan paused in his chopping.
It seemed like she was carefully choosing her words: "It's rare for me to break free from my parents' control and do things I want to do. That's the key point."
Ji Congyan casually put down the kitchen knife in his hand and continued speaking to Shen Yu'nan, "Your CEO Pei is just my type. I'm not afraid to tell you, but after she came that night, I couldn't sleep well for three or four days. Every time I closed my eyes, all I could see was her face. As they say, proximity makes it easier to get closer to someone, so I absolutely have to go to Diana's place."
"..." As Shen Yunan listened to Ji Congyan's words, the chicken pieces he was rinsing suddenly slipped from his fingers, fell into the basin, and splashed all over him.
He suddenly realized that his friend had taken a liking to Pei Wu. In an instant, he felt a muffled sound in his head and almost blurted out, "Miss Pei is not someone to be trifled with."
Ji Congyan replied, "I haven't thought that much about it yet. I'm just happy to be able to see it a few more times."
"..." Shen Yunan looked at the smile on Ji Congyan's face and felt a lump in his throat. He didn't say anything more, but continued to wash the chicken pieces. He felt a strange pang in his heart.
"You've been President Pei's secretary for three years, give me a break," Ji Congyan asked again.
"...cough cough." Shen Yu'nan looked at Ji Congyan.
"What kind of boy does your CEO Pei like? You've been by her side for three years, have you ever met her boyfriend?" Ji Congyan asked tentatively, her tone suddenly becoming shy. "Do you understand what I mean?"
“…” Shen Yu Nan pursed his lips slightly when he looked at Ji Cong Yan.
An awkward silence fell over them. Feeling Shen Yu'nan's gaze, Ji Congyan unconsciously scratched his cheek. "Does she have a boyfriend?"
“They…” Shen Yu’nan began to speak again, only to find his voice terribly hoarse. He subconsciously cleared his throat before continuing, “These people are naturally not short of men around them.” As he spoke, he continued to wash the chicken pieces.
At this moment, for some reason, the image of him gripping Pei Wu's back tightly with both hands that night, even leaving red bloodstains on her back, flashed through his mind.
'Yes, these women are never short of men.'
Thinking of this, Shen Yu'nan unconsciously lowered his eyebrows slightly, and even the movements of his hands inexplicably quickened.
"That's true, but I'm not saying I really want anything in particular. I'm not greedy. I'd be content if I could just catch a glimpse of it a few times a day," Ji Congyan said with longing.
After hearing Ji Congyan's words, Shen Yunan's brows furrowed even more.

The next morning, Ji Congyan, unusually, didn't stay in bed. He got up early and laid all the clothes from his wardrobe on the bed, trying them on one by one in front of the mirror.
Shen Yu Nan also got up early. In order to repay Pei Wu's money, Shen Yu Nan had looked for several decent part-time jobs. Now that he had returned to his physical body, Shen Yu Nan prepared his ID card and other things that he might need in the future, just in case. After all, he didn't know when he would return to his physical body again.
"Why are you up so early today?" As soon as Shen Yu'nan opened the door, he saw Ji Congyan standing in front of the mirror trying on clothes.
"You've come at the perfect time. What kind of guys does your CEO Pei like? A stoic, aloof god or a charming, boy-next-door type?" Ji Congyan asked Shen Yu'nan, holding a suit jacket in one hand and a hoodie in the other.
"..." Shen Yu'nan looked at him and remained silent for a few seconds before asking, "Are you reporting to Diana today?"
"No, no, Diana's HR asked me to report for duty the week after next, so I still have a few days to rest properly. But, but, the new shopping mall across from our neighborhood is going to open a 'Happiness Supermarket,' and the posters for that ad have already been put up."
"So?" Shen Yu'nan knew before Diana left that Happiness Supermarket was going to open in the shopping mall across from their community.
The area they rented is in a new urban district. It has only gradually connected with the main urban area in the last two years since the subway opened. New buildings have been built one after another, and facilities such as schools and hospitals have been gradually added. Large shopping malls have also been built. Since the government is focusing on development, it is only a matter of time before it develops. Therefore, it is not surprising that Happiness Supermarket will move in.
"So? Today is the opening day of Happiness Supermarket. According to my inside information, your President Pei will be attending the ribbon-cutting ceremony today."
"...It's just the opening of a branch store; President Diana won't be coming."
"No way, President Pei will definitely come. Did you see the press conference last time? President Pei said at the press conference that in order to prevent something like what happened last time from happening again, she will personally oversee the quality control of products at Happiness Supermarket. She will be present to personally inspect every new store opening, and she will donate all the sales revenue within the first month of opening to the public in the name of Happiness Supermarket."
Since Pei Wu left Ji Congyan's place last time, he has been searching for a lot of news about Pei Wu on the Internet. The freshest news is about Pei Wu's appearance at the Happiness Supermarket.
Her composed demeanor, refined speech, and striking good looks completely captivated Ji Congyan; she was practically dancing on his heart.
Shen Yunan raised his eyebrows slightly after hearing Ji Congyan's words and replied, "I see."
"So, based on your experience, which style does President Pei prefer?"
Ji Congyan's words made Shen Yu'nan ponder for a moment. He had always thought that Pei Wu's standard for liking men was Gu Yanyu's face. So what kind of man did Pei Wu actually like?
When the words were on the tip of his tongue, he only answered, "I don't know."
He truly didn't know what type of man Pei Wu liked these days.
Ji Congyan sighed after hearing Shen Yu Nan's words. He looked up at the pile of clothes on his bed and finally chose a trendy outfit that suited his age and temperament. "President Pei is used to seeing men in suits and ties who are very serious. Changing the style might catch her eye and make her feel refreshed."
"....."
Shen Yunan didn't answer again, but walked straight towards the living room, and finally stopped at the dining table to pour himself a glass of water.
"Come with me later. We need to resupply our supplies at home. The discounts will definitely be great on the first day of opening."
Ji Congyan shouted at Shen Yunan.
