"Manager, you said you'd give me a raise, when will you propose it?"
While washing the dishes, Liu Yanran asked in a coquettish tone.
Zhou Jiawei chuckled and asked, "What's wrong? Getting anxious?"
"You've been talking about it for two months now, but you haven't mentioned it once. How can I not be anxious?"
"Isn't your boyfriend rich? You're really interested in this salary?"
Zhou Jiawei asked tentatively.
"Don't mention him anymore, I've already broken up with him!"
"Um??"
Zhou Jiawei paused for a moment as he picked up the teacup.
"real?"
"Of course, when I say break up, I mean it. I'm a stubborn person, and if I don't like something, I just don't want to do it."
"Hehe... Your boyfriend is a bit too controlling, but there's nothing we can do about it, young people are just a bit immature."
“He’s so immature. He was okay when we first got together, but now the more I look at him, the more he seems like a child. I’m fed up with him. I have to report to him wherever I go. Sometimes I can’t even go out with my friends. Last night we went out for a party, and he kept calling me. I’m so annoyed.”
"When you said you wanted to break up, I thought you were joking."
Zhou Jiawei was smiling very happily.
"How could I be joking? Others might be reluctant to break up with him because he's rich, but I'm different. I have my own principles, and he's not particularly rich either. The house he said he'd buy for me was bought on installment, with only a down payment of a few hundred thousand. Unbelievable! What rich kid would buy a house on installment? Also, I asked him to go to the jewelry store to buy a gold bracelet, and he didn't go even after I asked him several times. He even said he'd have someone make one for me, design it for me. Haha, I don't believe him for a second."
Zhou Jiawei reached out and touched Liu Yanran's hand.
"Come with me from now on..."
Liu Yanran didn't pull her hand away, but she didn't completely agree either; "Manager, I think we're moving too fast..."
Zhou Jiawei held her hand tightly and moved closer to her.
"Yanran, what do you mean by 'quickly'? We've already kissed, haven't we? Aren't we boyfriend and girlfriend yet?"
Liu Yanran blushed; "You forced me to do that, knowing full well I was drunk..."
"Hehe, I can only force you if you like me. How can I force you if you don't like me?"
As Zhou Jiawei spoke, he put his arm around Liu Yanran's waist; "How about we go to a hotel tonight?"
Liu Yanran hesitated, "This isn't a good idea..."
“There’s nothing wrong with that. I’ll raise your salary tomorrow. I’ll give you 20,000 yuan a month. When your salary increases, you can buy a house in six months. You won’t be looked down upon by others when you’re earning your own money.”
Liu Yanran was delighted to hear this; "Really?"
"Of course it's true. When have I ever lied to you? As long as you come with me, I'll promote you to supervisor. After I get promoted in a few years, you can take over my position. I guarantee that before you turn 30, you'll be far ahead of your classmates."
Zhou Jiawei's pie-in-the-sky promises grew ever larger, captivating Liu Yanran completely.
But she still feigned innocence and said, "Manager, I don't want to treat this as a transaction. It makes me feel like I'm some kind of..."
Zhou Jiawei understands young girls' thoughts very well.
"This is certainly not a transaction. I'm spoiling you and loving you. You understand my feelings."
"I... okay then..."
Liu Yanran agreed softly, and Zhou Jiawei took the opportunity to kiss her cheek.
Right after the kiss, Liu Yanran stared blankly ahead.
Zhou Jiawei was slightly taken aback; "Yanran, what's wrong?"
"Tang Zihao!! Why is he here?"
Which one?
"The one with the woman in the hallway outside!"
"Hey, that girl with him is pretty. Is she his new girlfriend? He just broke up with you and already has a girlfriend? Looks like he doesn't love you as much as you say."
Zhou Jiawei said.
These words inexplicably angered Liu Yanran, and she stood up abruptly.
"I'm going to go ask!"
Seeing Liu Yanran leave, Zhou Jiawei followed her out.
Liu Yanran walked quickly toward Tang Zihao and Zhang Xinrui.
"Tang Zihao!!!"
Liu Yanran's voice arrived before she did.
Tang Zihao and Zhang Xinrui turned their heads.
When Liu Yanran recognized Zhang Xinrui, she breathed a sigh of relief. She knew Zhang Xinrui; Tang Zihao had introduced her to her before, and the two were friends.
I didn't see clearly just now, I only saw a silhouette from behind.
Upon closer inspection, it became clear that this was not a new girlfriend at all.
Tang Zihao watched as Liu Yanran and the man from before walked away, and he subconsciously clenched his fists.
At that moment, Zhang Xinrui held his hand and said, "Zihao, what are you distracted about? I just confessed my feelings to you, did you say yes?"
The two of them had already planned out their lines.
"Confess your feelings? Hah, you're confessing to Tang Zihao?"
Liu Yanran laughed.
"What, is that not allowed? Didn't you two break up? You dumped Zihao and found an older man. Do you still want to keep bothering Zihao?"
Standing behind Liu Yanran, Zhou Jiawei felt a little embarrassed when Zhang Xinrui called him an old man.
"Miss, please be more polite when you speak."
"You're too kind? Who do you think you are that I need to be polite to you? Please take a look at your pig face in the mirror. In what way are you better than Zihao? I feel nauseous just looking at you."
"You!! You're being unreasonable!! If it weren't for the fact that you're just a little girl, I would definitely teach you a lesson today."
"Haha, that's hilarious! You want to teach me a lesson? Do you even know who I am? You think you can teach me a lesson? Where do you think you're from, acting so arrogantly?"
"You'd be terrified if I told you, I'm the manager of the distribution department at Changhe Group. You know Changhe Group, right? It's one of the top air conditioning companies in the country."
Upon hearing the other party introduce themselves.
Chen Zhe, who was hiding to the side, was also slightly taken aback. Wasn't this a coincidence? He just happened to have connections in Changhe Group.
He immediately called Luo Guifang.
"Sister Luo, could you do me a small favor?"
...
"Oh dear, I'm so scared! Changhe Group has really frightened me. You're not going to hit me, are you?"
Zhang Xinrui made a very exaggerated gesture.
Zhou Jiawei puffed out his chest; "I won't stoop to the level of a little brat like you. I'm a person of good manners."
"Oh, so what if you're cowardly? Stop talking about being cultured! That's hilarious!"
Zhang Xinrui kept mocking Zhou Jiahao, which made Zhou Jiawei very angry. He really wanted to slap this woman.
At this moment, Liu Yanran stopped him.
"Manager Zhou, don't bother with this kind of person. This is just someone Tang Zihao brought in to get my attention. Heh, Tang Zihao, can't you be a little more mature? You actually did something like having a friend pretend to be my girlfriend to provoke me?"
Tang Zihao clenched his fists tightly.
"Yanran, do you really think I'm inferior to this man?"
"Tang Zihao, I don't want to argue with you anymore. It's over between us. Even if you found a real girlfriend, I wouldn't care. I advise you not to do so many things. All you're doing makes me want to vomit!"
After saying this, Liu Yanran took Zhou Jiawei's hand and said, "Manager Zhou, let's ignore them and go back to eat."
Zhou Jiawei glanced at Tang Zihao smugly.
That look seemed to say, "[So what if she's a rich kid? I still managed to steal her away.]"
Tang Zihao wanted to rush over and punch him when he saw that look in his eyes, but Zhang Xinrui held him back.
At this moment, Chen Zhe also emerged from the corner.
She pursed her lips and shrugged.
"You were right. That woman didn't care about Zihao at all, especially after she saw it was me. The smug look on her face was like she was saying, 'What are you pretending for? I saw right through you.'"
Chen Zhe chuckled.
"That's normal, after all, she knows you."
"So what do we do now? Didn't you say you had many other options?"
"Don't rush, you two go in and eat first, someone will come to help you later."
"Huh? Who is it?"
"You'll understand when you get here. Hurry up and go inside, find a seat near them."
Tang Zihao hesitated for a moment; "I don't really want to go there anymore. I feel terrible when I see her with other people. She really doesn't love me. She doesn't care about me at all."
Chen Zhe patted him on the shoulder; "Brother, don't be sad. This matter will eventually be resolved. If you can't get over this knot in your heart, then it will become your nightmare. Go on, I promised to help you, and I will definitely help you, and I will definitely make you feel good."
Are you serious?
Tang Zihao looked at the man in front of him, whom he had only known for less than a day, and he felt a little worried.
He was worried that if he spoke in the past, he would be humiliated by Liu Yanran again.
"It's okay, let's go, trust me."
Zhang Xinrui pulled Tang Zihao's hand and walked over; "Stop dawdling, since we're here, let's listen to him!"
...
The two found seats near Liu Yanran and the others and sat down.
Liu Yanran rolled her eyes after seeing this; "Tang Zihao, how many times do I have to tell you before you understand? It's really over between us, please stop bothering me!"
Tang Zihao's eyes still held a hint of sadness.
He desperately wanted to win her back one more time.
Luckily, Zhang Xinrui grabbed his hand at that moment and whispered in his ear, "If you keep acting like a simp, we can't be friends anymore!"
Perhaps seeing Tang Zihao beside her, Liu Yanran wanted to provoke him further. She took Zhou Jiawei's hand and then affectionately fed him.
Tang Zihao almost ground his teeth to powder when he saw this.
No matter how hard Zhang Xinrui tried to pull him back, he couldn't stop. He suddenly stood up and stood in front of Liu Yanran. "Yanran, are you really going to be so cruel to me? We used to love each other so much, and I gave so much for you. Why are you doing this to me?"
Seeing Tang Zihao like this again, Zhang Xinrui rolled her eyes and covered her head.
"Love-obsessed people are hopeless..."
Liu Yanran snorted.
Unlike Tang Zihao, who lost control of his emotions, she remained calm. "Tang Zihao, don't act like I've wronged you. Yes, I did accept the gifts you bought me, but that's what you do when you're dating, which is normal, isn't it? And that house, I didn't accept it in the end, did I? What exactly did you give? If it's just those little gifts, then I'm really sorry."
"Yanran..."
Tang Zihao was about to say something when Zhang Xinrui quickly pulled him over.
She lowered her voice angrily, "Have you really forgotten why we came here?"
"But...but I just can't stand it."
"Hold on! What's with all this crying and whining, you grown man? If you keep acting like this, I'm going to lose my temper."
Seeing that Zhang Xinrui was about to lose her temper, Tang Zihao finally managed to hold back.
Time passed second by second.
Before they knew it, Liu Yanran and Zhou Jiawei had almost finished their meal, but the person who was supposed to help them still hadn't shown up.
Both of them were getting anxious.
Tang Zihao looked outside anxiously; "Wouldn't Chen Zhe be playing a trick on us?"
...
