Inside the office, Xiao Yi, who had been engrossed in her work, looked up at the person who walked in, a slight smile playing on her lips, and her voice softened.
"You're back?"
"Yes, I'm back." Li Tangyan smiled and walked to her desk as she spoke.
Once Li Tangyan stood still, Xiao Yi could observe the changes in her more clearly.
Her shoulder-length hair, which she had grown out before leaving, was now tied up high at the back of her head. She wore light makeup, which made her look more composed than before.
She beckoned Li Tangyan to pull up a chair and sit down, then put down her pen and placed her fingers interlaced on the table.
"There's nothing important that I called you over. I just have a project in the pipeline right now, and after thinking about it, I think it's best to hand it over to you."
As they were talking, Xiao Yi pushed a stack of documents toward her.
Li Tangyan lowered her eyelids, and when her gaze fell on the familiar name on the page, her eyelids twitched, and she suddenly had an ominous premonition.
Xiao Yi, who was standing nearby, was unaware of her previous relationship with Wen Zhaonian, so she didn't notice anything amiss and continued to observe.
"Although Wen Zhaonian is young, his professional skills are in no way inferior to others. In fact, in the past two years, he has become a rising star in their circle. In addition, the cases he has taken on this year are not only influential, but also have the potential to promote positive energy."
"So the company plans to do an exclusive interview with him, and you will be in charge of it."
“Editor Xiao, this…” Li Tangyan opened her lips, a hint of hesitation flashing across her face.
Seeing this, Xiao Yi raised an eyebrow and chuckled: "What? You've been away for a year and you've become hesitant and timid? If you're like this, how can I feel at ease giving you the position Hao Fu used to hold?"
"..."
"Alright, stop overthinking it and get back to work."
"Take advantage of this time to rest well, you'll be very busy when you come back."
As she spoke, Xiao Yi stood up and walked in front of her.
Holding the documents in his hand, he smiled and then shoved them into her arms.
His eyes gleamed with cunning, giving her no chance to refuse.
"Of course, if you want to use your vacation time to negotiate and confirm with Wen Zhaonian first, I would also support you."
"..."

When I left the newspaper office, the sun was blazing.
As she looked up, a slender, white hand was already placed in front of her eyes, barely blocking the light that tried to seep through her fingers.
Immediately, Li Tangyan slumped her head, and her ponytail fell naturally down her neck.
A soft sigh escaped slowly, but was quickly drowned out by the surrounding birdsong.
After a while, Li Tangyan finally freed one hand from the pile of documents she was holding to reach for her phone.
After unlocking it, I quickly swiped my finger across the screen and soon opened WeChat, revealing the pinned chat at the top.
Although she had deleted Wen Zhaonian's contact information when she went to S City.
But Li Tangyan kept that person's chat interface and couldn't bear to delete it.
Li Tangyan stared at her phone screen for a long time, until her eyes started to sting, before she finally seemed to have made up her mind.
I sent the friend request again.
While waiting, Li Tangyan was too lazy to move, so she simply sat down in a spot next to the bus stop.
With his hands supporting him on either side, his head was blank, and he looked up at the front, but his gaze seemed not to be focused on anything.
Ding-dong—
Li Tangyan thought she would have to wait a while, or that she might never get that person's verification.
However, to everyone's surprise, after only a moment of distraction, his phone screen lit up again.
—You have added W as a friend, you can start chatting now.
Li Tangyan looked at the string of small gray words that popped up at the bottom, and lightly licked her lips with the tip of her tongue.
In an instant, my chest felt like it was being repeatedly struck on a drum.
The thuds gradually increased.
An inexplicable tension quickly dampened her fingertips.
She stared at the lit screen for a while, then began to carefully consider her words.
Perhaps because of nervousness, my fingertips kept tapping on the screen, but I couldn't find a suitable beginning.
After editing and rewriting the text, and after an unknown amount of time, Li Tangyan finally pressed send.
—Are you free? I have some business to discuss with you.
Li Tangyan couldn't accurately predict Wen Zhaonian's current opinion of her, and felt that saying anything would be pointless.
So in the end, he simply stated his purpose directly, thinking that according to Wen Zhaonian's personality, he would not let personal feelings interfere with official matters.
However, the moment the string of words she had been carefully crafting was sent, a red exclamation mark appeared right in front of her.
Add the following sentence:
You are not friends yet. Please add each other before chatting.
That's infuriating.
"..."
The cars passing by on the road made a deep honking sound, and leaves swept down by the breeze brushed against her feet, bringing a momentary tickle to her ankles.
Li Tangyan remained in the same position, her hands holding the phone frozen in mid-air.
The surging emotions that had been spreading like a drumbeat in my heart suddenly subsided, as if the drumhead had been leaking air.
When Li Tangyan came to her senses again, she looked at the screen again, still somewhat incredulous.
After confirming that it wasn't her imagination, Xiuli's lips twitched uncontrollably.
Wen Zhaonian, how childish are you?!
On the other side, Wen Zhaonian's attention was still on the documents in front of him when he heard his phone notification sound.
As he reached for his phone, his drooping eyelids lifted slightly, and the next second, his pupils widened in shock at the notification message displayed on the screen.
