Liu Yumeng scooped a spoonful of ice cream into her mouth, swallowed it with a breath, and then put the ice cream cup back on the table. She took out a tissue, wiped her mouth, sat up straight, and continued, "In our country's culture, women are better off dressing themselves up beautifully and waiting for men to chase them. Now the times are different. Regardless of whether you are a man or a woman, if you like someone, you can say it openly and pursue them. However, in the relationship between men and women, some core points will not change, that is, women should not be too proactive."

"You have to know that men are mean. If you are too easy to get, he will look down on you. If you take the initiative to pursue him, he will not cherish it. He will only be complacent and think that he is very charming. When he loses interest in you one day, he can kick you away at any time."

"Many times, your position in a man's heart does not depend on how beautiful you are, how rich you are, or how good your family background is. It depends on how you treat him. If you obey him in everything, the lower your position in his heart will be."

"So, no matter how much you like him, you can't be too proactive."

Luo Xiyun had unknowingly pulled both of his feet down onto the sofa, hugged the pillow, stared at the edge of the table, and listened silently.

Liu Yumeng finished speaking in one breath and felt a little thirsty again. She wanted to get the ice cream on the table, but after thinking about it, she resisted the urge to do anything. She licked her lips and said, "But it doesn't mean you can't do anything. The reality is that most men are more cautious, especially someone as outstanding as you. Even if he likes you in his heart, he dare not show it. Not to mention pursuing you. So sometimes, you need to learn to create opportunities for them."

"You need to do something to make him feel that you are interested in him and give him some courage. Stir his heart and make him want to ask you out. As for how to do it, it depends on each person. My method is definitely not suitable for you."

"The key is to be more obvious, but not too direct. You can pretend to have lost your keys after the date at night. But you can't say I want to go to a hotel with you. If he still doesn't understand, you can be more obvious, like I don't want to go home tonight."

"The second key is that any breakthrough behavior in your relationship should be done by the man. Like the first official date, the first hand holding, the first hug, the first..."

"Also, at this time, you can't be too cooperative. You have to show some hesitation, preferably with shyness, but not resistance. After a while, give some response--"

"Don't look at me like that. I tell you, men like the kind of tone that is most suitable for you to accept but also to refuse. If you can grasp the right balance, he will be unable to extricate himself from you."

Seeing some hesitation in her eyes, Liu Yumeng smiled slightly and did not continue to delve into the topic. Instead, she talked about her situation, "Now let's talk about you. Do you know what your biggest problem is?"

She didn't want to tease Luo Xiyun, and said, "He's too high to reach. First, your status and position, second, your personality, others think it's difficult to approach him. He's also your direct subordinate, so it's normal for him to keep his distance from you in private life."

"In his mind, you are labeled as a boss, and then you become something else. So, he doesn't dare to have any thoughts about you."

Liu Yumeng said this, and seeing that she was hesitant to speak, she smiled and said, "If you want to solve this problem, the simplest way is to transfer him to another department. At least, you can't be his direct supervisor. It would be best if you can have frequent contact with him."

Then, Liu Yumeng saw that she was lost in thought and said, "Actually, think about it, why did you fall in love with him? It can't be because he did a good job, right?"

At this moment, Luo Xiyun's expression changed.

She continued, "When you are attracted to him, you must not treat him as a subordinate, but as a man. I think you can create more scenes like that."

At this time, Luo Xiyun stood up.

"What are you doing?" Liu Yumeng asked.

Luo Xiyun threw the pillow into her arms and said, "Take a bath." After that, he walked towards the bathroom.

Liu Yumeng looked at her back and shook her head, not knowing how much she could take in. Then, she took the ice cream on the table and continued to eat it, then picked up the remote control, pressed the play button, and continued watching the movie.

"Thank you. Just drop you off here. It's not easy to turn around inside." Chen Xu got off the car at the intersection, thanked the driver politely, and walked into the street.

When he arrived at the downstairs of the rental building and was about to enter the stairwell, a horn suddenly sounded behind him. He looked back and saw a familiar car with the window rolled down, revealing Yang Jinxia's face.

"Boss Yang is in such a good mood." Chen Xu said with a smile, "It's so late, and you're still strolling around the village in the city."

"It's not really a date."

Yang Jinxia said with a half-smile, "Did he go to meet his parents?"

"Boss Yang is joking."

"Come up and chat with me for a while."

Chen Xu did not hesitate, opened the car door, got in the car, and asked, "What do you want to talk about, Mr. Yang?"

The car started slowly, Yang Jinxia closed the window, and said lazily, "Let's talk about something, whatever you want to talk about."

"Why does Mr. Yang look at me differently?"

"Because I want to know why you know me so well."

Chen Xu looked out the window, and after a while, he said, "Do you know about the parallel world?"

"It's indeed a good reason, and it can't be disproven." Yang Jinxia said slowly, as if she didn't care at all. "I just don't know, what is our relationship in that parallel world? Boss and subordinate, partner, or enemy?"

Chen Xu said, "We can barely be considered partners."

Yang Jinxia turned her head and looked at his face. After staring at him for a long time, she slowly said, "I can't imagine that I will become a partner with you."

"I couldn't have imagined it at first. I can only say that it's fate." Chen Xu smiled, took out a USB flash drive, and said, "Take a look at this and decide whether you want to cooperate with us."

She didn't answer, but asked, "Why did you suddenly change your mind?"

"You always come to me, and it would be really mean of me if I didn't show any appreciation."

Yang Jinxia took the USB drive and said with a smile, "Are you willing to leave Wanhua?"

"What's there to be reluctant about?" Chen Xu said to the driver, "Please take me back."

After a while, the car stopped downstairs of his house.

"Goodbye, Mr. Yang." He said goodbye, got out of the car, and disappeared into the corridor.

After the car door closed, Yang Jinxia looked at the USB flash drive in her hand and heard a voice in her ear, "He's lying."

"Shut up."

There was something grim in her voice.
