Chapter 34 Envy and Jealousy
Yan Nian replied to the housekeeping aunt and turned to walk towards the elevator. She was mildly nearsighted and saw from a distance through the corridor a tall, long-legged figure dressed in black stepping into the elevator. Before she could call out his name, the elevator door closed.
Having failed to invite anyone, Yan Nian had no choice but to return home. Yao Lijun asked in the kitchen, "Are you here yet?"
"He just left and I didn't catch up." Yan Nian said, "Why don't we give him a call?"
Yao Lijun said: "The phone is on the table, there is no password, and the name is Zhou Shuaishuai."
Yan Nian found Zhou Shuaishuai in the address book and dialed him, but the call was hung up after just two rings.
A few minutes later, I received a text message: [Driving.]
Yan Nian showed the text message to her grandmother.
Yao Lijun smiled and said, "That's okay. The young man is busy with work. He came to me this morning and told me that he would be moving out in two months when the lease expires."
Yan Nian felt a little regretful. He had been here for so long without seeing anyone, but he was about to move away.
The rest day passed in the blink of an eye.
On July 8th, when Yan Nian came out of the tea room at noon, his eyes would unconsciously look towards the general manager's office.
He hasn't been to the company for four days.
Gu Pingping happened to be coming up from downstairs and met her and greeted her: "Yan Nian, let's go eat together."
Yan Nian responded: "Okay."
After they each returned to the office, Yan Nian casually asked, "Is Mr. Zhou on a business trip again?"
"Hmm," Gu Pingping bared his fangs, tilted his head, leaned in close to her ear and whispered, "Mr. Zhou's old lady is upset that he's still not dating at his age, so she wants to arrange a marriage for him! I guess she's hiding somewhere."
Yan Nian's expression froze, and his gaze remained fixed in the air for a few seconds: "Really?"
Her voice was very soft, as if she was asking only herself, but Gu Pingping still heard it: "Well, I'm only telling you this! Keep it a secret."
I know that Yan Nian is not a person who likes gossip, but it is not convenient to reveal too much. After all, this is the leader's private matter.
On Sunday, Zhou Ran asked her to deliver a document to the coffee shop in the mall.
At that time, the old lady was leading a beautiful young lady to sit opposite him, but he didn't even raise his eyes.
That's too much.
I guess he's been hiding somewhere these days, afraid that the old lady will come and kill him.
Yan Nian just felt that given his family conditions and work environment, it was normal for him to find a girlfriend who was good for him and marry her.
So whether he is old enough to be arranged into a marriage by his family, or finds someone he loves to spend the rest of his life with, it is no longer her business.
But she couldn't help but wonder if Zhou Ran was really willing to accept this kind of marriage without any emotional basis. If he really accepted it, would he be happy in the future?
Yan Nian let out a light breath, but it still didn't relieve the turbidity in his heart.
Before returning to Lindu, she wondered whether they might meet somewhere by chance, or perhaps not.
It has been a long time, and Zhou Ran may not even recognize her anymore and has found another partner.
She tried to think that the best outcome would be that they would still be able to recognize each other after meeting, but they would just regard each other as an impulse of youth, and over the years, they no longer cared about each other.
I never thought we would meet as superiors and subordinates.
When this day finally came and she heard about his future happiness, she realized that she wasn't that broad-minded after all.
Perhaps because she was too curious to know if he had a suitable candidate, Yan Nian casually asked, "Has Mr. Zhou's family been arranged for her?"
Gu Pingping smiled and shook his head: "I'm not sure. But, Mr. Zhou has never been in a relationship in all these years. He must have someone he really likes, otherwise he wouldn't have been single for so long."
Yan Nian's heart sank, and he walked on in silence.
Gu Pingping didn't notice anything unusual about her. Instead, she remembered that President Zhou had been quite special to the person next to him some time ago. At that time, she was wondering if there would be any romance between the two of them. Now that she thought about it, she must have seen it wrong: "By the way, Yan Nian, do you have a boyfriend?"
Yan Nian replied: "No."
Gu Pingping said: "Well, you have such good conditions, there must be many people chasing you."
Yan Nian twitched the corner of his mouth.
Xu Mi suddenly rushed between the two of them from behind, hooked their wrists, and asked curiously: "What are you talking about?"
Gu Pingping said, "Talking about boyfriends?"
"Oh!" Xu Mi has been allergic to the word 'boyfriend' these days and started to talk about her own female superiority mentality. "Why look for a man? Women should eat, drink and have fun. When they are lonely, they pick up a boy. It's scary to think about finding a man to tie you to for life."
Yan Nian felt that what she said made sense and turned to look at her.
-
In the evening, Zhou Ran was hiding in the office of Zhang Xiaohui, the sales director, on the 30th floor.
I was bored, so I grabbed my phone and sent a message to my childhood friend: [Brother, congratulations on your successful graduation.]
After a few minutes, the other side replied: [Proposal has been made.]
When Zhou Ran saw the news, his eyebrows twitched and he made a "tsk" sound, feeling the cold and ruthless attack again.
He typed and asked: [Boss Cheng came to see you? ]
Wang Hongyu: [Yes.]
Another emoji of a person raising their eyebrows came from the other side: [We'll come back together tomorrow.]
Zhou Ran [……]
Introverted and reserved.
Wang Hongyu: [?]
He could feel the strong air of showing off even through the screen, but he was not envious. After all, it was only a matter of time for these two to get married, as they had already decided to spend their lives together in high school.
Tsk! Not jealous either.
Zhou Ran still patiently asked: [Will you have a welcome party tomorrow?]
Wang Hongyu: [Go to Xiaoxiao's house.]
Zhou Ran: [Okay, let's go to Boss Cheng's house for dinner tomorrow.]
Wang Hongyu: [?]
Zhou Ran felt it was quite tiring to chat with him. He probably shouldn't have sent messages to torture himself since they were probably holding hands romantically on the sunny beach.
He threw his phone aside, leaned back in his chair, and tapped the table with his index finger.
These days, Song Zhiyin has been attacking him at every turn, and he doesn't even dare to go home.
The little old lady was full of energy and vigor, enough for him to torment.
The next day.
Yan Nian and You Jia received a sudden notice to go to the airport to receive an old client of Boya, who flew from Southeast Asia to the inland and brought 6 partners with him.
This was a huge event, and the company arranged two Coasters. Even Zhou Ran had to go to the airport to greet him in person.
The client can speak Chinese, but the six people he brought with him all speak very poor Chinese.
The roles of Yan Nian and You Jia are mainly to ensure normal communication and provide help as soon as possible.
The seven people were received in a hotel box, and Zhou Ji and Zhao Ning appeared together.
They were all dressed in high-end clothes, one was well-dressed, the other was elegant and calm.
The jewelry on her wrist is enough for Yan Nian to earn for a long time.
Both of them are brilliant leaders, speaking Chinese and English throughout the whole process and handling seven people with ease.
Yan Nian stood beside Zhou Ran, looking slightly to the side, and keenly noticed that his eyes were focused on Zhou Ji the whole time.
Like a wolf cub learning to hunt, focused and fearless.
Zhou Ji was like a conqueror who released his instincts and controlled the entire field with all his abilities.
Yan Nian finally understood where the changes in him over the years came from.
