"I......"
Lu Yangyun hesitated for half a second.
"Forget it, I don't want to hear it anymore." Lin Zhenzhen covered her ears in a fit of self-pity. "Don't tell me the answer, at least I can still fool myself."
Seeing her like this, Lu Yangyun felt even worse. He gently pried Lin Zhenzhen's hands away and said in a soft voice, "Zhenzhen, I'm sorry."
"I received a last-minute notice last night that there was a problem with the new product the company was about to launch, and I had to go overtime. I got so busy that I lost track of time."
Lu Yangyun touched her forehead: "I was wrong. You can hit me or scold me as you please, as long as you're not angry with me anymore, okay?"
"Is it good or not?" Lin Zhenzhen lowered her eyes, her expression unreadable.
You're really something! Do you think I'm mentally challenged? Trying to fool me with something that's only for a three-year-old.
Lin Zhenzhen tilted her head slightly, subtly avoiding his hand, "How could I dare to be angry?"
Lu Yangyun's expression froze.
"Zhenzhen, what do you mean by that?"
Lin Zhenzhen raised her head and quietly looked at him: "Brother Yangyun, I don't have a healthy body, I don't have a distinguished family background, and I don't have any outstanding talent. I am nothing."
"So many people like you, how could someone like me have the right to be angry for you?"
"Zhenzhen." Lu Yangyun frowned. "Why would you think that?"
“Didn’t we agree that I would persuade my father once everything stabilized?”
Lin Zhenzhen didn't speak again. Her fingers, hanging by her side and constantly fiddling with her clothes, betrayed her inner tension and turmoil.
"I don't want you to fall out with your family because of my relationship."
"No, trust me." Lu Yangyun took her hand. "Give me a little more time."
Seeing her finally smile, Lu Yangyun breathed a sigh of relief: "You silly girl, you can't do that again next time."
He gently pinched her nose and said affectionately, "Even if you're throwing a tantrum, you can't ignore my calls, okay?"
"You called me?"
Lin Zhenzhen frowned, seemingly deep in thought, but in reality, she was disgusted by his "girlish literature" and couldn't control her revulsion, indulging in a fit of rage within.
"I'm going to check my phone." Lin Zhenzhen quickly squeezed out of the kitchen, slipped into the room, and pretended to take out her repaired old phone.
"Oops!" Lin Zhenzhen's exclamation was quite deliberate. "My phone is off."
Lu Yangyun also came out and saw her phone screen, which was smashed to pieces.
"How did your phone get so badly damaged?" He quickly realized, "It happened last night when He Xiaoxiao pushed you..." Lu Yangyun didn't finish his sentence.
He clenched his fist and put his arm around Lin Zhenzhen: "I'll take you out to eat something delicious, and we'll buy you a new phone."
"I'm not going." Lin Zhenzhen broke free from his embrace. "My phone is fixed and works. The egg noodles aren't great, but they'll fill me up."
"Zhenzhen..."
“Brother Yangyun, I know you mean well, but I hope you can consider my feelings.” Lin Zhenzhen turned her face away. “I’m not like other women. I’m not after your money.”
Lu Yangyun stepped forward and said anxiously, "Zhenzhen, how can they compare to you? You are the woman I love, and I am willing to spend money on you."
"I know." Lin Zhenzhen raised her head, her eyes blurry with tears but her expression firm. "But please, Brother Yangyun, have some consideration for my pride."
The conversation ended badly.
The moment the door closed, Lin Zhenzhen's face fell completely.
"What a pathetic man! He avoids the important issues and doesn't mention a word about his own lack of male virtues. He's been rambling on and on for so long that he's ruined my noodles!"
[I get it, the key point is that the dough is clumpy, right?]
【No, that's not it.】 Lin Zhenzhen sneered. 【My point is, why does the Imperial Quick Transmigration System have to target Huo Yeshuo? What exactly is going on with him...?】
The system rubbed its forehead: [Ah! I'm dizzy again? The battery life has been terrible lately, looks like I'll have to replace the battery.]
Lin Zhenzhen rolled her eyes, too lazy to expose its clumsy acting.
She ate her mushy noodles while opening a job search app on her phone.
Originally, Lu Yangyun had arranged for the original owner to work in the finance department of his own company.
However, during the argument, Lin Zhenzhen, following her independent and strong-willed persona, made it clear that she would not use his connections to get things done.
"I want to support myself honestly and with my own abilities." Then she immediately submitted her resume to Huo Yeshuo's company.
Aya has a good undergraduate university, overseas study experience, and internship experience at a major company, making her resume quite impressive.
The company's HR was very efficient; they notified Lin Zhenzhen to participate in an online interview that evening.
It was still a position in the finance department. Coincidentally, Lin Zhenzhen had earned a double degree in finance when she was in college.
The interview went smoothly. Lin Zhenzhen was quick-witted and confident. Although she was the applicant, she gave the interviewer a sense of ease and composure. The interviewer even felt like they were the ones being manipulated.
"Well then, Ms. Aya, that concludes today's interview. If you have any questions about our company, please feel free to ask now."
Lin Zhenzhen thought for a moment and asked, "Has your company always had such a strong work atmosphere?"
The HR person laughed: "You mean to ask if everyone in our company likes working overtime this much, right?"
Lin Zhenzhen pursed her lips and chuckled twice.
That's right, it's already past nine o'clock, and I see a huge crowd behind your cameras.
I'm here to date, not to work 996.
"Don't worry, it's just temporary. The company's been quite busy lately," the HR lady said in a low voice. "Even the big boss is working overtime every day."
Lin Zhenzhen became interested: "Is the big boss talking about Mr. Huo Yeshuo? Does he also work very late?"
"It wasn't just late, it was practically working day and night without eating or sleeping!"
The HR lady suddenly realized that she seemed to have spoken ill of the boss in the office, and quickly coughed twice: "Ahem, Mr. Huo is my role model. I will continue to work hard, love my job, and follow his example!"
Lin Zhenzhen nodded and smiled, "Looks like I need to work harder too."
I passed the second round of online interviews; only the final in-person interview remains.
The agreed time was next Monday, and the agent just happened to notify her to view the apartment in the next two days.
Lin Zhenzhen quickly made a decision and booked a two-bedroom apartment in an old residential area. Over the weekend, she moved all her few belongings there.
