Xie Linchuan was still somewhat dazed when he heard Jiang Tian call his name.
After all, the two of them now have very little private contact, apart from their superior-subordinate relationship.
Jiang Tian would certainly be very considerate of him, sending him text messages or inviting him to dinner during holidays, but at that time Jiang Tian always had a boyfriend by her side, and Xie Linchuan couldn't bring himself to interfere in other people's relationships, so he always politely declined.
The two of them have actually had less and less contact over the years.
Limited personal contact does not mean limited work-related involvement.
Because Xie Linchuan's value is becoming increasingly clear, many people want to poach him.
From this perspective, Jiang Tian must maintain a good relationship with Xie Linchuan.
Xie Linchuan is a talented person. No good boss can do everything himself. If you have a talented person as your employee, you should cherish him.
Jiang Tian was very considerate of Xie Linchuan at work, and she always reminded him not to work overtime.
However, Xie Linchuan was always thinking about serving the company and wished he could spend all his time at the group.
If you were to compile a list of people who worked the most overtime hours in a month, Xie Linchuan's name would certainly be among them.
It's perfectly normal for such a dedicated office worker to earn the respect and affection of his colleagues.
He's a genius, so passionate about his work, so dedicated, and handsome—he's practically flawless.
Xie Linchuan is a flawless person, yet he refuses to date at all.
Some of the young women in the company had feelings for Xie Linchuan and pursued him relentlessly.
They were all highly educated and knew how to pursue someone in a way that would make the other person lower their guard.
But no matter how hard they tried, none of them succeeded.
No matter how beautiful or good-natured the female colleagues who pursued him were, Xie Linchuan rejected them all, remaining a lone wolf every day.
He has a lot of money, but he doesn't even change his house. He lives near the company and goes to work every day.
New employees will naturally inquire about such a model worker.
They later learned about the sex scandal.
The boss talked to Xie Linchuan, and the reason why Xie Linchuan became a workaholic was entirely because he was dumped by the boss, and he turned his grief and anger into motivation for work.
But that's what the rumors say, and they still don't understand.
The boss is getting old, and she definitely won't get married again; anyone can tell that.
Moreover, the boss once said that she didn't have a deep passion for children.
Although everyone says that children are the continuation of life, each child is born as an individual, and parents and children will always face the challenge of separation.
Jiang Tian's own value is enough to be remembered by the world; she doesn't really need to sacrifice her health to have a child.
The boss is 38 years old this year, so it's impossible for him to have a child at this crucial juncture.
If Xie Linchuan wants to settle down and start a family soon, he can't just wait around like this, can he?
The boss lives such a carefree life, with young and handsome men by his side day and night, while Xie Linchuan seems to be torturing himself, not dating, having no daily entertainment, and only working.
Is he trying to win back his boss?
But that's too difficult.
Later, as time went by, people stopped mentioning the matter, and Xie Linchuan faded from everyone's sight.
His fame is overshadowed by his exceptional computer skills.
When Jiang Tian called Xie Linchuan's name, the other executives hadn't even realized what was happening.
Someone else volunteered: "Boss, let me give you a ride. I haven't been drinking either."
Jiang Tian smiled and pointed to Xie Linchuan: "Let him deliver it. He knows where my house is, and we're going the same way, so it'll be convenient for him to go back."
This reason is irrefutable.
The person could only agree without saying anything more.
The others exchanged glances, seemingly sensing some ambiguous signal, but none of them spoke of it, remaining silent.
Everyone was waiting for Xie Linchuan's answer.
Is he willing to take Jiang Tian home or not?
Xie Linchuan wiped his face. He didn't know what Jiang Tian was going to do, but his heart was starting to race.
He was always powerless against Jiang Tian.
Whatever she says goes; that's always been the case between the two of them.
"OK."
"Alright, you guys continue eating, we'll head back now."
Jiang Tian smiled at the other executives.
Xie Linchuan had heard a similar conversation three years ago.
The executives readily agreed and watched Jiang Tian and Xie Linchuan leave before they began their frantic discussion.
Jiang Tian and Xie Linchuan didn't pay attention to what they were discussing.
They got into Jiang Tian's car one after the other.
Jiang Tian had been driving a Maybach all this time. She handed him the keys, and Xie Linchuan got into the driver's seat.
After a long pause, he asked quietly, "The driver was right there, so why did you still ask me to take you?"
Jiang Tian sat in the passenger seat.
She didn't choose to sit in the back, as if it were intentional, or perhaps unintentional.
"Why so many questions? If you want me to give you a ride, then you can. If you don't want to, then get out of the car and I'll call the driver back."
Xie Linchuan pursed his lips but didn't move.
Three years have passed, and he has grown older. Although he still looks handsome, he has actually gone through a lot of psychological struggles and has slowly learned to accept everything.
She wanted him to deliver it, so he did.
Neither of them spoke in the car until Jiang Tian played a song that Xie Linchuan liked. Only then did Xie Linchuan glance at Jiang Tian without making a sound.
Just then, Jiang Tian's phone rang, and she answered it.
Xie Linchuan had excellent hearing; he could hear everything being said clearly.
The young boy's voice clearly pleaded: "I was being willful just now. I'll come find you later and apologize. I don't want to break up with you."
Jiang Tian said calmly, "A breakup is a breakup. Young people shouldn't go back on their word so easily. Not keeping your word is not a good quality."
Xie Linchuan's heart tightened slightly.
He silently tightened his grip on the steering wheel.
In fact, they had seen similar scenes many times.
Since joining her company, Xie Linchuan has witnessed Jiang Tian date several men.
At first, they were deeply in love, but later, each of them felt that Jiang Tian wasn't giving them enough companionship or affection, and they would repeatedly try to confirm their place in her heart.
After she gave, many people became greedy and began to ask for more.
They all thought they could keep her, but every time they proposed breaking up, it was the real end.
No matter how much those people wanted to get back to her, no matter how much they pestered her, it would be to no avail.
Xie Linchuan recalled his past.
