He is really stubborn.

After Chen Yao returned home, she washed up and went back to her room to sleep. She had an operation to perform tomorrow and had to get up early to go to work, so it was best to go to bed early to get enough rest.
However, before going to bed, she took a look at WeChat.
The boy she just added today sent her some messages intermittently.
【Zhou Zhen: Hello, I’m Zhou Zhen.】
[Zhou Zhen: Excuse me, are you single now?]
[Zhou Zhen: Um...it's okay if you don't want to answer. I just want to get to know you better.]
Chen Yao thought for a moment and replied: [Yeah, I'm single. I'm usually busy with work and don't have much time.]
Zhou Zhen replied immediately.
[Zhou Zhen: Excuse me, what is your occupation?]
【Chen Yao: Doctor.】
After replying this sentence, she immediately quit WeChat, put her phone on the bedside table to charge, then got into the quilt, closed her eyes and went to sleep.
However, before she had slept for a few minutes, Xu Shan knocked on the door of her room.
"Yaoyao, are you asleep? I want to sleep with you tonight."
Hearing this, Chen Yao immediately lifted the quilt and sat up, turned on the bedside lamp, and said to Xu Shan outside the door: "Okay, I didn't lock the door, just come in."
Xu Shan opened the door and walked in.
After seeing her best sister's graceful and charming figure under the dim light, she couldn't help but smack her lips and said, "Yaoyao, why do I feel like you've become more beautiful?"
Chen Yao touched her face and asked doubtfully, "Is there?"
Xu Shan lay down beside her, leaned on her elbows, looked at her, and nodded: "Really, I didn't lie to you."
Chen Yao then lay down, and Xu Shan saw her fair and tender skin, which was as white as tofu, swaying under her suspender nightgown.
She pursed her lips and muttered softly, "It's really amazing."
Chen Yao raised an eyebrow, looked at her turbulent waves, and teased: "Shanshan, you might as well take a look at your own first."
Xu Shan rubbed it carelessly and said disdainfully, "I wish it were smaller. After all, I'm really fed up with the looks from those greasy guys at dinner parties. It doesn't matter how conservatively I dress."
Mentioning this, Chen Yao asked, "By the way, didn't you say before that you planned to resign this year and stop being a medical representative? Do you still think so now?"
Xu Shan nodded and said, "There's no need to wait until the end of the year. I plan to submit my resignation next month."
Chen Yao was surprised: "So fast?"
Xu Shan sighed: "Well, it's mainly because I encountered some troubles at work."
Chen Yao asked with concern: "Is someone giving you a hard time?"
Xu Shan's eyes flashed, and after hesitating for a moment, she finally poured out what was troubling her.
"For the past two months, our department has been discussing an important collaboration with a newly listed CRO company in order to jointly secure a research project from the Third Affiliated Hospital of City A."
“Everything was going smoothly up front, but then in a meeting, the CEO of that CRO company suddenly joined in.”
"Guess what happened next?"
Chen Yao: "Could it be... that the other party has made some temporary demands? Or asked you to change your strategic direction?"
Xu Shan gritted her teeth and said, "Your guess is pretty accurate, but I can tolerate all of that. The only thing I can't tolerate is that the CEO is actually Xi Jue. Moreover, after adding more requirements, he actually designated me as the person in charge in front of everyone."
Chen Yao was surprised: "Xi Jue? He returned to China?"
A complicated light flashed in Xu Shan's eyes and she nodded.
As for the love-hate relationship between her and Xi Jue, it can be traced back to what happened after they graduated from university a few years ago.
She, Shen Yao and Xi Jue were all college classmates and in the same medical school, but Shen Yao was studying for a bachelor's, master's and doctoral degree in clinical medicine, while she and Xi Jue were undergraduates in pharmacy.
When she was in college, she and Shen Yao gradually became best friends. Later, she fell in love with Xi Jue, and Shen Yao was the one who witnessed every little thing about their relationship.
At that time, she had thought that she would walk into the marriage hall with Xi Jue in the future, but unexpectedly, she could not escape the breakup during graduation season.
When talking about the reason for their breakup, Xu Shan still finds it ridiculous when she thinks back on it now.
It was probably because they were not a good match. Xi Jue happened to be going abroad for further studies, and she had to go out to find a job and work hard to make money. But Xi Jue wanted her to apply to the same university in Country M together, saying that with her GPA and internship experience, she could get an offer from that university.
Xu Shan was not willing to go. The reason was very simple: she had no money, and her family could not afford her to study abroad. So she just told him the truth directly.
Unexpectedly, Xi Jue directly transferred several sums of money into her account, saying that he would bear the expenses.
Xu Shan felt that it was not a good idea, and the amount involved had already reached one million, which she could not afford to pay back if she spent it, so she transferred the money back to him intact without thinking.
However, what she didn’t expect was that not long after that, Xi Jue’s mother suddenly came to her.
She was polite at first, but later on, she seemed to have lost all her patience. Her words to her were full of sarcasm, and she almost pointed at her nose and called her a gold digger.
How could Xu Shan tolerate this? After returning, she broke up with Xi Jue without any regard for her feelings. No matter how he tried to persuade her to stay or beg her, it was useless.
