His breathing quickened slightly, and he swallowed hard. "I want to!"
Shen Qingqing raised her eyebrows. "Wait, I may not be able to attend your wedding, but I won't skimp on the wedding gift you deserve."
"Yes! Thank you, boss!" Zheng Dongqi's face flushed with excitement.
Over the years, Shen Qingqing has grown up considerably, but the long-time employees of the four companies still call her "Little Boss," since that's how they've called her since she was a child.
Only the new employees who joined in the last few years will respectfully call him "boss".
After all, the new employees who joined later were about the same age as Shen Qingqing.
Calling him "little boss" is no longer appropriate.
Upon arriving at the training base, Shen Qingqing led Zheng Dongqi through the entire area in the order of the short videos he had sent her. Looking at the training base, Shen Qingqing felt very pleased. "Dongqi, give the order that each department submit a draft of the regulations for the operation of the training base. We will discuss it collectively at the meeting next Monday."
"Yes, young boss!"
On her way home from get off work that evening, Shen Qingqing passed by a cake shop and, tempted by the taste, bought a red velvet cake to share with Wu Fangyi. Red velvet was the only cake Wu Fangyi loved.
Unexpectedly, when she got home, she saw a chocolate mousse cake on the table as soon as she entered the door.
This is her favorite cake.
Shen Qingqing was stunned, and tentatively called out from inside the house, "Sister Fangyi?"
"Hey!" Wu Fangyi's voice came from upstairs, followed by the clattering of slippers.
Shen Qingqing changed her shoes and went inside. As she looked up, she met the gaze of Wu Fangyi, who was walking out of the room and looking down from the second floor.
Wu Fangyi smiled, quickly went downstairs, walked up to Shen Qingqing, and hugged her: "Baby, welcome back!"
During her years in the capital, Wu Fangyi's emotional expression finally became less restrained than it had been in Chaozhou.
Shen Qingqing snuggled against Wu Fangyi, then pulled away, holding up the red velvet cake in her hand. "It seems we bought the same thing twice, what should we do?"
Wu Fangyi was stunned, and she and Shen Qingqing looked at each other.
After a while, the two of them burst out laughing at the same time.
"Then we'll just have to skip dinner tonight and have this for dinner!"
Fortunately, they both bought the smallest size, so they didn't end up stuffed.
Shen Qingqing put her luggage in the room and found that there was no dust in the room, and even the quilt smelled nice. There was no musty smell at all. She happily ran out and shouted down from the second floor, "Sister Fangyi, did you clean my room?"
“Yes, I’ve been doing a quick cleaning for you every day before. When you said you were coming back, I did a thorough cleaning for you. What’s wrong? Does it still smell?” Wu Fangyi was unwrapping two cakes, looking up as she spoke.
"It has no smell! It smells amazing! I love it the most!" Shen Qingqing happily made a heart shape with her hands from the second floor.
After packing her luggage, Shen Qingqing came downstairs to find that Wu Fangyi had already unpacked and arranged both cakes, placed forks beside them, and poured a glass of white peach oolong sparkling water for each of them.
Both of them liked the taste.
Shen Qingqing sat down and took a bite of cake. The silky texture made her squint her eyes in comfort.
Then, the next second, Wu Fangyi said something that almost made her choke to death.
"I broke up with Ziyang."
"Pfft, cough cough... Ah?" Shen Qingqing stared wide-eyed at Wu Fangyi. "W-why?"
Wu Fangyi, who had been eating cake bite after bite, suddenly slowed down. After thinking for a moment, she said, "If I had to say why... maybe it's because I don't love him enough, or maybe I love myself too much."
Hearing Wu Fangyi's words, Shen Qingqing's expression turned serious: "What happened? Did he force you to do something?"
"Not really, it's just that we made different choices. He was pampered by his parents growing up, so it's understandable that he can't let go of them. Besides, his profession doesn't require him to be stationed in the capital. Even if he goes back, he can work online and travel for business anytime. So he wants to go back to Chaocheng to be with his parents."
"I don't want to go back, and I'm not willing to give up my hard-earned job. I'm going to be promoted to supervisor in the second half of the year. And let me tell you a secret, my salary will double, to 60,000 a month."
"We negotiated for two months, but we couldn't reach an agreement, so in the end we had no choice but to break up."
Shen Qingqing understood. "You brought it up, but he did?"
“I suggested it, but he disagreed, saying we should calm down, and then he went back.” Wu Fangyi took a sip of her water.
Shen Qingqing asked in surprise, "How long have you been back?"
"Not long after, when you said you were coming back, he had just gone back." Wu Fangyi shrugged.
Shen Qingqing originally thought that Wu Fangyi had been bullied, but now it seems that she hadn't. Not only that, but she also tried to resolve the problem by cutting it off completely, but it doesn't seem like she's solved it.
Since he wasn't being bullied, Shen Qingqing couldn't really comment on the matter. She could only say, "Let's leave it to time. Maybe he'll figure it out in time."
Wu Fangyi neither confirmed nor denied the statement.
The two sisters returned to the way they were when they first graduated, going to work together and whoever came back earlier would buy groceries and cook dinner.
Over the weekend, I invited Yao Run and her friends, who were still in the capital, to go out and have fun for two days.
Just when Shen Qingqing thought her life would settle down peacefully and steadily, one night when Wu Fangyi went to pick her up from get off work, they were in a car accident.
