“If you had been a few hours later, we wouldn’t have been able to get through on the phone. We’re preparing to move. I’ll call him for you.” The man shouted outside, “Mr. Jiang, someone is looking for you.”
Jiang Xiaoyan was directing people to load things onto the car, sweating profusely but looking more resolute. She strode towards the office and asked, "Who is it?"
"I don't know, it's a woman!"
Jiang Xiaoyan answered the phone and said, "Who is this?"
“Sister Xiaoyan, it’s me, Fengxia!” Zhang Fengxia said.
"Fengxia!" Jiang Xiaoyan felt a pang of sadness upon hearing this name. She took a deep breath and said, "Aren't you busy today? Why did you think of calling me? And even came all the way here."
“I… resigned!” Zhang Fengxia said, her eyes reddening. “I quit. I’ve wanted to leave for a long time. The job was too tiring, I worked non-stop every day, and the pay was low. Now I’m unemployed and staying at home.”
Jiang Xiaoyan froze on the spot, and after a long silence, she said, "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry."
"Don't say that. No matter what the outcome, you're not wrong. I should apologize to you for coveting something that didn't belong to me. I still hope you can reconcile. Duoduo is still young, after all, she's a child," Zhang Fengxia advised.
“From childhood to adulthood, I’ve always walked the path laid out for me by others, including my marriage to him, which was also decided by my family. I want to live for myself for once. I’ve thought a lot about this these past few days, and I’ve finally figured it out.” Jiang Xiaoyan smiled.
"Then I should congratulate you, are you moving your factory?" Zhang Fengxia asked.
“Yes, I have to cut ties with my past self. I have a lot of money, and I’ve already saved some to support Duoduo’s living expenses and schooling. I plan to use the rest of the money to make cosmetics. Even if I fail, I’m not afraid. I’m terrified that he will find me. I’ve mustered up courage that I’ve never had before in my life.” Jiang Xiaoyan said with some emotion, “It’s like a child in its mother’s arms, finally facing the storm.”
"That's good. So many people go through life without ever figuring things out, but you seem to have." Zhang Fengxia thought for a moment and said, "I'm free lately, how about I come help you?"
"It's not appropriate for a big boss like you to say this." Jiang Xiaoyan didn't really want to see Zhang Fengxia. No matter how good their relationship was, after what happened, she still felt a bit resentful.
“It’s alright, I’ll just help you check it out. I’ll leave once I find a job!” Zhang Fengxia said, feeling an indescribable sense of guilt and heartache for Jiang Xiaoyan.
Actually, my feelings were similar to Lu Feng's at the beginning: I felt that this woman's life was too bitter.
"Okay, then come over. I've moved. Write down my phone number. The factory will be moving soon, and I've found a new place that's cheaper."
"good!"
Zhang Fengxia wrote down the phone number and bought a plane ticket to Shenzhen that afternoon.
Inside Lu Feng's office, Su Yourong took off her sunglasses and casually placed them on the table. She looked around and went into the inner room.
"Come out, that's my bedroom!" Lu Feng said, standing up and walking inside, trying to pull her out.
Su Yourong entered the bedroom and lay down on the bed without any ceremony, saying, "This bed is quite soft. You really know how to pick an office for yourself. You call a girl in whenever you're free to relieve your fatigue, right? Your manager, that... Zhang... Zhang Fengxia, has certainly done her fair share of trouble on this bed, hasn't she?"
“You only see what people are capable of seeing, and that’s all you see,” Lu Feng said, standing at the door.
"It's not just my imagination, all the bosses do it this way. Haven't you noticed that the secretaries around them are all incredibly beautiful? With your wealth, if you just promise a small amount of profit, even if half of the tens of thousands of people in this company are women, which woman could escape your grasp?" Su Yourong pulled the blanket over herself and patted the pillow next to her, saying, "Lie down. You've already put two pillows in there, why are you still pretending to be innocent with me?"
"I'll use two pillows myself, you get up." Lu Feng walked to the bedside and reached out to help her up.
Su Yourong grabbed his neck with both hands and pulled him up sharply, shouting, "Come here! Where do you think you're going? Hahahaha!"
Lu Feng lost his balance and fell directly into her arms. He struggled to get up, and with a dark expression, he shouted, "That's enough!"
"Are you angry with me?" Su Yourong hugged the blanket and looked at him with her big eyes. "Sun Hung Kai is preparing to withdraw its investment, do you know that? And they won't let me follow up. If Mr. Feng doesn't invest, you'll be facing a whole array of home appliance products, and you'll have to make up for next year's R&D budget, right? Don't be so temperamental. I know you're divorced and in a bad mood. Is this how you face investors?"
