Chapter 831: Deep Affection
Song Cun raised her eyes and looked at him. He looked at her calmly, with a faint smile in his bright pupils. She looked away the next second.
Zhang Tiancheng curled his lips and continued, "It's just a piece of cake for me. I heard that you rent a house by yourself, your parents are not around, and you just came back from North City. I guess you don't have any close friends here. You don't have to be polite to me. I happen to be on vacation these few days and have nothing to do, so I can come and stay with you."
Song Cun refused without hesitation: "No, I have a lot of good friends here. Everyone has time to come and take care of me during the holidays, so there is no need to trouble you to go to the hospital. I am already very grateful."
"Song Cun, we've been fighting hard together for over half a year. We can be considered comrades in the same trench, right? Is it necessary for you to avoid me like this? Do you think I can harm you? It seems that you didn't understand what I said during dinner tonight."
Song Cun stared at Zhang Tiancheng seriously and said frankly, "I really don't understand."
Zhang Tiancheng crossed his arms in front of his chest, lowered his eyes and smiled, a smile that seemed a bit helpless, "You can't feel it?"
Song Cun's subconscious jumped out and stopped the topic from continuing. "Manager Zhang, I'm a bit dull and boring. I'm very ambitious and put all my thoughts into work. At this stage, I don't have the extra energy and mind to deal with other things."
He was silent for a moment, his smile becoming a little bitter. "Have you rejected me already? You won't even give me a chance to confess? Can you tell me why? Why don't you want to be in a relationship? Are you still not over your last relationship?"
Song Cun clenched his hands and replied calmly: "I just want to work hard."
Zhang Tiancheng: "Since you have already rejected me, can you give me some time to listen to my confession?"
Song Cun's scalp tingled. He had never seen such an operation before. "You don't need to..."
He had already spoken: "Actually, I've been keeping an eye on you since your first day in our group. I particularly admire your dedication and diligence in your work. Whenever a problem comes your way, you always manage to solve it with ease. Yet, you're neither arrogant nor impatient, neither overconfident nor competitive. You're incredibly steady. Every time I see you at your workstation, I feel at ease. I've also spoken these words privately to our boss. The following is for you alone, so please don't spread it around. I have to save my face."
Song Cun grasped the key point and interrupted him, "My transfer this time was the result of your recommendation, right?"
Zhang Tiancheng: "It's mainly because you are good enough. Otherwise, with so many people in the group, why wouldn't I recommend someone else?"
What he said was equivalent to his tacit agreement.
Song Cun felt as if a basin of cold water was poured on his heart, and he suddenly felt very disappointed.
"It's hard not to be attracted to a girl as quiet and hardworking as you. I've actually been attracted to you for a long time, but everyone has been busy with the project lately, and I haven't had time to deal with this relationship. I've restrained myself from revealing anything, fearing that I might scare you, cause your mood swings, and affect the progress of the project. But there's no need to hide it now, Song Cun, I really like you. Will you be my girlfriend? I know you're alone in Yancheng and have no one to rely on, and I can take care of you."
Zhang Tiancheng stared at Song Cun with his black eyes, his face full of sincerity, but this affectionate confession seemed incompatible with his playboy temperament.
Song Cun looked at him for a moment, a little panic on her face, but his affectionate confession did not stir up any ripples in her heart. She was actually still wondering about the truthfulness of his previous words. Was her promotion due to her outstanding personal ability or was it because of him?
Zhang Tiancheng looked at her stunned reaction and assumed that she was touched. "Song Cun? I hope you won't be so hasty to reject me..."
"I'm sorry, I don't like you." Song Cun replied directly, "Thank you for the recommendation, but I don't like relying on special relationships to get promoted, nor do I want to use feelings as a bargaining chip for my career. I think even without the recommendation, I can get promoted purely on my own strength. It may take a while, but I'm not in a hurry. I can wait."
