So what if I get laughed at? It's no big deal!
Hearing the footsteps of that woman behind him, a hint of relief appeared on Lin Congzhi's cold face.
He was genuinely afraid that this woman, who had become so concerned with saving face, would turn away without any backbone. If that happened, he would have to start all over again.
Life brings too much helplessness to many people, and its cruelty is mainly concentrated here, no longer allowing you, as an adult, to be as willful as a child.
...
Entering the familiar lobby, nothing had changed much.
The more this happened, the more uneasy Jiang Yimei became.
However, now that she's inside, she won't leave easily.
She followed Lin Congzhi with her head down the whole way, not uttering a word, as quiet as Lin Congzhi's tail.
Fortunately, she was careful this time, watching Lin Congzhi's strong and powerful strides; otherwise, she would have foolishly bumped into this incomparably hard iceberg again, just like before.
The elevator arrived quickly, and Lin Congzhi, with his hands in his pockets and an arrogant expression, was the first to step inside.
Jiang Yimei, filled with trepidation and feeling as if she were standing on the edge of an abyss, hesitated to take a step for a long time.
Upon seeing this, Lin Congzhi's face stiffened, his eyes turning icy cold: "Remember what you just said."
Seemingly sensing the man's displeasure and the faint contempt in his eyes, Jiang Yimei, who valued her reputation above all else, complained aggrievedly, "Can't I even wait a few seconds? Honestly."
After saying that, he obediently went inside.
However, once inside the elevator, she remained anxious and uneasy; so her demeanor did not change. She kept her head down, following behind Lin Congzhi, becoming an inescapable "big tail."
Lin Congzhi had no time to care about her inner fears; whatever had to be faced, had to be faced eventually.
"bite!"
About a minute later, the elevator arrived at the fifteenth floor.
With confident strides, Lin Congzhi walked out with an upright posture.
Jiang Yimei felt as if she were walking on thin ice, unable to take a single step; and the closer she got to the company, the heavier her feet felt, as if they were inlaid with steel.
Sensing the woman's predicament behind him, Lin Congzhi, who had brought her back, showed some concern, but it sounded rather heartless, not giving the woman time to think or a chance to refute.
"Keep up!"
The voice was harsh, almost devoid of emotion, and carried a nasty, commanding tone.
Even in such a terrible state, Jiang Yimei's shapely legs inexplicably took a step forward, ignoring the immense psychological barrier.
Perhaps this is trust, a silent trust, the most unique feeling this man gave her.
In short, with this man by her side, all difficulties can be easily resolved; whether she is late for class, caught sleeping, unable to answer the teacher's questions, or being bullied or robbed; or even now, after seven years apart and strangers to each other, she still feels that this man can help her defuse the overwhelming ridicule and criticism that is about to come.
Hearing the soft, tactile footsteps of the long-legged "tail" behind him, Lin Congzhi felt reassured and continued walking forward with steady steps.
The first person to greet me was the company's receptionist.
"Hello, Manager Lin!"
Seeing Jiang Yimei following behind Lin Congzhi with obvious embarrassment, Xiao Tong, who was somewhat familiar with Jiang Yimei, was extremely surprised.
She hadn't expected Jiang Yimei, who had resigned, to return; and it seemed she had been brought back after being arrested. What had happened? Had Jiang Yimei broken the law and been arrested? Had Jiang Yimei resigned because she stole the company's trade secrets?
In short, things are getting interesting now.
