There was a hint of sadness and nostalgia in Liu Mingyu's eyes as she shook her head and smiled, "I have a boyfriend, he joined the army, but there's been no news from him until now, he hasn't returned."
"Isn't it supposed to be a two-year term in the army? Did he extend his service?" Yang Chen asked in confusion.
"I don't know, his family also moved away..." Liu Mingyu smiled with a hint of exhaustion, "Maybe, as others say, he got assigned to so important position."
"But dragging it on like this isn't a solution. You're a woman, you should understand the importance of ti." Yang Chen silently criticized that man, leaving such a woman and becoming a secret agent.
Liu Mingyu nodded, "What can I do? I always think of him, can't forget him. How could I accept another man?" She paused and then smiled again, "Okay, let's not talk about these things. It's almost ti to get off work, let's go back to the office."
Yang Chen naturally had no objection. Since people said not to make a fuss about it, he could only comply.
Speaking of which, Yang Chen still had the check written by Guo Ziheng, to be handed over to his heartless and boring female boss.
When he walked into the office, a group of urban girls had already started grooming themselves to go ho from the company, dressed up beautifully, ready to enjoy the vibrant nightlife.
Zhao Hongyan and Zhang Cai seed quite calm, without bothering to touch up their makeup or change clothes. When they saw Yang Chen return, they smiled and greeted him.
"Was work smooth? Coming back so late," Zhao Hongyan asked.
Yang Chen nodded, curious, "Why don't you and Zhang Cai dress up like others, change clothes or touch up makeup?"
Zhao Hongyan sighed plaintively, "Can't you see? Zhang Cai and I are both married won now. We got married last year, so we don't need all that."
"So you're married?!" Yang Chen was genuinely surprised, realizing why the two young won had fuller figures compared to their colleagues.
Zhang Cai chuckled, "Yang Chen, you wouldn't really have any ideas about us, would you? We're both married, don't even think about it."
"Yang Chen is also a married man with a wife. It's mutual respect," Zhao Hongyan said with a smirk.
Yang Chen thought to himself, can my relationship with Lin Ruoxi be considered as husband and wife? But of course, he wouldn't say it out loud. After an awkward smile, he slipped into Mo Qianni's office.
The office was dimly lit by a desk lamp, and Mo Qianni had taken off her coat, leaving only a pristine white short-sleeved blouse, as she diligently wrote sothing. A pair of gold-rimd glasses perched on her straight nose, and her hair was casually tied into a braid, with a few strands of hair covering her radiant face. She was so focused that she didn't even notice Yang Chen gently pushing open the door.
This was a woman who looked pleasing no matter how she dressed, but had a sowhat bad temper. Perhaps most beautiful won had this flaw, Yang Chen thought candidly.
"Don't you know to knock before entering?" Mo Qianni finally noticed Yang Chen walking to the opposite side of the desk. Although curious about why this man seed so carefree and annoyingly smug, she remained calm and asked mildly.
Yang Chen pulled up a chair and placed the check he held on the table, "Sorry, I'll rember to knock next ti. This is for you."
"What's this?" Mo Qianni put down her pen, looking at the check on the table with so suspicion – the amount was four hundred thousand.
Yang Chen smiled, "Miss Mo asked to collect the final paynt, forty thousand, nothing less."
Mo Qianni picked up the check, looking at the signature on it, indeed it was from that shaless ringleader of Hua Cheng Fashion, Guo Ziheng. She couldn't help but feel puzzled, looking up at Yang Chen carefully. She couldn't understand how this guy managed to get the delinquent money back so easily.
"Are you... alright?" Mo Qianni couldn't help but ask, observing Yang Chen up and down. She felt that Yang Chen must have gone through so life-threatening ordeal to return like this. The previous agents she sent ended up in the hospital, and one of them was still in a wheelchair.
Yang Chen pretended not to know anything, spreading his hands innocently, "What's wrong? Isn't it just collecting the final paynt? I think they were quite reasonable. Mr. Guo even personally sent back."
Damn it! Have those thugs turned vegetarian?! Mo Qianni felt a surge of anger. It was good that the overdue money was recovered, but seeing this man in front of her without a scratch, looking so relaxed, why did she feel so resentful!
Of course, she couldn't show these emotions on the surface. Mo Qianni took a deep breath before saying, "Thank you for your hard work. Your bonus will be included in this month's paycheck. You can leave now."
"Thank you, Miss Mo," Yang Chen nodded satisfactorily and stood up to leave. Just as he was about to step out, he turned back, giving Mo Qianni a smile that seed both genuine and mischievous, "Miss Mo, that black outfit of yours looks great, very beautiful..."
As Yang Chen left, Mo Qianni still couldn't figure it out and glanced at herself. It was clearly a white outfit, where did the black co from? Upon closer inspection, she realized there were faint black shadows in two places on her chest. Because the blouse seed sowhat transparent under the light, she could see them clearly. That wasn't part of the clothing, it was her bra!
"Yang Chen..." Mo Qianni gritted her teeth, her face flushed red with embarrassnt and anger. She slamd her palm on the desk, eyes almost shooting flas, "Just wait and see!"
After bidding farewell to the colleagues in the office, Yang Chen finally felt the joy of being a white-collar worker. This job might be a bit boring compared to selling lamb skewers, but the "environnt" was indeed good. The scent of won in the air alone was incomparable to the stench of the market.
Arriving at the underground parking lot, Yang Chen had just settled into his car when his phone vibrated, displaying a call from Li Jingjing.
Yang Chen smiled as he answered the phone, "Hello."
"Brother Yang..." There was a hint of joy in Li Jingjing's tone, "Thank you."
"Thank you for what?" Yang Chen naturally wouldn't admit to taking down Chen Dehai's stronghold on his own initiative.
"It's about Chen Dehai's matter..." Li Jingjing's voice was sowhat hushed, and then she seed to understand sothing and changed the subject, "Anyway, thank you. Both my parents and I are very grateful."
Listening to the girl's gentle voice, Yang Chen also breathed a sigh of relief. It seed that this girl was clever too. He smiled and said, "Is that so? That's good. Let your dad continue doing business. I'll chat with him tomorrow morning."
"Yeah, I got it."
"Is there anything else?" Yang Chen didn't mind chatting with Li Jingjing for a bit longer, but it was late and there might be traffic.
"Nothing... nothing else," Li Jingjing hesitated for a mont, "I just wanted to know when Brother Yang will co to school to see ."
Only then did Yang Chen rember his promise, feeling regretful for being careless. He quickly said, "I just started work this week, so I might be a bit busy, but I'll definitely co by within this week. Don't worry."
Li Jingjing happily agreed before hanging up the phone.
Yang Chen was about to start his car when his phone rang again, this ti it was Wang Ma.
It was strange for Wang Ma to call him at this ti. After all, he had promised to co ho for dinner. Before he could say anything, he heard Wang Ma urgently shout from the other end of the phone, "Young Master! Co back quickly! Sothing has happened!"
