204: Chapter 202: Fang Min’s Worries 204: Chapter 202: Fang Min’s Worries Fang Min’s office door was still open, and she was busy staring at her computer, completely engrossed in her work.
Tangyu, noticing her serious deanor, decided not to disturb her and walked in quietly, taking a seat and silently admiring her.
When Sister Min focused on her work, she resembled Sister Xinxin a lot, yet there was also a difference.
Sister Xinxin embodied the typical successful career woman, with strong personality and a powerful presence that was very impactful.
Sister Min, on the other hand, had a more dignified and maternal earnestness to her, which felt like a cup of hot water in the winter—warm and comforting.
To be precise, Zhao Xinxin couldn’t yet be called a mature woman; a more accurate description for her would be a mature woman.
Sister Min had the aura of a majestic woman, the kind that made one feel the urge to seek refuge in her embrace.
In terms of beauty, Fang Min truly wasn’t on par with Zhao Xinxin and Liu Shanshan, and when it ca to age, she was nearly thirty.
Talking about physique, Fang Min was slightly on the plumper side, a beauty with a sense of fullness to her.
She had good skin, though not quite like Zhao Xinxin’s, but not far off either.
What’s most important was that Fang Min had a quality no other woman had.
Perhaps, such a transformation only cos with reaching her age.
After so thought, it had been several days since Tangyu last saw Sister Min, and he found himself staring, transfixed.
The sensation was so wondrous, as if he were admiring a masterpiece by a great master, a magnificent work of art.
The most astonishing thing was that Fang Min was still single to this day, which was quite rare.
It’s unclear how much ti had passed before Fang Min finally looked up and saw Tangyu.
She let out a sound of surprise and said, sowhat astonished, “When did you get here?”
Tangyu stood up and walked over to Fang Min’s desk with a smile, saying, “I’m not sure, I’ve forgotten.
It seems I just arrived a mont ago.” Tangyu really wasn’t certain how long he’d been there, for he had been utterly captivated monts before.
Fang Min too paused, glanced at Tangyu, and seed to recall sothing, scolding him playfully, “You didn’t think to alert when you arrived, huh?
I was so focused just now, I didn’t even notice you ca in.”
“Hehe, no worries, it’s not like it’s an ergency.
I saw Sister Min was busy, so I didn’t disturb you, and there’s nothing pressing at the mont.
Sister Xinxin asked to bring these docunts for you to review,” Tangyu said with a smile as he handed over the docunts from Changyou.
Fang Min took the docunts and began to read through them.
Soon, her expression revealed a touch of surprise as she looked up at Tangyu and comnted, “The Changyou case, you’ve gotten it so soon?”
“Yeah, of course.
When I make my move, it naturally falls into place.
If all goes well, we could begin planning and making other preparations by this week,” Tangyu replied.
“Hehe, not bad at all, though a bit self-flattering.
Just joking.
You really deserve praise.
I thought it would take you at least a week or even half a month to secure it, but I didn’t expect you to complete it so quickly.
I believe Sister Xinxin has also praised you, so I won’t say much more.
Keep up the good work,” Fang Min said.
Tangyu pouted, “Sister Xinxin didn’t praise , though.”
“No praise?
How co?” Fang Min asked, perplexed.
“I don’t know; Sister Xinxin seed to be in a bad mood, I guess,” Tangyu shrugged.
“Oh, I see.
Sister Xinxin t with Huangfu Jing this morning, and it seems she didn’t get a warm reception.
Don’t take it to heart,” Fang Min replied.
At that mont, Fang Min’s phone began to ring.
She glanced at her mobile phone, and her eyebrows instantly knit together, a flicker of an unreadable expression passing through her eyes.
After hesitating for a while, she hung up the call.
“Well, Tangyu, I don’t have anything else here.
You keep on discussing the other matters of this case with the people at Changyou, and report to if anything cos up.
I will credit you with a major accomplishnt for this month’s performance,” Fang Min said, regaining her composure.
But just as she finished speaking, her phone rang again.
Fang Min’s brows furrowed once more, and she promptly set her phone to silent mode and placed it aside.
Observing Fang Min’s expressions and actions, Tangyu couldn’t help but wonder to himself if Sister Min could be entangled with a man.
“There’s nothing else; you can go now,” Fang Min said upon noticing that Tangyu had not yet left.
Tangyu spoke up, “Sister Min, you seem to be preoccupied with sothing on your mind.”
Fang Min looked at Tangyu and after a pause, she replied, “You don’t need to ask about that.
Just take care of your own work.
I’m fine, you don’t have to worry about .
Now go on, I have work to attend to as well.”
“Min, I’m sure you have sothing on your mind, and I want to care for you.
It’s best not to keep things bottled up inside.
Talking about it might make you feel better.
Even if you’re hesitant to speak, I think I can guess what it’s about—you must have a guy you’re not very fond of pestering you, right?
Although you don’t like him much, you probably don’t hate him either.
So, you’re a bit troubled and unsure what to do, right?
Co on, Min, speak up.
Maybe I could actually help you,” Tangyu said.
Fang Min was taken aback.
Her situation was indeed as Tangyu had described, and she wondered, was her mind really that easy to read?
How did Tangyu guess everything correctly?
However, she had always preferred not to talk about such things with others.
What’s more, Tangyu was several years her junior—a younger brother to her.
“You help ?
How could you help ?
You make it sound as if you’re so kind of love expert, yet you’re all by yourself at an advanced age.
Just take care of yourself, okay?
Anyway, my situation is a bit complicated, so better not to ask too much,” Fang Min said, shaking her head.
“Co on, Min, just because I’m single doesn’t an I don’t understand these things.
You don’t have to fly in an airplane to know how it flies.
Practice and theory don’t necessarily conflict or contradict each other.
I may not have the practice, but that doesn’t an I lack the theory.
Besides, bystanders often see clearer than the ga players do.
If you talk about your situation, maybe I can give you so advice.
Always being pursued by others and keeping things to yourself—that’s no solution,” Tangyu said.
Tangyu’s words had indeed moved Fang Min a little.
It seed like a good idea to get so advice, and while she would have refused if anyone else offered, there was sothing almost magical about Tangyu’s offer, an impulse to talk to him.
This feeling was as if Tangyu was her kin, her own brother.
When wronged, the first people one thinks of are often their relatives.
Fang Min was an only child with no siblings.
Fang Min looked at Tangyu, hesitated for a mont, and then nodded, “Okay, then I will tell you about it.
You see what I should do.
These past few days, I’ve really been in a dilemma and haven’t been sleeping well at night.
Even at work, my mind keeps turning to that matter.
But Tangyu, you can’t ntion this to anyone, not even to Sister Xinxin, you understand?”
Tangyu chuckled inwardly, Min had her girlish side too, and nodded in agreent, “Don’t worry, Min.
I’ll take it to my grave and won’t ntion it to anyone.
If you can’t trust others, can’t you trust ?”
Fang Min shook her head.
She didn’t know why, but even though she hadn’t spent much ti with Tangyu and had barely seen him, she inexplicably trusted him deeply.
Her first instinct told her that he was trustworthy.
Fang Min looked outside to make sure no one was there before speaking to Tangyu, “Here’s the thing, my parents insisted I et with a match they chose, bragging about his good qualities and how marvelous he was—as if he was the best in the world.
They forced to go on a blind date with him.
I couldn’t say no to them, so I agreed.
My parents are quite pleased with the guy and keep trying to convince , pushing to accept the match and date him.
I understand their feelings.
After all, I’m nearly thirty, and I still don’t have a significant other, so it’s understandable that they’re anxious.
But I feel I’m still young and not yet ready to marry.”
“Heh, Min, you are still very young.
Nowadays, getting married at thirty is really quite early,” Tangyu said.
“Exactly, I’m so busy with work.
Plus, the company is going through a crucial period of developnt.
I don’t have ti to think about personal matters.
The guy himself isn’t bad, his qualifications are quite good.
He owns a small factory, assets worth millions, and drives luxury cars.
He looks presentable and gives off a decent impression.
He’s only thirty-five, so that makes him a sowhat accomplished man.
We’ve t a few tis, and he hasn’t left a bad impression.
Perhaps influenced by my parents’ nagging, I don’t have any ill feelings towards him, but I’m not particularly fond of him either.
This is what’s troubling , and it bothers .
My parents keep urging to start a relationship with him and marry off so I can quit my job and be a housewife.
But personally, I’m reluctant.
For one thing, I don’t want to marry so soon, and secondly, I feel I barely know him.
There is so much I don’t know about him.
And for so reason, I always feel like he might be hiding sothing from , which I can’t figure out,” Fang Min said, shaking her head.
Tangyu pursed his lips.
Most won, when faced with an iffy choice like this, would end up being swayed by their parents.
If this continued, Tangyu feared Min might just agree to the marriage in a confused state because of her parents.
“Min, I think marriage is a matter that concerns your lifelong happiness and shouldn’t be taken lightly.
If you don’t even know the man very well, agreeing to be with him is definitely a loss.
Your parents are rushing you because they care about your happiness, why else would they want you to find a suitable match?
But happiness isn’t just about material wealth; it’s even more about emotional fulfillnt.
Besides, with your capabilities, you can ensure a comfortable material life for yourself without relying on a man.
So, I think the most important thing for you is to find soone you really like; that’s what true happiness looks like,” Tangyu said, realizing for so reason that he would be very upset and uncomfortable if Min married soone else.
“Of course, I’m aware of that.
If I were to et soone I truly liked who also liked , I would certainly cherish it.
But all these years, there has been no one.
I also genuinely don’t have ti to ponder personal issues right now.
I’m not getting any younger, and every ti I see my parents getting older, I feel they’ve aged a lot when we talk about my business.
Sotis it’s really hard to bear.
Thinking from their perspective, I also consider marrying now; at least that would stop them from worrying about , so they could have so peace and enjoy their twilight years.
I do have these thoughts, which is why I’m so troubled by this matter and unsure of how to choose,” Fang Min said.
