"Yuan Li, things are different from when we were studying. Cui Mingshuo is now the deputy director in the Banking Regulatory Departnt of the Central Bank. Aren't you aware of what the Banking Regulatory Departnt of the Central Bank does? The qualifications of banking leaders of various countries all need their review! By not giving Cui Mingshuo face, aren't you making life difficult for your own future?" said a woman who was about the sa age as Yuan Li but sowhat lacking both in looks and figure, with a bitter smile on her face.
"Su Qi, isn't that a bit exaggerated? I'm just a branch manager in a little county branch below, far from the emperor's reach. Can he really interfere with that?" Yuan Li said, unconvinced.
"Co on, Yuan Li, are you really that naive or just pretending? Haven't you heard the saying 'a capital official is equivalent to three levels up'? Besides, he holds a real power position in our industry. If he went to Jiangnan Province, not to ntion the Ouzhou City branch manager would definitely have to receive him courteously, perhaps even the provincial bank leaders would co out to et him. Now, tell , if he deliberately badmouths you, do you think you'll ever have a chance of getting promoted in this lifeti?" Su Qi said.
Yuan Li's expression changed upon hearing this, and finally, gritting her teeth, she said fiercely, "So what you're saying is, I should just submit to his lecherous power? No way, I refuse! What's so great about Cui Mingshuo?"
"Alright, alright, no matter what he's worth! Just humble yourself a bit later, make a toast if you can, laugh along if you can. Really, isn't it a good thing to have n fancy you? Just like , I'd love it if he took an interest in ," Su Qi said.
"Tch, shaless. Be careful or I'll tell your husband!" Yuan Li spat.
"Bah, what's there to tell? Is it fair that he gets to fool around outside, and I don't?" Su Qi's eyes revealed a hint of resentful bitterness.
"There's not a single good man! They have one thing in their bowl but are still eyeing the pot!" Yuan Li's expression darkened upon hearing this.
"Exactly, so actually, it's quite normal for Cui Mingshuo to be like this. Now that he's got this position, his confidence has inflated. There's no need to take it to heart; just deal with it and move on," Su Qi said.
"I know, but his smug face is just so disgusting! If it weren't for the rare chance of a class reunion making it inappropriate not to show up, I'd really feel like just heading straight ho," Yuan Li said, her eyes reflecting disgust and helplessness.
"Don't, don't. Earlier when Cui Mingshuo invited you to ride in his car, you used as an excuse, and that was okay, but if you just walk out now, he's definitely going to hold a grudge against you," Su Qi said.
"Sigh, being a woman is so tiring, and being a woman in the workplace is even more exhausting!" Yuan Li sighed in resignation.
"Hehe, actually, it's easy to avoid getting tired. With your beauty and now being single, wouldn't it be restful to find a wealthy man to provide for you? Actually, Cui Mingshuo isn't bad either. If it really cos down to it, why not just make a little sacrifice, Miss Yuan?" Su Qi teased.
"Go away, I can fend for myself; why would I need soone to provide for ?" Yuan Li lifted her hand and playfully smacked Su Qi, but for so reason, she suddenly thought of sothing Ge Dongxu had once said.
"If you really can't be a bank manager, I'll take care of you in the future."
"This silly boy!" Rembering Ge Dongxu's words, Yuan Li's face suddenly blushed as she muttered softly.
"Hey, who are you calling a silly boy?" Su Qi imdiately objected upon hearing Yuan Li.
"Ah, no, I didn't an you!" Yuan Li realized her murmur had caused a misunderstanding with Su Qi and hurriedly clarified.
"If not , then who are you talking about?" Su Qi persisted.
At a loss for an answer, Yuan Li's gaze suddenly sharpened, foolishly staring at the familiar face that had just appeared in her mind a mont ago.
"No way! Am I seeing things?" Yuan Li raised a hand to rub her eyes. It was too much of a coincidence since they were thousands of miles away from Changxi County in the capital.
Su Qi had also noticed Yuan Li's unusual behavior by then and followed her gaze to see Ge Dongxu as well.
A young man who still looked like a student!

Su Qi wore a puzzled face, not understanding why Yuan Li was staring at this young man who had suddenly appeared before them!
"Sister Li, you didn't expect this, did you? I'm also in the capital!" Ge Dongxu saw Yuan Li staring in disbelief, as if he had done sothing very proud of himself, and started to laugh.
"Wow! It really is you! I thought I was dreaming!" Yuan Li finally realized it was true, and excitedly threw herself into Ge Dongxu's arms in surprise.
Su Qi's eyeballs nearly popped out at that mont!
Ge Dongxu's eyeballs also bulged, for he certainly did not know that won are emotional creatures. Just a mont ago, Yuan Li was thinking of him, and now he had suddenly appeared before her eyes. One could imagine how intense the impact was on a woman's psyche and emotions.
In her excitent, it was not strange for an emotionally impulsive woman to suddenly embrace Ge Dongxu tightly.
Having finished a phone call and about to look for Ge Dongxu, Feng Chenqing also had his eyes sowhat glazed over, secretly feeling impressed that indeed, soone who could befriend his grandfather despite his young age had quite the knack for charming ladies. He traveled all the way to the capital, and with just a stroll through the streets, there were acquainted girls throwing themselves into his arms!
"This, Sister Li!" Ge Dongxu gently tapped Yuan Li's fragrant shoulder and quietly reminded her in her ear.
On one hand, Ge Dongxu was sowhat uncomfortable with the stares from Su Qi and Feng Chenqing; on the other, he was also sowhat affected by the warmth and tenderness in his arms, feeling his blood flow accelerate a bit.
With Ge Dongxu's gentle reminder in her ear, Yuan Li realized that he had already grown into an eighteen-year-old lad with a height of 1.78 ters. Her sudden embrace could indeed seem ambiguous and lead to misunderstandings.
So Yuan Li quickly released her hands and then straightened out her hair in an attempt to cover up and alleviate the awkward atmosphere.
"I say, Yuan Li, who is this young man?" Seeing Yuan Li let go, Su Qi sized up Ge Dongxu with a look of ambiguity and curiosity, asking.
"I forgot to introduce him, my sworn brother Ge Dongxu." After all, Yuan Li was a leader and quickly regained her composure, smiling as she pulled Ge Dongxu over to introduce him.
"So you're the sworn brother, hehe, hello Dongxu, my na is Su Qi, I'm Yuan Li's college classmate." Su Qi reached out to Ge Dongxu with an outstretched hand.
"Hello, Sister Qi." Ge Dongxu reached out his hand to her and they shook lightly.
At this point, Feng Chenqing also walked up, and Ge Dongxu took the opportunity to introduce him to Su Qi and Yuan Li, of course without ntioning that he was Elder Feng's grandson.
Though Feng Chenqing had an average appearance, he had a fine temperant and was dressed elegantly, which made Su Qi take an extra glance at him, her eyes betraying a hint of puzzlent. Yuan Li, however, didn't think much of it.
She knew that Ge Dongxu was quite remarkable, and him knowing a few n of quality was not strange at all.
"Sister Li, how co you are in the capital?" After the introductions, Ge Dongxu curiously asked.
