"Oh, then why did you suddenly..."
Well, after sitting here for so long, he finally rembered to ask why I suddenly beca the company's vice president. It's really disheartening.
"After the breakup, I once thought about dying..."
"What..." The mont the words ca out, Zhang Yu looked at Xiao Lei with a face full of shock.
"But then, I felt like I couldn't just die without repaying the money I owed Li Fei. He found and discouraged from the thought of dying. So, since I couldn't die, I wanted to find a way to pay back the money. He let work at the company, starting to learn. I pay him back part of my salary each month, and once the money is paid off, that'll be it."
As Xiao Lei said these words, she inexplicably thought of Li Fei's image. She didn't know why, but suddenly she really wanted to see his real face without the mask. It always felt like that Li Fei was more lovable.
"Didn't he have any additional demands from you?" Zhang Yu probed again.
"Hmm?"
It seed like he genuinely didn't, it's not just on the surface—he truly didn't have any excessive demands or conditions.
Li Fei was like a very good friend, taking care of , helping , yet never asking for anything.
"Ah, he's pursuing ."
Xiao Lei lied. However, this lie was spoken for Zhang Yu to hear. She wasn't a fake girl; she just wanted to see how Zhang Yu would react upon hearing that soone was pursuing her.
"He, he's pursuing you? And then?" As expected, Zhang Yu asked excitedly.
"And then, what do you want to hear about 'then'? Li Fei is young and promising, with substantial benefits. Besides, after just experiencing emotional entanglents, my heart is tired. If I could find a reliable shoulder, wouldn't it be nice?" Xiao Lei lied again. She suddenly wanted to see what Zhang Yu was really planning.
"No, Xiao Lei, I admit my mistakes, I... give a chance to make it up to you, okay? Xiao Lei, listen to ..."
Zhang Yu was very emotional, reaching out to grab Xiao Lei's hands.
But Xiao Lei quickly retracted her hands.
"But, he also clearly told that he has other won at ho, so I'm still considering."
"Don't consider, people like that just think they can play with won because they have so money, don't trust him..." Zhang Yu hurriedly said.
"So what? You don't have money, yet you still toy with won's feelings, don't you? If all n are like this, then why wouldn't I choose a wealthy one?" Xiao Lei imdiately retorted.
And once again, this shut Zhang Yu up. But he couldn't just give up.
After thinking for a while, Zhang Yu continued, "Xiao Lei, I know the fault lies with , bla if you must, but don't throw yourself and your emotions into a fit of anger."
"I'm not acting in anger; I'm thinking clearly."
"But I'm truly remorseful. Trust , I really will change. Do you know that if this project is successful, I could earn two million in a short ti? Two million! Then we could go back ho, build a two-story house, buy a car, and get married. Then we could do a little business at ho and live our own life, okay?"
At this point, Zhang Yu still wasn't willing to give up the opportunity.
"Are you... really serious?"
This was the outco she wanted before. Even when she hadn't t Zhang Yu again, Xiao Lei still clung to the hope of rekindling their relationship. But why, hearing the desired result, was she not the slightest bit joyful?
"Of course it's true. Trust , in this lifeti, I only love you."
"Then, let's go back now. Let's not go to college anymore; forget about your project, let's just go back together. I don't believe that if we work diligently, we can't starve ourselves."
"But..." Zhang Yu didn't expect Xiao Lei to still be persuading him to give up at this mont. Although he was happy to hear her relent, he couldn't really give up that two million.
"What? Were you lying to earlier?" Xiao Lei asked softly.
"No, it was all true, but we have nothing. If we return, we'll just be working for a monthly salary of two or three thousand, you don't even have a college degree, so how will you find a job? Housing prices are so high now, when will we be able to buy our own hos? So, I want to take this opportunity to earn so money. Very soon, I'll have three million in the account, then we'll pay Li Fei back one million, and we'll have money to go ho. We can endure hardship, but would you want our children to suffer too? If our future child can't even afford a toy, what then?"
Zhang Yu's performance was truly moving, but Xiao Lei was no longer the naive girl she once was. How could she easily believe him?
"I..."
"Help once, and it's also helping us... for the children, for our future..."
"But, in the end, anything decided by Li Fei has to be approved by him to be changed." Xiao Lei said calmly.
"You just sign, after you sign, the project will continue, then you can say it." Zhang Yu said upon hearing the offer.
"No, it's impossible; the teacher who's been teaching , called Ren Li, has set up a new project, and Li Fei also decided to use all the company's funds to develop this project. If successful, this project would earn over five tis the previous project's profits. To restart your project, he must agree."
Xiao Lei lied again. Xiaofan entrusted the company to her entirely, regardless of any project's launch—Xiao Lei had the authority to initiate or halt it. Even if the company collapsed tomorrow, Xiaofan wouldn't bla her for a mont.
To help her once, he could hand over such a huge company casually—what else could Xiao Lei say? What could she do? Whatever it was, she had to prioritize the company's interests first.
"Then, then please persuade him for ." Zhang Yu said persistently.
"Persuade him? How could I persuade him? I already owe him money; do you think I should say you want him to give up a twenty-million-dollar project for two million? How could I say that?" Xiao Lei responded calmly.
"Doesn't he like you? He'd listen to you."
"Zhang Yu, you, what are you saying? Don't you think that's inappropriate?" Xiao Lei suddenly paused.
"There's nothing inappropriate, I don't mind that."
"What if he makes unreasonable demands on ? What if he wants to do sothing like that to agree to restart the project?" Xiao Lei asked, staring straight at Zhang Yu. Expectantly and fearfully waiting.
