All along, Brother hasn’t had much confidence, and now with several brothers from the Rong Family comparing with him, he becos even more invisible. This is a good opportunity for him to regain his confidence.
After the al, Qiao Qiqi asked Brother to personally discuss the details of the new program with Chen Zhen, while she asked Yuan Zichen to go to the office with her.
After the secretary brought two glasses of juice, she left, leaving only Qiao Qiqi and him in the office. Yuan Zichen’s gaze was fixated on the juice glass in front of Qiao Qiqi.
"How have you been lately? If there’s anything you need, feel free to tell Chen Zhen," Qiao Qiqi broke the silence first.
"I’m doing well, the pace of work is quite to my liking. But you seem particularly busy lately... I heard you even attended a dical conference and saved soone," Yuan Zichen said with a smile.
"...You’re really keeping an eye on ," Qiao Qiqi looked at him.
Befuddled by her gaze, Yuan Zichen’s face turned red, and he said, "You’re my boss, of course I keep track of your news."
"You shouldn’t like , I have a boyfriend, and if nothing unexpected happens, we’ll get married after I graduate," Qiao Qiqi said seriously.
Yuan Zichen almost choked on himself, not expecting Qiao Qiqi to be so blunt.
After so thought, he spoke, "Mr. Qiao, I admit I like you, but I know clearly there’s no possibility between us. I can only look up to you in my lifeti. My liking for you is not that pure, it includes admiration, affection, envy, respect... a lot more, but I have no inappropriate intentions towards you."
"As long as I can see you occasionally, I’m content."
"In any case, you should find a girlfriend. Apart from my boyfriend, I won’t marry anyone else in this lifeti." Qiao Qiqi had to put an end to those unnecessary thoughts.
This way is better for everyone.
"Understood, Mr. Qiao. Is there anything you want from since you asked here alone?"
"I should be asking you this. Chen Zhen said your emotions haven’t been right lately. Is there sothing going on?"
"It’s... a little family matter I will handle. It won’t affect work," a hint of anger flashed through Yuan Zichen’s eyes.
"Yuan Zichen, you are no longer that trainee earning just a few hundred bucks, nor soone who can be easily bullied. You’re now an influential idol in the entertainnt industry, you have plenty of money, so you need to toughen up," Qiao Qiqi felt that with his current status and achievents, he shouldn’t be afraid of his incompetent, beastly father anymore.
However, Qiao Qiqi did notice that Yuan Zichen is facing a crisis, but to get through it safely, he needs to stand on his own.
If he’s still as before, easily swayed or bullied, no one can help him.
"I know what to do now." Yuan Zichen’s gaze turned resolute.
"Alright, you go ahead. If anything cos up, you can find for help, or you can go to Chen Zhen... You have my contact information, so reach out directly if needed."
"...Okay!" Yuan Zichen suppressed his inner excitent and stood up to leave.
Outside, his phone soon received a voice ssage from soone, "Good son, have you thought it over? I’m your biological father, how could I harm you? Just listen to , and piles of money will flood into our pockets. Why work so hard every day for others?"
