Zhang Yu didn’t expect to run into Cheng Jian again today, and it’s probably his most embarrassing mont.
After a quick glance, Zhang Yu continued discussing with her colleagues. Soone is desperate to save face and doesn’t want anyone to know that Jiang Lili scolded him like a dog. With Jiang Lili’s arrogant nature, surely the news will spread.
Seeing everyone’s calm deanor, it’s clear that they know a thing or two.
Jiang Lili didn’t expect to run into Zhang Yu here. Her first reaction was to question why Zhang Yu hadn’t completed the proposal.
But recalling her brother’s warning, especially with Ye Zhuo’s knowing gaze, her body shivered.
If she dared to trouble Zhang Yu, especially in front of Ye Zhuo, he would surely call her brother imdiately.
Jiang Lili was furious; it felt like a defeat to her. Obviously, she was the eldest daughter of the Jiang Family. How could she be bested by soone from a small place?
No need to vent her anger on Zhang Yu. It doesn’t matter. Isn’t Cheng Jian still there?
Doesn’t Zhang Yu still have feelings for Cheng Jian? Upon seeing this scene, she must feel terrible, right?
Thinking of this, Jiang Lili raised her voice further to scold Cheng Jian, leaving him utterly humiliated.
Cheng Jian’s anger was rising rapidly, "Alright, I know I was wrong."
Cheng Jian’s rebuttal at this mont infuriated Jiang Lili. She felt this damned man only dared to talk back because Zhang Yu was present.
If not for her, even given a thousand reasons, Cheng Jian wouldn’t dare talk back.
Furious, Jiang Lili snapped, "You know you were wrong? You regret after seeing the person you can’t forget."
Jiang Lili’s gaze occasionally swept toward Zhang Yu. Initially, everyone thought she was just openly scolding her boyfriend in front of outsiders.
But as they listened, sothing felt off. Why did Jiang Lili keep looking at Zhang Yu?
Zhang Yu showed no reaction at all, making it really strange.
Zhang Yu didn’t react at all and directly entered the elevator when it arrived.
Seeing her calm deanor, everyone wondered if they were overthinking.
Mike was very curious. After entering the elevator, he asked, "Why was Jiang Lili looking at you just now?"
"Probably because I’m Cheng Jian’s ex-girlfriend," Zhang Yu wouldn’t hide anything.
She wasn’t at fault in this matter. If there’s anything people could bla her for, it would be her lack of a better family background.
Damn, everyone except for Ye Zhuo was shocked. They all witnessed Jiang Lili and Cheng Jian’s interaction. Who would believe they weren’t a couple?
And now Zhang Yu claid she was Cheng Jian’s ex-girlfriend. How could they not be surprised?
"We were classmates at R University; many people know, and quite a few people at the Beijing Headquarters know too."
Zhang Yu didn’t know that Cheng Jian didn’t succeed in getting promoted this ti around. Who knows how that crazy Jiang Lili would gossip about her?
Given the situation, might as well be frank about it.
The elevator ride was quiet until soone popped a question, "When did you break up?"
"When did we break up?" Zhang Yu paused, "The process isn’t important. What’s important is the result, which is that we broke up."
"The conclusion is, dating really hindered my money-making."
"Feelings may change, but efforts won’t betray you. Making money feels great." When they broke up, why they broke up, doesn’t matter.
This is bold, and though it sounds very empowering, they realized Zhang Yu was previously not in a good state; she must be adjusting. Otherwise, if she was so capable, why didn’t she show it?
Now that she’s adjusted, she’s performing exceptionally well.
"Yes, work hard," Ye Zhuo agreed. "Perform your best."
Zhang Yu gave a soft acknowledgnt, returned to her position, and worked overti until 10 PM before packing her things to leave.
When Ye Zhuo left work, he saw Zhang Yu packing up as well, "I’ll give you a ride; my ho is near yours."
Oh? Zhang Yu was taken aback, and the few colleagues preparing to leave were surprised too.
"I saw you during your morning run today, but you didn’t notice ," Ye Zhuo reminded her.
Oh wow, Zhang Yu really didn’t expect to run into Ye Zhuo during her morning run today. Embarrassingly, she hadn’t noticed at all.
So embarrassing, but she quickly adjusted, "I was lost in thought this morning, didn’t notice."
Ye Zhuo isn’t narrow-minded; he probably wouldn’t mind such things.
"Let take you back," Ye Zhuo suggested, offering just to the street corner.
Alright, after dealing with data all day, Zhang Yu was really a bit tired. Since soone offered to drop her at the corner, it was a good thing, "Thank you."
She thanked Ye Zhuo profusely when getting off the car, saving her about ten minutes.
At this hour, she guessed that the braised stall at the alley’s entrance, run by a Sichuan couple, was still open. They worked during the day while the elder prepared the braised dishes at ho, coming out at night to set up the stall.
With good ingredients and clean flavors, it’s a favorite for late-night snacks in the area.
When Zhang Yu hurried to the stall, she was just in ti as they prepared to close. Seeing they’ve got so remaining duck fras and a few vegetables left, she packed everything up directly.
Ye Zhuo initially wondered why Zhang Yu started running right after getting out of the car, worried sothing might have happened, but it turned out she was buying food.
Rembering last ti when he accidentally dropped by the stall and bought so, the taste was wonderful.
Since he ca across it today, Ye Zhuo thought not to miss it. Just as he was about to get out of the car, he saw the stall was already being packed up, realizing Zhang Yu bought all the remaining food, so he stayed in the car.
With snacks ready, he couldn’t miss the drinks, "Today is a good day."
Secured her job, her supervisor sowhat changed his perspective on her, and her relationship with colleagues started to warm up a bit.
More importantly, with that dope Cheng Jian, she clearly stated that she’d never foolishly help him with plans again, and her life was saved.
The major lottery ticket was also safe. Today is truly a good day, how could she not drink?
Ye Zhuo watched as Zhang Yu excitedly ran to the closing grocery store to buy beer and fruit wine, "Not bad at holding your liquor."
"Looks like this girl is planning to celebrate," Ye Zhuo chuckled, then drove off.
With joy, Zhang Yu carried her food and drinks ho. Seeing the cramped room, her mood dipped significantly, "Still need to change the room."
Living in such a room is really depressing, even if spending most of the ti working and staying late at the office. It’s just a place to sleep, but Zhang Yu prefers to live more comfortably.
Actually, Zhang Yu has always lived in the top floor attic. Though it’s an attic, the height is over four ters. Because of this height, another loft was fashioned.
She heard a couple of complaints from tenants before, saying the room doesn’t look big, but because of its height, the heating in winter and AC expenses in sumr were significant.
Zhang Yu guessed that the newly married couple either moved to a new rental or bought a marriage house.
