Part Two: Midsummer Encounter, Chapter 11.

"Awen, get up!"

A voice called to me, shaking me incessantly.

I felt the shaking and immediately woke up, yelling, "Earthquake!"

"What earthquake? I'm telling you to get up."

It was Xiaoyao calling me.

I shook my head with a wry smile, then lay back down, saying, "Xiaoyao, it's a rare day off today, let me sleep a little longer, okay? Don't bother me."

Seeing my attitude, Xiaoyao yelled, "Awen, get up! Qiaoxin is coming over soon!"

I had already tucked my head under the covers, but after hearing Xiaoyao's words, I immediately stuck my head out and asked, "Qiaoxin! Qiaoxin is coming over too? What are you two up to?"

Xiaoyao first sat down next to me... She stood by the bed, looking at me and saying, "Of course something's up. Why would you be so bored as to come here?"

I finally opened my sleepy eyes and looked at Xiaoyao, asking, "What's wrong?"

Xiaoyao pulled me out of bed, saying, "Get up quickly, you'll find out soon."

Seeing Xiaoyao pull me, I impulsively hugged her and we lay back down on the bed. As soon as I hugged her, Xiaoyao exclaimed, "Awen, what are you doing in broad daylight?"

I moved my head away... I whispered in Xiaoyao's ear, "Xiaoyao, it feels like it's been so long since we last met..." But Xiaoyao kept pushing me away and said, "Awen, stop messing around. It won't be good if Qiaoxin sees us when she gets here."

I really wanted to say, "Qiaoxin's been messing around with me before, what's there to be afraid of?"

But I knew that if I continued, there would be another "family dispute," so I said, "What exactly are you and Qiaoxin doing?"

Only then did Xiaoyao break free from my embrace, stand up, and say with a hint of anger, "Awen, look, my clothes are all wrinkled. How am I supposed to go out and play?"

I hurriedly asked, "Go out and play? Play what?"

Xiaoyao straightened her clothes before saying, "I went to see Qiaoxin yesterday and asked her to come over this morning so we can go out and play together."

Hearing Xiaoyao's actions, I smiled wryly and said, "How can you be so bored?"

Xiaoyao, hearing that I not only didn't praise her but also mocked her, "Hmph!"

turned her head away, pouted, and stopped talking to me.

Seeing this, I was thinking of saying something nice, but since it wasn't my suggestion to go, I buried my head back under the covers, wanting to go back to sleep.

Just then, it sounded like someone else had come. I heard a voice say, "Xiao Yao, why are you standing here so angrily?"

Wasn't that Qiao Xin? She really came! Faced with this situation, I quickly hid under the covers, not daring to make a sound.

Xiao Yao angrily pointed at me and said, "It's all his fault! He said he doesn't want to go."

Qiao Xin looked in the direction Xiao Yao was pointing and asked suspiciously, "Him? You mean A Wen?"

Xiao Yao didn't even look at her and said, "That's right, who else could it be?"

Qiao Xin laughed when she saw Xiao Yao's expression and said, "Let me talk to him. I don't believe he dares not to go."

Qiao Xin called out again, "Chen Wen, you come out here."

I had no choice but to throw off the covers, sit up, and asked with a wry smile, "Qiao Xin, what's wrong with you and Xiao Yao? You're going out on a rare holiday instead of sleeping. Haven't you heard the saying 'A long summer day is perfect for sleeping'?"

Hearing my words and seeing my expression, Qiao Xin laughed and asked, "Are you going or not?"

I could only sigh, shake my head, and say, "Yes, yes, of course I'm going. If you two beauties suffer any loss, I'll be the one who loses out."

...I went on a trip with Xiaoyao and Qiaoxin. On the way, I asked Xiaoyao, "Xiaoyao, where are we going to play?"

Xiaoyao and Qiaoxin smiled mysteriously and said, "You'll know when we get there."

Seeing this, I could only shut my mouth and obediently follow them.

Soon, I finally found out our destination. It turned out they wanted to go to an "amusement park"!

Oh my god, no way, we've really missed out this time.

Xiaoyao saw my expression and laughed, "Awen, don't you like coming out with us?"

I quickly shook my head and said, "No way, I'm so happy, how could I not like it?"

Xiaoyao said again, "Then why do you look like that?"

I said, "No, I was just thinking about something."

Qiaoxin was also interested and asked, "Awen, what is it?"

I said with a bitter face, "I was thinking about how to get through next week."

Qiaoxin didn't understand what I meant and asked again, "What do you mean?"

Xiaoyao smiled and said, "Awen..." "Oh, what are you afraid of? We're not asking you to pay."

Qiaoxin finally understood, then smiled at me and said, "Awen, I didn't know you were so stingy."

I hate hearing people call me stingy more than anything, so I immediately replied, "Who said I'm stingy? You guys can play whatever you want, I'll pay for everything today."

Xiaoyao nodded and said, "That's more like it. Do we two girls really have to pay for everything ourselves?"

After saying that, she pulled Qiaoxin and said, "Qiaoxin, let's go in quickly."

Then Qiaoxin and Xiaoyao ran in together, leaving me alone standing there.

I thought to myself, "Isn't this the amusement park that Yishan and I came to?"

"How coincidental, we're back here again."

Before I could think any further, Xiaoyao called out to me from ahead, "Awen, hurry up and come over, or we won't wait for you."

I looked up and saw her and Qiaoxin, and I really felt like I had been tricked by them today.

...I just followed behind Xiaoyao and Qiaoxin like an idiot, playing with them the whole time. But usually, it was just the two of them playing while I stood below watching.

Finally, Xiaoyao and Qiaoxin got tired of playing, and Xiaoyao suggested going on the Ferris wheel. Qiaoxin agreed, so I had no choice but to join them.

As soon as we sat down, I heard Xiaoyao and Qiaoxin say, "Awen, look outside! Look, where's our home?"

I looked outside too, and seeing this scene reminded me of that day... Yishan, like a child, pulled me and said, "Chen Wen, look outside! Look, that's the music store over there, and that's your school!"

Looking at Yishan's actions, I couldn't help but laugh.

When Yishan saw me laughing at her, she said embarrassedly, "Chen Wen, are you laughing at me?"

I shook my head and said, "No, it's just that you seem to be acting like someone who's never been to an amusement park before. Everything seems so new and exciting to you."

Hearing my words, Yishan pouted and said, "I really have never been to an amusement park before, why are you laughing at me like that?"

Seeing Yishan's expression, I quickly apologized and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I was wrong."

I saw that Yishan was still pouting and not saying a word, so I pointed outside and said, "Yishan, look, your house is over there." Yishan

finally looked outside, and after a long time said, "No, Chen Wen, you're talking nonsense. My house isn't over here, there's no way I could see it."

I pointed outside again and said, "How could you not see it? Look, isn't there a tall building over there, and a river next to it? Can you see it?"

Yishan was now diligently searching for the place I mentioned, and after a while, she happily said, "Over there, over there, I found it!" I pointed a little further down and said, "Look, go down along the river, isn't there a row of houses? The first one is it." Yishan looked for

a while...

"Chen Wen, that's not my house!" she said.

I laughed and said, "Soon, soon, it'll almost be your house."

Yi Shan asked me suspiciously, "Chen Wen, what do you mean?"

I suppressed a smile and said, "That's my house."

Yi Shan didn't understand for a moment, her face still showing confusion. When she saw me laughing, she realized and said, "Oh, Chen Wen, are you kidding me? You're asking for it!"

Seeing that Yi Shan was about to stand up, I immediately stopped her and said, "If you move around now, you're really asking for it."

Only then did Yi Shan remember that we were on the Ferris wheel. After settling down, she said, "Chen Wen, you'll see when we get off." ...

"Ah Wen, Ah Wen, what are you thinking about?"

Xiao Yao called out to me when she saw me lost in thought.

I snapped out of my daze and said, "No, I was just looking outside."

Qiaoxin asked suspiciously, "Really? You seem to be thinking about something happy."

I quickly covered it up, saying, "I was thinking about being able to come out and play with you two, of course I'm happy."

Xiaoyao said disbelievingly, "Really? But you didn't seem like that this morning."

I quickly said, "Oh right, how could I lie to you two?"

Xiaoyao and Qiaoxin said at the same time, "You've lied to us so many times already."

Then they looked at each other and laughed.

Seeing them laugh, I laughed along with them, hoping they wouldn't ask any more questions.

After a while, Xiaoyao stopped laughing and said, "Awen, don't think you can get away with this. What were you thinking just now?"

I hurriedly made up an excuse in my mind.

Before I could even speak, Xiao Yao said, "Awen, are you thinking about that girl who came here with you last time?"

Hearing Xiao Yao's words, Qiao Xin asked me suspiciously, "That girl? Who is Awen?"

I could only helplessly say, "It's Yishan! Sigh! That was a long time ago. I didn't expect you to still remember, Xiao Yao."

Xiao Yao ignored me and said, "Hmph! You're thinking about other girls while you're with us."

Qiao Xin also asked me, "Awen, I haven't seen Yishan in a long time. How is she doing?"

Seeing Xiao Yao's reaction, I wanted to hide the truth about Yishan, so I answered Qiao Xin, "I don't know. I haven't seen Yishan since last summer vacation." Still relying on your hands?

Xiao Yao, hearing my words, asked in a skeptical tone, "Really?"

Hearing Xiao Yao's tone, I couldn't help but laugh and said, "Xiao Yao, you should know best, right? I've been with you for almost a lifetime. You should know whether I've seen her or not."

Xiao Yao thought it made sense, and her expression softened slightly. Then she asked me, "So you were really thinking of her just now?"

Since Yi Shan had already been mentioned, I nodded in agreement.

Qiao Xin asked me, "A Wen, why did you come here with Yi Shan back then?"

Just as I was about to answer, we reached the ground floor, and a staff member opened the door for us to leave.

...After getting off the roller coaster, I asked Xiaoyao what she wanted to play. Xiaoyao looked around and saw a haunted house nearby, so she pulled Qiaoxin to go in. However, because I was too scared to go in, she and Qiaoxin teased me for a while before going in alone.

I sat down on a chair nearby and waited for them to come out. But seeing that chair reminded me of Yishan... Yishan pulled me and said, "Chen Wen, let's go into the haunted house."

I saw that Yishan had just gotten off the roller coaster and wasn't even resting before wanting to play something else, so I said, "Yishan, I think we should rest first and play later."

Yishan was also tired, so she nodded and sat down on a chair nearby.

I bought two ice creams and gave them to Yishan. Without any hesitation, she took them from my hand and started eating. Seeing this, I couldn't help but laugh and said, "A girl like you, eating other people's food so unceremoniously, without even saying thank you?"

Yishan, however, held the ice cream back to me and said, "Here, take it back, I don't want it anymore."

Seeing this, I widened my eyes and said, "You only give it back after you've eaten it?"

Yishan put the ice cream in her mouth first, then smiled and said, "I was really afraid you'd take it back and complain."

Looking at her ice cream, I couldn't help but nod and say, "I was kind of thinking of taking it back."

Yishan looked at me and said in a coquettish tone, "You wish!"

Seeing me sitting in the chair lost in thought again, Xiao Yao scolded me, "Chen Wen, why are you sitting in that chair daydreaming again?"

Only then did I see Xiao Yao and Qiao Xin emerge from the haunted house. I immediately stood up and said, "Do you want some ice cream? I'll go buy some."

Xiao Yao unceremoniously sat back down and said, "Sure, go buy some."

I went to a nearby store, bought three ice creams, and gave them to the two of them.

While they ate, I asked them, "Do you want to play some more? I think you've almost finished all the rides. I think we should go get some lunch first."

Qiao Xin nodded and said, "Okay, where should we eat?"

Xiao Yao suddenly looked at me, smiled mysteriously, and said, "Awen, I want to eat at the place you treated Yi Shan to dinner last time."

I looked at the restaurant outside and pointed, "There?"

Xiao Yao nodded at the restaurant.

I immediately shook my head and said, "No, it's too expensive there."

Xiao Yao's face immediately showed displeasure, and she said, "You can invite Yi Shan to eat there, but you can't invite both of us?"

Hearing Xiao Yao bring up Yi Shan's name again, I had no choice but to nod and agree to her request.

... A waiter came over to us, handed us the menu, and asked, "What would you like to order?"

After looking at the menu, I closed it and said, "Xiao Yao, you order for me, I need to go to the restroom first."

Then I went out, and just as I was about to reach the restroom, I heard someone call out, "Isn't that Chen Xiaodi? What a coincidence to run into you here."

I turned around and saw it was my uncle. I called out, "Uncle, what a coincidence! You're here too?"

At that moment, a middle-aged man next to my uncle asked, "Ah Zhong, who is he?"

My uncle said to the man, "Brother, he's Xin Hui's colleague."

The man looked at me and asked, "You're Xin Hui's colleague?"

I nodded and said, "Not really a colleague, I'd say she's her subordinate."

The man said, "Oh, I see."

My uncle got up and walked over to me, saying, "Young Master Chen, this is Xin Hui's father. Could you tell us about Xin Hui's recent situation?"

I said, "Recent situation? I only know about the company for a week, and it's not even..." Before I could finish, the man said, "You don't need to say anything. I don't want to hear about her anyway."

I saw that although the man said that, his expression didn't reflect that; instead, there was an element of worry on his face.

My uncle noticed something was amiss and asked me, "I heard Xin Hui has been working late this week, hasn't she?"

Hearing this, I knew I was supposed to tell Xin Hui's father, so I embellished her story about her work that week. The young man listened, muttering, "How can she stand that?" After

I finished, my uncle went over to the young man and said, "Brother, look, that girl is working so hard, just forgive her and let her come back."

The young man stubbornly replied, "..." "Why didn't she come back and tell me herself? Why did I have to go and call her back?"

Uncle said again, "Brother, don't be so stubborn. I know you care about that girl the most. Just make a phone call or something and tell her to come back."

The boy still stubbornly said, "Don't even think about it. She should have expected this situation when she disobeyed me and ran away. Who told her not to be a proper young lady and instead go out and show her face like this? She doesn't know how lucky she is." When

I heard the boy say this about Xin Hui, I... I couldn't listen anymore, so I said, "Uncle."

The boy, hearing me call him, asked, "Are you calling me?"

I nodded and said, "Because you are Xin Hui's father, I respectfully call you Uncle."

Uncle nodded and said, "Hmm, you're a polite young man."

I added, "But I don't know if I'll remain so polite from now on."

Hearing this, Uncle asked, "How so?"

Without thinking, I said, "Although I'm not entirely clear about what's going on between you and Xin Hui, seeing your attitude just now..." "I can pretty much figure out why Sister Xinhui ran away."

Hearing my words, my uncle angrily said, "Young man, what do you mean by that? Have I been bad to her? From childhood to adulthood, I've never disappointed her in anything she wanted. For her education, I hired the best teachers and provided her with the best environment—things I didn't have as a child. Now I've given her everything. Isn't that being bad to her?"

My uncle said, "Brother, of course, you're the best to Xin'er. Little Chen, please don't say anything more."

I and... Ignoring my uncle's words, I continued, "Yes, you think you're giving her the best, but have you ever considered what Xin Hui truly considers the best? Do you think what you couldn't have as a child is what Xin Hui wants? Have you truly thought about Xin Hui's well-being?"

I took a breath and continued, "You say you give her the best education and the best environment, but do you know if everyone likes that kind of environment? I don't think your thinking is wrong, but is what you think is right necessarily right for Xin Hui? When she said she wanted to go out to work, you just kept stopping her. Did you try to communicate with her properly? How can you call yourself a good father? Actually, many children are being ruined by parents like you, do you know that?"

Seeing that my uncle had no words to refute me, I thought he must have realized something, so I said, "Uncle, I was just expressing my own thoughts. I don't know what Xin Hui is thinking, but I can say for sure..." Yes, she still misses you very much. Yesterday at the restaurant, I overheard Peiling asking her about family matters, and she seemed very nostalgic. I think a good parent, when necessary, should be able to set aside their status and communicate properly with their children.

After hearing what I said, my uncle didn't scold me; he just kept watching me. Seeing this, my other uncle scolded me, saying, "Young Master Chen, how can you speak to your elders like that? You should leave now and avoid contact with Xin'er in the future, so she won't be influenced by you."

I nodded and said... My last words were: "I think you can take what I just said as nonsense, but there's one thing I'm sure of: no one wants to leave their warm family to live alone outside. Uncle, I think you really should try to understand Sister Xinhui better. Well then, I

'll take my leave." I walked out, and after my uncle saw me leave, I said to him, "Brother, it was my fault. I shouldn't have let him in."

My uncle didn't answer, but just muttered to himself, "Was I really wrong?" ...

As soon as Xiaoyao saw me return, she immediately asked, "Awen, where did you go? Why did it take you so long to come back? Look, the food is almost cold."

I said, "Nothing, I just met an elder and we talked a bit."

Xiaoyao asked in confusion, "An elder! Who was it?"

I shook my head, not wanting to say anything more, and said, "Okay, don't say anything more, let's eat first."

Seeing this, Xiaoyao wasn't interested in asking any more questions, so she sat down with me and started eating.

After a while, my uncle suddenly came over. As soon as I saw him, I stood up to greet him and said, "Uncle, what brings you here?"

My uncle said apologetically, "Little Chen, I'm sorry about earlier. I didn't mean to scold you, but I had to do that in front of my older brother."

I nodded and said, "I know, is it all because of Uncle and Sister Xin Hui?"

My uncle said, "Yes, but after what you said, my older brother seems to have realized something. I think he might take the initiative to go to Xin Hui, so I really appreciate what you said earlier."

I immediately said modestly, "No, it's nothing, I was just expressing my own thoughts."

My uncle looked at Xiao Yao and Qiao Xin and then asked me, "Who are those two?"

I said, "They're my friends."

My uncle said, "Oh."

Then he said to Xiao Yao and Qiao Xin, "Order more food, don't be shy."

Xiao Yao just nodded when she saw my uncle talking to them like that, but didn't respond.

I panicked and immediately said to my uncle, "Uncle, why are you saying this?"

Seeing my expression, my uncle smiled and said, "Young Master Chen, it's alright. Anyway, I own this restaurant, so you can pay for your meal today."

I said incredulously, "Really? Uncle, how big is your business?"

Seeing my reaction, my uncle patted my shoulder and said, "Young man, work hard, and you'll definitely have a brighter future than me. Okay, you guys enjoy your meal, I'm leaving now."

...Before I even sat down, I saw Xiaoyao and Qiaoxin's puzzled expressions. Just as Xiaoyao was about to speak, I stretched out my hand and said, "Wait a minute, I know what you're going to ask. I'll tell you everything."

I then recounted the whole story of having dinner with Xinhui and Peiling yesterday.

However, Xiaoyao and Qiaoxin's expressions grew increasingly strange as I listened. After I finished, I noticed they seemed angry, so I asked, "What's wrong with you two? Why do you look so upset?"

Xiaoyao and Qiaoxin asked simultaneously, "Chen Wen, did you really tell them you don't have a girlfriend?"

I thought to myself, "So that's what they're angry about. Sigh!

I should have just not said so much." I could only say, "Actually, I was just brushing them off; I didn't really mean it."

Xiaoyao then asked, "What do you take us for?"

Seeing their reactions, I knew they were probably throwing a tantrum again, so I said softly, "Of course, we're girlfriends."

Xiaoyao pouted and said, "You really think that? I don't think so. Otherwise, why would you be so casually flirting with girls?"

"Seducing girls? Wait, wait, that's really unfair to me."

I immediately protested, "Xiao Yao, how can you say that? I've never seduced girls."

Qiao Xin said unhappily, "Otherwise, what do you think Xin Hui is asking you all these random questions for? Isn't she just trying to find out about you? And you even told them you didn't have a girlfriend."

Upon hearing this, I immediately shook my head and said, "Really? Sister Xin Hui doesn't seem like she would like me."

Xiao Yao said angrily again, "You're so stupid! She's asking for Pei Ling. Are you really unaware or just pretending?"

At this moment, I couldn't help but recall the general manager's words: "Actually, Pei Ling does have feelings for you, she just hasn't said it."

"Could what the general manager said be true?! That can't be!"

Seeing that I seemed to agree, Xiao Yao said even more bluntly, "Awen, you should know the answer yourself. I think you're just pretending not to know."

I hurriedly denied it, saying, "No, I didn't! I really don't know! Xiao Yao, please don't say anything more, okay?"

Seeing my reaction, Qiao Xin first said to Xiao Yao, "Xiao Yao, I think Awen really doesn't know. Please don't say anything more."

Then she turned to me and said, "Awen, I know you really don't know what they mean. Please don't think about it anymore."

After seeing my reaction, Xiao Yao knew that I really didn't know what they meant, so she didn't continue. She just said, "Awen, you should be careful with Pei Ling and Xin Hui in the future. Don't let them have any ideas."

At this moment, I didn't respond to Xiao Yao. I just kept thinking about whether Pei Ling really liked me.

Qiaoxin came over and pulled me up, saying, "Awen, let's go."

I looked at the two of them first, then composed myself and said, "Are you full? Why are you leaving so soon?"

Xiaoyao replied, "I'm full of anger, why would I eat?"

Then she turned and walked away. Seeing

Xiaoyao like this, I looked at Qiaoxin with a helpless expression. Qiaoxin, seeing my expression, laughed and said, "I'm not as petty as her."

All the way, I followed behind Xiaoyao, never daring to ask her anything. Seeing this, Qiaoxin also walked behind Xiaoyao with me. Qiaoxin first gestured towards me, then towards Xiaoyao. I knew she wanted me to go talk to Xiaoyao, so I immediately raised my hands and shook them from side to side. Qiaoxin looked puzzled, so I moved my hand to my throat and made a small cut along it. Qiaoxin chuckled softly when she saw this, then immediately pouted, probably afraid Xiaoyao would hear. Then Qiaoxin leaned closer and whispered in my ear, "She seems really angry." I gave her a bitter look and whispered back, "Sigh! I'm used to it, there's nothing I can do." Qiaoxin leaned against my left hand and said, "Why are you so jealous? I'm just like that." Seeing Qiaoxin's expression, I leaned closer and said, "Yeah, Qiaoxin, you're better." Hearing my praise, Qiaoxin's face lit up with joy. She snuggled against me and said sweetly, "Then, Awen, next time let's go out alone." Seeing Qiaoxin's expression, I realized that when she wanted to please someone, it was really hard to refuse. I was about to agree... Suddenly, Xiao Yao turned around, her expression serious, and said, "Chen Wen, do you dare to agree?" Qiao Xin said, "Xiao Yao, didn't we agree that everything would be based on ability? What's wrong? Why aren't you keeping your promise now?" I asked them both, puzzled, "What exactly happened?" Xiao Yao stamped her foot, came over and grabbed my right hand, saying, "Hey! Wen, just don't agree to her." I stopped and looked at them, saying unhappily, "If you don't explain things to me clearly, I won't agree to either of you and I'm going back." Xiao Yao and Qiao Xin looked at each other, as if considering whether to explain things to me. Finally, Qiao Xin seemed about to speak, but Xiao Yao stopped her, saying, "Qiao Xin, are you really going to tell me?" Qiao Xin looked at Xiao Yao, then at me, and finally sighed, still not speaking. I couldn't bear the thought of them keeping a secret from me, so I immediately turned around and walked in the opposite direction. ...Once I got home, I realized I was wrong. I shouldn't have taken that route; it cost me a lot more in transportation fees. Sigh! I don't know how I'm going to get through next week. But in the end, I still don't know what secret those two are hiding. I thought to myself, "I wonder how they'll react if I leave like this? Sigh! I shouldn't think about it too much." I lay down and fell asleep in a daze. ...I don't know how long I slept, but I kept feeling someone else beside me. I initially thought it was a dream, but it didn't seem like it. Could it be...? That's impossible, I haven't done anything bad lately. After a while, I finally couldn't resist opening my eyes and turning on the light to see who it was. It turned out to be Xiao Yao sleeping in my arms. No wonder I thought there was someone else there. I patted Xiaoyao's face and said, "Xiaoyao, Xiaoyao, wake up." Xiaoyao felt someone patting her face and heard me calling her, so she reluctantly opened her eyes and said, "Awen, what are you doing?" I pointed to myself and said, "What am I doing? It should be you doing what, why are you sleeping here?" Xiaoyao sat up first, yawned, and then said, "It's all for you." I asked, puzzled, "For me? How so?" Xiaoyao rubbed her eyes and said, "Just after you left, I broke up with Qiaoxin. I was going to go straight home, but I was afraid you would be angry, so I came to explain to you. But when I got here, I saw you lying in bed sleeping. I realized you weren't angry at all. I was tired too, so I lay down and slept with you."

I deliberately teased Xiao Yao, pretending to be very serious as I said, "How do you know I'm not angry? Let me tell you, I actually hate seeing you right now."

Seeing my expression, Xiao Yao laughed and said, "Awen, stop pretending! Seeing you like this, I know you weren't angry just now."

Hearing this, I knew I couldn't fool her anymore, so I said, "That's right, I'm not angry. How could I have the right to be angry with you, Miss Yao?"

Xiao Yao leaned into my arms, saying coquettishly, "Awen, don't be angry anymore. I know I went a little too far just now, but you shouldn't have kept so

many things from me." I said, "I only haven't told you about Yi Shan. I haven't kept many things from you, and there's nothing between Yi Shan and me."

Xiao Yao looked at me sideways and asked, "Really nothing? Have you forgotten that I went out with Lily before? Have you forgotten that Lily saw you and Yi Shan doing something intimate?"

"Lily! No way, she told everyone?"

I stubbornly insisted, "It was all for you. I just happened to see you with Brother Xiang that day, otherwise, why would I have..."

Seeing my still firm attitude, Xiao Yao pouted and said, "Of course I know. I didn't hold it against you afterward, but now? You don't even show any remorse and you treat me like this. Chen Wen, let me tell you, I've already put up with you."

Of course, I knew I was in the wrong, so I could only lower my voice and say, "Xiao Yao, I admit my tone was a little harsh just now, but it means I care about you."

Xiao Yao glanced at me, then snorted

and turned away.

At this point, I had no choice but to use my last resort. I moved closer and hugged Xiaoyao, but she kept struggling, saying, "Awen, stop it! If you keep bothering me, I'll get angry!"

"I think you'll get angry if I don't bother you,"

I said, kissing Xiaoyao to silence her before turning off the light.

... This time, after waking up, I checked the clock to make sure it was past nine, then realized I was very hungry. I remembered I hadn't eaten lunch, so I woke Xiaoyao up and said, "Xiaoyao, do you want to go home?" Xiaoyao

said impatiently, "Don't bother me."

I asked again, "Do you want to eat dinner? I'm going out to eat."

Xiaoyao turned away, annoyed, and said, "I don't want to eat,"

and went back to sleep.

I had no choice but to get up, get dressed, and go out for dinner alone.

...After I came out, I hadn't decided what to eat, so I just wandered around for a bit before finally deciding to eat at a small eatery near my house that I frequent.

"Welcome,"

a girl at the counter greeted me.

Looking at her, I saw she had short hair with a few golden streaks at the ends, looking like a typical delinquent. But as I looked closer, I realized she was quite pretty, with very clear eyes, and I knew she wasn't the typical street-smart girl I'd seen before.

However, I realized I hadn't seen this girl before. Although I didn't know the owner very well, I was a regular customer and had seen almost all the employees. Why was there a girl I didn't recognize?

The girl, seemingly unaware of my confusion, smiled and asked, "Sir, here's a menu. What would you like to eat?"

That's just how I am; I always want to say something to girls I don't know, and since I had a few questions, I asked her, "Have you changed owners? I haven't seen you before."

The girl replied, "No, I usually work on weekends, that's why you haven't seen me."

I nodded and said, "Oh, I see."

Just then, a man with long, flowing hair walked over and said, "Wen, what's been going on these past few days? We haven't seen you come here for late-night snacks."

I looked at the man; it was Mingzhang! Mingzhang was my neighbor and also my senior from university.

Speaking of Mingzhang, he was truly a benefactor of my university life. When I was a freshman, I moved here and didn't know anyone. Mingzhang showed his immense care for his juniors, teaching me how to choose professors and how to pass exams. So, I quickly became very close with Mingzhang.

As for this snack shop, it was only because Mingzhang was working here that I came here to eat.

I said, "It's all because of that summer study plan, which prevented me from having any time to enjoy the summer properly."

Mingzhang looked at me with sympathy and said, "Sigh! Wen, I'm not trying to criticize you, but I told you not to take the Pawnshop King course. Why were you so stubborn? Now look what happened."

I said helplessly, "Do you think I wanted to take it? If it weren't a required course, I would have dropped it long ago."

The girl saw my conversation with Mingzhang and asked him, "Mingzhang, who is he? He seems to know you well."

Mingzhang patted my shoulder and introduced me in a smug tone, saying, "Xiao Mo, you study at our school..." "Haven't you heard the name Chen Wen all this time?"

After listening to Mingzhang's words, the girl looked at me suspiciously and asked, "You're Chen Wen?"

I nudged Mingzhang in the stomach with my elbow and said, "Mingzhang, how many times have I told you not to talk about me like that?"

Then I turned to the girl named Xiao Mo and said, "Yes, I'm Chen Wen."

Xiao Mo looked a little disappointed and said, "So the Chen Wen that's been circulating in school is you."

I couldn't help but laugh when I heard her tone, because I had heard this disappointed tone countless times over the past year after learning that I was Chen Wen.

Mingzhang, afraid I was angry, said to Xiaomo, "Xiaomo, how could you say that?"

I said to Mingzhang, "It's okay, she's not the first one anyway. I remember when you found out about this, you reacted the same way. I was angry for a long time back then."

Mingzhang laughed, thinking of that time, and said, "Yeah, that was the first time I'd ever seen you angry since I've known you for so long."

I looked at Xiaomo again and asked Mingzhang, "You said she's from our school too?"

Mingzhang immediately pretended to be panicked and said, "Chen Wen, are you even targeting promising young talents?"

I said irritably, "Fine, Mingzhang, you're kidding."

Seeing my reaction, Mingzhang stopped . He was joking with me, pointing at Xiao Mo and saying, "Her name is Huang Yuping, we all call her Xiao Mo, she studies business administration."

I looked at Mingzhang with a puzzled expression, then at Xiao Mo. Mingzhang, seeing my look, asked, "Awen, what's wrong with you?"

After looking at Xiao Mo again, I said, still confused, "Nothing, I was just wondering why she's called Xiao Yao instead of Lao Yao (Old Demon)?"

Mingzhang immediately burst out laughing, and Xiao Mo blushed, explaining, "Senior Chen Wen, the 'Mo' in Xiao Mo means 'smallest,' not 'demon.'"

I still didn't understand Xiao Mo's explanation, looking at her and saying, "Smallest, um, no way, you have a pretty good figure!"

Mingzhang laughed even harder, and Xiaomo blushed, not bothering to explain further.

Finally, seeing my dazed expression, Mingzhang said, "Awen, she's the youngest in her family, so everyone calls her 'Momei,' while her friends call her 'Xiaomo.' Do you understand now?"

I suddenly realized and said, "No wonder! I was wondering why anyone would call her Xiaomo."

Seeing us still laughing at her, Xiaomo changed the subject, saying, "Senior Chen Wenxue, you've been standing here for so long, what do you want to eat?" I nodded and

said, "Wait a minute."

Then I pulled Mingzhang aside and said, "Mingzhang, I'm short on cash this week, so this meal is on you, I'll pay you back next time."

But Mingzhang said, "Awen, you want me to treat?" "He insisted I treat him, saying he wanted it again next time."

I said shyly, "Yeah, so, are you going to treat me or not?"

Mingzhang patted my shoulder and said, "Since you've always been nice to me, this meal is on me."

I immediately went over to Xiaomo and said, "Give me a bowl of noodles, a bowl of rice, two side dishes, and a bottle of soda."

Xiaomo wrote it down while asking, "Is this all?"

I looked at the menu and said, "Let me check again."

Mingzhang immediately ran over and said anxiously, "What do you mean 'let me check again'? Xiaomo, this is fine."

Then he said to me, "Awen, are you trying to eat up my entire month's salary?"

... While I was eating, since there weren't many customers, Mingzhang sat down with me. He watched me eat while also taking food he had paid for without any hesitation.

I asked Mingzhang, "Why are you working so late today? You usually leave around 8 PM."

Mingzhang looked at the counter, and finding the boss wasn't there, he said helplessly, "It's all because of what the boss said. He said that because of summer vacation, there are fewer students, so they're hiring fewer staff, and we older employees have to work later."

I pointed to Xiao Mo and asked, "Didn't you say you were hiring fewer people? Why did you hire a new employee?"

Mingzhang laughed and said, "Who said she's an employee? She's the boss's brother-in-law's brother's cousin's nephew! Ah! Anyway, I don't know anything about her, but she's related to the boss, so when she has classes, she stays at the boss's house, and when she's on vacation, she comes here to help out."

I nodded and said, "Oh, so have you gotten her?"

Mingzhang shook his head, smiling wryly, and said, "Every time I try to ask her out, the boss's wife ..." "They'll just come and cause trouble, and in the end, all of us employees will give up."

I looked at Xiao Mo again and realized she had some good looks, so I said to Ming Zhang, "Isn't that a pity? We can only look at each other every day."

Ming Zhang shrugged, indicating there was nothing he could do, and then said, "But I recently discovered a nice girl."

I figured that anyone Ming Zhang found nice must have certain qualities, so I asked him, "Who is it?"

Seeing my interest, Ming Zhang continued, "It's that 'Queen of Controversy,' Jiang Shumei."

When I heard it was Jiang Shumei, I agreed, saying, "Indeed, she's really good-looking, but do you have any way to get close to her?"

Ming Zhang smiled wryly and shook his head, saying, "You know we're just talking, if we really wanted to pursue her, there's really no way."

At that moment, I remembered that Jiang Shumei was sitting right next to me. I said to Mingzhang, "By the way, I remember Jiang Shumei was sitting next to me when we were assigning seats at the tutoring center, so maybe..." Seeing my sly smile, Mingzhang immediately warned me, "Awen, how dare you think like that? I'll tell Xiaoyao!"

"Oh right, Xiaoyao is still sleeping at my house."

Thinking of this, I quickly ate something and said to Mingzhang, "Mingzhang, I have something to do, I'll go now. Thank you for today."

I grabbed my things and headed for the door. Xiaomo saw me leaving and called out, "Senior Chen Wen, you haven't paid yet?"

I pointed at Mingzhang and said, "It's all on him today, you can get it from him later."

Mingzhang saw me pointing at him and waved back.

Xiao Mo then said, "Oh, is that so? Will you come again, senior?"

Hearing Xiao Mo ask this, I looked at her and asked, "What's wrong? Is something the matter?"

Xiao Mo first looked at Ming Zhang, noticing that he was packing his things, and then whispered to me, "I want to hear about you and Senior Xiao Yao."

I also whispered, "Didn't you already hear it at school? Why do you still need to ask me?"

Xiao Mo looked at Ming Zhang again before saying, "I want to hear your own version. The versions I heard at school are all different, and I don't know which one is correct."

I said, "Oh, do you want me to tell you?"

Xiao Mo nodded.

I thought about it for a moment and said, "Of course, but..." Xiao Mo knew I was willing to agree and pressed, "But how about it?"

I smiled and said, "Of course, that meal is on you."

Xiao Mo smiled and said, "No problem, I'll be waiting for you."

... On my way home, I thought about what happened to Xiao Mo. This kind of thing has happened to me too many times this year. Anyone who doesn't know me seems to feel disappointed once they find out I'm Chen Wen. Sigh! Sometimes I think to myself, "Am I really not suitable to be Chen Wen?"

I remember one experience was the funniest. I was out with Ming Zhang, and we ran into some girls from our school on the street. Ming Zhang said he wanted to use my name to chat them up. How could I say no? After I went over and introduced myself, those girls actually said to me, "Do you know how many scoundrels like you try to impersonate Chen Wen? Aren't you tired of it? We're tired of it."

Then all those girls left. Not one of them believed I was Chen Wen.

After I told Xiaoyao about it, she almost died laughing. She even said, "Next time we go out together, they might scold me for impersonating Xiaoyao too."

Thinking of this, I realized I had a wry smile on my face. I composed myself and hurried home. ...

Before I even reached my door, I saw Qiaoxin waiting for me. I called out, "Qiaoxin, what are you doing here?"

Qiaoxin had been staring at my door, as if expecting someone to come out. Now, hearing me call her, she turned around, her face lighting up with excitement. She said, "Awen, you're not home?"

I nodded and said, "Yeah, I just went to dinner."

Hearing my answer, Qiaoxin stomped her foot and said unhappily, "No wonder I waited so long."

Seeing Qiaoxin's reaction, I smiled and said, "Qiaoxin, what are you waiting for me for?"

Qiaoxin looked at me expectantly and asked first, "Has Xiaoyao come looking for you?"

I couldn't bear to lie to Qiaoxin any longer, so I nodded.

Qiaoxin lowered her head and said, "So she came first."

I asked Qiaoxin in confusion, "What happened?"

Qiaoxin shook her head and said in a strange voice, "Awen, don't ask me anymore. I won't tell you. I can only tell you that I might leave here."

I remembered what Qiaoxin had said before, and asked her, "Didn't you say you were going to Hong Kong with Alan? These past few days I've only seen you alone, and I haven't seen Alan with you. I'm wondering about it, but I've been too embarrassed to ask you."

Qiaoxin then looked up at me, her eyes red and swollen, and said, "I'm sorry, Chen Wen, what do you take me for?"

Seeing Qiaoxin's red and swollen eyes, I realized that she had been crying, which explained her voice.

I placed my hands on Qiaoxin's shoulders, comforting her, "Of course I consider you my beloved Qiaoxin."

Qiaoxin pulled her hands away, saying, "No, I knew all along you were lying to me. You never considered me your girlfriend."

I couldn't understand why Qiaoxin was so angry, and softly said, "Qiaoxin, how could you think that?"

Seeing that I showed no remorse, Qiaoxin angrily said, "Chen Wen, I ask you, the day before yesterday, when you came to my house, didn't you even dare to go in to see me? And when you heard I was going to Hong Kong with Alen, you didn't react at all. Actually, I knew then that you didn't care about me at all. I kept lying to myself, saying you liked me. Chen Wen, I'm telling you, now my dream is over, my heart is broken, and I will never think of you again."

Hearing Qiaoxin's heartfelt words, I was surprised: "Do I really not care about Qiaoxin?"

"Do I really not have feelings for Qiaoxin?"

Qiaoxin, seeing I had no rebuttal, became even more angry and walked away, ignoring me.

... As soon as I entered the room, I saw Xiaoyao sitting awake on the bed. Seeing my dejected state, she asked, "Qiaoxin, she's gone?"

I didn't answer, just nodded. Xiaoyao

came to my side and said gently, "Awen, don't be like this. It breaks my heart to see you like this."

I took a deep breath and exhaled, saying, "Xiaoyao, I think this is for the best. From now on, I can focus on loving only you, and you won't have to be suspicious anymore."

Hearing my words, Xiaoyao knew I was just suppressing my grief and wanted to comfort me, but I raised my hand to stop her, saying, "Xiaoyao, I want to be alone for a while. Can you go back first?"

Xiaoyao was still worried about me and said, "Awen, do you really want to be alone?" "Are you sure you don't need me to stay with you?"

I shook my head, refusing her. "Xiao Yao, no need. I think I'll feel better if I just think about it alone."

Xiao Yao didn't insist on staying, but said affectionately, "Then, A-Wen, don't be so sad. I'm here with you."

Hearing Xiao Yao's words, I calmed down a bit and said, "It's because you're here with me that I can stay calm. Otherwise, I really don't know what would have happened to me."

Hearing me say that, Xiao Yao knew I was still clear-headed, and said, "I'll go back now."

Then she walked away alone. ...

After Xiao Yao left, I lay on the bed alone, thinking about everything about Qiao Xin.

I thought about the scene when she was drowning and I went down to save her; then I thought about when I met A-Jie and competed with him for Qiao Xin; and finally, I remembered her farewell words the day before she left, which echoed in my ears one by one.

There was joy and sorrow in it all, but it accompanied me through the summer vacation.

I recalled the unpleasant feeling I had when I saw Qiaoxin walking with Alen after returning to China; it lingered. I had been forced to ask Alen to pursue Qiaoxin because I knew I couldn't leave Xiaoyao, which led me to make that painful decision.

Thinking about this, I felt like a heavy stone was pressing on my chest, making it hard to breathe. I immediately stood up, took a deep breath, and made a decision: I had to explain things to Qiaoxin.

I immediately got up and went to Qiaoxin's house alone.

(Part Two, Midsummer Encounter, Chapter 13)

Upon arriving at Qiaoxin's house, I immediately noticed Xiaoyao and Qiaoxin talking at the door. I stood in a secluded spot nearby, wanting to eavesdrop on their conversation.

...Qiaoxin took Xiaoyao's hand and said in a concerned tone, "Xiaoyao, from today onwards, I'm completely entrusting Awen to you. You have to treat him well, okay? Otherwise, if Awen is still like this when I come back, I'll still try to take him from you again."

Xiaoyao said gratefully, "Qiaoxin, I'm so sorry for making you suffer today. I'm so sorry that you ended up like this just to let Awen say goodbye to you properly." Qiaoxin

just shook her head and said, "Xiaoyao, it's not your fault. Actually, I've always known that Awen only likes you. As for me, it's just a normal friendship. It's just that I can't let go."

"A normal friendship."

Hearing this, I couldn't help but ask myself, was my feeling for Qiaoxin really just that of a normal friend? Then why did I feel so sad when I heard she was leaving?

Xiao Yao asked, "If that's the case, then why did you come to me that day and ask me to cooperate in this play, to make A-Wen never forget you?"

"Oh my god, so they were just plotting to fool me that day? And what about today?"

Thinking about everything that happened today and realizing it was all Xiao Yao and Qiao Xin's plan... I couldn't help but feel deceived.

Hearing Xiao Yao's question, Qiao Xin smiled bitterly and asked, "Xiao Yao, you've never been heartbroken, have you?"

Xiao Yao shook her head.

Qiaoxin, as if knowing Xiaoyao's answer, immediately said, "I know that a pampered girl like you has never experienced heartbreak, so you could never understand the feelings of someone who has been dumped. This time, I need you to cooperate in this charade because of some compensation. I know I'll never have him, but I want him to never forget me."

Xiaoyao then asked doubtfully, "Do you really think Awen will remember you forever after doing this?"

Qiaoxin said helplessly, "I don't know, but it's the only thing I can do." Xiaoyao said sympathetically

to Qiaoxin, "Qiaoxin, actually, all of this is my fault. I really feel sorry for you."

Qiaoxin, however, was unmoved and said, "I don't need my opponent to apologize to me, nor do I need her sympathy. I know I lost this time, and I lost completely, but I don't know if she can..." "Will he keep winning until the very end?"

Xiao Yao asked Qiao Xin. "Qiao Xin, what do you mean by that?"

Qiao Xin analyzed, "Xiao Yao, I can assure you, there's definitely more than just me around A Wen. I think there must be some other people you don't know about."

Xiao Yao thought for a moment, then asked doubtfully, "I don't know? Besides Yi Shan, Li Li, and you, are there others?"

Qiao Xin just shook her head and said, "I don't know either, but I clearly feel that there are definitely more than just these."

Xiao Yao said a little angrily, "I don't believe he would dare to randomly find girls for me."

Qiao Xin looked at Xiao Yao's attitude and remembered that she had thought the same way before, so she advised Xiao Yao, "Xiao Yao, nothing is absolute. When I left, I didn't expect you to appear, but now? The facts are right in front of us."

Hearing Qiaoxin's analysis, Xiaoyao's confidence began to waver.

Qiaoxin guessed that Xiaoyao probably felt the same way and continued, "Actually, I know that Awen usually doesn't actively pursue girls because he lacks self-confidence. However, he treats every girl the same way, always so friendly. Plus, he's so charming, so girls often like him, and he finds it hard to refuse them. So you should be careful."

Xiaoyao seemed to agree with Qiaoxin, nodding and saying, "Sigh! What can I do? I've fallen for him. I guess I'll just have to let things develop naturally."

Qiaoxin disagreed, retorting, "Xiaoyao, although we can't control the outcome, we can strive for the process. As long as you don't give up, I think Awen will ultimately choose you. That's what happened to me."

Hearing Qiaoxin bring her up again at the end, Xiaoyao knew that Qiaoxin still harbored a lot of resentment towards her.

So Xiaoyao was too embarrassed to say anything more and said to Qiaoxin, "Qiaoxin, I'll go back now."

Qiaoxin nodded, watching her first rival in love leave. Only when Xiaoyao was completely out of sight did she call out, "Chen Wen, you can come out now."

Hearing Qiaoxin call me, I was very surprised. So she already knew I was here? Then why did she say those things to Xiaoyao?

... At that moment, I was completely confused, not knowing what Qiaoxin was thinking.

When Qiaoxin saw me come out, she treated me like a stranger, keeping a distance. Only then did I truly realize how much I had hurt her.

Qiaoxin then said, "Chen Wen, you heard what she just said, right?"

I nodded.

Qiaoxin continued, "I originally wanted to keep all of this completely closed in my heart, not wanting to tell you, but you saw it all."

I sighed and said, "Qiaoxin, why are you doing this?"

Qiaoxin looked at me coldly and said, "Chen Wen, at this point, you don't need to use sweet words on me anymore. I just want to know one thing: what are you doing here?"

Looking at Qiaoxin, I knew she had a deep misunderstanding about me, so I clarified first, "Qiaoxin, don't worry, I came here not because of Xiaoyao, but because I have something I want to clarify with you."

Qiaoxin didn't react much, only saying, "Okay, what is it?"

Seeing Qiaoxin's reaction, I became even more determined to tell her what was on my mind, so I turned Qiaoxin's body around so she was facing me.

Qiaoxin looked very frightened when she saw my reaction.

I said, "Qiaoxin, you need to listen carefully to everything I say. I'm here just to tell you that I've never forgotten everything we said last summer, and I haven't forgotten how I was jealous of A-Jie because of you. Who knew we'd end up like this?"

Qiaoxin coldly replied, "Isn't this all your fault? If you really liked me and cared about me, you wouldn't have had a relationship with Xiaoyao."

I nodded and said, "Yes, I admit it. I know I hurt you too much. I came here not because I want you back, because I know I can't give you happiness. I just want you to know that you're not just a friend to me."

Qiaoxin didn't react as I expected. She just said, "Chen Wen, are you done? If you're done, you can leave."

I knew it was pointless to say anything more, but I still said, "Qiaoxin, take care."

Then I lowered my head, turned, and left.

After I left, Qiaoxin's eyes filled with tears. She sobbed, "Awen, do you know? Loving someone isn't about possessing them, it's about making them happy. So please forgive me."

... When I got home, I was incredibly heartbroken. I lay on the bed, completely lost, not wanting to think about anything or do anything. I just wanted to get through this.

But after a while, I couldn't help but think about Qiaoxin again. I silently asked myself if everything had been going too well lately, making me only demand things from Qiaoxin, only caring that she do as I pleased, without ever considering her feelings.

Then I thought about pushing her to Alen. Why did I have such a foolish thought back then? Why couldn't I have known her feelings?

Do people only learn to cherish things when they lose them?

... "Ah, it's dawn."

I watched the sunlight slowly stream in through the window.

I couldn't sleep all night because of Qiaoxin. Sigh! I only realized now that I still really like Qiaoxin, but... sigh!

I shook my head vigorously, slapped my face a few times, stood up, took a deep breath, and thought to myself, "Okay, whatever, it's all in the past. Today is a new day."

I straightened my clothes and prepared to pick up Xiaoyao and take her to the company.

Seeing my bloodshot eyes, Xiao Yao asked with concern, "Awen, did you not sleep all night?"

Knowing I couldn't hide it from Xiao Yao, I nodded and said, "Yes, I thought about Qiaoxin all night."

Xiao Yao said, "I should have stayed with you yesterday."

Seeing Xiao Yao's worried expression, I said, touched, "Xiao Yao, I thought about it for a long time yesterday, and I finally realized that people only cherish things after they've lost them. But I've already lost someone important in my life once, and I don't want to lose you too."

Hearing my words, Xiao Yao looked at me affectionately and said, "Awen, don't worry, I will always be by your side, no matter what happens."

When Pei-ling saw me arrive at the company, she seemed very happy and said, "Chen Wen, thanks to you, we were able to deliver the results smoothly today."

Seeing Pei-ling's expression, I smiled and said, "Pei-ling, don't say that. We're in the same team, of course we should help each other. By the way, should I go and talk to Xiao-mei about the operation this time?"

Pei-ling immediately refused, saying, "No, you don't need to go this time. Just have someone else go."

I was puzzled and said, "Is that so? But I think no one is more familiar with the program than me, right? If possible, I think it would be better if I went."

Pei-ling shook her head and said, "No need, Chen Wen, you have other work to do this time."

I asked, "What kind of work is it? I don't know if I can do it?"

Pei-ling smiled and said, "With your eloquence, that job should be easy for you."

I asked, puzzled, "What kind of work is it?"

Pei-ling said, "It's not finalized yet. I'll tell you after the meeting."

I nodded.

At this moment, Xin Hui also came over and said, "Chen Wen, take a look at these documents first, they might be helpful to you."

I looked at the documents in Xin Hui's hand and realized that they were all introductions about XX company.

Seeing my puzzled look, Xin Hui said, "Chen Wen, don't ask anything now, just finish reading these documents first, and I'll talk to you after our meeting."

...And so, Pei-ling and Hsin-hui went to the meeting, leaving me alone in the office looking at those documents.

I wasn't really keen on looking at them, but since I had nothing else to do, I picked them up and started reading.

It turned out this wasn't a typical company introduction document, but rather an introduction document for internal staff.

Intrigued, I read on more carefully. The document began: "XX Company was founded by the three brothers Huang Guoxin, Huang Guozhong, and Huang Guodong. When the company was first established, its capital was only three million, but now its capital exceeds 15 billion."

"No way, 15 billion? How amazing! They managed to turn three million into 15 billion,"

I thought to myself.

"When the company was first established, it was a purchasing agent service, helping customers buy foreign goods and earning commissions."

"In recent years, Huang Guoxin saw the rise of the internet and started with online shopping websites, earning commissions as usual. Initially, they only accepted orders from the US, but with the internet's popularity, they now sell worldwide." "

Huang Guozhong, recognizing the essential nature of food and beverages and believing that the business can survive regardless of economic conditions, started setting up restaurant chains in various locations three years ago. It's estimated that there are now over a hundred chain stores worldwide, with daily revenue exceeding several million US dollars."

"As for Huang Guodong, three years ago, seeing the potential of his company's website, he started an online advertising business. Sure enough, with the launch of XX company's global website, countless companies wanted to advertise on it."

After reading these introductions, I was very surprised by these people's methods and skills in making money. However, I was also very puzzled as to how Xin Hui and the others could provide such detailed explanations.

I didn't think about it any further. After looking at the other documents, I waited for Xinhui and Peiling to return. ...

When Peiling and Xinhui came back, I could tell from their expressions that the meeting hadn't gone well for them.

I immediately asked, "Peiling, how did the meeting go? Why do you both look so upset?"

Xinhui shook her head and said, "Chen Wen, don't ask. There are some things you're better off not knowing."

I said, "Oh."

Then I continued, "I've finished looking at all the documents. Now?"

Xinhui said, "Chen Wen, that plan might have to be postponed. Don't worry about it."

Hearing this, I knew something must have happened during the meeting, so I didn't ask any more questions.

Xin Hui said to Pei Ling, "Peiling, if Manager Huang continues to mess things up like this, he'll ruin the company."

Pei Ling agreed with Xin Hui, saying, "I've already spoken to the general manager, but since Manager Huang holds 40% of the company's shares, he has the right to decide some things."

Xin Hui said, "That's true, but if things continue like this, all our hard work will be for nothing." Pei

Ling said helplessly, "Sigh! We'll just have to see things work themselves out."

Seeing their conversation, I couldn't get a word in edgewise, so I just quietly played online. ...

Around noon, Xiu Xuan actually came to ask me to have lunch. I was quite overjoyed, but of course, I went with her since it was a beautiful woman's invitation.

Upon arriving at the restaurant, as usual, we became the center of attention for the entire company. However, Xiuxuan seemed unconcerned and casually asked me, "I heard you helped A-Ling and the others finish their work on Saturday so they could hand in their reports today?"

I asked Xiuxuan in surprise, "How did you know?"

Xiuxuan smiled mysteriously and said, "Someone told me, of course."

I didn't press further and said, "By the way, Xiaomei, did you go to the meeting with Peiling and the others just now?"

Xiuxuan nodded and said, "Yes, how did it go?"

I said, "Nothing much, but when Peiling and the others went back, they all looked unhappy, and I didn't know what to do."

Xiuxuan said with a serious expression, "Actually, it was all Manager Huang's doing."

I asked, puzzled, "What exactly happened?" "What's going on?"

Xiuxuan said, "Manager Huang somehow found out that Xinhui is the daughter of the general manager of XX company, which the company is trying so hard to negotiate with. So he wants Xinhui to help the company secure advertising rights. Of course, Xinhui is unwilling, but Manager Huang said that if XX company can't advertise and sell the products, the company's turnover will drop, and if necessary, he might not even launch the product, putting Xinhui and her team in a dilemma."

I said angrily, "Doesn't Manager Huang know that there are no fathers and sons in business? Even if Sister Xinhui goes, she might not succeed, and now Sister Xinhui and her father don't get along, making it even more difficult."

Xiuxuan said helplessly, "Actually, Manager Huang knows all this, but in order to force the general manager to step down, he's willing to sacrifice the company..." "It's in the General Manager 's interest."

I said, "Can't the General Manager punish him?"

Xiuxuan said, "Although the General Manager is now in charge of the entire company, his own shares are less than Manager Huang's, so there are still many things that are restricted."

I smiled bitterly and said, "It's true that even a clever cook can't cook without rice."

Xiuxuan smiled bitterly and said, "I think the General Manager's situation is very dangerous this time, unless there is some turning point."

I asked in confusion, "Turning point? What do you mean?"

Xiuxuan looked at me and said, "Actually, I think you should be the General Manager's turning point. From the moment you arrived, you solved Peiling's problem, and now it seems that you might be able to help the General Manager."

I immediately shook my head and said, "Impossible. Peiling's problems were only solved because I studied that in school, and the company..." "This business isn't my area of expertise; I don't understand it at all. How could I possibly help the general manager?"

Xiuxuan, however, didn't think so. She laughed and said, "That's not necessarily true. Maybe you'll accidentally help the general manager."

I said, "Let nature take its course. I don't know how things will develop." Xiuxuan asked,

"By the way, Wen, why weren't you home on Sunday? I even went out of my way to look for you."

I asked Xiuxuan, puzzled, "What did you want to see me for?

" Xiuxuan laughed and said, "Can't I look for you if there's nothing wrong? Can't I catch up with my classmates?

" I said suspiciously, "Is that really true?"

Xiuxuan was speechless under my questioning and quickly pressed me, "Where did you go on Sunday?"

I then confessed to her about Xiaoyao and Qiaoxin.

After listening, Xiuxuan said, "Awen, I think you're wrong. Qiaoxin's attitude back then might have been an act."

I asked, confused, "What do you mean?"

Xiuxuan said, "If it were me, I would have done the same."

I felt like laughing and said, "What are you women thinking? I really don't understand."

Xiuxuan said, "Actually, after Guozheng left, I truly realized that loving someone isn't about possessing them, but about wanting them to be happy. I think Qiaoxin probably thought the same way. She did that so you could focus on loving Xiaoyao."

I couldn't help but think back to Qiaoxin's attitude, wondering, "Is that really true?"

Seeing my puzzled expression, Xiuxuan knew I didn't believe her and said, "Awen, time will tell. You'll know someday."

I nodded, muttering, "Maybe."

Then I thought about the financial problems I'd encountered yesterday because of our outing, and quietly asked Xiuxuan, "Xiaomei, I have something I want to discuss with you."

Hearing me ask so quietly, Xiuxuan became interested and asked, "What is it?"

A little embarrassed, I said, "Could you lend me some money?"

Hearing that I wanted to borrow money, Xiuxuan frowned and said, "Lend me money!"

I nodded and said, "Yesterday I went out with Xiaoyao and the others, and everything was on my plate, so now I'm almost broke."

Hearing this, Xiuxuan laughed and said, "Awen, you really are a real spendthrift."

I smiled bitterly and said, "Do you think I wanted to? I didn't even want to go out yesterday." "Well, in the end, I was reluctantly dragged along by those two, and they even wanted me to pay for it when we got there. I don't even want to talk about it."

Xiuxuan said with feigned concern, "Doesn't Xiaoyao have any consideration for you? She knows you probably don't have much money, yet she still pressures you like this."

Hearing Xiuxuan finally say something like that, I added, "Yeah, sometimes I really find her annoying."

Xiuxuan smiled and said, "Lending you money is no problem, but will you pay it back?"

I patted my chest and said, "I guarantee it with my integrity."

Xiuxuan shook her head and said, "I don't really trust your integrity."

I spread my hands and said, "Otherwise, what would it take for you to believe me?"

Xiuxuan laughed and said, "I need you to guarantee it with your salary."

I asked doubtfully, "Salary? Do I get a salary here?"

Seeing me ask her like that, Xiuxuan laughed and said, "Don't you know that interns like you get paid?"

I shook my head.

Xiuxuan said, "Our company's benefits are pretty good. I think an intern should earn a little over ten thousand a month!"

Hearing this, my eyes lit up immediately, and I said, "Then I don't need to borrow from you anymore. I think I can make it to the end of the month."

Xiuxuan said, "But I still want to borrow from you."

I said, "That's fine too, I can pay you back later anyway."

But Xiuxuan said, "I don't want you to pay me back. I want you to always remember that you owe me money, so you'll never forget me."

Hearing this, I was stunned. Seeing that I couldn't speak, Xiuxuan laughed and said, "Awen, you're really easy to fool." At this moment, because of Qiaoxin's matter, I was a little scared and said

, "Okay, okay, I won't say anymore, I have to go back now."
