As night deepened, Wen Rou drove home after working overtime, while Liu Rui rode his motorcycle beside her. Wen Rou deliberately sped up, but Liu Rui always followed. Finally, the two stopped by the roadside. Liu Rui smiled and told Wen Rou that he was actually just passing by, which is why they "happened to meet." Wen Rou knew perfectly well that Liu Rui's home was not in this direction at all.
She stated unequivocally that the only relationship between her and Liu Rui could be that of a superior and a subordinate; nothing else was possible. After Wen Rou finished speaking, she turned to leave. Liu Rui reluctantly tried to keep her, asking, "When I accompanied you for your birthday a few days ago, we were clearly so happy. Why are you pushing me so far away now?"
Seeing that he wouldn't give up, Wen Rou took Liu Rui to a bar. She casually stated that every time she broke up with someone, she would come to this bar to drink her sorrows away. As she spoke, she opened a good bottle of wine. Wen Rou honestly told Liu Rui that she and her ex-boyfriend were colleagues, and their breakup was very unpleasant.
From then on, she wouldn't date colleagues anymore, let alone someone as young as Liu Rui. Wen Rou had lost confidence in her own relationships. She felt that every time she fell passionately in love, it always ended coldly and quietly. Liu Rui pointed out incisively that Wen Rou had never truly invested herself in a relationship because she was afraid of failure and making mistakes! Wen Rou didn't agree with Liu Rui's words.
She seemed to have already foreseen that if she dated Liu Rui, she would definitely not be happy. " So why insist?" Liu Rui was dumbfounded. " Wen Rou hasn't even tried, how can she know she won't be happy?" Wen Rou stubbornly held her ground, tilting her head back to drink a glass of wine. She still wanted to maintain an employer-employee relationship with Liu Rui.
Wen Rou stood up to leave, but Liu Rui pulled her into his arms and kissed her lips. The people in the bar started to cheer, and Wen Rou left, feeling both shy and annoyed. Zhu Linlu tried to win back clients, but it was to no avail. Wen Nuan came to find him and sincerely stated that she truly didn't know Qianyu was snatching Daizhong's clients; otherwise, she wouldn't have worked so hard to negotiate.
Zhu Linlu was very understanding, saying that's how business is, a constant competition. He hoped Wen Nuan wouldn't take it to heart. Seeing Zhu Linlu's relaxed demeanor, Wen Nuan also felt a sense of relief and offered to treat him to a meal. Zhu Linlu smiled slyly and joked that he was going to order some expensive dishes. Meanwhile, Zhan Nanxian was lost in thought at home, staring at a jigsaw puzzle.
The puzzle depicted a young boy and girl sitting back to back, bearing a strong resemblance to a young Zhan Nanxian and Wen Nuan. The next day, Wen Nuan unexpectedly submitted her resignation letter to Zhan Nanxian. Nanxian was surprised and also angry. He used Wen Nuan's failure to give advance notice as an excuse not to let her leave. Wen Nuan insisted on leaving. Zhan Nanxian's tone also became serious. " What does Wen Nuan think Qianyu is?
Come when you want, leave when you want. Not only are you entangled with Zhu Linlu, but you're also ambiguous with me. Now that you're tired of playing, do you just want to walk away?" Wen Nuan's tone was cold. " The outside world unanimously believes that Nanxian and Yi Xin are a couple. So what right do I have to be ambiguous with Zhan Nanxian?
Even if we take a step back, being ambiguous with anyone is my private matter." With that, Wen Nuan left without looking back. Zhan Nanxian was so angry that he threw away the resignation letter. Ding Xiaodai and Guan Ti ran into each other at a restaurant. Only then did Guan Ti learn that Wen Nuan was actually resigning! Xiaodai didn't want Wen Nuan to leave, so she asked Guan Ti to help plead for her.
At this moment, the mysterious man was still following Yi Xin. Her assistant was very worried and had no choice but to tell Yi Xin that he had already informed Zhan Nanxian about the matter. Yi Xin was very angry and quickly called Nanxian, telling him not to interfere. Zhan Nanxian was uneasy; after he finished work, he would go to visit Yi Xin. Zhan Nanxian played billiards distractedly with Gao Fang and Guan Ti.
The three of them talked about Wen Nuan's resignation. Guan Ti suggested that Nanxian explain things clearly, saying it was clearly Daizhong that was poaching people everywhere, which is why Qianyu quickly snatched clients. Gao Fang also said thankfully, "Thanks to Zhan Nanxian's early detection and grabbing some important clients, Qianyu and Daizhong were evenly matched, so they wouldn't fall behind." Wen Nuan returned home dispiritedly to paint, accidentally breaking a piece of porcelain. She stared blankly at the fragments.
They were like feelings; once shattered, they could never be fully restored. Wen Rou heard the commotion and went upstairs to check. Only then did she discover that Wen Nuan was secretly taking medication. Wen Rou was very surprised. Wen Nuan vaguely explained that she was only taking vitamins. The next day, after Wen Nuan left, Wen Rou quickly went upstairs to check. It turned out that Wen Nuan was not taking vitamins at all, but sleeping pills.
Zhu Linghong challenged Zhu Linlu at the meeting, questioning how he, as general manager, could allow Qianyu to repeatedly poach Daizhong's clients. He also sarcastically remarked that Zhu Linlu only took blows and should step aside. Zhu Linlu was neither anxious nor angry. He stated that he was more familiar with the company's business than Zhu Linghong and hoped that Zhu Linghong wouldn't be too arrogant before a winner was decided.
After the meeting, Zhu Linghong complained to his father, Zhu Yi, "Zhu Linlu's recent actions are too drastic; he's practically overhauling the R&D department!" Zhu Yi muttered to himself resentfully, "We absolutely cannot sit back and wait for death." Since Qianyu had not yet approved Wen Nuan's resignation, Wen Nuan temporarily continued to go to work. Gao Fang handed documents to Wen Nuan, but Wen Nuan kept declining.
Gao Fang felt helpless, knowing that Wen Nuan and Zhan Nanxian's issues ultimately had to be resolved by themselves; others couldn't interfere. Wen Rou worriedly told Zhu Linlu that Wen Nuan had been taking sleeping pills lately. Zhu Linlu had a headache about this. He came up with a plan, but it required Wen Rou's active cooperation. That evening, Zhu Linlu asked Wen Nuan to meet him and happily shared music with her, and took Wen Nuan running with him.
Wen Nuan returned home breathless from exercise. Wen Rou felt very relieved. " If my sister is tired from exercise, she'll sleep soundly until morning." Wen Rou also advised Wen Nuan that if she couldn't sleep, she should come talk to her. Wen Nuan couldn't help but laugh, "Sister, you're acting like an old person now." Wen Rou chattered on and on, then handed Wen Nuan a gym membership card.
