Chapter 101 - I Can’t Get Rid of Her

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Li Ruyan felt a wave of disdain in her heart. If Ji Jingchen weren’t someone she couldn’t afford to offend, she would have left him alone at her workplace long ago.

Looking at the current situation, she didn’t understand why she fell for such a man. Not only did it not conform to her values, but it also didn’t conform to her general perspectives.

‘Forget about it. I won’t argue further with this man. Isn’t he a sc*mbag?’ 

“Ahem. CEO Ji, you have unknowingly developed a psychological dependence on Miss Du, which led to this situation. As a professional psychiatrist, I suggest you keep some of your possessiveness to prevent your relationship with Miss Du from reaching an irreparable point.” Li Ruyan stood up straight. She coughed lightly and pretended to be very professional.

“Stop pretending. Are you trying to say I’m a sc*mbag?” Ji Jingchen raised his head to look at her and accurately caught a trace of disdain in her eyes.

Li Ruyan was speechless.

‘I did not! I was looking at it from a professional point of view.’ 

If Ji Jingchen didn’t start his company, he would be an excellent psychologist— not an ordinary one, but a psychologist with a doctorate! 

Ji Jingchen’s eyes narrowed slightly, and his deep voice seemed to be devoid of any emotion. “I don’t know since when it became so difficult to give up on her.”

When one could not give up and could not forget, this was the most torturous state in any relationship.

Li Ruyan sighed. She had never thought that Ji Jingchen would one day become such a hopeless romantic. Perhaps others didn’t know how Ji Jingchen fell in love with Du Jiuyuan, but Li Ruyan knew it clearly in her heart. She had used a few years to carve a deep brand in his heart.

Based on Ji Jingchen’s understanding, no matter where he was, there would always be people who missed him the moment he turned around. Du Jiuyuan had already become an indispensable light in his life.

Now that the light had been decisively extinguished, Ji Jingchen was naturally not used to it. Du Jiuyuan would never know what her love meant to Ji Jingchen.

…

When Du Jiuyuan arrived at the studio early the following day, Susu had already arrived. She had done all the preparations and even made Du Jiuyuan a cup of coffee. Du Jiuyuan saw that she had cleaned the studio spotless. She took the coffee and said, “Thank you. You don’t have to worry about the cleaning work in the future. There will be someone to clean it up.”

She did not hire Susu to work in the studio as a handyman. Susu smiled sweetly. “These are all trivial matters that are easy to complete. If I arrive early, I can do them all by myself. Besides, this way, I can save the money to hire a cleaner!”

Du Jiuyuan smiled and said, “Then I’ll give you the cleaner’s salary.”

Susu was afraid that she would misunderstand. “Sister Jiuyuan, I’m not doing this because I want a raise in my salary.”

“I know, but I can’t let you do the work of two people for free!”

Susu smiled. “Sister Jiu Yuan, I’m pleased here. You’re very kind to me too.”

Du Jiuyuan didn’t say anything.

Susu thought of something and ran out to get a document. “Sister Jiuyuan, I’ve received news that BLACK is coming to Hong Kong City. They’re looking for a partner.”

Du Jiuyuan took the document and flipped through it. “How did you know about this?”

“We have an assistant group. If there’s any news, we’ll share it.”

She has a weak and good personality, so everyone likes her. If there were any news, they would tell her.

Du Jiuyuan looked up at her, “You didn’t get much rest after receiving so much information, did you? I’ll give you half a day off in the afternoon. Go back and rest.”

“There’s no need, Sister Jiuyuan.”

“This is an order,” Du Jiuyuan said seriously.

Susu couldn’t refuse anymore. “Sister Jiuyuan, I’ll be leaving first then.”

Just as she left, Ye Mubai knocked on the door and entered. “Good morning, Director Du.”

“Good morning, Xiao Bai.” Du Jiuyuan handed him the document after greeting him. 

“What do you think?”

“Have you decided to work with BLACK?”

“I want to give it a try. There might be some hope if I give it a try.”

“According to what I found out, BLACK doesn’t cater to the older generation. Instead, the brand dominates the market for the younger population. Based on our current situation, we don’t stand a chance.” 

“What you mean is…” Du Jiuyuan wanted to say something but hesitated.

“Yuan Hua Studio is a startup. Who would you choose if you were given a choice between a large corporation and a startup?” Ye Mubai pointed out a crucial thing.

However, Yuan Hua Studio needed a large amount of registered capital to register as a larger company. It seemed that if she wanted to work with BLACK, she needed to solve the funding problem first. Seeing that she was frowning, Ye Mubai asked, “Are you worried about the funding problem?”

“Leave this matter to me. You guys can focus on your work.”

“If there’s any trouble, let me know. I’ll see if I can help..”
