Chapter 47: Chapter 47 Trouble
There was a hint of sadness and nostalgia in Liu Mingyu's eyes as she shook her head and smiled, "I have a boyfriend, he joined the army, but there's been no news from him until now, he hasn't returned."
"Isn't it supposed to be a two-year term in the army? Did he extend his service?" Yang Chen asked in confusion.
"I don't know, his family also moved away..." Liu Mingyu smiled with a hint of exhaustion, "Maybe, as others say, he got assigned to some important position." Nêww chapters will be fully updated at novelhall.com
"But dragging it on like this isn't a solution. You're a woman, you should understand the importance of time." Yang Chen silently criticized that man, leaving such a woman and becoming a secret agent.
Liu Mingyu nodded, "What can I do? I always think of him, can't forget him. How could I accept another man?" She paused and then smiled again, "Okay, let's not talk about these things. It's almost time to get off work, let's go back to the office."
Yang Chen naturally had no objection. Since people said not to make a fuss about it, he could only comply.
Speaking of which, Yang Chen still had the check written by Guo Ziheng, to be handed over to his heartless and boring female boss.
When he walked into the office, a group of urban girls had already started grooming themselves to go home from the company, dressed up beautifully, ready to enjoy the vibrant nightlife.
Zhao Hongyan and Zhang Cai seemed quite calm, without bothering to touch up their makeup or change clothes. When they saw Yang Chen return, they smiled and greeted him.
"Was work smooth? Coming back so late," Zhao Hongyan asked.
Yang Chen nodded, curious, "Why don't you and Zhang Cai dress up like others, change clothes or touch up makeup?"
Zhao Hongyan sighed plaintively, "Can't you see? Zhang Cai and I are both married women now. We got married last year, so we don't need all that."
"So you're married?!" Yang Chen was genuinely surprised, realizing why the two young women had fuller figures compared to their colleagues.
Zhang Cai chuckled, "Yang Chen, you wouldn't really have any ideas about us, would you? We're both married, don't even think about it."
"Yang Chen..." Mo Qianni gritted her teeth, her face flushed red with embarrassment and anger. She slammed her palm on the desk, eyes almost shooting flames, "Just wait and see!"
After bidding farewell to the colleagues in the office, Yang Chen finally felt the joy of being a white-collar worker. This job might be a bit boring compared to selling lamb skewers, but the "environment" was indeed good. The scent of women in the air alone was incomparable to the stench of the market.
Arriving at the underground parking lot, Yang Chen had just settled into his car when his phone vibrated, displaying a call from Li Jingjing.
Yang Chen smiled as he answered the phone, "Hello."
"Brother Yang..." There was a hint of joy in Li Jingjing's tone, "Thank you."
"Thank you for what?" Yang Chen naturally wouldn't admit to taking down Chen Dehai's stronghold on his own initiative.
"It's about Chen Dehai's matter..." Li Jingjing's voice was somewhat hushed, and then she seemed to understand something and changed the subject, "Anyway, thank you. Both my parents and I are very grateful."
Listening to the girl's gentle voice, Yang Chen also breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that this girl was clever too. He smiled and said, "Is that so? That's good. Let your dad continue doing business. I'll chat with him tomorrow morning."
"Yeah, I got it."
"Is there anything else?" Yang Chen didn't mind chatting with Li Jingjing for a bit longer, but it was late and there might be traffic.
"Nothing... nothing else," Li Jingjing hesitated for a moment, "I just wanted to know when Brother Yang will come to school to see me."
Only then did Yang Chen remember his promise, feeling regretful for being careless. He quickly said, "I just started work this week, so I might be a bit busy, but I'll definitely come by within this week. Don't worry."
Li Jingjing happily agreed before hanging up the phone.
Yang Chen was about to start his car when his phone rang again, this time it was Wang Ma.
It was strange for Wang Ma to call him at this time. After all, he had promised to come home for dinner. Before he could say anything, he heard Wang Ma urgently shout from the other end of the phone, "Young Master! Come back quickly! Something has happened!"
