As night fell, he stared out the window. It was already late. He looked at the clock and saw that it was twelve o'clock.
At this moment, he realized that something was wrong. There were only three pairs of shoes there.
"Won't your boyfriend be jealous if I stay late?”Tang Hao asked casually, but he soon noticed Zhang Yuchen's gloomy expression.
Then, he realized what had happened. He knew that a smart person like Zhang Yuchen would not borrow money. There was only one possibility. That man abandoned her after Zhang Yuchen lost her job. That debt was probably borrowed from those criminals in Zhang Yuchen's name.
This also explained why she was helpless in this dilapidated apartment.
"Your man is trash." Tang Hao stood up for her.
"He's not my man." Zhang Yuchen replied in the same emotionless tone.
"Why don't you go home?" Her cold tone shocked Tang Hao. So, in order to avoid awkwardness, he changed the topic.
"I don't want to bring trouble home," The determination on her face touched Tang Hao.
It seemed that this powerful woman who had once been his boss did have her own strengths. Tang Hao had once fantasized that a certain higher-up in the company had taken a fancy to her beauty, but he thought he was overthinking it. To be able to open chain stores all over the country, the manager of the company must not be an ordinary person who relied on his lower body to think.
"To be honest, I quite admire you.”Tang Hao said sincerely to Zhang Yuchen.
"Really?" Her tone was full of self-mockery.
For some reason, Tang Hao saw a hint of malevolence in her eyes the moment she spoke. Maybe it wasn't like that. Maybe it was exhaustion.
As a woman, she still remained strong after experiencing all the ups and downs.
Tang Hao did not know how to comfort her. He was not good at comforting women. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been single for 20 years.
Silence ensued again.
"Do you want to hear my story?"
Tang Hao nodded.
She told him everything that had happened after she fired Tang Hao. The store was facing sales problems, and the headquarters were questioning her ability. From a pile of anonymous complaints to a dismissal notice, she felt complicated when she left this place. Losing her job, cheating, and gang harassment, she had no other choice. In the end, she decided to escape from her apartment and hide here.
What pushed her from sadness to despair was the proud voices of her parents on the other end of the phone. However, she could not express her sadness to them. She could only go against her will and say that she was fine and everything was fine. Her parents were too old to accept such a thing.
Tang Hao felt the same sadness when he lost his job.
She was not looking for sympathy. She just wanted to talk to someone because she was too tired. However, this person had only appeared now.
"You are very strong. If there's anything I can help with, please call me anytime.
"Thank you, but I don't need sympathy.”Zhang Yuchen rubbed her teary eyes and said with a smile.
Smiling?
Her?
Tang Hao was stunned.
"Is there something on my face?" Zhang Yuchen felt shy when Tang Hao's gaze locked onto her.
"No, I'm not. But this is the first time I've seen you smile. He nodded blankly. He knew that if he looked in the mirror now, the expression on his face would be very stupid.
" Haha!" Zhang Yuchen burst into laughter. She was also stunned because she realized that she was smiling. Not only was she smiling, she was smiling happily.
"Hmm, is it that funny?" Tang Hao pretended to cough and rubbed his head awkwardly.
"Since I told you my story, can you tell me yours?”She rubbed her eyes. Her soft expression made her face as beautiful as snow.
She had such a cute face. Why was she so cold every day? Tang Hao muttered to himself.
"Me? There was nothing much to say. He made some money from his business. Tang Hao made up a lie.
Zhang Yuchen frowned slightly and looked at Tang Hao with dissatisfaction. She didn't even realize that such a feminine expression had appeared on her face.
"I don't believe it.
"Alright, I can't help it if you don't believe me.”He opened his palm. Some secrets must be kept hidden forever.
"However, I believe that you will become an excellent manager. Are you interested?
This was Tang Hao's other plan.
He started a company and made Zhang Yuchen work for him.
Relying on gold was not a long-term strategy. One day, people would question his source of income.
If the government noticed him, he would have to live on the other side of the world. The best way was to start a company. He had even thought of this name. It would be called " Future Technology "!
His plan was to collect all the " garbage " from the end of the world and launch groundbreaking innovative products.
iPhone, Google, and Samsung would all be names of the past. Could they be as innovative as the technology 200 years later? Even the computer screen was made of holographic technology. If they produced a product that only existed in science fiction, all the consumers in the world would go crazy.
Then there were household appliances, cars, military technology, and even space exploration technology! The possibilities were endless.
The reason why he chose Zhang Yuchen was simple. He couldn't find anyone else. He believed in her ability. Although they had conflicts in the past, after so many things, Jiang Chen realized that he didn't hold a grudge as much as he thought. Perhaps this had something to do with her good nature. Or perhaps, it was because of her similar experience with him that he developed a feeling of sympathy for her.
