Shi Yan did not take Tang Su to his office, but instead took her to the conference room next door.

In the past few years, Tang Su often came to visit and was very familiar with the company. He took her to this meeting room, deliberately showing his stance towards her, treating her with the same hospitality as a client, avoiding any personal matters.

Tang Su had matured a lot. She stood by the door of the conference room and smiled.

“Shi Yan, is it really necessary Didn't you say before that we could still be friends after breaking up”

"Come in."

Shi Yan didn't answer her question. He pushed open the conference room door and gestured for her to enter. He was always polite and composed, and most of the time, people couldn't tell what he was truly feeling.

After Tang Su sat down, she continued, "I thought that after so long apart, at least we would say hello."

Shi Yan smiled politely and didn't respond to her words, asking, "What can I do for you"

"Can't I find you if nothing is wrong"

Shi Yan's smile faded, and he said seriously, "Tang Su, we don't need to do this. If you have something to say, just say it. As I said, I'll help as much as I can. This is what I owe you."

Tang Su was the Marketing Director of a pharmaceutical company and doing very well. Strictly speaking, her company was Shi Yan's client, so there was no need for him to help. But she just wanted an excuse to see him.

The reason is simple, he's found someone new.

Tang Su said frankly, "You've been single for the past two years. I thought we still had a chance. After all, I'm your longest girlfriend, aren't I"

Shi Yan frowned, his voice also slightly colder: "You should understand my character. Once we break up, it's over."

Tang Su was indeed the woman he had dated for the longest time, and she was also the only girlfriend before Lin Zhixuan that he had taken to meet friends and her parents.

"So, now, are you serious about that girl Are you two aiming for marriage Are you truly..."

"Yes," Shi Yan interrupted her, answering with unwavering certainty.

Tang Su was stunned: "Why If you want to get married, why not me"

She didn't understand, she couldn't grasp it.

Shi Yan only said: "We broke up a long time ago, I'm sorry."

Seeing that she wasn't talking about serious business, he got up after speaking and stormed out of the meeting room.

He dislikes getting entangled with his ex-girlfriend and is even less willing to drag things out.

When in love, he gives his all; when out of love, he leaves completely. This is his principle.

A relationship's end, men are far crueler than women. They can turn away and let go immediately. Only women will remember fondly, recall every detail, and harbor fantasies.

Tang Su was unwilling to accept this. She chased after Shi Yan from the meeting room: "Shi Yan, you'll never be able to repay what you owe me."

The echo of the statement lingered in the hallway outside the meeting room, Shi Yan walking back to his office without looking back.

The door to the conference room on the other side of the hallway suddenly opened. On such a beautiful weekend, the entire marketing department was actually holding a meeting inside. As she stuck her head out and they saw it was Tang Su, some employees who knew her made way for her, while others who didn't make way as well.

only hushed whispers: "She's Tang Su, the elder sister of Secretary Tang"

Shi Yan worked overtime until the evening, and Lin Zhi's message arrived.

“Teacher Shi, I'm staying with Shushu tonight. I'm sorry to make you stay alone.”

Shi Yan's heart was a little gloomy, but when he saw this message, it suddenly brightened, and the gloom vanished.

"Is it convenient I'd like to video chat with you."

He had just sent a message when Lin Zhixiao's video request came through instantly.

"Does Teacher Shi miss me" She smiled brightly, probably video-calling with her friends, her voice low.

Shi Yan nodded, he did miss her.

Although she was younger than him by quite a bit, she didn't get stuck in petty details when looking at problems. Sometimes, she even saw things more clearly than he did. Shi Yan suddenly realized that, to some extent, he had become somewhat reliant on her.

Incredible, yet so obvious.

Lin Zhizhuo covered the microphone and whispered, "I can't come back today. Tinglan's mother isn't feeling well, so I need to stay here with her."

She put it simply, actually, Tinglan's mom had a bit of a meltdown just now and is only just calming down. Luckily she's here today, otherwise Tinglan would have been on her own.

"Shall we go to the hospital I can drive you there."

"I feel much better after taking the medicine, and I don't need to go to the hospital for now. Teacher Shi, I won't talk to you anymore. See you at the company tomorrow."

See you tomorrow.

Lin Zhiyao hung up the video and turned to see Tinglan holding her phone, watching her. Her eyes were hesitant.

"What are you looking at me for"

"You can see for yourself." Tinglan handed her the phone.

"What"

Lin Zhizhuo took the phone and glanced at it. It turned out to be a chat group from the company's marketing department. Ting Lan had been in their group before because she had helped the marketing department with an exhibition, but she rarely spoke.

A girl's voice came from her phone: Shi Yan, what you owe me will never be repaid.

It's a short video she just clicked on.

The group chat is full of marketing colleagues gossiping.

The new employee asked curiously:up a piece of paper, and hastily wiped her lips. On previous occasions, she had been somewhat flustered, paying attention only to her own feelings without truly focusing on him.But today, she kept ob...
