Chapter 1226 Let yourself go
"Brother-in-law, I heard everything you just said!" Huizi said tearfully.

"No, this younger brother and sister-in-law, it's not that serious, it's not that serious!" Lin Hao suppressed a laugh and feigned embarrassment as he said:
"I'm lending you a bit too much money, but if you don't think it's appropriate, then forget it, I won't lend it to you anymore, just pretend I didn't say anything!"

It turns out that Hui Zi was deeply moved by Lin Hao's actions in helping Jian Ai:

"No, brother-in-law, you've touched me so much. Why don't you just leave the money and use it as my uncle's tuition so he can learn from you!"

Hearing this, Zhou Yiming stared wide-eyed at Huizi, speechless at the outspoken girl.

Lin Hao, overjoyed, said, "Sister-in-law, no, no, I mean sister-in-law, thank you, thank you so much!"

"Great! Don't worry, I'll send you the photos right away!" Lin Hao said excitedly.

"I want the original image!" Huizi wiped away her tears, then said with a smile.

"Original image, definitely original image, I'll even send you the video!" Lin Hao then said to Zhou Yiming arrogantly.
"Zhou Yiming, transfer it right away, I'm leaving now, remember to transfer the money quickly!" With that, Lin Hao quickly left Zhou Yiming's house.

However, upon reaching his doorstep, Lin Hao turned back and took out an invitation, saying:

"I'm having a housewarming party on Friday, remember to come and celebrate!"

"Okay, I'll definitely be there!" After Lin Hao left, Zhou Yiming said speechlessly, "Are you stupid?!"

"You're the idiot!" Hui Zi said, glaring at Zhou Yiming.
"I got your photos and videos back for you, and you still call me stupid? You're the stupid one!"

"Uh~, that's true!" Zhou Yiming said with a smile.

Actually, even if he hadn't asked Lin Hao for it, Lin Hao wouldn't have actually exposed his photos. However, he was still very touched that Hui Zi was able to protect him!

······
The next day, Jia Kuan arrived at VG and began packing his things. Liu Yingxia had told him last night that he would receive a notification of the optimization results today, which was actually a layoff notice, so he definitely needed to prepare early.

"Brother Kuan, did you clock in for me?" the young man opposite Jia Kuan asked.

"What are you swiping for? Can't you see I'm packing my things?" Jia Kuan said irritably.

"Isn't this the usual rule?" the young man said in a low voice, "I've helped you a lot with your fights too!"

"No one will be your accomplice anymore!" Jia Kuan thought for a moment, then decided to play a trick on the young man. He went to the young man's side and whispered:
"I'm about to leave, so let me have a few heartfelt words with you, Brother Kuan!"

Then Jia Kuan said earnestly:
"You can't do that again. Think about it, you only have so much salary. You can't deduct it all every month. Your wife and children are counting on you!"

The young man sensed something was wrong, so he said awkwardly, "Brother Kuan, you go ahead and say it, I'm listening!"

Sure enough, Jia Kuan began to lecture him at length:
"I used to think that being an hour or two late every day was no big deal, but if you think about it, if every employee in the company was an hour or two late like us, how could we get any work done every day?"

"If you can't do anything, and it's like this every day, what's the point of working this year?"

"If this happens every year, our VG company will disappear from the face of the earth, and all our employees will lose their jobs. This is a crime!"

"Isn't that right? Isn't that the logic?"

Thinking that Jia Kuan had been "optimized" (reduced in performance evaluation), perhaps provoked, he braced himself and said:

"Brother Kuan is right. I will change and start a new life!"

Jia Kuan was overjoyed upon hearing this, and then showed a satisfied expression, saying with a look of "this kid is teachable," "Hey, by the way, be a good person, right!"

As Jia Kuan spoke, he organized the things he needed to hand over, only to find that it was an expense report from the marketing department.

This expense report looks suspicious. Normally, it would be fine, and if someone said a few nice words and I accepted the favor, the matter would be over.

But now that he's about to leave, he naturally wants to say things he wouldn't normally say and do things he wouldn't normally dare to do.

So, holding the expense report, I went to Xiao Zhang's workstation in the marketing department and found my male colleague who was watching videos online. I asked him, "What videos are you watching?"

The male colleague was startled and quickly switched the video feed. Upon realizing it was Jia Kuan, he said somewhat awkwardly:
"Oh, it's Brother Kuan! Please have a seat!"

Seeing that Jia Kuan did not speak, he made conversation by saying:
"By the way, our marketing department's expense report for this month is on your desk. Have you taken a look?"

"Ah, I see it, I see it!" Jia Kuan sat down calmly and said earnestly:
"Xiao Zhang, I came to see you to talk about this!"

After putting down the expense report, Jia Kuan said meaningfully:

"You guys have been really busy lately! Working overtime until so late every day, not getting home until the early hours of the morning!"

His colleague assumed that Jia Kuan would act the same way as before, saying a few nice words and letting the matter pass, so he blatantly lied, saying:
"Yes, our department has been extremely busy lately, working overtime every day!"

In fact, Jia Kuan had long been disgusted by some of the actions of their marketing department. For example, just now the other party was blatantly watching videos and spouting nonsense about being busy until midnight every day.

So Jia Kuan said in a sarcastic tone:
"That must have been tough. Your travel expenses must have been quite high, almost a hundred yuan. It must have been a long journey!"

"I remember it perfectly well. It was your girlfriend's birthday that day, and you went with her to the movie premiere. You don't remember that, but I do!"

Xiao Zhang said somewhat awkwardly:
"Brother Kuan, you're mistaken, you're really mistaken. Our department has been extremely busy lately, you know that!"

"Little Zhang!" Jia Kuan said in a tone of someone who had been through it all:
"Brother Kuan is about to leave us, so I have a few words to tell you!"

"Huh? Oh! You mean!" Xiao Zhang was a little confused.

"Brother Kuan understands you perfectly!" Jia Kuan said in a tone of deep empathy.

"Why is that? Kuan-ge used to like taking small advantages, but once he gets greedy, he easily develops desires!"

"Once desires arise, a lot of trouble ensues. And with so much trouble comes the risk of making mistakes, which is very dangerous!"

"You're so young, you have a long road ahead of you, you have to walk it carefully, you can't go astray!" Jia Kuan admonished earnestly.

"I understand, Brother Kuan!" What else could Xiao Zhang do but agree?

"I understand. You genuinely care about me, and I'll remember that!"

"Just remember that!" Jia Kuan said, getting up to leave, but before leaving, he didn't forget to remind him again:

"Remember, always walk the right path!"

"Thank you, Brother Kuan!" Xiao Zhang quickly said, his toes practically carving out a four-bedroom apartment on the 22nd floor.

To get Jia Kuan to leave quickly, Xiao Zhang hurriedly took back the expense report and said, "I'll send you this expense report after I've finished it!"

"Alright!" Jia Kuan said contentedly, "Then let's go!"

"Goodbye, Brother Kuan!" Xiao Zhang wished he could get rid of this plague as soon as possible.

"Goodbye!" Jia Kuan then left the marketing department looking refreshed.

On his way back to the office area, he saw Jiang Nan passing by and greeted her politely, "Assistant Jiang!"

"Brother Kuan!"

After exchanging greetings, Jia Kuan seemed to remember something, so he turned around and called out to Jiang Nan, "Assistant Jiang, I happen to have something to discuss with you!"

"Looking for me?" Jiang Nan was curious. What could Jia Kuan want with him? But he still said politely, "What is it? Please tell me!"

"Look, I'm about to leave!" Jia Kuan said sincerely.

"Xiao Hao is my brother, and I have a few words to tell you!"

"Yes, I'm all ears!"

At this time, Jiang Nan was unaware of the dangers of the martial world and thought that Jia Kuan really had something to discuss with her, so she waited for Jia Kuan to continue.

“Xiao Jiang, you’ve known Xiao Hao for many years, so you understand him quite well!” Jia Kuan said earnestly.

"Xiao Hao is an outstanding and capable person. Working for him will give you a bright future!"

"Yes!" Jiang Nan was a little confused at this moment, wondering what Jia Kuan was trying to say.

"You young people must not waste your time; you must study hard while you are young!"

"You must seize the opportunity, especially when you have a mentor to help you!" Jia Kuan said earnestly.

However, the more Jiang Nan listened, the more uneasy she felt. Jia Kuan's lecturing tone made her smile gradually fade.

Meanwhile, Jia Kuan continued his sermon: "Otherwise, when we get to our age, we'll only be eliminated, and there's also Xiao Hao~!"

However, Jiang Nan was getting a little impatient, but she roughly understood that Jia Kuan probably felt he was about to leave VG and was preparing to go crazy.

Fortunately, he didn't seem to have any ill intentions towards her, but his lecturing tone was still unpleasant, so she interrupted him directly:

"Brother Kuan, President Lin still has some things to tell me. Let's talk again next time!" Jiang Nan said and quickly left.

Watching Jiang Nan leave, Jia Kuan unconsciously recalled the day before yesterday when Jian Ai and Sun Weida had a conflict, and he noticed that something was off between Lin Hao and Jiang Nan.

However, when it came to Jian Ai, Jia Kuan got excited again and headed towards Jian Ai's office.

"Bring it to me later!" Jian Ai was on the phone when she saw Jia Kuan coming over, and then hung up the phone immediately.

"Brother Kuan, is there something you need from me?" Jian Ai asked after gesturing for Jia Kuan to sit down.

"I'll say one thing and then leave!" Jia Kuan said.

“Speak!” Jane said crisply.

"Me!"

"Your father?"

"What do you mean 'my dad'? Speak properly!" Jia Kuan pointed at himself and said irritably, "I'm talking about myself!"

"Sigh!" Jia Kuan sighed, and said sincerely, "I'm about to leave this world. Before I go, there's something you need to help me with!"

"It's about my wife's side. After I'm gone, please take good care of her!"

"My wife has had a tough time too. She's relied entirely on herself all these years to get to where she is today!"

"We can't go back any further. Of course, it's also my fault, and I can't help her much!"

Seeing Jia Kuan rambling on and on, Jian Ai said bluntly:
"There's really nothing you and your dad can do to help with this!"

Jane knew how to hit a nerve, but considering Jia Kuan's concern for Liu Yingxia, it was understandable, so Jane still said:
"Given the relationship between me and your wife, do you think I need you to remind me of this?"

"I'm relieved to hear that!" Jia Kuan breathed a huge sigh of relief, then began to let loose again:

"Oh right, and there's also Xiao Hao's place!"

"This Xiao Hao is a person with great ideals; he does big things!"

"As for me, I can't help either. Now that you say that, I'm just a useless piece of trash. If I don't leave, who will?"

Jia Kuan was so moved by his own words that he then shifted the topic to Lin Hao and Jian Ai:
“You’re different from me. You have the ability to help him, right?”

Even though you two are divorced now, we can all see that Xiao Hao has never given up on you.

"He spoils you too much. When you say you want a divorce, he listens to you and agrees to the divorce!"

"Then tell me, he hasn't cheated on you, he doesn't have any bad habits, he's good-looking, he's successful, he's just a bit busy with work. Maybe he doesn't take care of you as much as you need."

"But it was for you, for your family! How could he just get a divorce when everything was going so well? It's so hard to understand!"

Seeing Jia Kuan's words becoming increasingly outrageous, Jian Ai's face darkened, and she grew angrier with each word. So she said bluntly:
"You just don't understand. Do you all still think this divorce is my problem?"

"No, no, no!" Seeing Jian Ai's unfriendly tone, Jia Kuan quickly said, "I didn't mean that!"

Jane said coldly, "So you mean I'm being dramatic and pretentious, is that it?"

"No, no!" Jia Kuan was getting a little anxious. Why did he have to pick on Jian Ai for no reason? He was just reaping what he sowed.

So Jia Kuan quickly tried to smooth things over, saying, "I really didn't mean that. I just think it's a pity. What an enviable couple, how could they have divorced?"

Noticing Jian Ai's displeased expression, and realizing he had made a fool of himself by flattering her, Jia Kuan quickly said:
“Since you two are getting a divorce, we can’t offer any advice on your personal matters. Besides, even if we did, you wouldn’t listen!”

"Sigh, I hope you're all doing well!" Jia Kuan said with emotion. "I hope you can find a good home like Lin Hao did!"

Upon hearing this, Jian Ai's pupils contracted slightly, and then she stared at Jia Kuan, wanting to know more.

"I... well!" Realizing he'd let something slip, Jia Kuan quickly said, "I have something to do, I'll be going now!"

"Bye-bye!" Jia Kuan said, then quickly got up and made his escape.

After leaving Jian Ai's office, Jia Kuan let out a long sigh of relief, and then began to wander between the various office areas, lecturing everyone he met.

Soon after, Liu Yingxia came out and angrily shouted at Jia Kuan, who was lecturing someone:
"Jia Kuan, come to my office!"

Thinking of how he had just asked Jian Ai to help Liu Yingxia, Jia Kuan was overjoyed and prepared to take credit. So he said in a serious tone:

"Director Liu, you've come at the perfect time! I also need to talk to you about something!"

"Let's talk about it all at once!" Liu Yingxia said irritably.
