Professor Xie, isn't this a case of forcing customers to buy products that don't match the

Inside the door, Xu Zhao had already embraced Shen Yan, who was sobbing uncontrollably.

After hearing all this, Xu Zhao felt an urge to kill Zhou Xu'an.

But no, if he kills Zhou Xu'an, he'll go to jail.

He can't go to jail. He still has his grandparents and parents to take care of, and he wants to be with Shen Yan for the rest of his life, raising her to be healthy, happy, and chubby, to make that Zhou guy furious.

It's infuriating, but it's not illegal.

"Don't cry, don't be afraid." He patted Shen Yan's back. "It's all in the past. We're going to H City. You go to work hard from now on, and I'll take care of Auntie during the day and bring you meals. In the evenings, I'll set up a stall."

"As for the one surnamed Zhou, if he comes again..."

"...What if he comes again?" Shen Yan asked, crying.

"I'll fight him and we'll both end up in jail." Xu Zhao kissed Shen Yan's forehead and said deliberately, "When we're sitting at the same table and getting scolded by the police, remember to bail me out and make him furious."

"You don't need to worry about him smashing my stall. If he does, just make him pay for it. The police aren't indifferent, right? Maybe I'll even make more money."

Shen Yan burst out laughing at his shameless words, laughing and crying at the same time.

Xu Zhao saw him smile, and then faintly heard Shang Song groaning and pounding his legs outside the door. Suddenly, she leaned close to Shen Yan's ear and said, "Besides, Shang Song still has a powerful backer. He ate so many of my favors during his four years of university. If things really come to that, it's not unreasonable to make him repay the favor, is it?"

Shen Yan nudged him and said, "Don't ruin Shang Song's life."

Xu Zhao disagreed: "How did it harm him? Shang Song has been worshipping the Bodhisattva for so long, what's wrong with making a wish to the Bodhisattva?"

"If this Bodhisattva doesn't even help his followers' good friends, wouldn't that also help some idiots see the true face of the Bodhisattva? What are you worried about?"

The silly dog ​​pressed its ear even closer to the door from the outside, but inside, Xu Zhao and Shen Yan entered into a whispering mode, and Shang Song listened for a long time without hearing a single word.

Shang Song limped back to the sofa, gulped down the cooled tea, and after a while, seeing no movement from the master bedroom, he put down his cup, pretending to be impatient, and shouted, "Hey! What are you two doing! I've finished my tea!"

The master bedroom door burst open, and Xu Zhao came out first, rolling her eyes at Shang Song: "Didn't you pour yourself out after drinking all that?! Don't you have legs? Or were you used to being waited on hand and foot by Professor Xie?"

As he spoke, he went to pour tea for Shang Song.

When Shen Yan came out, her eyes were still red and her lips were a little swollen, clearly indicating that she had been kissed hard and cried.

Shang Song glanced at him, inwardly exclaiming how bold Xu Zhao was, and quickly lowered his head to avoid the question, pretending to play on his phone. "Um, how did your talk go?"

Xu Zhao placed the teacup lightly in front of Shang Song, then sat down with Shen Yan in his arms. He even pulled Shen Yan into his embrace right in front of Shang Song. "It's settled. We'll go to H City. I'll set up a stall and take care of Auntie, while he goes to work."

"Oh, that's good." Shang Song tapped her phone, pretending to be engrossed in scrolling through her WeChat Moments, and chimed in, "H City is great. After all, it's a city in the south, so it's definitely warmer than S City, which is better for Auntie's health..."

Suddenly, he stopped talking, his fingertip hovered over a post on WeChat Moments, and his eyes lit up.

It was a post on Chen Yu's WeChat Moments, an early-year recruitment notice from Qingguo's South China branch.

The location of Qingguo's South China branch is in H City.

Shang Song clicked on it and, sure enough, found Shen Yan's job posting.

Senior Engine Engineer.

He hurriedly held up his phone to show Shen Yan: "Shen Yan! Look at this! A position at Qingguo's South China branch! Located in H City!"

Shen Yan kept his head down and refused to speak, probably because he felt a little embarrassed that he had suddenly become close to Xu Zhao in front of Shang Song.

He only looked up after hearing Shang Song's words, his gaze fixed on Shang Song's phone.

He looked at it for two seconds, and his eyes lit up.

Qingguo's salaries and benefits are top-notch in the industry. Moreover, Qingguo is a large company. For example, during the last leak of the Xingyu project, Qingguo was able to quickly find the mole.

This proves that Qingguo is not a place where Zhou Xu'an can easily interfere.

"Shang Song, could you send me the link?" Shen Yan's voice was low and hoarse.

Shang Song immediately forwarded the link, then thought for a moment and opened the chat box with Chen Yu.

His chat window with Chen Yu hadn't seen any messages from several months ago.

"I have arrived."

"Is she asleep?"

"Well... goodnight. See you tomorrow."

Since Xie Jing transferred Chen Yu to the South China branch, perhaps because both sides felt awkward, they tacitly stopped speaking to each other.

It seems they both implicitly agreed that the interrupted kiss never happened, and that their meals and movies together were just normal colleague interactions.

Shang Song's fingertip lingered in the chat box for a moment before he finally typed and sent the message:

"Chen Yu, Happy New Year. I saw the job posting you shared. I have a friend who's very interested in one of the engineering positions; he's quite capable. Would it be alright if I gave him your contact information?"

Chen Yu replied to the message very quickly.

"Sure. Send me your resume and basic information."

Also, Shang Song, Happy New Year.

Shang Song replied with a Happy New Year, and then quickly forwarded Chen Yu's contact information to Shen Yan.

Shen Yan quickly added Chen Yu, and after a brief conversation, Chen Yu forwarded Shen Yan the contact information for the HR of Qingguo's branch office.

While Shen Yan was communicating with the HR on the other end, Chen Yu's message popped up again.

"Shang Song, I'm currently in S City. Want to grab a late-night snack?"

Shang Song stared at the message, stunned.

Go? It's so late, and if Chen Yu and Xie Jing find out, they'll be unhappy.

Not going? But Chen Yu just helped Shen Yan...

He was staring blankly at his phone, unsure how to reply, when Xu Zhao leaned closer. "Chen Yu? That UI lead? He hasn't given up on you yet?"

Shang Song instantly exploded: "Xu Lao Er, what nonsense are you spouting?!"

"What nonsense am I talking about?" Xu Zhao raised an eyebrow, pointing at his phone. "Asking you to dinner in the middle of the night, what else could it be but still having feelings for you?"

"..." Shang Song gritted his teeth: "If it weren't for you two, would I have bothered looking for him?"

Xu Zhao clicked his tongue, clearly pleased with the term "young couple," and hugged Shen Yan again. "Ah, yes, yes, it's for us young couples. Shang Xiaosong, your brotherly love is earth-shattering, I, Xu Zhao, will remember it forever."

Shang Song: "...Get lost."

Xu Zhao glanced at Shang Song's clearly embarrassed expression, then at his fragrant wife in his arms, and kindly asked, "Are you reluctant to go but feel embarrassed?"

Shang Song nodded.

"I have an idea for you. Just tell him that if you and Shen Yan want to have a late-night snack while you're staying with me, you have to bring us along. Wouldn't that solve the problem? That way, you won't be alone together anymore, and your Professor Xie won't have anything to say, right?"

Shang Song slapped his thigh and exclaimed, "Great idea!"

He immediately lowered his head and typed: "Okay! But I'm with Xu Zhao and Shen Yan right now, and they want to thank you for your help in person. Would you mind if we went together?"

The message was sent, and all three people, six eyes, were fixed on Shang Song's phone screen.

Chen Yu replied quickly: "I don't mind. What would you like to eat? How about congee hot pot? I remember you said you really liked it before."

Xu Zhao exclaimed, "Holy crap! This kid definitely still has feelings for you!"
