Lost in thought, I quickly pulled up outside the Caiyun Building.

Zhou You got out of the car first and waved to Yun Daidai, who was about to get out, indicating that she didn't need to get out.

"I can handle the rest myself. You should go back and rest."

"You don't want me to be too tired? You care about me?" Yun Daidai couldn't help but have a strange feeling when she heard Zhou You's words.

But clearly, it's just an illusion.

"It's just some finishing touches; I can handle it all by myself in no time," Zhou You replied, estimating his work efficiency.

Ultimately, it's just a matter of going up to a few departments and exchanging a few words, a quick and easy thing. Yun Daidai coming along isn't to get in the way, it's just unnecessary.

"Is that so?" Upon hearing this, Yun Daidai hesitated for a moment before nodding gently.

Soon Zhou You entered the Caiyun Building. After watching him walk away, Yun Daidai told the driver to drive away. She did not return to her current residence, but instead asked the driver to stop the car after seeing a bookstore.

She got out of the car, walked into the bookstore, and, facing the dazzling array of books, squeezed the stack of documents in her hand.

I wandered around the bookstore a few times with a clear purpose.

Snapped!

Yun Daidai placed a stack of books on the counter. "How much are these books?"

"Let me see." The young lady at the counter glanced at the strikingly beautiful Yun Daidai a couple more times, then picked up the barcode scanner and started scanning.

"It's 121 yuan in total. If you top up 200 yuan to get a membership card, you can get a 10% discount. Miss, would you like to consider it?"

"No need for a card, thank you." Yun Daidai thanked her politely, took out her phone and had the cashier scan her Alipay account, then left the bookstore with the stack of books in her arms.

Afterwards, she returned to her home, opened the door, went inside, and took off her black high heels.

She put the book aside, then plopped down on a small stool near the entrance, took off her black stockings, and rubbed her aching ankles.

I rubbed my feet for a while.

"It's time to start working harder."

Yun Daidai muttered to herself, stood up, put on her slippers, placed the stack of documents that she had previously found daunting on top of the pile of books, picked them up, and quickly walked into her bedroom.

She sat down at her desk, turned on the lamp and computer, and took out paper and pen.

She carefully read the first report, and when she encountered something she didn't understand, she would look it up in a book or search for related terms on Baidu. If she still didn't understand, she even humbled herself and asked Sun Qing and some cadres in the Yun Group.

…………

The next day, early in the morning.

The sun had just peeked out, and golden rays streamed through the window and onto the desk in the bedroom.

The girl lay face down on the desk, her eyes tightly closed, occasionally twitching the hand that was still holding the pen in her sleep.

Ding-a-ling~~ Ding-a-ling~~

An alarm clock nearby went off.

Yun Daidai opened her eyes and instinctively leaned back, spreading her arms wide, causing the white papers on the desk to scatter everywhere as she did so.

The wooden chair tilted up, and she still had lingering sleepiness on her face, but due to a feeling of weightlessness, she began to swing her arms as if paddling, though of course it was all in vain.

crackling sounds~~

Yun Daidai and her chair crashed heavily to the ground.

"Sigh~~"

After a while, she stood up from the ground, rubbing her bottom, her eyebrows furrowed tightly in pain.

She glanced at the time and realized it was already nine in the morning. Startled, she rushed out of the bedroom. Halfway there, she seemed to remember something, hurriedly ran back to pick up the white paper from the floor, hugged it to her chest, and then ran out of the room again.

Yun Daidai hurriedly washed up, got dressed, and applied a little powder to her face. For someone as naturally beautiful as her, that was enough to make her look presentable.

It didn't take her long to get ready. She made sure her appearance was fine and that the plans she had spent the whole night writing were neatly packed in her bag.

I left home and rushed to Caiyun Building.

On the first floor of Caiyun Building, a boy was standing there waiting for someone, just like yesterday.

Yun Daidai saw him from afar and hurriedly ran towards him. Because she was in such a hurry, she didn't notice the company employees walking by.

Bang.

"Ouch!" *2

Two exclamations rang out almost simultaneously. Yun Daidai was unharmed, but her bag was unfortunately knocked away, scattering the documents inside all over the floor.

"Are you alright?" The female employee who had been bumped by Yun Daidai rubbed her forehead and took the initiative to ask about Yun Daidai.

"I'm fine." Yun Daidai shook her head, then hurriedly squatted down and picked up the documents scattered nearby.

She was holding her bag, bending down to pick up the documents. When she got to the last few, a boy's hand picked them up from the ground before she could.

"Manager Zhou." Yun Daidai looked at the few papers in Zhou You's hand, hesitating to speak.

Zhou You held the few sheets of paper and stood not far from the entrance of the Caiyun Building, carefully examining the neat handwriting on them.

"I didn't expect that you, Manager Yun, had also summarized and analyzed those reports from yesterday."

He quickly glanced through it, a gentle smile appearing on his face. "We can hand it all over to the chairman later as a reference, so that we're less likely to run into problems."

"...Will it be of any use?" Yun Daidai murmured softly.

A feeling I'd never experienced before welled up inside me. My efforts had been recognized, and I felt that all the previous hard work was worthwhile.

She even felt a little happy and excited.

"Manager Yun, what are you trying to say?" Zhou You hadn't heard what Yun Daidai had just said.

"It's nothing." Yun Daidai shook her head vigorously and lowered it.

Why did she never think of doing something so simple before?

With just a simple word, he would have been as happy as I am now.

He and she would never have ended up like this.

Instead of doing anything, she kept giving him negative feedback in the places where she should have been giving him positive feedback.

Therefore, it's only natural that he dislikes me.

It's only natural.

It was all her own fault.

As Yun Daidai thought about it, she couldn't help but purse her lips and lower her head even further.

"Manager Yun, you don't seem to be in a good mood today." Zhou You said hesitantly. It's normal to care about a colleague, but Yun Daidai is his ex-girlfriend.

No wonder it's so hard for couples to remain friends after breaking up.

Because even a simple expression of concern or greeting seems to be imbued with some special meaning.

Some words may sound gentle to strangers or ordinary friends, but if you say them to your ex-girlfriend... some people might think you have ulterior motives.

"I just suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in my stomach." Yun Daidai took a light breath, barely managing to regain her composure, and replied to the boy in front of her with a polite smile.

"I need to use the restroom, could you please wait a moment?"

"Of course," Zhou You replied without much thought.

After saying goodbye to Zhou You, Yun Daidai went to the restroom, and the polite smile on her face vanished instantly.

She slipped into a cubicle, sat on the toilet seat, bent her legs, rested her face on her knees, and stared blankly at the floor, her expression not one of sorrow but rather one of bewilderment.

As she became increasingly aware of the mistakes she had made, she felt more and more that she was no longer worthy of being near him.

"Why not stay far away from him...why not never go near him again...but...but..."

Yun Daidai didn't know how long she had been muttering these meaningless words before she finally came to her senses.

She muttered to herself, "But I also have to cooperate with his work, so if I really stay far away from him, won't he feel troubled?"

"..."

"..."

Yun Daidai silently stood up, came out of the bathroom stall, stood in front of the sink, and washed her face with water.

She put on a polite smile again, gently smoothed out the wrinkles in her clothes, and walked back quickly.

She quickly arrived behind the boy.

"Sorry to keep you waiting," she greeted the boy calmly.

"It's nothing, everyone has to go to the bathroom sometimes," Zhou You nodded in response.

He paused, then called to Yun Daidai, "Let's go, let's try to visit as many places as possible today."

"Mm." Yun Daidai nodded and followed him out with a serious expression.

The two walked together like ordinary colleagues, and another busy day began.

P.S.: I've paid back quite a bit, but including Emperor Yan, I now owe 34 chapters.

287. I'll crash? How could that be?!

Zhou You and Yun Daidai were busy traveling around Hangzhou until nightfall.

Under the same night sky, in different locations, Hong Kong.

He once fought alongside Chen Tangtang's father, Chen Jinhui, the late husband of Li Muyun, and even changed his surname to Chen to be included in the Chen family genealogy. Now he is someone who can get whatever he wants in Hong Kong.

An elderly man with graying temples, who was Chen Jinhui's former subordinate, sat at his desk and picked up a piece of paper with a message from his son on it.

'Father, I've gone to Hangzhou. I will prove to Miss that I am better than Zhou You and more suitable for her.'

Li Muyun's long-awaited departure from Hong Kong naturally piqued the curiosity of those forces affiliated with the Chen or Li families, prompting them to investigate.

So, naturally, some things were discovered.

Chen Tangtang has found someone she likes and wants to have his child.

Upon hearing this news, Hong Kong was secretly shaken. Chen Tangtang was the future heir of the Chen family, and countless people coveted her. Now, she had been snatched away by a man from who-knows-where.

Many young talents were naturally very dissatisfied.
