The staff cafeteria of the company looked really impressive—at the very least, it wasn’t much worse than the average three-star hotel. Xiao Yufan couldn’t help but sigh in admiration. Working at this company must truly be a fortunate experience…
In a quiet corner of the cafeteria, Yu Yihan sat with another equally beautiful woman, quietly finishing their meals. Xiao Yufan hadn’t expected the company’s CEO to also eat in the staff cafeteria.
He didn’t walk over but instead chose a seat with Lin Pingle, one that was relatively close to that corner. Within the company, Yu Yihan exuded an unmistakable air of cold arrogance, and he had no intention of provoking her.
“Our CEO is quite unique. Even though I flatter myself as someone who knows people well, I still can’t quite figure out exactly what kind of person she really is…” Lin Pingle murmured knowingly, glancing toward Yu Yihan’s direction and shaking his head helplessly.
Xiao Yufan simply smiled without responding. He couldn’t help but recall a sentence Yu Yihan had once said to him: “The Yu Yihan you see is shaped by my father, but the real her is the one with flesh, blood, and real emotions.”
“She must have quite a story behind her…” He sighed softly, feeling a sense of empathy. After all, wasn’t he also someone with his own share of stories?
Sometimes, fate is so elusive. Rather than calling it coincidence, it might better be described as a series of unintentional encounters.
Meeting the right person is indeed a blessing. If one insists on calling it fate, then perhaps the price paid is sincerity.
Despite all their past conflicts, Xiao Yufan truly believed there was a destined connection between him and Yu Yihan. Yet this connection had been silently acknowledged and quietly set aside. For both of them, the current situation was actually quite acceptable…
Mysticism doesn’t offer many explanations about fate, but there is one phrase that fits perfectly: Fate comes and goes, don’t force it. If you force it, it won’t stay; if you chase too hard, it won’t follow. Instead of talking about going with fate, it’s better to say go with your heart.
Even Xiao Yufan himself couldn’t understand why so many thoughts had surfaced—was it because of Yu Yihan? Or because of his own heart? He didn’t want to think about it, nor did he dare to…
The two sat quietly eating their meals. Lin Pingle sensed Xiao Yufan’s mood and wisely chose not to speak further. In his heart, however, Xiao Yufan had become even more mysterious.
…
“Hello, everybody…” As everyone in the cafeteria was enjoying their lunch, a deliberately exaggerated English greeting reached everyone’s ears, causing many to glance sideways.
The person who entered was a man dressed entirely in brand-name clothes, wearing black sunglasses that gave him a slightly rebellious air. Yet anyone could tell from his bearing that he was no ordinary person. Immediately, he made his way straight toward Yu Yihan’s corner.
“Emma, Emma… my dear cousin… you’ve become even more beautiful after just a few days…” The man approached with exaggerated steps, quickly reaching Yu Yihan’s side. Xiao Yufan quickly realized that “Emma” must be Yu Yihan’s English name.
“Cousin, you’re here…” Yu Yihan’s lips curved into a faint smile as she shrugged her shoulders slightly toward the newcomer.
“There’s something I need to tell you. Should I say it here in the staff cafeteria?”
“I’ve already finished eating. Why don’t you come to my office? Ms. Li, you come too…” Yu Yihan looked at her cousin, then at the beautiful woman beside her, before speaking.
Soon, the trio left the cafeteria, while many employees turned their gazes back to their meals. This person’s appearance was merely an interlude…
…
“Do you know who he is?” The supervisor suddenly appeared again, popping up beside Xiao Yufan’s seat without warning. Xiao Yufan had just taken a sip of water and immediately spat it out…
He shook his head helplessly. He had never heard Yu Yihan mention a cousin before. Judging from the situation, however, the relationship between Yu Yihan and her cousin seemed to be one of superficial harmony hiding inner discord.
“He’s the CEO’s cousin, Burgess. Every time he comes, he acts as if the company belongs to him. However, the CEO will never hand over the company to him!” The supervisor’s expression stiffened slightly, showing an unusual seriousness.
“No wonder they seem so distant despite their apparent closeness. It seems the company isn’t as peaceful on the inside as it appears on the surface!” Xiao Yufan couldn’t help but admire Yu Yihan. It must be extremely exhausting for a woman to manage an entire company by herself. No wonder her personality was somewhat peculiar.
