Soon, the meeting room entered the negotiation phase, and the proposal was proceeding smoothly and naturally…
Although Xiao Yufan wasn’t part of the company’s upper management, he actively participated in offering suggestions and analysis during the proposal presentation. His words were seasoned and insightful, impressing many people and drawing their admiration.
Yu Yihan was also somewhat surprised by Xiao Yufan’s performance. In just one day, the guy she had previously viewed as carefree and frivolous had given her quite the unexpected impression.
The meeting concluded in a very harmonious atmosphere, and Burgess hadn’t uttered a word throughout the entire process. He certainly hadn’t expected that this sudden surprise attack would have absolutely no effect whatsoever.
…
Yu Yihan escorted the representatives from the partnering company downstairs, while Xiao Yufan and others remained in the conference room, waiting for Yu Yihan to return and inform them of the results.
Before long, Yu Yihan returned to the meeting room again—but she didn’t step inside, instead pausing at the door…
“The client…” Everyone’s eyes showed some tension, fixedly staring at Yu Yihan, who stood at the doorway. Her words paused briefly.
“The client has agreed to sign the contract immediately!” Finally, a hint of joy appeared on Yu Yihan’s face as she looked at everyone full of anticipation, adding with relief that her heart could finally settle.
“Yay…” Cheers erupted from the meeting room. After a night of hard work, it had definitely been worth it—the proposal wouldn’t have been completed without everyone’s efforts. Naturally, Xiao Yufan was also very excited at this moment.
The excited cheers lasted for quite some time. It was no wonder everyone was so thrilled—this proposal was undeniably significant. Once the contract was signed, the company’s annual turnover would likely increase by several percentage points.
“I believe everyone must be exhausted after pulling an all-nighter. So for the next four days, we’ll take turns having days off, and salaries will be paid as usual!”
Upon hearing Yu Yihan’s words, everyone finally felt a wave of deep fatigue. After all, they hadn’t rested for an entire day and night. Even Xiao Yufan, who was accustomed to the “nightlife,” was somewhat overwhelmed.
…
After leaving the company, Xiao Yufan returned directly to his rented apartment. He was truly exhausted and wanted to rest. Encountering such a situation on his first day at work made him even wonder whether his streak of bad luck had finally ended.
Overall, the feeling of working a job was quite satisfying. At the very least, he no longer had to constantly worry about making a living or deliberately watch others’ expressions. Compared to his previously idle life, his heart now felt more tired.
Back at his rented apartment, a wave of fatigue surged over him. Xiao Yufan fell asleep without even taking off his clothes.
Doing an ordinary job was quite far from Xiao Yufan’s original plans for revenge. However, as time softened his sharp edges, he gradually realized that after the passionate years had passed, a peaceful and comfortable life was actually quite nice…
Since receiving that golden card, Xiao Yufan hadn’t touched it. At least for now, he didn’t need much money—just enough to get by.
As for where he lived, Xiao Yufan still wanted to continue staying here. The reason was simple: this place held all his difficult memories and many irreplaceable recollections. Moreover, it was undeniable that, gradually, in Xiao Yufan’s life, he had become accustomed to having Yu Yihan around.
Although he was very tired, Xiao Yufan slept very soundly in his rented apartment. Being ordinary brings blessings, perhaps he had already become used to it. However, for some reason, he always felt as if something was about to happen.
…
After a deep sleep, when Xiao Yufan’s consciousness gradually returned, it was already around seven or eight o’clock in the evening. Of course, even waking up at this hour was extremely unwilling on his part, because he had been awakened by the sound of the telephone.
Still groggy, Xiao Yufan answered the call.
“You’re living quite comfortably, huh…” The first sentence let Xiao Yufan immediately recognize his master’s voice. However, he didn’t know why his master had called so late…
“I’m working very hard, how could you say I’m comfortable!” Xiao Yufan mumbled, clearly not yet fully awake.
“I don’t know if you’re comfortable or not, but if having a beautiful woman nearby doesn’t count as comfort, then what would?”
“A beautiful woman nearby…” Xiao Yufan hesitated for a moment before getting up from the bed. He knew who his master was referring to—Yu Yihan. Then he asked curiously, “Master, are you some kind of clairvoyant? How come you know everything about me?”
“That’s a secret. Of course, you’ll find out eventually. I called just to remind you of one thing…”
“What is it?”
“The day after tomorrow is your birthday…” After a brief silence on the other end of the line, a sigh was heard. Xiao Yufan was slightly taken aback—it puzzled him why his master would sigh upon mentioning his birthday…
