“See? I didn’t lie to you. Being a waiter at a high-end banquet is easy money,” Li Sheng said, sliding his chair over and bumping into Chen Zan’s workstation.
Chen Zan looked at him with heavy dark circles under his eyes, exhaustion written all over his face, like he hadn’t slept at all.
Last night, he realized Jiang Youwei could still access the apartment they rented back in college.
After returning home, his mind had been racing nonstop.
It wasn’t just him thinking about her all these years.
She had been thinking about him too?
It was very possible.
But Chen Zan figured that Jiang Youwei’s thoughts about him were probably filled more with resentment than anything else.
Thinking about it, every time her career advanced, she would return to the place they once shared, recall those unbearable memories, and use them to push herself forward…
Chen Zan’s brow twitched.
If that was really the case, then Jiang Youwei was truly not an ordinary woman.
Worried the supervisor might catch him slacking off, Li Sheng quickly slid back to his own desk. He leaned his head over again and said, “Did you really go out in the middle of the night to be a male model or something? You look completely drained.”
Chen Zan shook his head.
He had just been thinking about Jiang Youwei, unable to fall asleep. This chapter was taken from novelping.com without permission.
Suddenly, a stack of documents dropped down from above, blocking Li Sheng’s view of Chen Zan. He immediately switched his screen to a work page, pretending to be busy.
Wang Hao was still away on a business trip. There was no one left to cover for them when the supervisor suddenly appeared.
Liu Qin’s voice came down like a death sentence, “Chen Zan, organize all of these and give them to me before the end of the workday.”
Chen Zan forced a smile, finding humor in hardship, “Got it.”
After the supervisor left, Li Sheng let out a long sigh. “You know, if we were rich young masters, life would be great. We could be as carefree as those guys.”
It was graduation season, and campus recruitment was in full swing. Almost every position in the company had been filled with the boss’s relatives.
They ate, drank, played around, and occasionally discussed life philosophies. Just like that, their workday passed pleasantly.
Meanwhile, Chen Zan, the overworked grunt, handled the workload of two or three people. The excessive amount of work made it impossible to finish before the end of the day, and even staying late earned him cold looks from the supervisor.
Sometimes, Chen Zan couldn’t understand it. Was the supervisor also the boss’s relative? Why insist on saving the boss money that shouldn’t even be saved?
Thinking about this, Chen Zan couldn’t help but think of his own father.
To be honest, he didn’t really hate his father. Although he had only been a rich second-generation heir for a short time, without that status, how could he have dated the campus belle Jiang Youwei?
Everything had its cause and effect. Besides, not everything turned out badly.
He had secretly gone to visit Jiang Yan, Jiang Youwei’s younger brother. The boy who once lay weak in a hospital bed was now a healthy young man. Enjoying the story? Read on at g.com.
At that time, Chen Zan had only one thought: what he did back then was damn right.
At least the money spent on Jiang Yan’s treatment had been worth it.
When it was time to get off work, Chen Zan was still buried in a pile of documents.
Sure enough, the supervisor appeared again, his sharp, piercing gaze scanning for whichever unfortunate employee was still working overtime.
“Still not done yet?”
The supervisor spoke with disdain, “Chen Zan, you’ve been here a while now. Your efficiency isn’t good enough.”
For a man, nothing was more taboo than being told he wasn’t capable.
Immediately, Chen Zan finished organizing the documents and slammed them onto the desk in front of him. He flashed a forced smile, showing all eight teeth, “Done.”
For once, a hint of appreciation appeared in the supervisor’s eyes. “Not bad. As expected of you.”
Even though every day was like this, when the year-end awards were announced, Chen Zan was never named an outstanding employee.
These kinds of industry tricks became crystal clear after working for a few years.
Chen Zan understood it well.
Instead of getting tangled up in these frustrations every day, it was better to figure out a way to make money on his own.
