Ding—
A WeChat notification sound chimed, and someone from her contacts had added her on WeChat.
She tapped on the other person's WeChat. The profile displayed: Nickname: Unfettered and Free; Age: 1; Location: Country C.
Shi Ran hesitated for a moment before adding the friend.
"Hello, may I ask who you are…?" she typed and sent a message.
After leaving Lancheng, Shi Ran had changed her phone number and mobile phone, and naturally, her WeChat ID as well.
Her new WeChat ID didn't have many friends.
Ding, her WeChat chimed, and a message popped up, "Why did you think of using 'Time Flies' as your nickname?"
Shi Ran recalled that she had also used 'Time Flies' before.
Shi Ran felt the other person was trying to flirt, and she was somewhat disgusted. "It's just a random name, I was just sighing about the passage of time."
After sending the message, it was like throwing a stone into the sea.
Shi Ran didn't pay much attention to it. Instead, she picked up her phone and started searching for information related to fashion design, beginning her studies.
Yuan Wei was now opening a fashion design studio, and she had to find a way to help him.
…
Lancheng.
Zhuo Rui Technology.
Lu Yanming pushed open the office door and barged in. He saw Qing Muyue, who was engrossed in work at his desk. Lu Yanming walked over and tapped on the desk, "You're so leisurely and comfortable, enjoying yourself immensely."
Qing Muyue initially thought it was Song Ci coming in to report on work, but upon hearing the voice, he realized it was Lu Yanming.
He looked up, "Why have you come over?"
"Why have I come over? Heh!"
Lu Yanming crossed his arms, almost exploding with anger. "You arranged for that formidable Shen Liannuo to work at my company. Are you sure she's here to help me, or to torment me?"
Having always seen Lu Yanming's usual gentle and refined demeanor, but after interacting with Shen Liannuo, he had become much more down-to-earth, which made Qing Muyue stifle a laugh.
"What did she do now?"
Qing Muyue stood up and walked to the desk by the floor-to-ceiling window to grind coffee, asking as he did so.
"That formidable lady, with her leg in a cast, is in the office claiming to be here to learn sincerely. But every day, she bosses me around. I've really had enough!" Lu Yanming walked aggrievedly to the sofa and sat down indignantly, crossing his arms and angrily crossing his legs. "My own mother has never ordered me around like this."
"Women are prone to being delicate; it's quite normal." Qing Muyue said without looking back. "This is considered an early adaptation to having a girlfriend. When you have a girlfriend in the future, you'll know how to take care of her."
Lu Yanming: "Showing off because you have a wife and kids, are you looking down on me?"
Qing Muyue: "You, who have been single since birth for thirty years, do you expect anyone to look up to you?"
Lu Yanming: "I..."
He raised his hand and pushed his wire-rimmed glasses up, his hair still short, and he angrily fiddled with it again. "I really owe you." He then sighed long and hard, "Shen Liannuo's fiery temper, I really don't know who can tolerate it. Whoever marries her is probably suffering from eight lifetimes of bad luck."
"She's just a bit hot-tempered, but she's quite loyal."
Qing Muyue finished brewing the coffee and turned to walk towards Lu Yanming, placing the coffee in front of him. "Calm down a little." He advised Lu Yanming, "Try to think of her good points."
"Good points?"
Lu Yanming followed Qing Muyue's suggestion and thought, "Speaking of good points, there really are some. Every time there are social engagements, a few women would flock to me, and she would chase them all away. Her drinking capacity is astonishing, and she helped me take down quite a few clients. But you know, she's beautiful, and because of that face, she's caused quite a bit of trouble."
