“Why not? Look at me, I also studied journalism like you. Now I've changed my career to be a doctor and an investor, and I've even founded a company.
As long as you are willing to change deep down, calm yourself down, and study diligently, changing careers isn't that difficult,” Shen Xi encouraged her sincerely.
Xie Yifei shook her head. “I can't compare to you. You were a top student in university, with incredibly strong learning abilities. What you can do, I can't.”
“Yifei, don't be like that. You need to have confidence in yourself,” Shen Xi continued to persuade. “Think about it, you've lost your job now. With Zheng Tong's mother causing trouble, I doubt any other TV station in City K will hire you. Your opportunity in the hosting industry is completely gone.
For your godmother’s sake, and for your own future development, you need to let go of your obsessions, find a new ship, and set sail again.
Besides, isn't Jian Fan helping you? Haven't you heard the saying, ‘teamwork makes the dream work’?
Even more so now that you're a couple. You'll surely achieve something great together.
Isn’t that right, Jian Fan?”
Upon hearing this, Jian Fan immediately replied, “Sister Xi is absolutely right. Yifei, I’m really busy over there and desperately need a helper. Why don't you come and join us?”
“Can I really?” Xie Yifei’s heart pounded as she listened to their enthusiastic invitations.
“Absolutely,” the two people in front of her looked at each other and replied in unison.
The three of them burst into laughter and clinked their glasses together.
Finally having appeased Xie Yifei, Shen Xi chatted with them for a while longer before leaving the private room early, citing her child’s early school start the next morning.
She slung her bag over her shoulder and walked forward with light steps.
Unbeknownst to her, two men in black were stealthily following her from behind.
Seeing that there was no one ahead, they exchanged glances and were about to accost her when suddenly, a private room door opened, and a tall, strong man walked out.
Shen Xi exclaimed in surprise, “Officer Han, what a coincidence, you're here too?”
The two men behind her broke out in a cold sweat and immediately darted into the side corridor.
They pressed their bodies tightly against the wall, holding their breath and straining to listen to the conversation ahead.
“Shen Xi. Why are you calling me that? Didn't we agree before to call each other by our names?” Han Haoming looked at her with a gentle smile playing on his lips.
Her eyebrows rising slightly, Shen Xi walked up quickly. “Perhaps I’m just used to calling you that, and I haven't seen you in a while. I got excited and didn't correct myself.”
Han Haoming glanced at the bag on her shoulder and asked, “Are you planning to leave?”
Shen Xi replied, “Yes.”
Han Haoming said, “I was just about to leave too. Shall we go together?”
“Okay,” Shen Xi replied with a smile, and they walked towards the elevator doors together.
She happened to have something she wanted to tell him.
They entered the elevator one after another. Shen Xi turned her head to look at him. “How is your aunt doing?”
“She’s much better. I’ve hired a nanny to look after her at home. She also exercises daily, and her body isn't as numb as before,” Han Haoming replied with a relaxed expression.
“That’s good,” Shen Xi paused for a moment, then continued, “Don't put all your energy into work. You still need to rest on the weekends.
Take your aunt downstairs more often to get some fresh air. It will also make her feel more cheerful.
When people get sick, they feel a strong sense of loneliness. Only having family around can help alleviate these emotions.”
As they spoke, they had already exited the elevator and arrived in the underground parking lot.
“Yes. I’ll keep that in mind,” Han Haoming said gratefully. “During my mother’s hospitalization, it was thanks to your acupuncture that she was able to be discharged so quickly.”
Shen Xi stopped, her gaze softening. “What I did was insignificant. The person you should truly thank is not me, but Si Yue.
Think about that day, if she hadn’t discovered your aunt collapsing in time, the consequences would have been unimaginable.”
Upon hearing this, Han Haoming slowly lowered his head and asked after a long pause, “How… how is she now?”
