In the golden age, the beginning involves controlling Zhu Suosuo.

But you actually said you're not good-looking? I disagree with that.

My daughter Nan is so beautiful. Look at her little face, her smooth skin, her beautiful hair... I love her so much.

My Nan Nan is so beautiful, how can you lack confidence in yourself?

To prove that what she said was true, Xu Hongdou even laid a hand on Chen Nanxing.

He pinched Chen Nanxing's cheek and ran his fingers through her hair...

Chen Nanxing, tickled by Xu Hongdou, laughed and said, "Hongdou, stop it! I seriously suspect you're taking advantage of me."

Xu Hongdou laughed and said, "Me, taking advantage of you? I've taken advantage of you every year for four years of university and six years of work, so what?"

This is a matter of mutual consent; no one can change that.

Chen Nanxing raised his hand, smiled, and said, "I was very unwilling; I was forced."

Xu Hongdou glared at her.

Chen Nanxing smiled and said, "Okay, okay, I'm doing this voluntarily, I'm very willing."

Xu Hongdou lifted Chen Nanxing's chin and said with a smile, "That's more like it."

Xu Hongdou said, "Nannan, don't underestimate yourself. You need to have confidence in yourself, okay?"

If you meet someone you like, go for it; even if you fail, it's not a loss.

“Yes, Red Bean, I think you’re absolutely right. Even if we fail, I won’t lose out,” Chen Nanxing said.

Chen Nanxing smiled at Xu Hongdou and said, "But Hongdou, you don't even have a boyfriend yourself, yet you're here to teach me how to have one. Do you think that's appropriate?"

"Fine, Chen Nanxing, I offered you advice with good intentions, and you actually mocked me. You just wait."

Xu Hongdou was so angry that she reached out and scratched Chen Nanxing again.

"Hehehe~ Red Bean, I was wrong, I was wrong, I'll never do it again~"

Chen Nanxing kept laughing and quickly admitted his mistake.

Only then did Xu Hongdou release Chen Nanxing 030.

The two lay there laughing, staring at the ceiling.

Xu Hongdou said, "Nan Nan, you always say you want to be in a relationship, but you always chicken out. When are you going to take action?"

Chen Nanxing said with a smile, "You know how busy we are with our work every day."

If I started dating someone else, wouldn't that be holding them back?

Xu Hongdou said, "You could have said this from the beginning. If you can accept it, then we can talk about it. If you can't accept it, then forget it."

After all, we've been doing this job for many years, and we've finally made it to the top and gained this qualification.

I can't just give up my most important job for the sake of dating, can I?

Will you starve to death if you rely on a man's meager salary?

If he succeeds, all will be well; but if he fails, won't we lose everything—we'll have nothing left?

Chen Nanxing said, "Hongdou, you're right. No matter what, a woman should have her own job."

Chen Nanxing asked with a smile, "And you, what kind do you like?"

Xu Hongdou said, "The handsome ones."

Chen Nanxing: "Is this the only request?"

Xu Hongdou said, "There are clearly two?"

“You clearly mentioned one handsome guy,” Chen Nanxing repeated.

Xu Hongdou looked at Chen Nanxing and winked meaningfully.

The next moment, Chen Nanxing suddenly realized something.

Chen Nanxing patted Xu Hongdou, blushing, and said, "Hongdou, I really didn't realize you were a sullen person."

You really hid it well! How come I didn't notice when we were in college?

Xu Hongdou laughed and said, "I was just kidding you, you actually took it seriously."

Xu Hongdou said, "I have two conditions for the boyfriend I'm looking for."

One is handsome, after all, I'm so pretty, if I were to find someone too ugly, we wouldn't look good together.

One is someone who is good to me and can tolerate me.

After all, I have many shortcomings, such as being lazy, not being able to cook, and not liking to do housework.

Chen Nanxing smiled and said, "Hongdou, it's quite admirable that you can recognize yourself."

Xu Hongdou said, "I think it's not my fault that I have so many shortcomings. It's probably because I'm too busy with work and I really don't have time."

Chen Nanxing: "Really? Why didn't I see you being diligent in college?"

You might be able to fool others with your words, but you can't fool me.

I lived with you for four years during college, how could I not know what you were like?

Xu Hongdou was really unhappy when Chen Nanxing exposed her boasting.

Xu Hongdou nudged Chen Nanxing and said irritably, "Hey, why is someone so talkative? Can't you just shut up a bit?"

Chen Nanxing smiled and nodded in response.

……

Lin Yi had just finished working with a client who agreed to sign a purchase contract.

The rest is up to Zhu Suosuo to handle.

Lin Yi glanced outside and, finding no new customers for the time being, took out his phone to reply to Andy's message.

After all, Andy is someone he recognizes as his sister. It would be really inappropriate for her to ignore him after the meal and the gift.

Lin Yi: "Sister Andy, I just signed a deal, I'm going to take a break."

Andy: "Don't overwork yourself."

Lin Yi: "I'm fine, Andy. I think you're the one who needs more rest than me."

Andy: "What's wrong with me?"

Lin Yi said, "You're so busy every day, with so many worries. It must be so tiring for you. It breaks my heart to see you like this."

Andy: "I'm fine, I'm used to it. I haven't taken this workload to heart at all, don't worry."

Lin Yi clearly noticed that Andy started talking to him more after he recognized her as his sister.

Lin Yi: "If you don't want me to worry, you have to send me a picture of what you eat every day so I can keep an eye on you."

“Sister Andy, you are my sister. You work so hard every day. If you don’t eat well, you will easily collapse.”

Andy: "I'm really fine."

Lin Yi: "Sister Andy, if you don't film this, I'll feel really bad. Then you don't treat me like your own brother."

Andy: "Okay, okay, I'll film it, I'll film it, alright?"

Even through the screen, Lin Yi could feel Andy's awkwardness.

Lin Yi: That's more like it.

"Andy, don't blame me for me being too nosy. This is only for you. I wouldn't pay any attention to anyone else. Let her do whatever she wants."

Andy: "I know Xiaoyi cares about me. Okay, I'll listen to you from now on. I'll take pictures of what I eat every day."

Lin Yi: "That's more like it. Sister Andy, I feel so good to have a sister like you who cares about me and is so kind to me."

Andy: "It's good to have a younger brother like you."

After finishing my conversation with Andy, I clicked on Xu Li's profile picture.

Lin Yi: "Dr. Xu, what are you doing?"

Xu Li: "I'm working."

Lin Yi joked, "Dr. Xu, my condition may have relapsed again."

"..."

A blush appeared on Xu Li's face: "You're at work right now, tell me, are you slacking off?"

Lin Yi: "No way, it's just that I miss you, I'm sure of it."

Xu Li: "(Smack) (Smack) Focus on your work and don't let your mind wander, or I'll tell your manager."

Lin Yi almost burst out laughing when he saw it.

Tell the manager?

Based on Lin Yi's understanding of Yang Ke, Yang Ke would say, "Lin Yi already works so hard every day, what's wrong with him taking a break?"

Lin Yi: "Alright, I'm not teasing you anymore. I'll come over to your place at noon; I need to talk to you about something."

Xu Li: "Okay, but you're not allowed to do anything reckless."

Lin Yi: "Can't even a kiss?"
